Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Succession of Blows
For a long time, Chen Fei's world was only left to make money, he got up early in the dark and put all his spare time on work. Perhaps he was born to make money, and his business was getting better and better, so he came up with the idea of dropping out of school.
When he told Gui Shaochen about this idea, he was strongly persuaded by him.
"Brother Fei, making money is just a side hustle, we still have to finish college, and it's still a matter of getting a job in the future."
"What do we work for? Isn't it making money yet? ”
Gui Shaochen was right when he heard it, it was really like this.
Chen Fei saw that he was surrounded by himself, and suddenly smiled: "So, people live to make money and make life better, what's wrong with making money earlier?" ”
"You can't say that, do you want to set up a stall by the river for the rest of your life? If you don't want to, go to school steadily, and find a good job in the future is better than being exposed to the wind and sun every day. ”
"It's not that I'm boasting, you sit in the office for a month, and you don't make more money than I set up a stall for half a month."
After this blow, Chen Fei suddenly matured. Or rather, he learned the importance of money. Gui Shaochen persuaded a few more words, as if he didn't listen, he was quiet and didn't speak, as if he had made up his mind, no one could change it.
That night, Gui Shaochen was still in school classes, and Chen Fei went to the riverside to set up a stall by himself. Vaguely, he saw two men in black clothes walking around, he just felt familiar, but he forgot where he had seen them.
Maybe it's just an old customer, he sees so many people in a day, and he never remembers them all clearly. Chen Fei didn't think much about it and continued to shout business.
When Gui Shaochen came, he was already about to close the stall, and Gui Shaochen apologized to him embarrassedly: "I was stopped by the instructor for evening self-study, and I talked to me a lot, asking me if I wanted to join the student union, I was late." ”
"It's okay, if you have something to do at school, you can go and get busy, I can handle it alone."
"How can it be done, this is our business, how can I throw it to yourself."
"Don't worry about me?"
"How is that possible?"
Chen Fei put away his clothes while joking, it was getting late, and there were no more customers by the riverside.
The man in the corner never left, and followed closely after Chen Fei transported the goods back to the warehouse. Gui Shaochen locked the door, turned off the power to make sure, and left with confidence.
A flying catastrophe was creeping in, and he didn't know it.
The next morning, when Gui Shaochen was in class, two policemen came to the door of the classroom, showed their police officer cards and asked solemnly: "Who is Gui Shaochen?" Who is Chen Fei? ”
Gui Shaochen and Chen Fei stood up, not knowing what was happening.
"There was a fire in Nangang District, come with us."
Gui Shaochen was stunned, what does this have to do with himself, he explained: "The two of us slept in the dormitory yesterday, I don't believe you asked my roommate, why are you looking for us?" ”
Liang Luxin stood up and testified: "I vouch for Gui Shaochen and Chen Fei that they did sleep in the dormitory. ”
The police asked: "No. 15 Xuguang Middle Street, has something to do with you?" ”
When Gui Shaochen heard this, he was completely stunned, it was his warehouse, and all his goods were inside. He jumped up from his seat and ran quickly to the police: "Our warehouse is on fire, isn't it?" That's all we have. Where the fire started, it must be compensated to us. ”
"After investigation, it was found that the fire started in your warehouse, and the surrounding residential areas were also damaged. It's not that you lose money, it's that you lose money to the inhabitants who suffer. ”
"No way, I check the power every day, it's impossible to catch fire."
"Let's go to the police station with us first, and we'll make it clear to you the specific reason."
Gui Shaochen immediately rushed out, that was his entire family, if it was burned out, there would be no chance to turn over. He spread his legs and ran wildly, crossing the road and through residential buildings, not even having time to hide from the cars on the street, and went on a rampage.
What appeared before him was a pitch-black wall and shattered windows. He couldn't believe what was in front of him, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The door of the warehouse was open, and inside was a cloud of ruins and black powder, and all the goods were spared.
Gui Shaochen knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky and roared, sadness came from it. He resented why life had been so cruel to him, and had made him suffer blow again and again, and he yelled at the empty room: "Why, why. I've never done anything bad, why should life be like this. ”
He kicked the ruins everywhere like crazy, and the dust rose and fell slowly, like a life low to the dust, without a trace of life.
Chen Fei and the police arrived one after another, and when they saw everything in front of them, Chen Fei's eyes showed apocalyptic fear and despair. He took all his net worth in a desperate gamble, and never had a chance again.
He searched around the house, and it was strange how there would be a fire if the power was cut off. On the wall of the kitchen, he saw a lighter stopper. He and Gui Shaochen don't smoke, and there is no open flame in the house, how can there be this.
He picked it up and handed it to Gui Shaochen: "Look at this." ”
Gui Shaochen Ren was immersed in grief, he glanced at it, and asked weakly: "What are you doing with this?" ”
"I picked it up in the kitchen, how can we have a lighter in our warehouse?"
Gui Shaochen came to his senses, and he took the baffle and looked at it again: "Do you suspect that someone deliberately set the fire?" ”
Chen Fei suddenly remembered the two people yesterday, could it be that they were targeted.
"I saw two people by the river yesterday, and I always felt very familiar, and I couldn't remember who it was, could it be that I was retaliated against?"
"Who have we offended, no."
Although Gui Shaochen has an uninhibited personality, he rarely conflicts with others, let alone revenge. He set his eyes on Chen Fei, only it could be him.
Chen Fei thought about it, he was so competitive that he had offended a lot of people, but who could be so ruthless.
For a moment, I had no idea.
Gui Shaochen took the shield and handed it to the police, he wanted to avenge himself. The policeman looked at the stopper: "You said that this was deliberate arson, you have to come up with evidence, this alone can't say the problem." ”
Gui Shaochen also knew that this alone would not convince the police, so he continued to search in the house, but found nothing, so he could only be obediently taken away by the police.
Gui Shaochen came to the police station for the second time in a month, and he felt that his life was really changeable, from worry-free food and clothing to nothing, he struggled but still couldn't change the sinking of fate.
The police took out photos of the scene: "The circuit caught fire and the wires were aging." A fire also broke out in the nearby residential area, and both houses burned to the ground. ”
Gui Shaochen's voice trembled: "Is anyone hurt?" ”
"It's good that it's an old house, and the people in it have moved away. But in the morning, a resident came to the police, and the things in the house were compensated according to the price. "How much is it?"
"I haven't estimated it yet, so you should prepare first, at least this number." The police officer held out a finger.
"A thousand?"
"What do you think? If you don't have anything at home, it's more than that, 10,000. ”
Gui Shaochen sat on the ground, and it took a vacation to earn the tuition. How will he pay back this 10,000 yuan.
