“I sold myself to Northern Myanmar.
On the first day I arrived, I voluntarily handed over one million yuan as a fee for surrendering and successfully joined the front – line team.
People say this place is a living hell, but every day when I open my eyes, I happily go to commit fraud.
They all say I’m crazy, but I know exactly what I want.
1
People crowded around me. Mr. Bai was also standing next to me, staring intently at the computer screen. Almost everyone held their breath.
I sat in front of the computer, calmly looking at the chat box without replying. The person on the other side seemed very anxious, and the indicator ‘the other is typing’ kept showing.
Brother Xi, who was beside me, got a bit impatient and couldn’t help but urge, “Xu Wan, what are you doing? Hurry up and send a message to urge him.”
I didn’t say anything and just sat steadily, pretending not to hear. Brother Xi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Mr. Bai.
I stared at the dialog box for a long time. Finally, when it was almost six o’clock, the person on the other side couldn’t hold back. Because I had told him that six o’clock was my off – work time, and bets would start punctually at eight o’clock tonight.
“Little Xu, please help me place a bet.”
Along with a ding sound, the person on the other side had already transferred four million yuan to the bank card account I sent him. The people around me suddenly became excited and cheered. Mr. Bai looked at me with admiration, then patted me on the shoulder.
“Xu Wan, you’re really a natural talent. We’ll give out bonuses tonight and have a good celebration for you.”
His action made me shiver reflexively, but Mr. Bai didn’t care. Instead, he gave me a deep look and immediately directed his men to withdraw the money within ten minutes.
This money would be quickly withdrawn from banks all over the country without any mistakes.
This was one of the reasons why I chose to come here.
Mr. Bai was the boss of this park. He was about thirty years old and had an elegant appearance. But those who really knew him would know that Mr. Bai’s terror was well – known throughout Northern Myanmar. No one dared to go against him.
“Not bad,” Brother Xi said, looking at me in disbelief. I didn’t speak, but lifted my foot to show him my shackles.
He smiled and slapped me on the head. “Good boy, you look delicate and fair like a girl, but you’re quite capable.”
But he still took out the key and unlocked my shackles. This was also my request. After completing this order, remove my shackles.
There were people sitting densely all around. They all sat in front of the computers with numb expressions, their feet still chained, and their ankles were rubbed until they bled. I felt the envious glances around me, but I didn’t feel much and continued to work.
The person with the worst performance in our group peeked at me and was immediately kicked to the ground by Brother Xi. He fell to the ground with the chair, but his feet were still chained, and blood was immediately drawn.
“Brother Xi, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I beg you!”
But he immediately got up and knelt down, grabbing Brother Xi’s shoes and kowtowing frantically to beg for mercy. But Brother Xi directly took the keyboard and smashed it on his head. Blood flowed instantly, and then he was dragged to the slaughterhouse.
I had passed by there. It was a large, dark warehouse filled with terrifying torture tools for punishment, and the miserable wails of people.
I saw with my own eyes a man having his eyes gouged out with a red – hot iron rod, his tendons in his hands cut one by one, his nose cut off, and then he was put into a dung bucket and fed to the dogs.
There were many fierce wolf dogs raised in the backyard. The ‘piglets’ from the slaughterhouse were fed to these dogs.
So when Brother Xi said he was sending him to the slaughterhouse, I knew this person was done for. But the people here, after being squeezed out of their last bit of value, were no different from pigs and dogs. I was already used to it.
I could only get twenty thousand yuan for this performance. When that stack of RMB was thrown at me, I didn’t feel much in my heart, but I still showed a look of joy and gratitude, thanking the boss profusely.
Because here, being without desires or demands was an alternative. People without handles or desires were too risky.
At the celebration banquet in the evening, I was publicly praised by Mr. Bai. Some of the people below were missing an eye, some were missing a finger. Even those who were not disabled were covered with beating scars, but they were all cheering.
I was different. After coming here for a month, I still had all my limbs intact and hadn’t even been slapped once because I was the top – performing ace fraudster here.
I stood in the yard looking at the stars. Mr. Bai came over. He was very surprised that someone could have the mood to look at the stars here. Accompanied by the occasional shrill screams from the backyard, he asked me.
“Xu Wan, why did you come here?”
“Boss, I want to make a lot of money,” I replied sincerely, giving the same answer as always.
Mr. Bai was satisfied with this answer, but the next second, a cold gun muzzle was pointed at my temple.
“Xu Wan, I don’t like being deceived,” he said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and he stared at me coldly.
2
He rarely smiled. Once he did, it meant someone was going to be unlucky.
So I confessed honestly and didn’t plan to hide it from him. “I killed someone. Staying in the country would only land me in prison. I want to make money and also want to be alive to spend it.”
I knew that on the first day I stepped into this park, I had been thoroughly investigated. He knew everything about my background.
I felt the gun on my head being taken away. Mr. Bai wiped the gun with a handkerchief and said to me, “Xu Wan, work hard.”
I carefully wiped the sweat from my forehead, glad that I had survived another day. After coming here, my goal every day was to live one more day because it was already very difficult to be alive.
Fireworks bloomed over the park. This was a celebration for the four million. One shot was for five hundred thousand. As long as an order was made, fireworks would be set off. The fireworks shone brightly in my eyes.
In the darkness, my eyes were extremely firm.
I rejected the two – day leave that Mr. Bai gave me. Usually, when a big order was made, the park would humanely give a vacation and take people to go shopping on the street. But I didn’t want to go anywhere and just sat in front of the computer and continued to work.
My only request was that I would choose the next fraud target. Everything was under surveillance, and I had no way to do any tricks. They of course agreed.
I entered the numbers that I had almost memorized by heart on the computer, and then a passionate anime avatar popped up. The nickname was “Slaughtering Celestial Venerable”.
Brother Xi came over and frowned. “Anime fan? This is the fraud target you found? Don’t you know that people with anime avatars are usually poor and picky?”
I smiled. “He’s different.”
I sent a friend request with the note “Call of Duty”. The other side almost added me instantly and sent me a message, “Who are you?”
“Didn’t you apply for the free skin of Call of Duty?”
He replied that he didn’t. I didn’t say anything more. In the next few days, I painstakingly created my WeChat Moments, which were all about game benefits. I also posted many screenshots of giving skins or cash – back transfers to fans who liked my posts.
Five days later, Slaughtering Celestial Venerable liked my Moments. I smiled slightly. The fish had taken the bait.
I created the image of a young girl starting a business and giving back to her fans. I sincerely wrote about my childhood gaming experiences and decided to create a group to hold random lucky draws.
Sure enough, at night, Slaughtering Celestial Venerable joined the group. There were a total of 40 people in the group, 38 of which were our internal accounts, and the remaining one was me and the other was him.
Mr. Bai sometimes watched me from upstairs, but apart from working, I didn’t do any tricks.
The moment I opened my eyes every day, I would pick up the work phone. I had a notebook filled with notes about the fraud targets I had made, which were very detailed.
While others were nervously and eagerly inducing gambling, I leisurely managed my Moments every day, occasionally sharing news about the latest skins in the small group, and pretending to be fans asking and answering questions.
After that, every day, Slaughtering Celestial Venerable liked my posts. A week later, a new skin was launched, and I privately messaged him.
“Baby, congratulations. You’re the last lucky fan today.”
He almost replied instantly. “Fuck, is it true?”
I deliberately said that the operator had left work today and couldn’t send the skin. I asked him to come to me tomorrow morning. Then I also posted the record of Slaughtering Celestial Venerable winning the lottery in my Moments with sincere words. He commented, “So lucky.”
The next morning at six o’clock, he messaged me on time. I had already woken up, but I didn’t send him the QR code until eight o’clock.
It was made by the technical department long ago. After scanning, it was the official interface of Call of Duty. It required him to authorize WeChat and then tell the verification code.
He sent the verification code without hesitation. Unfortunately, the link I sent had nothing to do with the game. It was a payment link. After the verification code was passed, I saw the long string of balance.
I sent him a screenshot of the claimed skin. He was surprised. “I didn’t receive it.”
Now it was my turn to be surprised. After verification, I told him that because of system lag, both his and my WeChat were frozen, and I asked him to find the customer service.
Of course, the customer service was me. Slaughtering Celestial Venerable came in a panic.
I said that to unfreeze, the ID card of the account owner was needed, and he had to re – invest the frozen amount. He hesitated for a long time, but finally did as I said.
After sending five hundred yuan, Slaughtering Celestial Venerable was very nervous and kept asking the customer service why it hadn’t come back yet. I told him that the amount was insufficient and hoped he could find a way.
At this time, some people’s chat records popped up in the group.
“Has everyone received the skin sent by sister?”
“Received it. I’ve already used it in the game. It’s so cool. Many people are envious. Thank you, sister.” With a game screenshot attached.
“I just received it. The system was unstable, and my WeChat was frozen. I even went to the customer service, but they compensated me with one thousand yuan. Hehe.”
The person who spoke was also me, with the nickname “Mission King”. Two minutes after sending the message, Slaughtering Celestial Venerable @Mission King in the group.
“Brother, mine was also frozen. Is the customer service reliable? What will happen if it’s not unfrozen?”
Mission King of course affirmed the customer service, emphasized the seriousness of the consequences, and told him that he could first use the money at home to make up for it, and there would be cash – back.
Slaughtering Celestial Venerable finally sent two thousand yuan to me, and I gave him the skin as promised and also gave him an extra five – hundred – yuan cash – back.
I would occasionally send red envelopes in the group, and every time the luckiest person was Slaughtering Celestial Venerable. He trusted me more and more, and I guided him step by step.
He told me that his mother was very busy in the court and hardly cared about him. I pretended to persuade him to reconcile but actually provoked him. His personality was originally irritable, and the more I persuaded, the more rebellious he became.
“That old witch. I think she’s just mean. She embezzled so much money but won’t give it to me.”
Yes, the old witch.
I suddenly remembered that after the court session that day, I squatted at the gate of the court covered in scars. Li Huixian walked out in a solemn judge’s uniform.
I rushed over and grabbed the hem of her clothes. “Aunt Judge, what they said is false. Please believe me. These scars on my body are evidence.”
Her face was cold and mixed with a bit of contempt. She told me that the trial was over.
“Your parents have already taken the money. Get out.”
And her son was walking forward while playing games. Because he was too engrossed, he tripped over me who was blocking the way. He was instantly angry and directly kicked me, calling me a slut and blaming me for making his skill not release.
I pulled back my thoughts, smiled, and sent a sighing emoji. In the following days, we almost talked about everything.
I pretended to be intimate with him, gave him many opportunities for cash – back and skin – giving, and told him not to show off in the group, otherwise everyone would say I was partial. He excitedly agreed.
Two weeks later, a limited – edition skin was launched. As expected, he came to me again.
3
I told him that for ten thousand yuan, he could get twenty thousand game vouchers, and for fifty thousand yuan, he could get one hundred thousand. And the guaranteed amount for this skin was fifty thousand yuan.
He was a bit hesitant. However, someone in the group had already posted a picture. “The new skin feels really good. I got it with thirty thousand game vouchers. I made a fortune.”
Under the temptation, he was tempted. Without thinking, he directly sent fifty thousand yuan. Brother Xi looked at me with admiration, but my goal was not this fifty – thousand – yuan.
This time, he didn’t get the cash – back. To unfreeze, he needed one hundred thousand yuan. The previous trust made him not have any doubts. He secretly transferred money from his mother’s bank card again.
Unfortunately, it was still frozen. He was extremely anxious. I told him that due to an operation error, his bank card was frozen. Then I guided him to send the bank card password and verification code. There was a full five million in it.
The technical department transferred the money to a large number of different accounts within one minute. At the same time, I told Slaughtering Celestial Venerable anxiously that because of the problem with his bank card, my account was also blocked, and I asked him to help unfreeze it, otherwise I would call the police.
He was completely panicked and kept begging me. Under my step – by – step guidance, he borrowed money from different platforms. The ones I recommended to him were all high – interest loans. Together with his relatives and friends, he borrowed a total of three million yuan and sent it all to me.
The huge amount alerted Mr. Bai. He calmly directed in the technical department, asking me to stabilize Slaughtering Celestial Venerable first. This was a very critical moment. One carelessness and the money would be directly frozen by the bank.
Slaughtering Celestial Venerable kept sending messages.
“Sister, I’ve transferred it. Is it okay?”
“My mother already knows and is calling me crazily. Hurry up.”
“You’re not a scammer, are you? Reply to me! Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”
I calmly replied, “If I’m a scammer, my whole family will die. There’s a system delay, and I haven’t received the money yet.”
As time passed minute by minute, when it was the ninth minute, Mr. Bai finally stopped directing, came over and put his arm around my shoulder, giving me an ok gesture.
“You can call the police,” I replied and then directly blocked him.
Brother Xi came over and took a look, giving me a thumbs – up. “Your oath is quite vicious.”
I smiled but didn’t speak. He didn’t know that my whole family was indeed dead.
He laughed , and the scar at the corner of his eye wrinkled together. The people around almost trembled with fear. Mr. Bai immediately threw me one hundred thousand yuan in cash and looked at me with great satisfaction.
“Xu Wan, I have a good eye.”
I grinned. This time, the performance was eight million and fifty thousand yuan, breaking the record for the first place in performance this year. The treatment for the first place was a luxury single room with a bathroom. I could even have two – day weekends every week.
As for the others, dozens of people crowded into a bungalow. The iron door was locked, and each person had a straw mat, sleeping on the ground in disorder. They were strictly guarded 24 hours a day. If someone exceeded the time limit for going to the toilet, they would not only be deducted money but also branded.
Branding meant using a red – hot iron to burn the face until the flesh was blurred, and then salt would be deliberately sprinkled on the wound. It was not only more painful but also almost always festered.
Everyone envied the first – place performance. When I happily walked towards the single room with my basin, the man I had pushed down stared at me with a venomous look, like a venomous snake.
Before I came, this man named Li Zixuan had always been the first. I heard that he used to be engaged in scientific research in China, a technical talent. What a pity.
When we passed by each other, Li Zixuan blocked my way, and a cold voice rang in my ear. “Xu Wan, guess who will go to hell first?”
“You want me to go to hell?” I shouted loudly. Li Zixuan’s face turned pale. Obviously, he didn’t expect me to say it in public.
Brother Xi, who was beside us, heard this and slapped him. Li Zixuan’s glasses were slapped askew, hanging on his ear, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He shrank in the corner, not daring to say anything more, while his fierce gaze, as if he wanted to swallow me alive, couldn’t be hidden.
I didn’t care at all. I even waved goodbye to him and then went to the single – room dormitory.
I asked Brother Xi to get me a pencil. He stared at me cautiously, for fear that I would do something strange. Before, someone hid a pen, trying to pick the lock and escape. After failing, they even stabbed one of the guards in the eye. So now, things like this were strictly monitored.
Right under his nose, I wrote several names, rolled them into small paper balls, and then returned the pencil to him. He looked at me suspiciously and finally reminded me. “Xu Wan, Mr. Bai values you very much. You’d better not have any other wrong ideas.”
I smiled non – committally. “This place is so good. It’s like heaven. Why would I want to run?”
After Brother Xi left, I didn’t hide from the surveillance. I directly lay on the bed, shook the paper balls in my hand, then spread them out, and randomly picked one to open. There was a name written on it.
“Su Yao”
Looking at that familiar name, I grinned happily. Finally, it’s your turn, Su Yao. I’m really looking forward to it. My whole heart is beating with excitement.
The next day, when I was having a meal, I unexpectedly found small broken nails in my food. They were very small, with the iron sheet ground up. I was immediately stabbed, and my mouth was full of blood.
Brother Xi came over, pinched my chin, and looked at it for a long time. Then he asked someone to pull out the broken nails from my mouth one by one. The pain was like having my bones picked, but I didn’t make a sound.
Although Brother Xi didn’t tell Mr. Bai, he still found out. He wouldn’t come to check how I was injured because if I became disabled, I would lose my value. Then Brother Xi would directly drag me to the slaughterhouse, torture me, and then sell my organs in the high seas.
Mr. Bai seemed to know everything. He directly took Li Zixuan to the office. I heard that Mr. Bai smiled.
Iron tools pried open Li Zixuan’s mouth, and then red – hot charcoal was stuffed in, followed by ice. This was repeated. Finally, many small needles were put in his mouth and even in his eyelids.
Throughout the day, the screams in the office resounded throughout the park. Everyone was shocked. Some people glanced at me timidly and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
I lay in the hospital for three days, spitting out blood foam for three days. In fact, I saw Li Zixuan putting something in the food, and many people who disliked me pretended not to see it, hoping to see me get punished.
However, after this, no one would dare to have any wrong ideas about me again.
As for Mr. Bai, he certainly wasn’t standing up for me. He was punishing those who questioned or went against his ideas, making an example of others. Li Zixuan was my “chicken” and also the “chicken” Mr. Bai needed.
My mouth was sewn up with more than a dozen stitches. During the days of rest, I even took the work phone and continued to prepare for the next scam. And in this world, there was no longer a person named Li Zixuan.
He had already gone to hell first.

I didn’t directly add Su Yao. Instead, I started posting in the study – abroad circle that she often paid attention to. I had prepared this account a long time ago. I didn’t update it often, and occasionally I would post a few photos of a comfortable life abroad.
When I was looking through Su Yao’s posts, I didn’t know when Mr. Bai appeared behind me.
“Is she the next target? She has a good figure, but she’s not pretty.”
In the photo, Su Yao was jogging by the sea with a ponytail, raising her head in the sun, full of vitality. Her figure was indeed curvy, but she had an ordinary face. Even retouched photos couldn’t save it.
I turned to look at Mr. Bai. “Doesn’t the entertainment department lack people recently? I’ll get her here.”
Mr. Bai looked at me with a half – smile and nodded. Brother Xi chimed in. “I’ll pick her up then.”
I saw him staring at Su Yao with his eyes wide open. This kind of woman was quite popular in the entertainment department. Although I had never been there, I knew the rules of the entertainment department.
The ugly ones were sold to the local low – class brothels. They had to receive at least dozens of customers every day, and they were treated and tortured in the most vulgar ways. When they were either played to death or got sick, they were sold to the high seas. Beautiful women were picked by some bosses. Although they only needed to serve one person and had better treatment, it still wouldn’t last long.
For someone like Su Yao, who was neither qualified to be a croupier nor would be picked by a big shot, I wasn’t worried at all.
Next, I posted a help – seeking post. “Looking for someone from Ancheng who can help me mail ten boxes of butter cakes from the south of the city. Since my family’s business needs to be managed abroad and I haven’t been back to China for a long time, I really miss the taste of my hometown. I’ll offer a large reward.”
Su Yao liked to eat the butter cakes from that store very much. I remembered it clearly because she often stepped on my head while eating the cakes, and the cake crumbs fell on my face.
“So, stepping on someone’s head feels so good, hahaha.” She was very happy, and the people around her cheered. The teachers and classmates passing by left indifferently, not even bothering to give a glance.
Returning from my thoughts, I relaxed my hand gripping the mouse. I saw that there were already many comments under the post, all asking to help me mail the cakes, but I didn’t see Su Yao yet.
I specially spent money to buy traffic to top the post. Su Yao would definitely see it. Sure enough, in the afternoon, I saw that Su Yao had viewed my profile. Ten minutes later, she sent me a private message.
I pretended not to see it and didn’t reply until the next day. “Sorry, I was too busy at the company and just saw it. Add me.”
As soon as I sent the number, she added me instantly. After passing the friend request, she even sent me an emoji.
My WeChat Moments was carefully created for Su Yao. I occasionally posted pictures of morning runs, occasional golfing, and occasional gliding. These were all the rich people’s lives that Su Yao yearned for the most.
Her dream was to marry a rich man, but her family was ordinary, and she couldn’t come into contact with this level. So she could only post many photos of energetic girls, inadvertently showing off her graceful figure.
Unfortunately, there were too many beautiful women on the Internet. For someone as ordinary – looking as her, she could only attract some vulgar men. So a self – disciplined and wealthy man was like poison to her.
I pretended to be both cold and gentle. We started chatting often. I occasionally revealed my luxurious life, simple yet high – end. We talked from poetry, songs, and prose to life philosophy. She became more and more attracted.
She pretended to be a cheerful and bright – looking person, and I catered to her. “There aren’t many girls like you. You’re very special, Yaoyao.”
“Sorry, is it okay to call you like this?”
She replied, “Of course it is, brother.” and then sent a shy emoji.
Especially after she mailed the special products, I directly transferred twenty thousand yuan to her. After she received it in shock, her attitude towards me became more flattering. She almost chatted with me every day, either sharing her daily life or asking me questions. And I would deliberately reply late, making her wait.
On Valentine’s Day, I transferred fifty – two thousand yuan to her. Although I didn’t confess, Su Yao already thought we were in a relationship. She started sending me photos of her doing yoga and taking a bath, full of seductive colors.
“Brother, I just finished doing yoga. I’m so tired.”
“Baby, is your company very busy today?whimpering, I just took a bath.”
Several people next to me would stare at the photos with wide eyes and then look at me in shock. I ignored them and just replied lightly, “Be good. I’m working.”
I wasn’t lying to her. My work was indeed her.
5
After chatting for two months, I invited her to play in Southeast Asia and said she could bring friends.
“My manor is very big. You can stay as long as you like.”
“Baby, you’re so nice.”
I handed over all the pick – up matters to Brother Xi. The park’s arrangements were proper. They transferred in Thailand and then flew to Northern Myanmar. I applied to Mr. Bai to go and witness it, and he naturally agreed.
I stood beside Brother Xi wearing a mask. Su Yao, holding the arms of two of her good sisters, came out of the airport cheerfully. Her hot shorts showed off her slender legs, attracting the attention of many men.
Seeing that familiar face, I felt like I had missed it for a long time. Of course, she didn’t recognize me. She came to us with a smiling face.
Brother Xi claimed to be sent by the boss to pick them up. He secretly winked at me, showing his approval. After all, three people came at once, and their figures were all top – notch.
Su Yao didn’t suspect at all and was still showing off to her little sisters. One of them flattered Su Yao. “Your boyfriend is so rich. I’m so envious.”
The other one looked around cautiously, wanting to say something but stopping several times. She was forcefully dragged into the car by Su Yao. I sat in the passenger seat and watched her in the rear – view mirror, talking animatedly about this relationship.
“We’re really destined. I’m so happy.”
I couldn’t help but find it funny. Brother Xi even laughed out loud. “What a naive girl. So cute, haha.”
This address was actually quite rude. I saw a slight anger on Su Yao’s face. “How do you talk? Believe it or not, I’ll ask my boyfriend to fire you.”
“Ah”
However, the next second, Su Yao was slapped hard in the face. She stared at Brother Xi in disbelief, and the two girls beside her were completely dumbfounded.
“You talk too much. Tape their mouths shut.”
Soon their mouths were taped shut. They probably realized at this moment that they had fallen into a trap, but there were strong men around them, and they couldn’t run away at all.
There were continuous whimpers in the car. I took off my mask and turned around, grinning at Su Yao and the other two.
“Long time no see, Su Yao. I missed you so much, so I asked you to come.”
“Whimper!” She opened her eyes wide, looking like she had seen a ghost. Her face was full of shock and horror. I knew the two girls next to her. They had been Su Yao’s lackeys since middle school.
The one who liked to flatter was named Li Ya. To please Su Yao, she was always the first to come up with ways to torture me. And the one with a cautious and quiet personality was named Shen Shuangshuang. She would clean up the mess for Su Yao.
They were completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that she was tied up, Li Ya kept struggling in her seat, even trying to hit the car window with her head. Brother Xi was so annoyed that he waved his hand, signaling his men to deal with it.
Two strong men then pulled off her skirt and rushed at her. The car suddenly became chaotic. Su Yao and the remaining Shen Shuang hardly dared to move, their expressions full of shock.
When we arrived at the park, Li Ya’s body was covered with patches of bruises and red marks. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were like dead fish, staring straight at the air.
She was lifted up and thrown out of the car. Fourth Sister from the entertainment department came out to pick them up. She casually glanced at Li Ya, who was like a dead fish. “This one is still useful. Send her to the low – class brothel to receive customers. Watch out and don’t kill her too quickly.”
She was the supervisor here and also Mr. Bai’s fourth concubine. Although she was a woman, she was very capable and even more ruthless than many men.
She had been by Mr. Bai’s side for four years, and the people below respectfully called her Fourth Sister.
After saying that, two men came over and dragged her away on the ground. When she left, a bloodstain was left on the ground, which was shocking to see.
Su Yao and Shen Shuangshuang were left collapse on the ground, both in tears, waiting in horror for their unknown fate.
Both of them were sent to the entertainment department. Before leaving, I personally went to remove the tape from Su Yao’s mouth. Looking at the fear and hatred in her eyes, I smiled happily.
“Welcome to Northern Myanmar, little princess. I said back then that I’d be waiting for you in hell.”
My voice was low. Su Yao’s tears flowed out again.
“Xu Wan, you devil! I was right. You’re a pervert. Why didn’t the fire in your house burn you to death! I’ll kill you, kill you… Ah!”
She tried to reach out and grab my foot but missed. Because Fourth Sister had already grabbed her hair and lifted her up, slapping her a few times.
“Bitch, you still dare to shout here. Lock these two in Room 2 and replace Qingqing’s shift to learn the rules.”
Shen Shuangshuang immediately pushed Su Yao away, knelt down, and crawled in front of Fourth Sister, looking very obedient. “Sister, I’m different from her. I’ll listen to you. I can do anything. I’ll seriously learn whatever you teach me. Sister, let me follow you. Just consider me as a dog.”
Shen Shuangshuang was really smart. In such a situation, she could immediately find a way out for herself. Fourth Sister probably rarely saw such an obedient newbie, which was in sharp contrast to Su Yao’s crazy and unrestrained behavior.
“Not bad, girl. As long as you’re obedient, you can make a lot of money here.”
Su Yao scolded Shen Shuangshuang for being shameless, but she was soon dragged away.
I watched her figure gradually disappear into the darkness, accompanied by shrill screams. I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. I gave the bonus I earned to Brother Xi and asked him to tell me news about Su Yao.
He weighed the money, gave me a meaningful look. “Xu Wan, you seem to have quite a big grudge, ha ha ha.”
I grinned and went back to my room. I unfolded those paper balls one by one, tore the names of Su Yao and Li Huixian into pieces little by little, and then put them in my mouth and swallowed them.
I randomly took out one of the remaining two paper balls and opened it. On it was written – Jiang Ming’en.
I stared at those three characters for a long time, and finally laughed out loud, laughing until tears came out.
“My esteemed teacher, I’ve come to repay you.”

After arranging a destination for Su Yao, I returned to the computer to prepare for the next scheme. At this time, Mr. Bai suddenly called me to his office.
To be honest, I was nervous. I didn’t understand why he called me and was afraid that he had discovered something.
When I pushed the door open, Mr. Bai was standing in front of a Buddha statue in a Tang suit, devoutly putting his hands together. The room was filled with a strong smell of sandalwood, and the color was a bit dim.
Many fraud gangs are keen on worshipping Buddha. They do the most inhumane things in the world, yet they hold the most fervent hearts towards gods and Buddhas. It’s really hard to say what they are actually worshipping.
It’s ridiculous and terrifying.
Just like Jiang Ming’en. Every time after pressing my head in front of the mirror and doing those dirty and disgusting things, he would burn incense and worship Buddha.
There was always incense burning in his office all year round, and his body was also filled with the smell of sandalwood. When I smelled that familiar smell, my body couldn’t help but tremble. The fear from many years ago still lingered like a nightmare.
Mr. Bai finally turned around. He took out a stack of US dollars from the drawer and handed it to me, then motioned for me to sit down.
I took it consciously and sat down.
Mr. Bai wore a pair of gold – rimmed glasses, making him look extremely gentle and refined. People who didn’t know him might think he was a litterateur. But under the lenses, I clearly saw a trace of sharp coldness.
He suddenly raised his hand and pinched my chin. His fingers slid from my eyes across my cheeks and then stroked my collarbone. I tried my best to suppress the trembling in my heart.
“This face is really beautiful. If you were a woman…….”
As soon as he said this, I felt my hands and feet turn cold in an instant. I lowered my head and closed my eyes tightly.
Fortunately, he didn’t make any further moves but let go of me.
“Xu Wan, I’ve always been satisfied with your performance. I’m also very optimistic about you. But you’re different, different from everyone here. As far as I know, your house was burned down by a fire a year ago, and your parents died.”
“So, what do you want to earn money for?”
“I once knew an elder sister. I want to earn a lot of money to let her live a good life.”
“What’s her name?”
“Panpan, Li Panpan.” I looked up, staring straight into his eyes, saying each word clearly.
This time, Jiang Ming’en took the initiative to find me. I ignored him for two days before passing his friend request. The first thing I said was, “Two thousand. This is my rule.”
The well – known Master Wang wasn’t me but an oily man in the park’s expert department. He was originally a pig – butcher in the slaughterhouse. Mr. Bai made him a big internet – celebrity fortune – teller in short videos. Almost everyone who loved fortune – telling would come to him.
He was very accurate because he had the park’s database as support.
Before I started, Mr. Bai arranged everything. Buying traffic, creating groups, finding shills. Almost the whole circle knew that Master Wang was very accurate, and he was special, only calculating for those who were destined.
There were many chat screenshots of Master Wang on the Internet, all saying, “Hello, I don’t calculate for you.” Then there were a lot of wails, sighing about their bad luck.
Unfortunately, these chat records were all pre – made by us internally. Each group received tasks and then assigned them to various regions in the country.
I had long known that Jiang Ming’en paid special attention to this circle, had joined the group, and paid attention to it every day. Recently, the group was full of people showing off how unique and aloof Master Wang was. As expected, he took the bait.
After adding me, he directly transferred two thousand yuan and sent a message eagerly, “Master, can you help me fortune – tell?”
I replied, “Hello, I can.”
He was so excited that he directly took a photo of his left hand and sent it over. For reading palmistry, it’s left for men and right for women. Obviously, he knew this. After learning from Master Wang for a long time, I was also very skilled in these things, especially when facing him.
“You’re 41 years old this year, a teacher by profession, with a harmonious family and a 13 – year – old daughter.”
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s really so accurate. I’ve never met such a powerful master!”
He replied excitedly on the other side, but I sent another cold sentence.
“Your future was originally bright, but you’ve committed too many sins. Evil spirits are haunting you. You often have nightmares, right?”
“Yes.”
This simple word already showed his helplessness. I told him that there was a fierce ghost lingering on him. If this continued, yin energy would enter his body, and his life would be in danger. He was immediately shocked.
I invited a peace talisman for him, which cost ten thousand yuan. He transferred the money without thinking.
He wasn’t very wealthy. He lived a comfortable life relying on his wife’s family. And half of his money was spent on gods and Buddhas.
In the following days, I changed his fate online every day, and the cost each time was still two thousand yuan.
After a while, he told me that he slept soundly and kept thanking me.
I smiled. There was no such thing as changing fate. It was just that he bought peace of mind with money.
He trusted me even more. I told him, “Sincerity works. I only help those who are destined. Kneel and worship for forty – nine days, and then evil spirits won’t be able to get close to you in the future.”
I sent him a link and asked him to recite the content in it wholeheartedly.
As soon as the link was opened, the park’s technical hackers directly invaded his mobile phone. There was a folder in it, full of videos he took of students.
Most of these girls came from poor family backgrounds and had timid personalities. After being threatened by him, they could only keep silent. One of them jumped off a building, and two others dropped out of school after having abortions.
I copied those videos and sent them to the school, the police station, and everyone in his contact list.
Yes, I also sent a copy to his gentle wife and innocent daughter. I guessed they would be very “surprised” to see them.
I also asked for his verification code on the pretext of entering information. In the five minutes when he was concentrating on reciting the Buddhist scriptures, three million yuan in his card was withdrawn.
When the bank transfer message reached him, he had just finished reciting the scriptures. Presumably, his relatives and friends had all received the videos.
He started calling me frantically, sending a series of angry voice messages.
Mr. Bai casually made a gesture, and I directly blocked him.
Before blocking him, I said, “Jiang Ming’en, you may not remember me. I’m Xu Wan, teacher. Thank you for your teachings over the years. I wish you a rotten and stinky rest of your life.”
He didn’t have time to speak. I thought he must be as excited as I was at this moment. My heart was pounding, and I felt extremely excited.
During the day, the sky over Northern Myanmar was filled with continuous fireworks.
Mr. Bai held a celebration banquet for me in the evening and gave me a bonus of one hundred thousand yuan. I didn’t touch a single cent and sent it all to the entertainment department, to Fourth Sister.
She squinted her eyes and looked at me. “Xu Wan, you’re the first one to dare to blatantly give me money.”
I smiled. “Fourth Sister, I want to see Su Yao.”
She almost burst out laughing. “No way, are you reluctant?”
Finally, she still led me into the entertainment department. There were four floors in total. The top floor was where the most glamorous croupiers lived. They survived by their beauty and dealing cards.
The underground floor was the low – class brothel. There were more than twenty people in one room. The rooms were dense and hidden in the darkness, with gaudy lights flickering.
The middle two floors were the ordinary staff dormitories, all ten – person rooms. They could even wear nice clothes when working. Their main work, besides receiving customers, was more about nude chatting.
I followed Fourth Sister to a small room on the third floor. There was a strong smell of mildew. The wall outside had a layer of peeling paint. In the cold weather, the girls were heavily made – up and dressed scantily in the room, chatting with people on the computer.
I looked around but didn’t see Su Yao. Fourth Sister pointed to a woman in only underwear in the corner. I looked over and almost didn’t recognize her.
At this time, Su Yao was squatting on a stool with bare legs, her face painted like a ghost. She was chatting with a greasy bald man on the computer in a very disgusting tone, saying disgusting things.
Her legs were covered with scars, a mixture of purple and blue. Even the hand holding the phone was missing a little finger.
“This bitch was very noisy when she first came. She tried to run away several times and even injured a customer. After being disciplined, she became obedient.”
I heard Brother Xi mention her, licking his lips and saying she was very lively. But he still praised her figure. Later, I heard he went to her a couple of times, but then he thought she was dirty and stopped going.
Once upon a time, Su Yao was so ostentatious and delicate. Now she was in such a mess and humiliation. I was very happy to see her like this.
“She’s really dirty,” I said indifferently.
“Yes, she’s dirty,” Fourth Sister repeated, as if thinking about something. And I immediately pushed her a little.
“Fourth Sister, send her to the first floor underground. That place is more suitable for her. She’ll like it.”
Fourth Sister looked at me for a long time, then smiled as if chatting casually. “Shuangshuang also suggested this. You two really have a tacit understanding.”
After hearing this, although I was a bit puzzled, I quickly figured it out. After all, Shen Shuangshuang should hate Su Yao the most.
Among them, Su Yao was always the most arrogant and domineering. Shen Shuangshuang was her first target of bullying. Later, she always followed her, silently taking the blame for her.
Now she was also in this living hell because of Su Yao. How could she not hate her? Naturally, she couldn’t.
I stared at the numb and haggard Su Yao in the corner outside the iron window for a long time. She seemed to notice my gaze, turned her head, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She directly hung up the video and wanted to rush over, but the supervisor beside her grabbed her hair, slapped her twice, stripped her clothes off, and then kicked her to the ground.
“Bitch, you dare to hang up on the customer? I’ll kill you today.”
She curled up naked, her head was stepped on hard, her facial features almost deformed. Her blood – red eyes still stared at me firmly.
I saw the supervisor take a long needle and pierce it into the gap of her fingernail. Suddenly, a heart – rending scream resounded throughout the building.
“Xu Wan! You will die a bad death! Ahhh!!!”
Even at this time, she was still cursing me. I smiled brightly at her, not getting angry at all.
I was originally a person crawling out of hell to claim lives. Why would I be afraid of dying a bad death?
I asked Fourth Sister to take good care of her and then happily returned to my room.
There was only one last paper ball left under the pillow, with “W” written in it.
Brother Xi once asked me who “W” was. I said it was also one of my fraud targets, rich and powerful.
As soon as he heard about the money, Brother Xi immediately smiled brightly and praised, “You小子 have good resources.”
I really wasn’t lying because that man was indeed rich. A whole warehouse of US dollars belonged to him, and he was also powerful because he held the power of life and death over many people.
7
At night, I knocked on Mr. Bai’s door.
Entering the room, I directly knelt at his feet, raised my face, looked at him with watery eyes, and then took off my thick coat, revealing my snow – white skin.
“Mr. Bai, please love me.”
Seeing my appearance, he didn’t seem surprised. He just looked at my body with interest.
When I was a child, I was injected with a lot of male hormones, so my development wasn’t good. There wasn’t much to see. But this face was beautiful now, and that was enough.
“Xu Wan, you came faster than I expected.”
I opened my mouth slightly in surprise, making a look like a frightened deer, which was very endearing. “How do you know I’m…….”
He didn’t answer but looked at me with a gentle gaze. Finally, he took my hand and motioned for me to get up.
“Xu Wan, you’re very special.”
The next day, I woke up on a magnificent big bed. Mr. Bai was standing by the window, smoking a cigarette.
Seeing that I woke up, he threw a document beside me. The first page clearly had my name, Xu Wan.
“Check it,” Mr. Bai said lightly.
I opened the first page and saw the names of my parents in the kinship column, and the cause of their death was written as “accidental burning.”
I smiled in my heart but slightly frowned and looked at Mr. Bai on the surface. “No, there’s a problem here.”
Mr. Bai slightly raised his eyebrows, waiting for me to speak.
“It wasn’t an accident. I set the fire, Mr. Bai. But I’m not an ungrateful person. I can tell who treats me well. I will definitely repay those who are good to me.”
I slowly walked up to him, leaned close to his body, and nestled my delicate little face on his shoulder, shedding two tears.
“I want to stay by your side and take good care of you.”
His body slightly trembled. He stroked the long – scarred shoulder that was burned. He didn’t say anything.
But I knew I had succeeded.
I became the most favored woman by Mr. Bai’s side. Everyone was shocked. When they saw me walking out, wearing a dress and holding his arm, their jaws dropped.
Brother Xi was also greatly surprised. In just one night, I had changed my identity.
“I always thought she was delicate. So Xu Wan is a woman,” they whispered among themselves. But this wasn’t a place for gossip. Those who talked too much were directly dealt with by Mr. Bai, given to Brother Xi.
I was very self – conscious. When Mr. Bai needed me, I would appear, gently accompany him. When he didn’t need me, I wouldn’t make noise or have any demands.
He said I was sensible. But I knew he liked not only my face but also my intelligence, as long as it didn’t exceed his shrewdness.
Just like my hidden female identity, which couldn’t be hidden from him.
Mr. Bai liked long hair, so I grew my hair long. He liked to see me cry, so I would cry every time we were intimate.
He often stroked my teary eyes and exclaimed, “These eyes are so beautiful.”
I stayed by his side for two years. In the third year, I thought the time was almost right. So after a big order was completed, at the celebration banquet, I went to the vault.
The income of the park in recent years was all stored here. I took a big risk to search for it for a long time before I found it. It was all in cash because Mr. Bai liked the smell of money.
When the weather was good, he would even take it out to dry.
I stole the key from him. Although Mr. Bai was very cautious, two years of my docility was enough to make him lower his guard against me.
When he rushed over with a group of people, I was standing in front of a mountain – high pile of money. In my right hand was a lighter, and in my left hand was a torch. The whole warehouse had been splashed with gasoline by me.
He stood at the front of the crowd, his face gloomy. “Xiaowan, don’t be naughty.”
I looked at him and laughed. He asked me what I was laughing at. I said, “I’m laughing at you.”
“Xu Wan, what do you want?” he asked straightforwardly.
I shook my head and then said to him word by word, “Remember? I told you that I knew an elder sister. Her name is Li Panpan. You must not know that she is my biological sister.”
Mr. Bai’s face was heavy, but his eyes showed confusion. He didn’t know who Li Panpan was at all.
“You surely don’t remember. Five years ago, you gave a demonstration of fraud to everyone. The girl who was deceived was Li Panpan.”
I saw his eyes narrow slightly, as if he remembered a little bit.
I continued, “You cheated her out of all her money, told her you could help her earn medical expenses, and tricked her into taking out a nude loan for investment. She committed suicide. She was the best person to me in the world, the only one who was good to me.”
As I spoke, I suddenly raised my head and stared at Mr. Bai. “You must be very proud, right? Such a classic teaching case. Ha ha, but none of it matters now.”
I shook the lighter in my hand. The panic in his eyes was clearly visible. It was the first time I saw him show such a nervous expression. I thought it was very interesting.
After all, there were billions of US dollars here, all his life’s savings.
“Every second by your side made me extremely disgusted.”
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, I threw the torch in my hand towards the pile of money behind me. Flames instantly surged up, engulfing the entire warehouse.
My body was already covered with gasoline. In the last moment when the fire swept over, I looked at Mr. Bai and showed a bright smile.
“I left you a surprise. I hope you like it.”
Yes, I had already contracted a disease. I had been lingering on with a broken body until now, just for this day.
In the billowing smoke, I heard many people shouting. I also saw my sister. She took my hand and smiled gently like when we were kids.
“Wanwan, shall sister take you away?”
I nodded blankly and followed her forward. I didn’t know where we were going, but it should be a home that only belonged to the two of us.
Epilogue
My name is Xu Wan, and I’m a girl.
I heard that when my mother was pregnant with me, my family went to a fortune – teller. He said this baby would definitely be a boy.
After I was born, when my grandparents saw that I was a girl, they left with a scowl. My father even said, “Just throw her away like the previous one.”
Yes, their first child was also a girl. They threw her at the gate of an orphanage right after she was born and claimed that the child had a miscarriage. It was as if this girl had never existed.
But before giving birth to me, they had already boasted that it was a son and even prepared a banquet. This time, they could only take me home.
In that era, the Internet was not developed. So when registering the population, my father directly paid someone to change my gender to male.
Since the day I was born, I was raised as a boy. My hair was cut short like a boy’s. When it grew, it was immediately cut again. At that time, I was too young to have any concept of gender. But gradually, I found out that I was actually a girl.
The first time I got my period in the sixth grade of primary school, I was at school. My pants were full of bright red blood. I was so scared. The classmates around me were all laughing at me.
My mother came to school. I looked at her in a panic, my hands clutching my clothes, not knowing what to do. Just as I was about to ask my mother if I was sick, she rushed over and slapped me twice.
From that day on, my life changed.
My parents transferred me to another school and started giving me medicine continuously. As a result, my development stagnated. Every month, when I got my period, even in winter, they would make me soak in ice – cold water.
My lower body was trembling, I was shivering all over, and my lower abdomen hurt like hell. I cried and called out to my parents. As soon as I said my stomach hurt, my head was directly pressed into the ice – cold water.
It was not until one day when I finally stopped having my period that they smiled with satisfaction and called me a good son.
After that, every time I did something that didn’t fit a boy’s behavior, I would be dragged home and beaten. But the next day, my mother would gently stroke my head and prepare breakfast for me.
At first, I didn’t understand why my parents, who had taken good care of me since I was a child, suddenly changed. Later, I gradually realized that I had shattered their dream of having a son.
They sighed in the room behind my back.
“If we had known it was another daughter, we should have thrown her to the orphanage like Panpan.”
That’s when I knew that I had an elder sister named Panpan, but my parents had thrown her away.
I tried my best to find her. Later, I found her in a remote orphanage. She was two years older than me, had dropped out of school, and was working in a factory.
Later, she became the only light in my life.
She gave me pocket money, bought me delicious food. After I was punished by my parents and not allowed to eat, she would ride a bicycle to school in the severe cold to bring me hot meals.
On a cold day, her hands were red from the cold. She took out rice and hot dishes from her cotton – padded clothes, put them in a plastic box, and smiled at me.
The security guard wouldn’t let her in. The two of us were separated by the big iron gate of the school. She was very happy to watch me eat, and my tears fell patter – patter.
“Sister, why are you so good to me?”
“Silly, you’re the only relative I have in the world.”
She wasn’t very beautiful. Years of hardship had made her cheeks rough and dull, but her eyes still exuded a gentle aura. The sunlight shone on her face, and she looked like a fairy.
I didn’t tell her that I didn’t have a good time in the new junior high school. Many people bullied me. That girl named Su Yao isolated me from the whole class on the pretext of not liking me.
She was always arrogant, leading a few people to block me on my way home and torturing me in various ways.
She had two lackeys. That Li Ya, who was always showing off, was the most disgusting. To please Su Yao, she came up with all kinds of vicious tricks, such as scalding my body with a curling iron, burning my hair, and pressing me into the toilet bowl, saying she was inviting me to drink water.
I couldn’t figure out why they treated me like this. I was just studying normally, the same as everyone else, just not talkative. Later, I figured it out.
People like Su Yao were just born bad. There was no reason. It was just for fun, that’s all.
She liked to eat the sesame cakes from the store in the south of the city. She often chewed the cakes, stepped on my face, spat on me, and even took off her earrings and pierced them into the back of my hand.
“Such beautiful hands. They must look good with earrings on. Don’t you think so, Xu Wan?” She laughed happily, while the teachers and students around quickly left, choosing to ignore it and not even give a glance.
I told my parents, but they said, “Why do they only bully you and not others? You’re the only one who causes trouble. Shameless slut.”
I endured three years of school bullying. In high school, I thought I had gotten rid of Su Yao, but unexpectedly, I met Jiang Ming’en.
This hypocritical and sanctimonious man, who claimed to be a teacher, had his eyes on me.
In the office, he locked the door, brutally stripped off my clothes in front of the camera, recorded his crimes, and used them as a threat.
“Xu Wan, the teacher just likes you too much.” Behind his glasses, he showed a kind smile.
After that, his daughter came bouncing into the office. He greeted her with an unchanged expression, picked up his daughter and put her on his shoulder like a loving father.
“Good daughter, daddy is explaining the questions to the students.”
My heart was trembling. I hugged the exercise books and fled quickly, not daring to stay for a moment.
At night, I huddled in the quilt, crying and searching online for what to do. Someone told me to be brave and call the police to punish the evil.
I called the police. Because I was a minor, the police called my parents and Jiang Ming’en.
He probably didn’t expect me to call the police. The case was sent to the court. The female judge in the trial advocated mediation. Jiang Ming’en reached a private settlement with my parents for 400,000 yuan.
And not a single cent of this money went into my pocket.
I wanted to pursue it further, but my parents gave me a severe beating. The iron rod landed on my back, and it hurt as if my bones were broken.
“Slut, if you dare to mention this again, I’ll kill you. Teacher Jiang said it was an accident. I think you seduced him. You’re really a born slut. Why don’t you just die?”
I fell to the ground, my heart getting colder and colder. The hatred in my heart grew stronger and stronger. A thought in my heart said, “Kill them, kill them.”
At this time, I found out that I had contracted a disease. My sister found out when I went to a small clinic. She cried bitterly. It was also at this time that she was cheated out of all her savings for my medical expenses, took out a nude loan, and finally committed suicide by jumping off a building.
And I didn’t care about my body at all. Anyway, my body was already rotten. I crazily planned my revenge.
After my sister died, I put medicine in the food, locked my parents in the room, and then set it on fire.
Finally, I took all their money and sold myself to Northern Myanmar.
I didn’t care about shame, self – esteem, or my body.
From beginning to end, I knew exactly what I wanted.
It’s so good. I finally reunited with my sister.
(The end)
