Hearing Mr. He's words, both Mrs. He and He Wenlin felt a little guilty.
“Who would know you?” Mrs. He was still stubborn. “If you hadn’t behaved badly in the past, would we think this way? If you ask me, you still need to reflect on yourself and make the whole family worry.”
Father He: "..."
He Wenlin quickly tried to appease him: "Dad, I was just angry. How could I take what I said in anger seriously? Dad, you're amazing, I'm so proud of you! Let bygones be bygones. Making our lives better is more important than anything else. The food factory is doing well lately. Once the supermarket's payment comes in after the New Year, we'll buy a car for you to drive. Do you want a Mercedes or a BMW? I'll put it in your name and give it to you."
Mr. He rolled his eyes at her: "Hmph, don't give me that!"
Aunt He: "What's wrong? You don't want it?"
He Wenlin: "Mom, you should also take some time to get your driver's license. I'll buy you one later."
Mrs. He: "Why buy so much? It's better to pay off the loan as soon as possible. That's better than anything else."
Loans are like a heavy stone weighing on everyone's hearts.
He Wenlin didn't take it seriously.
Liao Jianhai quickly took them home.
Because it was too late, Liao Jianhai was not kept.
When Grandma He and the others received the call that they were coming back, they waited anxiously at their doorstep.
"Where are you hurt?" Grandma He excitedly ran over. "Let me see."
"Mom, I'm fine, just a minor injury."
"Nothing wrong? If nothing wrong, why didn't you come back? Why don't you just die out there? You're such a grown man, and you're not learning anything good, you're getting more and more outrageous! I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
Grandma He suddenly changed her anxious and concerned demeanor. Somehow, she had a broom in her hand and started swinging it at Grandpa He.
Mr. He turned and ran away, saying, "Mom, can't we talk this out?"
He's mother and He Wenlin quickly pulled He's mother back.
He Wenlin said softly, "Grandma, don't get upset. Let's go back inside and talk."
Aunt He also whispered, "Mom, things aren't as we think. Let's go back inside and talk."
Now that the younger children are also in the family, He Wenlin is worried that her father's undercover work will be kept a secret, as they might gossip and cause trouble for the family.
Aunt He also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she sent the children to bed.
Then they all went back to He's parents' master bedroom. As soon as the door closed, He Wenlin lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, my dad didn't go gambling. He went to cooperate with the police in solving a case. Officer Liao Jianhai, who called tonight, is my dad's contact person."
Previously, I suspected that those people were after my dad, and I was worried, so I specifically asked Boss Ge of Da Ge Beverage Company to introduce me to Liao Jianhai. I gave him several thousand yuan and asked him to help investigate those people to find out if they were after my dad..."
He Wenlin then recounted what Liao Jianhai had said truthfully.
Grandma He was stunned and looked at Grandpa He: "So, we misunderstood."
He's father said in a cheeky tone, "Of course! Mom, your son has suffered a lot this time. Even the most hard-working person couldn't have endured such hardship."
Grandma He: "Why can't I believe it?"
Mr. He looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Mom, don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Grandma He shook her head: "That's why I don't believe it, even though I know it clearly."
Father He: "..."
He Wenlin smiled and said, "Grandma, this is definitely true. Although my dad... he still has a sense of justice. Besides, if we don't believe him, we should believe the police, right?"
"That's true." Old Mrs. He nodded. "Were those people really after our house?"
“I asked Officer Liao, and he said we’ll know after the interrogation,” He Wenlin said.
“They must be after me,” Mr. He said. “At the very least, I was one of their targets. I played cards with them for two days and I could tell they were trying to coax me into playing cards, and if I lost, they would try to get me to take out a loan.”
"Then you didn't take out a loan, did you?" Mrs. He and Mrs. He asked hurriedly.
The moment they heard about the loan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on high alert.
"This kind of loan doesn't count anyway. Besides, what was my identity when I went there? I was an undercover agent!"
"Hey, keep your voice down!" Aunt He was frantic. "Do you want the children to know? What if they come looking for revenge if word gets out? Don't you dare show this off in public!"
"Alright, alright, I got it," said Mr. He.
Grandma He: "Let's talk about the loan as soon as possible."
Mr. He said, "I won at first, but then I lost. The money I lost that time was all paid for by Officer Liao. Later, you confiscated my motorcycle and phone, right? So I went back to them, and they said there was a place where you could play for even bigger stakes!"
I told them I had no money, but they probably didn't believe me. They might have thought that if I lost, or if I borrowed money, they would have a way to collect the debt!
Then Tang Wei and Ye Jun took me to an underground casino, and damn, the stakes there were really high!
This has truly opened my eyes! It's full of wealthy people, many of whom are beneficiaries of land expropriation.
"Perhaps knowing that our store is here, and also knowing that we have a large turnover, and wanting to make even bigger moves, Tang Wei first gave me 50,000 chips to play as I pleased..."
Grandma He and Mother He gasped and said in unison, "Mom, fifty thousand is just for fun?"
"Of course! It's full of rich people. Nobody can get in without some kind of fortune. Fifty thousand yuan is an astronomical sum for us, but it's nothing to the rich. I heard that one of the bosses lost nineteen thousand yuan the night before!"
Mr. He was really scared at the time.
Nineteen thousand!
