This wave has really stirred up a lot of hatred!
Yi Laosan never expected to be belittled to this extent, and he was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Why do the other three brothers receive such high praise, while I am used as a stepping stone and trampled on until my face is almost gone?
"Don't you even think about why no one is helping you? It's because you're both pathetic and cheap. You take the money and gamble it away, so you're definitely not going to pay it back. Everyone's money doesn't grow on trees, so why should we let you take advantage?" Yi Tianran said with a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
When Yi Laosan's thoughts were exposed, his cheeks turned a deep purplish-red, but he still stubbornly insisted, "I will pay back the money."
"Come on, with your face like that, who hasn't seen through you yet?" Yi Tianran looked disgusted and curled her lips. "Putting aside your identity as Third Master Yi, you are nothing. You have no looks, no brains, no skills, you're not even as good as a dog. At least a dog is loyal and knows how to please its master. What about you? Do you deserve it?"
"If I were living such a miserable life as you, I would have drowned myself in the lake long ago. And I don't want to be reincarnated to wreak havoc on the world. You're just polluting the air; you're like a giant bedbug that you can't kill even if you swat it."
She paused for half a second, looking down at him with disdain, delivering a fatal blow: "You'll never be as good as your three brothers in this lifetime. Get as far away from me as possible; I feel disgusted just looking at you."
“You…” Yi Laosan’s eyes were bloodshot. He had never been attacked like this in his life. At this moment, he even had the urge to kill.
"What? You want to lay a hand on me?" Yi Tianran said with her head held high and chest puffed out, seemingly unafraid. "Do you think I don't know about the recent changes in the Yi family? There are so many rumors circulating outside. I heard you're all too busy dealing with yourselves to have time to cause trouble for others?"
Yi Laosan convulsed all over, and recalling his current situation, he couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.
"You just wait. Once I get the money, I'll make sure your family is ruined and your reputation is utterly destroyed!"
He left angrily after uttering those harsh words.
A glint of light flashed in Yi Tianran's eyes, knowing that the provocation had worked.
The next step is to see if Yi Laosan will act in the direction she predicted.
...
As Yi Laosan charged out, the words "You will never be as good as the other three brothers of the Yi family" kept echoing in his mind, and he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
"Why should I!"
They are all illegitimate children, so who is more noble than the other?
The three Yi brothers relied on the halo that the Yi family brought them; how much better were they than themselves?
He is not so lowly as to be trampled underfoot like a piece of trash.
He was unwilling to accept it!
He wants to become the best of the best! The ruler! He wants to make all those who look down on him pay a terrible price!
He also wanted to surpass the three Yi brothers and become a true success story, praised by everyone.
The only way to achieve these conditions is to open that secret room.
That was his only chance to turn things around.
He knew that his three brothers would not agree to unlock the door because they had not been driven to the brink and could not feel his pain and breakdown.
Since they treat him this way, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
...
The night was pitch black, cold and silent.
A cold wind blew past outside, and the rustling of leaves could be heard from time to time.
It was past midnight when suddenly, a dark figure crouched low and sneaked out of a mansion.
He looked around to make sure there were no security guards nearby, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, took out a key, opened the door of the mansion, and slipped inside.
The shadowy figure moved with silent, hurried steps, cautiously navigating the winding paths within the house for quite some time.
Finally, we arrived at an empty room, pushed open the door, and went to the wall.
A mural nailed to the wall was forcibly removed, revealing a hidden compartment inside.
Open the hidden compartment, and a mechanism button will appear inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, the person pressed the button.
With a loud "bang," the heavy door slowly opened in front of him.
Yi Laosan rushed in impatiently, while the door slowly closed from the outside.
He practically flew all the way to the door of the room where the secret treasure was locked.
There are four keyholes on the door, and you need to collect all four keys to open it. There is no other way to unlock it.
This door was made by a world-class master craftsman using special materials.
The four keys were also made by the master himself; only he could make them.
Now that the master is dead, the four brothers each hold one of the four keys, which can serve as a check on each other, and none of them can be missing.
But at this moment, Yi Laosan looked smug and neatly took out the four keys from his pocket.
In retrospect, the three brothers underestimated him and were not on guard against him. Little did they know that while he had no other skills, he was adept at finding things.
He knew the three brothers very well, in particular.
The more he tried to hide himself from everyone, the more likely Yi Laosan was to find him.
Now that he had finally collected all the keys, he excitedly inserted one, two, and three into the holes.
Just as he was about to insert the fourth one with trembling hands, someone grabbed his wrist from behind.
"What are you doing?" A sinister, chilling voice, filled with intense anger, rang out from behind.
"!!!" Old Master Yi's pupils dilated in shock. He turned around in a panic and saw the three Yi brothers suddenly appear. He looked at them as if he had seen a ghost. "You, how did you get here!"
"That's what we should be asking you!" Old Yi grabbed his arm so hard he almost crushed his wrist.
"You actually dared to steal our keys and open the door to the secret room without permission?"
Yi Laosan's face turned green with pain. He flung away Yi Laosan's arm, stubbornly insisting, "What do you mean by stealing! I already had a share of the treasure inside. I just took it out to use beforehand. What's wrong with that?"
"You bastard!" Boss Yi was completely enraged. He raised his hand and slapped him across the face, turning half of his face to the side, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Even when he lost everything in the stock market, he had never been this angry.
At this moment, it was as if his sore spot had been touched, and he was filled with hostility. "I said that without discussing it with the four of us, no one is allowed to open the things inside in advance. Do you want to get us killed?"
Yi Laosan's cheeks throbbed with pain, and he raised his head with bloodshot eyes, roaring, "I don't care about anything else anymore, my way of survival has been cut off! You have no idea how I've been ridiculed and humiliated by outsiders. I've already paid off all my debts, so don't push me any further."
He was about to turn the key when he said that.
"Third brother, wake up!" Yi Hai gripped his hand tightly, not giving him a chance. "Whatever the problem, let's discuss it carefully. Now is not the time to act impulsively..."
"Get out of my way!"
