From Fang Yunfei's memories, Nan Yuanman saw many scenes of Fang Yunfei being bullied by Lu Weiguo when he was a child.
Insults and abuse were commonplace for him, and the villagers often isolated him. What was even more outrageous was that he brought the village's big yellow dog to eat the food that Fang Yunfei had worked so hard to prepare.
The little girl's cheeks flushed red with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly: "That's too much! That's absolutely too much!" How could they bully someone like that!
Nan Yuanman subconsciously wanted to help Fang Yunfei, but her hand passed through Fang Yunfei's body. Only then did she come to her senses and realize that these were Fang Yunfei's memories, things that happened in his past.
Fortunately, Fang Yunfei wouldn't just let Lu Weiguo bully him, so he fought back, and the two became entangled until they were sixteen.
Lu Weiguo's uncle came to his house and said he wanted to take him into business. He proudly boasted to Fang Yunfei, "Fang Yunfei, I'm going to do big business. Just you wait. When I come back, you'll have to call me Boss Lu!"
"By then, we won't be from the same world anymore."
Fang Yunfei was too busy to pay any attention to him. After showing off for a while, Lu Weiguo left with his uncle.
When he returned, ten years had passed.
Ten years have passed, and the village and the city have developed rapidly. Fang Yunfei has also accumulated some savings and gotten married.
Compared to Fang Yunfei, who was living a comfortable life, Lu Weiguo was in a much worse state. Ten years had passed, and he had not only failed to become a big boss, but he was also heavily in debt, and his wife had divorced him.
He spends his days listlessly at home, leaving his blind elderly mother to take care of him.
Fang Yunfei couldn't bear to see Lu Weiguo like this, so he delivered meals to his family several times and also advised Lu Weiguo that he was still young and should continue to cheer up.
Lu Weiguo seemed to gradually cheer up under his persuasion, but he overlooked the way Lu Weiguo would occasionally look at his wife Yang Juan, and the jealousy hidden in his heart when he looked at him.
Remembering how Lu Weiguo's mother had helped him when he was a child, Fang Yunfei introduced Lu Weiguo, who was unemployed at home, to some work.
Lu Weiguo was very grateful for this and often drank with him. He even apologized to Fang Yunfei for his childishness when he was young. The two then reconciled and their relationship improved.
Six months after Lu Weiguo returned, Yang Juan became pregnant. Fang Yunfei quit his job to go home and take care of her. However, half a month later, Lu Weiguo suddenly sent someone to find him, saying that a machine at the construction site had suddenly stopped working and asked him to come and take a look.
Fang Yunfei thought that it wouldn't take long to inspect a machine, so he went without any suspicion. Little did he know that once he left, he would never return.
In Fang Yunfei's memory, as soon as he arrived at the construction site, Lu Weiguo hit him on the back of the head with a stick and knocked him unconscious.
When he woke up, he was tied to a pillar in the pit by Lu Weiguo, who was holding sulfuric acid and looking at him with a gloomy and jealous expression.
Fang Yunfei's head was spinning, and he asked him incredulously, "Lu Weiguo?! What... what are you doing?!"
Lu Weiguo laughed heartily, his face beaming with satisfaction: "So many years have passed, Fang Yunfei, you're still as stupid as ever!"
"You don't actually think I consider you a brother, do you? How could someone as lowly as you be worthy of being my brother?"
"God! You're so blind! How come someone like you can live such a good life and have such a gentle and kind wife! But my wife abandoned me when I went bankrupt!"
Lu Weiguo had always disliked Fang Yunfei. He couldn't understand why Fang Yunfei could still live so happily every day, even though his parents didn't want him anymore and the old man who adopted him had died.
Why is it that Fang Yunfei, an orphan with nothing, married such a good wife and has a stable and happy family?
However, as he approached middle age, he was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his wife, finding him unlucky, aborted their child and ran off with another man.
Why should I?!
People like Fang Yunfei should stay in the mire forever and never get up!
What Lu Weiguo found most unacceptable was that Fang Yunfei even pretended to sympathize with him!
Ha! That's not sympathy, it's wanting to see him make a fool of himself!
Seeing Fang Yunfei tied to a pillar and subjected to his beatings and scoldings, Lu Weiguo felt a surge of satisfaction.
Fang Yunfei was stunned, his face full of shock: "Is that what you really think?"
"Otherwise what? Fool! What do you think you are to me? A friend? Ha! Don't be ridiculous! Are you even qualified to be my friend?" Lu Weiguo sneered and decisively splashed the sulfuric acid in his hand at Fang Yunfei.
Fang Yunfei was tied up and had no way to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the highly corrosive sulfuric acid drenched him from head to toe.
Fang Yunfei's screams echoed throughout the construction site. Seeing his miserable state, Lu Weiguo smiled gleefully: "Yunfei, Yunfei, didn't you consider me a brother? Then do one last thing for your brother."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and children."
Lu Weiguo burst into laughter, started the mud-mixing machine, poured cement into the pit, and buried Fang Yunfei alive as he screamed in agony.
As he was submerged in cement and rendered lifeless, Fang Yunfei's ghost floated out in a daze.
Seeing Lu Weiguo groveling before the contractor, he smiled and said to the contractor, "Boss, don't worry, he has no relatives, only a wife. I'll take care of his wife; I absolutely won't let her cause trouble at the construction site."
“Even if she comes to make trouble, she won’t be able to recognize Fang Yunfei anymore. I’ve already ruined his face with sulfuric acid.”
The foreman smiled with satisfaction and handed Lu Weiguo a wad of cash: "This is your payment. With this live stake, the project should be able to be completed smoothly."
"Yes, yes." Lu Weiguo nodded and bowed, then said, "However, the living stump still has some resentment. Boss, you'd better invite a master to completely trap his soul here, so that he can never be reincarnated. That would be perfect, and he could also become the guardian spirit of our construction site."
Foreman: "Okay, I'll figure something out."
Fang Yunfei's eyes were bloodshot, and he charged forward, baring his teeth and claws, wanting to kill the two beasts. However, he was a newly born ghost and had no power at all, so he could not harm them.
He could only watch helplessly as Lu Weiguo returned home and lied to his six-month pregnant wife, claiming he had been taken on a business trip by his boss. Then, while his wife was asleep, he broke into the house and forced himself on her, causing her to bleed heavily from her genitals. His six-month-old baby was lost just like that.
His wife was barely saved, but he threatened her to give herself to him, or he would tell the whole village, him, and her workplace about their affair.
He forced his wife to obey him.
Fang Yunfei knew that Nan Yuanman could also see his memories, but he didn't let her see the part about his wife being coerced.
When Nan Yuanman Guang saw that the older sister being threatened by Lu Weiguo, she became extremely angry. Her chubby face puffed up with rage, and flames of anger seemed to burst forth from her eyes.
Later, the contractor actually found a master to trap Fang Yunfei on the construction site.
Later, Lu Weiguo's grandson, Lu Xu, went to the building that had been built on the construction site years ago for work. By a twist of fate, he activated the formation that had trapped Fang Yunfei, causing Fang Yunfei, who had been trapped on the construction site for several years, to catch up with him.
Fang Yunfei's memory faded.
Amidst a thick cloud of resentment, Fang Yunfei grabbed Lu Weiguo by the neck, lifting him up with a look of terror on his face: "Tell me, have I wronged you?!"
Lu Weiguo kicked his legs in mid-air, struggling desperately, his face turning red from the effort. He was terrified. Just as Fang Yunfei was about to strangle him, he shouted with difficulty, "Fang Yunfei! Don't you want to know where Yang Juan is right now?!"
Yang Juan is the name of Fang Yunfei's wife.
Lu Weiguo knew that Fang Yunfei cared about her and wanted to use her to restrain Fang Yunfei.
Lu Weiguo, his face flushed, said, word by word, "She...she is still...still alive."
Upon hearing this long-unheard name, Fang Yunfei paused for a moment, and the hand gripping his neck subconsciously loosened.
But then he heard Nan Yuanman's voice: "He's lying to you!"
Nan Yuanman's eyes were red with anger. She clenched her small fists and said, "That older sister... she's dead."
Lu Weiguo's heart sank. He glared at Nan Yuanman and cursed at her, "What do you know, you good-for-nothing! Stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Xu, lying in his hospital bed, suddenly spoke up: "What she said is true."
"Grandma... she died a long time ago."
