The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Hua Zi didn't wake up until the next day, and instinctively called out to Lu Lu.

"Lu Lu, Lu Lu, I'm thirsty!"

Hua Zi lay in bed feeling extremely uncomfortable; the hangover was giving him a headache.

"Stop calling, Lu Lu isn't here."

Wang Gang's voice reached Hua Zi's ears, startling him so much that he jumped up.

"What are you doing in my house?" Hua Zi asked in surprise, clutching the blanket.

“You were drunk yesterday, and no one was home, so I had to stay to prevent anything from happening to you.” Wang Gang handed Hua Zi a glass of water.

Hua Zi didn't pay any attention and took a big gulp of water after taking the water.

"Where is Lu Lu? Isn't she home?"

Wang Gang curled his lip in disdain, then took out the letter Lu Lu had left for Hua Zi.

Hua Zi took the letter with a puzzled look, and his face turned pale the next moment.

"Lu Lu is gone!?"

Hua Zi jumped up, found his phone, and called Lu Lu.

Unfortunately, Lu Lu's phone was switched off, and Hua Zi couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried.

Hua Zi was unwilling to give up and searched the house, only to find that all of Lu Lu's personal belongings were missing. There were no clothes in the wardrobe, and even her toiletries had disappeared.

Not only Lu Lu, but even Lu Lu's younger brother, who lived in the small room, had his belongings disappear.

"It's impossible. Lu Lu said she would get through this with me." Hua Zi refused to accept reality and kept calling Lu Lu and her brother.

Wang Gang couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "A girl like Lu Lu can share wealth but not hardship. You shouldn't look for her anymore."

"No, Lu Lu loves me and won't abandon me," Hua Zi shouted angrily.

Wang Gang sighed and asked, "Do you still have your money?"

Hua Zi froze, then rushed frantically into the main room, opened the wardrobe, and began rummaging through the corner.

Where are my passbook and bank cards?

Hua Zi searched the wardrobe for a long time but couldn't find what he was looking for.

"You put your bankbook in the closet?" Wang Gang asked, leaning against the wall.

"All my belongings, the money I had left after mortgaging my house, were all in here, how could they be gone!"

Wang Gang asked, "Does Lu Lu know your bank card password?"

Hua Zi plopped down on the ground, his face ashen and extremely ugly.

"It's all gone, all gone!" Hua Zi murmured in despair.

It's clear now that Lu Lu has absconded with the money. All the vows she and Hua Zi made were fake; the money was the only thing that mattered!
Hua Zi is now practically penniless.

"What should I do!" Hua Zi cried out, grabbing his hair. "Lu Lu took all my money! What am I going to do?!"

Wang Gang patted Hua Zi on the shoulder and said, "Hua Zi, don't worry, I'll pay you back the money you paid for selling my shares."

Hua Zi said urgently, "How can that be? You've already sold your shares, so if something happens to the car dealership, it has nothing to do with you."

Wang Gang sighed and said, "Manager Hu's matter was something you and I decided to do together, so I also bear some responsibility. I'll pay half of the money back."

However, selling counterfeit goods from a truck won't get you anywhere. Not only will you face fines, but you'll also face prosecution. If you don't find the idiot and get a clear explanation, you could go to jail.

Hua Zi said gratefully, "Qiang Zi, thank you. I only realized who was human and who was treacherous after this happened!"

Wang Gang comforted him, "Alright! Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems, so don't worry."

Hua Zi nodded, but still somewhat unwillingly said, "I never expected Lu Lu to run off with all my money. When we got together, she said she only loved me for who I am, not for my money."

Wang Gang scoffed, "I told you before, Lu Lu is very opportunistic. She's fine when you're rich, but once you're down on your luck, she'll run away faster than anyone else." Hua Zi regretted his past actions, saying, "If I had listened to you before, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Wang Gang said, "You should take your ID card and go to the bank right now to check how much money is left in your account."

"Yes." Hua Zi stood up excitedly, not even bothering to brush his teeth or wash his face, and ran to the bank with his ID card.

Wang Gang was worried that something might happen to him, so he followed him. As a result, Lu Lu had already withdrawn all the money from Hua Zi's bank account, leaving Hua Zi with not a single penny.

Hua Zi was unwilling to give up, so he contacted Lu Lu's friend again, hoping to get the money back.

But if Lu Lu intended to abscond with the money, how could she possibly contact people she knew before?

Later, Xiang Nan asked his father to investigate Lu Lu's travel records and found that she and her brother had bought plane tickets to leave the capital long ago and were now in Yunnan. Xiang Nan's father could not find them.

However, there is good news: the pig's head has been found.

To be precise, it wasn't that they found it, but rather that Pighead came back.

The day before Hua Zi was to be prosecuted, Zhu Tou turned himself in and confessed everything to the police.

The smuggled truck was obtained by Pighead. Hua Zi only participated in the buying and selling, not in smuggling, so his crime was much lighter and he only needed to pay a fine.

Pighead is in trouble; he will face one to three years in prison.

However, Pighead was still loyal enough to clear Hua Zi of all charges and let the blame fall entirely on himself.

In the end, Hua Zi still asked Yao Yao to help Zhu Tou with the lawsuit and try to plead with the judge for leniency.

Later, Hua Zi went to the detention center and met Zhu Tou.

Two close friends met again, but neither spoke for a long time.

In the end, Hua Zi spoke first.

Are you adjusting well inside?

"It's alright, it's not the first time anyway, I'm used to it," Pighead said nonchalantly.
"Hua Zi, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Hua Zi thought for a moment, then asked, "Since you've already run away, why did you come back? Did you know that coming back would mean going to jail?"

Pighead said guiltily, "Hua Zi, I'm not human. I was bewitched. It's all my fault. That's why your car dealership couldn't stay in business!"

Hua Zi frowned and said, "You didn't answer my question."

Pighead said with red eyes, "I did run away before, but I couldn't sleep a wink for a single day. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the image of you trapped in prison."

Hua Zi, I know you've always considered me a friend, and I can't hurt you.

Hua Zi sighed and said, "Reform yourself properly! When you get out, we'll continue doing business together. This time, we won't do anything illegal!"

"Ah!" Pighead said, moved, "You're willing to forgive me."

Hua Zi said, "This incident has made me realize a lot of things and seen through many people. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, I will still consider you a friend."

Pighead couldn't hold back any longer and said emotionally, "Thank you, thank you, Hua Zi. The best thing I've ever done in my life is to make you my friend."

Hua Zi said, "The lawyer said that the amount involved in your case is not large, the sentence will not be too heavy, and you will be out soon."

The two chatted for a while longer. When their time was up, Hua Zi walked out of the detention center and called Wang Gang.

"Qiangzi, can you lend me some money? With interest, I'm planning to start over!"

“No problem! I’ll calculate the interest rate for you at the lowest bank rate,” Wang Gang said readily.

Hua Zi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qiangzi, if even a pig like me can come back and turn myself in, does that mean Lu Lu will come back too?"

Wang Gang sneered, "You haven't given up on Lu Lu yet!"

Hua Zi sighed, "I still can't believe Lu Lu is that kind of person." (End of Chapter)
