#2 - Chapter 2 Follow Daddy's path and leave him with nowhere to go - Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

On the building's rooftop.

More than a dozen cigarette butts were scattered in front of him.

Chen Fuhai sat on the ground, looking haggard, his beard unkempt and his appearance disheveled.

"Wife... Xiaohao..."

"I'm sorry to you all! Maybe if I die, you can live on."

His thought was simple.

Death ends debt.

At least, the creditors wouldn't harass his wife and son.

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stood up.

咚咚咚… …

Suddenly!

Just as he was about to walk towards the edge of the rooftop.

A figure rushed out.

"Xiaohao?!"

Chen Fuhai was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you... aren't you supposed to be taking the college entrance exam?!"

"Chen Fuhai!"

Chen Hao didn't hesitate, striding quickly to the edge of the rooftop, and roared angrily, "Is our family out of money? Are we up to our necks in debt?"

What?!

Chen Fuhai was terrified.

He didn't even notice that his son was calling him by his full name, "How do you know... No! Xiaohao, don't do anything stupid, come down first!"

"I can't live a hard life. If our family is out of money, I'll go die right away!"

"Life without money is worse than death!"

"College entrance exam? With my grades, what's the point of taking it?!"

"I was counting on you to make money so I could live a good life, but look at you..."

"I'm telling you! If you don't make money to support me, I'll jump down right now!"

Hearing his son's roar, Chen Fuhai was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't he the one who was supposed to jump?

Even though his son said some outrageous things, no matter how unfilial he was, he was still his only bloodline.

His son must not have an accident!

These days.

Most people care a lot about carrying on the family line.

Chen Fuhai was no exception.

"Son! Come down, quickly..."

Chen Fuhai broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to get too close and provoke Chen Hao, he could only shout tremblingly from a distance, "I promise you! I will definitely work hard to make money and let you live a good life!"

"You're not lying to me?" Chen Hao seemed not to believe him.

"I'm not lying to you, really!"

"But I heard that you were swindled out of all your money and are up to your neck in debt!"

"Xiaohao, listen to me!"

Chen Fuhai was going crazy, "Back then, didn't I start with nothing? Didn't I still earn millions?"

"Now Dad has been swindled out of his money, but Dad's skills are still here!"

"I can definitely make a comeback!"

Chen Hao stared at him intently.

After a long while, he said with some suspicion, "If you dare to shirk responsibility and don't let me live a good life, even if I don't jump today, I'll jump later!"

Actually.

He was almost unable to hold back his laughter.

Son forcing his father to make money to support him by threatening to jump?

How absurd!

"Okay! I promise you... Can you please come down? Dad begs you!" Chen Fuhai's hands were trembling.

"I'll trust you one last time!"

Chen Hao finally came down.

Chen Fuhai quickly rushed up and hugged him tightly.

As if.

His son would leave him at any moment.

At this moment, the corners of Chen Hao's mouth slightly turned up, revealing a strange smile.

Walk Dad's path.

Leave Dad with no path to walk.

Want to jump?

I'll jump faster, more fiercely, and more resolutely!

It was certain that after knowing that his son couldn't bear hardship and would commit suicide if he couldn't live a good life, Chen Fuhai would never dare to take his own life again.

"Dad, who exactly swindled you?" He couldn't help but ask.

In his previous life.

He only learned about the company's decline and the fraud after his father died.

He didn't know the specific details.

"A foreigner, a North American..." Chen Fuhai sighed as he recounted.

North America?

North America again!

Chen Hao clenched his fists secretly.

… …

Downstairs.

Ren Xue hadn't left.

Life was at stake!

She heard Chen Hao say that his father was going to jump.

Thinking that if Chen Hao couldn't stop him, she would use her silver tongue to help persuade him from below.

As a result...

What did she see?

It was Chen Hao standing on the edge of the rooftop!

He was the one who was going to jump?!

Not having time to think, she rushed into the building.

As a lawyer, her sense of justice wouldn't allow her to watch a young man die like that.

Before she could run to the top floor, she saw the father and son walking down.

"You..." Ren Xue was at a loss.

"Dad."

Chen Hao patted his dad's shoulder: "Remember what you promised me! Anyway, rather than living a hard life, I'd rather die—go make money!"

"Okay!"

Thinking of his son almost jumping off the building, Chen Fuhai was so scared that he nodded repeatedly, "Xiaohao! Dad will definitely work hard to make money, but you also have to promise Dad... in the future, never do anything stupid!"

After speaking.

He hurriedly left the scene, thinking about how to make money.

His son's college entrance exam was definitely ruined this year.

Didn't repeating a year cost money?

The key was, not only was the company's business declining sharply, but he was also up to his neck in debt.

Money was needed everywhere!

… …

"Do you have no shame?!"

"You're threatening to jump off the building if your father doesn't make money?"

"You're not even taking the college entrance exam? You've wasted your dad's good intentions!"

"I was blind to help someone like you..."

Seeing Chen Fuhai leave, Ren Xue immediately rushed up and berated Chen Hao.

This kind of rebellious son was better off dead!

Chen Hao just smiled.

He was very happy.

His dad was alive, which was more important than anything.

"Still have the face to smile?!"

Ren Xue was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to leave.

"Sister, thank you!"

Chen Hao bowed deeply to her: "Thank you for saving my dad."

What?

Ren Xue paused.

Looking at him in surprise.

How did it become saving his dad again?

Immediately.

Chen Hao told her the whole story: "There's no way, I had to strike first, only this way can I completely eliminate his thoughts of suicide."

Prevention is not as good as cure.

Once someone only thinks about suicide, it can't be prevented.

Unless...

You make him afraid to commit suicide!

After listening to the explanation, Ren Xue was stunned for a long time.

So she had misunderstood?

At his age, he actually thought of this method... Not simple!

Even if she encountered this kind of thing, she would definitely try to persuade him in various ways, how could she come up with such an alternative approach?

"That's right!"

She seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "You just said that your dad was swindled by a foreigner? Are there any clues? Maybe I can help!"

Millions!

In this era, it was definitely a large sum.

"You?" Chen Hao was puzzled.

"I'm a lawyer, I know the relevant departments..."

"Lawyer?!"

Chen Hao's eyes widened.

What a coincidence?

He needed a lawyer right now!

But not to help his dad recover the swindled money.

Let's just say.

With the current level of criminal investigation, and the fraud happened half a month ago, the swindler had already run away without a trace, it was impossible to recover the money.

"What? Don't believe me?"

Ren Xue immediately took out a business card from her bag and handed it over.

Ren Xue.

Fad Law Firm... Assistant Lawyer?

The lowest level?

No!

Seeing the name on the business card, Chen Hao remembered his memories from his previous life.

Fifteen years later.

Ren Xue will become one of the top lawyers in China, famous far and wide.

The current her, limited by age, qualifications, and experience, doesn't mean that there will be no achievements in the future.

Keeping such talent in the law firm, wouldn't that be wasting a jewel?

"Sister Xue, wait for my call." Chen Hao put away the business card.
