After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the door.
They said they were knocking on the door, but it was just a gesture, because when Wang Shi entered in the morning, the door was not closed tightly.
When the two uniformed men walked in, they saw Wang Shi's wife slumped against the window, lost in thought. There was a kitchen knife lying on the floor.
"Ma'am!" someone among the visitors asked, "Excuse me, are you a relative of the deceased?"
The person on the ground was completely motionless and unresponsive.
In desperation, the two men had to scan her face. The result confirmed that the person slumped on the ground was Zhang Yan, the wife of the deceased.
Looking around, the living room was a bit messy, as if there had been an argument. The TV screen was still frozen in time with the casino scene, and there were a few pieces of paper on the floor by the door.
Since the insider didn't say anything, they observed and got some clues on their own.
The two pieces of paper were IOUs for gambling debts from loan sharks. He clicked the play button and watched the entire process of Wang Shi's lavish gambling last night.
Looking at the situation, you can guess what the dispute was about!
"Madam! Can you tell us what happened?" one of them continued to ask Zhang Yan.
"He fell down!" Zhang Yan still didn't move, but just looked at the window with a dull expression and uttered four words.
The man drove to the window and looked down. Judging from the distance, the words "fell down" were indeed true.
For a corpse like this, pushing or jumping would make it farther away, so only "falling" would be more convincing.
"My condolences!" The man tried to comfort Zhang Yan.
"Dead?" Zhang Yan didn't look sad, nor did she look panicked or happy. "He just left his gambling debts to me and walked away? How relaxing!"
"I have some questions, please cooperate and answer them." The two men helped Zhang Yan up from the ground, sat her down on the sofa, and began the routine inquiries.
On the other side, Heizi contacted Lu Guansheng.
"Boss, the person is dead!"
"Dead? What happened?" Lu Guansheng didn't mean to let him die!
"Looks like he fell out of a window. Whether it was voluntary or involuntary, I don't know." Hei Zai replied, "I'll wait for the investigation report to come out and then tell you."
"Got it!" Lu Guansheng frowned after cutting off the connection.
How could he die? This brainless man's death wasn't a pity, but he was a man with a family. One death was enough, and now the well-being of the whole family was at stake.
The child is still young, will there be any psychological barriers? Will it lead to his or her development going astray?
"Fu Ti." Lawrence Lu pressed the internal line. "Something happened to Wang Shi. Please help me contact Wang Shi's widow. I'll go see her tomorrow."
"Wang Shi? What happened to him?"
“Dead!”
"Dead?" Fu Ti was shocked. No wonder she was said to be a widow.
Without asking any more questions, Fu Ti followed the procedure.
When Jinhao was under Lu Nancheng, visiting orphans was already a tradition. In Futi's eyes, it was natural and unshirkable for Lu Guansheng to visit.
The next morning, Lu Guansheng came to Wang Shi's house.
Zhang Yan's expression was calm yet conflicted, with a hint of self-mockery. After sitting down, her teenage son nestled into his mother's arms, a bit bewildered.
"Is the child okay?" Lu Guansheng did not ask about Zhang Yan's condition, but asked about his son Zhang Wangke's condition.
"Go to the room?" Zhang Yan wanted to get her son away, but her son obviously didn't want to and hugged her even tighter!
Shaking her head helplessly, Zhang Yancai answered Lawrence Lu’s question: “I just keep asking why? I wonder if he’s not good enough, not obedient enough, so his father abandoned him?”
"Ms. Zhang, how do you answer these questions?"
"Oh! How else can I answer?" Zhang Yan was also embarrassed. "This isn't the first time they've quarreled! Even a three-year-old can't be fooled, right? His father made a big mistake and was just a coward!"
Zhang Yan did not establish a tall father image for Wang Ke, she didn't want to.
Seeing Wang Ke's expression of disappointment after hearing this again, Lu Guansheng felt the same way. Didn't he also have a father whom he despised?
Fortunately, he has a grandfather who helps him get back on the right track, but who can save this child from his inferiority complex?
"What's your name?" Lu Guansheng asked the boy.
"Wang Ke." The boy answered in a low voice.
"Wang Ke, Dad is gone. That's a fact. No matter how much you hate him or feel sad about him, it can't be changed! But..."
When Lu Guansheng said this, he signaled Zhang Yan with his eyes, and the boy also looked at his mother.
"Your task now is heavy!" Lu Guansheng said gently but seriously.
"Mission?" The child didn't understand.
"Yes! Mission!" Lu Guansheng nodded, "You are the only man in the family now! Mom is relying on you!"
"Mom? Rely on me?" Wang Ke was confused.
"Let's make a pact, okay?" Lu Guansheng continued. "Give yourself a week to feel sad, angry, or want to vent. After this week, you must work hard to be a good and useful child and make Mom proud of you. Can you do it?"
Wang Ke thought about it seriously, looked at Lu Guansheng and nodded.
"Well, Wang Ke, I have something important to tell your mother. Can you go and play by yourself for a while?"
Wang Ke hesitated for a moment, then let go of Zhang Yan, went to the other corner, picked up a children's book and started reading.
"Ms. Zhang." Lu Guansheng began to communicate with Zhang Yan, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Zhang Yan was a little confused. "I don't know. I haven't thought about it! I don't dare to think about it!"
"You have to think about it. Even if it's for your son, you have to live a good life!"
"Oh! I also want to live a good life! But this useless guy owes 100 million in gambling debts. I'm afraid..."
