#687 - Chapter 687: Watching ghosts howling? An emergency occurred, the banker refused to pay!
Chen Hao's speed was too fast!
So fast that Zhao Daqiang didn't have time to react.
He grabbed Sun Yue, abruptly pulling him behind himself, while simultaneously kicking out.
Bang!
Zhao Daqiang failed to catch the phone.
The whole person was kicked more than two meters away, flying backwards.
In the next moment.
Chen Hao's other hand caught the phone in mid-air, before it hit the ground.
The entire process was smooth and fluid.
Pulling Sun Yue!
Kicking Zhao Daqiang away!
Catching the phone!
Sun Yue was completely dumbfounded.
Speed!
Power!
Precision!
The scene he just personally experienced was absolutely beyond what an ordinary person could do; it was just like an action movie!
"You lied to me..."
Zhao Daqiang roared in pain.
"Didn't lie to you."
Chen Hao glanced at him, coldly saying, "What I said is all true; your money can definitely be recovered."
Being kicked away by Chen Hao, he subconsciously thought he'd been tricked.
"But!"
Chen Hao's eyes were cold: "Recovering the money is one thing, but you committed armed robbery first—breaking the law means you must be punished!"
It's not like you can just go around robbing people because you have your own difficulties.
There's no such logic in the world.
"I..."
Zhao Daqiang gritted his teeth, staring intently at Chen Hao.
In the end.
He lowered his head, extending both hands: "As long as the money can be recovered, I... will plead guilty!"
Whoosh!
A group of National Security and Dragon Flame elites rushed over.
Previously, Chen Hao had called them, locking down Sun Yue's specific location; in other words, they had arrived long ago.
It's just that...
Chen Hao didn't let them take action.
The more people there were, the greater the pressure on Zhao Daqiang, and the more dangerous Sun Yue would be.
"Flogging it is, then."
Suddenly!
Seeing Zhao Daqiang being taken down, Chen Hao dropped a sentence: "Three lashes."
Everyone was stunned.
Including Zhao Daqiang.
Armed robbery starts at three years, so how did it become... three lashes?
Of course, no one questioned Chen Hao's decision.
Until...
"Brother Hao!"
Walking a short distance away, Sun Yue's emotions stabilized, and he couldn't help but ask: "That guy committed robbery; how come... only three lashes?"
Three lashes.
Falls within the scope of public security administration and is not included in personal records.
Compared to the serious crime of robbery, the punishment is obviously too light.
"Out of billions of people worldwide, no one could have imagined that the World Cup would end up like this."
Chen Hao smiled wryly: "Every World Cup has the possibility of an upset, but only this time... everyone believed that China would win 100 percent."
If it weren't absolutely certain, would Zhao Daqiang have borrowed money to bet?
Would he have frantically gambled everything?
Furthermore, if Chen Hao hadn't manipulated the World Cup, Zhao Daqiang would not have broken the law in this lifetime.
Fortunately!
He thought of this in time!
And contacted General Wang, resolving the issue promptly; otherwise... tonight's crime rate and suicide rate would have broken all records since the founding of the country, right?
"Wait a minute!"
Sun Yue woke up with a start: "Brother Hao, that move you just made was too amazing..."
"Let's welcome you back first."
Afterwards, he said mysteriously, "I'll give you a surprise later!"
......
More than an hour later.
Nearly nine o'clock.
The World Cup final officially ended, with China versus Brazil at a score of 1:5.
At the same time!
More than an hour ago, the country, through television, the internet, and jointly with the Hanfeng Network's various APPs, which Gong Wei was responsible for, released related news.
First, gambling on soccer was defined as illegal!
Bookmakers are guilty of crimes such as gathering people for gambling and running casinos.
Secondly.
A nationwide arrest of soccer gambling gangs will be conducted, while ordinary people who bet will be treated leniently, and if they report the bookmakers, they can also receive police rewards—the bookmakers' gambling funds will be recovered and returned to ordinary people.
Is it a case of 'the law does not punish the masses'?
No!
Like the so-called 'picking up' incident last time, no matter how many people there are, they will all be arrested!
But ordinary people, who just spent some money gambling on soccer, if they are also arrested...
The law needs to have warmth!
In short.
Bookmakers will be severely punished, while the public's participation in soccer gambling will all be treated leniently.
This is also done to encourage reporting.
On the other side.
The World Cup hadn't ended yet, but the dinner party had already ended first.
Chen Hao booked a new private room.
The girls stayed in the original private room to chat.
The boys went to the new private room.
"Brother Hao!"
Sun Yue vaguely guessed: "When I was watching the news in Chile, the gene serum in our China, is it... did you also inject it?!"
That's right!
He personally saw that Chen Hao's series of actions were by no means something that an ordinary person could accomplish.
"Yes."
Chen Hao nodded while taking out the serum.
A moment later.
The serum was drawn into the syringe.
Deng Xiaoyan and the others had already injected it, and they surrounded them with strange expressions.
"You guys have injected it already?"
Deng Xiaoyan nodded with a smile: "Injected it a long time ago."
"Then why are you still surrounding us here? I feel like... you guys are a little strange."
The fatty was very puzzled.
"It's nothing."
Suddenly!
Chen Hao pierced the needle in, injecting the serum: "They're mainly here to watch the fun."
"What fun?"
The fatty curled his lips, then became overjoyed: "Haha! Brother Hao, if I encounter something like tonight again in the future, I can easily put him..."
Before he could finish a sentence.
Instantly.
Intense pain struck!
"It hurts... damn it!"
The fatty finally understood what these guys were surrounding him for: "You guys... are not human... Awoo!"
Next, the fatty was sweating profusely from the pain, howling like a ghost.
Looking at those few...
They were watching the monkey show, and the more miserable the fatty screamed, the more excited they became.
So cheap!
Just as the fatty was screaming miserably, Chen Hao's phone rang.
"Sister?"
He pressed the answer button.
"Are you free? Come over here quickly!"
Xia Qingyan's voice was very urgent.
"Okay!"
Chen Hao got up.
Looking at the fatty who was still screaming, he said to the others: "The show's over, go home. I have something urgent to do and I'm leaving first."
......
Xia Qingyan is always very busy.
Working overtime is common.
But like today, still being at the company after 9 p.m., is relatively rare.
"Sister."
Chen Hao walked into the president's office.
Not just Xia Qingyan?
Seeing Li Ju, Chen Hao hurriedly said, "Aunt, you're here too?"
"One good news, one bad news."
Li Ju went straight to the point.
"Please speak."
"The good news is..."
Li Ju brought over a document: "The odds are different on each global betting site. I just finished the overall calculation. The total investment is 1.35 trillion, and the principal and profits combined—exceed 12 trillion!"
That's right!
No one expected China to lose.
Which caused Brazil's odds to be ridiculously high!
In the beginning.
Hanteng Group transferred more than 500 billion, and the profits in the China and North American group stages had already exceeded onefold, with funds soaring to over one trillion.
All in for the final!
Profits exceeding ten trillion!
"The bad news is..."
Li Ju smiled wryly.
"Many aren't honoring the payouts?"
Chen Hao asked.
"That's right!"
Xia Qingyan took over the conversation, smiling helplessly: "As soon as the match ended, we contacted all the betting sites. Only a few paid out immediately, and most... either refused directly or couldn't be contacted."
In the China and North American group stages, because the strength gap wasn't too big, China's odds were slightly higher.
Besides.
That was the first match, okay?
The bookmakers still wanted to make money from the later matches.
In short, that time, the payouts were made very quickly.
But this time...
The odds are too high!
Hanteng Capital's stakes were also large, with bets being made in units of hundreds of millions.
Discovering that the funds came from abroad, many bookmakers became greedy and simply defaulted.
