Episode 2

Three slaps, one louder than the other. When the last slap landed, Wang Gang fell straight down to the ground. Stupefied! Completely stupefied! Where did this lunatic come from? Wang Gang quickly came to his senses, veins popping on his neck. "Even if I'm not a filial son, it's my family's matter. When does it become your business, you bastard?" "Doesn't it concern me?" The icy glare of Lu Yun stared right through him. "Look at me carefully with your dog's eyes and see who I am!" "You..." A cold shout made Wang Gang suddenly dumbfounded and fixated on Lu Yun's face, scrutinizing it intently. Suddenly, his body violently shuddered. The young man in front of him gradually overlapped with the thin and weak kid from fifteen years ago. How similar they were! "Impossible..." Wang Gang shook his head fiercely. The name was already on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say it. This was too absurd. "Are you surprised?" Lu Yun sneered and said, "When we were kids, you used to bully me by peeing in my shoes and deliberately staining my clothes with watercolor pens. You also blamed me for your mistakes, causing me to be punished by Grandpa Wu to stand for a long time. Do you not remember any of these things?" Thump! Wang Gang took a step back. It was him. It was really him! Lu Yun, who was often bullied by him, had come back! "Why didn't that big fire burn you to death? Why did you suddenly come back? Why did you come and disturb my life?"

Wang Gang's emotions suddenly became unusually excited.

"I worked so hard to please those women, but they refused to recognize me as their brother because they said only you are their brother."

"I tried my best to impress the dean and get him to adopt me, but that old man kept mentioning your name."

"I tried so hard to be like you, but why won't they give me a chance? What's wrong with me compared to you?"

Wang Gang's expression became more and more ferocious: "Do you know how much I want you dead!"

He completely lost his sanity, suddenly turned around and pulled out a steel pipe, screaming and smashing it towards Lu Yun.

However...

The only response he received was a foot, a phantom-like foot so fast it was like a hurricane.

Boom!

Before the steel pipe even hit, a clear shoe print suddenly appeared on Wang Gang's abdomen, and he flew back five meters.

"Do you want to know where you lack compared to me?"

Lu Yun walked slowly towards Wang Gang, looking down at him indifferently, and spoke softly, "It's because I don't bully the weak, because I don't forget gratitude, because I don't envy others and create enemies. Is that enough?"

Is that enough?

Lu Yun's voice was light.

But it was like a heavy hammer, fiercely hitting Wang Gang's soul.

These are the most basic rules of being a human being. Does Wang Gang have them?

No.

He is just a scumbag who bullies the weak, forgets gratitude, and is jealous.

"Poof!"

Perhaps due to the intense stimulation, Wang Gang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of pain.

Luyun gazed at the person with cold indifference, lacking any hint of pity in his eyes. This individual had been consumed by jealousy to a twisted point, rendering him undeserving of any sympathy.

"Child... are you... are you really Luyun?"

Suddenly, Wu Wende's voice trembled from behind.

Luyun turned around, the chill on his face dissipating to reveal a sunny smile. "Yes, Grandfather Wu, it's me. I'm back."

"It's really you!"

Wu Wende's heart spasmed, and finally, he couldn't help but hold Luyun in a deep embrace while sobbing loudly.

"My little Luyun, you're alive... you're alive... God has finally stopped torturing me... I thought, I thought I was the reason you died..."

Wu Wende wept loudly, but it wasn't the cry of sorrow, but rather one of relief. That child who had made him feel guilty for fifteen years was still alive.

"Yes, Grandfather Wu, I'm alive and doing well."

Luyun comforted him in a soft voice, sensing something from Wu Wende's fragmented words.

After Wu Wende's emotions stabilized a little, Luyun asked, "Grandfather Wu, are you hiding something from me about the big fire fifteen years ago? Was it not an accident?"

Wu Wende wiped his tears. "Let's just leave the past in the past, as long as you're alive, it's all okay..."

Luyun's suspicions were strengthened even more, and he earnestly said, "Grandfather Wu, if you really feel guilty towards me, please tell me everything, okay?"

Wu Wende tried to avoid the topic, but seeing the seriousness in Lu Yun's expression, he knew he couldn't hide it any longer and had to slowly explain.

It turned out there was indeed something suspicious about the big fire fifteen years ago.

At that time, Superior Real Estate had their eye on the land of the Sunshine Welfare Institute and had repeatedly approached Wu Wende to force him to sign a contract for a low-priced acquisition.

However, Wu Wende was tough and refused to sign no matter what tactics they used.

Helpless, the person in charge of Superior Real Estate threatened that if he didn't sign the contract, he would bear the consequences.

As a result, the next day, there was a fire in the Welfare Institute.

Wu Wende suspected that the fire was revenge from Superior Real Estate, but they couldn't find evidence of them committing arson.

After the fire, Lu Yun disappeared.

Wu Wende thought he had caused Lu Yun's death so he quickly resigned and adopted a child who was about the same age as Lu Yun, that child was Wang Gang.

Wu Wende compensated for his guilt towards Lu Yun onto Wang Gang, but his excessive pampering made Wang Gang lazy and he constantly asked for money.

Wu Wende didn't say anything when the amounts were small before, but this time, he asked for two hundred thousand.

Wu Wende was of course unable to give him that amount, which led to the first scene.

After Wu Wende finished speaking, there was silence.

A dead silence.

He looked up at Lu Yun and was suddenly frightened as he saw the black pupils radiating a terrifying cold light.

Superior Real Estate!

Caused me to flee my hometown for 15 years! Almost resulted in me being trapped in a raging fire! Almost caused me to lose seven sisters!

How do we settle this score? Huh???
