Chapter 17: A Good Omen: The Red Cloud Dissipate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Li’s eyes were filled with unwillingness to accept the reality, and the hatred in his heart could not be vented.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and work!

“You owe so much money. If you don’t work hard, how can you pay it back!!”

At this moment, beside the sewer where Chen Li was working, a burly man urged him.

Hearing the rough man’s scolding, Chen Li felt extremely humiliated!

In the past, he had at least been a shop manager.

He had always been the one to scold others. When was it his turn to be scolded by others?!

This huge contrast made him feel very unbalanced.

He could not understand why there suddenly had been a problem with the business two years ago1.

Moreover, it was an unavoidable liability that made his assets vaporize.

He had even encountered a lot of unlucky things, making his family’s situation worse.

Now that he had a huge debt, he could only borrow money from the loan sharks. In the end, he could only repay it slowly.

Now, he had obtained a job of repairing sewers under the introduction of the loan sharks.

He saw that he was extremely dirty, and had a disgusting sour smell all over his body.

Chen Li felt that he was about to die. He said painfully, “No, Big Brother, aren’t you a loan shark? Why are you introducing such a job!

“Don’t you have other ways to collect debts? Why are you still introducing jobs to me?!”

One had to know that on the Internet, he had seen all kinds of people who borrowed money from loan sharks and did not pay it back. In the end, the loan sharks cut off their hands and legs.

There were even body parts that were sold. In short, they were loan sharks, and the outcome of failing to pay them back was very tragic.

Chen Li was very desperate about this world, and had no hope at all.

Unless he became rich overnight or the entire world changed, there would be no hope of staging a comeback in his lifetime.

The burly man opened his eyes wide, and said fiercely, “Bah, kid, remember, you’re not borrowing from a loan shark. The loan rates are all in line with the state’s requirements. They just happen to be stuck on the dividing line.

“We want money, but we’re not gangsters. We won’t do those things.

“You should just work for me, kid. Every minute you waste now is another minute longer that it’ll take you to repay me, understand?!”

Hearing the other party’s words, Chen Li complained in his heart, ‘It’s not a loan shark. It’s about the same as a loan shark. Now that you’re forcing me to pay back the money, you’re not as cordial as when I was taking the loan.’

Seeing the rod in the other party’s hand rise again, Chen Li shut his mouth and continued to work.

‘F*ck, when I find an opportunity, I’ll kill you first!’

After cursing viciously in his heart, Chen Li could only obediently work in the cesspit.

Seeing Chen Li continue to work hard, the boorish man thought to himself, ‘This kid is good at work. If he really can’t do it, I can plead with Boss and bring him to earn money to repay the money.’

Looking at Chen Li’s face that was similar to his deceased son’s, he felt a faint compassion in his heart, and planned to end this job to plead for mercy.

Chen Li, who did not know what the burly man was thinking, cursed and worked in his heart.

July 15th.

In the morning, Chu Xiu washed up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the shelter.

Although most of the newly bought shelters were underground, there was also a villa built above the ground.

Chu Xiu walked to the courtyard of the villa, and looked up at the sky.

The red clouds that had always lingered in the sky had already dissipated completely.

Chu Xiu knew that a huge change was about to happen.

“Black Bean, you have to take good care of the house. Don’t let anyone in.”

Chu Xiu turned around and lowered his head to speak to Black Bean, which was following him.

This time, Chu Xiu did not intend to bring Black Bean to the hotel with him.

Before rebirth, Black Bean had only mutated after experiencing a rain of blood.

Chu Xiu could not guarantee that Black Bean would successfully mutate in this life, but he had done everything he could.

If Black Bean did not successfully mutate, Chu Xiu would not show mercy.

As if sensing Chu Xiu’s feelings, Black Bean gently nudged Chu Xiu’s pants.

“Hahaha, you can do it. I believe in you!”

After rubbing the dog’s head fiercely again, Chu Xiu drove the armored vehicle in the direction of the hotel.

Seeing Chu Xiu leave, Black Bean was very reluctant.

However, when Chu Xiu’s armored vehicle completely disappeared from sight, Black Bean found a place to lie down. It had to do the mission Chu Xiu had given it and take good care of the house.

In the armored vehicle, Chu Xiu was playing the morning news on the screen as he drove slowly.

At this moment, on the news, a few anchors and experts were discussing the disappearance of the red clouds.

“Expert Gao, what do you think of the dissipation of the red clouds in the sky?” a well-dressed female anchor asked the middle-aged man beside her with a serious expression.

The middle-aged man who was called Expert Gao glanced at the female host’s figure, and pretended to be serious.

“Expert Yuan and I have studied this red cloud phenomenon before.

“We discovered that this red cloud was not caused by refraction of airflow and fiber optics.

“It seems to have appeared out of thin air. We think that this red cloud is not a cloud, but a special substance. However, everyone, don’t worry too much about whether it’s a mysterious substance.

“We speculate that it’s caused by a special chemical phenomenon. It’s very likely that it’s the effect of environmental destruction. The red clouds are formed by a chemical reaction.

“The sudden disappearance now is very likely due to a reaction with the ground.

“There’s no guarantee that they will disappear completely. The greatest possibility is that they will fuse with the ground and become colorless.

“I can’t guarantee if this reaction will affect people, but don’t worry.

“Our research institute has also made a breakthrough in research on red clouds. Here, I suggest that everyone can buy the preventive health potion developed by our research institute.

“As long as you buy our potion, it can effectively provide immunity to this reaction.”

On the screen, Expert Gao tried his best to promote a yellow bottle in his hand.

Chu Xiu could only sigh at how impressive the other party was. He could actually use this method to sell things.

‘What a pity. It looks like the other party was planning to launch it soon.

‘The sudden disappearance of the red cloud caught them off guard. They can only deal with it.’

Chu Xiu quickly noticed the anxiety on the other party’s face, and immediately guessed some secrets.

However, Chu Xiu only treated this as a joke.

If his prediction was not wrong, he would attend this large banquet today.

He might even be treated as a joke by others.

For people in their positions, there were no secrets.

In particular, he had sold all his shares in the company, and did not have any other rights.

In the eyes of some people, it would be like a baby holding a golden brick.

“However, this is more interesting. I can’t wait!”

Chu Xiu revealed an impatient expression. He had been waiting for this day!
