Gone.
Everything was gone.
Every room had been emptied to the last particle of dust.
Shen Jingwei pinched his cheeks repeatedly but he did not wake up.
It's true.
He had been robbed.
Shen Jingwei slumped to the ground and stared off into the distance.
He must have been sitting there for about fifteen minutes before the front door swung open again, revealing the landlord, Mr. Chen.
"Mr. Chen!" Shen Jingwei cried out. "I didn't know what happened here! I just came back and...!"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen whipped up a bright smile in Shen Jingwei's direction.
"Aiyah, youngsters these days, always full of hope and bright future!" He slapped Shen Jingwei's back repeatedly in a fatherly manner. "I am sorry that I said you had no chance of making it in the showbiz. I wish you the best of luck! And also, my son happens to be a talented singer... Do you think you can hook him up somewhere?"
