Chapter 104 The Call
For three days, Chang Xi did her best to take care of Yu Shan. However, the sanatorium was very expensive, and this was a very high-end sanatorium. After the previous incident, Yu Shui stopped paying for Yu Shan’s stay in the sanatorium.
Hence, the sanatorium had already ordered Yu Shan to move out.
Yu Shan had been becoming more and more depressed recently. He would even go through the entire day in a daze. He was completely unlike how spirited and hopeful towards life he used to be.
This pained Chang Xi deeply, but there was nothing she could do.
Today, Mr. and Mrs. Yu, as well as their second son, Yu Shui, came to the sanatorium. Yu Shui even brought a few powerful bodyguards with him. It was obvious that they were professional martial artists.
When Mr. and Mrs. Yu saw Yu Shan’s despondence, both of them could not help but weep.
“Shanzi, you can’t torture yourself like this. It’s all your brother’s fault. He’s a bastard.”
Mr. Yu also shouted, “Second son, are you really so heartless? You drove your brother into this state. Just return the money to your brother. Do you think our family can possibly be destitute?”
Mr. and Mrs. Yu were merely ordinary elders who were kind and honest. They did not want to see their two sons turn out like this, and only wanted less for Yu Shan to continue sinking into depression.
Familial harmony brings prosperity to everything. But now, because of money, the brothers had turned against each other. This also distressed them greatly. However, Yu Shui ignored his parents’ scoldings and said indifferently, “Yu Shan, I’ll call you big brother one more time! You must have tried all kinds of methods over the past few days. Did it work? In any case, you’re my big brother. Just give me an answer. Don’t cause trouble anymore. Leave your future life and your marriage with sister-in-law to me, all right? If you want to open a company, I can also provide the funds. We can work together and divide the shares equally. How about that? You just have to give me an affirmative answer. If you continue to cause trouble, it won’t do any good for you, me, or our entire family.”
In reality, recent events in the Yu family had become a joke to the entire Stone City. The Yu family was considered to be somewhat prestigious and famed in Stone City. Now that something like this had happened between the two Yu brothers, it also caused a huge impact on the Yu family. Moreover, Yu Shui did not really want to give no quarters, so he came over to “reconcile”. Of course, to Yu Shui, this was “reconciliation”. To Yu Shan, however, this was simply humiliation. Yu Shui had embezzled all his money, and even his compensation was no exception. Now, Yu Shui came over as if he was giving alms and told Yu Shan to stop causing trouble. How could reclaiming his own money be considered causing trouble?
“Heh.”
Yu Shan only lifted his head and glanced coldly at the bodyguards behind Yu Shui. He said suddenly, “Second brother, are you afraid of me? Afraid of a cripple like me?” Yu Shui’s expression turned rather ugly. He was indeed afraid of Yu Shan. He had lived in the shadow of Yu Shan since he was young. How could he not be afraid of Yu Shan?
“Big brother, my dear big brother, of course I’m afraid of you. Even if you’re crippled, you were once a high-level martial artist. If I don’t bring some bodyguards, I’m really afraid that you’ll do something foolish in a moment of impulse. If you really don’t accept my sincerity and don’t want to reconcile, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. From today onwards, you’ll have to move out of the sanatorium!”
“No, you can’t do this. Yu Shui, you can’t do this to your big brother. I don’t want to judge who’s right and who’s wrong, but he’s your big brother!”
Chang Xi hurriedly blocked in front of Yu Shan and rebuked Yu Shui sharply.
Yu Shui stared intently at Yu Shan and suddenly chuckled. “Big brother, I really envy you. Even when you’re crippled, you can still meet such a good girl as sister-in-law. There’s no point in continuing to cause trouble. Even if you don’t consider it for yourself, you have to consider it for sister-in-law, right? You can’t let down such a good girl. As long as you promise to stop causing trouble everywhere, you can continue to live in the sanatorium. You can open the company if you want. I’ll sponsor it, and we can have half the shares each. I believe that with your ability, the company will definitely prosper. Then, we’ll still be a family. How’s that?”
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Yu also persuaded, “That’s right, Shanzi, just agree to it. Our second son is a bastard, he’s inhumane, but he’s your brother after all. Just agree to his terms.”
A trace of determination appeared in Yu Shan’s turbid eyes. He said coldly, “You should leave.”
“Shanzi, you…”
“Shanzi, listen to our advice. You are family and shouldn’t fight with each other.”

Tears streamed down Mr. and Mrs. Yu’s faces. They really did not want to see Yu Shan and Yu Shui fighting and harming each other as brothers. But they were undeniably responsible for the state the two brothers had come to today.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Yu Shui took a deep breath and sneered, “All right then, Yu Shan, I’ll make you give up completely. Let’s see how long you can hold out for.”
Seeing Yu Shui’s sinister expression, Chang Xi was very worried. She was really afraid that Yu Shui would do something harmful to Yu Shan. In his current state, Yu Shan could no longer withstand any more blows.
Beep-beep beep.
Suddenly, the communicator beside Yu Shan rang urgently, attracting everyone’s attention. Why would someone contact Yu Shan at a time like this?
Out of the corner of her eye, Chang Xi saw the name of the contact on the screen. Her expression lit up. Lin Feng. It was Lin Feng, who she had sent a message to three days ago. At this moment, Lin Feng had finally contacted Yu Shan.
Yu Shan was a little surprised. Why would Lin Feng suddenly contact him?
Although Yu Shan had also thought of asking Lin Feng for help before, for some reason, he hesitated to call Lin Feng’s communicator. He did not know why. Perhaps it was fear, perhaps it was a lack of confidence, or perhaps there was some other reason.
However, now that Lin Feng had taken the initiative to contact him, he could only answer.
“Lin Feng.”
The other end of the communicator was silent for a long time without speaking.
Eventually, a familiar voice came from the communicator. “Yu Shan, I’ll rush to Stone City as soon as I can. Wait for me!” With that short sentence, Lin Feng switched off his communicator.
Yu Shan opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but held back from doing so. However, deep down, he was very touched. Just that one sentence of few words was enough! This was his true brother, the brother who would go through life-or-death with him!
“Xiaoxi, what’s going on?”
Yu Shan also saw the unnatural expression on Chang Xi’s face, so he asked.
Chang Xi did not conceal it. Her voice was filled with joy as she said in a low voice, “Yu Shan, it’s Lin Feng, right? I sent him a message three days ago and told him in detail about the trouble you’re in now. I didn’t expect he’d really interfere. He’ll help us, right?”
“Yes, of course he’ll help!” Yu Shan said with conviction. Although he still looked a little tired, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. He was no longer dispirited and despondent. The Yu Shan in Chang Xi’s memory had returned!
However, Yu Shui, who had yet to leave, caught sight of this scene. His expression changed slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Yu Shan, who was the person who contacted you just now?”
