"This happened seven days ago, I was in Yang City dealing with the aftermath of Zhang Yulian's death. The elders insisted that I find the person responsible. But where could I find them? I was so pressured that I couldn't even return to the village. Besides, the last time Zhang Yulian and I were caught in bed, I lost all my dignity. Where could I return to?"
"I was very upset, and just at that time, I met a fellow card player who offered to take me to an underground casino to see the world."
"Feeling troubled, I followed him, couldn't resist, and gambled a couple of times. I won several tens of thousands in the first two times and got addicted. On the third day, I lost all the winnings and even my life's savings, over 300,000, it was all gone. I, I couldn't accept it, and it was my emergency fund. I ended up using the charitable funds from the village."
"And then, and then..."
Wu Damming said with his head lowered, unable to continue.
