In addition to the deadbolt lock, there was an extra lock inside the room.
With the key, everything is no longer a problem.
Zhao Kun quickly unlocked the door and soon opened it from the inside out, letting in a sense of freedom.
There was no one outside, and although it was pitch black, a sliver of moonlight could be seen shining in.
But Zhao Kun felt as if he had seen the light of day again.
Leave this place immediately.
We can't delay. If the regional leader wakes up and has him arrested again, that would be disastrous; it wouldn't be something that can be solved by washing his underwear anymore.
Putting someone in a dark room is too lenient a punishment.
When Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua saw Zhao Kun running downstairs, they exchanged a glance and, not daring to linger, immediately chased after him.
As soon as the couple got downstairs, they saw Zhao Kun open the door of a car and get inside.
I thought Zhao Kun would just drive away.
To their surprise, Zhao Kun turned his car around and drove towards them.
"Get in the car."
Zhao Kun urged them on. Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua exchanged a glance and did not refuse. Afraid that the people in the room would catch up, they decisively opened the car door.
A dozen minutes later,
The car moved away from the semi-abandoned building and parked on the side of the road.
They all felt like they had escaped from the jaws of death, that they had finally come out and no longer had to stay in that crowded, dilapidated house, suffering every day.
"Great, we're free."
Wang Xiuhua was excited, and Zhou Dana beside her also had the excitement of surviving a disaster in his eyes. Only those who have lost their freedom know how precious it is.
Zhou Dana is currently experiencing this.
He now feels that the world has become incredibly wonderful.
"We should celebrate and have a good meal. These days have been unbearable."
Zhou Dana said sincerely.
Wang Xiuhua nodded quickly, she thought so too, "I want to eat roast chicken, roast duck, stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers, dumplings, and sauerkraut stewed with pork..."
The couple, oblivious to everyone else, began reciting the names of the dishes.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhao Kun couldn't stand listening to their conversation any longer and suddenly interrupted them coldly, saying, "I don't care what you want to eat, but you have to pay me back."
At this point, Zhao Kun looked at Zhou Dana and said, "You swindled 300,000 yuan from my wife, claiming it was for medical treatment. Whether it was actually for medical treatment or not, I don't need to say more, right? Immediately return the remaining 200,000 yuan to me, and write an IOU for the 100,000 yuan you spent. Otherwise, I will send you to Uncle Hat right now and sue you for fraud. 100,000 yuan is enough for you to be in jail for several years."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the couple's heads.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua fell silent instantly.
Because they knew they couldn't possibly come up with 200,000 yuan now; they had been lying to Zhao Kun before.
"Ahem, son-in-law, you've misunderstood this. We really intended to use that money for medical treatment, but we ran into some trouble along the way and were tricked into coming here. We haven't had a chance to go to the hospital yet."
Zhou Dana forced a smile and made up stories.
Wang Xiuhua immediately cooperated, pretending to cough and speaking weakly, as if she were a completely different person from her previous excitement.
"You're going to act with me, huh? Okay, let's go talk over the hat."
Zhao Kun didn't believe their nonsense at all. He couldn't see any illness in Wang Xiuhua. Wang Xiuhua could eat and drink well and was healthier than anyone else. Zhou Ling, on the other hand, was healthy enough to eat and drink well. She still wanted to fool him? Dream on!
Does he think Zhao Kun is brainless?
Seeing that Zhao Kun was going to the police station, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua immediately chickened out. Although they didn't know the law, they knew that the amount of money they had swindled from Zhou Ling was too much, and if they were investigated, they would really go to jail.
"Son-in-law, let's talk this out. It's not like we're not going to give it to you. We're all family. Stop the car first."
Zhou Dana quickly spoke up.
Zhao Kun slammed on the brakes to prevent the two from suddenly getting out of the car and running away. He immediately unlocked the door and then, looking in the rearview mirror, asked, "Can you give me the money now?"
Zhou Dana, who was secretly holding the car door handle, cursed Zhao Kun inwardly after hearing the door lock open, for being too clever and actually thinking that he would suddenly get out of the car and run away.
“I’ll definitely give you the money, son-in-law. But I don’t think now is the time to talk about this. If you turn on the gas, there are so many people still in the room. Won’t they be poisoned? If someone dies, none of us will escape.”
Zhou Dana didn't mention money, but deliberately changed the subject.
It wasn't that he was kind-hearted, but rather that he was genuinely afraid that if dozens of lives were lost, he would be held responsible.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun frowned. He hadn't considered this point, as he had only thought about using the gas to poison those brainwashed people and then taking the opportunity to get the key and leave. Now that he was free, whether those people would be poisoned to death was indeed not a trivial matter.
Moreover, his phone is still there; if this gets out of hand, the authorities will definitely issue a warrant for his arrest.
Let him go back and check the situation. If everyone is alright, it's like walking into a trap. If you call the police, and someone is really poisoned, you'll become the murderer, which is still walking into a trap.
Zhao Kun suddenly realized that he seemed to have solved a problem, but then he found himself in a dilemma.
“Son-in-law, I think it’s better to call the police and arrest those fraudsters so they can be punished by law.”
Zhou Dana said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
While Zhou Dana appears to be in a position to bring the bad guys to justice, he actually wants to use Uncle Hat's help to get back the money he was cheated out of.
That's over two hundred thousand, no small sum.
Zhao Kun still hadn't figured out exactly what to do.
