I asked Wu Di to drive the car farther away, lest he see my car when he comes back later and run away.
Time continued to pass minute by minute, more than ten minutes had passed, and he still hadn't come back.
I even couldn't wait any longer and said to Xiaorou: "Call him again and urge him."
She nodded and immediately called Chen Xiaogang again.
"Xiao Gang, how long do you have? I've been waiting for a long time. If you don't come back, I will leave!"
"Arrived soon? Okay, hurry up."
After nodding, she said to me: "Brother, he will be here soon."
Wu Di and I immediately found a place to hide nearby, and pushed him down as soon as he went upstairs.
A few more minutes passed, and I finally heard footsteps coming from not far away downstairs. Because it was late at night, the footsteps were particularly obvious.
I have already made arrangements for Wu Di. As soon as he goes upstairs, I will put him on the ground directly.
"Hurry up! I've been waiting for you for a long time." Xiaorou replied.
Then I heard footsteps coming upstairs, and I immediately stood up and stood next to Xiaorou.
After a while, Chen Xiaogang came up. As soon as he came out of the stairs, he said: "Xiaorou, look what I bought you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw me and then froze on the spot.
The next moment, he turned around and prepared to run.
But Wu Di was already behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he was directly pressed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Then I said to that Xiaorou: "Okay, you can go, thank you."
He quickly ran to the stairs, and when he passed by Chen Xiaogang, he said to him apologetically: "I'm sorry Xiaogang, they forced me."
After saying that, she ran downstairs and left.
I walked up to Chen Xiaogang, and before I could say anything, he spoke first: "Brother, I...I was wrong, please don't...don't do this, okay?"
"You still know that I am your brother?"
"Yes, break the bones and connect the tendons."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk in the room first!"
With that said, I signaled to Wu Di and asked him to let Chen Xiaogang get up.
After entering the house, I closed the door and Wu Di stood guard at the door.
I didn't talk nonsense to him and asked directly: "Where are the things?"
"What...what?"
"Don't pretend to me! You took my things, take them out quickly! I don't want to argue with you."
"Brother, I...I don't know what you are talking about."
I really didn't expect him to be like this, so I sneered, looked at him and said, "I mean Chen Xiaogang, are you going to force me? I tell you, that thing is very important to me, please take it out for me quickly..." …If you want money, I can give it to you, and you can bring out the things for me.”
I can basically conclude that he did not come here for the palm print, because if he came for the palm print, he would not come back.
After hearing what I said, he finally admitted it and said to me: "I... have already sold it."
"Sold?" I looked at him blankly.
He nodded and lowered his head.
I suddenly became furious and said angrily: "You just took it from me tonight, and you sold it after you changed hands?"
"Well, I just sold it."
"Where was it sold?"
"Just...just in the pawn shop."
"I really..." I raised my hand, but put it down helplessly. I really wanted to hit him.
But now even if I beat him to death, I can't get the palm print back, so I had to patiently say to him: "Now, take me to find him immediately."
He didn't dare to neglect and nodded immediately.
I asked Wu Di to hold him down and left the shanty town.
I let him get into my car and let him lead the way.
I asked him how far it was and he told me it was about half an hour's drive.
I was really annoyed by him and asked him, "Do you know what that is? Just sold it?"
He shook his head and whispered: "I don't know, I just saw it fall out of your pocket. It looked like an antique, just, just..."
"How much did it cost?"
"The boss said it wasn't worth anything, so he gave me two hundred yuan."
"I'm riding a horse..." I raised my hand and almost knocked him off.
He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but I put it down feeling helpless, sighed and said: "Chen Xiaogang, I tell you, if you can't find that thing, you are dead!"
"Ah!?" He was so frightened that his voice trembled, "Brother, then... what is that thing? The pawn shop owner said it's worthless!"
"It's not valuable to you, but it's priceless to me."
"I'm sorry, brother, I really... really didn't mean it, I was just hot-headed for a moment, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."
I was speechless, shook my head and sighed: "Chen Xiaogang, Chen Xiaogang, I trust you so much, why are you doing this?"
"I just went crazy thinking about money, brother, I was really wrong."
"Are you that short of money?"
"Well, I owe a lot of debt, and I really can't do anything about it. I heard you came back this time, so I just wanted to borrow some money from you."
"It's up to you to borrow money! What if I don't lend you money?"
"Wrong, brother, I was really wrong. Can you beat me to vent your anger?"
"It's useless to beat you to death. If you can't get your things back, I'll tell you again."
In great anxiety, I finally arrived at the pawn shop Chen Xiaogang mentioned, but it was closed.
After all, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and except for some late-night beer drinkers, there was no one on the street.
But there was a phone on the door, so I called according to the phone number on the door.
After a long time, a lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it?"
"Boss, did you receive a box that looks like a seal tonight? It's probably a little bigger than a cigarette box, and it's dark purple."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Please come here, that thing is mine."
"What is yours?"
I understand these rules, and I can’t care about that much now, so I can only say: “Can I redeem it?”
"Let's talk tomorrow, I'm already asleep."
"No, boss, you have to come now. I can add more money."
"It doesn't matter how much money you add. If you say tomorrow, it will be tomorrow."
He hung up immediately before I could say anything.
When I called him again, he hung up on me again, and when I called him again, his phone was turned off.
grass!
I couldn't help but cursed loudly, and turned to look at Chen Xiaogang. He thought I was going to hit him, so he quickly reached out to cover his head.
Looking at his cowardly appearance, I was really helpless. Why did Chen Xiaogang become like this?
But what if I beat him up now? The most important thing is to find the palm print.
But the owner of the pawn shop didn't know what to do. He hung up the phone before I even negotiated the price with him.
So what can I do? I can only find a hotel nearby and stay there first, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow.
I opened a triple room in a hotel near the pawn shop.
In order to prevent Chen Xiaogang from running away in the middle of the night, I asked Wu Di to buy two ropes from a supermarket that was still open and tie up his hands and feet.
I said to him: "Don't blame me for treating you like this. If you hadn't stolen my things, this wouldn't have happened. You asked for it. I'll loosen your bonds tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiaogang no longer had any complaints. He just kept begging me for forgiveness.
If I don't forgive you, let's just say it again. If the palm print is found, it's easy to say. If you can't find it, then just leave it to fate!
