Chapter 19: The Campus Prince's Marionette (19)
After calming down, Yunnuo returned to his expressionless look.
She sat down at the computer desk and opened her email, which contained the current situation of the four major families.
They've filed for bankruptcy, all their belongings are frozen, and they've been forced to move into a tiny house barely bigger than their old bathroom.
The four major families are intertwined and have a large population. Now everyone is crowded together and has no money. How can they live well?
But no matter what, what they did every day was the same thing, which was to scold the fourth prince.
They dropped out of school after going bankrupt, and their family had no money to allow them to continue their studies.
And even if they could continue, they would not choose to continue. The former prince has now become mud on the ground. Who can accept such an outcome?
Their favorite thing to do now is to drink, wanting to immerse themselves completely in dreams so that they will not feel the pain.
But even if you live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, you still have to face a lot of problems.
The most pressing problem is that they have no money.
At first, they could only survive by selling the things they had on them, such as watches and necklaces, but for them who were spendthrift, that would only last a few days. In just a week, everyone was out of money.
If you don’t have money, you will starve to death. When you are really hungry, all your words are meaningless and you can only go to work obediently.
However, how could a person who had once been a high-ranking president be interested in those low-level positions? The high position he wanted had already been taken, and it would not be given to someone who was not related to him. He was doomed to fail.
The pressure of life, the setbacks in job hunting, and the abuse from family members have almost become the main theme of their lives.
After failing to find a job several times, I didn't want to go anymore and could only drink more. But drinking requires money, and I have no source of income, so a vicious cycle began.
So other people had to go out to work, doing various jobs. At first, no one was too embarrassed to do it, so they tried to contact their old friends to borrow money. After all, everyone was so rich, so it shouldn't be a problem if they borrowed a little, right?
But the fact is that they couldn't even get through on the phone. All of them were blacklisted without exception. Even if they took the initiative to stop people, they couldn't. After all, people always went out with drivers, and if they wanted to get close to them, they had to call the police.
There's no point in playing the emotional card; everyone saw them running away and it was too late.
Everyone knows that the four major families are bankrupt. Who would dare to offend someone so powerful that can make all four families bankrupt? Since the other party is so generous and wants to kill them, who would dare to help them?
There is no one to turn to and you can only rely on yourself. No one has money to eat, so you can cry and go out to work, doing things you don’t want to do, like sweeping the streets and washing dishes. The rich lady instantly turns into an aunt.
The four culprits were even more miserable. If they hadn't been so bored that they provoked the big devil Yun Nuo, how could they have ended up like this?
Those who were drunk and dreaming at home were cursing the four people, while those who had worked hard outside were cursing them even more harshly.
The four of them had already been abused by Yun Nuo before, and had serious psychological problems. Now they were scolded by so many people every day. The psychological gap was especially unbearable for them.
Among them, the gentlest prince Lin Ziyang was the first to collapse.
He has been pursuing perfection in everything since he was young, and pride is deeply hidden in his bones. How can he tolerate himself existing like a rat crossing the street now?
If it wasn't for his desire to win at that time, why would he participate in such a gamble and ruin everyone's life.
Lin Ziyang took his own money and went out to buy a bottle of wine so cheap that he had never heard of it before, and asked the other three to come out.
When Lin Ziyang saw the three people again, he felt as if he was in another world.
They are each other's friends and also each other's competitors.
They were born at a similar age and have been playing together since they were young. All four of them know what they have done. They look indestructible, but in fact they will fall apart at the slightest breeze.
They used to be such proud people, but now they have turned into the mud that they hate and despise the most. They feel disgusted when they see themselves.
Lin Ziyang looked at them and saw that they were wearing shabby clothes that he had never seen before. They were dirty and even smelled bad.
The most important thing is that his spirit and energy are not good at all, and he doesn't look high-spirited at all.
If someone who knew them before saw this, they probably wouldn't recognize them at all.
How did they manage to live like this?
Lin Ziyang smiled bitterly. Was he too arrogant? He thought he was a god who could control everything, but in the end he was slapped hard in the face by reality.
Is this Yunnuo’s revenge?
It’s really too cruel!
The four of them found an open space and sat down. For a long time, none of them spoke and the scene was silent.
Lin Ziyang silently took out four glasses and poured wine into them.
A pungent smell lingered in the air.
Lin Ziyang talked about the past with a smile, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Actually, I've always known that I'm a very scheming person. I can manipulate everyone just to achieve my own goals. I was also very confident that I could beat all of you in this bet. I just lost to Yun Nuo. I'm convinced!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand. The three of them moved their fingers as if they wanted to stop him, but in the end no one moved.
Lin Ziyang still had a smile on his face. "I can't accept my current life. I feel like I can't go on like this. I used to be such a proud person, but now I'm being stepped on by others. I still have a chance to turn things around, but I don't want to go on like this!"
"Yunnuo is really cruel..."
After saying this, Lin Ziyang fell down, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over. The three of them just looked at him quietly until Lin Ziyang died.
Lin Ziyang added a high concentration of paraquat, a herbicide, into the wine. If people accidentally ingested it, they would be poisoned to death.
The smell of paraquat is so strong that it cannot be masked even if it is placed in high-concentration alcohol. You can tell there is a problem as soon as you smell it.
This is also the choice Lin Ziyang gave to the three people, and it is his last kindness to these three little friends.
He was really feeling miserable and didn't want to go on living. Since everything was started by the four of them, let them end it!
As for what the other three friends choose, he doesn't care.
When Lan Xin saw Lin Ziyang die in front of her, her eyes moved and tears fell.
He has always been the least popular one in the family. It was only when three people played with him that he was taken seriously. He least wanted to see anyone get hurt.
