Chapter 343 [Wind Chaser 42]
In order to buy construction bonds, Aunt Zhou mortgaged her house to Boss Zhao. However, when Boss Zhao came to collect the debt, Aunt Zhou was unable to repay and could only watch herself lose the ownership of the house.
Boss Zhao mercilessly demanded to take back the house, but Aunt Zhou refused to give in. She argued with Boss Zhao and even swallowed the IOU on the spot to show her determination. However, this move did not change the situation, but angered Boss Zhao.
At Boss Zhao's command, his men immediately began to brutally beat Aunt Zhou. At this moment, Wei Ruolai was returning home from get off work and happened to see this heartbreaking scene. He rushed forward desperately and tried his best to protect Aunt Zhou.
Facing Aunt Zhou's anger and accusations, Wei Ruolai felt very aggrieved. He had advised Aunt Zhou to give up the treasury bonds, but Aunt Zhou did not listen. At this moment, his heart was filled with helplessness and pain.
Aunt Zhou suddenly fainted due to excessive emotion. Boss Zhao saw this and left with his people in dismay. Wei Ruolai stared at all this in a daze, his heart aching. He couldn't imagine whether he could have avoided this tragedy if he had returned home earlier.
Seeing the grief-stricken Wei Ruolai, the uncle could not help but feel a little sad. He knew that Wei Ruolai and Awen had a deep friendship, and the death of his good friend was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Wei Ruolai's tears flowed like a flood. His eyes were filled with endless sadness and self-blame, as if the whole world had collapsed.
"Child, don't be too sad." The uncle patted Wei Ruolai's shoulder gently and comforted him: "Life is unpredictable, we all have to learn to accept reality."
The uncle told Wei Ruolai that he planned to go to Hong Kong to live with his son and start a new life. At the same time, he also persuaded Wei Ruolai not to continue working at the central bank because the environment there made people feel depressed and helpless.
At this time, Niu Chunmiao on the side also interrupted and said: "Yes, if you come, come back to my hometown with me. Let's leave this sad place and start over."
However, Wei Ruolai shook his head and rejected their proposal. He felt that he could not escape from reality like this, and he had to be responsible for Awen's death.
At this moment, Aunt Zhou suddenly appeared. She looked strange and was talking nonsense. Niu Chunmiao stepped forward and tried to persuade her to leave.
Looking at Aunt Zhou's departing back, Wei Ruolai's heart was filled with self-blame. He felt that if it weren't for him, all this might not have happened. He silently vowed to find out the truth of the matter and give an explanation to the dead Awen.

After Shen Tunan got home from get off work, he sat down on the sofa without saying a word. When it was time for dinner, he still kept his head down and only cared about shoveling rice into his mouth.
The attentive Su Cishu noticed her husband's abnormality. She put down her chopsticks and asked softly, "Tunan, are you worried about something? You haven't spoken since you came back."
Shen Tunan raised his head and looked at his wife's concerned eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to pour out his worries. He sighed and said, "Today I discovered something sad. Yu Shiqing and his gang secretly manipulated the construction treasury bonds and made a fortune in the national crisis! They did this without regard for the interests of the country and the people!"
Su Cishu was surprised when she heard this. She knew the seriousness of the matter, but she still comforted him, "Tunan, don't be too anxious. These people will eventually receive the punishment they deserve."
Shen Jinzhen also interjected, "Yeah, brother, don't get too upset about this. We believe the government will handle this matter well."
However, Shen Tunan shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "I am completely disappointed with this corrupt Nanjing government. They only care about their own interests and don't care about the lives of ordinary people. If this continues, how can the country have hope? In this situation, they don't want to think about how to deal with it, but instead want to cover it up. They are really rotten to the core."
After saying that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks heavily, stood up, and walked into the study. Su Cishu and Shen Jinzhen were left at the dining table, looking at each other, both feeling extremely heavy.
