"Ah! Dad! — — "
Ye Xuan, who was in the room, only heard Chu Jie's mournful cry outside the door, and then he ran out.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xuan put on the shoes in front of the bed and stood up. Then he walked out of the room. He intended to see what was going on.
After walking out of the room, Ye Xuan discovered that not only was the room he lived in old, but the entire house was also very old. It was similar to an old house from the 70s and 80s. It was not like what Ye Xuan saw when he came to Macau before.
But thinking about it, the current era should be in the 100s. Although Macau was now also regarded as a world-class gambling city, it was still incomparable to Macau with its rapid economic development and high-rise buildings.
Stepping out of the door, he saw some people trotting in one direction. They were discussing as they ran, "What a sin.
It was originally a good family, but because of gambling, his wife ran away with him. Now, he wants to jump off a building. Ai … "
"Isn't it so? But I think the most pitiful one is Chu Jie. It doesn't matter if Chu Yaozong dies, but Chu Jie is such a clever and sensible girl. If her father dies, what will she do?"
"If Chu Yaozong dies like this, won't Chu Jie have to pay for the debts he owes?"
"I heard that Chu Yaozong already owes people five or six hundred thousand yuan outside. People said that if he doesn't pay it today, they will dig out his kidney and sell it. They will also use his daughter to pay off the debt."
"Yes, those loan sharks are inhumane. I heard that there was a person in the neighboring village who also owed a lot of debt and died. As a result, those people found the family of that person. The man was pulled out to dig out his internal organs and sold, and the woman was sold to a hair salon to be a prostitute …"
Listening to the neighbors' chatter along the way, Ye Xuan understood what happened. It was nothing more than gambling and jumping off a building because of debt.
For this kind of person, Ye Xuan was also very disgusted. It was fine if they didn't recognize the reality. But they didn't repent. After harming others and themselves, they wanted to die and push the blame to the people behind them. If it weren't for Chu Jie's kindness, Ye Xuan would have turned around and left immediately. This kind of person's death was not worthy of sympathy.
Following these people, they soon saw the rooftop of a five-story industrial building. A withered middle-aged man was sitting at the edge of the corner of the house. There was a bottle of wine beside him. The middle-aged man's legs were swinging in the air. Behind him, several middle-aged men were standing on the rooftop and cautiously persuading him. Below him was a large group of neighbors. The person standing at the front was Chu Jie, who had just run out.
"Dad, come down quickly. Come down quickly. I don't want you to die …"
"Dad, don. don. Come down. What do you want me to do? "
Chu Jie stood below the crowd and looked up at the middle-aged man standing on the edge of the rooftop with tears streaming down her face. Her voice was so mournful that anyone who heard it couldn't help but be moved.
"Yeah, Old Chu, you can't die. You have to think about your daughter. What will happen to her if you die?"
"Chu, don't take it too hard. What's the matter? We can discuss it. "
"Yeah, Chu, if it's money, let's pool it together. We can pay it back with a little. Don't take it too hard! "
The neighbors standing below also followed suit and loudly comforted him.
"Aiyo, it's so crowded here!"
At this time, a voice filled with schadenfreude suddenly came from outside the crowd. Then, seven or eight men with round arms and thick arms walked over from outside the crowd. Some of them even had swords and sticks on their bodies.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a debt collector before?" A few muscular men glared at the people who were looking over. They pushed the crowd in front of them and walked in.
Seeing these people being so rude, the neighbors were angry but didn't dare to say anything. They all retreated to the side.
Ye Xuan, who was on the other side of the crowd, frowned at the sight of those burly men who had suddenly shown up. A sharp light flashed across his eyes.
"Hey, Chu Yaozong, are you going to jump off the building?" Walking in front of these burly men was a middle-aged man with shoulder-length hair who looked like a hooligan. He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the edge of the rooftop. From his tone, it was as if he was greeting someone during a meal rather than a life-and-death situation.
Chu Yaozong, who was sitting upstairs, looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared. His face suddenly trembled, "Brother Dao, what, what are you guys doing here?"
"What?" Seeing Chu Yaozong's panicked face, Brother Dao sneered, "What else? You borrowed money from the company and didn't pay it back. You still have the balls to ask I why I'm here? Anyway, I also know that you have no money. If you want to jump, do it quickly. If you die, we brothers won't dirty our hands. "
"Yeah, jump quickly. I still need to go back and pick up girls!"
"That's right. I only opened half a bottle of wine. Jump quickly. Don't delay I from going back to drink."
"Hurry up. Motherf * cker, I just bought a bag of powder. I'm not satisfied yet!"
The other bulky hoodlums also jeered. Looking at their playful faces, they didn't seem to care about human life at all.
Seeing that these gangsters were so arrogant and didn't care about human life, the surrounding crowd suddenly became angry and shouted angrily, "How can you do this? This person is about to jump off the building. Can't you give him a few more days?"
"That's right, this is outrageous!"
"These people are too inhumane."
… …
"What are you guys doing? You guys want to pay for him?" Seeing the surrounding crowd pointing at them, Brother Dao's face showed a disdainful smile. He turned around and looked at the crowd gloomily, shouting, "Who wants to pay for him? Step out now. It's not much. It's only 830,000 yuan."
"830,000 yuan?!" Hearing Brother Dao's words, the originally angry crowd immediately became silent. 830,000 yuan at this time was equivalent to 5-6 million yuan in the future. These people were all ordinary people. How could they have the money to pay for it?
"If you don't want to pay for him, then don't talk nonsense to I here. Since ancient times, a life for a life, a debt for a life. Who the f * ck dares to talk nonsense to I? I can recognize you, but I's knife doesn't!" Brother Dao took out a silver knife from his pocket and said.
"Impossible. I, I only borrowed 500,000 yuan. How did it become 830,000 yuan?" Sitting on the roof, Chu Yaozong heard Brother Dao's words and said with a face full of fear.
"You f * cking think that our company is a charity? Back then, when you f * cking borrowed money, it was written in black and white. I don't want to talk nonsense with you now. If you want to jump, hurry up. If you don't jump, hurry up and come back with me. I'll dig out your organs and sell them. Don't waste my time. I'll count to five. If you don't jump, I'll go up and catch you. One, two … "
"You, you guys …" Hearing that Brother Dao was going to catch him and dig out his organs, Chu Yaozong's face turned pale. Looking at the knives and sticks in those people's hands, his body couldn't help but move forward. Just a little bit more and he would fall from the roof.
"No, dad …" Chu Jie cried in fear.
"Xiao Jie, dad is sorry!" Looking at his daughter who was crying helplessly, Chu Yaozong's face was full of pain. Two streams of tears flowed out of his eyes. Then he closed his eyes and exerted force on his hands. His entire body instantly fell from the roof …
