Just as Lu Liang was on the way back home, the crowd in front of the Yangcheng Hengtai Center suddenly dispersed.
They weren't driven away, nor were they rounded up by law enforcement, but they willingly left, unanimously deciding to return after the New Year for an explanation.
Outwardly, people said heaven and earth may be big, but going home for the New Year is the biggest thing. However, soon some rumors and photos began circulating online.
There were rumors that on the 42nd floor of the Hengtai Center, there was a single shoe near the edge of the open balcony railing. It was said to belong to Xu Jiayin, who had supposedly attempted to end his life but was talked down.
So when the suppliers and property owners downstairs got wind of this, they opted to leave.
They feared Boss Xu might not withstand the pressure and act rashly.
In the East Country, the tradition has always been that a dead person's affairs take precedence, and debts are wiped away with death.
