They originally wanted to gain Hu Xingyun's trust by claiming to be the descendant of Xu Zhilin, but they estimated that Hu Xingyun would most likely not return the Xu family treasures readily, so they had already made plans for a long-term battle.

I never expected that Hu Xingyun was a short-lived person, dead for over 20 years.

Xu Tianfang deliberately approached Hu Yitong and tried to mention Xu Zhilin's name in front of him, but Hu Yitong looked puzzled: "Xu Zhilin? Which village? I've never heard of him."

It doesn't look fake.

The father and son conducted a secret investigation and facilitated Hu Yitong's dismissal. They also hired two thugs to rob his tricycle, smash his head and break his legs.

It can almost be said that people have been pushed into a desperate situation. If there are any treasures, they should be exchanged for money.

However, it did not.

Xu Huaiwen has inherited his father's true skills. He feels that he has not been pushed to the limit yet. The father and son secretly bribe Pu Wanchun and let old Pu gradually make Hu Yitong addicted to gambling.

He also set up a trap in gambling and cheated the Hu family of all their money. As time went by, he owed Lao Pu another 8,000 yuan in gambling debts.

Xu Tianfang and Xu Huaiwen felt that it was about time, so they kept a close eye on his every move as he returned home, not missing a single clue.

Who would have thought that gambling addiction could really make people lose their humanity? They watched Hu Yitong buy some wild medicine (a knockout drug), which he actually gave to his wife. After she passed out, he actually called Lao Pu over. Not long after, unspeakable noises were heard from the house. Hu was standing at the gate, listening to the noise and keeping watch on Lao Pu...

What kind of human nature is this?

As expected, after Zhao Yaping woke up, she divorced Hu Yitong without hesitation, took their daughter away, and disappeared.

Hu and Zhao's son also moved to school and did not go home during the winter and summer vacations.

This family just broke up like that. The Xu family's father and son looked at each other, feeling a little regretful. They really wanted to get rich, but they never expected that they would bring the family to this point.

But things had come to this point, and they couldn't just give up. With the help of Lao Pu, they rented the Hu family's yard.

After moving into the Hu family, several members of the Xu family did all kinds of things every day, digging up the Hu family's house inside and out, even leaving the beams and tiles untouched.

But nothing was found.

When Hu Guiyuan came back carrying the axe, the Xu family felt guilty and moved out immediately, without even going back to ask for the remaining three months' rent.

But they did not stop there, but completely moved into the dark.

In the previous life, there was no Ling Shuang to replace Zhao Yaping, nor Lin Yi to replace Hu Yitong, and the Xu family eventually extended their claws to Hu Guiyuan.

They intercepted and forged Hu Guile's letter for help, preventing Hu Guiyuan from arriving in K City in time to save his sister from the clutches of her beastly stepfather. Although he later received a second letter from his sister, the damage was done and it was too late.

In a fit of rage, Hu Guiyuan accidentally injured his stepfather and was sentenced to three years in prison. When he was released, his stepfather, mother and sister had disappeared.

He also tried to support himself and find a job to support himself, but he only had a high school education and a criminal record, so no formal company was willing to hire him.

In the end, he had no choice but to return to the Hu family's courtyard and live under the same roof with his decadent father, but the relationship between father and son was worse than strangers.

At first, he followed Liu Da to deliver goods. When he had free time, he would go to the Internet cafe and post on the forum to look for his sister.

Later, he met a friend who especially understood his distress and confusion, and who joined him in cursing and lamenting the unfairness of fate. The friend's name was Xu Huaiwen.

This friend not only chatted and drank with him, but also took him with him to find spiritual sustenance on the Internet. They stayed in Xu Huaiwen's house where he lived alone, watching movies from all over the world, listening to various pop music, playing various computer games, and eventually came into contact with online gambling, and both of them became addicted.

Hu Guiyuan had become the person he hated most, even worse than his father. He and Xu Huaiwen each made up different excuses to "borrow money" from everyone they knew, eventually becoming a pariah, their reputations tainted.

This was probably something Xu Tianfang and Xu Huaiwen had never imagined when they first started planning. The Hu family was ruined, Hu Guiyuan was ruined, and the Xu family, the instigator of the disaster, also lost their most promising son.

Xu Tianfang finally regretted his greed. He took drastic measures and returned to his hometown with his family. In order to help his son get rid of his gambling addiction and cut off his contact with the outside world, he broke Xu Huaiwen's legs and completely confined him at home.

Hu Guiyuan and Hu Yitong lived together in a daze for another six or seven years. One morning, he vigorously cleaned the room that had not seen the light of day for many years, took a shower, cut his hair, changed into a relatively clean and tidy set of clothes, and left the house with a smile.

No one has seen him since then.

A few years later, Hu Yitong also died of poverty.

In Hu Xingyun's eyes, the Hu family was wiped out. He spent many years in the underworld without receiving offerings from his descendants, never knowing why. It wasn't until his son, Hu Yitong, came down to reunite with him that he learned the full story.

In a fit of rage, he contacted the Space-Time Administration, but because his soul power was insufficient to reverse time and space, he was rejected by the administration.

The ancestors of the Hu family have been reincarnated for many years. Apart from him, Hu Xingyun, the only ones who are able and willing to use their soul power to save their grandson should be his parents.

He asked around and finally found his daughter-in-law Zhao Yaping. However, Zhao Yaping's mental state was very bad. Even after becoming a ghost, she still looked confused and distraught.

Hu Xingyun asked her to go to the Space-Time Administration with him, and she didn't refuse. She followed the Hu father and son and came here in a leisurely manner.

Lin Yi had already learned the entire story from the time travel machine. He even saw the place where Hu Guiyuan committed suicide. Tragic! Truly tragic!

The reason why Hu Xingyun could not find Hu Guiyuan's soul in the underworld was because people who committed suicide do not go to the underworld or enter the cycle of reincarnation. Day after day, their souls repeat the actions of the day of suicide at the place of suicide.

Therefore, Xu Tianfang's family is definitely not innocent.

Although the underworld will settle accounts with their merits and demerits after they die, Lin Yi scoffed at it. If you have a grudge, don't count on others, just take revenge yourself.

Although knowingly breaking the law is not allowed in a society ruled by law, killing people and destroying their hearts, making the rest of their lives miserable, can be considered as a worthwhile mission for him.
