Chapter 203 Torture
Ten minutes after Chen Guangsheng entered Manager Xue’s office, the office door was reopened.
This student, who had been making an impassioned speech for the future of specially recruited graduates in front of the station square in the morning, was now as embarrassed as if he had been doused by heavy rain.
His face was pale, and when he walked out of the office, there was a burst of disdainful sneers.
"Where did you find a wild dog! How dare you come to my place and ask me to borrow money? What kind of shame do you really think you are a person? You also said that I owe you design fees? Who do you think you are? ! Has the Institute of Geology given you the status of a formal researcher? You still want money from me for those crappy drawings!”
The sound was so loud that many people in the hall could hear it. They all turned their attention to Chen Guangsheng, who walked out silently with his head lowered.
The eyes around him were piercing, like knives, scratching Chen Guangsheng's body.
He hurriedly walked through the corridor and left the building quickly. His hunched figure lost all the vigor he had in the morning and looked more like a dying old man.
Looking at his leaving figure, they sat in the corner of the rest area and watched the show. The two people who were drinking tea slowly also had sneers on their faces.
“Look, look, he wants to organize and set up some kind of joint development meeting. Do you really think that he is so lucky that with a little bit of ability, he can have the right to speak? I don’t think they are doing it. Steal food from whose mouth.”
The person behind the man who looked like a skinny monkey couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, what if he succeeds in the end? If the gentlemen in the cabinet really agree to their official organization, will he seek revenge from us?"
"Don't worry, I have channels. The Gongjin Association may be recognized, but the person who controls the Gongjin Association and becomes the president will definitely not be him. The current chaos in other cities in the Eastern Region is How could it happen? How could those strategists not consider these things? Chen Guangsheng is destined to be a wild dog on the roadside in his life. The more outstanding he is, the more talented he is, and the more ambitious he is. The worse your life will be!"
The thin monkey man stood up from his chair, sneered and put out the cigarette in his hand, then took out his communicator and made a call.
"Get everything ready. I want to see how long this kid can last! Now the central government's legal household registration has become sky-high. As long as we can completely tame him, then we will It’s time to make a fortune!”
After leaving the office building, Chen Guangsheng stood on the roadside blankly. He now didn't know where he was going and what to do.
If the operation cannot be performed before tomorrow, his father's life will be completely irreversible!
How can he earn 500,000 yuan in less than a day?
Still going to steal? Go and grab it?
The moment this idea came to Chen Guangsheng's mind, he shook his head firmly.
Why didn't he agree to the threat of the person on the phone and continue to do the shameful things he had done before?
Because now everyone has hope!
The Joint Advancement Association has been initially established. As long as the cabinet's requirements are finally met and recognized by the central citizens, at least the special students who were regarded as inferior to pigs and dogs like labor farmers will be able to turn around. , have the opportunity to make your own voice heard!
As the initiator and leader, if he still does that kind of thing at such a critical moment and loses control, it will be a stain that the Gongjin Association will never be able to clean away!
This is a matter related to the future of the entire central government and even the entire Eastern District of more than 100,000 special enrollment students. Chen Guangsheng must not allow his own problems to destroy the hopes and hopes of so many people. effort!
But was he really going to watch helplessly as his father, who had almost died of exhaustion in a factory to raise him in order to support him in college, died because of him in the end?
Chen Guangsheng closed his eyes in pain, and at this moment, a text message suddenly came from his communicator. When he saw the content of the text message, his body couldn't help but start to trembling!
Soon, he found the nearest bank nearby.
“Why is my money frozen!”
The teller at the front desk retrieved his account and answered in a professional tone.
"The news we got here is that someone reported that 32,817 yuan in your account deposits came from irregular sources. According to regulations, the bank has temporarily frozen this part of your property. After the Criminal Department has cleared your funds and there are no problems, the account will be The funds will be released automatically."
Chen Guangsheng slumped down on the chair at the bank's front desk in despair. He didn't stand up again until a security guard came to him and asked him tentatively. , staggered out of here.
He didn't understand why things turned out like this.
Everything was going in a good direction before. In the morning, he was still working hard for his ideals and ambitions. In the afternoon, he became so embarrassed and humble.
Up to now, Chen Guangsheng only has three hundred yuan in cash left in his body, and this money is not enough for his father's surgery, even for one day's hospitalization expenses.
He just wandered aimlessly on the street like a zombie. When the sky gradually darkened, he sat blankly on the curb beside the road, staring blankly at the passing pedestrians and vehicles.
Chen Guangsheng didn’t know what to do at all. How should he go back and explain to his mother? How should he face his father?
If his father really died in the hospital bed because of him today, would he really be in the mood to continue fighting for the future of the association?
Chen Guangsheng questioned himself over and over again, feeling painful and desperate about these problems over and over again.
He covered his face, his ears buzzing and noisy as the night fell.
The sounds of pedestrians talking, the sound of car horns on the road, the sound of music on billboards, the sound of greetings from merchants doing promotional activities, and the sound of lottery shops announcing winning numbers
Chen Guangsheng felt like Having turned his back on the entire world, he felt as if he was isolated, incompatible with the bustle and bustle.
Just when he was looking at the ground blankly and his mind went blank, a lottery ticket fell to the ground at some point. The numbers on it were unconsciously seen in his eyes, and he kept repeating them in his ears. The current winning number.
When the winning numbers were read out for the third time, Chen Guangsheng’s originally empty eyes gradually regained their vitality!
His hand began to tremble, and then he slowly stretched out his hand and took the lottery ticket that was left on the ground in his hand!
Chen Guangsheng looked around. Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. There was no one looking for lottery tickets, and no one noticed him.
This made Chen Guangsheng swallow subconsciously. He turned to look at the lottery shop behind him. The LED screen that was scrolling with numbers also clearly displayed the winning numbers.
It is exactly the same as the current lottery ticket he picked up!
The grand prize this time is one million!
As long as he takes the lottery ticket and redeems the winnings, all the problems will be solved, and the troubles that bother him will no longer be an obstacle!
At this moment, Chen Guangsheng's heartbeat stopped for half a beat, and in a daze, he felt that everything was as unreal as a dream.
But his desire for money could not make him think so much. He flushed and rushed into the lottery shop eagerly, shouting.
“I want to claim the prize! I want to claim the prize!”
The owner of the lottery shop looked at the lottery ticket he was waving, and he didn’t look surprised at all before taking it over. After a rough inspection, he smiled and congratulated.
“Congratulations, sir, you are so lucky, you actually won the first prize! But if you want to redeem your prize, you have to come tomorrow. It’s too late today, and some procedures are temporarily closed. It can’t be done.”
Chen Guangsheng, however, was breathing heavily and staring at him.
"I need money urgently. I can resell this lottery ticket to you! For a one million lottery ticket, you only need to give me 700,000! 700,000 is enough!"
From the lottery shop The boss was obviously moved, but he was still hesitant to speak.
“But I don’t have that much cash on hand. I can only take out five hundred thousand at most.”
“You can give me five hundred thousand first! The remaining two hundred thousand will be Please pay me back after you redeem the bonus!”
Chen Guangsheng made a decision immediately. At this time, he no longer felt depressed and despaired before, but felt extremely lucky!
Not all roads in this world are dead ends!
His father can still be saved, and he no longer has to humble himself like a dog to ask for help, let alone suffer humiliation and be looked at in a strange way by everyone!
However, just when he and the lottery shop owner had reached an agreement, he was going to exchange the one million lottery tickets for 500,000 in cash and 200,000 in IOUs.
A middle-aged woman suddenly rushed into the lottery shop with a group of people angrily!
"It's him! This shameless thing! He stole my lottery ticket! Now he actually dares to use it to redeem the prize!" The atmosphere in the lottery shop solidified instantly!
The boss's hand that was counting the cash also stopped, and he looked at Chen Guangsheng in front of the counter warily.
Chen Guangsheng was at an extreme loss. Countless eyes, as if looking at a thief, all focused on him, making him feel like he was about to be drowned in it!
He murmured in defense.
"No, no. I didn't. I didn't steal it. I didn't steal it!"
"You didn't steal it? Do you have any evidence of buying a lottery ticket? Whether it's the surveillance in the store or mine. All the consumption records can prove that I bought this lottery ticket! Come and see! There is a thief who stole something and still admitted it! I picked it up! "
Chen Guangsheng defended weakly, but no one around him was listening to what he said, they were just pointing at him. He couldn't bear it anymore, threw the lottery ticket in his hand on the ground, turned around and ran away!
He was running wildly on that busy street, as if he wanted to escape from this world completely!
The wind howled past his ears, and these sounds were like the remnants of those mocking and disgusting sounds, making his brain just feel a buzzing!
I don’t know how long he ran or where he ran. Chen Guangsheng ran until all the strength in his body was gone before he finally stopped.
He was panting heavily, like a drowning man.
When he held his knees and breathed rapidly for more than ten minutes before regaining his composure, he realized that he had run blindly all the way to a brightly lit street.
There are various entertainment venues everywhere, including bars, casinos, massage parlors, and karaoke bars.
The noisier sound bombarded Chen Guangsheng's brain. Tears flowed all over his face without knowing when. Only now did he realize that he was crying.
Tears streaked across his face, eventually gathering on his chin and falling to the ground.
Chen Guangsheng sat down with his back weakly against a dark corner at the edge of an alley. He shed tears silently. His whole body seemed to be completely surrounded and swallowed up by this darkness. He was unable to extricate himself and had no power. escape.
He just sat here until the night got darker and darker, and the people on this street who indulged themselves to death became more and more crazy.
He and them are like two creatures in two worlds.
At this moment, a cursed gambler walking out of the casino noticed him. The gambler walked up to Chen Guangsheng with a malicious look on his face.
"Brother, my money is a little tight, good brother, can you lend me two dollars to spend money?"
Chen Guangsheng was like an empty shell that had lost its soul, without an answer or anything. He resisted and allowed the gambler to steal his last few hundred dollars in cash from him.
It's not that he can't resist. The awakening of the rules has long made his physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, but Chen Guangsheng doesn't know the meaning of his resistance.
Now he only feels that everything is illusory, his life is meaningless, and perhaps his struggle and so-called ideal are simply a joke.
Time passed minute by minute, and more than an hour later, the gambler who had snatched the last money from him held a large amount of chips in his arms and walked to the exchange table on the other side with a happy smile!
While passing by the alley, he seemed to have just discovered that the lucky star he met tonight had not left yet. He was in a good mood and threw out the pile of chips with a kind heart. One rolled down to Chen Guangsheng's side.
“Good brother! I was able to win back all my capital and make so much extra money. It’s all thanks to you! If you borrow something, pay it back! I’ll pay you back three times! Don’t say I’m unjust. !”
Chen Guangsheng stared blankly at the chip worth one thousand yuan that fell beside him. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but he just picked up the chip gently. Then his eyes turned to the bustling casino full of shouts, cheers, annoyance, yelling, and crying.
He slowly got up from the ground, his body as if he had no brain to think about how to act, walked to the casino, and used the lowest denomination chip to sit on a A gambling table!
The gamblers around him didn't mind how small his chips were at all, and even welcomed him to participate in this gambling game.
He has never bet before, and he doesn't know how to bet at all. When he was placing a bet, he put his only chip out, and then he fought to the end!
The first time he won, the principal of one thousand yuan was doubled to two thousand yuan!
The second time, he still threw away all the chips in his hand, and he won again!
The third time, it’s still Stud! It seems that he is not a poor man with nothing at all, but a rich man who can spend millions of dollars! And this time he still won!
Chen Guangsheng's eyes lit up again!
He seemed to see some hope. The fourth, fifth, and sixth time, he put all his chips in every time, and he could win like this every time!
Under the dazzling light, with countless gamblers around the gambling table cheering for his luck, Chen Guangsheng felt that he was becoming crazy.
He started cheering, twisting and drinking with the gamblers!
When his opponents at the poker table were under pressure and dared not open cards, he also followed them by yelling and urging. When he won again and again, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and that face could no longer be seen. Not the original look!
I don’t know how many times he won, and after two rounds of opponents on the poker table, Chen Guangsheng’s side was already filled with chips!
Now he has won 300,000 yuan from a thousand yuan bet!
At this time, everyone at the poker table felt that they had a chance to win, and everyone threw out a large number of chips. Some even seemed to be driven by his madness and followed suit. All Stud!
Chen Guangsheng pushed out all the chips in front of him with trembling hands as before!
This is the last time and his last hope!
As long as he wins again this time, he can stop and the surgery fee will be enough!
While everyone held their breath, the biggest gamble of the night was played!
Just like Chen Guangsheng had used up all his luck tonight, this time luck did not come to him again.
He lost completely, not even a single chip was left behind. The gamblers around him even sighed and sighed, lamenting that they did not see the legendary miracle tonight.
All the money was lost this time, and Chen Guangsheng, who was not qualified to continue sitting at the card table, stayed in his seat.
Lose and gain, gain and lose, lose and gain again, gain and lose again!
This mental torture time and time again is really going to drive him crazy!
Under the urging of the croupier, the penniless Chen Guangsheng suddenly desperately picked up the chips on the gaming table!
"No! No! This is my father's life! This is his life! I can't lose! I can't lose! Come again! You can come again! This time it's an accident! This time it must be an accident!"
His struggle and madness finally only attracted the casino security.
There were even two first-level scientists among the security guards. They worked together to push Chen Guangsheng to the ground, and then punched and kicked him until his skin was torn and his head was bleeding. In the end, he was like a dead dog. , throwing him out into the dark alley next to the casino.
"You come here to gamble if you can't afford it? Where did the blind wild dog come from!"
A mouthful of saliva fell on Chen Guangsheng's face, and he lay on the ground, motionless like a dead man .
The cold night wind blew by, causing the body of the tortured man on the ground to tremble uncontrollably.
After a long time, there was a burst of sobs from under his face buried in his arms.
He gave in.
What ideals, what ambitions, what future, those things are all fake, they are all illusions!
He accepted his fate.
Resigned to his fate, he escaped from the communicator from his pocket and placed his finger on the thin monkey's phone.
Just when he closed his eyes, unable to press it down.
The sound of gentle footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears.
Chen Guangsheng raised his head and saw a tall and slender young man wearing a black windbreaker and a black bracelet on his wrist walking up to him.
The young man looked into his eyes, raised his eyebrows as if surprised by his miserable appearance, and asked.
"Chen Guangsheng? It's not easy to find you. I wonder if you are interested in doing a business?"
