Zhao Kun was unaware that the "Blue Sky Project" he had joined was actually a pyramid scheme.
Although he didn't understand what pyramid schemes were, he knew he had fallen into a trap and been fooled by the man in the suit.
Realizing this, he began to think about running away.
But this is not an easy task.
My phone has been confiscated, so I can't call the police. I need help.
Secondly, whether he goes to the toilet or does anything else, someone will follow him and restrict his movement, leaving him with no personal freedom.
He knew he had fallen into some mysterious organization. Everyone else was obsessed, acting like lunatics. Every day, all they did was give thanks and hype themselves up, shouting that they wanted to become millionaires, drive luxury cars, and live in villas. But in reality, they were eating vegetable soup with hardly any vegetables left, and their steamed buns were moldy.
"I must escape."
"If I stay here, I'll eventually become a madman like these people."
Zhao Kun was calculating how to escape. There was no way he could become a millionaire here; it was just wishful thinking.
Finally, after the slogans of gratitude were finished, at the man in the suit's command, everyone could begin eating.
"Don't waste food."
"Cherish every grain of rice; it is the hard-earned fruit of farmers."
"The hardships and poverty we are experiencing now are only temporary. This is a test from heaven. Those who achieve great things must first endure hardship, toil, and hunger. How can one see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"
As Zhao Kun listened to the man in the suit making empty promises, he was too lazy to even complain. He had already cursed the man a thousand times over. If it weren't for this jerk, he wouldn't have ended up in this godforsaken place.
But he knew he couldn't force it.
The other side has a large number of people and is powerful. If we anger them, we will suffer the consequences.
He personally witnessed someone who was more than he expected trying to escape, only to be discovered and locked in a room. Although he wasn't beaten or scolded, he was talked to every day, 24 hours a day, which almost drove him crazy.
Suppressing his nausea, Zhao Kun ate a bowl of bland vegetable soup. In his mind, this was food for dogs. It was truly incomprehensible that the people around him could eat it with such relish.
"Report, Mr. Wang, I need to use the restroom."
"Go ahead, but remember not to stay too long."
The man in the suit nodded, then winked at another person and immediately followed Zhao Kun.
Fortunately, the person supervising him wouldn't go into the toilet.
After arriving at the restroom and locking the door, Zhao Kun immediately stood on the filthy toilet and looked out the window.
He was on the second floor, not the top floor, which made Zhao Kun feel somewhat fortunate, because he wanted to sneak out through the toilet window. If it were the fourth or fifth floor, it would be at least ten or twenty meters away, which would be very dangerous.
The only obstacle right now is the wooden planks nailed to the windows. Perhaps someone wanted to escape through the windows in the past, so they nailed on a layer of planks.
Zhao Kun tried to pry it off, but found that it was difficult to remove by hand without tools. After a lot of effort, the board remained firmly nailed to the window.
Damn it!
Zhao Kun cursed inwardly.
If he can't get the board off, his idea of escaping is just wishful thinking. This escape route is not feasible. What should he do?
Just then, voices urging them on came from outside.
"I'm constipated, please wait a bit."
Zhao Kun knew that the person monitoring him was someone he had to respond to, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion. Therefore, he deliberately made constipation noises.
After trying four or five more times, Zhao Kun still couldn't budge the wooden planks on the window, so he had to give up.
We must find another way and plan for the long term.
Pretending to flush the toilet, Zhao Kun opened the bathroom door and walked out.
The person supervising him immediately went into the toilet. Zhao Kun noticed out of the corner of his eye that the person was inspecting him and clearly suspected that he was trying to escape. When he saw the person take out a small hammer and use it to fix the wooden board, he cursed inwardly again, "Damn it, this is not giving anyone any way to survive!"
It’s over!
He knew that the idea of escaping through the toilet was out of the question; the people here were too cautious and wouldn't give him a chance.
unless……
Staring at the small hammer in the other person's hand, there was still a glimmer of hope unless he could get his hands on it.
Watching the other person put the hammer back on his waist, Zhao Kun secretly made a mental note of it, wondering if he could get his hands on it later and use it as his escape tool.
For now, the toilet escape route is temporarily abandoned, and we can only try to escape through other windows.
Zhao Kun began searching through the other windows of the house.
...
In the smoke-filled room,
When questioned by Tiger, Zhou Chuan did not hide his hatred for Zhou Chen, stating that if given the chance, he would definitely find a way to take revenge.
"You've been with me for a while now, and I admire you."
"If you want revenge, I can help you get it out of you."
Tiger said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. The reason he wanted to join Brother Hu and follow him was for this very day.
Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly.
"Brother Tiger, you...you're really willing to help me?"
"Of course, you're one of my people, and I don't even know him. It's only natural for me to help you."
"Thank you, Brother Tiger. As long as you help me get revenge, I will be your brother for life and be loyal to you forever."
Zhou Chuan immediately expressed his opinion.
Tiger smiled, struck a satisfied pose, and then explained his method.
After hearing this, Zhou Chuan fell silent.
Tiger wasn't in a hurry. He patiently persuaded him, "If you want revenge, this is the only way. Besides, don't you want to participate in the revenge yourself?"
“A real man should learn to do great things without being bothered by trifles. In ancient times, Han Xin endured humiliation and bore the shame of crawling between someone’s legs. You don’t need to crawl between someone’s legs. You just pretend to apologize and beg for forgiveness. What’s the big deal?”
"As long as we lure him to our card table, I have a way to make him fall into the trap and lose everything."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Zhou Chuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze resolute, and said, "Brother Hu, I'll do it. You're right, as long as we succeed, the process doesn't matter."
"That's right."
Tiger laughed loudly, thinking to himself, "Finally, I've convinced you, kid."
He hadn't initially planned to clarify the relationship between Zhou Chuan and Zhou Chen. However, during his interactions with Zhou Chuan, he discovered that Zhou Chuan harbored a great deal of resentment towards Zhou Chen. Therefore, he changed his mind and decided to lay the matter out in the open, so that Zhou Chuan would be more willing to cooperate.
Next, as long as Zhou Chuan succeeds,
He would then have the opportunity to get all of Zhou Chen's money into his own hands.
In the world of sex workers, no woman is immune to the temptation to sell herself; it's just a matter of whether the price is high enough.
In a gambler's world, no man is immune to gambling; it's just a matter of whether they have the capital.
Zhou Chen is undoubtedly wealthy, so as long as we arouse his greed, we can manipulate him just like we did with Zhao Kun.
