This was a profoundly desperate feeling, as if soone was literally choking his throat, leaving him unable to utter a single word.
Shi Lingyan suddenly began to realize that this place didn’t seem like hell ought to be.
It could be said to be heaven, but not quite.
He didn’t feel any pain, but neither did he feel a shred of joy.
During his ti here, all he had felt was emptiness and boredom.
He had a strange intuition; he might not be dead yet, he might still be alive.
This realization left Shi Lingyan sowhat at a loss.
He exerted all his strength to scream, to respond, but he couldn’t move at all.
He was very desperate.
Shi Lingyan had tried many ways, and just when he was about to give up, he heard his grandmother’s voice, Yun Du’s voice, and... a voice that didn’t belong to Shi i, yet they called this person Shi i, Miss Shi.
Shi Lingyan listened intently to their conversation.
He heard their dissatisfaction with the Shi Family, as well as his grandmother’s fury and hatred, but what moved him the most was the phrase: "So people never grow up, there always has to be a way to make them grow up."
This phrase was always on the lips of Tang Wu’s father, Tang Huai Zhang, who was also his superior officer in the military.
His most vivid mory of Tang Huai Zhang was when he had just enlisted and Commander Tang, dressed in a starched military uniform and wearing a formidable, upright cap, sternly told the fresh recruits below, "With , there are no children, no elders. So people should not expect to weaken their responsibilities by citing their inexperience or young age! So people never grow up, but I always have a way to make them grow up properly!"
Tang Wu would occasionally utter this phrase too, and now, the woman they referred to as ’Shi i,’ who had a voice very similar to ’Senior Sister,’ had also spoken these words.
Was this a coincidence?
No, it couldn’t be a coincidence.
Shi Lingyan wanted to go out, break out and stop her, to properly question her, ask her who she really was!
But no matter how much he struggled and scread, he couldn’t break out.
Shi Lingyan rarely felt so frustrated, but at this mont, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
-
The Shi Family had reached a dead end.
They had never expected to be so unlucky!
Shi Yunchang had gotten an investnt of 10 million from Baiyue dia, and they had poured it all into a newly discovered business opportunity.
But in just under two months, not only had they lost everything, but due to the workers’ collective protests and absconding, they needed to pay a high penalty fee to their partners.
These penalty fees, accumulated from several parties, amounted to as high as 40 to 50 million!
In their desperation, they sought a bank loan, but due to their previous credit issues, they could only secure 30 million.
The remaining nearly 20 million, after Shi Xuebai had unsuccessfully sought to borrow and being pressed by creditors, had no choice but to turn to a loan shark.
They had originally hoped to scrape up so money from Shi i to cover this gap, but unfortunately, just at this ti, Shi Lingyan and Shi i both had a car accident.
This essentially cut off their ans of survival!
Nowadays, the loan sharks had co several tis to collect interest; initially, they could still cover a bit and begged for a few days of grace.
They had hoped that everything would be fine once Shi i woke up, but unexpectedly, Shi i had beco a murderer, under custody for investigation!
No matter how urgent their need, they dared not get involved with a murderer!
