Chapter Twelve That's It

Gu Haidong has a wife named Tang Xiumei. They have been married for ten years. Gu Haidong loves and fears her at the same time.

Tang Xiumei has a bad hobby and is addicted to gambling. Whenever she has money, she throws it into the casino.

Some time ago, Ji Yunqing celebrated his birthday in Shanghai. Originally, birthday gifts were not given to minor characters like Gu Haidong, but Tang Xiumei had a cousin who happened to be a servant in Ji Yunqing's family.

Gu Haidong was thinking about whether he could use this relationship to find a way to give Ji Yunqing a big gift. Once the old man appreciated it, would he worry about not being able to get ahead in the future?

So Gu Haidong gritted his teeth and decided to sell his farmland in the countryside of Wuxi. He also pawned his house, collected ten thousand yuan, and gave it to Tang Xiumei to find a way out.

But I never expected that when Tang Xiumei arrived in Shanghai, her cousin didn't see her. When she passed a casino, she couldn't walk on her feet.

She gambled there for a day and a night, losing all her ten thousand yuan.

Gamblers are like this, the more they lose, the more they want to make up their losses.

Tang Xiumei had followed Gu Haidong for ten years and knew all the Qing Gang's incision rules. At that time, she went to the casino owner and negotiated to borrow money to recover her losses.

She gave her husband's name and the old man she was praying to. He was from a wealthy family. Naturally, the casino was not afraid that she would run away, so it readily lent her the money.

Tang Xiumei stayed in the casino for three days in a row, until the casino stopped lending her money.

But once the accounts were settled, Tang Xiumei was dumbfounded.

In the past three days, she owed the casino thirty thousand yuan.

The casino did not make things difficult for her, and arranged for her to be well-fed and well-served in the casino. They sent someone to Wuxi to inform Gu Haidong that her sister-in-law owed a gambling debt in Shanghai, totaling thirty thousand yuan. They were both Qinggang brothers, and the interest was exempted.

Only the principal is counted.

There is a limit of thirty days. Please Mr. Gu may not settle the account within the time limit. Within the time limit, my sister-in-law must eat and drink, and she will never damage a hair.

Once the time limit is over, every three days is an issue, and a finger is given to the sister-in-law. One day counts, the finger is not a toe, and if the toe is gone, it is an arm and a thigh.

Gu Haidong was dumbfounded and asked his brothers to find out. It was the business of Du Yuesheng, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai. The money must not be missing.

By then, not only would Tang Xiumei lose her life, she would also be taken to Shanghai.

His house is mortgaged, how can he still have money to save his wife?

Moreover, his class was very low. Yang Xinli never wanted to help others easily, and his own apprentice was no exception. He would definitely not ask Ji Yunqing for help for his own sake.

When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he suddenly asked: "Did you instigate the kidnapping of Luo Hewang?"

"How do you know?" Gu Haidong was startled, and then he changed his words in a panic: "What is Luo Hewang, what does it have to do with us?"

Meng Shaoyuan no longer had any doubts: "Mr. Gu, wise people don't tell secret stories, and brothers are not people who like to meddle in other people's business. I was entrusted by others to rescue Luo Hewang, so whether it was you who planned it or Yang Xinli's own idea,

It has nothing to do with me, I just want to see Luo Hewang alive. If you delay me here for one more minute, the thirty-day deadline will have passed by one more minute."

While he was talking, he never relaxed and observed Gu Haidong's expression and every move.

This guy was very nervous when he heard the "thirty day deadline" and his right hand even trembled.

Gu Haidong hesitated for a while: "Come on, Boss Meng, if that's the case, I won't hide it from you. Yes, Luo Yuancheng has a grudge against the Thirteenth Master, so I encouraged him to kidnap Luo Hewang in the hope of getting a ransom.

Seeing that I have merit, the Third Master can give me a sum of money so that I can meet my urgent needs...The Thirteenth Master accepted my plan, but he is too greedy..."

(When he said the words "He is too greedy", he was full of resentment and clenched his fist, which was a sign of dissatisfaction. Meng Shaoyuan looked at the other person calmly.)

"Master Thirteen actually wants to extort three million from others! How is it possible? Yang Xinli knows that Luo Yuancheng cannot pay three million, but he just wants to extort the last piece of the Luo family's ocean... He can afford to wait, but I can't wait

Get up..."

(He changed the name of "Thirteenth Master" to "Yang Xinli". This was said unconsciously when he was anxious and angry. He was very dissatisfied with Yang Xinli.)

"There are only ten days left in the thirty-day period. Originally, I had already persuaded Master Thirteen to take one million, but who would have thought that you came today. Yang Xinli mentioned one and a half million again.

And I’ll give you seven days to raise money. I don’t have time. Even if you can really get the money, it will take a while to distribute it..."

(This guy is like an ant on a hot pot now. No, he keeps leaning back unconsciously when he talks. Once a person makes this kind of action, he is deliberately hiding something. This is a sign of guilty conscience. He also

What was left unsaid!)

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "So that's what happened. Mr. Gu, this matter is easy to solve. You just need to tell me where Luo Hewang is. You don't need to help us. I'll give you 30,000 yuan!"

Gu Haidong was overjoyed, but then his face turned gloomy again, and he murmured: "Thank you very much, but it's not enough. Thirty thousand oceans is not enough..."

What's the meaning?

Doesn’t it only cost 30,000 yuan to save his wife?

His performance just now...the things he was hiding there...why 30,000 oceans wasn't enough...

An idea flashed in Meng Shaoyuan's mind, and he understood it completely: "Mr. Gu, you want to rob Yang Xinli!"

"What?" Gu Haidong stood up suddenly, his face turned pale: "What are you talking about?"

Meng Shaoyuan slapped the table, and Tian Qi behind him understood, pulled out a gun, and pointed the gun at Gu Haidong: "Sit down!"

Gu Haidong was frightened, and under the threat of gunpoint, he slowly sat down, his body still trembling slightly.

"Gu Haidong!" Meng Shaoyuan was no longer polite: "Your wife is a gambler and owes 30,000 yuan. In order to please Ji Yunqing, you sold your land and mortgaged your house, leaving you with nothing!

So, you incited Yang Xinli to kidnap Luo Hewang, and then started thinking of ransom. You knew that Yang Xinli would definitely not come forward personally to collect the ransom, and would definitely appoint you.

When the time comes, you will secretly gather a group of people, and once the ransom is obtained, they will rob them halfway. You have already found these robbers, and promised benefits. Unfortunately, it is not what everyone wants... You lead it yourself..."

Think about it, there is no such idiom of "directing and acting" in this era, right? I quickly changed my words: "This group of robbers is definitely not afraid of Yang Xinli, and may even be Yang Xinli's enemy. So even if Yang Xinli knows about it, there is nothing he can do!"

Tian Qi suddenly interrupted: "Xue Sanqiang!"

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan was startled.

Tian Qi explained: "The lake bandit Xue Sanqiang in Taihu Lake has been doing this since his great-grandfather. They are all over Taihu Lake, and no one can do anything to them. Officers and soldiers have encircled and suppressed them dozens of times, and they have succeeded every time. This guy's marksmanship
