Until Dong Qiangqiang put everyone on the plane the next evening, Lao Chen didn't contact him, which seemed to be testing his patience.
And Duanmu didn't contact him for some reason.
Dong Qiangqiang did not dare to delay and rushed back to Hannover immediately after returning the car.
Tong Lele and others were very efficient and transferred the money to Dong Qiangqiang's account promptly. Even Lei Lanting did not miss the chance and lent the money to Dong Qiangqiang exactly.
Dong Qiangqiang handed everyone's IOUs to Tong Lele, and after a few words of entrustment, he took a change of clothes and took the train straight to Munich.
Before leaving home, he checked his company account and found that there was almost 50,000 marks in the account. He was determined to withdraw all the money at once, but he suddenly received a call from the Hannover Tax Bureau, reminding him that he, who was in his first year of starting a company, would start preparing for this year's financial audit at the end of December. Since he has previously failed to declare taxes, he must avoid committing the second offense, otherwise his business license may be revoked by the Industry and Commerce Bureau. It seemed that if he wanted to embezzle the money, he would have to make up a good reason. Dong Qiangqiang called Du Lan while thinking about it.
Du Lan has been urging Dong Qiangqiang to call the police as soon as possible for the past two days. Dong Qiangqiang called Hualin twice more, but Hualin was unwilling to do so. To avoid a long night of nightmares, Dong Qiangqiang called the police at the Munich police station.
The police required the reporter to go to the police station to record a statement in person, but Dong Qiangqiang was still on the train when he reported the crime, so he had to entrust Du Lan to go to the police station first, and he would arrive soon after.
By the time he and Du Lan walked out of the Munich police station after recording their confessions, it was already past nine o'clock at night. The result of calling the police was just as Dong Qiangqiang had expected. The police did not say anything to them to reassure them, they just said We will start collecting relevant evidence and investigating suspects while registering the case, and the investigation work may last for a long time. Before leaving, the police specifically warned Dong Qiangqiang that once Lao Chen contacted him again, he must inform the police as soon as possible about the contents of his conversation with the other party.
There were far fewer people on the street than in the evening. Although many shops had already closed, their windows were brightly lit, making them look dazzling and feasting, which was really beautiful.
The two of them walked aimlessly on the street. Although they called the police, their mood became heavier than before. Dong Qiangqiang looked at the lights in the window and said, "This store is closed and you still turn on so many lights. It wastes electricity and is not environmentally friendly. Don't Germans advocate environmental protection? I don't know what they think."
"The main reason for turning on the lights after the store is closed is to prevent theft, so that when the patrol officers pass by the store, they can clearly see the situation inside the store. If thieves are afraid of this, they will give up the theft." After explaining, Du Lan suddenly pointed at the corner of the street. The ice cream shop said coquettishly, "Please give me an ice cream."
"Oh, good." Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly ran over and bought two vanilla ice creams, "Thank you for your hard work today."
"You still remember what the police said just now, right?" Du Lan carefully took a bite of the ice cream. The ice cream went directly into his stomach along the esophagus, and he felt cold in his stomach. "He asked us to prepare some money first."
"Yes, remember. We have almost 650,000 in hand now."
"Where's Hualin?" Du Lan took another bite of the ice cream, "How much does she plan to pay?"
This question was the most puzzling and difficult for Dong Qiangqiang. After a long while, he whispered: "She said...she has no money."
Du Lan snorted from his nose: "Didn't you say that Lao Bai just bought her a house?"
"Yes, but she said that she went to the real estate agency to ask, and they said that there were two people's names written on the house book, and now she can't sell the house with just her signature."
"Then have you seen her house book?" Du Lan was very angry, and in the blink of an eye there was only one cone left in the cold ice cream.
"Lao Bai bought the house after his marriage. I was in Hanover at that time. What do you think?" Dong Qiangqiang asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by asking like that? Do you doubt..."
"Let's go find Hualing now!" Du Lan suddenly turned around and walked towards the station. After walking for two steps, he didn't hear Dong Qiangqiang's footsteps. When he turned around, Dong Qiangqiang was still standing there, staring at him blankly, " What are you doing?"
"It's not appropriate for us to go to her house so late." Dong Qiangqiang looked at Du Lan's behavior as if he was quarreling, and was worried that she would quarrel with Hualing if she disagreed. "Even if you have something to say, you'd better talk about it during the day tomorrow. Today Forget it’s late.”
"Don't you want to see Hualing?" Du Lan asked sharply, "Are you afraid that she will cry or that she will cry about poverty?"
"I'm afraid." Dong Qiangqiang said frankly, "Du Lan, it's too late, let's go back first."
Du Lan sneered, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Du Lan!" Dong Qiangqiang was about to give chase when he suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted from behind her, "Where's your car?"
Before Du Lan could speak, Dong Qiangqiang's cell phone rang at an inappropriate time. Dong Qiangqiang took out his cell phone in embarrassment, only to find that it was Duanmu who he had never contacted.
He could only quickly follow Du Lan onto the city rail.
Dong Qiangqiang thought that after he told Duanmu the ins and outs of the matter, Duanmu would donate generously like others, but the other party fell silent.
Du Lan sat opposite Dong Qiangqiang, looking intently at the glittering lights on the street, seemingly not caring about his words at all.
Dong Qiangqiang, who mistakenly thought that he had not made it clear, was about to emphasize again that the money was not given to Lao Bai by Duanmu but lent to him, when Duanmu suddenly said: "Old Dong, I am sorry to hear this news, but if you ask me, Although your girlfriend is also involved in this matter, you should not get involved, it is none of your business."
"Should you interfere or not, I have already come in." Dong Qiangqiang said with a bitter smile, "I know it may be useless even if I try hard, but this matter involves human life, I can't just ignore it, right?"
"5,000 marks, the most I can lend you is 5,000." Duanmu said decisively, "If it weren't for the fact that you often helped me before, I wouldn't have lent you a penny."
"But 5,000 yuan is only 20,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket..." Dong Qiangqiang's voice was hoarse.
"Let me put it bluntly, if it was you, Dong Qiangqiang, who ran into trouble, I would definitely help you, let alone five thousand marks. I would be fine with fifty thousand marks or even more. But if it's someone else, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with it. , can’t help.”
Duanmu was originally the person Dong Qiangqiang had the highest expectations for, but now the other party clearly told him that he had no money, but he had nothing to say.
The attitudes of Duanmu and Hualing made Dong Qiangqiang feel helpless. For the first time, he realized that he was too naive.
