Chapter 99 Depressed

Yu Shan left without a word. Chang Xi did not ask anything

The two of them returned to the sanatorium. Yu Shan suddenly said, “Xiaoxi, why didn’t you ask me what happened?”

Chang Xi smiled and said, “If you want to tell me, you’ll tell me.”

Yu Shan fell silent, but his fists tightened. He briefly explained what had happened. A hint of anger appeared in Chang Xi’s eyes, but she quickly recovered her composure. “Yu Shan, even though this matter is very unfair to you, you still have me. Since your younger brother has done this, he must be prepared. It’ll be fine as long as we don’t interact with your brother in the future.”

Chang Xi did not seem to care about Yu Shan’s enormous wealth at all. In her eyes, Yu Shan was the most important.

Yu Shan took Chang Xi’s hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Don’t worry, second brother doesn’t have the capability to hide the truth from everyone. I’ll investigate and lodge a complaint. What belongs to me will definitely be mine. Besides, I can’t let you suffer with me.”

Yu Shan clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t accept this. He had fought so hard for so many years, but in the end, he was schemed against by the person closest to him. It was all for nothing. How could Yu Shan possibly accept this?

The next day, Yu Shan began to investigate the bank. He even hired a private detective to assist in the investigation. However, in the end, he discovered that it was just as his second brother had said. Yu Shui “deceived” his parents into making various “investments” in various ways. Then, the money went down the drain and was transferred to Yu Shui in a complicated manner.

Even if Yu Shan proved that he was the one who sent the money to his parents, it was useless. Yu Shan’s parents had the right to manage the money. It did not mean anything if they used it in the investment and lost everything with no returns.

Yu Shui’s power lay in his ability to convince his parents to willingly mobilize the money to make a “legitimate investment”, but they actually fell into Yu Shui’s trap.

In a fit of anger, Yu Shan even sued Yu Shui. However, at the stage of evidence in court, Yu Shan could not produce any strong evidence, so Yu Shan naturally lost the case.

“Yu Shan, I’ve already told you. No matter what you do, it’s useless.”

Yu Shui stared coldly at Yu Shan, his expression filled with derision. In fact, he was very carefree inside. Since they were young, Yu Shan had practically lived in the shadow of his eldest brother, Yu Shan. Yu Shan was older than him, smart, and very filial. He led the family and provided for his family early on.

Without the help of his family, Yu Shan became a martial artist by himself. He even made a name for himself in the Outland, causing the entire Yu family to break free from poverty and enter the upper class.

However, Yu Shui did not engage in honest work and was looked down upon by his parents. Hence, Yu Shui was very jealous. Gradually, his jealousy even turned into hatred. Hence, he began to plan to take all the money in the family, the wealth his eldest brother Yu Shan had risked his life to earn, for himself.

Although his parents did not think highly of Yu Shui, he had one advantage, and that was that he stayed by his parents’ side all year round. On the other hand, in order to provide a better life for his family, Yu Shan might not return home once in a few years.

This gave Yu Shui a chance. He put up a show in front of his parents, and even tempted his parents to invest step by step. As a result, all the money ended up in his hands.

Sometimes, Yu Shui was also very afraid that his eldest brother would suddenly return. He had been very afraid of his eldest brother since he was young, especially since Yu Shan was a powerful martial artist. If Yu Shan came back and learned what he had done, even if Yu Shui had planned everything, what was the use? Yu Shan was free to use his influence and connections to make Yu Shui spit out the money obediently.

Fortunately, Yu Shan was severely injured at the frontline. Although he wasn’t dead, he was crippled. Yu Shan was no longer that omnipotent martial artist with despairing strength.

The so-called connections were no longer useful after Yu Shan was crippled. As long as Yu Shui bribed them with a large sum of money, even the Professional Martial Arts Association would not stand up for Yu Shan.

After all, this matter was still a “family matter” of the Yu family. Outsiders could not justifiably interfere.

After a few days, Yu Shan was exhausted and disheartened. When he went to ask for help, he could feel the disdain in their eyes. Perhaps there was a trace of pity as well, but what was the use?

He was no longer a powerful martial artist. He was just a cripple who had lost both his legs.

“I’m such a failure. A complete failure…”

Yu Shan was disheartened. He became depressed day by day. The regret, pain, and resentment in his heart tormented Yu Shan every night.

Even with Chang Xi’s company, even if Chang Xi wanted to be with Yu Shan at all costs, and even after her family forbade her from going back, she still chose to take care of Yu Shan. Seeing Yu Shan becoming increasingly depressed, Chang Xi’s heart ached. She didn’t care about money or wealth, but she cared about Yu Shan. She couldn’t see Yu Shan continue to be depressed like this.

“Yu Shan, we will definitely replace a way. There’s definitely a way. You have to pull yourself together.” Chang Xi’s eyes were filled with tears, but Yu Shan did not even raise his head. What hope was there left? All his previous pride, his previous self-esteem, and his previous spirits were shattered in just a few days.

This was the real world, a world that invoked despair. Yu Shan had never felt such despair, even from those incomparably savage dire beasts he had once faced.

“Don’t give up. There must be hope, we’ll replace someone can help…”

Chang Xi’s heart ached deeply. She could not let Yu Shan keep being so depressed like this. She feared that she would wake up one day and never see Yu Shan again.

Yu Shan was drunk today. Chang Xi helped him to the bed to rest. Suddenly, Chang Xi saw the communicator beside Yu Shan’s pillow.

During this period of time, Yu Shan contacted many people, but none of them lent a helping hand.

For some reason, Chang Xi suddenly recalled the “stories” that Yu Shan had told her some time ago. He and his comrades had gone through thick and thin when facing off the dire beasts.

Furthermore, wasn’t the young martial artist known as the hero of Dragonlith City Yu Shan’s lifelong friend? They had fought alongside each other, and gone through life-or-death situations together.

“You’re a great hero. If you can step forward and save the three million people in Dragonlith City, you definitely won’t stand by and do nothing, right?”

As if possessed, Chang Xi immediately picked up Yu Shan’s communicator and searched carefully.

Finally, she found a name in the communicator – Lin Feng.

Lin Feng—this name was all too familiar. As the war in Dragonlith City came to an end, as the genius martial artist who saved three million people in Dragonlith City and broke the genetic lock, Lin Feng’s name and even his background were naturally uncovered.

Even Chang Xi, who hadn’t been paying much attention to the matter, knew Lin Feng’s name.

Chang Xi hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Yu Shan’s haggard face in his sleep, she gritted her teeth suddenly, and dialed the communicator.
