There is everything in the dream, and if the daydream becomes true......
The genial sunlight streamed through the French windows onto the face, creating a warm and cozy feeling.
Outside the window, a blue sky with white clouds painted the scene.
Cheng Cheng stretched lazily, in a delightful mood.
"Cheng, wake up."
In the bed, a smooth figure climbed up, a pointed chin against his chest, smiling sweetly.
"Cheng, who am I?"
Facing such a teasing question, Cheng Cheng wouldn't foolishly ask.
The name doesn't really matter.
What matters is the pleasant conversation they had at the bar last night, confirming through their eyes that they were a good match.
"Sweetie, did you sleep well last night?"
Forgetting the name of the other person is not something new for Cheng Cheng.
"Bad guy, you said not letting me sleep all night, now I have dark circles."
The girl pouted and coquettishly tapped Cheng Cheng's sturdy chest.
Cheng Cheng earnestly examined the girl's watery eyes, her eye bags indeed slightly dark. He reached out and lightly touched her straight nose.
"Pandas are not as cute as my sweetie."
"Bad guy."
The girl reached for the phone next to the pillow, tapped a few times, and then turned the screen towards Cheng Cheng.
"Help me decide if this dress looks good on me."
Cheng Cheng glanced at the phone screen and without hesitation said, "It looks good, buy it."
The girl smiled, turned around, leaned on Cheng Cheng's arm, and showed the phone screen to both of them. Delicate and fair fingers pointed to a few spots.
"This lipstick brand, my friend used it, she said it's really good."
"Buy."
"And this bag, I've liked it for a long time."
"Buy."
"Anything else you like?" Cheng Cheng generously said, "I'll help you empty your shopping cart."
"Not for now." The girl grinned, "I've placed the order."
The girl quickly placed the order with a few taps, only the final payment was pending.
Cheng Cheng took a glance at the girl's phone screen.
Just over 3000 yuan.
Girl, you're really straightforward.
Other girls spend tens of thousands on just one bag.
Cheng Cheng reached for the phone on the bedside table, prepared to make the payment for the girl.
Opening the phone, the lit screen displayed over a dozen missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.
Cheng Cheng ignored those bothersome folks, directly opened the shopping app.
"You choose the option for someone else to pay."
"I know." The girl sweetly replied.
With a few taps on the phone, Cheng Cheng used his fingerprint to make the payment for the girl and tossed the phone aside.
"Sweetie..."
Cheng Cheng's hand reached the girl's slender waist...
"Bad guy... wait, why didn't the payment go through?" The girl stared at her phone screen, puzzled.
"It should be a network delay." Cheng Cheng casually replied.
"No! Order failed, please change the payment method."
"Let me check." To dispel the girl's doubts quickly, Cheng Cheng took her phone and looked at it.
Indeed, the payment did not go through.
What's going on?
Cheng Cheng picked up his own phone that he had thrown aside.
'Dear, insufficient available balance, payment failed!'
What the hell?
Cheng Cheng opened his account and was dumbfounded.
His credit limit of several hundred thousand turned into zero?
Negative over 60,000, that's his monthly spending bill.
On this shopping app, he spent at least one or two million, always repaying on time. How could his limit suddenly disappear?
Trash, deleted.
"Cheng, what's going on?" The girl leaned over, wanting to see Cheng Cheng's phone screen.
"It's nothing."
Cheng Cheng opened other payment methods, trying to use a credit card.
Still payment failed.
Immediately, he received a message.
'Sorry, your account has been frozen...'
Cheng Cheng tried other credit cards, all receiving messages about account freezing.
"Frozen my ass."
"What's wrong?" The girl asked with a frowning face.
Cheng Cheng didn't respond to the girl, opened the app to use a debit card for payment, but it also failed.
The message arrived instantly, insufficient available balance.
Impossible!
His mom called the day before yesterday, saying she transferred a million pocket money. After nagging for a while, asking him to spend it wisely.
Quickly logging into the bank app to check the balance.
'Your account has been frozen, unable to log in.'
Cheng Cheng was dumbfounded.
The girl was also dumbfounded, immediately angry. She got up, kicked Cheng Cheng's waist.
"Scum."
The girl angrily got up, dressed.
At this moment, Cheng Cheng's head was a bit confused. Losing money was a small matter; the most important thing was, he didn't know what had happened.
Yesterday, he spent over ten thousand on a single bill at the bar. How did everything become so absurd overnight?
What happened?
Seeing the girl getting dressed, heading towards the door, Cheng Cheng reminded, "Have breakfast before you leave."
"Hmph... scum." The girl turned around, glared at Cheng Cheng on the bed, and left with a slam of the door.
Cheng Cheng sighed helplessly.
Opening the contacts, he found his mom's number.
Ask what's going on.
'Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off...'
Mom powered off?
Cheng Cheng quickly hung up and opened dad's number.
'Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off...'
Damn it...
His parents' private numbers never powered off.
Checking other two public numbers for dad and mom, they were all cold and unresponsive.
What the hell were dad and mom doing?
Opening missed calls, several buddies had called.
'Cheng, where are you?'
'Something big happened.'
'Cheng, check the news quickly.'
'...'
What urgent matter had happened without a trace of it reaching him?
Cheng Cheng opened the news app on his phone.
The bold headline on the front page blinded Cheng Cheng's eyes.
'President of Cheng Group and his wife missing, suspected of fleeing with funds!'
The picture displayed his dad and mom.
Below were more extended news, all about the president of Cheng Group and his wife missing and running away, causing a chain reaction like a tsunami.
To be honest, looking at these news, Cheng Cheng felt a bit panicked.
Quickly opening dad and mom's numbers again, checking for messages.
There were indeed...
Dad sent him a message at one in the morning last night, with only one word.
'Run.'
"Run your...!"
Dad's what the hell was his own grandma?
"Run your sister, run away and take me!" Cheng Cheng was almost in tears, threw his phone aside, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent.
You guys are setting me up.
I'm your only son.
Cheng Cheng was not a brainless rich kid, and it could even be said that he inherited the shrewd genes of his parents. He was a campus celebrity, a learning prodigy since childhood.
Having a rich family and being a learning prodigy made him the white prince in the eyes of many schoolmates.
However, such an image collapsed overnight.
Cheng Cheng was well aware that if the matter of his parents running away was confirmed, a terrifying nightmare awaited
him.
'Life, vast and boundless! Drifting with the waves, floating and sinking!'
Sink then!
Suddenly sank into hell.
Doubting life.
