Chapter 2 [Please add to your favorites]
Lin Leyou was in a bad mood. He paced back and forth a few steps, frowned, and checked the balance of his bank card. His salary from last month had just been paid, which was about eight thousand yuan. In addition, there was two thousand yuan in the card, which made a total of ten thousand yuan.
That said, his family always calls him on payday, and they don't care about him at other times. They don't even let him come home for Chinese New Year, saying he can earn more money by working during the holidays.
Lin Leyou stared at his balance again and again. Over the years, he had never dared to spend money recklessly. Apart from the necessary living expenses, he would give the rest to his family.
He looked at his dirty appearance, wiped the dust off his face, and muttered, "I'll take a shower first."
He went to his bedside, carrying his washbasin, which had a broken edge, along with shampoo, soap, towels, and other items.
In the past, he would try to save money on even these things and dare not use too much. But now he doesn't need to save anymore. He has to admit that using more makes the washing more comfortable and cleaner.
As the water flowed, the dirt on his body was gradually washed away, and the dirty water disappeared into the tiles through the drain. As he was about to leave, he saw himself in the mirror.
He subconsciously stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at the mirror, and brushed the stray hairs that were covering his forehead upwards to reveal his entire face.
He's almost fifty years old and has been a factory worker for so many years, so naturally he's not much to look at anymore. But you can still see how handsome he was when he was young, after all, he had the good looks to begin with.
He thought back to high school when many girls confessed their feelings to him. After all, he was young and impetuous, good-looking, and had a bad-boy vibe. His grades weren't top-notch, but they were still above average.
Looking at myself in the mirror now, the difference is quite significant.
At this moment, someone walked in. Lin Leyou saw that it was his coworker, a middle-aged man who was busy working for his family, but he was different from him.
This man at least has a wife and children, and his elderly parents are still alive. Even when he's busy working outside, you can still see a happy smile on his face.
"Hey, Old Lin, here to take a bath?"
Lin Leyou gave an awkward smile. "Yes."
"By the way, it's payday today. Are you going to send money home again?"
Lin Leyou's eyes flashed, "Yes, we'll go later."
After saying that, he left with his things and returned to the dormitory, where he threw away all the dirty and broken items that he had previously been reluctant to throw away!
Sure enough, after cleaning up, seeing the tidy bed made me feel much better.
Wearing my best clothes, clothes I bought ten years ago that I've barely worn.
I bought a cheap, old phone that I've used for four or five years for a few hundred dollars.
To be honest, this is the most valuable thing he owns.
He shook his half-dry hair, looked at his phone, and hurried away from the construction site. While waiting at the traffic light, he was thinking about what clothes to buy and what food to eat later.
He doesn't even bother to look at unread messages on his phone; he deletes them with a single click!
The green light came on, and he walked quickly forward. But when he got to the middle, he suddenly saw someone in front of him. Someone?! How come he hadn't seen him before? There were very few people and cars around this construction site.
He clearly remembered that there was no one else at the intersection just now, so how come there's suddenly someone else? Could it be that he missed someone?
He looked at it a few more times and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, isn't that the boss, Xue Rui? A famous and wealthy man. Is he here to inspect the construction site?
This boss is a formidable figure. He's about the same age as me, but looks like he's in his thirties. He's handsome and rich. We're from two completely different worlds.
Just then, the green light was about to turn green again, and he instinctively quickened his pace. To his surprise, the shop owner was standing still.
He could have walked just two or three more steps to the roadside, but he just stood there on the zebra crossing without moving. What was he doing?
Lin Leyou called out as he walked forward, "Boss, boss!"
But the boss seemed oblivious and remained standing there. Just as Lin Leyou was wondering about this, he noticed a car speeding straight towards them. If they didn't move soon, they would crash into it!
Of course, it wasn't himself, but Xue Rui.
At this moment, Xue Rui only needed to take two steps forward to survive, but for some reason, Xue Rui just wouldn't move. Lin Leyou called out several times, but the other party still didn't respond.
Lin Leyou didn't think much of it and quickened his pace, rushing over and knocking the boss in front of him away. Of course, he was also able to use the momentum to avoid the car.
What he never expected was that when he bumped into the boss, the boss turned around and pushed him back with considerable force.
He only had time to instinctively grab the boss's hand, and couldn't explain why; he just broke a bracelet on Xue Rui's wrist. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Lin Leyou's shocked gaze fell into the other person's eyes, and he seemed to only then realize where he was, trying to reach out and grab Lin Leyou, but it was too late.
He could only watch helplessly as Lin Leyou was knocked away and landed heavily on the ground.
Lin Leyou felt as if he was in excruciating pain, yet also as if he felt nothing at all. In a daze, he seemed to be flying in the sky, yet also as if he had landed.
Then he felt as if something was pressing down on his body. At that moment, he wasn't thinking about anything else, but about how this boss was doing something inhuman. He had saved him, but he was going to die at his hands!
What he was most unwilling to accept was that he finally wanted to have some fun, but he died without spending a penny.
Xue Rui had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the person in front of him was knocked away. He didn't even have time to use the props. The person he pushed fell heavily to the ground, and the car ran over him as it drove away.
Even if he were incredibly skilled, he couldn't catch up with a speeding car. Soon, the car disappeared into the distance. He frowned deeply and quickly walked to Lin Leyou's side. "Hey, are you alright?"
He wanted to see if there was any hope of saving the person, but to his surprise, as soon as he took out something that could treat the wound, he discovered that... the person was already dead and died on the spot!
Xue Rui gritted his teeth; this person was beyond saving!
He killed him, and the other person even saved him!
He took a breath, took out his phone and made a call, "It's me, yes, I was tricked, but now... I'm fine. You need to bring people over here right now, yes... I'm next to the construction site."
Lin Leyou, whose consciousness was in a daze, felt as if only a few seconds had passed, or as if several years had passed. Just as he was wondering if he was already dead, a voice rang out in the darkness.
"Detected..."
