The three of them came to the First People's Hospital of Yangchun City.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Liangzi took them and walked towards Huang Lao's ward.

He said as he walked: "We came to Yangchun City, and after listening to the report of the matter, we came to the hospital to visit the person concerned. Before Huang Lao retired, he was the deputy director of the Yangchun City Public Security Bureau, he was an upright person, and he handled many cases over the years, and also offended many people. ”

Wanru said puzzledly: "Huang Lao is really upright enough, he has not had many good friends for so many years. There was no one to help at the critical moment. ”

Xiao Liangzi said: "As far as we know, several of his apprentices have called him, but they are soft-spoken, what can they do?" ”

Wanru and the three walked into Huang Lao's hospital room and saw Huang Lao lying on the hospital bed on an intravenous drip.

When he saw Wanru and Xiao Liangzi, his eyes immediately brightened, and he knew that Xiao Liangzi was the leader from above, so he hurriedly wanted to sit up.

Wanru stepped forward and took a few quick steps, stopped and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, my name is Zhang Wanru, my father is Zhang Fakui, and my mother is Wang Cuiping. Do you still have an impression? ”

After hearing this, Huang Lao looked at Wanru's face for a while, and immediately said happily: "Of course I remember." You look a lot like your mother. Are your parents okay? ”

"Yes. They have been retired for several years. The body is all very good. ”

Huang Lao looked at Xiao Liangzi again. Seeing that he was such a big leader, he was very respectful to Wanru, and first moved Wanru's seat and let her sit down to talk, while he stood beside Zhang Wanru.

I also want to get out of bed and move a seat for Xiao Liangzi.

Wanru hurriedly smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. What happened yesterday, you don't have to worry, I will definitely give you justice. ”

Xiao Liangzi also hurriedly said: "You are always at ease for treatment, in order to handle the case as soon as possible, you still need your old cooperation." You are a veteran detective, and you must know the local situation for so many years. ”

Huang Lao narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I know very well." So my popularity is not very good, and I have been marginalized for a long time. However, there are many things that I know in my heart. I will actively cooperate if necessary. ”

After speaking, he looked at Wanru again, and his eyes flashed with a friendly brilliance.

Gently asked, "Girl, when did you learn such a skill?" At that time, I was scared enough by you, and you dared to intervene in the face of so many strong men? ”

Wanru pursed her lips embarrassedly and smiled: "You taught me Wing Chun, and I left before I finished teaching." Later, I followed an old man and switched to Tai Chi. ”

Huang Lao said with satisfaction: "Not bad! That old man must be a master, and your ability has reached the point of being unfathomable. ”

Wanru said with a smile: "At that time, the purpose of studying was to strengthen the body; It is also to protect yourself in case of danger in the future. I didn't expect our two to be so fateful, and they can help you at critical moments. ”

Xiao Liangzi's mobile phone rang, he walked out of the ward to answer the phone, and came back to Wanru and said, "I want to go back to the bureau, call me if you have something." ”

Wanru said to Liu Yanhong: "You follow him and go and drive our car over." ”

After Liu Yanhong and Xiao Liangzi left.

Huang Lao looked at Wanru and asked, "Do you know this leader from above?" ”

Wanru really doesn't know how to answer?

Honestly? Such a complex relationship will not be clear for a while; Don't tell the truth? Once he saw his father, he would know everything.

After thinking about it for a long time, he was embarrassed and said, "Yes, it's very familiar." He called me sister. However, we will talk about this later, and you had better not talk about it to outsiders. I have already shown your comrade-in-arms relationship with my father with the leaders of the province. He also said that the matter would be handled fairly. ”

Huang Lao felt more and more that this girl had a sense of mystery from the conversation. Those people were all injured by her yesterday, and even if they were brave, they would not be released so easily.

As a result, not only was he released, but nothing happened.

Letting go of all curiosity, he asked, "How did you come to Yangchun City?" ”

Wanru told him the reason for coming this time.

Then he said with a smile: "I just arrived yesterday evening, and I wanted to stay in Yangchun City for one night, and then go to the county seat of Shangzhu the next day." ”

Huang Lao shook his head, sighed and said, "Alas! This kind of thing is no longer strange here. In recent years, with the reform and opening up, people's minds have become lively, some are doing business, some are relying on demolition, and many people have become rich.

However, there are some people, the poor and the rich. It's not far from the casino, and I want to go over and try my luck. But there is a saying in business, 'it is better to buy than to sell', let alone make some money?

Only those who keep their hearts and work hard can really make a fortune. That's the phrase 'big waves wash the sand'.

Wanru listened to the old man's words and thought so.

Tian Kun is in Jiangcheng City, in his own circle.

He can't be the richest, so he doesn't have so many flowers in his heart. But as soon as he returned to his hometown, he became a leader in comparison with each other.

Under the flattery and flickering of others, it's strange if you don't flutter!

Huang Lao pondered for a while, and then said:

I don't know this classmate of yours. I knew his father, though. His father owned a construction company, and he was a bit of a celebrity with us. After he died the year before, I also heard that his son had gambled all the family property.

He also borrowed usury, sold his family's villa to pay off his debts, and finally hid in Tibet.

I really don't know which tendon is wrong with this kid? Do such a foolish thing. Usury in casinos, which is calculated by the number of days. Some still have triad backgrounds.

Even if they want to pay it off all at once, they will hide and wait for the interest to rise day by day. As long as those who borrow usury are their big benefactors.

Even if they want to die, they will be on guard everywhere.

Wanru asked suspiciously: "I heard that the interest on the loan is nine out of thirteen, that is, ten are borrowed, and only nine are given." At that time, one deduction is counted as interest. A total of thirteen are repaid when due. It is 40% of the principal. ”

Huang Lao shook his head, sighed and said: Nine out of ten bets are lost, and the water in this is very deep. Once you become addicted, you will not be able to lose your family and property, which can be described as knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow.

Casino lending is a donkey rolling with interest and interest on the donkey. One cost per day, plus three compound interest, three days for one period, one percent of the penalty interest for default during the period, and double the penalty interest for two days.

This is far more than nine out of thirteen returns, and it is no longer an ordinary usury.

Wanru finally understood that Tian Kun didn't have the money to pay off the loan at once, but because they wanted to hang him and charge high interest.

Huang Lao said calmly: I have handled several cases. Casinos usually rely on Torah gamblers to get there. These trusts are specifically looking for some wealthy people in the interior, and this is the first step.

Pull past gamblers, they call them pigs.

At the gambling table, many people will slowly guide the pigs, make the pigs addicted, and let the pigs make less money from time to time. This step is to feed the pigs, also known as the hook.

After a long time, the pigs continue to lose money.

The psychology of gamblers is clear, from making money in the past, to losing money later, and since they have lost, they want to earn it back.

Such a pig is counted as a bait. The more you gamble, the more you lose. There is no way, I will look for money again and come back to turn over the book.

When the pig came back from making money, the casino desperately fed him pig feed. After a long time, he was fattened, and the casino began to kill pigs.

During this period, he also occasionally let him win a few handfuls. When the casino boss encounters such a fat pig, he not only wants him to spit out what he eats, but also makes him poor.

The next thing is to herd the pigs, which is to let the pigs go out again to get money.

After returning to the table, making less money and losing much more, the casino gave him a hook, loosened and tightened.

Let him see a glimmer of hope, and then there will be even greater disappointment, which is what really makes the pig crazy.

In the end, when there was no money, he borrowed money from the casino.

Once you borrow money, you put a shackle around the pig's neck. Forcing pigs to sell their properties, if they really can't pay it back, they are afraid that pigs will commit suicide, so there will be people watching closely.

Many pigs that can't afford to borrow money are let by the casino. The fatter the pigs they pull, the more they can draw, and the more they can pay off the casino's debts.

After Wanru heard this, it was like hearing a distant legend, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart. If you want to get wealth without hard work, it is simply a big dream. On this road paved with wealth, there are traps everywhere.

He looked at the old man and asked, "I want to pay back the money for him first, he still has shares in my textile factory, and it will get better in the future." How can I do this? ”

Huang Lao thought for a while and said: "You still have to go to the casino and find the person who handled the loan, only by paying off the arrears and recovering the documents can it be counted as two clearances." ”

Wanru already knew this, and then hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Uncle Huang, is the Audi they smashed yours?" ”

Huang Lao sighed distressedly and said, "Alas! It's my grandson's, and luckily he's not at home, and if he was there yesterday, with that little guy's urine, I'll have to fight with them. ”

Wanru has been wondering in her heart, doesn't the old man know martial arts? Why did you behave so badly yesterday?

But in order not to embarrass the old man, he still didn't ask.

Unexpectedly, the old man had already gained insight into Wanru's careful thoughts.

He smiled and said a little embarrassedly: Girl, do you want to ask, why didn't I have the strength to fight back?

Haha, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, in fact, I only studied for more than half a year before joining the army, and I still study for two or three hours a day. I also learned half-baked. It's just a little bit stronger than the average person.

But when I was in the army, I found that you little girl is smarter than your brother, and she can teach you a little bit of tricks. It's a pity that I didn't teach the full set of moves.

Wanru was in a good mood when she saw the old man talking about the past, and she lost no time in saying cutely:

"Hehe, you always have a pair of discerning eyes, not only do you always say that; Even Grandpa Chen, who taught me tai chi, said the same thing. I also only study with Grandpa Chen for an hour or two in the early morning. I studied for more than five years. ”

After hearing this, a bright smile appeared on Huang Lao's face, and he said: "Little girl, you are still like when you were a child, you are always elves and eccentric, and you have bullied your two elder brothers. Your level of hidden weapons is very high, was it also taught to you by that Grandpa Chen? ”

"Yes. He also gave me a few darts and told me not to hurt anyone, so he taught me how to use stones. This would not kill people, nor would it be a sharp weapon. You can also pick it up at any time. ”

After Huang Lao's drip is infusion, you can go to the ground and move.

Wanru asked the doctor about Huang Lao's injury, it was not very serious, the ribs were cracked three times, and they were not broken, so they recovered faster.

Huang Lao took Wanru to see Aunt Huang and his son Huang Kai.

Huang Kai's left leg bone was almost broken.

Aunt Huang had two teeth knocked out, her face was still red and swollen, and her speech was a little unclear.

When Liu Yanhong came back, it was already dark.

Wanru knew that the Huang family couldn't leave the hospital and asked everyone about the food they wanted to eat. Let Liu Yanhong buy it back.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that Wanru said goodbye to the Huang family. And tell them to come back and visit them when they are done.

Leaving the hospital, Wanru said to Liu Yanhong, "Let's go find a place to stay for the night." ”

Liu Yanhong hurriedly said: "I have already booked a room at Penghua Hotel. I heard Shangguan say that the backstage of those people is indeed the person we are talking about, but there are other people they are investigating. ”

"Didn't they say, how to deal with this matter of the Huang family?"

"It's still under investigation, but that backstage will also be investigated."

Liu Yanhong remembered that the short and fat young man who was pulled in front of him by Sister Wanru as a shield by Shangguan might become a vegetative person.

It is conceivable that if those sticks are smashed on Sister Wanru's body, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In my heart, I have to admire the wit of this angel sister.

It can be seen from Shangguan's eyes that he admires and admires his cheap sister very much, and it is not without reason.

Wanru and Liu Yanhong live in a room on the 38th floor.

Stand at the window and look out over the city at night.

In the dark night, the lights of thousands of homes are highlighted, and the flashing traffic lights on the side of the street converge into a colorful city that never sleeps, which also gives people a dreamlike impression of being lit up.

It's a deep immersion in it. Feel the tranquility and warmth of the whole city.

In the past two days, Wanru felt physically and mentally exhausted. Especially last night, the two of them were locked up in that dark room and sat all night.

If you want to say that you don't give in your heart, it is against your heart, so in order not to make extraneous branches, you have to endure it.

She quickly took a hot bath to get rid of the bad luck on her body, and after washing, she lay down on the large bed. Thinking about everything that came to Yangchun City in my mind was really an unusual experience.

There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.

When Wanru and Liu Yanhong came to the county seat of Shangjian, it didn't take much to find the residence of Tian Kun's family.

When he knocked on the door of Tian's house, it was Tian Kun's wife who came to open the door.

After Wanru introduced herself to her, she excitedly invited them into the house.

Wanru saw that in the three-bedroom room, the furniture was very old. A white-haired old lady is lying on a bed in her bedroom.

Tian Kun's wife hurriedly introduced to the old man: "Mom, this is Tian Kun's classmate, and he used to follow her to build a building. ”

After hearing this, the old man's cloudy eyes were a little moist, and he hurriedly sat up.

Excitedly greeted Tian Kun's wife and said, "Guo Qian, go and make tea for the guests." ”

Wanru hurriedly supported her, for fear of causing her sadness, and smiled gently: "Auntie, don't be so polite." I'm here to do some errands, and I'm stopping by to visit you. ”

Everyone still sat in the living room, and was relatively silent for a while.

In the end, it was the old man who broke the silence.

He said to Wanru in a hoarse voice: "Child, I heard Ah Kun say that you, you classmates, are all affectionate and righteous people. Before the Spring Festival, Ah Kun left us a letter and asked Guo Qian to take me and my children to Jiangcheng to join you. He said, you will take good care of us. ”

Before he could finish speaking, tears flowed like a flood that burst the embankment.

Guo Qian also said with tears in her eyes: Ah Kun did such a ridiculous thing, and he was also dizzy for a while. I wanted to divorce him, but what about the old people in the family.

I also have an eldest sister, and in order to help him pay off the bill, the two of them also had an unpleasant quarrel. He left a will, distributed all the shares of the textile factory, and wanted to die. But how can we live with orphans and widows?

Wanru had no choice but to comfort: "Why don't you call me?" I still listened to Ji Yuqing. I was afraid that something would happen again, so I came over. ”

When I saw Guo Qian, I took a tissue for my mother-in-law to wipe her tears.

He continued: "There is no one who does not make mistakes, and if he can be taught a lesson, there is hope for a good person." Where is he now? I'll see him first. If you pay it back, you all go back with me. There was a house, there was also a stake in a textile factory, and it was built from scratch. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Okay." We don't want to stay here anymore. In the past few years, we have felt too much warmth and coldness. ”

At noon, Wanru finally met Tian Kun.

Wanru was shocked the moment she made eye contact with him, seeing that his face was haggard, and his whole body had lost a lot of weight. The cheekbones are prominent, the eye sockets are deep, the gray hair has increased a lot, and the face is decadent and tired.

When Tian Kun first saw Wanru, he was like a frightened rabbit, his eyes dodging.

After calming down for a moment, he saw Wanru's stunned expression, and then reluctantly, he barely squeezed out a helpless smile.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Wanru, he said in despair: "Wanru is here, I really don't have the face to see you." ”

Wanru looked at him and asked lightly, "Tell me, why did it happen like this?" ”

Tian Kun's expression was both frustrated and guilty, and his speech was a little sluggish.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I, after I returned home, my father died soon after, and I was in a bad mood, so I followed my friend to the casino, and I stepped into the quagmire with one foot, and I couldn't extricate myself. ”

He spoke, but he didn't dare to look at Wanru's eyes, swallowed a mouthful of bitter saliva, lowered his head, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant.

In his mind, those unbearable days were like being cursed by a gamble, and he directly lost his mind.

Wanru looked at him not only down, but also like a frightened bird, and her heart was not good.

Thinking that he was so irrational, the anger in his heart gradually spread, and the black lines on his forehead scurried, and his teeth itched with hatred.

If it were his own son, he would have to beat him violently.

Liu Yanhong saw Wanru's gloomy face at this time, as if she could wring out water. The angry eyes were fixed on Tian Kun, as if he would hit someone at any time.

I can't help but sweat for this thin man.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, like a sharp lack of oxygen, which made everyone breathless.

Wanru saw Tian Kun's fingers, which were yellowed by smoke, and knew that he didn't smoke before.

Tian Kun looked at the cigarette on the coffee table, pouted, raised his eyes and glanced at Wanru, but finally didn't hold back, took out a cigarette and lit one, and took a few deep breaths.

The smoke that came out of it curled in front of him and spread throughout the room.

Wanru watched his movements and slowly calmed down.

I thought, fortunately, I went to the casino, if I became an addict, it would be a complete waste. Seeing the smoke filling the room, Tian Kun gradually calmed down.

Wanru thought to herself, something had already happened, and there was no point in continuing to get to the bottom of it. Or solve the problem and free the family from the pain.

I had to ease my tone and ask: "Isn't last year's dividend enough to repay the debt?" How much do you owe now? ”

He took another deep puff of his cigarette, swallowed a bitter mouthful of saliva, and twitched his face a few times, as if he had made up his mind.

Dejectedly, he said: "Actually, I was able to pay it off at first, and when I even sold the house to borrow money, and after I scraped up enough, I took the money to pay them back, and the person concerned would hide." As a result, the interest will roll over and the interest will roll, and now more than 30 million yuan is still owed, but if it is the end of the year, all kinds of interest will be doubled. ”

"I'm coming over this time, I'll pay off all the accounts with you, and take my family back to Jiangcheng City. I heard that your son graduated from college. I will ask someone to arrange a job for him. You go back and continue to build the building. ”

When Tian Kun heard Wanru's arrangement, tears immediately slipped from his eyes, and then he hugged his head and cried. Crying, resentment, remorse, helplessness, all the central threads are intertwined.

He is like a child who has done something wrong, and like a child who has infinite grievances in his heart, and finally confides in front of the people he trusts.

For more than a year, one wrong step has made this man who has always been sunny to the point of difficulty. Just when he was cornered, Wanru came over thousands of miles to pull him.

When I saw Wanru, it was like being closed in a hazy space, and finally seeing the sun, and I felt the warm sunshine and emitted brilliant colors.

Wanru didn't bother him, and wanted him to cry a lot. can cry, and can also vent the accumulation in my heart.

After Wanru saw that he had calmed down, she said to him, "You prepare the required documents, and we will go to the casino with you." Let's get to know about it. ”
