Disgusted

She shed tears, but there were only three or two, and she immediately wiped them away with her finger.No hiding, no explaining.

Heh... This is one of the reasons why she likes Saori - when facing feelings, she always looks directly at her head, never bows her head or looks away.

"NeverSayNever," Aozora said softly, the smile still on his face.An oath is just an oath.However, she is willing to believe that she is wholehearted at the moment when she says this.Perhaps for this wholeheartedly, it should be content.

Saori still looked at her with gentle eyes and brows.After a while, I got up and started to clear the dishes on the table.

"I'm not leaving tonight," Saori said. "You go take a shower first. We'll talk later."

Qingkong nodded, finally let go of the knife and fork that had been held in his hand, stared at Saori and took all the cups and saucers to the kitchen before getting up, and went back to the master bedroom to get clothes for a bath.

When she came out of the bathroom, Saori had packed up, changed into home clothes and sat at the table.There was a newly opened bottle of Irish whiskey and a wide-mouth glass on the dining table. There was amber about two fingers high and a large piece of ice in the glass. Saori pinched the mouth of the glass with three fingers and sipped slowly.Contrary to her appearance, Saori has a physique that can drink very much, and her face does not change. No matter how much alcohol her stomach disappears into a black hole, there is no trace left.It's just that she likes more mellow wines, and only drinks strong alcohol when necessary.

So, is now the "necessary time"?

Qingkong stood in front of the bathroom door and looked at Saori who was in deep thought for a while, hung up the towel, first went to the kitchen to make a whole pot of black coffee with Sumatra coffee beans, and then sat next to Saori with her own white porcelain cup .If it is such a necessary time, she hopes that she can stay awake.

"I just said that I met my ex-husband in the evening." Qing Kong took a sip of the bitter and strong coffee, with a "ready" expression on his face.

Yarn nodded.But he didn't answer, and looked around the room as if he wanted to sort out some order, and finally fell on the wide-mouth cup in his hand, shaking it, the ice cubes in the cup rippling in the amber color, knocking Louder than expected crisp sound on glass.

"It was my sister-in-law who called that night." Saori said, her voice slightly lower than usual. "It's said that my brother couldn't be contacted all day long. He was not at home or back to the company, and the secretary couldn't tell him his whereabouts. We couldn't contact him with any communication tools such as WeChat and WeChat. At night, my sister-in-law suddenly received a strange call.

The other end of the phone claimed that he was entrusted by the creditor to come to collect the owed money - since 1000 years ago, my brother has owed the casino more than 400 and [-] million in usury, deducting the mortgaged factory buildings, machines, houses, and several documents that are about to be collected. Due to the long-term company contract, he still owes more than [-] million in cash, and if he fails to pay it back within ten days, he has no choice but to file a lawsuit with the court. "

When Saori said this, she fell into a deep and wide pause, and only slowly turned the cup in her hand, taking a sip from time to time.There was silence all around.

As for the disappearance of Saori's elder brother in debt, Qingkong knew about it from Xiaoyu, but he didn't know that it was because of gambling, so he froze for a while, and heard Saori speak again after a while.

"When did it start? I've been thinking about it for the past few days. My brother doesn't drink or smoke, doesn't even go to entertainment venues, and doesn't have any bad habits. When, what happened one or three years later, let him Crossing a line, walking farther and farther under the eyes of me and our family, until I fell off a cliff and was not found? I think about this question every time I have time recently, but I can’t find the answer.”

Saying that, Saori drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, and poured another half of the glass steadily.

"In any case, after receiving that kind of phone call, my sister-in-law can no longer comfort her that her brother's disappearance is just a distraction or that she can't be contacted for a while. My dad has always had high blood pressure, and I dare not let him know for the time being, so I have to call me. Go When I arrived at my brother’s house, I called back the debt collector and asked to meet the next day to check the loan agreement signed by my brother and the original copy of the mortgaged land deed; at the same time, I contacted the company’s finance and brought over the financial statements of the last five years overnight...you guessed it? What's the matter?"

Saori asked, but did not look at the blue sky. "Well, even the treasurer has disappeared and can't be found."

Looking at Saori's pale and haggard face, Qingkong felt as if there was a mouthful of sand in his mouth, which was dry and astringent.After a long time, I asked, "Did you call the police?"

"Yeah. I went the next day. But the police station said that adults under 48 hours cannot be counted as missing persons. Wait until the third day to go, and the file was established, but the two showed no signs of being violated. He didn't bring a lot of property with him, so it was just filing a case, and there was no police force to search. If it was treated as a fraud case, two people would be specially assigned to take the statement." Saori said with a mocking smile.

"There was no news of my brother, but the debt collector came to the door on time. The loan agreement provided was indeed signed by my brother. As for the land deed, although it was only a copy, the information was correct. The other party said that the last two borrowings I reluctantly agreed because of the relationship with my ex-husband’s family. If I can’t repay the money within the time limit, although I’m afraid of trouble, I have no choice but to ask the court to freeze the assets and liquidate the money to recover the debt.”

"As far as I know, domestic gambling is illegal, so gambling debts should not be covered by the law?"

Yarn shook her head. "I asked the legal advisor that the loan agreement signed by my brother did not specify the reason for the loan, nor could it prove that the creditor was involved in gambling activities. Even if it was, because the signing took place in Macau, it would normally be handled in accordance with the laws of Macau , we have no chance of winning in court.”

Macao.Aoki closed his eyes. "Even under the laws of Macau, if the interest rate is too high for a usury loan, at least the interest part can be exempted from repayment."

"I have read the agreement. The interest is within a reasonable range. Moreover," Saori shook her head again, "the problem is not only with these gambling debts. I checked the financial statements for the past five years, the reserve fund for purchases, and the flow of normal operations The amount of funds that should be invested in charity has been misappropriated in various names in the past two years, and has been barely supported by asking wholesalers to pay in advance. Now that the chain of funds is broken, they will not even be able to pay the wages of workers next month. By then Orders that cannot be completed on time will be compensated according to the agreement.”

After hearing this, Qing Kong only felt his scalp go numb, and for a moment he could only close his mouth tightly and fall into deep thought.

After saying this, Saori gulped down the whiskey as if she was thirsty, then took a deep breath as if to adjust her mood, and straightened her back. "In short, I have no time to care about my brother's whereabouts or safety. My parents have to let them know the general situation. I have been busy until this afternoon. I received a call from my ex-husband. He said that he heard some rumors and wanted to talk to him first. Let me confirm it, and I told him the truth, and I really had the idea that this person could help me."

Saori paused here, with her beautiful fingers resting next to the wide-mouthed cup that was emptied again, clasped and then let go.

"And he did make a suggestion."

The author has something to say: a chapter that was written slowly and laboriously... So unconsciously, I stayed up all night again. =_=

I went to the cinema to watch "The Revenant" at night. At first I thought it was a Hemingway style, a struggle between man and nature to survive, but later I found out that it was a story of revenge, mixed with good and evil, faith, life and death.I think the English name is more appropriate. PS Girl sitting next door, can you make some more pictures of the narrator?Boyfriend of the girl next door, are you sure you can stand a girlfriend who keeps saying "I'm a scorpion" and points at a moose and says "a deer" and a bear and says "a bear" in a movie theater?
