Chapter 119 Greed is the original sin
The only thing on Liu Dongsheng's mind at the moment was the one million yuan. Seeing that the drunk man had his eyes closed, he became bolder and decided to go all out. He pulled the suitcase over with force.
The drunk man was pulling hard, but his hands suddenly felt empty and under the reaction force, he fell backwards.
Then Liu Dongsheng heard a "bang" and the drunk man's head hit the ground.
The sound was so muffled and crisp that it hurt Liu Dongsheng just listening to it.
He zipped up his pants in a panic, turned around and tried to run, but after two steps he had to turn around and push his electric bike.
He knew very well that if the electric car was left here, the police would follow this clue to find him tomorrow.
He threw his travel bag on the pedal of the electric bike, pushed it onto the bike, and took two steps when he couldn't help but look back at the drunk man. This look shocked him.
The drunk was lying on the ground with a pool of blood under his head.
Liu Dongsheng was startled and wanted to go over to see if the man was still breathing. Suddenly, he heard a voice in the distance, and Liu Dongsheng pushed the electric bike and ran wildly.
He ran to the downstairs of his house in one breath, without even locking his car, and ran upstairs carrying his travel bag.
The rented house was on the fifth floor. Liu Dongsheng ran to the door in one breath. His waist and legs no longer hurt. He took out the key and opened the door tremblingly.
When I returned to the house, Huang Juan and Xiaopang were both asleep.
Liu Dongsheng locked the door, turned on the light in the living room, and stood there for a long time in shock.
Huang Juan heard the noise and came out of the house. "Why are you back just now? What time is it?"
Liu Dongsheng scolded in a low voice, "Go to sleep, I'm not going out to play, I'm working overtime!"
Huang Juan glared at Liu Dongsheng fiercely, went into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Liu Dongsheng tiptoed to the kitchen with the bag, closed the door, and poured everything in the travel bag onto the floor.
There were bundles of money all over the floor.
Liu Dongsheng was shaking all over. He put the money into the travel bag one by one, counting in his mouth, "one, two, three..."
After counting all the money, Liu Dongsheng was overjoyed. One million and a half million, there was a full one million and a half million here!
He saw that it was all real money!
Liu Dongsheng didn't know where to hide the money for a moment. He didn't want Huang Juan to know that there was such a large sum of money.
But the house was so small and shabby that it was hard to find a place to hide the money.
He came out of the kitchen carrying his travel bag and pushed open Xiaopang's door.
Xiaopang was already fast asleep. He was the type of person who was difficult to wake up when he slept. Every time he went to school, Huang Juan had to pick him up from the bed.
There were a lot of miscellaneous items stuffed under Xiaopang's bed. Liu Dongsheng carefully stuffed the travel bag under the bed, sandwiching it between two cardboard boxes.
He lay on the ground and looked at it for a long time, but felt that it was nothing special. Then he closed Xiaopang's door and went to bed with a worried look on his face.
The next morning, Liu Dongsheng was awakened by the alarm clock. He got up as usual and walked out of the bedroom to wash up. He took a few steps towards the bathroom, but then he pushed open Xiaopang's door worriedly and lay on the ground to take a look at the place where he hid the money.
The travel bag was still neatly sandwiched between the two cardboard boxes.
Only then did he go to the bathroom.
After washing up, Liu Dongsheng had to go to work overtime again.
He knew that even with more than one million yuan, he couldn't live a lifetime, so he still had to earn a salary.
When he walked downstairs, he remembered that he was in such a hurry yesterday that he forgot to charge his electric car.
He had no choice but to move forward.
Passing by the old factory area, Liu Dongsheng couldn't help but look at the place where the drunk man was lying. The man was no longer there. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and no one had cleaned it up. It was very eye-catching.
Liu Dongsheng turned his head hurriedly. At this moment, two young men came towards him, wearing baseball caps with the brims pulled down low.
One said, "Something happened here last night, did you know?"
The other replied, "What happened?"
"Someone was robbed. They said they were robbed of 1.5 million yuan. They told the passersby who came to rescue them that it was a man who robbed them. The man is now lying in the hospital and is still being treated. I heard that he had a head injury and may not be able to be saved."
Liu Dongsheng began to tremble all over, lowered his head, and passed by the two young people.
Their voices continued to be heard from behind, "I heard that the police are checking the nearby surveillance cameras to identify any suspects."
The other one snorted coldly, "After robbing so much money, if the person can't be rescued, robbery and murder will be a capital crime."
Liu Dongsheng's head buzzed, and he took one deep step forward and one shallow step forward.
After walking for a while, he searched the Internet but found no relevant news.
While sitting on the subway, he finally saw a video from a local live streamer.
The host spoke seriously about a robbery and murder, the amount of which was exactly one and a half million, and the location was right near where he lived.
Liu Dongsheng quickly turned off the video and went to the company with trepidation.
There were a few people working overtime in the company, and Liu Dongsheng was confused all day and had no idea what he had done.
He was afraid that the police would suddenly rush in and arrest him.
I also comforted myself from time to time, thinking that it was so dark there and there was no surveillance, so no one would know.
After a day of anxiety, I finally made it to the end of get off work.
Today the boss was merciful and did not ask them to work overtime at night and let them go home.
On the way home, Liu Dongsheng's cell phone rang and he received a message.
When he clicked it, his soul almost flew away.
It's a slightly blurry photo.
He can be seen fighting with the drunk man over a travel bag, and his electric bike is even caught in the shot.
Liu Dongsheng replied tremblingly, "What do you mean?"
The reply came quickly, "I saw everything that happened last night. The police are looking for witnesses."
"If you don't want to be arrested by the police and sentenced to death, give me one million of the money you got."
Liu Dongsheng was almost furious and replied with a message, "You have such a big appetite!"
"Haha, I'm lucky I didn't ask for 1.5 million. This 1 million is for your life! Isn't your life worth 1 million?"
"You don't know yet, the person you robbed is already dead."
"If you are caught, you will be sentenced to death."
Liu Dongsheng was stunned on the spot.
Before he could reply, the man sent another message, "I'll be waiting for you at the back door of the old machinery factory at 11 pm. Bring money, or you'll be shot."
Liu Dongsheng knew the old machinery factory, which was not far from the house he was renting now. It was dark there and few people went there at night.
Then came another message, "Don't try to run away, I know where you live, I saw you go home last night."
Liu Dongsheng looked around in horror.
Suddenly he started running wildly on the road.
After running for a while, he remembered that he should take the subway and ran towards the subway station again.
Along the way, he was like a frightened bird, constantly looking back to see if anyone was following him.
When they got home, Huang Juan was cooking in the kitchen and Xiaopang was playing with his mother's mobile phone in the house.
