Song Wei was dumbstruck.
Her colleagues had reminded her that small bets were good for the heart, but big bets were bad for the body.
Gambling websites would give newbies certain discounts and benefits, making them addicted to them step by step.
She even repeatedly reminded Song Wei that she should only bet 300 to 500 yuan each time.
After 5,000 yuan, reduce the number of bets appropriately.
Once she loses three or four times in a row, she should withdraw her winnings immediately and cancel her account.
A losing streak meant that the website was ready to start harvesting its rewards.
If she continued to place bets at this time, she would be considered a pure and innocent person.
“You remember now, right?” Chen Yu asked indifferently. “Your colleague has no intention of harming you at all. She thinks you have a good personality and usually take good care of her, so they brought you along to earn some pocket money.”
“You jump right into it, thinking you’re gifted, and you lose money purely because you lack experience.”
“Greed is the root cause of your current state.”
Song Wei’s face turned green.
If it weren’t for her inability to move her legs, she really wanted to jump down right now.
Her colleagues had repeatedly reminded her, but she had ignored them all.
After winning a few thousand yuan, Song Wei suffered a series of losses.
At that time, her eyes were already red from gambling.
Her colleague’s reminder was thrown thousands of miles away by her. She took out all her savings and cashed in various credit cards.
The saying that nine out of ten gambles were lost was vividly displayed on her.
In order to recoup her losses, Song Wei first had the idea of using her parents’ retirement money and then borrowed money from her relatives and friends to recoup her losses.
The bank, relatives, and friends called her landline, and her gambling addiction could not be hidden anymore.
Faced with her parents’ painful questioning and her surrounding neighbors’ cold attitude, Song Wei could no longer hold on to the astronomical debt.
“What if I tell you that you have another path other than death?” Chen Yu asked. “Will you give up on suicide?”
“Another path…”
Song Wei muttered to herself and let out a miserable laugh.
“There’s no more. All that’s left in front of me is death.”
She had emptied her parents’ retirement funds and borrowed nearly a million yuan from her relatives and friends.
How could there be a way out?
“If you die, the debt you owe will not disappear. The so-called debt disappearance after death is just your one-sided thought.”
“The loan sharks will apply to the court to auction your house. In order to pay off your debts, your parents will drag their old bodies out to work.”
“Do you really want to see them become like this?”
Chen Yu’s question hit her in the soul.
“I don’t want to, but…” Song Wei said dejectedly. “But what can I do?”
“There is something.”
Chen Yu interrupted Song Wei’s words and repeated what he had just said.
Song Wei’s choice wasn’t just death; there was another way out.
“If you want to face your parents again, do as I say now.”
“Can you really show me a second way out?”
Song Wei was skeptical.
“You and I are not related, so there’s no need for me to lie to you. Moreover, whether you die or not has nothing to do with me. I just can’t bear to see your parents grow old without a home to stay in.”
Chen Yu told Song Wei to take out her phone and call her worried parents to report her safety.
After the phone call, she would need to go to a place with him.
At this moment, Song Wei realized she could move her legs again.
“The choice is already in your hands. If you insist on dying and take a step forward, you will disappear from this world forever.”
“If you’re willing to believe me, take out your phone and call your parents.”
After saying so, Chen Yu walked toward the policemen.
“You’re Dr. Chen Yu, right?” A senior policeman asked.
“Did Captain Li tell you that?” Chen Yu asked with a faint smile.
“I thought you looked familiar. The more I looked at you, the more you looked like the Dr. Chen Captain Li told us about.”
“Gentlemen, that woman won’t commit suicide anymore,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “I’m going to take her to a place later. Please make it convenient for me.”
“Okay, okay, no problem.”
The policemen nodded.
Due to his work relationship, Li Changjun had come to their district to handle some matters.
Noticing the Black Cat Sheriff sticker on Li Changjun’s chest, everyone couldn’t help but ask about the origin of the sticker.
Li Changjun praised Chen Yu to the point that he was deemed unparalleled in this world.
After hearing Chen Yu’s story many times, everyone naturally had an impression of him.
Once he was done greeting the policemen, Chen Yu stood at the entrance and waited patiently.
A few minutes later, Song Wei hung up the phone and followed Chen Yu to a nearby breakfast shop.
It was now past nine in the morning, past the breakfast rush.
Chen Yu ordered a bowl of porridge and a basket of steamed buns before pushing them toward the young woman.
“Since you don’t want to die, eat your fill first.”
“Thank you.”
Song Wei wolfed down the breakfast in front of her.
Chen Yu sighed.
It seemed that Song Wei had not eaten properly for a long time.
After a while, Song Wei finished her breakfast. She wiped the corner of her mouth and asked, “Doctor, do you have any way to help me get out of this predicament?”
“When you return to your parents’ house later, call all your debt collectors,” Chen Yu said.
“Talk to them about how you’re willing to repay in installments and write down a formal repayment agreement.”
“You’ll be paying them in installments, with 90% of your salary every month.”
“They won’t agree.”
Song Wei had once discussed the repayment with her debt collectors.
She begged the debt collectors to give her some time. Even if she had to sell her blood and kidneys, she would definitely pay back the money.
However, none of the debt collectors were willing to give her time.
After all, the words of a gambler could not be trusted.
“The past is the past, and the present is the present.”
“This time, they will agree.”
“The scene of you preparing to commit suicide by jumping off a building has been recorded by countless people,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “It’s already spreading like wildfire online.”
“Almost all of your debt collectors saw it.”
“If you now tell them you’re willing to pay back the money in installments now, they will definitely agree.”
“If you die, their money will be gone.”
“Your parents aren’t young anymore, and these people aren’t sure if they can pay them back.”
“If you commit suicide when you’re forced into a corner, the millions they lent you will really go down the drain.”
After saying this, Chen Yu asked for Song Wei’s phone.
He entered an address on it.
“Doctor, what is this place?”
Song Wei vaguely recognized that the address Chen Yu wrote seemed to be a suburban factory district.
“Follow this address and find this factory,” Chen Yu explained.
“The factory is recruiting workers now. As long as you work there for a year, your fate will change.”
After working for a year, Song Wei could not only pay off the money she owed her relatives but also give her parents a good life.
“Is it that simple?”
Song Wei found it unbelievable.
She could accept being a factory worker.
After all, what Song Wei needed the most now was money.
However, Chen Yu mentioned that her fate would change after a year, which was somewhat unbelievable.
What would happen a year later that could change her fate?
