Li Wei was thrown to the ground by Han Xing. His entire body was trembling, and he didn’t even have the strength to stand up. His eyes were filled with extreme fear.
Han Xing really wanted to kill him just now! However, Li Wei really didn’t dare to say anything. He could only kowtow on the ground and beg for Han Xing’s forgiveness.
Han Xing had no intention of killing Li Wei. Seeing that Li Wei was frightened, he continued to ask coldly, “Your son is overseas now, right?”
Li Wei was dumbfounded when he heard this. His lips turned purple as he said, “No-no!”
Han Xing looked down at Li Wei and sneered, “Do you really think that I didn’t suspect anything back then, Butler Li?”
“After you died, I took good care of your family. Who knew that before I could compensate them, they directly left the country? All these years, I’ve been very clear about their every move overseas.”
“Who do you think will be blamed if your son is shot dead on the street?”
Han Xing’s eyes were light, and he saw a trace of fear in Li Wei’s eyes. Of course, these words were fake. Han Xing only knew that his family had indeed left the country back then. The Han family was already too busy to take care of themselves at that time, so how could he still have the time to care about these small matters?
However, seeing Li Wei living such a miserable life, he probably did not contact his family abroad.
“Young Master, please let my son go! I’ll tell you! 1’11 tell you everything! As long as you don’t hurt my family!”
Li Wei kept kowtowing on the ground. His old face was already covered in mud. When Han Xing nodded, Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around for a while to make sure there was no one else before saying, “Young Master, please follow me.”
The two of them took many turns and left the alley. Soon, they left the bustling city along a street. They came straight to a large garbage dump. Such a large garbage dump usually did not have many people managing it. Even if there were, they would not be there all day.
There were already quite a number of homeless people in the junkyard, and they all had dull complexion. They would fight from time to time, but Han Xing only glanced at them and followed Li Wei to a small hidden house.
Li Wei had picked up a lot of trash and reinforced the house with rubber tires. After Han Xing went in, he lay under the bed and dug around, only to find a plastic bag.
There were several documents in the plastic bag, and he handed them all to Han Xing. He said, “Young Master, these are the confidential documents of the Han family’s company.”
Han Xing glanced at it and confirmed that it was real. These documents were the root cause of the Han family’s bankruptcy. At that time, the higher-ups wanted to expand the wasteland in the Dongcheng District of Rainbow City. The initial investment for such a large-scale project was as high as ten billion yuan. The Han family naturally would not let go of this opportunity and also joined the bidding.
Almost all the companies in Rainbow City had joined the competition. Han Xing remembered that the Han family had won the bid, but in the end, due to various reasons, the Han family lost. The Han family was completely bankrupt, and this mess was directly handed over to the Liu family.
At that time, Liu Feng had even come over to comfort him. Now that he thought about it, there was something fishy about this matter. Back then, Han Xing wanted to recover his losses. Liu Feng also said that he would help him, but he could not find the documents signed by his father and the higher-ups. He did not expect that they were with Li Wei.
“Why do you have these?”
When Li Wei heard what Han Xing said, he hurriedly explained, “Young Master, I secretly hid this. They told me to destroy it, but 1 didn’t.”
This was also his selfish motive. If the truth was revealed, taking out this thing might save his life.
“Let me tell you the details of what happened back then!”
Han Xing did not mind and sat on one of the tires.
Li Wei was really afraid of Han Xing now. Han Xing did not show his emotions on his face, and he had long lost his hot-headed appearance. He was thinking about how to explain this, but he didn’t expect to be slapped by Han Xing.
“Hurry up and say it!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” He did not dare to think about it anymore and quickly told Han Xing everything that had happened back then.
“Young Master, actually, it was my fault back then!”
Li Wei slowly recounted what had happened back then. At that time, he had been dragged into a gambling game by a few scoundrels and had lost more than three million yuan. The Han family had given him a lot of salary, but he could not afford to pay off the three million yuan debt. His wife was so anxious that he was too embarrassed to tell his old boss about it.
The loan sharks even came to his house every day, threatening his wife and son with knives. Li Wei had planned to go all out and talk to Han Xing’s father about this matter, hoping to borrow some money. However, he did not expect the Han family to suddenly go bankrupt at this time. The Han family could not even take care of themselves, so how could they still care about him?
He wanted to die, but at this time, a loan shark called Brother Dao came to him. As long as he accomplished a minor matter, the debt of more than three million yuan would be forgiven and his family could be sent abroad. After all, the environment in the country was not good now, and his son could enjoy a better education abroad.
When he asked Brother Dao what he needed to do, Brother Dao told him. Brother Dao wanted him to make a move and cause the Han couple to get into a small car accident. Li Wei didn’t want to agree at first, but the debt of more than three million yuan had already crushed him. For some reason, he agreed.
His driving skills were originally not bad, and he thought that with his own strength, there would definitely not be any problems. A small car accident would definitely not cause any life-threatening danger, but he was wrong. His car had been tampered with a long time ago. That day, the brakes failed and he couldn’t avoid it and crashed into the cliff. He was knocked unconscious on the spot.
When he woke up and found out that he was already ‘dead’, Brother Dao’s men did not make things difficult for him at first. Instead, they asked him, a dead man, to help them with their work.
As time went on, he felt more and more guilty. When these people weren’t paying attention, he collected all the bidding documents of the Han family that they were about to throw away.
This kind of life did not last long. Soon, after the Han family went bankrupt, he was no longer of value. These people were not polite to him at all. They directly broke his hands and feet and threw him into the garbage dump to fend for himself.
He didn’t want to die. After those people left, he crawled for a few kilometers before finding a village clinic. The doctor took him in for a while.
After Li Wei recovered, he did not dare to show his face in Rainbow City. In order not to implicate his wife and son, he could only hide and live in the garbage dump. He did not dare to ask about his son’s current situation and news.
However, the number of homeless people in the garbage dump had increased recently. He could not even fill his stomach. He could only go to the city to rummage. He didn’t expect to meet Han Xing..
