Chapter 1 Midnight in Jiangcheng

Midnight in Jiangcheng.

The Dafuhao KTV, Room 302.

On the sofa, Chen Xiao suddenly woke up.

His mouth was parched, and his head throbbed as if it would split open with the slightest touch.

After a brief moment of blankness and confusion, Chen Xiao remembered where he was and what he was doing.

To borrow money, he had treated Long Yaoyang to drinks and karaoke, even inviting his girlfriend and a group of old classmates to accompany them.

When the mood was high, Long Yaoyang opened a bottle of XO and said to Chen Xiao, "If you finish this bottle, I'll lend you the money."

Without a word, Chen Xiao snatched the bottle and downed it in one go.

Then he blacked out and didn't wake up until now.

At this moment, the scene before him was a mess of cups and plates, and the room was already deserted.

Even his girlfriend, Sun Li, hadn't stayed to look after him.

Clearly, the loan had fallen through again.

Chen Xiao buried his face in his hands, sinking into deep despair.

His mother was seriously ill and needed 200,000 yuan for surgery within three days.

He had sold off the family property, but only managed to scrape together 50,000 yuan.

He went to relatives to borrow money, but they avoided him like the plague.

With nowhere else to turn, he thought of his university classmate, Long Yaoyang.

Long Yaoyang's family was in the hotel business, making him a genuine second-generation rich kid.

He was also the wealthiest person Chen Xiao knew.

Even this Dafuhao KTV was Long Yaoyang's property.

Two hundred thousand yuan was just a month's worth of pocket money to him.

But the truth was, he had sung the songs, drank the wine, but hadn't borrowed the money.

Not only had he failed to borrow money, but he had also spent several thousand yuan on drinks.

This made his already struggling family even worse off.

Sun Li hadn't looked after him after he got drunk, probably because she was angry with him.

Chen Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears, and could only force a bitter smile.

Why did fate always bully those who were already poor and suffering?

Half a bottle of wine remained in front of him, and Chen Xiao was about to grab it to drown his sorrows when he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

He pricked up his ears.

The sound was coming from the bathroom, and it was a man and a woman.

"Hey, what are you doing? You want to do it again?"

"Hurry up, stop talking, let's do it one more time before Chen Xiao wakes up!"

"What's your rush? That useless guy is sleeping like a dead pig; he might not even wake up by morning... Ouch, be gentle~"

Chen Xiao's mind went blank!

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck the top of his head!

Because the voices of the man and woman were none other than Long Yaoyang and Sun Li.

It was obvious what they were doing.

Chen Xiao's forehead veins bulged with anger.

I treated you well, and you repay me by cuckolding me?!

In extreme anger, Chen Xiao mustered a surge of strength and kicked the bathroom door.

"Bang!"

The door splintered into pieces, and Long Yaoyang and Sun Li were dumbstruck, still in a position that was difficult to describe!

"Ah!!!"

Sun Li was the first to react, covering her face and screaming loudly.

Long Yaoyang was also startled.

But when he saw that the person standing outside the door was just Chen Xiao, the fear on his face vanished.

He even nonchalantly fastened his belt and said calmly, "Oh, Chen Xiao, you woke up so soon!"

Chen Xiao's teeth chattered.

"Did I wake up at the wrong time? Shouldn't I have interrupted your good time?"

Sun Li explained nervously, "Chen Xiao, this is just a misunderstanding, we had some drinks... it's not what you think."

Chen Xiao was trembling all over.

"Misunderstanding? Are you telling me this is a misunderstanding? Sun Li, do you think I'm blind or brainless?"

At this moment, Long Yaoyang put his arm around Sun Li and said arrogantly, "Sun Li, you don't have to be afraid of him. It's good that he caught us. From now on, you're with me. It's a hundred times better than being with this waste!"

Sun Li was immediately stunned. "Young Master Long, are you serious?"

Chen Xiao was completely dumbfounded. "Sun Li, do you know what you're doing? You've only known him for half a day!"

Having climbed onto the high branch of Long Yaoyang, Sun Li immediately turned against him.

"So what if I've only known him for half a day? It's a blessing from my past life to be favored by Young Master Long. Being with a waste like you for three years is not even worth half an hour with Young Master Long!"

Chen Xiao looked at Sun Li in disbelief, his heart growing cold.

They had been together for three years, but it seemed like he had never truly known this woman.

Long Yaoyang squeezed Sun Li's butt hard with a lecherous grin.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to let a knockout like Xiao Li be with a waste like you?"

"But Chen Xiao, I really have to thank you. You've been with Xiao Li for three years, and she's still unopened. You're really too kind!"

As he said this, Long Yaoyang deliberately licked his lips.

"That taste, tsk tsk, it's so damn exhilarating!"

Sun Li blushed and buried her head in Long Yaoyang's chest. "Oh, you're so bad, why would you say that about me?"

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao's eyes turned even redder.

They had been together for three years, and every time he tried to touch Sun Li, she refused.

Sun Li had said that she wanted to save the most beautiful moment for their wedding night.

Who would have thought…

Now that things had come to this, Chen Xiao didn't want to dwell on it any longer.

"Sun Li, I'll just consider myself blind for not seeing what kind of person you are until today. Fine, let's break up peacefully, and you give me back the money."

Sun Li pouted and said, "When did I owe you money?"

Chen Xiao said angrily, "The 50,000 yuan from selling my family property is in your card!"

To pay for his mother's medical treatment, he had sold everything of value in his home.

Sun Li suddenly realized and sneered.

"Hehe, Chen Xiao, I've suffered with a good-for-nothing like you for three years. My youth loss fee alone is worth more than that amount. You still want to take the money back? How can you even say that!"

"Besides, your mother's illness is a bottomless pit. What are you going to fill it with, you waste? Even if you sell your cheap life, it won't be worth that much money!"

Chen Xiao's eyes widened. He didn't expect Sun Li to be so shameless.

"That's my mother's life-saving money. If you don't give me the money today, I'll, I'll…"

Having suffered one blow after another, if he couldn't get this 50,000 yuan back, he really wouldn't be able to live.

Sun Li deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to anger Chen Xiao. "What will you do? I just won't give it to you. What can you do to me?"

Chen Xiao took a step forward, his eyes spitting fire.

Long Yaoyang immediately stepped in front of her. "What's wrong, Chen Xiao? You want to hit a woman?"

Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't take any further action, he sneered disdainfully.

"Let me tell you, she's my woman now, and it's not your turn to hit her!"

"Besides, Xiao Li is right. Anyway, your mother's illness can't be cured, so it's better to just let her die!"

Chen Xiao glared at Long Yaoyang, his eyes almost cracking. "What did you say?"

Long Yaoyang crossed his arms and said with a sneer.

"I said, it's better to just let your mother die! Poor people don't deserve to live anyway!"

Enough is enough.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Xiao punched Long Yaoyang in the face.

"Damn, I haven't even hit you yet, and you dare to make the first move?"

Long Yaoyang came to his senses and punched back hard.

He was tall and strong and had practiced taekwondo. How could an ordinary person withstand this punch?

Chen Xiao was instantly knocked to the ground.

Before he could even stand up, a group of lackeys rushed in at the sound and started punching and kicking Chen Xiao.

"Damn it, you waste, you think you can fight me? You're really tired of living!"

"Beat this waste to death! I'll take responsibility if he dies!"

Fists and feet rained down on Chen Xiao, and he could only desperately curl up to protect his head.

But soon, blood was flowing everywhere.

The lackeys beat Chen Xiao unconscious, threw him into the trash heap from the back door, and left him there.

At midnight, thunder roared in the sky, and it started to rain heavily.

It seemed that even the heavens were helping to do evil.

The heavy rain washed away the bloodstains on the ground.

A bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck Chen Xiao's body directly.

But the next moment, an incredible scene appeared.

Chen Xiao, who had been struck by lightning, was unharmed.

However, the yin-yang jade that he always wore around his neck cracked…
