Chapter 1549: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Losing all the chips on the table again, Brown's eye circles have been blackened, and his eye sockets are sunken, staring at the dice on the gaming table.
"Come again." The hoarse and withered voice woke Brown up.
Looking up suddenly, he found that only himself and the croupier on the opposite side were left in the room, and everyone else had disappeared.
A strong sense of dizziness hit his brain, and he grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, and Brown's body trembled suddenly.
Drenched in cold sweat, Brown opened his eyes again, as if he had died once.
"Where are the others?" For the first time, Brown realized that his voice could be so ugly.
The croupier smiled and said, "Mr. Brown, the other guests have already left, and the annual meeting is over."
"It's over?" Brown's eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked in disbelief, "But I'm still here."
"We warned you, but you refused to leave and wounded the service staff."
The dealer said cautiously: "Because you are Mr. Li's distinguished guest, I will serve you instead of my previous colleagues."
Brown still felt unbelievable, and said dreamily; "You mean, I stayed here for three days and three nights?"
"Yes." The croupier nodded.
Hearing the other party's words, Brown only felt dizzy again. If his body was not healthy, he might have passed out by now.
The picture that the other party said gradually formed fragments in his mind.
While he was gambling, it seemed that someone stepped forward and said something, and wanted to take him away.
Then...
He punched the opponent's face fiercely with his fist, and threatened the opponent furiously that if he dared to touch himself again, he would kill him with his own hands.
"Damn it." Brown looked at the croupier with a waxy complexion, trying desperately to force a smile, but he couldn't.
Because at this moment, he already had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart.
"So, may I ask how much money I lost?" Brown's heart beat faster than expected, and he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest with the pounding sound of 'dong dong'.
But all of this is not as terrible as what the croupier said.
I saw the other party redistribute the chips on the table in an orderly manner, and said softly: "Dear Mr. Brown, remove the chips on the table, and you have lost a total of 2.01 million."
hum!
The beating heart stopped suddenly, and countless golden halos appeared around his head. Brown's eyelids rolled up, and his body rolled over and landed heavily on the ground.
...
In the apartment, Li Zitao was listening to Ava's report: "His body is fine, but he was weak and hit, and suddenly passed out."
"Have you been discharged from the hospital?" Li Zitao asked with deep eyes, turning the cigar in his mouth.
"Yes." Ava said with a complicated expression: "We will arrange a car to take him home. Now, he should be almost home."
"En." Picking up the document on the table again, Li Zitao opened it casually.
If Brown were here, he would definitely find that among the opened files were all kinds of information files related to him.
Including where he was born, family structure, past performance, small habits in life and personality analysis.
Of course, details of his job, current address, wife and children are also included.
Dister Brown, Lieutenant Commander in the Navy.
Currently working in the Department of Defense Intelligence, he is responsible for the affairs and communication between the Navy and the Department of Defense.
Importantly, issues related to the NRL are also within his purview.
Ava took the file and threw it into the fireplace in front of him.
The flames ran wild, and soon the documents turned into a pile of fly ash, and the air wafted the pungent smell of rubber and plastic.
Ava opened the window, and the cool wind came in, which shook people's spirits.
"Did he say anything?" Li Zitao was curious about Brown's reaction when he woke up.
Ava shook her head and said worriedly; "But his condition looks very bad, doesn't it?"
"Suicide?" Li Zitao sneered and said with a smile, "You think too highly of him."
Brown is a man with abilities.
But there are more shortcomings in him, especially the selfish character, lack of self-control, drinking and gambling.
If not, he shouldn't be just a major as a battle hero.
However, the military still values his ability very much.
Otherwise, he would not have entrusted him with important intelligence work. When he first found this candidate, Li Zitao was surprised for a long time.
Because this candidate is really suitable, as if God deliberately prepared him for it.
This kind of coincidence forced Li Zitao to investigate it cautiously.
However, all information shows that there are such coincidences in the world.
Even more coincidentally, he also happened to be one of the members of the No. 22 club.
That's why Li Zitao approached him deliberately at the annual meeting, and instead of calling him a brother, he took the initiative to be taken advantage of and give him money.
The reason for today's situation is to make Brown owe a huge gambling debt.
No matter how hard he worked, he could never repay this money.
As for Li Zitao, it's nothing more than donating another 2 million to his charity foundation, what a trifle!
Jiang Taigong was fishing, and those who wished would take the bait.
The next thing Li Zitao has to do is to wait patiently. I believe that Mr. Brown, who is burdened with millions of debts, will not let him wait for too long.
...
In fact, as soon as he got home, Brown wanted to turn around and go back to find Li Zitao.
It's just that when he thinks of 2 million dollars, such a huge amount, he will be overwhelmed and breathless.
However, he didn't know what he should say to Li Zitao.
Blame the other party?
What's the use of that, he begged the other party to lend him money.
He had persuaded at the time to leave as soon as possible after calming down.
It's just that the red-eyed Brown didn't listen at all at that time.
‘How wonderful it would be if there were regret medicines sold in this world! ’ Brown wondered.
As for letting the other party forgive the debt, it is even more whimsical.
Brown assumed countless possibilities in his heart, and he didn't think anyone would give up $2 million without making a profit.
If it were him, he would not give up such a huge debt, but would try his best to get the other party to repay the money.
"Di, what's going on?" His wife just got home and saw Brown on the sofa, throwing away her bag and squatting in front of him in concern.
Brown smiled uglier than crying and said, "Honey, we're in big trouble."
"No matter what it is, I will be with you." The wife said firmly, holding his head gently on her shoulder.
At this time, Brown was so haggard that it made people feel distressed, as if he was about to leave in the next second.
No matter what the troubles were, all he needed right now was rest.
His wife's comfort gave Brown some strength, and his drowsy brain let him know that he must rest.
As for the debt that weighed on his heart like a mountain, let's think about it after he wakes up!
