Chapter 918: Chapter 907 Lost Money

“Looks like I really need to remind my dad to pay more attention to Song Dong!” Song Yun said, “So we don’t get tricked again.”

“Hehe, uncle is quite smart.” Qingluan said with a smile, “He must have guessed it long ago.”

“That’s true, haha, it’s just us two guessing here.” Song Yun laughed, and just then, Song Yun’s phone rang. It was a call from Lin Jia.

Song Yun smiled apologetically at Qingluan, walked away, and then picked up the phone.

“What’s up? I don’t have time to chat now, if you have something, say it quickly!” Song Yun asked.

“Song Yun, where are you now?” Lin Jia’s voice on the other end sounded a bit hesitant and somewhat flustered.

Song Yun frowned and asked, “Where am I? What’s up?”

“Um… can you lend me some money?” Lin Jia said softly, “I… I urgently need it!”

“Money? You didn’t bring any? How much do you need?” Song Yun asked.

“One million.” Lin Jia said, “I… I promise I’ll pay you back!”

“I have just two questions for you now, 1, where are you? 2, why do you need the money?” Song Yun asked.

“I… I don’t know where I am, Chen Feng brought me here, we… were playing cards, and I… I lost, so… I need to pay back the money, I was thinking of making a comeback… so, I need one million.” Lin Jia said.

“Let Chen Feng take the phone.” Song Yun’s voice suddenly turned cold.

“Okay!” Lin Jia agreed, and then there was no sound from the other end. After a few seconds, a male voice came from the phone.

“Hello!”

“I’m Lin Jia’s man.” Song Yun said bluntly.

“Oh!! I know, it’s that guy from this morning, right? Hello, hello, what’s the matter?” Chen Feng asked.

“You just need to answer me one question, where did you take Lin Jia?” Song Yun asked sternly.

“Us? We’re at a friend’s place playing cards right now. Oh dear, Lin Jia’s luck tonight is really bad, I don’t even know what to say, she lost a little, I advised her not to play anymore, she still wants to continue, and as a result, she’s already lost over 300,000 now!” Chen Feng’s tone sounded a bit helpless, but Song Yun didn’t pay attention to this and directly asked, “Where is your friend’s place?”

“Well… it’s a private place, strangers can’t come here, but if you’re bringing money for Lin Jia, then you can come!” Chen Feng said, “But I suggest you bring maybe 300,000-500,000, play a while to try and win it back, if you lose it all, then don’t play anymore, bad luck just keeps losing!”

“Okay! Tell me where it is, I’ll bring the money.” Song Yun said.

“It’s at building XXX, unit XXX, floor XXX in the XXX neighborhood.” Chen Feng said simply.

“Please hand the phone back to Lin Jia.” Song Yun requested.

“Alright!”

After a while, Lin Jia’s voice came back.

“Hey…” The voice sounded a bit timid.

“Stay there and behave. If anyone wants you to sign some papers, don’t sign, and don’t play with people anymore, just do nothing until I get there, got it?” Song Yun said.

“But… but then I can’t make a comeback!” Lin Jia hesitated.

“If you want to make a comeback, I’ll have someone send you back to Sunan right now. I didn’t bring you here to cause trouble, understand?” Song Yun’s voice was severe and sinister, Lin Jia on the other end was clearly scared.

“Well… alright then.” Lin Jia said.

Snap.

Song Yun hung up the phone, then walked to Qingluan’s side and smiled awkwardly, “Sorry, Qingluan, I have to go out for a bit.”

“Okay, alright!” Qingluan said, “Be careful!”

“Okay!”

Rushing out of the Song Family, Song Yun didn’t drive, he hailed a taxi directly to the XXX neighborhood. Once there, he asked for directions and quickly found the XXX unit, then went straight upstairs.

Knock knock knock.

Song Yun stopped in front of door XXX and knocked.

After a while, the door finally opened from inside, a man smoking appeared before Song Yun’s eyes.

“Where’s Lin Jia?” Song Yun asked.

“Lin Jia? Oh! You mean the newcomer? Inside. I say, did you bring money?” the man asked.

Song Yun didn’t say anything and directly pushed the man blocking the door aside and went in.

It was a nicely decorated suite, in the middle of the suite, there was a large table, people surrounding it, playing cards, everyone had piles of chips in front of them.

Lin Jia wasn’t among them, she was sitting on a sofa aside, seeing Song Yun come, Lin Jia stood up in surprise.

Song Yun walked towards Lin Jia with a somber expression and asked, “Don’t say anything, come with me.”

Lin Jia nodded and reached out to grab Song Yun’s arm.

Song Yun ignored everyone else, turned around and led Lin Jia towards the door, but the man who was smoking blocked Song Yun.

“I say, buddy, this friend owes us 320,000, and you just want to walk out, that’s not right!” the smoking man said while staring at Song Yun.

“Are you sure you lost it gambling?” Song Yun asked Lin Jia.

“Uh…” Lin Jia didn’t dare look at Song Yun, with her head down, she looked like a guilty little puppy.

Song Yun sighed helplessly, among all his women, Lin Jia was perhaps the hardest to control, she clearly didn’t understand anything but liked to act as if she knew everything, thinking she was smart, but in reality just possessed some minor cleverness, nothing more.

These kinds of tiny dens, Song Yun had actually known since coming to Beijing, there are many illegal dens like these in Beijing, generally played by people with some money but idle at home.

Of course, some celebrities also liked to engage in these, gather three to five people, set up a table, and start gambling. It’s a kind of pastime activity but over a few years of evolution, some people have started making a living out of it.

Of course, this making a living doesn’t mean they earn purely from gambling, how exactly they make money can be explained like this: for example, someone from the outside makes a mistake and needs to come to Beijing to find someone to resolve it, they need to spend money, right? But it’s not like you can spend money anywhere, first, you need to come to these places to play cards, once you’ve lost enough money, the people you’re playing against, the ones supposedly responsible for connecting you to your side of the equation will introduce you to the person you need, this is called showing sincerity, and then you start spending money to have the interested party complete your task.
