Yeager, wasn't he the guy who won big at the casino that day and then lost everything in the end?

Is he related to this shipyard owner?

After hearing this, the shipyard owner said a few words to the clerk first, and the clerk turned around and left. Then the shipyard owner said to Ryan and Aslan: "I'm really sorry, two guests. Something happened here today, this deal It may need to be postponed for a while. Please bear with me. Do you two have a place to stay? How about I arrange a place for you to stay? "

Ryan did not answer the shipyard boss, but asked: "Boss Dave, what happened?"

"Hey! It's nothing. There's just something wrong with a worker in the factory, and he needs my help. If you two bosses don't mind waiting, please go upstairs and have a cup of tea and take a rest."

"Is it Yeager?" Ryan said the name directly.

"Um, you know him?"

Ryan nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look too."

"It's in my office." The boss didn't object and walked out of the dock. Ryan followed. Aslan stood there for a while and followed.

The shipyard boss's office was now crowded with people inside and outside. When they saw the shipyard boss coming, they all made way for the shipyard boss. The shipyard owner walked in, while Ryan and Aslan stopped outside the door and observed the situation inside through the window.

Ryan saw Yeager, whom he had met at the casino a few days ago, lying on the sofa in the office. His whole body was covered in blood and he was already in a dying state. When he saw the shipyard boss arriving, he opened his eyes suddenly, struggled excitedly, and stretched out his right hand. The shipyard boss stepped forward quickly, held his right hand, and squatted in front of the sofa. Then the two talked quietly, and Yeager looked excited. I don’t know what was said, but Ryan was too far away from the two of them to hear clearly. Just seeing the shipyard boss finally nodding his head, Yeager seemed to have fulfilled his request and his wish was fulfilled. In the end, Yeager's eyes gradually lost their luster, his head fell on the sofa, and his whole body was no longer alive. Seeing this, Aslan outside the window took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath.

The shipyard owner closed his eyes for Yeager, released his hold on Yeager, stood up slowly, said a few words to the people around him, and then walked out of the house. Ryan took the opportunity to walk up and ask: "Boss Dave, what's going on with Yeager?"

The shipyard owner glanced at Ryan and said, "Do you know Yeager gambles?"

"Ok, I know"

The shipyard owner lit a cigarette and slowly said: "Yeager is the best shipwright here. He has contributed a lot to what I have here today. It's a pity that he got into gambling. Ten years ago , because he was addicted to gambling, his family lost everything and was in debt. In the end, his wife ran away, leaving only him and a five-year-old daughter. Later, he asked me for help and vowed to quit gambling. I helped him and he didn’t gamble again after that.”

The shipyard owner paused, took another breath, and continued: "Ten years have passed peacefully like this, and his daughter has gradually grown up. But recently, for some reason, he started gambling again. Unexpectedly, a few days ago , after he lost all his money, he actually loaned his house to a gangster and borrowed a loan shark for gambling. He lost all his money and the loan shark could not repay the loan. The gangster said he didn’t want the house but only wanted the money, but selling the house would take time. In the end, it took just five days As time goes by, the interest keeps increasing. I originally borrowed 9 and repaid 13, but now it has rolled to 416 million. Today, the gang came to visit, and they happened to see his daughter Sylvie coming home from the restaurant where she worked as a cook, and they said they would arrest Sylvie. Go and sell it as a slave to pay off the debt. Yeager still had some conscience at least and refused to die. The gangsters beat him up severely and then took Sylvie away. Before leaving, they said they would take 500 million Bailey went to redeem someone. Yeager just crawled all the way to me and wanted me to help him redeem Sylvie. I agreed."

After finishing speaking, the shipyard owner took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. He took a long breath of smoke before looking up at Lane and said, "Mr. Lane, let's go and complete the deal now. I don't have that much here." The only cash available is the money from the transaction to redeem Sylvie."

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked outside, but Aslan still stood there and did not move.

Ryan noticed that Aslan did not follow him, turned around and said: "Aslan, follow me."

Aslan remained motionless, now thinking on the spot, as if caught in a huge struggle.

Ryan walked closer and asked in a low voice: "Aslan, what's wrong? What happened?"

Aslan lowered his head and said, "Mr. Lane, I, I want to rescue that girl."

"We just complete the deal and then let the boss redeem the person."

"No, I don't mean that. I want to break into the gang and rescue her. That Yeager lost so miserably was largely due to Mr. Larry, and I was also an accomplice. And he was obviously found by Mr. Larry The shill instigated him to gamble again, but the girl named Sylvie suffered an unreasonable disaster, and boss Dave also lost a lot of money. I just looked at the man named Yeager, and I felt a little sorry. .”

After Aslan finished speaking, he didn't hear Ryan's response for a long time. He raised his head and saw Ryan looking at him with a smile.

Ryan raised his hand and patted Aslan on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Aslan, I'm glad you can say that. I believe you used to be a kind-hearted person, but suffering has hardened your heart. . And now, I can still see your kind heart."

Ryan was happy, really happy. If Aslan still feels nothing after witnessing the whole thing, then Ryan can only treat him as a trusted subordinate in the future, rather than a partner who can live and die together. Because in his previous life, as an ordinary person named Ryan who grew up in a peaceful and stable environment where most people had good intentions, his partners could have different personalities, but the most important thing was to have good intentions.

This is a test, a test of Aslan's humanity. Ryan noticed something unusual about Aslan from the beginning: whether it was his hesitant steps in the dock or his heavy smoking outside the office. Ryan could see Aslan's mental struggle. Ryan deliberately didn't point it out, just waiting for Aslan to take the initiative to say to him, "I feel so sorry and I want to save her."

Aslan passed Ryan's test. He did not become cold-blooded because of his past experience, and still had a kind heart. Ryan was happy with that. Moreover, in Ryan's heart, everyone can punish this evil force.

Ryan turned to the shipyard owner and said loudly: "Boss Dave, the transaction is on hold, but we will help you rescue Sylvie."

Ryan looked at Aslan, and then at Yeager, who was lying on the sofa in the office - a man who relied on his strong obsession to crawl to the shipyard's office for help when he was about to die. Maybe Yeager didn't deserve sympathy, but Lane saw the glory of humanity at the end of his life.
