Chapter 304: I Must Die

When Li Yadong climbed to the roof of the Dedu Department Store, there were already a lot of people gathered here.

The Chu River and the Han border are clearly distinguished.

A large group of people gathered at the top of the staircase, only one of them looked lonely, holding a half-drunk bottle of Chivas Regal, sitting on the cement pier on the outermost part of the building, half of his body already hanging in the air.

"Boss, there is something to discuss, it doesn't matter if you lose money, as long as people live, there is hope!"

"Yes, boss, it's normal to make money in business, don't think about it!"

"You have to think clearly, when a person dies, there is nothing!"

These people should all be employees of Dedu Department Store, and it can be seen that Huang Deping is usually quite popular, and most of them are kindly persuading.

Of course, there are several discordant voices.

"The surname Huang, you have jumped a hundred, what about us, it will be the end of the year soon, and we don't expect the year-end bonus promised before, but this month's salary, it should be settled, right?"

"That is, don't think that it's not easy for you alone, you are mixed to this point today, you can only blame yourself, the company is obviously running well, and has been maintaining a profitable state, you are not satisfied, see that others have made money in the stock market, see what they do, and transfer all the funds to the stock market. It's not just your money, it's our hard-earned money!"

"I'll call you boss one last time, please settle our salary for this month, and then you have to jump off the building to think, whatever you want. We also have to support our family, we have worked hard for a month, we can't get a penny, and we can't even pay the rent for what the family eats and drinks!"

In the face of these voices, whether good or bad, Huang Deping ignored them all, and sat on the wall pier with blank eyes.

No one dared to walk over without permission, after all, it was a matter of human life, and no one wanted to wade into this muddy water.

"Huang Deping!"

At this moment, a stranger suddenly squeezed out of the gap and came to everyone.

"Huh?" Suddenly hearing this voice, Huang Deping, who was sitting on the pier of the wall, was obviously surprised, and turned his head slightly.

Then, there was a wry smile, "Hello, Mr. Li." I didn't expect to see you at the last moment of my life. ”

Li Yadong listened to him speak very organized, and he couldn't help but be sure in his heart, at least he was quite sober.

Otherwise, if it is really the kind that is already crazy, no matter how much he persuades, he is afraid that it will be useless.

"The stock is losing?" Li Yadong tried to find out the crux of the problem.

When it came to this stubble, Huang Deping was worried for a while, and after pouring a sip of wine, he laughed miserably: "Yes, it's a loss, it's all a loss, my hard work for more than ten years has been burned! Nothing, nothing......"

"It doesn't matter if the money is gone, how old are you, I see that you are only thirty-three or four-year-old when you die, at least the company is still there, start all over again, the road ahead is still very long, don't think about it." ”

"Company?" Li Yadong didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, Huang Deping's expression became even more sad, "How can there be any other company? It will be seized soon, not only the company, but also my home, all of which will be seized and then auctioned, and it is not enough...... I really have nothing left, nothing left......"

Things are even worse than Li Yadong imagined, but think about it, if there is still a way to go, who would think of finding a short-term view.

Huang Deping obviously not only lost all his net worth, but also owed a large amount of money, a sum of money that he was not confident to repay.

"You really have nothing, you should also think about your family, don't you think you are too selfish to do this?

Li Yadong decided to convince him from a different angle, even if he owed more money, it was impossible for the creditor to think about forcing him to death, and pay it back slowly, people can still repay the money while they are alive, what is the use of dying?

The creditor is not so stupid, but he does not have the courage to face this debt.

"Of course I thought, how could I not want to ......"

Suddenly thinking of his family and his lovely daughters, Huang Deping raised his hands and hugged his head in pain.

"It is because of them that I must die, otherwise they will follow me in the future, and there will be no peace, and I can only take them to escape debts together, and avoid those creditors who are urging them to die...... I can't give them a sense of security, I can't give them a happy life, and I can't even give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and even a full meal may be a luxury."

When he said this, he was already in tears, and suddenly looked up at Li Yadong, and said, "Mr. Li, you say...... What is the use of me as a useless husband and an unreliable father in the world? I have already hidden from Ah Xiang and asked someone to go through the divorce procedures, and all the rights and interests of the children have been given to her. In other words, they have nothing to do with me now, as long as I die, they will be completely liberated, they can start a new life, Ah Xiang is so beautiful and has a good personality, she will definitely be able to find a good man again, my two daughters, and so cute, who can not like it......?

As he spoke, he actually smiled.

Li Yadong looked at him deeply and said, "I take back what I said just now, you are not a selfish person. ”

Not only is he not selfish, it is precisely because of the depth of love and his unwillingness to drag down his wife and daughter that he made up his mind to make this jump.

Otherwise, he could have lived without dying and living a hard life of displacement with his wife and daughter.

But apparently, he didn't want his wife and daughter to accompany him to live that kind of life.

In order for his wife and daughter to have a better future, he would rather die!

Where is such a person selfish?

"Mr. Li, do you know, in fact, I am not from a wealthy family......"

Maybe it was the dying of a person, and he met a person he admired, Huang Deping suddenly mentioned his past, probably wanting to leave something in the world.

So that people know that he, Huang Deping, has also been in this world once, and he has also had his own glory.

"I was born in Jiulongzhai, my mother is a prostitute, who my father is, I still don't know, I guess, my mother probably doesn't know ......"

Huang Deping looked at the sky with his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Li Yadong glanced at him and looked very surprised, he really didn't expect that Huang Deping, who looked dignified, was actually from such a background.

The famous Kowloon Village, of course he had heard of it.

It was originally a city, but during the war of aggression against China, the Japanese occupied Hong Kong and demolished all the walls in order to expand the nullah of Kai Tak Airport. After the surrender of the Japanese and Benese, the street sleepers began to settle in the Kowloon Walled City, and in 1948, they successfully resisted the British government's entry into rectification.

With the Hong Kong police and colonial government denied access and the Chinese regime refusing to administer it, Kowloon Zhai became a hotbed of crime, a gathering place for murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and fugitives of all kinds.

By the 70s, the population of Kowloon Walled City had skyrocketed to 25,000, and 90% of Hong Kong's heroin was exported. At the same time, there are countless brothels, casinos, and dog rings of all kinds, including a large number of underground food processing factories without safety supervision, unlicensed doctors, illegal immigrants, etc., all gathered here.

The dirty and messy area here is unimaginable to outsiders, and Li Yadong also has a general understanding of Jiulongzhai through many historical materials and film and television works in the future.

Even now, Hong Kong has developed to such a point, and the history of the fall of Kowloon Zhai is still continuing.

In recent years, due to the issuance of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, the Hong Kong government has negotiated with the mainland and decided to rectify Kowloon Village, but it has been fruitless because the situation is too poor and the mafia forces are deeply rooted.

It was not until 1993 that the British government in Hong Kong could not bear it anymore and finally razed the Kowloon Walled City to the ground after dispatching 5,000 police officers and detaining nearly 10,000 people.

"I hate everything in Kowloon Village, I dream of leaving there, I have to thank my mother, although she has no culture, but she still strongly supports me to study, I am also very competitive, from primary school to high school, every homework is A, and then I was admitted to the ...... of HKU with all A's in seven subjects."

"HKU?" Li Yadong was surprised.

"How?"

"I am also a student of Hong Kong. ”

"So you're my junior. Huang Deping laughed, looking at Li Yadong's eyes, becoming softer and softer, and he could also feel glad that he met a junior before he died.

"I started from scratch, after graduating from HKU with excellent grades, it took me ten years to own my own department store and live in Victoria Peak ......."

When Huang Deping said this, there was a heroism in his expression.

He did have the qualifications to be proud, a child from the Kowloon Walled City, the dirtiest place in Hong Kong, and it only took ten years to live in Hong Kong's most prestigious and wealthy district, Victoria Peak.

What a shift this is?

It's simply a template for grassroots family history.

"You're amazing. Li Yadong said sincerely.

This is a sentence from the heart, if it were him, if he did not have the advantage of being reborn, he would definitely not be able to walk from the adobe house in his hometown and live in a big villa in the city at the age of his early thirties.

In his previous life, when he walked out of the mountains, he was already twenty-seven years old, and when he bought a 90-square-meter commercial house in the city, he was already nearly forty years old.

Don't say it's him, if it's anyone, he was born in the crime-ridden Kowloon Village, and his mother is still a prostitute, so if he doesn't die of despistion, the biggest possibility is that he is willing to fall. As for the fact that under such a bad life environment and family background, it is absolutely impossible to be angry and strive for strength without a strong heart and a strong will.

"It's a pity...... What's the use, I'm still defeated after all, stocks, stocks, I'm not defeated by people, but by God......"

Huang Deping suddenly laughed miserably, and he didn't mean to continue, because he heard the siren coming from downstairs, and when the police filled the air cushion, it was a luxury for him to want to die.

"Mr. Li, I'm glad to meet you at the end of my life, if I can, my two daughters, I hope you can help take care of one or two, I know they like you very much, you like them too, if there is an afterlife, I will be a cow and a horse, I will repay ......"

As he spoke, he threw away the empty wine bottle in his hand, stood up tremblingly, and stood on the narrow wall pier like this, facing Li Yadong, with his hands outstretched.

"Goodbye ......"
