"Yes!" The young man responded with full energy, and his expression didn't look like he was joking at all.
"Why do you suddenly have such an idea? How can I believe that you are not acting on impulse this time, or... this is a bad joke or a bet?" Zhuang Liaoyuan's expression was very stern.
The boy gritted his teeth and raised his eyes with determination, "Dad, I am serious this time. As for the reason, you know that I have never had any big ideals or ambitions. I just don't want the people around me to worry about me anymore. I just hope that when something happens, I can protect you and be your support instead of a burden. That's all."
Zhuang Liaoyuan couldn't recover from his shock for a long time after listening to his son's words.
If Zhuang Rongguang said something empty and hypocritical like "I want to defend my country and make great achievements", he would not believe a word of it.
But this is what he said.
Just when Zhuang Liaoyuan was full of doubts, Zhuang Rongguang took out a terrifying long whip from behind and raised his hands in front of his father. "Dad, I wanted to listen to my sister and hide it from you, but I just can't get over it in my heart."
Perhaps recalling what happened last night, the boy's body trembled slightly. "Yesterday, I left home to get money. I listened to Sun Bin and Liang Haoqiang and went to the casino. As a result, I fell into someone else's trap and lost five million."
"What did you say!!!" Upon hearing this short sentence, Zhuang Liaoyuan slammed the table and stood up, his face suddenly changed.
Zhuang Rongguang moved forward on his knees and put the whip on the desk in front of Zhuang Liaoyuan, then continued, "Those people are not locals. They look hard to deal with, and they are outnumbered. At that time, I was counting on Sun Bin and Liang Haoqiang to raise money to redeem me, but I didn't expect that they would never come..."
"Oh, you expect these two guys to raise money to redeem you..." Zhuang Liaoyuan's face was full of gloom, "How could I, Zhuang Liaoyuan, have a son as stupid as you..."
"Then I did something even more stupid..." Zhuang Rongguang said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't dare tell my family, and there was no one else I could turn to for help. I was desperate, so I could only call my sister..."
“Asshole!!!” Zhuang Liaoyuan threw the teacup at him. At the same time, an extremely strong ominous premonition suddenly emerged in his mind, so that his whole face changed. “Did something happen to your sister last night? Tell me!!!”
If Ke'er hadn't had an accident, how could this kid have changed so much!
With his experience, it was easy for him to imagine what might have happened in the situation last night. When he thought about what might have happened to Ke'er, Zhuang Liaoyuan's mind was completely torn apart...
"My sister had already brought enough money as they requested, but they still wouldn't let her go. They said they wanted to charge interest, and asked my sister... asked my sister to stay with them for one night..."
The next second, with a "snap" sound, Zhuang Liaoyuan's whip in his hand hit the boy's shoulder hard.
Zhuang Rongguang was immediately whipped and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhuang Keer rushed in with an anxious look on her face. She protected Zhuang Rongguang and stopped her father from beating him. "Rongguang! Didn't I tell you not to tell father!!! What's wrong with you!"
Zhuang Rongguang turned pale because of the pain, "Sister... I don't want to hide in your arms anymore... I will bear the responsibilities... These are what I deserve..."
