Chapter 21 Maniac

Chen Jinshui’s son died at the age of eighteen. He was in his senior year of high school.

If he didn’t die, he would have finished his college entrance examinations and would be waiting to enter university.

He was his only son, and the source of all his pride and life.

People who knew Chen Jinshui and his son often said that this child really had no resemblance to his father. The kid was tall and handsome, and was good in his studies.

Otherwise, could it be that Chen Jinshui had gotten lucky. How could an ignorant and plain-looking man like him have such an outstanding son?

But Chen Jinshui knew that this was his son. His biological son.

His son got his looks and intelligence from his mother, she was his wife, who had been dead for ten years.

His wife was blessed in everything except for her poor health. She had been weak and ill since she was a child. She took lots of medicine all the time. She would not have married him if she was in better shape.

However, no matter how ill his wife was, she had managed to bear him a good son, so he did not mind. He had always been good to his wife. Their family of three was very close when his wife was around.

In any case, he was a local. He had a house and could rent it out whenever he wanted. He also had a steady job at the factory.

After his wife passed away, he did not think of remarrying. He had a son and a house. The good days were ahead of him.

He was living his life in enjoyment-holding a job, collecting rent and raising his son all at the same time. He had initially planned to live like this until he was old, but a demolition notice disrupted the peace at home.

When the neighbors heard that there was a new house to live in and that they could get a big sum of compensation in cash, they moved out happily. However, the Chen father and son were nostalgic. They liked to live in their current house. With two courtyards, one in front and the other at the back, they could plant their own vegetables.

Whatever the developers offered them, they rejected and refused to move.

With the Chen family not wanting to move, the developer was anxious.

Until this point, they were at odds with the Chen family. They used both soft and hard methods against them.

Just as Chen Jinshui was about to succumb and sit down for negotiations, things took a 180-degree turn.

One night, when he was coming home from tutoring, Chen Jinshui’s son fell into a well at a nearby construction site and died

The moment Chen Jinshui received the news, he lost it.

He felt that it was all the developer’s fault. His son wouldn’t have fallen to his death at night if they had not wanted to demolish the house and build something there.

By the time he was done with his son’s funeral, he sat at his doorstep. He had gone without food and drinks for some time. While he was watching the construction site beside his house, banging away every day, a crazy idea of revenge came to him.

Jin City, Sko Fencing Training Center.

Three dark-skinned, middle-aged men were behind a nearby bush, staring at two small boys who had just emerged from it. “Why are there two little boys? Didn’t Shi Jinrong have only one son?”

“Jinshui, did you get your facts right?”

“Yes I did. It’s Shi Jinrong’s son.”

It was almost summer vacation and he had just finished a class. Even though the fencing center had air-conditioning, Shi Tongyang still felt unbearably hot.

It felt even hotter now that they were outside.

“It’s so hot. I want ice cream.”

“What flavor do you want?” Shi Wangyue asked, looking at the nearby kiosk.

“Forget it, I’ll go myself. Wait for me.” Shi Tongyang couldn’t wait any longer. He threw his bag at Wangyue and ran to the convenience store.

Beside the fencing center was the Scott Language Training Center. When Shi Xiuyan came out of the school after French class, she only saw her cousin and not her brother.

“Where’s my brother?”

Shi Xiuyan was ten years old.

Girls generally grow faster than boys. She was wearing a white dress and already had the posture of a young teenage girl.

“He had gone to buy ice cream.”

“Why didn’t you go get it for him?” she asked with mild disapproval.

Shi Wangyue did not want to answer her question. He turned away slightly and looked towards the other side.

Not far away, by the bushes, one of the men became even more excited when he saw Shi Xiuyan. “That’s Shi Jinrong’s daughter.”

“We must not fail later.” Chen Jinshui’s tone was deep, and there was madness in his eyes. Unfortunately, the two people beside him were nervous and excited. They did not notice

it.
