Chapter 6002: Owe 20 Million
The call was connected in seconds.
Zhao Qiming scolded in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you not to call me during my working hours?! What's wrong with you? You called four or five times in a row, are you trying to kill me?"
"No." The wife on the other end of the phone started crying.
Zhao Qiming panicked: "What's the matter? Don't cry first, explain the matter clearly first."
Zhao Qiming's wife then said intermittently: "Yaozu was gambling outside, gambling... lost... lost 20 million."
"What!" Zhao Qiming almost lost the phone.
His wife cried even harder: "He lost... still US dollars!"
20 million US dollars... equivalent to losing 100 million or nearly 200 million! Zhao Qiming's heart trembled violently, his knees went weak, fortunately his hands were quick to support the wall and didn't make a big joke.
At this moment, his face was pale, and blue and red. Because he was still in the research center and was afraid of being heard, he could only suppress his throat and make a sound like a gas tank about to explode.
"Didn't I ask my parents to look after him?"
The wife just kept crying.
Zhao Qiming was upset by her crying and stopped her with a stern voice: "Stop crying! What's the use of crying? Cry, cry, cry, cry. I told you to educate him well, but you insisted on spoiling him. As a result, you spoiled him, and now you know how to cry."
"What do you mean by spoiled by me, Zhao Qiming, you should speak with conscience." The wife screamed; "If you hadn't been busy with your crappy class every day, often working overtime for half a year without going home, would Yaozu become what he is now?"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Qiming was even more annoyed when he mentioned this, and his face was dark and aggrieved: "If it weren't for him, would I have come to this point now? In order to compensate him, I got him a green card and sent your parents out. What else do you want? You still want to bring up those old things. Now that there is a problem, solve the problem, what about him?"
The wife's arrogance was suppressed and she hesitated.
"Still in... the casino."
"He's still gambling?!" Zhao Qiming was almost mad.
"No, no." His wife explained hurriedly, "The casino people detained him and wouldn't let him leave. They also notified my parents, and my parents called me, and I found out about it."
Zhao Qiming felt very complicated for a moment. On the one hand, he was glad that the prodigal son didn't continue gambling, and on the other hand, he was nervous that the casino detained someone.
"…What do they want?"
"They want us to pay the money and pay back the gambling money Yaozu owes, and then they will let him go. Otherwise, they want to… Yaozu's life."
His wife started to cry again when she said this: "Guns are legal in foreign countries, and those people are desperate criminals. They can shoot if they want. I only have one son, and I will not live if he dies."
Zhao Qiming felt a bitter taste in his throat, and asked her mechanically: "What do you want from me?"
His wife couldn't wait to say: "Don't you have connections abroad? Ask them for help, and ask them to bring Yaozu out safely!"
"Heh." Zhao Qiming didn't know whether to laugh at her or at himself.
His wife seemed not to hear him, and cried again: "If it doesn't work, you can find a way to give them what they want. As long as you give them something, they will give us money! We can redeem Yaozu ourselves with the money!"
Zhao Qiming couldn't bear it anymore, and his eyes were red. He said viciously: "Do you know what you need to exchange for so much money! That's 20 million, do you think it's 20,000, 200,000?"
