Chapter 155 - Idiot

And the house..

.Shi Yong's mental state, which was already on the verge of collapse, crumbled.

He had even mortgaged the house to the bank, but now, there was no way he could repay the bank loan! So after the company went bankrupt, he reckoned that he would not be able to live in this house anymore!

How did this happen?

Shi Yong felt as if his body and soul had separated, and he could hardly hear Qu Li's berating.

Oh right, there was still the loan!

At that time, the company was short of money, and he didn't know what to di. He remembered that Xing Er once mentioned that he could borrow from loan sharks. That's he where he got the ten million needed.

More than ten million borrowed from the loan shark... Shi Yong's vision went black and he almost choked.

What should he do now? He definitely could not pay back the money. He knew just how vicious the loan sharks were. He didn't want to die just yet!

In just two days, the Shi Corporation was completely paralyzed. The employees heard rumors that the company was going bankrupt. It was very likely that the boss wouldn't even be able to pay their wages and the employees resigned one after another.

The factory had already been on strike for many days. The Shi Corporation still owed the factory workers several months' wages. Now, a group of workers who wanted to collect debts had surrounded Shi Yong's house.

The Shi Corporation finally declared bankruptcy.

Shi Yong himself had no choice but to move out of the house with his wife and daughter.

However, the night before he moved out of the Shi family's house, Shi Yong received a call in the middle of the night.

"Shi Yong, open the door." The voice on the phone was cold and gloomy, like a ghost.

He was already outside the house?

Shi Yong was scared out of his wits. He turned his head and saw that his wife was already asleep. Only then did Shi Yong carefully get up and walk downstairs to open the door. As expected, a man wearing an electrician's maintenance uniform stood outside the door.

"You..." Shi Yong guessed the identity of the person, but he wasn't sure why he came.

The man in the maintenance uniform raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of triangular eyes hidden behind a baseball cap.

"The organization gave you money so you can go bankrupt?" The man's voice was extremely sinister.

Shi Yong was so scared that his legs almost collapsed, he hurriedly explained, "I had no choice. The company's cashflow is stuck and the employees either resigned or went on strike. I still don't have the money to pay wages. A few days ago, there was a group of debt collectors outside. This house was also mortgaged to the bank. If I have a solution, do you think this will happen?"

"Idiot." The man merely gave a one-word response.

He did not understand why the organization would allow this idiot to remain.

However, since it was said that Shi Yong was still useful, he could only take the risk to send the message.

The man endured his disdain for Shi Yong and whispered a few words into Shi Yong's ear.

After Shi Yong heard it, he did not know whether he should feel lucky or scared, but he knew that he could not reject every word that the man in front of him said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. Please rest assured. I will definitely not make a mistake this time." Shi Yong bowed his body and sent the man away. He turned around and wiped the sweat on his forehead with some lingering fear.

He was shocked to find a pair of white skirt by the stairs.

"Xiao Xiao... You almost scared Daddy to death! Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shi Xiao's lips curled into a mocking smile. "How can I sleep knowing that our house is gone? I heard some movement outside, so I came out to take a look. I thought you were going to look for that mistress again."

From Qu Li's mouth, Shi Xiao had already learned how her father had ruined the family business step by step, and even betrayed his family.

After being ridiculed by his daughter, Shi Yong was also a little embarrassed. He wanted to return to the bedroom. 

"Who was that person just now?" Shi Xiao asked when she saw that Shi Yong was about to leave.

"You shouldn't have asked. Shhh," Shi Yong said in a deep voice.

"Is it someone from that place?" Shi Xiao looked at Shi Yong with a sharp gaze, as if she had already seen through everything.

Shi Yong knew that his daughter had interacted with those people before, so it should not be possible to hide it now, he could only sigh. "Yes, those people... probably think that I'm still useful, so they let me live this time. Xiao Xiao, I hope you'll stay away from those people. I've already regretted enough getting involved with them in my life. I don't want you to repeat my mistakes."

After hearing Shi Yong's words, Shi Xiao didn't seem frightened. The expression on her face was still very indifferent.

Those people's influence must be very strong. Perhaps, it was even stronger than the four great families.

Her father was cowardly and afraid of death. He was weak and incompetent, so he was unable to do what they wanted. However, if she could do things for those people, presumably, she would be able to obtain quite a lot of benefits.

Shi Xiao's eyes flashed with a dark light.

The next day, Shi Yong's family packed up their things and moved into their new home.
