"Why are you all still standing there? Get this crazy girl out of here right now." The pawnshop lady covered her red neck with her hands and spoke in a commanding tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Ge and his men were about to advance fiercely. Cheng Haoyu immediately protected Huang Lei and Zheng Xinyi behind him: "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the police protecting you? I'm going to submit an application to the higher-ups right now."
Brother Dong knew that Cheng Haoyu was a good person. The bruise on his face from the last time he hit him was still swollen. The brothers stopped where they were, looking at each other, and no one was willing to take the initiative to step forward.
The pawnshop lady cast a sharp gaze at him. She knew that he came from the army and had the ability. She crossed her arms over her chest and smiled slightly: "Zheng Xinyi, is Zhou Shui an employee of yours?"
Zheng Xinyi and Huang Lei, who was holding her, looked at each other and nodded calmly: "He's my employee, what's wrong?"
"He owes my husband a lot of money because of drug abuse. He has no money to pay off the debt, so he mortgaged your house." The pawnshop lady said word by word.
"What?" Zheng Xinyi's eyes widened in disbelief. She could never have imagined Zhou Shui would do such a thing. "I want to see Zhou Shui."
The pawnshop lady rolled her eyes at her, but finally agreed: "Come with me!"
Under the escort of Cheng Haoyu and Huang Lei, they followed Dong Ge to the casino. It was in chaos inside, and everyone was immersed in the joy of gambling. Some wanted to get back some money because they lost, while some had been addicted to it for a long time. Some lost everything, but still did not give up.
As a soldier, Cheng Haoyu felt heartbroken when he saw the scenes before him.
After walking for a while and entering several doors, I finally had some peace and quiet. The pawnshop lady pointed to the door in front of me and said, "He's inside. Go in by yourselves!"
Cheng Haoyu took Zheng Xinyi's hand as she was about to push the door open, stood in front of her, and pushed the door open himself. The scene inside shocked the three of them completely. Zhou Shui was curled up on the kang, holding opium in his hand, smoking it like a god, and had become a completely decadent person.
Zheng Xinyi felt sad. She stepped inside and called out softly, "Zhou Shui."
Hearing the call, Zhou Shui subconsciously opened his eyes. He was stunned at the time and quickly stood up: "Why are you here?"
I haven't seen him for just a few days. He has lost a lot of weight, his hair is messy, his beard has grown, and his eye circles are dark. He looks particularly decadent. I still remember when I first met him, he was such a handsome young man, and he was so chivalrous and brave to fight for justice. How come he has become like this now?
Zheng Xinyi's tears suddenly flowed down her face. "Zhou Shui, let me ask you, the pawnshop lady said that you stole my house deed and land deeds in order to take drugs. Is that true?"
He didn't dare look directly into Zheng Xinyi's eyes. It felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. He knelt down at Zheng Xinyi's feet with a thud, shedding tears of regret: "Xinyi, I'm sorry."
Zheng Xinyi opened her mouth slightly, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. With a snap, a loud slap landed on his face: "Zhou Shui, you really disappoint me."
"I heard from Xinyi that you were once a soldier. I feel ashamed for you." Cheng Haoyu was already extremely angry and pointed at his chest.
