C8 Survive the Disaster(1)

Disregarding the hospital staff's reactions, Yang Yu quickly ushered his mother and sister out of the hospital. Uncle Hua drove them home, coincidentally arriving just as their father returned. The family's reunion felt like a rebirth after a lifetime apart. Having emerged from dire straits, they treasured every moment together even more.

Despite the disarray of their home, the Yang family knew that as long as they were united, they could overcome any challenge. "Come on over to my place for dinner, and we'll sort out the rest later!" Uncle Hua warmly insisted, ushering the family along.

His mother attempted to lock the door, only to find it had been broken by Lai San and others. With their valuables long sold off, there was nothing left to tempt thieves.

Upon reaching Hua Junliang's home, they found a man without sons but blessed with three daughters of unparalleled beauty. Hua Yuyan, the eldest, had graduated from college and was earning a handsome salary at a financial company—quite the achievement in a city like Spalding. Hua Yurong, the middle daughter, was interning with the special law enforcement team, poised to follow in her father's footsteps and earn widespread respect. Despite her rebellious streak, she was undeniably impressive. The youngest, Hua Yushi, had just started college and was already known as the campus beauty. With her academic credentials and looks, a lucrative career was well within her reach.

In stark contrast, the Yang siblings faced tougher prospects. Yang Yu, a high school senior, was on the cusp of college entrance exams. But as a self-confessed study slacker, his future seemed limited to a mediocre specialty at best. Yang Manman, though gifted in dance, struggled academically and had little chance of attending a top university, with a second-tier institution being her best hope.

The Hua family shone brightly, while the Yangs, fresh from adversity, bore the marks of their recent ordeal, their faces etched with exhaustion.

"Yuyan!" Yang Yu's gaze fixed on Hua Yuyan, unable to shift in the slightest. It had been a while since he'd seen her, and she appeared even more stunning than before.

Hua Yuyan was blessed with extraordinary looks and an ethereal aura. Her entry into society had only added to her maturity, making her even more captivating to onlookers than Hua Yushi and Yang Manman.

For a young high schooler like Yang Yu, her allure was almost too much to handle.

"Brother, watch out!" Yang Manman exclaimed upon witnessing the scene.

"Watch out for what?" Yang Yu responded, clearly annoyed.

"For your eyeballs popping out!" Yang Manman quipped, prompting laughter from everyone and diffusing the tension in the room.

"By the way, Mom, let's pay back all the money we borrowed from the relatives after dinner," Yang Yu suggested, recalling the daily task from his Super Rich System.

"How much do we owe?" his father, Yang Lishan, inquired.

"Roughly three hundred thousand yuan," his mother answered. The amount they had scraped together for Yang Manman's hospital stay was unclear even to her.

"We must pay it back. Let's sell the house and rent somewhere to live," Yang Lishan proposed immediately.

"There's no need, Dad. I've got money," Yang Yu interjected, revealing his appointment as the heir.

His declaration was a bombshell.

"What did you say?" Yang Lishan stared at Yang Yu, his face a picture of disbelief and shock.

"How could Kung Tianhua possibly leave his fortune to Yu?" Hua Junliang was equally baffled, well aware of Kung Tianhua's past connections with both Yang Lishan and himself.

Given the history of discord between Yang Lishan and Kung Tianhua, such a turn of events seemed unfathomable.

"Yu, could this be some kind of scheme by Kung Tianhua?" Hua Yuyan suggested, voicing her concern.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yu quickly clarified, "That's impossible. Kung Tianhua has passed away; there's no way it could be a trap!"

"Yu, what's going on here?" Yang Lishan asked with grave concern.

He was skeptical that Kung Tianhua would be so generous as to hand over his inheritance to Yang Yu.

"Yu, don't be fooled into thinking that fortune just falls into your lap. Anything that comes too easily is likely a trap. I've been on the force for years and have seen it all. Walk me through everything that happened. If there's an issue, we need to get the police involved right away, or you could end up losing even more," Hua Junliang advised.

Hearing them talk made me anxious too. "Yu, what's the real story? If you're unsure, let Uncle Hua handle it. We can't afford to take this lightly!" Lyu Huan, his mother, chimed in urgently.

Yang Lishan had been restrained simply on suspicion of misappropriating a million yuan.

Now, Yang Yu had inexplicably come into tens of millions in assets. If there was a hitch, the fallout could be dire.

Yang Yu felt overwhelmed. The situation was supposed to be straightforward—he had used the System Devastator to seize the Super Rich System, naturally inheriting the wealth of its previous owner, Kung Tianhua.

But he couldn't reveal anything about the System Devastator. Without that crucial piece, his story wouldn't hold water.

At his wit's end, Yang Yu had an epiphany about utilizing the system. "This all started with the system, so there has to be a way to resolve it within the system itself."

The System Devastator was the first thing that came to mind, yet when he tapped its icon, a message from the Super Rich System popped up: "Gentle reminder to the host, you have an incomplete task and cannot switch systems at this time!"

Frustrated but helpless, Yang Yu opened the Super Rich System's shop and searched, "Is there an item that can legitimize my inheritance of Kung Tianhua's fortune?"

"Ding! The Super Rich System recommends the 'Logical Conclusion Card'!"

"The 'Logical Conclusion Card' will craft a narrative that, once read by the host, makes any situation seem logical and garner widespread acceptance. Your first purchase is on the house—zero system coins!"

"It's free? Now that's a steal!" Yang Yu thought to himself with glee, snapping up a Super Rich System Card right away.

"Yu, I told you to explain today's events. What are you doing with that card?" Yang Lishan's face darkened with growing anger.

Unruffled, Yang Yu scribbled a line on the card, "Make inheriting Kung Tianhua's estate a logical conclusion!"

No sooner had Yang Yu finished writing than a sentence materialized on the card: "Kung Tianhua thought I was good-looking, so he left me his fortune!"

Reading this, Yang Yu's face contorted in disbelief, "Damn, what a load of crap! Who would fall for that?"

"Yang Yu, if you don't start talking, I swear I'll thump you!" Yang Lishan, now frantic, had already seized Yang Yu by the arm.

Driven to the edge, Yang Yu blurted out the written words in a last-ditch effort, "Kung Tianhua thought I was good-looking, so he left me his fortune!"

"You? Good-looking?" Yang Lishan's face twisted in shock.

Yang Yu could tell instantly that the look on his face screamed, "Kid, you think you can play me like that?"
