Yu Yao was already mentally prepared. Her expression did not change at all, but her eyes became increasingly cold and dark.
“These must only be the tip of the iceberg. They must have done more than that.”
Yu Lang frowned slightly, and his expression gradually became more and more solemn as well.
“Recently, we have been in close contact with the police. I only obtained this information from the police. The cases here all have concrete evidence that can link them to the criminal network. There are many other bizarre deaths or family deaths. Although the police have their suspicions, because they don’t have evidence, they can’t be linked to the underground criminal network.”
“When we see a cockroach in the house, it means that every dark corner of the room is filled with this disgusting creature,” Yu Yao said calmly. “And when a cockroach affects people’s normal lives, we have to clear the entire room and eliminate them.”
“Yaoyao is really bold.” Yu Lang chuckled at first, then sighed with some pity. “Yu Heng is too arrogant and idealistic, while Yu Jue is too innocent and childish. Yaoyao, if possible, I hope you can help me after you graduate.”
“I don’t want to!” Yu Yao wrinkled her delicate nose in disdain.
“Why not?” Yu Lang was a little surprised. “Yaoyao, our family doesn’t have the bad habit of favoring men over women. As long as you’re willing to enter the company, you can rely on your own abilities to obtain more shares and dividends than Yu Heng, Yu Jue, or even me.”
“Life is only a few decades long. Since I can live happily without entering the company, why should I be a corporate slave like you?”
The smile on Yu Lang’s lips stiffened. “Corporate slave? So that’s how Yaoyao sees me?”
“What else can I see you as?” Yu Yao glanced at Yu Lang with disdain. “Count how many days of leave you have taken this year and how many days you’ve stayed overtime. I don’t want to live like you.”
“Then Yao Yao, just enjoy your life happily in the future. I’ll work hard to manage the company and guarantee that your dividends will increase every year and you’ll be able to continue living without a worry.”
Yu Lang suddenly sighed helplessly. “Yu Heng and Yu Jue are probably thinking the same thing as you. That’s why when they chose their majors in university, they chose what they liked and not what would benefit their future in business management. But there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m the eldest brother after all. As the eldest brother, I naturally have to pay for my younger siblings’ dreams.”
Actually, thinking about it carefully, Yu Lang really seemed to be quite helpless. He alone supported the huge Yu Corporation and worked hard to create benefits for the entire family. He also had to give his younger siblings a huge bonus every year.
Thinking up to this point, Yu Yao patted her eldest brother’s shoulder and sighed. “It must be difficult for you. Yu Heng, Yu Jue, and Yu Wan can’t help you at all. Yet, you still have to help them earn money. You can practically be called a high-ranked laborer.”
Yu Yao’s mature manner made Yu Lang shake his head and laugh. “If I’m a high-rank laborer, I’d only be working for Yu Heng, Yu Jue, and you. Yu Wan isn’t my biological sister. She doesn’t take any dividends from the company.”
“What? Yu Wan doesn’t get any dividends?” This was beyond Yu Yao’s expectations. She recalled the plot in the book she had once read and frowned as she asked suspiciously, “But Yu Wan has said many times that she has shares in the company and can get a considerable amount of dividends every year.”
Yu Yao still remembered that this part had been emphasized in the book. Yu Wan had intentionally expressed how much the Yu family valued her in front of the original Yu Yao. These small details had directly agitated the original Yu Yao, causing her to furiously question Yu Lang about the matter. In the end, she had only received a round of humiliation.
It was precisely because this plot had been too memorable that Yu Yao did not believe Yu Lang’s words.
Yu Lang seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Yu Wan’s existence was still a knot in Yu Yao’s heart.
He did not become impatient but explained patiently, “Although before you returned, Yu Wan had always been treated as the biological daughter of the Yu family. Our family was never stingy about money and material goods. Previously, Father had also thought of giving some shares to Yu Wan so that she could have money to depend on after getting married. However, now that you’re back, of course we won’t ignore our real sibling and give our shares to outsiders instead.”
Was he telling the truth? Yu Yao’s expression was a little stunned. She did not dare to believe Yu Lang’s words, but Yu Lang’s expression was so serious and sincere. That sincere gaze seemed to be able to suppress the suspicions that rose from the bottom of her heart.
“But, don’t you guys think highly of Yu Wan? Previously, she always said…”
Yu Lang sighed lightly and patted Yu Yao’s head. “I’m not sure what Yu Wan told you, but I can roughly guess that she just wants you to think that we’re doting on her unconditionally. Our family isn’t short of money. Like you, she can get a considerable allowance from our family every month. This is probably the so-called dividends that she mentioned..”
