Chen Yong hopes to find that person, but at the same time, he is also afraid of actually meeting that person.
He had two completely different complex emotions towards that person at the same time.
Maybe some things are already doomed, maybe God likes to make fun of the world, and people say whatever they fear will come to them. When Chen Yong walked into the casino one day and saw the middle-aged man again, he was completely confused on the spot.
Found him!
I actually saw him!
That person also saw Chen Yong, with a sly smile on his lips, and walked over to say hello.
The middle-aged man patted Chen Yong on the shoulder and said: "Brother Yong, I heard that you have been doing well recently. My money is tight, please see if you can give me some help. I will be very grateful."
The middle-aged man approached him as if there was no one around, making people think that the two of them were good friends who had known each other for a long time.
But the middle-aged man came up and whispered to Chen Yong in a voice that only two people could hear: "I didn't expect you to be so cruel. In order to cover up your mistakes, you would not hesitate to kill your own master. I heard that I was very frightened when I heard the news.”
"No……"
Chen Yong violently pushed the middle-aged man away, shook his head slightly, gritted his teeth and ran out.
The middle-aged man shouted loudly from behind: "Brother Yong, no need for more, just five hundred taels is enough. Brother, I will remember your kindness."
Turning around, he smiled at the gamblers and said, "Brother Yong is really eager for justice. When he heard that I was in trouble, he helped me without even thinking about it. He was so kind to me that I had no choice but to accompany him to get there tomorrow." Come again."
No one was aware of him, and everyone seemed to be quite familiar with this person. They all nodded and said, "It's easy to talk. I'll come back after Brother Yong brings the money to you."
The middle-aged man walked away from the casino, twitched his chin and thought for a while, then walked directly to the pawn shop.
He was not sure about some things at first, and it was a huge risk for him to show up to see Chen Yong this time. But it seemed that he won the bet, and things were as he had guessed, or as they should have been. Said that things were just as he hoped.
In this way, he no longer has to tie his hands and feet.
Not only that, you can also seek greater wealth.
In the pawn shop, Chen Yong looked a little confused. Seeing that he seemed to have something to do, the shopkeeper asked a few questions, but Chen Yong couldn't say anything. He just laughed and gave him an excuse that he didn't have enough rest.
The middle-aged man's last words echoed in his ears, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What would be just five hundred taels? Where can I find five hundred taels for you?"
Before seeing this middle-aged man, Chen Yong still had the desire to avenge his master, but when he actually saw him, he no longer had the courage. He was only afraid of the middle-aged man, especially when the middle-aged man had just treated him so well. The words he whispered hit the panic in his heart even more.
"Absolutely not..."
In the midst of his anger, he suddenly saw a person walking in. Chen Yong felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and his heart was filled with a haze. The haze seemed to be the figure of the person coming.
"What are you doing here!?"
He took two hurried steps and glared at the middle-aged man fiercely. In this pawn shop, he was on his territory, which made him much bolder.
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Yong's behavior and said strangely: "Master Chen, what are you doing?"
He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the middle-aged man politely: "Hello, guest, I'm sorry, our Master Chen didn't have a good rest today. Do you want to pledge or redeem?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm an old friend of your Master Chen. I happened to be passing by, so I came over to have a look at him. Don't you think so? Master Chen!"
Chen Yong had a sullen face, saying yes or no or no. He pulled the middle-aged man over and said, "Follow me."
The middle-aged man was pulled for a few steps. When he was a few steps away from the shopkeeper, he shook off Chen Yong's hand and said, "Where do you want to drag me? I'm a coward and don't want to end up like him." You old masters will suffer the same fate."
Chen Yong panicked slightly, looked around, and lowered his voice: "I didn't kill him."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Whether you kill him or not is your business. It's up to you to say what you like, but believe it or not is up to me."
The middle-aged man suddenly approached and said with a faint smile: "Of course, even if I believe you, I just don't know if others will believe it or not. What do you think?"
A trace of panic flashed in Chen Yong's eyes, and he said, "You want to go out?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Yong gained some confidence and said: "Don't forget, you came to pawn a fake thing. You are also at fault. If you really want to say it out, you won't be able to get away with it."
The middle-aged man said sarcastically: "A pawnbroker is wrong. He doesn't blame himself for his lack of ability, but instead puts the blame on others. You really have the backbone. Even if what you say makes sense, I may compensate you." Or run away, and my matter will be over, but what about you? A life is going to fall on you, and it is not just as simple as being ruined. I don't think how can you escape? "
The middle-aged man sneered, turned around and left.
Chen Yong was startled, and quickly grabbed him, compromising: "I can't afford five hundred taels now."
The middle-aged man looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "How much can you take out?"
Chen Yong hesitated for a moment and said: "I can only come up with two hundred taels at most now..."
"Three hundred taels, I want it tomorrow."
"I……"
"If not, just find a way. Aren't you the master of the pawn shop?"
Chen Yong was stunned on the spot. The middle-aged man had already walked away.
The shopkeeper came forward and asked curiously: "Master Chen, who is this person?"
Chen Yong shook his head and said, "No... nothing happened?"
The answer was wrong, the shopkeeper frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
This shopkeeper has known the old master for a long time. He is very clear about the old master's abilities and admires him as a person. After working together, of course he knows something about the apprentice that the old master accepted.
The old master was killed and passed away. Although the shopkeeper now works with his apprentice Chen Yong, he did not fully accept the reasons given by Chen Yong after he came back.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he always felt that there was something wrong. However, he was just a shopkeeper in this pawn shop, and he couldn't decide on some things, so he secretly contacted the owner.
In order to prevent the tragedy like the old master from happening again, the owner has been secretly arranging some safety measures for the pawnshop. At this time, he received a message from the shopkeeper and did not dare to be careless, so he made secret arrangements.
It's just that things are still unclear. Neither the shopkeeper nor the owner knows what happened, let alone what Chen Yong will do. All they can do is add a layer of defense.
When they realized that Chen Yong had falsely reported the amount when collecting the pawned items, and also spent part of the money from the pawn shop, they immediately realized that something was wrong, so they fished for a long time until Chen Yong and the middle-aged man met. When the man met, he captured the two of them in one fell swoop.
This was completely unexpected. The middle-aged man had always thought that Chen Yong was cowardly and would not dare to expose the matter in order to protect himself. In fact, he was not wrong. Chen Yong was firmly under his control. But he didn't expect the pawnshop to take a series of actions behind the scenes.
Once arrested, the middle-aged man could only confess, and at the same time said that Chen Yong had killed his old master.
It is only now that what happened in the past has become clear. All the doubts have disappeared and the truth has been revealed.
What is unexpected is that despite all the precautions, it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves. What is even more unbelievable is that the person who killed the old master turned out to be the apprentice raised by the old master.
Chen Yong burst into tears and begged for mercy while defending: "No... no... I didn't kill my master, I just stole the money from the pawn shop. He was still alive when I ran away! He is still alive! His death None of my business……"
Snapped! !
The shopkeeper angrily slapped Chen Yong in the face and cursed: "You heartless brat, your master was pissed to death by you!"
Chen Yong's heart was empty, thinking that everything was over.
