I Won $92 Million, but Told Everyone I Was Bankrupt

0:00First prize, I won first prize. What

0:01first prize? I won the jackpot, 92

0:03million. Look right here, 90 million. We

0:05don't have to live in this leaky dump

0:07anymore. Mhm. Why are you reacting like

0:09that? How am I supposed to react? I can

0:10quit delivering food and you can quit

0:12your part-time jobs. And then what? Pay

0:14off our debts, buy you a big house, buy

0:15my brother a home, and put a million

0:17away for my parents' retirement. Joshen,

0:18do you really think this is a good

0:20thing? If this isn't good news, what is?

0:21Money just fell from the sky. How could

0:23that possibly kill us? What are you

0:24trying to say? I'm saying we can't let

0:26anyone know, not one cent. Why?

0:28>> [music]

0:28>> I won it fair and square. You think your

0:29relatives will see it that way? Within 3

0:31days, that money will somehow belong to

0:32your brother. They're not like that.

0:34[music] You know exactly what they're

0:35like. Post something right now. What?

0:37Say your investment failed and you're

0:38300 grand in debt. Are you crazy? I just

0:41won 90 million and you want me to

0:42pretend I'm broke? Yes, you have to.

0:44It's the only way to see who people

0:45really are. My friends and co-workers

0:46have always treated me well. Wang even

0:48bought me noodles last month. Because

0:49you're poorer than he is. Being around

0:51you makes him feel superior. That's

0:52ridiculous. We're like brothers. Then

0:54test it. Let's see how much that

0:55brotherhood is worth. Fine. What if I

0:57post it and they all comfort me? If they

0:58comfort you and help you, I won't take a

1:00dime of the 90 million. Put it all in

1:01your brother's name. You said it. Post

1:03it. See, nobody even cares. What's the

1:05rush? See that? My mom's the first one

1:07calling. She saw the post and she's

1:08worried about me. Answer it. Put her on

1:09speaker. Mom, why are you still up?

1:11Joshen, have you lost your mind? What

1:13the hell did you post online? Mom, I I

1:15lost money on an investment. Lost money?

1:18What money did you have to invest?

1:20Weren't you saving that 100 grand to buy

1:21a place in the city? I thought I could

1:22earn more and buy a place sooner.

1:24Sooner? Now you've lost everything and

1:25owe another 300 grand. Are you trying to

1:27give me a heart attack? Mom, I know I

1:29messed up. My head's a mess right now,

1:30too. Do you know your brother has a

1:31blind date next month?

1:33The woman insists he own a house and

1:35he's still 150 grand short on the down

1:36payment. Your father and I were counting

1:38on your savings. Now it's all gone and

1:40you owe 300 grand. Mom, that was my life

1:43savings. I'm already 300 grand in debt.

1:45Aren't you worried about how I'll repay

1:46it? You're still thinking about his down

1:48payment? You're young and healthy.

1:49Deliver food for a few more years and

1:51you'll pay it off. Your brother's

1:52different. You're his older brother.

1:54Instead of helping, you caused trouble

1:55at the worst possible time.

1:58Why did you post that?

1:59Haven't you embarrassed this family

2:00enough?

2:01>> Delete it right now.

2:02>> Mom, if I can't repay it, I might I

2:04might get sued.

2:04>> That's your own fault. Don't even think

2:06about dragging your father and me into

2:07it. And whatever happens, don't involve

2:09your brother. If debt collectors come to

2:11our house, you're no son of ours.

2:12>> Mom, what did you just say?

2:13>> Did you not hear me? Starting tomorrow,

2:15don't tell anyone you're my son. Your

2:16brother's future can't be ruined by you.

2:18From now on, anything involving Joe Shun

2:20has nothing to do with this family.

2:22>> Shun, how could you be so reckless? You

2:23upset Mom and Dad so much their blood

2:25pressure spiked. You're so selfish.

2:26These are the people you starved

2:27yourself for, eating pickles just so you

2:29could send money home every month.

2:30>> Maybe they're just really angry.

2:32>> Don't rush. There are dozens of unread

2:33messages.

2:34>> [music]

2:34>> Keep going.

2:35>> Well, look at Shun playing the market

2:36like a pro. 300 grand in debt,

2:38impressive. He worked delivery so hard I

2:39thought he'd built up some savings.

2:41>> [music]

2:41>> Turns out he threw it all away. Well,

2:42this is great. How many deliveries does

2:44it take to pay off 300 grand? Don't let

2:46it hurt tomorrow's attendance. We have

2:47evaluations next month. Keep your

2:49negativity out of work.

2:50>> Siwon, you covered three night shifts

2:52for him last month.

2:53He bought you one $14 bowl of noodles

2:55and you've remembered it ever since. Now

2:56he's the first one mocking you in the

2:58group chat.

2:58>> Joe Shun, I saw your post. You're in

3:00serious trouble.

3:01>> [music]

3:01>> Things are hard for me, too. I just

3:02bought a new car and can barely make the

3:04payments. Don't blame me. Everyone's

3:05struggling. About that 3 grand I

3:07borrowed, give me another year.

3:09>> Now do you get it? When you're doing

3:10well, everyone around you seems nice.

3:12When you're down, they're all wolves.

3:14And you're not even truly broke. All you

3:16did was post a few words online.

3:17>> Wan Wan, I get it now.

3:18>> No, you don't. If they knew you had 90

3:20million, what do you think would happen?

3:21>> They'd tear me apart.

3:22>> They wouldn't just tear you apart,

3:24they'd use family and friendship to

3:25guilt you until you were just as poor as

3:26them or even worse off.

3:27>> So, what do we do now?

3:28>> You make your debt payments on time.

3:30>> [music]

3:30>> In everyone's eyes, you're still a

3:31delivery driver buried under 300 grand

3:33of debt. That's the only way you'll be

3:34safe.

3:35>> So, we keep the 90 million in an

3:36out-of-town bank and stay here?

3:38For how long?

3:39>> Until you learn how a wealthy person

3:40thinks, how to say no, and how to judge

3:42the world around you. Now go shower.

3:44You've still got deliveries tomorrow,

3:45Mr. Bankrupt.

3:46>> He blocked me.

3:47>> No surprise there. I just sent him 3

3:48grand for living expenses last month.

3:50Now that you owe 300 grand, he's afraid

3:51you'll ask for it back or expect him to

3:53help. Blocking you is probably better.

3:55At least you won't waste energy saying

3:56no later. The show at the delivery

3:58station should be even better today.

3:59Well, look who it is. Zun himself. Still

4:02taking orders today? That 300 grand debt

4:04can wait one day, can't it? I still need

4:05to work. How else am I supposed to repay

4:07it? Give it a rest, Joshun. Why pretend

4:09with us?

4:10You were always so cheap, we thought you

4:12were secretly getting rich. Turns out

4:13you lost a fortune. It's none of your

4:15business. How is it not? If you run off

4:17because of your debt, who's going to

4:18cover your orders? I was going to buy

4:19you dinner for covering my shift last

4:21month. Better save that money in case

4:22you ask me for a loan. You had a family

4:24emergency last month. I covered three

4:25night shifts for you. You volunteered. I

4:27never forced you. Terrible character.

4:29Always chasing easy money. You got what

4:30you deserved. Why are you all standing

4:32around? Don't you have work to do?

4:34Joshun, come here. Was that post true?

4:36You really lost everything and owe 300

4:37grand? What were you thinking? Do you

4:38realize how this affects the station's

4:40reputation? If corporate hears one of

4:42our drivers is buried in debt and

4:43complaints go up, who's paying for my

4:44lost bonus? Manager Lou, this is

4:46personal. I promise it won't affect my

4:48deliveries. Won't affect them. You owe

4:50300 grand.

4:51How can your mind still be on work?

4:53What if you get desperate and steal from

4:54a customer or mess up an order? Starting

4:56today, you're off the high-value

4:57downtown office routes. Li and Wong will

4:59take them. I spent 3 years building

5:01those customer relationships. They're

5:02not yours anymore. The station has to

5:04manage risk. From now on, you get the

5:05abandoned construction sites and

5:06industrial zone on the west side. Any

5:08objections? That's the hardest route

5:09with the worst ratings. You're lucky to

5:11get any work at all. Someone who owes

5:12300 grand doesn't get to be picky. I

5:14could have suspended you. This is me

5:16helping you. Now get out and stop

5:17wasting time. He once called me the

5:19backbone of the station and promised me

5:20all kinds of rewards.

5:21The second I hit hard times, I went from

5:23essential to unwanted baggage. Hey, Zun.

5:25That industrial area is great exercise.

5:26[music]

5:27Good luck. Oh, and Mr. Chen from the

5:29office district messaged me asking why

5:31you weren't delivering. I told him your

5:32investment failed and you're unstable,

5:34so I'll handle all his orders now. You

5:35focus on your industrial zone. Mr. Chen

5:37is my regular customer. Not anymore.

5:40The manager said you're a liability.

5:42What if you get hungry and steal Mr.

5:43Chen's afternoon snacks to sell them?

5:45>> [laughter]

5:45>> Am I right? Exactly. If you owe that

5:47much, don't drag the whole station down

5:48with you.

5:49>> Fine, take the orders. I hope you can

5:50handle them.

5:51>> Joe, I heard you're in debt and planning

5:52to run.

5:53>> What about the 200 in prepaid delivery

5:55fees I gave you? You should refund it.

5:56We all work hard for our money.

5:58>> Don't scam me.

5:59>> Lee and the others spread rumors faster

6:00than I could deliver orders.

6:01>> I refunded it. Have a nice day.

6:03>> Where's Joe Shun? Tell him to get back

6:04here.

6:04>> Mom, Dad, why are you here?

6:06>> If we hadn't come, were you planning to

6:08ruin the entire family's reputation?

6:10>> Joe Shun, your brother's getting married

6:11next month.

6:12>> Are you really not paying a cent toward

6:13the bride price or down payment?

6:15>> Well, I'm bankrupt. I owe 300 grand.

6:17>> Bankrupt? That's your own fault.

6:19>> We didn't raise you so you could rack up

6:20debt.

6:21>> Your brother's future will not be ruined

6:22by a useless failure like you.

6:23>> Dad, what about my future? I can barely

6:25afford next month's rent. You came here

6:26and didn't even ask if I had food. You

6:28only asked about his wedding money. What

6:30future does a delivery driver have?

6:31>> Your brother's different. He'll work in

6:33an office someday. Your failure is your

6:34problem. It can't interfere with his

6:36marriage or his happiness.

6:37>> So, I'm just supposed to suffer?

6:38>> You're the older brother. What's wrong

6:40with sacrificing a little? I don't care

6:42how you do it. You need to come up with

6:43150 grand by next week. If someone else

6:45buys the house your brother wants,

6:47you'll answer to me.

6:48>> I don't have it.

6:49>> What did you say?

6:50>> I said I don't have the money.

6:51>> Forget 150 grand. I don't even have 15

6:53bucks.

6:54>> If you want money, tell my brother to

6:55unblock me. Ask whether he can return

6:57the 3 grand he took from me last month.

6:58>> You have the nerve to mention your

6:59brother? He blocked you so you wouldn't

7:01drag him down. He did the right thing.

7:03>> In this family, I'm nothing but a tool.

7:04Someone you can sacrifice to fund my

7:06brother's comfortable life.

7:07>> Joe Shun, this is your final warning.

7:09Give up this dump tomorrow and move into

7:10the station dorm. Every month after your

7:12bank payment, send the rest home. You

7:14need to help pay your brother's mortgage

7:15for 10 years.

7:16>> Why should I?

7:17>> Because we gave you life.

7:18>> And if I refuse?

7:19>> Then go cause a scene.

7:19>> Now get out. I rent this place and

7:21you're not welcome here.

7:22>> You you ungrateful bastard.

7:23>> Fine, we're leaving.

7:24>> Don't ever come back to this family.

7:25>> Are you okay?

7:26>> I'm fine. I've never felt clearer.

7:28>> Thank you, honey. Without you, I might

7:30never have seen who they really are.

7:31>> It's not over yet. There's one last

7:33guest coming tonight.

7:33>> Joe Shun, are you okay? I saw your post

7:35and nearly had a heart attack. Your

7:37phone was busy, so I rushed over right

7:38after work.

7:39>> Wait, sit down. Sorry about the mess.

7:40>> Shun, what happened? You owe 300

7:42Yeah,

7:43>> [music]

7:43>> payments start next month. Man, what are

7:44you going to do? How much cash do you

7:46have left? Can you make it through the

7:47next few months? Nothing. I refunded my

7:49last 200 to a customer today. I can't

7:51even afford food next month. I see.

7:53Could your wife's family help at all?

7:54You know her family. We're lucky they

7:56don't ask us for money. So, you're

7:57completely broke and delivery work is

7:58your only income? That's right. I have

8:00nothing. All right then, let's be

8:01honest. Since you're already this far

8:03down, let's settle an old debt. Wait, I

8:04paid you back 2 years ago. The transfer

8:06record should still be there. Paid me?

8:08Where's the proof? Show me. I checked my

8:10bank records and I never got that 5

8:11grand. Wait, we've been friends for 20

8:13years. You're demanding a fake $5,000

8:15debt from me now? Friendship doesn't pay

8:16bills. I came here to cut ties. Sign an

8:19IOU for the 5 grand today or tomorrow

8:20I'll tell everyone you refuse to repay

8:22your debts. Fine, I'll write it. Take

8:23it. Don't blame me for being harsh,

8:24Shun. Blame yourself for being reckless.

8:26If we pass each other on the street,

8:27pretend you don't know me. You see

8:29everything clearly now? I do. All of it.

8:32My brother blocked me. My co-worker

8:34stole my orders and spread rumors. My

8:36parents demanded I keep supporting my

8:37brother no matter what.

8:39My childhood friend tried to scam me.

8:42if I'd revealed the 90 million

8:43yesterday, where would I be now? You'd

8:45be their ATM. They drain your money

8:47under every excuse then throw you back

8:48into this apartment. By then, you

8:49wouldn't even have the strength to

8:50deliver food.

8:52Thank god for you, honey. From now on,

8:54you're all I have. Oh, you also have 90

8:55million. That's your real security.

8:57Right, I have 90 million. Do I still go

8:58deliver food tomorrow? Yes, why wouldn't

9:00you? And work harder than anyone. Let

9:02them watch you struggle at rock bottom.

9:03Okay, they want to see me miserable so

9:05I'll give them a show. Once the 300

9:07grand debt is mostly paid off, that's

9:08when our real life begins. Hello, who is

9:10this? Say something. Those calls aren't

9:12random. Wait, something's wrong. Normal

9:13spam callers don't do this. No talking,

9:15no sales pitch, just keeping the line

9:17open. They're not bored. Then what are

9:18they testing? Whether you're awake all

9:20night, whether you're really buried in

9:21debt. When did that car start parking

9:23there? The night you announced your

9:24bankruptcy. It's been there ever since.

9:26You noticed it that long ago? Yeah, and

9:28it's not just the car. People have been

9:29asking around about you. Asking [music]

9:31what? How long you work every day, how

9:33much you make, which floor you live on,

9:34and what time you turn off the lights.

9:36Who is it? I'm just a broke delivery

9:37driver who owes 300 grand. Why would

9:39anyone watch me? I haven't been sitting

9:40around. I recorded every unknown call,

9:43saved every suspicious text and question

9:44from strangers, and logged when the car

9:46arrived and how long it stayed. I even

9:48pulled the building security footage.

9:49You You knew something would happen? I

9:51didn't know. It's common sense.

9:5390 million is enough to make ordinary

9:55people lose their morals and take

9:56desperate risks. You thought only your

9:58friends and family were greedy. The

10:00truth is, someone in the shadows has

10:01watched you since the moment you won.

10:03So, these tests aren't coming from my

10:04parents? They don't have the brains or

10:06patience. Whoever's behind this knows

10:08how to wait for the perfect moment and

10:09take everything. What do we do? We check

10:11for leaks. First, we uncover every

10:12hidden risk around you. Check whatever

10:13you need. I'll cooperate. First, your

10:15credit report and loan history.

10:16Impossible. I've never defaulted on a

10:17loan. See this?

10:18>> [music]

10:19>> This is the biggest threat hiding behind

10:20you. Who is it? Who used my identity to

10:22borrow money? Think.

10:24Who's had copies of your ID and known

10:25all your personal information for the

10:26past 2 years? Joe Tian. Look at the

10:29default dates. They line up exactly with

10:31your fake bankruptcy post.

10:33He planned it. Before, you were the

10:35reliable family breadwinner. So, he

10:36didn't dare dump the mess on you. Now,

10:38everyone thinks your investment

10:39collapsed. Nobody will suspect the

10:41clean-cut college graduate. So, he

10:43blocked me to cut ties, not because he

10:44feared being dragged down. He wanted a

10:46clean escape while dumping every bit of

10:47blame on you. How could he do that? I'm

10:49his brother. I've done everything for

10:50him. He knows you're honest and

10:52soft-hearted. He assumed that even if

10:53you found out, you'd protect him because

10:55he's family. I'll remember this. Stay

10:57calm. The outsiders after your jackpot

10:58are still waiting in the dark to close

11:00their trap. Who are these people in the

11:01shadows? The owner of the lottery store

11:03I always use. And he's calling right on

11:04cue. Joe, I heard what happened. Such a

11:06shame. They say you've been taking

11:08terrible routes every day and barely

11:09getting by. If you need anything, tell

11:11me.

11:11I'll help however I can. We've known

11:13each other a long time. What do I say?

11:15Play along. Follow his lead. Yeah, my

11:17luck's been terrible. I lost all my

11:19savings, took on a mountain of debt, and

11:20now I just have to keep working. You've

11:21really been through it. I still remember

11:23you buying lottery tickets at my shop

11:24late that night. Everything seemed fine.

11:26Who knew your life would change so fast?

11:28He's checking whether you bought that

11:29ticket and whether you won. Don't remind

11:31me. Nothing's gone right lately.

11:32Everything I touch loses money. Everyone

11:34hits a low point. You'll get through it.

11:36By the way, did any of those tickets win

11:38a small prize to help with expenses?

11:40Keep playing dumb. I didn't really

11:41check.

11:42>> [music]

11:42>> I've been too stressed to think about

11:43lottery tickets. They probably lost or I

11:45wouldn't be living like this. Don't give

11:47up. Maybe your luck's still coming. I

11:48was just asking. But if you ever win

11:50big, don't claim it through the official

11:51process. Why not? Isn't that how you're

11:53supposed to claim it? You don't

11:55understand how this works.

11:56Official claims get taxed, require your

11:58personal information, and create a

12:00public record. With your debt, everyone

12:02would come after you.

12:03>> [music]

12:03>> You wouldn't keep a cent and they'd

12:04never leave you alone. If you ever win

12:06big, I can handle it privately.

12:07>> [music]

12:07>> The money goes safely into your pocket

12:09and nobody can trace it. You can do

12:10that? Is it safe? I won't get in

12:12trouble? Completely safe. I've done it

12:13for plenty of long-time customers. If

12:15that ticket won anything, bring it

12:16straight to me. I'll save you a fortune

12:17in taxes and keep everything secret. His

12:19private claim, tax savings, and secrecy

12:21are all a scam. What do you mean?

12:22Private claiming is illegal. Once he has

12:24your ticket and claim authorization,

12:25he'll change the information and steal

12:27the entire prize. Then he'll claim the

12:29ticket was invalid or never won. With no

12:31official record, you can't prove

12:32anything. Worse, he'll blame every crime

12:34and risk on you. He already knows I won,

12:36doesn't he? Yes, for over 10 days he's

12:38acted quiet while watching from the

12:39shadows. If they want to play games,

12:40I'll play all the way to the end. Joe

12:42Shuen owes us 280 grand. He pays today.

12:44Let me see the IOU. That's not my

12:45handwriting. Your name is right there in

12:46black and white. You owe money and now

12:48you're denying it? I knew you'd cause a

12:49disaster someday. Hundreds of thousands

12:51in debt. Were you determined to

12:53humiliate your parents completely? You

12:54made this mess, so deal with it. Don't

12:56drag the family and we won't pay one

12:57cent for you. Mom, this debt has nothing

12:59to do with me. Young man, your brother

13:01looks so honest. [music] Why are you the

13:02one buried in debt and causing all this

13:04trouble? I warned my brother so many

13:05times to stop wasting money and live

13:06responsibly.

13:08He never listened.

13:09Now that this happened, there's nothing

13:10I can do. He looked honest. I never knew

13:12he owed so much. So unreliable, he

13:14embarrassed his parents. Even his honest

13:15younger brother got dragged into it.

13:16What a disgrace. Hear that? Even your

13:18own brother admits this is your fault.

13:20Start raising the money. Everyone give

13:21me 3 minutes. I have evidence proving

13:22everything. Why wave around a pile of

13:24garbage? You think you can twist the

13:25truth? We're not the ones twisting it.

13:27The loan is registered under Joe Shun's

13:29name, but every facial verification,

13:30payment account, and spending record

13:31belongs to Joe Tian. Screenshots are

13:33easy to fake. Who knows where you found

13:35those pictures? Then listen to this.

13:37Using my brother's name is safest. He

13:38never checks. Once everything defaults,

13:40he'll take all the blame for me. That

13:42recording is fake. Don't believe him. On

13:43the left is the forged IOU. On the right

13:45are samples of Joe Tian's handwriting,

13:47along with an expert analysis. The

13:49imitation is obvious. The evidence is

13:50conclusive. Are you still denying it?

13:53Every month you lived comfortably on the

13:54three grand Joe Shun sent you.

13:55Meanwhile, you secretly destroyed his

13:56credit. Once the debt defaulted, you

13:58planned to dump everything on him. Even

14:00if Tian made a mistake, this is a family

14:02matter. What's wrong with his older

14:03brother helping with some of it? Joe

14:05Shun delivered food 14 hours a day,

14:07eating plain bread so he could support

14:08his brother. He's already done far more

14:10than enough. Brothers shouldn't divide

14:11everything so clearly. These parents are

14:13unbelievably biased. They only protect

14:15the younger one. That's so unfair. Huh,

14:17nobody leaves until this is settled.

14:19Whenever you needed money, I gave

14:20whatever I could. I always thought

14:21family shouldn't keep score, but I will

14:23not repay a cent of this debt. Joe Tian

14:25will handle all of it himself. You're

14:26really going to be this heartless? When

14:27you carefully plotted against me, did

14:29you ever think about showing me mercy?

14:31From now on, I won't send money home

14:32every month. You have retirement

14:34savings, and nobody will ever ask me to

14:35pay for Joe Tian's house or wedding

14:36again. You're cutting off your family

14:38over something this small? I'm not

14:39cutting off family. I'm refusing to

14:41sacrifice myself endlessly for other

14:42people. Without you, I never could have

14:44cleared my name today. Now that your

14:45family is handled, it's time to deal

14:47with everyone at the station who

14:48mistreated you. What's your plan? I've

14:50collected evidence for two weeks. You

14:51can submit an official complaint right

14:52now. Hello. We've received all of your

14:54evidence and confirmed every violation.

14:56We've also reviewed the station's

14:57internal records. The ruling will take

14:59effect immediately. Manager Liu Yang is

15:00removed from management, loses his

15:02annual performance bonus, and will be

15:04placed on the local delivery industry's

15:05blacklist. Shun, I said things I

15:07shouldn't have and treated you badly.

15:08Can you withdraw the complaint? I swear

15:10I'll never do it again. I used to try to

15:11please everyone and protect their

15:12feelings. All it got me was manipulation

15:14and slander. You don't have to please

15:16anyone anymore. We protect what we have

15:17and live a peaceful life. There's still

15:19the lottery store owner. We'll deal with

15:20him carefully. I'll never let anyone

15:22control again. The strangers who came by

15:24in the car downstairs weren't connected

15:25to Joe Tian. They came from the lottery

15:27store owner. How did you connect them? I

15:28was careful from the night you won and

15:30recorded everything. Then I found the

15:31driver of that car meets the store owner

15:33every week to report and settle up. What

15:34does he want? Why go through so much

15:36trouble to mess with me? Large lottery

15:37prizes have a claim deadline. If he

15:39delays you [music] until it expires, the

15:40ticket becomes worthless and the money

15:42goes back into the public fund. Then he

15:43can produce a copied receipt and claim

15:45you transferred the right to collect the

15:46prize. He walks away with everything.

15:48This plan is too detailed to be

15:49spontaneous. He's been preparing for a

15:51long time. It's a routine he's used for

15:52years targeting working class people. A

15:54lot of people have been scammed this

15:55way. No wonder he pretended to care and

15:57pushed me toward a private claim.

15:59He had two options. Steal the ticket

16:00directly or create a dispute until the

16:02ticket expired. No need to guess, your

16:03parents are [music] back. You caused

16:05such a scene today that the whole

16:06neighborhood is talking. How are you

16:07planning to clean this up? I'm not the

16:09one who needs to clean anything up. Tian

16:10was wrong to borrow money in your name,

16:11but he's your brother. Publicly

16:13destroying him won't help anyone. He put

16:14280 grand of debt on me and you want me

16:16to let it go? Brothers shouldn't hold

16:17grudges. Tian's future matters. Let's

16:19discuss this privately. Just accept the

16:21loss and move on. Accept the loss? You

16:23want me to repay his 280 grand and carry

16:25every financial loss and every false

16:26accusation alone? What else can we do?

16:28You're the oldest. You should take on

16:30more. Once Tian has a stable career and

16:31a bright future, he'll remember what you

16:33did for him. When he stole my identity,

16:35ruined my life, and watched the

16:36neighborhood shame me, why didn't he

16:37think about remembering my kindness? I

16:39was confused, okay? I promise I'll never

16:41do it again. If you keep pushing this,

16:43my entire life will be destroyed. When

16:45you deliberately plotted against me, did

16:46you ever think about what would happen

16:47to your life? Blood is thicker than

16:49water. Can't you forgive your own

16:50brother? He dumped 280 grand of fake

16:52debt on Joe Shuen. Joe Shuen is the one

16:54whose life was nearly destroyed. All

16:55you've ever cared about is Joe Tian's

16:56future. Joe Shuen is just a delivery

16:58driver.

16:59He's used to suffering and can survive a

17:00few more years. Tian is different. He

17:02can't afford to lose his future. For

17:04years I worked from dawn to night, sent

17:06money home every month, and denied

17:07myself everything to pay Joe Tian's

17:08expenses. To you, none of it meant

17:10anything. Your parents raised you.

17:12Taking responsibility is the least you

17:14owe us. I've repaid that debt many times

17:15over for more than 10 years. That

17:17doesn't mean I must sacrifice everything

17:18I own to build someone else's life. I

17:20know I was wrong, but I can't come up

17:21with 280 grand. You're the only one who

17:23can help me. When you were spending

17:24recklessly, why didn't you think about

17:26how you'd repay it? Fine, we can't argue

17:28with you, but this is not over. In just

17:29a few days I saw everyone's true face. A

17:31criminal group tried to create a dispute

17:33until my ticket expired. My parents

17:35tried to force me to carry Joe Tian's

17:36debt and sacrifice my future for his.

17:38But we have complete evidence, and that

17:40gives us the upper hand. From now on, no

17:42one will ever use family, rumors, or

17:43schemes to take away what's ours. Xun,

17:45let's settle this in front of everyone.

17:47Tian is young and made a mistake. As his

17:49older brother, you can't destroy him.

17:50Pay the 280 grand and let this end.

17:52We're all family. A public fight

17:54embarrasses everyone. Bro, if you take

17:56the 280 grand debt, you'll get a share

17:58when mom's old house is redeveloped.

17:59Besides, you already make monthly bank

18:01payments. Helping me with a little more

18:02isn't a big deal. Exactly, Xun. You need

18:05to focus on paying your own debt, not

18:06reporting us. Otherwise, your job will

18:08only get harder. Then how will you repay

18:09anything? Joe Xun, listen to me. Admit

18:12fault and take the debt. It's not a big

18:13deal. Once things calm down, you can go

18:15right back to making deliveries. Xun,

18:17just accept it. The collectors even know

18:18where you live. If you don't repay Joe

18:20Tian's debt, do you think they'll leave

18:21you alone? Are you done? If you're done,

18:23it's my turn. You were all certain I was

18:24buried in debt and completely broke. You

18:26thought my life was over and you could

18:27control me however you wanted. Now I'll

18:29tell all of you the truth. I'm not

18:30bankrupt. [music] I'm not in debt. Being

18:32penniless was all an act. I won the

18:34lottery jackpot. The prize was 92

18:36million.

18:36>> Xun, what did you say? 90 million?

18:38>> I pretended to be bankrupt, not because

18:40I was desperate, but because I wanted to

18:41see what the people I'd loved, trusted,

18:43and sacrificed for would do [music] when

18:45they thought I'd hit rock bottom. Now I

18:47see every ugly face clearly. My own

18:49brother used my identity to borrow

18:50money, wasted it, framed me, and waited

18:52for me to clean up the mess and take the

18:53blame. My own parents favored their

18:55younger son so completely that they were

18:57willing to force me to carry his debt

18:58and sacrifice myself.

19:00My coworkers benefited from my help for

19:02years, then kicked me while I was down,

19:04stole my customers, and pushed [music]

19:05me out. My childhood friend threw away

19:0720 years of friendship and tried to scam

19:08money from me. And you, you've spent

19:10years targeting working-class lottery

19:12winners and stealing their prizes.

19:13>> Oh, my wonderful son. Why didn't you

19:15tell us sooner? Mom misunderstood you. I

19:17was confused. I was wrong. You're so

19:19successful winning such a huge prize.

19:21Houses, cars, helping your brother.

19:23Those are tiny things now. Mom is sorry.

19:25>> Bro, I finally understand how wrong I

19:27was. I lost my mind. Please be the

19:29bigger person and forgive me. From now

19:31on, I'll listen to you and treat you

19:32well. Shun, I know I was wrong. I was

19:34jealous and stole your orders. I

19:35sincerely apologize. Please forgive me

19:37and let me come back to work.

19:39>> Yeah, son. We've worked together for so

19:40long.

19:41>> That friendship still means something.

19:42I'll work hard and never push you out

19:43again.

19:44>> Shun, I'm sorry. I threw away 20 years

19:46of friendship because I got greedy. Give

19:47me one more chance.

19:48>> Come on, I was only joking. Don't take

19:50it seriously. I'm happy you won.

19:51>> No apologies. No begging. I've already

19:53seen exactly who all of you are. There's

19:54no reason to keep pretending.

19:56>> Son, people make mistakes and change.

19:58>> From now on, our family can live happily

19:59and help each other. Wouldn't that be

20:01wonderful?

20:02>> Family, when I was publicly humiliated

20:04and couldn't defend myself, none of you

20:05treated me like family. When my brother

20:07betrayed me and buried me under fake

20:08debt, none of you cared. When my

20:10co-workers isolated me, my boss crushed

20:12me, and my friend of 20 years scammed

20:14me, every one of you mocked me. Now that

20:16you know I'm rich, you suddenly remember

20:17we're family? Too late.

20:18>> Bro, I've really changed. I'll treat you

20:20well from now on. Don't be so cruel.

20:22>> I'm cruel?

20:23When you framed me and destroyed my

20:24reputation and future, did you ever

20:26think about how cruel you were? No

20:27matter what, your mother and I gave you

20:29life and raised you. You get rich and

20:31abandon your family? How can you live

20:32with yourself? For over 10 years, I

20:34repaid that debt by working from dawn to

20:36night, denying myself everything, and

20:38supporting this family. I've paid it

20:39back many times over. You're the ones

20:41who owe me.

20:42Starting today, I won't give this family

20:44another cent or pay for your greed.

20:46>> What does that mean? You won't support

20:47us in retirement? You won't help your

20:48brother's marriage or career?

20:50>> That's ungrateful.

20:51>> Respecting your parents doesn't mean

20:52endless sacrifice or excusing

20:53wrongdoing.

20:54You encouraged my brother's mistakes and

20:56expected me to suffer the consequences.

20:58That's not family, and it isn't fair.

21:00Starting today, I'm cutting all ties

21:01with the Joe family.

21:02>> I've submitted all the evidence to the

21:04authorities. Every one of you will face

21:05the consequences.

21:06>> Is everything handled?

21:07>> Yeah, it's finally clean. No more

21:09burdens, no more emotional drain.

21:11>> Aren't you afraid people will call you

21:12cold-hearted?

21:13>> I was never the cold-hearted one. They

21:15used my kindness, crushed my dignity,

21:17and plotted against my life. I simply

21:19stopped the damage and protected the

21:20peaceful life we deserve. I used to be

21:22so foolish, always trying to please and

21:23forgive everyone.

21:25In the end, I only hurt myself and you.

21:27From now on, my life is for us.

21:30You lived with me in that leaky

21:31apartment, endured every hardship, and

21:32suffered so much.

21:34You stayed through my darkest days and

21:35protected my secret. Now it's my turn to

21:37give you everything you want.

21:38>> I never wanted luxury. I just want peace

21:40and freedom. No begging for approval, no

21:42exhausting myself just to survive.

21:44That's enough.

21:45I remember you always wanted your own

21:46independent studio where you could do

21:48what you love without answering to a

21:49boss. I already bought a storefront

21:51downtown and arranged the renovation

21:52exactly the way you like it. You won't

21:54have to work nights or take side jobs

21:55anymore.

21:56Just follow your passion and live

21:58freely.

21:59I'll face every storm for you and give

22:00you all the love I have.

22:02You helped me rise from rock bottom.

22:04Now we'll spend the rest of our lives in

22:05peace.

22:06It was all worth it.
