12 years ago.
Li Shaoze just turned 18. Legally, he was free to do whatever he wanted. He could do things adults could. But the thing he desperately wanted to achieve was just to get out from the Li manor.
It was the moment he had waited for patiently in his life. Even if Li Junfeng's presence could help him render his depression, Li Shaoze still felt he should get out from the toxic environment in the manor before he became someone he himself couldn't recognize.
So, Li Shaoze made the drastic choice to leave his home. Li Junfeng knew he was planning to leave but was unable to persuade him to stay. When Li Shaoze finally took the taxi and traveled to another city, he felt liberated.
He found himself a small apartment studio and lived frugally with the money he had saved up. He worked part-time as a freelancer and taught himself the way of stocks. Everyday, he went to the public library to look into stocks and market-related books to further hone himself.
