According to Huang Yajie, her parents passed away during an earthquake, and her world collapsed along with it. Although the government arranged everything after the disaster, the pain of losing loved ones was something that could never be erased. It was the second semester of her freshman year when Huang Yajie transformed from a good girl into someone unkempt and wild.
It was during this time that Huang Yajie came across an online opportunity selling lingerie. In order to make money, she ventured down this path. Through selling lingerie, she discovered the hidden aspects of the world that lurked in dark corners, a new door to a world filled with things she had never heard or seen before. Everything was novel, and she quickly became immersed in it.
Through the internet, she met a girl who was beautiful and kind, someone who seemed deserving of all the most wonderful words in the world. They chatted online, and the girl expressed curiosity about everything Huang Yajie shared. It was as if she were a newborn baby, completely unaware of the world, yet also like a celestial being untouched by earthly matters.
Huang Yajie shared stories about her life, about feeding pigs in the countryside and working in a restaurant. The girl told Huang Yajie stories about life in big houses and experiences abroad. In that moment, Huang Yajie realized that she and this girl were from entirely different worlds; the girl must have been raised in luxury, living a life of comfort.
During this time, Huang Yajie fell in love with Gangzi. However, after some time together, she realized that what she truly liked was not men; she was a lesbian. Yet Gangzi was unwilling to break up. To escape Gangzi's grasp, Huang Yajie dated various people in hopes of making Gangzi leave her.
In those days, all sorts of cars parked outside the school, and Huang Yajie had ridden in many of them. Rumors spread around school that Huang Yajie was promiscuous and labeled her a "bitch." In reality, she had only dated Gangzi once—a mistake—but Gangzi refused to let go until one day when Huang Yajie shared everything online with that girl.
The girl said she had a way to make Gangzi leave her. At first, Huang Yajie didn’t believe it, but soon after, Hao Zhi appeared before her. He claimed he had taken on someone’s commission regarding this matter and would handle it. Sure enough, within days, Gangzi completely disappeared and no longer harassed her.
Hao Zhi mentioned that someone wanted to meet her; Huang Yajie knew it must be that girl.
This was Huang Yajie's first entry into high society, and everything inside surprised her. In her words, even if she worked hard for three lifetimes, she could never earn as much money as she saw there. Hao Zhi took her to a place where a man named Young Master Lin welcomed her.
She finally met that girl—who was incredibly beautiful, more stunning than any movie star she had ever seen. That night, they lay together on a luxurious bed. They took a yacht out to sea to watch stars and sharks. One day, the girl told Huang Yajie that this might be their last meeting; Huang Yajie understood they were from different worlds.
The girl asked Huang Yajie what wish she had; Huang Yajie replied that she wished for her parents to come back to life. The girl shook her head and said that wasn't possible but knew Huang Yajie had always wanted to visit Japan. So she decided to grant that wish instead. That was the last time Huang Yajie saw the girl; while traveling in Japan, an astronomical figure appeared in her bank account—one she had never seen before.
She didn’t even know the girl's name or age; it all felt like a dream. As Huang Yajie recounted this story, tears streamed down her face as she said: “I felt like a rat hiding in a corner doing filthy things but unexpectedly encountered an angel beside a garbage heap. I met the sun in my darkest hour; I will no longer do those things—I want to start anew.”
From Huang Yajie's dreamlike experience, we gleaned an important piece of information. Whether from Hao Zhi or from Huang Yajie herself, one arrow pointed outward: Young Master Lin. It seemed necessary to find Young Master Lin to understand the whole situation.
I said to Mary: “Can we locate this Young Master Lin?”
Mary replied: “I have found him; however, there's a complication—he does not reside domestically and may involve international issues.”
“No matter where he lives,” I stated firmly, “as long as he has committed crimes in our country, we are entitled to investigate.” I stood up and said: “Contact the minister immediately and arrange for us to go abroad; we must meet this Young Master Lin.”
It wasn't until the third day that the minister informed us everything had been arranged but cautioned against taking action without solid evidence. A private jet took us directly to a small island in the Atlantic Ocean; according to records, this island belonged to Young Master Lin. His father was American and his mother Chinese; both were frequently seen among Forbes' rankings.
"What a luxurious little island," Mary exclaimed on the plane. "When I get old, I’ll buy an island too!"
It suddenly struck me that Mary's parents were wealthy in France. In my limited experience, I thought anyone who could buy a house in the capital was already quite rich, but it seemed there were always higher peaks to climb. I glanced at Yan Junde, and he looked back at me, his eyes reflecting the same helplessness. We truly were kindred spirits in this situation.
The plane landed on the island, and as we looked around, we noticed a significant number of patrols, each one armed. Yan Junde whispered to me, "These people definitely came from the battlefield. Look at their hands; see that scar on that guy's arm? It was made by a bullet. They might be mercenaries."
I nodded; it seemed Young Master Lin's influence was indeed substantial.
A crisp voice called out, and I turned to see a young man dressed plainly standing before us. "Are you the ones here to see me? Special Investigation Team? I've heard of you; I didn't expect to meet you in person."
I replied, "We suspect you are involved in a murder case. Please cooperate."
Young Master Lin shrugged and said, "Is that so? Didn’t you check international law before coming here? This island is mine. If I choose not to cooperate, what can you do? Do you see these people? As long as I believe you're infringing on my rights, I have the authority to order them to shoot you dead."
It appeared Young Master Lin was trying to intimidate us, the Special Investigation Team. I smiled and said, "We're here representing our department. Even if you're the richest person in the world, you should think twice about this. No matter where you are, we have ample evidence linking you to this case. If you dare commit a crime domestically, even if you escape to Mars, it won’t matter."
Young Master Lin waved his hand, and the mercenaries immediately chambered their weapons, aiming them at us. I had no doubt that with a single command from Young Master Lin, they would shoot without hesitation. The atmosphere grew tense; no one spoke.
Young Master Lin wanted us to back down, but the Special Investigation Team had never backed down before. He said, "Even if I shoot, I won't bear any legal responsibility afterward." As he spoke those words, his body swayed slightly, and his fingers unconsciously clenched together.
"Is that so?" I replied with a smile. "Since we've dared to step onto this island, we've already prepared ourselves. Sometimes you need to understand that not everyone bows down to power."
From the moment Young Master Lin questioned me, I knew he would never actually pull the trigger. There's an old saying: barking dogs seldom bite. What we were measuring now was courage and resolve; without absolute certainty, I wouldn’t risk the lives of the Special Investigation Team members. Most importantly, I trusted our department's capabilities—if we couldn't handle a rich second-generation heir, then we really needed to reflect on ourselves.
After a long pause, Young Master Lin finally said, "The Special Investigation Team is indeed bold."
The surrounding men lowered their weapons. One of the mercenaries stepped forward to Young Master Lin and muttered something under his breath. We looked on; this man was a typical Slavic individual—often referred to as a warrior race. He was large and muscular, easily standing at six feet three inches with visible muscles.
Mary, fluent in various languages, translated: "This man wants to challenge Yan Junde. He says that in an international competition, Yan Junde defeated his brother, and now he wants revenge for him."
"I didn’t expect you'd run into an enemy here," I said to Yan Junde.
"Since you already know what this is about, it's up to you to decide whether to accept the challenge," Young Master Lin said.
Yan Junde shrugged and replied, "No problem."
As he spoke, the people nearby had already cleared a space. The servants prepared some lounge chairs, and on a table beside them was an array of fruits I had never seen before. Young Master Lin reclined in a lounge chair, seemingly ready to enjoy the upcoming competition.
We also took our seats, and Mary quietly asked me, "Do you think Yan Junde will be okay?"
It looked like this match was quite unfair. Standing at over six feet tall, Yan Junde appeared almost like a high school student in front of his opponent. That man's arms were nearly as thick as my thigh, and I couldn't imagine how much power he contained. However, since meeting Yan Junde, I had never seen him lose.
"Don't worry," I said, watching the imminent clash from a distance. "He won't lose."
Young Master Lin remarked, "Since this is a competition, it's best if no one gets seriously hurt. However, fights can be unpredictable; the rules are simple: one side concedes. If there are no objections, we can start the match at any time."
"This time, you won't be so lucky," Lady Slava said in English.
Yan Junde responded confidently, "If I can defeat him, then I can certainly defeat you as well."
