Chapter 90 Mortgage, forcing girls into prostitution
Tom Chen spends less and less time in the store during the day, and the products on the shelves are becoming increasingly scarce.

The warehouse was empty. Except for a large amount of ammunition, no one cared about it. Charged guns of various lengths and sizes were "discounted" by Tom Chen. The explosion-proof exoskeleton used as a sample was disassembled by him, and the parts were sold to several underground modification dealers.

To Gu Jianqiu, Tom Chen just said that he has been struggling with cash flow recently and didn't say anything more. Gu Jianqiu also pretended not to know.

On this day, when Gu Jianqiu arrived at get off work, Tom Chen stopped him.

"Jianqiu, did your eldest sister's surgery go well?"

"Fortunately, the doctor said that I need to rest."

"You should have listened to me earlier and found a remodeler. The charges are cheap and the surgery is beautiful. As long as you don't publicize it, nothing will happen. If the empire hadn't issued medical licenses to these remodelers, the government would have Those bastards in the hospital have long since starved to death.”

Gu Jianqiu smiled and said nothing.

"Don't go back tonight, I'll buy you a drink."

"You can't live without me at home, I'm sorry boss."

Tom Chen was a little unhappy and grabbed Gu Jianqiu: "What can't happen without you?"

"My eldest sister is still recuperating. I am the only one in the family who can cook. If I don't go back, my mother and brother will be hungry."

"As long as you have money, let them go to the restaurant!"

Without giving Gu Jianqiu another chance to refuse, he lowered his voice: "How many days of leave have you taken these days? Have I ever told you that you don't know how I treat you? Huh?"

Tom Chen went to the safe and fiddled with the knob for a while, then took out a thin brown paper bag and threw it to Gu Jianqiu.

Gu Jianqiu opened it and took a look. The gorgeous metal stamping came into view. It was his diploma from the Normal School.

Gu Jianqiu didn't show any emotion. This academic certificate has been registered in the Equipment Manufacturing Bureau. Once the Hualong soldier incident comes to light, the academic certificate will also be revoked.

"I'm going to introduce you to a few old customers today. I'll give you more things to do in the future, and you can earn more. Do you want to be a teller for the rest of your life? Or don't you want to pay me off earlier?"

Gu Jianqiu thought for a while and then said: "Let's do this, eight o'clock, can I walk at eight o'clock?"

"Okay!" Tom Chen then smiled: "As long as you are willing to leave when the time comes."

……

……

The steaming mutton pot was bubbling with water, the lights were dimmed, and Tom Chen was drinking wine with several factory owners, talking and laughing loudly.

Tom Chen, a half-breed from Citibank, had learned all the tricks of Oriental Wine Shop, and asked Gu Jianqiu to help him hold back a lot of wine. Gu Jianqiu's face was already a little red, and he obviously drank a lot. He held the wine glass and looked out the window. There were a row of The carved windows came into view. This was an apartment building area facing the river. It even looked a little dilapidated from the outside, and the decoration inside was not very luxurious.

"Jianqiu, what are you doing standing still? Drink, come on, I'll drink with you."

Tom Chen holds a toothpick in his mouth.

Gu Jianqiu managed it reluctantly and drank several glasses of strong wine. There were already many empty bottles on the table.

Gu Jianqiu started to speak a little vaguely: "Boss, you can't drink anymore. I don't drink well. I'm afraid it won't be decent if I get drunk."

A man with a shiny face and a bow tie laughed and patted Gu Jianqiu on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, this is not a decent place."

"Tang Laosi, don't just look around. Is this okay? It's true that Yiyuan Dog Farm is closed, but you can't fool us by finding a bacon shop. I thought you invited me to Xianchun Tower."

Tom Chen is obviously not satisfied with the environment here.

Tang Laosi's mouth was full of alcohol: "If Mr. Pingtan from Xianchun Tower doesn't do Citigroup's business, then don't even think about it!"

Suddenly everyone on the table was laughing, except Tom Chen who couldn't laugh.

"Tom, what's so good about Xianchun Tower? It's a lot of money, but you can't afford any benefits. Those who go to Xianchun Tower are either playboys who take advantage of them, or they are amateurs who join in the fun. You will know the benefits of this place later." "

The prostitution industry in Jiangning is very developed, and there are even brothels that are publicly listed and subscribe to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. Such as the study apartment in Xianchun Tower, but these high-end brothels cost a lot and have a slogan of "showing off one's skills but not one's body". Most of them are patronized by noble sons like Cui Shouqi who come from well-known families.

Most of these local factory owners in Jiangning are in their thirties or forties. Their education level is not high and their image is not good. However, they are not short of money and have high vision. The girls in the study apartment may not favor them. They are ordinary bacon shops and smokehouses. She didn't like them, so she went to look for "Taiji bosses". To put it bluntly, they were prostitutes with half-open doors. Many of them were women from good families.

A woman pushed the door open and came in, whispering something to Tang Laosi. He glanced at Gu Jianqiu and said with a smile, "I think he really drank too much. Let him rest for a while."

"go Go."

Gu Jianqiu breathed a sigh of relief and left the table. The woman, with a smile on her face, led him to the next room, pushed him, and closed the door behind her. Seeing Gu Jianqiu leave, Tang Laosi asked in a low voice: "Is this person reliable?"

"A local, well-informed, a top student at Jiangning Normal School, a serious member of the New Sixth School! How else can I find a country man to trick you?"

"It's hard to tell. I think this guy is dull and not very smart. Is he really the new sixth school?"

"Wouldn't it be over if I ask him to show you his academic certificate later? Don't think about it. If there is no employee of the New Sixth School, how can I fool the killer (Cui Richang)?"

"How long have you been there?"

"Three or four months."

"I said the surname is Chen. Although we have been friends for more than ten years, we have one code and one code. Let's put it in black and white. If you give me a meeting, I can find him as a guarantor to sell the house."

"What are you talking about? I have such a big business, and the storefront of Hualong alone costs hundreds of thousands. I run away, and you take over the house!"

Tom Chen's chest crackled.

"..."

Gu Jianqiu stroked his forehead, picked up the towel on the table, put it in the basin, wiped his face, and said to the girl wearing only a light gauze dress on the bed: "Sit down, I will take a rest, you Just pretend that I am not a person.”

There is no clock in this room, and it is kept clean, no different from ordinary people's homes.

The girl was stunned, secretly looking at Gu Jianqiu.

Gu Jianqiu stayed for about twenty minutes, it was almost eight o'clock, so he opened the door and was about to leave, but the girl whispered: "Brother, can you do me a favor? I beg you, I will give it to you." Kneel down."

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground.

"What's the matter? Get up and speak slowly."

Gu Jianqiu lifted the girl up. Only then did he realize that the girl had a tender face and a very light body, weighing only seventy or eighty pounds. He immediately frowned: "How old are you?"

"Fifteen, I, I am from Gaoqiao Village. I was abducted by my second uncle. My parents must be looking for me everywhere. You are so kind and merciful. Can you send a message to them to save me? , I kowtow to you.”

"Don't cry. Speak slowly."

This girl is also quite smart and can explain the causes and consequences very clearly.

"What do your parents do?"

"They sell sesame oil snacks in Gaoqiao Village. It's called Guoji. You'll know after you go there and ask. Please save me. My family is rich."

"Did your parents smoke laudanum?"

The girl shook her head: "My parents don't touch that stuff."

"Where is your second uncle?"

"I, I don't know."

Gu Jianqiu looked at the girl up and down. She had just taken a shower. She had no tattoos on her body. She had a few bruises on her wrists and knees. She looked haggard and pitiful.

"How long have you been here? How many people have been in this room?"

Gu Jianqiu asked very carefully, which seemed a bit unreasonable.

"It must be about half a month. Yes, there are seven people, two of them. Seeing that I am young, no, no..."

Gu Jianqiu sobered up a little and let out a sigh of relief from his nostrils.

"You will help me out later, lower your head, and do whatever I tell you to do."

Gu Jianqiu's heart rate exceeded 20 points. At this moment, the heart rate fluctuations became violent, and he exuded a convincing temperament in his every move. The girl nodded unconsciously.

Gu Jianqiu pretended to be drunk, let the girl support him, pushed the door to the corridor, and then arrived at the stairs. A strong man with arms on his shoulders raised his head and frowned when he saw Gu Jianqiu who could not stand firmly on the stairs. , took two steps forward, and before he could speak, his eyes went dark.

There was only a muffled sound, and Gu Jianqiu grabbed the man's mouth and nose with one hand, and the skin and bones on his face made a rattling sound under unbearable pressure.

After a while, Gu Jianqiu pinched the unconscious man's head, pushed him gently to the wall, let his body slide down little by little, and then grabbed the girl's hand and walked out.
