Song Xingzhi subconsciously retorted: "No way? My people have been keeping an eye on him!"
"But we can't keep an eye on him all the time, right?" Zhang Chunxue thought more deeply. "Once he's completely hooked, he'll be capable of anything."
Song Xingzhi's brows suddenly furrowed.
He felt that what his sister Haruyuki said made sense.
What's more, his sister Chunxue is Zhong Chengren's biological mother, and of course she knows Zhong Chengren better than anyone else.
He spoke again in a deep voice: "I'll go check on the situation tomorrow."
After the two of them finished talking about this matter, they went to see Song Yanshen again and made sure that he had no other problems. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The next morning, when Zhang Chunxue woke up, she went to see Song Yanshen first.
Although Song Yanshen had symptoms of a mild concussion, he felt much better after a good night's sleep. However, Zhang Chunxue still didn't let him get up. He just had to lie down and not move too much.
Song Yanshen obeyed Zhang Chunxue's words, so Zhang Chunxue fed him breakfast in his room again.
He quite enjoyed this warm moment.
After all, he had never had such an experience in his memory.
Zhou Mingli was a little worried: "Mom, if you don't go to the stall today, what will happen when Xiaoxiao comes back?"
Today is Saturday and Zhong Xiaoxiao is going to have a day off.
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but poke her forehead. "How could Xiaoxiao not know she was back? She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and couldn't see us, so she naturally knew to take the bus back."
She touched her head again: "You, just worry too much!"
Zhou Mingli thought about it and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
After breakfast, Song Xingzhi went to the brigade headquarters immediately.
As soon as he arrived, the few people he arranged to monitor Zhong Chengren arrived.
Their expressions varied.
There is anxiety, helplessness, anger, and guilt.
One look at their expressions and you could tell they already knew what happened last night.
"What happened last night?" Song Xingzhi's voice was very stern. "Weren't you guys keeping an eye on Zhong Chengren the whole time? How did you let him go and cause trouble?"
Li Da Kui, the leader, couldn't help but scratch his head: "Brother Song, this matter... Alas! This is my fault!"
"The day before yesterday, we saw him leaving Zhang Ergou's house and followed him. But he was taken away by Liu Meng's men..."
"Liu Meng?" Song Xingzhi frowned. "Is he the other guy who runs an underground casino? The one where Zhong Chengren used to gamble?"
Li Dagui nodded: "Yes, he was hugged by someone around the neck, saying that they hadn't seen him for a long time and asked him to go to his place tonight to play..."
"We followed him, but it wasn't a good idea for everyone to follow, so we asked Dongzi to go in and gamble with us, and asked him to keep an eye on Zhong Chengren, while we waited outside..."
At this time, the man named Dongzi immediately took over the conversation: "I was a little late when I came in, so I wasn't at the same table with Zhong Chengren, but I gambled with him all night and then switched to Da Liu."
Big Liu quickly chimed in, "Yesterday I was at Liu Meng's place. Zhong Chengren stayed up all night and gambled all morning. But Liu Meng actually called him over for lunch."
"They were in the next room, so I couldn't follow them...but Zhong Chengren seemed a little uneasy that afternoon."
"Later, we continued gambling until after seven o'clock. Liu Meng went to ask Zhong Chengren to go to dinner, and I kept waiting. But when he didn't come back until almost nine o'clock, I thought something was wrong, so I immediately made an excuse to leave..."
"I went out and told Brother Da Kui, and then we split up to look for Zhong Chengren, but we still couldn't find him..."
Li Dagui continued, "Later, I arranged for people to guard Zhong Chengren's house and Zhang Ergou's house, but Zhong Chengren didn't come back. Then I saw the police rushing to Zhong Chengren's house. I overheard and realized that Zhong Chengren had gone to block Zhou Mingli."
Song Xingzhi didn't frown: "It seems that this matter might be related to Liu Meng... What happened next?"
"Yesterday we had someone investigate and found out that Zhong Chengren had borrowed 400 yuan from Liu Meng, a loan shark. Liu Meng was forcing him to pay it back, threatening to chop off one of his legs if he didn't... So I think Zhong Chengren probably went to rob the money because of this!"
Song Xingzhi's frown didn't get any tighter.
Li Dagui's speculation is theoretically reasonable.
Zhong Chengren borrowed about 500 yuan from them and lost it all, but Li Dagui kept luring him and prevented him from completely despair. However, he didn't expect that Zhong Chengren actually accepted a loan of 400 yuan at high interest from Liu Meng!
He couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.
Sure enough, he overestimated the gambler.
This thing can really destroy your family in minutes once you get stuck in it.
But Song Xingzhi quickly thought of someone else: "What about Meng Wanshu? How would she react when the police went to her house?"
Speaking of Meng Wanshu, Li Dagui became excited.
"She was still dazed when the police showed up! She said Zhong Chengren hadn't been home for almost a week and she didn't know where he had gone."
"She even covered for Zhong Chengren at that time, saying she knew nothing."
"Guess what happened, Brother Song?"
Song Xingzhi narrowed his eyes: "Hmm?"
Li Da Kui chuckled, not wanting to keep the secret any longer. "Meng Wanshu was distraught when she heard that Zhong Chengren had snatched the money and ran away. She went back to her room to look through her cash box, but she found there was not a penny in it, and she didn't know when her gold bracelet had been replaced with a copper one. She almost fainted at that moment."
"Brother Song, you don't know. She was cursing and crying loudly at that time, and immediately told the police about Zhong Chengren's gambling."
Song Xingzhi didn't really care what happened to Meng Wanshu, but he thought his sister Chunxue must like to hear this gossip, so he asked about it.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Clear that gambling den of yours, and don't touch these things again!"
"I think the police will definitely have to clean up these underground places!"
His expression was serious. "The most important thing is, seeing what Zhong Chengren has done, you should know how harmful gambling is! So, absolutely don't touch it again!"
"yes!"
He waved his hand to let them all go, but Song Xingzhi's brows were still furrowed.
He knew how Zhong Chengren escaped from his men's surveillance, but where did Zhong Chengren go now?
Meng Wanshu was now sitting in the office of the grain and oil station, as if she had lost her soul.
She almost couldn't get up today because she didn't sleep last night.
Zhong Chengren! How dare he!
How dare he steal her money!
