Yu Heng has an older sister. Back then, because his parents had a bad relationship and often argued, his young daughter was tricked by Yu's father into marrying him, who was penniless.

Even the fact that the couple got pregnant out of wedlock forced the parents to give in, but it also infuriated them. Despite their good financial situation, the parents didn't offer the young couple any help.

Yu Heng's mother was also resolute and insisted on going back to her hometown with Yu's father. The first few years were not bad, although it was a bit tough, but love made them content.

But just as she became pregnant with Yu Heng, Yu's father became addicted to gambling. After that, it was a cycle of gambling, quitting gambling, relapsing into gambling, borrowing money, and eventually escalating into domestic violence.

Finally, when Yu Heng was two years old, she could no longer bear it and fled back to her parents' home with Yu Heng.

Seeing their daughter's tragic end, Mr. and Mrs. Li dared not blame her in the slightest. They even put aside their years of discord and tried their best to maintain a warm home in front of their daughter.

Because of years of discord between her parents, a broken marriage, and even beatings from her husband, Yu Heng's mother developed a serious mental illness.

After years of treatment, her condition had barely stabilized. When her condition improved, she wanted to go find her daughter, but when she went to look for her, she learned that because her husband gambled and borrowed money from loan sharks, her mother-in-law could not bear it and moved away with her daughter and brother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Yu's father tragically died in a car accident while fleeing from loan sharks.

The fact that there was absolutely no information about her daughter, despite the vastness of the world, triggered another relapse of her illness.

With Li's parents having to take care of Li Zhiyi and Yu Heng still so young, they were overwhelmed and didn't have the energy to look for help.

So many years have passed, and the last bit of news about it has long since vanished.

A while ago, there was a flu outbreak, and Li's mother unfortunately got infected. Li's father was taking care of her at the hospital when he accidentally fell. The two elderly people were getting old and had been working hard in recent years, so their health was not as good as before, and they passed away one after the other.

Yu Heng's mother, Li Zhiyi, also collapsed after her parents' funeral and passed away after more than two months of illness.

Yu Heng remembers that day when his mother suddenly got better. He was pleasantly surprised to see the breakfast his mother had made when he got up, but when he saw his mother's slightly rosy cheeks, his heart trembled. He felt as if there was a piece of wood stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to say a word.

He ate his breakfast, which was choking him, with a seemingly calm expression, trying hard to swallow the food while his mother kept nagging him about things to pay attention to in life.

Finally, he heard his mother say, "What I worry about most is you and your sister. Go and see your sister, and see if she's doing well. You still have family, so your mother won't worry too much."

Then came his mother's funeral. Strangely, he remained calm, and the successive funerals made him feel a little numb.

Letting his thoughts overwhelm him, Yu Heng gradually fell asleep on the sofa.

The next day, Yu Heng was woken up by his phone.

"Hello, who is this?" Yu Heng picked up his phone, feeling a splitting headache. He had fallen asleep on the sofa yesterday, and recently he had been too tired, sleeping straight through until dawn.

Yu Heng touched his forehead and found that his temperature was indeed a bit high.

"Hello, this is the Mingshan District Police Station. Are you Mr. Yu Heng?"

"Yes," Yu Heng said, somewhat surprised, his mind clearing up a bit.

"Here's the thing, did you donate 500,000 yuan on the 'Guardians of Love Network' yesterday?"

"Yes"

Yu Heng felt he had received a scam call and was wondering whether to hang up when the other end continued, "Mr. Yu, this website was a scam website. It was just shut down yesterday, and all your donations have been recovered. When would you like to come to my office to collect your money?"

Yu Heng...

Yu Heng felt his head wasn't hurting as much anymore, so was this a new type of scam? No, was he the one who had been scammed before?

"Okay, I'll go this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Heng found the first-aid kit, took a few pills, and was finally able to think about the matter properly.

Is this a scam? Probably not, since scam calls usually don't mention going to the police station. It means he was scammed before, and now that he's gotten his money back, does that count as completing the system's task?

"System, if I take the mission reward back, will the mission be considered complete?"

[Host, the task is complete, and the cashback has been calculated.]

So, does the system not care where the money goes after the task is completed?

Looking at the time, it was almost noon; no wonder he felt ravenous. Yu Heng decided to wash up and go out for lunch first.
