Mo Guanshan was also present at the time. Wang Mingcong’s offer was too tempting. He said that as long as someone picked up a marble in the pool, he would reward the person with 10,000 yuan.
That was 10,000 yuan! Mo Guanshan was just an ordinary cleaner. He only earned 4,000 yuan a month here. Now, he was actually offered 10,000 yuan for picking up a marble?!
At that moment, not to mention the people who were servants, even many people who had come to the party at that time instantly became excited.
Not all of them were rich second-generation heirs from Wang Mingcong’s circle. There were many Internet celebrities brought over by friends. They were all money-grabbers.
Boxes of glass beads spilled into the pool, and many people jumped into the pool.
This included Mo Guanshan and his son, who had come to work part-time during the summer.
His family was poor, and his son had managed to get into a top high school with great difficulty. He had not even collected enough money for his tuition fees. He had come here to work because someone had introduced him. Otherwise, he, who did not even have a primary school diploma, would not be able to earn as much as 4,000 yuan a month.
Mo Guanshan’s son, Mo Xiaoshan, was a sensible kid. He knew that his family had not had it easy. Due to poverty, he did not even know what his mother looked like. Before he was born, his mother ran away with another man. Then his mother abandoned him at the door of Mo Guanshan’s house after giving birth to him.
Mo Xiaoshan was a child from the mountains. He was not particularly good at swimming, so everyone could imagine what happened to him.
There were a lot of marbles floating in the pool. Wang Mingcong got tired of playing with them, so he left after announcing that Qin Gongming would keep the ledger and get money from him later.
Most of the rich second-generation heirs left with Wang Mingcong, while a small number of them brought their partners into rooms.
The pool was still very lively, and there were many poor people like Mo Guanshan.
Mo Guanshan didn’t even know how his son, Mo Xiaoshan, had died. Because there were so many people, the entire pool was filled with people. He didn’t even hear Mo Xiaoshan’s cry for help. He was still fighting for the marbles.
It wasn’t until they were tired from the hard work and there were only a few marbles left in the pool that everyone finally stopped.
At that time, Mo Guanshan was extremely happy as he counted the marbles in his pocket. This amount of money was more than enough for his son, Mo Xiaoshan, to finish high school and university. He also thought that Mo Xiaoshan might have gotten as many marbles as he did. If he was frugal, he might even be able to have the down payment for a house in his hometown!
However, before he could celebrate for long, he realized that he couldn’t find his son, Mo Xiaoshan.
“Hello, I’m sorry. Can you move aside?”
Wang Mingcong left, and so did the rich second-generation heirs. Everyone had picked up what they needed to pick up and fished up what they needed to fish for. Many people had already gone ashore to register with Qin Gongming. “Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, where are you?”
Mo Guanshan was a little anxious. It was not because he could not find his son, but because he was very excited. He really wanted to know how many marbles his son had gotten and if it was enough for him and his son to live comfortably in the future.
But slowly, Mo Guanshan started to get anxious. More than half of the people in the pool had already gone up, and he had already been pushed around half the pool.
He remembered that Mo Xiaoshan was not far away from his position at that time. It was impossible for him to not find Mo Xiaoshan after an hour.
As he thought about this, Mo Guanshan stepped on something soft.
The water in the pool was not deep. Mo Guanshan, who was 1.8 meters tall, could still poke his head out to breathe. There were fewer people in the pool, and no one was squeezing in. Mo Guanshan slipped and fell forward.
With this bounce, all the marbles that Mo Guanshan had been holding in his arms earlier were scattered.
Mo Guanshan had grown up in the mountains. He knew how to swim, but he wasn’t particularly good at it. Thus, when he jumped, he immediately panicked. His hands and feet started to flutter in the water.
“F*ck! And marbles!”
Mo Guanshan’s movements were not particularly big, but more than half of the people in the pool had already left. Therefore, when all his marbles fell out, it was seen by many people who had already handed in their marbles and were about to leave. It was also seen by the people around him.
In an instant, quite a number of people jumped in and squeezed over to Mo Guanshan’s side, snatching the marbles that Mo Guanshan had dropped.
“I… Gulp… My marbles… My marbles…”
Mo Guanshan choked. He couldn’t find a place to put his weight, so he could only float on the surface of the water. Seeing the marbles that he had worked so hard to get snatched away by these people, his eyes suddenly turned bitter.
He was still thinking about the future, but just like that, all his beautiful wishes turned into bubbles.
“F*ck!”
Mo Guanshan’s marbles were all snatched away, and many people had already left the pool. Mo Guanshan barely managed to steady himself, but before he could, he stepped on something again.
He was so angry that he held his breath after struggling for a while. He wanted to see what had caused all the marbles he had worked so hard to find to be gone.
However, it didn’t matter if he didn’t look at it. When he did, Mo Guanshan’s face turned pale.
It turned out that the thing he had stepped on was none other than his son, whom he had been looking for and had not heard from.
What was going on? Why was his son underwater?!
Mo Guanshan panicked. He quickly reached out to pull on his son.
However, Mo Xiaoshan’s body was limp. No matter how hard Mo Guanshan tried, he couldn’t pull his son up. He almost choked on water and couldn’t get up.
“Help! Help! Can someone save my son?! My son is drowning!”
Mo Guanshan stuck his head out of the water and took a few deep breaths before shouting again.
Unfortunately, the place was extremely noisy. Many of those people stayed after handing in the marbles.
What a joke. It wasn’t easy for them to come here. Many people came here after paying money. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to enter Wang Mingcong’s territory. How many minor internet celebrities paid to come here to take photos and raise their status? Even if Wang Mingcong had already left the venue, they still took photos and videos, afraid that they would miss something.
No one could hear Mo Guanshan’s cries for help.
“That old bastard Qin Gongming deserves to die, and so does Wang Mingcong!”
Mo Guanshan took out a cigarette from his chest and took a deep puff..
