Before long, the property security manager arrived with five or six security guards.

　　Seeing the scene before him, he was also at a loss. Observing that these people were still somewhat restrained for the moment, they decided to stay in the company with them and quietly wait for the police to arrive.

　　After about ten minutes, several uniformed police officers arrived. After asking a few questions, they took the office manager and those who had barged into the company back to the police station for handling.

　　Once the police took everyone away, the company’s employees started to discuss among themselves, speculating whether the boss Sun Aiguo had fled due to debts.

　　At this point, many people began to quietly pack their belongings, preparing to go online and look for other job opportunities.

　　Fang Yichen picked up his phone again and dialed Sun Aiguo's number, but all he heard was the system message:

　　“The number you have dialed is powered off...”

　　Helpless, he sighed and gave up trying to reach boss Sun. It was clear that the boss had fled, and the company was finished!

　　Not sure who spread the news about Sun Aiguo fleeing, but this morning, all the other creditors rushed to the company, ready to take anything valuable they could find.

　　Luckily, Fang Yichen always carried his laptop in his backpack, or it might have been seized by his furious creditors.

　　The situation escalated into a near brawl, with a large contingent of police arriving to restore order.

　　From the brief words of the officers at the station, Fang Yichen learned that his boss, Sun Aiguo, had transferred over 800,000 RMB from the company’s account.

　　Even the company’s finance staff were taken away by the police.

　　The company owed its employees over 600,000 RMB in wages, and owed suppliers and clients over a million. The creditors had united to prepare a lawsuit against Sun, the boss.

　　As a result, Fang Yichen lost his job.

　　In the following days, he struggled to find suitable work, and his savings dwindled.

　　Previously at Qihang Electronics, Fang Yichen had risen to the position of technical department manager, earning a monthly salary of nearly 30,000 RMB.

　　For the past two years, he had been saving up, planning to buy a flat in Shen city—nothing too big, just a three-bedroom apartment around 80-90 square meters would do.

　　Before he has a girlfriend, he earned a salary that, apart from paying rent, meals, cellphone bills, and commuting expenses, left him with hardly any other expenditures. He saved all he could.

　　He didn’t dare to buy in the center of Shenzhen; that was beyond his budget. He could afford something a bit further out, and maybe get a used car to commute to work.

　　When the time comes, find a suitable wife to marry. Then his parents could retire and come live with him. The winters in Shen city were much warmer than back home.

　　In theory, Fang Yichen, who had graduated from university and worked for three years, earning a monthly salary of over 20,000 RMB, should have some savings.

　　But he was captivated by Ling Ye, perhaps clouded by the haze of a first love. Besides, Ling Ye was so beautiful, so charming...

　　Since becoming Fang Yichen’s girlfriend, Ling Ye soon quit her job, claiming it was too tiring.

　　“Fine, if you don’t want to work!” Fang Yichen thought: “I can support us both with my income.”

　　At this time, Ling Ye began to show a side of him that was previously unseen - he became extravagant, spending money generously and buying whatever expensive items.

　　She had several LV bags, and he bought Chanel makeup, skincare products, and perfumes in complete sets. She also had a full collection of high-end jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and bracelets.

　　She often goes on trips abroad with her best friend to places like Gaul, Milan, and Japan, claiming she wants to broaden her horizons, but in reality, it’s all about shopping sprees. Every time she returns, she’s loaded with bags upon bags of purchases.

　　When dining out, it has to be at high-end Western restaurants.

　　The wine must be Gaul, and her clothes are all expensive designer brands from abroad.

　　Her wardrobe is bursting with branded clothes, and she has stacks of shoe boxes, at least twenty or thirty pairs, all of significant value.

　　As Ling Ye puts it, “You’re responsible for making money to support the family, and I’m responsible for being beautiful.”

　　While there’s nothing inherently wrong with that statement, Ling Ye’s extravagant spending puts a lot of pressure on Fang Yichen.

　　Fang Yichen has spoken to her several times, advising her to be more restrained, but Ling Ye instead flew into a rage, saying:

　　“You don’t love me at all. Women are born to enjoy life! Don’t you know that? If you can’t handle it, why did you get involved with me?”

　　This sentence really hits a sore spot! In the end, he, as a man, had to admit his mistake and back down. Because of this, he had to take on some side jobs during his free time to increase his income.

　　Luckily, his skills were decent, and the pay from these side jobs was not low, which barely covered Lingye’s high-end expenses.

　　However, since he became unemployed, most of the side jobs he used to take on were gone due to the economic downturn. Naturally, he couldn’t afford Lingye’s extravagant spending anymore.

　　During their six months of being together, Lingye spent all of Fang Yichen’s savings of over three hundred thousand yuan. Without financial support, her lavish lifestyle couldn’t continue.

　　Fang Yichen’s previous limitless efforts made Lingye take them for granted. But now that she couldn’t spend money freely, she suddenly couldn’t accept it, causing extreme dissatisfaction.

　　After mocking Fang Yichen several times and calling him useless, their attitude naturally led to a big fight, and the argument made Lingye lose the last bit of affection for him.

　　Lately, while Fang Yichen was out looking for a job, Lingye took away her personal belongings, didn’t even return to the rented house, and even blocked his phone number and WeChat.

　　When Fang Yichen called with a different number and answered the call, Lingye recognized his voice and coldly taunted him.

　　Yesterday evening, Fang Yichen received a call from a friend saying they saw Lingye at a bar with another man, in a rather ambiguous situation, and this man seemed quite wealthy.

　　Although he was somewhat unwilling to believe it, he still took out his phone and dialed Lingye’s number.

　　“Ring... ring...”

　　No one answered the call, so he tried again, but the call was hung up, and then the phone was turned off.

　　Fang Yichen started to believe his friend’s words a little. In fact, he had already suspected something during this period, and anger began to well up inside him.

　　Just when his anger was hard to calm down, he heard a notification sound from his phone indicating a new message.

　　Opening the message, his face instantly turned pale. He clenched his left hand tightly around the phone and his right hand into a fist, with his fingernails digging into his palm.

　　There was only one sentence in the message:

　　“Fang Yichen! Stop looking for me. You’re not worthy of me. The life I want is something you can’t give!”

　　Upon reading this, Fang Yichen angrily threw his phone to the ground. With a loud bang, the phone case cracked open, and the phone rolled under the bed.

　　He was panting heavily, and his chest was heaving up and down. At this moment, with a pale face and a fierce look in his eyes, he made an important decision in his heart.
