119: Chapter 119 Quitting Gambling Addiction!

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a pale-faced youth standing at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant.

Qin Mo stood up and walked out, looking the youth up and down.

He wore a school uniform that had been washed until it was faded, along with a pair of thin trousers.

Qin Mo found it strange; it was already nearly December, and with this outfit... wasn't he cold?

"Are you the netizen from my livestream who needs help?"

The youth smiled shyly upon hearing this.

"Hello, Brother Mo, my name is Cheng Xiaoguang."

Qin Mo nodded at this.

"Let's go, let's talk inside."

After saying this, Qin Mo walked toward the Chinese restaurant, only to find that Cheng Xiaoguang had not followed.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you waiting for? Come in!"

Cheng Xiaoguang lowered his head to look at his outfit and said somewhat cautiously, "Brother Mo... can I go into such a high-end restaurant?"

"Won't they kick me out?"

Qin Mo fell silent upon hearing this... He really didn't know what he had been through, for him to be so cautious about doing anything...

"It's fine, come on in."

Cheng Xiaoguang nodded, then looked around before following Qin Mo inside.

Once they reached the restaurant, Cheng Xiaoguang was so restrained that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Watching Cheng Xiaoguang's reaction, Qin Mo said calmly, "Tell me about it! How did your father get addicted to gambling, and how long has he been losing?"

Cheng Xiaoguang summoned his courage and raised his head upon hearing this.

"It happened half a year ago. A man named Cleaner said he could lead my father to earn big money. Even though our whole family strongly opposed it, my father seemed possessed and followed Cleaner without hesitation."

"About a month later, my father returned home. We asked him how much money he made, but he wouldn't say. Later, he became unusually interested in gambling."

"In less than a few months, our family savings were squandered by my father. Later, he even lost an apartment. My mother got sick from anger and was hospitalized, and now my father actually wants to take the money for her hospital stay."

At this point, Cheng Xiaoguang's mood became dejected.

Hearing this, Qin Mo and the others fell silent...

If anyone in a family gets hooked on this stuff, it can destroy the family, let alone for people like them who were just at the bottom of society...

At this moment, Qin Mo fell into deep thought.

It was clear that Cheng Xiaoguang's father had been brainwashed and set up.

Gamblers are all like this; the more they lose, the more they want to win it back, until they eventually lose everything and their family is destroyed. It's just human nature.

They use this point to cause countless families to be destroyed.

Now, they needed to find a way to find this man named Cleaner. He was the key, and only by getting the money back would it work.

"Bang!"

Qin Shaojie suddenly slammed the table hard, giving everyone a fright.

"They are truly the parasites of Sea City! They should really be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Qin Mo looked at him in surprise; he hadn't expected him to have such a strong sense of justice...

Qin Shaojie looked at Cheng Xiaoguang with a serious expression: "Continue, how did your father meet this person named Cleaner?"

"I'm not too sure either. I heard that this person named Cleaner seems to be from an organization, I heard it's called: Smiley Face."

Smiley Face?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.

They had never heard of this organization.

Qin Mo even took out his phone and used hacker techniques to search for it, but strangely, there was no information about this organization online, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Mo said calmly, "Let's go! First, let's break your father's gambling addiction and see if we can get anything out of his mouth."

Cheng Xiaoguang was somewhat shocked upon hearing this: "Brother Mo! Can you help my father quit his gambling addiction?"

You have to know, his whole family had tried all sorts of strange methods to get his father to quit, and his mother had even threatened to divorce his father if he gambled again. Even then, his father still ignored it and couldn't quit no matter what.

Qin Mo smiled slightly and didn't say much: "Just watch me; I have my own tricks!"

Cheng Xiaoguang nodded; this was the only option for now.

The group sat in Qin Shaojie's mercedes-benz g-class and headed toward Cheng Xiaoguang's home.

...

Before long, they arrived near a remote village in Sea City.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Xiaoguang led Qin Mo and the others along a dilapidated street for about ten minutes, arriving at a rented building.

It was afternoon, and pedestrians around were watching from the side. After all, being able to drive a mercedes-benz g-class obviously meant they weren't simple figures.

"Xiaoguang, are these your friends?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked over and asked curiously.

"Yes, Auntie Chen, they are all my friends."

The middle-aged woman looked the group up and down, her face filled with sorrow: "I can tell you are all children from wealthy families. This child Xiaoguang has a hard life! The family had just started to get a little better, and now he's stuck with a gambling-addicted father. Sigh~"

"If you can, I hope you can help him."

Qin Mo nodded upon hearing this; they had come this time precisely to help Cheng Xiaoguang.

"Auntie, do you know how Cheng Xiaoguang's father got addicted to gambling? When did he start gambling?"

The middle-aged woman lowered her head to think for a moment upon hearing this and said slowly, "Gambling? It's been about half a year."

"My husband and Xiaoguang's father were quite good friends. I heard him say that ever since Xiaoguang's gambling-addicted father went to the East City half a year ago, he became like this after coming back."

"When he first went to East City, he even wanted to drag my husband along. Fortunately, my husband didn't go; otherwise, who knows what would have happened."

Qin Mo frowned upon hearing this.

East City?

Seeing that Qin Mo wasn't speaking, the middle-aged woman smiled slightly: "I won't disturb you youngsters anymore; I'll be going first."

After saying this, the middle-aged woman turned and left.

Watching the middle-aged woman leave, Qin Mo said calmly, "Let's go! Let's go see your father first."

Cheng Xiaoguang nodded.

Then he led Qin Mo to a dilapidated rented room.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of alcohol wafted out. The small room, less than fifty square meters, was piled with miscellaneous items, to the point where there wasn't even a place to step.

The group frowned in unison.

Cheng Xiaoguang revealed a helpless smile: "Ever since my father got addicted to gambling, he hasn't been working, and he's made the house a mess..."

Cheng Xiaoguang's tone was very dejected, but everyone didn't hear him blaming his father.

"Running around messing about all day, where is the money at home? Take it out quickly! I burned incense today, I will definitely win it back!"

Just at this moment, an angry scolding sound came.

A slovenly middle-aged man walked out, his eyes still bleary with sleep.

Upon seeing Qin Mo and the others, he immediately frowned.

"Who are you? What are you doing coming to my house? Let me tell you! I don't have money to pay off my debts right now. If you lend me another hundred thousand, I'll pay you back double after I win it back! No, triple!"

Everyone's expressions darkened upon hearing this.

This Gambler in front of them, to anyone looking, was already beyond saving; this illness was truly too severe.

Cheng Xiaoguang looked at Qin Mo helplessly, wanting to see what methods Qin Mo had.

Qin Mo looked at Qin Shaojie on the side and said calmly, "Give me the car keys."

"Huh?"

Qin Shaojie was stunned for a moment, but still handed the car keys to the mercedes-benz g-class to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo picked up the car keys, weighed them in his hand, and looked at the middle-aged man with a look of contempt.

"I'll gamble with you! Bring out your best skill, use any method you like. As long as you can win against me once, this car is yours!"
