Shenhao with a learning panel

Chapter 149 Borrowing Money
Li Shi remembered wrongly. Zhou Lin, his second uncle’s son, had already graduated from junior high school. He had poor academic performance and was seriously tired of studying. After graduation, his family originally wanted him to go to a vocational high school. He refused to do so, so he found a waiter in a hotel in the city. work.

Although the salary of the waiter is low, it is still a normal job. But within a month, he suddenly called his parents and said that he and his friend went to work in Nanyun Province, and that his friend had a job in Nanyun Province. Luzi can make a lot of money.

For a period of time after that, he repeatedly asked his parents for money under the pretext of buying daily necessities, changing mobile phones, and being unable to afford food.

At first, his parents looked at the Moments he posted, and they felt quite normal, and they didn’t doubt it, but after a long time, they said that they had a normal job, and at the same time kept asking their family for money, and they refused to make video calls. Calling and sending WeChat, his parents gradually became suspicious, but no matter how hard he asked, he just refused to tell the truth.

It wasn't until a few days ago that he suddenly called back in the early morning and cried out the truth to his father.

It turned out that he was deceived by netizens to go to Nanyun Province, and then sold to Myanmar.

"Your second uncle said that the one who lied to Zhou Lin was a woman. At the beginning, she said she wanted to make friends with Zhou Lin, and she also said that she wanted to take him to Nanyun to make a lot of money. He could earn several million a year." Zhou Xiaocui sighed. , "There will be no pies in the sky, Zhou Lin is just..."

Li Shi thought to himself, this kind of look is a scam, and even the other party may not be a woman at all, but the so-called authorities are obsessed.

Asked: "What about now?"

Zhou Xiaocui sighed, and said: "Those people sent a video to your second uncle. In the video, Zhou Lin was beaten everywhere, and they even asked for a ransom of 30. They said they would release him if they paid 30. To cut off Zhou Lin's finger, your second uncle is borrowing money everywhere now, and he also talked to me today, Shitou, what do you say..."

Li Shi knew what his mother meant as soon as he heard it.

Although I haven't had much contact with the relatives there in recent years, they are my mother's blood relatives after all. When encountering such a thing, a kind mother will definitely feel compassion.

It's just that my mother always put herself first. Even if she wanted to lend money to her younger brother, she still called to tell herself first.

Li Shi didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked, "Did you call the police?"

"The other party threatened that if they called the police, they would immediately cut off Zhou Lin's hand and drag him to sell his kidney. Your second uncle wanted to call the police at first, but your second aunt was too scared to let him do so."

Li Shi asked again: "Did the second uncle say how much you want to borrow?"

"They said they wanted to borrow one hundred thousand."

Li Shi pondered for a while, and said: "Mom, this money can be borrowed, but you have to make it clear to the second uncle. You can't believe the words of that kind of liar. If you don't call the police, and the ransom is paid this time, the other party is very likely They will continue to ask for more money... Anyway, we only borrow this [-]."

Zhou Xiaocui heard what Li Shi said, she has always trusted her son the most, and immediately said: "Shitou, what you mean is that it is best to call the police first, right?"

"Well, you transfer the 10 yuan to the second uncle first, and then say this, lest he think that we are unwilling to borrow money to make excuses, and you also make it clear that it is up to them to decide whether to report to the police or not. "

"well."

After chatting with his mother, he hung up the phone. Li Shi immediately transferred 20 to his mother's account, and checked the WeChat group at his grandmother's house.

There is no chat history in the group, and no one has spoken for several days.

He thought for a while, and sent a message to Lu Congwei: "Brother, are you busy now, I have something to ask you."

Then he returned to the chat interface with Jiang Tianpeng. He had already sent several messages:
"You, a fellow, studied fine brushwork. The Xijing Academy of Fine Arts is one of the top art academies in China, and you can get in. For amateurs like us, those are not ordinary people. You are just learning, and it will definitely be enough to teach you. gone."

"Just say it was introduced by Teacher Wang."

Followed by the contact information.

Li Shixian hurriedly replied: "I'm sorry, brother, I just answered a call because of something, thank you!"

"It's okay, by the way, will you go to Jieyang Public Market next month?"

Li Shi replied: "It hasn't been decided yet, let's see if there is time."

After chatting with Jiang Tianpeng, Li Shi looked at the contact information he sent: Baoqing Guoying studio, phone 187...

Li Shi was not in a hurry to contact the other party, and first searched the studio on the Internet, but found nothing.

He thought about it, searched the mobile phone number with WeChat, and then applied to add the other party as a friend.

"Let's get in touch first."

Li Shi put down his phone, clicked on the playback tutorial on the tablet, and continued to study "How to Draw a Bust of Beethoven". After watching it for a few minutes, he found that he couldn't read it, and kept checking his phone for new news.

At first I thought I was waiting for the approval of my friend who just applied, but later I realized that I was actually waiting for Lu Congwei's reply.

Picking up the phone, clicked on WeChat to take a look, and then called Lu Congwei.

The call was connected quickly.

"Brother Stone, what's wrong?"

"That's right, I have a relative..."

Li Shi told the story of his cousin being deceived to go to Myanmar, and asked for advice: "Brother, you are more familiar with Myanmar. How do you deal with this matter? If the ransom is paid, the Will you let him go directly?"

Lu Congwei immediately said: "It's hard to say. I have seen many similar cases over the years. Some people were indeed released after paying a ransom, but most of them would not be released. Most of the people who were rescued in the end were rescued by local authorities." The efforts of the police and the National Immigration Bureau... If I could have asked someone to help you inquire about it a few years ago, it is too chaotic over there now, and my relationship with my brother is out of reach, alas."

Lu Congwei is just an ordinary jadeite merchant. Now that he goes there by himself, he doesn't dare to run around. He only looks at and buys goods in a relatively safe area.

After chatting for a while, Li Shi hung up the phone, feeling much calmer.

The call didn't help,
But he tried his best.

At least he felt like he was trying his best.

If he used the learning panel, he could go to Burma and rescue people, but that would be a big risk, and he couldn't do that.

Not to mention a cousin who has had little contact with each other since he was young, even if he has not spoken a few words, even other close relatives, Li Shi would not do this.

At present, there is only one and a half people in the world who would let him take this risk, his mother is one, and Chen Qiuye can only be counted as half for the time being.

He didn't think he was selfish either.

It's just human nature.

Clicking on the tutorial on the tablet to play again, Li Shi studied hard for more than ten minutes, and there was a notification tone on WeChat, and that Guo Ying passed the friend application.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li Shi? You want to learn sketching, right?"

Li Shi chatted and talked about his situation.

Guo Ying said: "Mr. Li, if you are in a hurry to learn now, there may not be enough time. I also brought a few students who will take the art entrance examination in December, but if you only learn the basic skills of sketching, I can introduce my girlfriend to bring you You, she is a graduate of Chuanmei Art Education, and her sketching skills are more solid than mine."
