The night market street opposite the main entrance of Jiangcheng University of Geosciences.
Jiang Chen and Fang Qing had already drank.
Beer and hot pot are one of the great pleasures in the world.
University is actually an industry. Although tens of thousands of college students have not yet left school, they have continuously created value for society. For example, hotels, vendors, restaurants, KTVs around the university... all rely on lovely college students. Survive.
The same goes for night markets filled with fireworks.
Life is so important.
Life is so light.
The death of Hong Xiaoyu's roommate had minimal impact on the entire Jiangcheng University of Geosciences. Just like the death of one cell, it would not affect the work of other cells. The centrally planned night market was bustling. When Boss Jiang arrived with Qingmei just now, Still waited for more than ten minutes for a seat.
The students dining around were either chatting about games, celebrity concerts, or movies. Boss Jiang was among them and did not feel out of place. He toasted to Fang Qing from time to time, feeling content and content.
"Are you hungry?"
Fang Qing couldn't help but said, Hong Xiaoyu hasn't arrived yet, if he eats like this, he will be full soon.
"Don't you think it tastes good?"
Jiang Chen was boiling Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and drinking beer with a cheerful expression. He didn't look like he was visiting his cousin, but he seemed to be here to satisfy his appetite.
"Wipe your mouth."
Fang Qing said "disgusted".
Boss Jiang didn't take it seriously. He was not an outsider, so why should he be so concerned about his image? He casually took out two tissues and suddenly looked behind Fang Qing.
"Sit."
Hong Xiaoyu finally arrived and greeted Fang Qing, "Sister Fang Qing."
Fang Qing nodded.
Hong Xiaoyu sat down next to him.
"See what else you can eat, order it yourself,"
Jiang Chen said casually.
"I'm not very hungry."
Hong Xiaoyu is in good condition, but his mood is a bit depressed.
"It's okay not to eat, then drink some."
Boss Jiang, this brother, is indeed open-minded.
"Yeah."
Hong Xiaoyu didn't hesitate and went to get the beer bottle on the table after speaking.
"That belongs to your sister Fang Qing. Go get two more bottles."
So Hong Xiaoyu really got up and went to the boss to ask for a drink.
Fang Qing smiled and picked up the chopsticks again.
"Gulu."
After getting his own beer, Hong Xiaoyu drank a glass by himself.
Jiang Chen turned a blind eye and put vegetables in the pot: "The person has been found."
"Well, in the lake."
Jiang Chen said as if nothing had happened, "What did the police say?"
"It's basically a suicide."
"Where are his parents."
Fang Qing asked.
"His parents plan to take him back to his hometown. The school will help make arrangements and compensate his parents 100,000 yuan."
"Your school is quite humane."
One hundred thousand yuan is not much, but as the school, there is no need to give it. After all, the school has no responsibility for this matter from beginning to end.
certainly.
If family members cause trouble, regardless of fault, it will have a negative impact on the school's reputation, so this method can be regarded as the most appropriate way to handle it.
"Brother, I told Afeng's parents about his online gambling."
From Hong Xiaoyu’s perspective.
“Well done.”
Jiang Chen affirmed, "At least his parents can understand why their child committed suicide."
Hong Xiaoyu drank another beer by himself.
That's what he thought.
Although this seemed to add insult to injury, and made the poor parents who had just lost their child have to bear the fact that the child had developed bad habits, in comparison, he felt that as a parent, it should be more difficult to bear the unclear death of a child.
At least they now know why the child committed suicide.
"His parents said thank you to me."
Hong Xiaoyu's voice became lower: "And he forcibly returned the four thousand yuan to me."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen stopped his chopsticks and said, "It's a pity."
With such parents, the character of the children will not be much different, but on the road of life, they will encounter too many temptations. Sometimes a wrong thought may lead to them going astray, but some people can get back on track. But some people have no chance to correct themselves.
"I've been thinking about it now. I know he gambles money online. If I didn't help him hide it, but told everyone, told the school, and told his parents, he wouldn't have committed suicide. I even lent him money and He pushed further into the lake."
"Are you lending him money to let him continue gambling?"
Fang Qing spoke softly.
"No. I just want to help him and relieve his pressure."
"About 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year around the world, and more than 3,000 people die in traffic accidents every day. Should automobile manufacturers bear responsibility for this?"
Hong Xiaoyu was silent.
"No one can guarantee that every one of his actions will bring good results. What can be guaranteed is that such actions are done out of goodwill or malice."
Jiang Chen nodded unconsciously and brought Qing Gege with him. Of course, it was not without purpose. Having Fang Qing here could help him save a lot of energy. As expected, Qing Gege lived up to his expectations.
"Go one."
He raised his glass.
Fang Qing and he both drank one sip after another, but Hong Xiaoyu always drank it all in one gulp, and the bottle of wine would reach the bottom within a short time.
"He is your roommate, you can be sad, you can be sad, but you can't wallow in it. Don't think of yourself as a great person. You haven't graduated yet. How capable are you? Ask your sister Fang Qing, how many people has she really saved? How many people have you helped win their lawsuits? According to your statement, I am afraid that your sister Fang Qing will have to go to the mental health management center for a long time. No, maybe it is not her who comes to visit you, but you who go to the mental health management center to visit you. Him.”
Hong Xiaoyu's face trembled and his expression was strange.
"Didn't you say it tastes good here? Eat more."
Jiang Chen took a sip of beer and said, "Qinggege, I don't mean anything against you. I'm just discussing the matter. It's not just your lawyers, it's the same for doctors. Do those patients who couldn't be saved need to feel sorry for this?"
Some people can carry it alone.
And some people need counseling.
It has to do with character.
It’s also related to will.
Hong Xiaoyu obviously belongs to the latter.
"Brother, do you think I should go and tell the police?"
Hong Xiaoyu opened another bottle of wine, and his mood relaxed a lot. It could be seen from the efficiency of his drinking that he no longer drank one glass at a time.
"What did you say?"
"Online gambling. Afeng is definitely not the only one in school who is addicted to online gambling."
It finally dawned on me.
The tragedy of his roommate was not caused by him, it was clearly caused by the evil online gambling platform.
"You decide this yourself."
Jiang Chen picked up the chopsticks to scoop out the vegetables, and did not forget to remind Fang Qing, "The lettuce is ripe."
Really ungentlemanly.
Can't you help me clamp it?
It's just pretentious.
I'm sorry because my cousin is here?
Have you forgotten the history of sharing a bed when you were a kid?
wrong.
Not just when I was a kid.
It’s not like I haven’t slept since I grew up. "You eat more."
Fang Qing shouldn't be very hungry. After all, girls rarely have the habit of eating late night snacks. Not everyone is gifted, and innate advantages need to be paid attention to.
Taoist Duanmu is a different kind.
But from another perspective, the nutrients that people who practice martial arts need are not at the same level as ordinary people. In this way, everything seems to be reasonable.
"Then I will go to the police station tomorrow and ask them to investigate the Moon City."
Jiang Chen was originally holding a spoon to help Fang Qing scoop lettuce, but Hong Xiaoyu's words made him take action.
"Moon City?"
Why does it sound familiar?
"Well, it's the platform where A Feng gambles on his mobile phone. I've seen it before. It's called Moon City."
Jiang Chen was thoughtful.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
Fang Qing looked at him.
Hong Xiaoyu also noticed something unusual, "Brother, you know? You don't gamble online, do you?"
"..."
With Boss Jiang's wealth, no online gambling platform should be able to open a gambling game that matches his.
"I've heard of it."
Jiang Chen's expression returned to normal and he scooped the lettuce into the green plum bowl.
"I'm going to make a phone call."
Then he got up, probably thinking it was too noisy, and walked out.
The memory is not wrong.
After confirming with Bai Haoran, the Moon City that Xiaoyu mentioned was exactly what Bai Haoran mentioned. It was founded by a new celebrity in Haojiang, the former Haojiang boss of the He family, Yu Guangrong, and Zhong Xiaoye, nicknamed the Nine-Headed Bird. Online gambling platform.
When he heard Bai Haoran mention it in the A+ billiard hall, Jiang Chen didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the so-called Haojiang upstart was too low-ranking for him. But what he didn't expect was that the other party actually had "courage".
No wonder Bai Haoran would give such an evaluation at that time.
Sure enough, he can do anything for profit.
Have online gambling platforms been developed into the mainland?
And even college students are included.
"Brother Bai, check this Moon City online platform in detail and notify me immediately if you find the result."
"Yes."
After ending the call, Jiang Chen walked back to the store.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay."
Jiang Chen sat down, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Don't imitate your sister Fang Qing. If you look haggard, someone will feel sorry for you."
Hong Xiaoyu looked at Fang Qing, but he was not shy and replied: "Sister Fang Qing is haggard, otherwise someone would feel sorry for her."
Obviously he had a good conversation about this topic, but I don't know if it was because the night market was doing so well and the surroundings were so noisy that neither brother nor sister seemed to have heard what he said and didn't respond.
The three of them drank half a bottle of beer, and naturally none of them were drunk.
"Brother, let me know when you leave."
"If you have anything to give, just settle your own affairs."
The elder brother and sister must be responsible for sending the younger brother back to the dormitory safely and entering the gate of the University of Geosciences. Jiang Chen said seriously: "Don't make people worry. I'm not talking about me."
"I understand."
After saying that, Hong Xiaoyu looked at Fang Qing and said, "Sister Fang Qing, please take care of my brother."
"He didn't drink too much."
"I'm not talking about today's wine."
Hong Xiaoyu followed suit and immediately ran away. When he reached a safe distance, he stopped, turned around and waved vigorously.
Jiang Chen and Fang Qing stopped.
Hong Xiaoyu turned around again and strode toward the bedroom alone in the night.
"This kid."
Jiang Chen smiled, "You have indeed grown up, and you dare to make fun of us."
"Well, if you have the chance, you have to teach him a lesson."
Fang Qing had never regarded Hong Xiaoyu as an outsider, and when she was a child, she was not merciful at all.
There was no need to send them off, so the two of them turned around and walked back to the school gate.
"That Moon City, has anything to do with you?"
Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he was not surprised.
"It doesn't matter."
He immediately denied it.
"The mainland is very strict in this regard. The harm of online gambling is endless. Once the crime is confirmed, you will be jailed."
Listening to the gentle whispers around him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Qinggege, you don't need to scare me. I still know this bit of legal knowledge, how could it have anything to do with me. Although online gambling is incredibly profitable, a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely."
"It has nothing to do with you, but it doesn't rule out that it has nothing to do with the people around you."
Jiang Chen sighed.
"It is not a good thing for a woman to be too smart."
Fang Qing frowned slightly and her tone changed slightly, "Is it really related to you?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, "I was not involved, but I know the boss behind this platform, and I have asked someone to investigate."
"All college students have become victims. The user range of this platform should not be underestimated. Putting the games of the rich on the gambling table of the poor will have serious consequences."
He is worthy of being a legal elite.
Be concise and to the point.
There are many gray areas in society, which are illegal but reasonable, such as casinos. No matter how severe the crackdown is, they will always be like cancer cells that can regenerate in the corners.
No matter how advanced the civilized system is, it will default to the existence of some evils, but allowing them to exist does not mean allowing them to wreak havoc.
Casinos are allowed, but the scale must be controlled.
There can be trees around the house, but if the tree grows too tall, blocks the sun and affects lighting, the tree will definitely have to be cut down.
Put the rich man's game on the poor man's gambling table.
Fang Qing's words are extremely insightful.
Searching for the wealth of the rich is irrelevant, because the rich have the ability to withstand risks, but the poor only have three melons and two dates in their pockets. If they don't let go of even this little money, it will cost their lives.
So Jiang Chen nodded frankly and acknowledged Qingmei's statement, "It's indeed crazy."
"You can still be so calm, if more and more people have accidents, commit suicide, or have their families destroyed because of this Moon City...and this is bound to happen."
In fact, she knew that the guys around her couldn't understand these truths, but she still couldn't help talking.
"Well, although I am not a police officer, as a citizen, I have an obligation to prevent this kind of thing from happening."
Jiang Chen was serious.
Fang Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Qinggege, I want to ask you something."
After walking out of the Geology University again, Jiang Chen had a sudden thought, "If I really opened this Moon City, what would you do? When you are arrested, will you be willing to appear in court to defend me?"
Fang Qing didn't even think about such a difficult question.
"As long as you pay the attorney's fees."
Jiang Chen smiled and stopped, "Really or not? Do you dare to take this kind of case? Are you not afraid of being infamy for thousands of years?"
"Why don't you answer? What's our relationship?"
Jiang Chen was very relieved, "It's not in vain that I took the blame for you all those years and got beaten."
But before he could be moved for too long, he heard again: "If you were a devil, I would personally send you to the most suitable hell."
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.
Fang Qing kept walking and continued to move forward.
"Hey, is it necessary to be so dedicated? It's okay if you don't accept it, why do you have to kill your relatives out of justice?"
"Hey, wait for me!" (End of Chapter)
