Chapter 198 The Past in Old Gao's Heart

Listening to the bald man, my heart began to sink a little. Is there really no hope?

At this moment, Old Gao also shouted to me, "Xing Yun, don't worry about it." Then he yelled at the man with the knife, "Do it!"

My eyes could not help but look towards the man holding the knife. At this moment, the knife in his hand was filled with a frightening cold. I looked at my brother who was pressed on the table and couldn't move, and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

My shout was loud and clear in the quiet room. Everyone looked at me. I gritted my teeth and said, "Big brother, since you don't want the 400,000, you insist on one finger, right? Well, cut me off, let my brother go!"

"You fucking idiot!"

Old Gao yelled at me, his voice turning hoarse.

The bald-headed man was also slightly stunned, then the coldness on his face receded, and he said to me with some appreciation, "Oh, I didn't expect such a righteous person in reality. Not bad, have the courage!"

Then the bald man said to the man with the knife, "Okay, then listen to him and cut him."

"Damn, who dares to touch my brother!"

Suddenly, Old Gao was like a madman. The two of them wrapped Old Gao tightly. The bald man asked the man with the knife to pass the knife to him. Then he shook the knife in his hand and said, "Okay, put out his hand!"

"Old zhou, if you dare to touch my brother, I want your life!" Old Gao roared hysterically again.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the man with the knife punched Old Gao in the stomach. Old Gao's face turned red, veins on his forehead swelled, and he was in pain.

"This is your brother's request, not mine. If you want to blame someone else, you have to blame yourself." The bald-headed man said to Old Gao and looked at me, smiling, "Put your hand out."

My hands trembled subconsciously, and I couldn't help but feel a little scared when I thought of the pain that connected my fingers to my heart. But I gritted my teeth and put my hand on the table.

"Chop it!"

After that, I stopped looking at my hands and turned my head away. My heart was instantly intertwined, and all the hairs on my body started to rise, as if a bolt of lightning had struck me.

I am extremely tense!

However, there was no pain I expected. I could not help but look at the bald-headed man in confusion, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, handed the knife to his men, and said to me: "Forget it, keep your fingers. Twenty-four hours. You said that yourself, didn't you?"

When I heard that my whole body was relaxed, it meant that the bald man agreed to my request, and I nodded at him.

"Okay! Then I'll give you 24 hours! When the time comes, if I don't have the money, I'll take Old Gao's finger. I'll smash this restaurant too! Do you understand?" The bald man handed me a business card and said, "Call me when you have the money. If you can't raise it, don't call me."

Then the bald man smiled coldly again.

I nodded.

The bald man suddenly looked at me curiously and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

I nodded and smiled, "Of course!"

"Then you..." The bald man paused, then smiled and said, "I thought you weren't a real person at all. I didn't expect to see one today."

After that, the bald leader led his men downstairs.

Old Gao looked at me, tears streaming down his face. He gritted his teeth and said to me with a lisp, "Are you stupid?"

I looked at Hu Zi and said to him, "Hu Zi, go downstairs and tell my cousin and the others not to be afraid. The restaurant will have a day off tomorrow and let them have a good rest at home. Just tell them that the matter has been settled and let them not worry."

Hu Zi nodded.

Old Gao and I walked out of the room.

It was really too depressing just now, as if she could not breathe. At this moment, she felt all over her body was indescribably tired. Now that she thought about it, she also felt that the scene just now was so dangerous!

Old Gao and I leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.

I rubbed Old Gao's head and said, "The old man is crying!"

Old Gao seemed to blame me and said, "What are you going to pay back at this time tomorrow? What they want today is a finger from me. If we can't get the money tomorrow, our restaurant will be ruined. Do you understand?"

"Then can I be stupid enough to let him cut off one of your fingers?" I couldn't help but roar.

"I did it myself. My sin, I will not bear it!"

"I disagree!"

At this moment, Hu Zi also walked upstairs and said, "What are you two yelling at? You're all gone. What are you yelling at?"

"All right, let's go downstairs and have a drink!"

It's so fucking frustrating. I just want to drink now!

So, the three of us went downstairs, and Hu Zi made a few cold dishes. I brought the white wine and glasses, and filled them up.

I raised my glass and said, "Come on, let's go."

Hu Zi and Old Gao both raised their glasses, but suddenly Old Gao covered his eyes again, as if he had no face to see us.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

I took a deep breath, patted Old Gao on the shoulder, and said, "Old Gao, I believe you have a hard time. Come on, let's drink the wine. Today, pour out all the hard things for the two of us!"

Old Gao calmed down for a while before he raised his glass again and roared, "Dry!"

Our glasses slammed into each other, and the three of them lifted their heads and drank.

I refilled the glass, and the three of them fell silent. Old Gao didn't say anything, and we didn't force him. We just waited for him, and when he was ready, he would speak.

Speaking of which, Old Gao had been in shock for months.

It must have taken a lot of courage to speak suddenly.

It was a long time before Old Gao said, "Wang Mengmeng, he did me such a terrible thing!"

Wang Mengmeng.

Hu Zi and I looked at each other, and it seemed that there was still something about Wang Mengmeng.

Then Old Gao began to tell us about him and Wang Mengmeng.

"During that time, because the family had always disagreed with me and Wang Mengmeng, we had a private discussion and eloped!" Old Gao's eyes glistened with suppressed pain. "So, after we discussed it, we decided to sell the pond. But Wang Mengmeng didn't let me tell anyone, because he was afraid that if someone else knew about us and the elopement couldn't be done, I didn't say anything and secretly sold the pond to Ji Ze. Now that I think about it, by that time, Wang Mengmeng had already made a complete plan."

Old Gao lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling, and he sucked hard, his fingers shaking uncontrollably. He said, "Sell the pond, take the money, and we left Pucheng without anyone noticing, and then we ran far away. At first, we had a great time. The two of us were together all the time. Nothing happened at home. I didn't know anything happened. I'm almost out of touch with everyone, but I'll do whatever wang Mengmeng says, listen to her, whatever she says."

"Then, another day passed. When I woke up, I was the only one left in the room. Wang Mengmeng was missing. Where did he go? I don't know. But she took all her things and all our money. Hehe, am I too stupid? Too stupid? Being cheated by a woman for so long."

Although Hu Zi and I had previously speculated that Old Gao might have been deceived by wang mengmeng, the shock in our hearts was still extremely strong after hearing Old Gao's words personally.

I can't help but think of Wang Mengmeng's appearance in my mind. The first time I met her, I only thought she was an introverted, small, and very simple girl. Who would have thought that she had such an idea!

Speaking of this, Old Gao was on the verge of breaking down. It would be a great challenge for him to recall the past. He held the glass tightly in his hand, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Trembling with his arms, he raised his glass and gave himself a big gulp.

Old Gao's face was full of vicissitudes and downfall, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.

"Why didn't I think of that? I, Old Gao, have talked about so many women, and in the end, I was tricked to this extent by a woman?" Old Gao smiled miserably and said, "Do you think this is retribution?"

None of us answered.

Old Gao smiled foolishly and said, "Actually, he didn't take all the money away and left me a thousand yuan for the journey. She left me a letter, telling me that she had been lying to me all along, so let me give up! Do you know? When I read this letter, my first reaction was disbelief, you know? I think she must have something to hide. How could she not have feelings for me, right? But she just disappeared without a trace. All the contact information is gone. I can't reach her."

"Later, I went back to Moon city. I wanted to find her, but it was impossible. I gave up. I finally figured it out. She took all the money and of course was afraid that I would find her, so she changed all her contact information and even lost all her friends."

Speaking of this, I completely understand. No wonder when we mentioned wang mengmeng, Old Gao was always gnashing his teeth in anger. Now I finally know the reason, but poor Old Gao still wanted to blame Wang Mengmeng for his disappearance, making people think that he had wronged Wang Mengmeng.

At this moment, I feel especially sorry for Old Gao.

No wonder he had changed so much since he came back from Moon city. He had gone through such a terrible betrayal and happened to have such a big change in his family. It was good for him to survive.

"But I was cheated out of money, and I have no face to go back to Pucheng, and I have no face to see you." Old Gao said, "Just when I was in a desperate situation, Xing Yun's mother called me."

I frowned and suddenly remembered the days when I went home to be a teacher. My mother called Old Gao. I talked to Old Gao and asked him when he would be back. He said he would be back soon.

Old Gao added, "Your mother gave me some money, and then I started gambling with it!"
