36: Chapter 36 Regret! I should have never sold it, even if you killed me!

Speaking of this, Li Hao's voice was laced with a sob.

"Dad, Mom..."

"I regret it now too..."

"I really regret it!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have sold it even if it killed me!"

A twenty-one-year-old young man had suddenly turned into someone in his forties.

This kind of disparity was enough to make anyone break down.

In these past few hours, he didn't know how many times he had already cried.

Zhao Shoucheng watched this scene, his mood equally complicated.

He spoke up to mediate, "You two, this matter of selling lifespan, while it sounds absurd, is a fact."

"The reason your son has become like this now..."

"...is because he sold his lifespan."

"As of now, there is no other explanation."

As his voice fell, Wang Huifen fell completely silent.

She just stared blankly at Li Hao.

The more she looked,

the more unfamiliar he seemed.

Although she used to dislike that her son was unmotivated and lazy,

and disliked that he just muddled through life without any ambition,

no matter what, he was still the son she had raised since he was little.

But now, he had suddenly aged over twenty years.

She suddenly felt...

that the energetic young man from before was actually quite pleasing to the eye.

On the other side,

Li Dahai suddenly caught a key piece of information.

"Wait, Officer."

"You just said... how much did he sell?"

Zhao Shoucheng looked at him, "Twenty-one years."

"No."

Li Dahai waved his hand, "I mean the latter part, how much money did he sell it for?"

Zhao Shoucheng paused for a moment, having a bad premonition.

"...Twenty-one years, sold for a total of 630,000."

When these words fell, the air gradually fell into silence.

Wang Huifen was stunned.

Li Hao was also stunned.

Zhao Shoucheng's eyelids twitched slightly.

As expected.

The next second.

Li Dahai's throat bobbed, and he looked at Li Hao.

"Six hundred... thirty thousand?"

"They really paid it?"

Li Hao nodded, "They... they paid."

Upon hearing this, Li Dahai's breathing instantly became a bit heavier.

630,000!

Their family's total debt added up to... only about 700,000.

This sum of money... could help relieve a lot of pressure on the family!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Li Hao again.

"Where is the money?"

Li Hao's body stiffened, and he opened his mouth.

In the end, he still took the bank card out of his pocket and handed it over.

"It's all here."

"I haven't touched it."

Li Dahai took the bank card, his hand even trembling a little.

"Is there... really over 600,000 in here?"

Li Hao nodded, not speaking.

Seeing this, Li Dahai's hand trembled uncontrollably.

After all, that was over 600,000!

He had never seen so much money in his entire life!

Although the debts he owed...

And Wang Huifen, seeing this,

for a moment, actually didn't know whether to be happy or upset.

Happy that the money owed for the house purchase could seemingly be mostly paid off?

Upset that her son had lost twenty-one years of lifespan...

Li Hao saw that his parents' attention was entirely on the money.

His heart couldn't help but gradually sink to the bottom.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.

Zhao Shoucheng saw this scene and fell somewhat silent.

Are these... his own father and mother?

Is your focus... a bit off?

After a good while, Li Dahai finally looked up.

"Where is that app?"

"Let me see it."

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

He then took out his phone, opened lifespan treasure, and handed it over.

Li Dahai impatiently took the phone and checked it carefully.

Very quickly, a page appeared before his eyes.

[Remaining Lifespan: 18 years]

Seeing the remaining lifespan, Wang Huifen beside him immediately frowned, "Does this mean... our son only has 18 years left to live?"

Li Dahai: "Yeah, he still has 18 years..."

He looked at the number on the phone.

And then looked at Li Hao sitting opposite him.

The expression on his face was indescribably complex.

Wang Huifen was the same.

The couple looked at each other, their lips moving.

They seemed to want to say something, but in the end, they didn't say it out loud.

They just sighed at the same time.

"Tsk, sigh."

The sound wasn't loud, but it made Li Hao's heart inexplicably sink.

He always felt that his parents seemed to have something to say.

But exactly what, he couldn't put his finger on it.

Were they worried about him having a short life?

Or did they think the lifespan was too little?

Was it worry, or were they disgusted that he had turned into this ghostly appearance?

The visitation room went quiet, and no one spoke again.

At this moment, Police Officer Xiao Jiang walked in and looked at Li Dahai.

"The paperwork is already done."

"You can take him back now."

Zhao Shoucheng looked at Li Hao and instructed,

"You can leave now."

"Remember to keep your phone on; we will contact you later."

Upon hearing this, Li Dahai casually stuffed the bank card into his pocket, stood up, looked at Li Hao, and said, "Let's go, we'll talk when we get home."

His attitude couldn't be called cold, but it definitely couldn't be called warm either.

Li Hao lowered his head and followed silently behind.

Wang Huifen opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but seeing her son's weathered face, she swallowed the words back.
