Chapter 57: The Price of Greed

The gears of time don't stop turning because of life's little things.

Finally got rid of Xiao Xiaosheng, and Wu Tian returned to the pawnshop.

There was still so much to take care of for him.

"Are you here so early?" Wu Tian came to the door of the pawnshop and saw a man who had been waiting here for a long time.

When I got closer, I found that it was Ang Lee.

"Former director, it's so early, the small shop is really not well entertained."

"Hmph, don't pretend to be fake."

"Come in and talk, is it funny to be stunned at the door?" Wu Tian pushed open the pawnshop and walked in.

Li Anxin couldn't think of entering the tiger's den, so he followed the tiger.

The moment he walked into the Wutian pawnshop, he felt like Wright at the beginning that a pair of eyes seemed to be peeking at him in the dark.

Obviously, the pawnshop is inside and out, with an unobstructed view, but you can clearly feel a murderous aura.

Ang Lee knew that this could never come from Wu Tian, and there was something strange about this pawnshop.

What kind of monster is this?

Ang Lee had to be vigilant.

Jin, who was hiding in the shadows, recognized Ang Lee, so he shielded his breath, and this murderous aura gradually dissipated.

"Say, come to me for what?" Wu Tian put a cup of freshly brewed Tieguanyin in front of Li An.

"You still have to tie the bell to the bell, I hope you can let that junior go."

"Hehe, the former director, you really know how to tell jokes."

"It's just a matter of course to repay debts, where there is a let go or not, and there is an economic dispute between me and him personally, whether you are the director or not, you have no right to intervene."

"However, we are in business, we can give you a face, interest and principal are in place, what to say, I am a serious businessman."

"I expected you to say that, and you still look like you're looking at money." Li An threw a bundle of banknotes in front of Wu Tian.

"Former Director, the positive side of this world needs your integrity, but the dark side of this world will take advantage of your kindness."

"So what?"

"Too many people in this world are trapped in the swamp of greed, how many people like you can and how much can they help? The more people like you show up, the better our business will be. ”

"The top of the pyramid of success is certainly tempting, but nine out of ten young people nowadays have problems with self-awareness, and they don't have any skills but want to start a business, thinking about getting rich overnight, and I just harvest this group of leeks instead of others." Looking at Li An's appearance as a bad person, Wu Tian was a little angry.

"Hmph, it's not people like you who lead and incite them down this path."

"Are you wrong, for example, there are fewer women who think they are good-looking, but go to bars or other high-end places and use their bodies to seduce successful people?"

"You only see their superficial greed for money, unscrupulous means for money, and use their bodies to flatter them, but you can't see the so-called successful people who use this characteristic of their greed to wantonly play with their bodies, and when they are sober, they suddenly find that they are just a landscape in people's lives, what is the use of a few words of abuse, if you want to blame yourself, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer."

"Only a small part can be sober, and most of them continue to fall into the cycle and continue to bury their youth."

"This world is like this, people are born greedy, and if there is greed, there is comparison, compared to the high-sounding hypocrisy, I just belong to the cunning of the open."

"A reminder from the heart, you can't help much with such a person."

The meaning revealed in Wu Tian's words, how could Li An not know, Tie Guanyin, who drank the teacup in his hand in one gulp, left thoughtfully.

......

Wright, who had no sleep all night, thought about suicide countless times, and finally held back when he thought of his grandfather in the countryside.

It was Wright's longest night.

For Ang Lee, Wright didn't have much hope at all, and as the minutes passed, it felt like the sky was about to fall.

"I was wrong."

Wright looked at himself in front of the mirror and lost his former look.

"Is this still me?"

is just a failure, and he looks like he is not a human being, a ghost or a ghost.

Wright began to understand why some people would take the stress and commit suicide or bewitching behavior.

Bell bell bell.

The phone rang suddenly.

"Did you find me so soon?" Wright was helpless.

Looking at the phone that kept ringing, Wright didn't dare to answer it at all.

Money, naturally, is gone.

If you take it, it's just a matter of being intimidated or scolded, and if that solves the problem, how about a few more times.

……

"What's going on? Why won't you answer my phone? Is something wrong? Li An on the other end of the phone was very anxious.

For a while, there was no personal address for Wright, so he made another phone call.

……

"What's ringing, it's annoying!"

Wright stood up and tossed his phone aside.

Because of the excessive force, the whole phone was shattered to the ground.

"If it's broken, it's broken." Wright said with a calm face.

People who don't have a heart don't feel distressed.

……

"Oops, nothing really really happened, right?"

"Kim, can you find that guy's location?"

"It should be, but it will take a little time."

……

Lying in bed, Wright couldn't sleep at all.

The head was constantly buzzing.

"If only time stood still forever at this moment, and there would be no one to collect the debt."

The rental house in which Wright lived was seven stories high, and he lived on the second floor of it.

"Hmph, it's not high enough." Glancing out the window, Wright said.

If you jump from here, you will only have a broken arm and a missing leg at most.

The rest of your life will only be harder and become a burden to your family.

What's the point of living like this?

Desperation drove him to open the door and walk up the stairs.

One can imagine what Wright was going to do.

"I was wrong."

"I was wrong."

"I was wrong."

……

Wright muttered to himself as he walked.

Whether it is the spirit or the will, every step is like a shard of glass, slowly shattering into thousands of pieces.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing oneself.

No one in the hallway noticed the inconspicuous teenager.

Wright, who was standing on the top of the building, looked at the white clouds in the sky.

"Once upon a time, I was as free as you." Wright couldn't help but feel a little envious.

A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and thunder rumbled in his ears.

A torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky.

"Let's go down a little bigger." Wright stood upright, letting the rain wash over him.

"That's the end of it."

Wright's thin figure stood on the balcony at the top of the building, and the situation was very dangerous.

"Wait a minute."

It was at this critical juncture that Ang Lee finally arrived.

To be continued......
