Chapter 995: People in the Dark

In a cheap rental house in Jiangcheng. Google search reading

In the room lived a man who looked young, a young man. He had just rented the house yesterday, and there were still some luggage left to pack. There was an ashtray on the table with a few cigarette butts in it.

There was not much dust, but more turbid air. For this man, it seemed that nothing could make him look away from the newspaper in his hand. The suitcase on one side looked very shabby, and it was still a style from the 1980s. The man's clothes were all wrinkled, but he was clean and tidy.

This house is not expensive, with a monthly rent of only 40 yuan. It is close to the bus station and very convenient, but the only downside is that it is not far from the railway, otherwise the price would have increased by 50 to 60 percent.

The furniture is all matching, and the landlord is not bad. It doesn't look like this young man comes from a very privileged family. If you look closely, you will know that if his family is privileged, why would he live here?

This small place has few tenants from beginning to end of the year. Nowadays, young people are all working in the city center. There are really few young people living in this small place that is more than a dozen stations away from the city center. Most of them are migrant workers from other places.

After thanking the boss for some fruits, the young man with a haggard face but firm eyes and a very masculine face closed the door and continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, as if looking for some news.

His name is Xiao Tong, and he is exactly 29 years old this year.

Today is his birthday, but he came to such a strange city for a simple purpose, which is to find his enemy, that is, the owner of Jiangnan Home Appliance City and Jiangnan Beauty Clothing Store, Li Yi.

Why is it an enemy?

Because in Nanjiang City, Xiao Tong had lived a good life for more than 20 years. His father opened a home appliance city and his mother was in the clothing business. In fact, he had no intersection with Li Yi. However, the emergence of the Jiangnan Home Appliance Alliance made his father a little overwhelmed. Their family business was not very good. In those years, his father was framed and almost lost the lawsuit. The family business plummeted.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the home appliance city, his father later borrowed usury. Since then, the conditions of their family have become worse and worse. Later, in order to help his father, his mother's clothing store was also sold. When the family was ready to turn the tide, the supplier cut off the cooperation relationship with them and turned to cooperate with Li Yi's Jiangnan Home Appliance Alliance.

It was not a very good day, and it seemed to be a little rainy. Xiao Tong was in the store at the time, helping to look after the store. His father and mother went to find the supplier together. It was said that the supplier was discussing cooperation with the hotel and Li Yi and his group at the time, but he never came back after leaving.

Two hours later, Xiao Tong received a call. The person on the other end of the phone said he was a traffic policeman, saying that his parents had been in a car accident and asked him to come to the hospital as soon as possible.

Xiao Tong went to the hospital and got the news that his father had passed away. He could not be rescued and lost too much blood.

His mother's lower body was paralyzed, saying that there was a problem with her spine.

Although it felt like the sky was about to fall, Xiao Tong did not give up, and life did not give him the opportunity to be sad. Just when he mustered up the courage to take up the burden left by his father and take care of his mother who was bedridden, when he was working overtime at the company at night, he got the news that his mother had also passed away, the reason was suicide.

His mother passed away peacefully, took an overdose of sleeping pills, and left him a suicide note. The content of the suicide note was roughly that she felt that as a mother, she was a failure. She could not take care of her son for a few more years, but became a burden to her son. Moreover, without her husband, there was only one son in the world who was worth lingering. However, her lower body was paralyzed in bed, which undoubtedly brought great trouble to her son, so she chose to give up her life, maybe this would make her son feel better.

It was only seven days since his father passed away.

Xiao Tong was stunned at the time. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. A week ago, although the family's life was not very sad, at least they had enough food and clothing, and at least he still had a home.

But a week later, his parents left him one after another.

Some people say that there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. This sentence is really not wrong at all. Xiao Tong was walking in the park of the hospital and stood under a pavilion for two hours until his legs were sore, and then he sat on the cold marble floor.

No one could tell Xiao Tong what to do, and no one even came to comfort Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong just sat by the pavilion until the next morning, with dew all over his clothes and hair.

He didn't know how he got back to his home appliance store, and then Xiao Tong sold all his belongings. The home appliance store was so big that he couldn't take care of it all by himself, and there were so many employees. After mortgaging the home appliance store to the loan shark, Xiao Tong disposed of all the home appliances and gave severance pay to the employees.

The loan shark was very dissatisfied because he wanted cash, so he went straight to Xiao Tong and threatened him. However, Xiao Tong's words made the loan shark dare not even fart and left in disgrace.

"I don't even have a relative now. How do you think I feel now?

The home appliance city is given to you. Don't come to me again. Even if I bury you or sink you into the river, do you think anyone still cares about me?

If you die, someone will shed tears for you, but what about me?"

The loan shark had seen all kinds of scenes, but he had never seen the meaning in the eyes of the young man. He really wanted to do this at the time. Based on the idea that a good man would not suffer a loss in front of him, he turned around and left, and tore up the IOU in front of Xiao Tong.

He even wanted to eat it himself.

Later, someone called Xiao Tong, who was sitting at home counting bottles, and said that this matter was not that simple. After talking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Tong decided to come to Jiangnan City to find this person named Li Yi and take revenge.

Who is Li Yi?

Xiao Tong didn't know anything at all, so he tried every means to collect information. Xiao Tong was determined that Li Yi was definitely related to the death of his parents.

That phone call played a very critical role.
