Permanent Martial Arts

Mr. and Mrs. Yu’s expressions were a little unnatural. Sensing that something was up, Yu Shan frowned and asked, “Dad, Mom, is there a problem?”

“Yu Shan, your legs are already crippled. Why are you still going out to start a company? Isn’t that very tiring? Why don’t you recuperate at home? The money you earned in the past is enough for our family to live a rich life. You want to marry that girl, right? We’ll agree to

it.”

Father Yu said “sincerely”, but Yu Shan was not stupid. He vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with his parents’ expressions.

“Dad, Mom, how much money do you have left from the funds I asked you to manage?”

“Not… not much. Just a few million…”

Mr. and Mrs. Yu stammered while Yu Shan’s expression changed drastically.

“How is that possible? I’ve given you a large sum of money almost annually all these years. Even by a rough estimate, I’ve given you more than 10 billion yuan! How can there only be a few million left? Dad, Mom, where did all this money go?”

Yu Shan was very angry. All these years, he had selflessly helped his family. He would give his parents whatever they wanted. The affluent life of his family was all provided for by him.

He had put his life on the line at the frontline, without regrets.

However, being without regrets did not mean that he was foolish. It did not mean that he could be indifferent about the money. One had to know that the money included a large sum that was compensation for his decisive battle at the frontline. This was money he earned with his life!

Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu stammered, not knowing what to do. Finally, Mr. Yu said cautiously, “Shanzi, the money you sent us is indeed a lot, but we don’t know how to manage money and speculated in stocks, so we lost it all…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shan smiled coldly, “Dad, Mom, can you believe your own tale? Whether there’s a deficit would be uncovered once it’s investigated. Dad, Mom, what exactly is going on?”

Yu Shan was even somewhat disappointed. What did his parents do behind his back? A sum of ten billion yuan was enough for an ordinary person to live affluently for ten lifetimes.

All he wanted to do was start a company. The initial investment would require only about one billion. No matter how his parents squandered the money, this small amount of money should definitely be available. Moreover, he knew his parents well. They weren’t the kind of people who would spend recklessly.

At this moment, the second brother, Yu Shui, who had a sinister look in his eyes, stood up. He said indolently, “Dad, Mom, stop lying. You can’t fool big brother. After all, big brother worked hard to earn this money. Even if it’s gone, you have to tell him the truth.” Yu Shan suddenly had a bad feeling. This was his second brother, the younger brother who was both familiar and a stranger to him. Back when he left home to go to the frontline, his younger brother was still in high school. He was just a little brat who caused trouble all the time.

And now, his second brother had grown up. Yu Shan felt like he was a stranger.

“Second brother, what’s going on?”

Yu Shui smiled and said, “My dear brother, can’t you tell? All that money is mine, including this villa and all the cars in our family. Also, the top-notch sanatorium you’re living in-I’m paying for all of it!

“Your money? What do you mean?”

“You still don’t get it? Dad and Mom have no money anymore. All the money you sent home over the years—was it 10 billion or 20 billion? I’m not sure myself, but I’ve transferred every sum under my own name. In other words, all the money in the family is mine now, and has nothing to do with big brother at all.” “This is impossible. Dad, Mom, this is impossible!”

Yu Shan’s face was ashen, and his eyes were bloodshot. He glared at his parents, wanting to hear their refutation.

How did the money he worked with his life to give his parents become his second brother’s money?

Mr. Yu heaved a long sigh and said, “Shanzi, the two of us are useless. It’s all because of our bastard second son. He used every means he could to get us to transfer the money to him for investment, but he cheated us of all the money. You were not at home, so there was nothing we could do.” Yu Shan gritted his teeth and said, “Nothing you could do? Dad, Mom, you could have contacted me back then. I could have returned at any time from the Outland. Why didn’t you contact me? Did you just allow second brother to swindle all the money?”

Mr. Yu said in a panic, “Shanzi, I didn’t dare to tell you at that time. You’re a martial artist and you were at the frontline. If you come back and kill your brother, that’d be a great disaster. Familial harmony brings prosperity to everything. I just wanted to let things be for the meantime. By the time you return, we would also have scrimped and saved some money so that you can live without problems.” “Heh, a few millions from scrimping and saving? That’s my money, the money I risked my life to earn! Second brother, no matter what methods you used to cheat Dad and Mom of the money, I sent this money to Dad and Mom. There’s always a trace. You have to return whatever you took! Otherwise, once I apply in court, it’ll be useless even if you return it.”

Yu Shan’s heart was bleeding. He was very disappointed, in his parents, his second brother, and this whole family. His parents might weak and ignorant, but in reality, they were also biased towards his second brother.

Otherwise, how could second brother cheat his parents of the money time and time again?

Yu Shan was bitterly disappointed. He had risked his life at the frontline just to provide his family with good living conditions, but he never expected his parents and brother to be plotting against him. These were the people closest to him!

However, the second brother, Yu Shui, seemed totally unconcerned. He curled his lips and said, “Big brother, do you think I’d leave a trace when doing these things? The money has long been transferred to my secret account. After countless transactions, it has long been laundered. No matter how you investigate, this money would be earned by me through legitimate means.

“Actually, big brother, I really respect you. It’d be wonderful if you could have stayed at the frontline all the time. You could keep earning money, non-stop, and I could also do my best to be filial to Dad and Mom. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”.

“Second brother, you really disgust me! Did I let you down? I’m not your cash cow!”

Yu Shan gritted his teeth. If his legs were not crippled, he would even want to punch his second brother to death. This was no longer his family.

“Big brother, this may be the last time I’m calling you big brother. Actually, it’s quite a good thing that you’re crippled. The money you earned is enough for me to splurge my entire life. If you were still a martial artist, it would probably be somewhat difficult for me to pocket the money for myself. But now, you’re just a cripple. What’s there for me to be afraid of? Brutes are just brutes. Since we were young, you were smarter than me, stronger than me, and even became a martial artist. But so what? Everything still ended up mine.”

“On account of your pitiful state, I’ll give you five million yuan. Leave this place and don’t even think about getting back all your money. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”

Yu Shui’s sinister gaze was deeply unsettling, and the living room fell into a terrible silence.

After a long while, when Chang Xi and the youngest sister returned to the living room, it was to see both parties at each other’s throats. “Chang Xi, let’s go!” Yu Shan did not argue. His expression even instantly recovered its calm. However, behind that calmness, there appeared to be a brewing storm that made one’s heart tremble.

Although Chang Xi did not know what had happened, she did not ask at a time like this. Instead, she pushed Yu Shan out of the villa.

Mr. Yu heaved a long sigh. “We’ve let Shanzi down! Second son, you’ve already gotten what you wanted. Don’t make things difficult for your brother.” “Dad, don’t worry. Big brother will give in after a few failed attempts. I won’t do anything to him. On the contrary, I’ll give him money so that he can live out the rest of his life in a decent manner. After all, he’s already a cripple…”

The second son opened a bottle of red wine, swirled the glass in his hand, and took a sip. His expression was very relaxed.
