Chapter 1: The Slum’s Crazy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Country H, on an isolated island.

This was a prison for mental patients and felons. It was also the poorest place in the entire country.

In the slums.

There was an extreme shortage of resources. They had to snatch everything they could eat and drink.

Some people hung from tree vines and were swallowed alive by the python in the next second. Some people jumped into the sea by the cliff, and the sharks could eat them up.

Even more people died from killing one another.

This was a criminal’s paradise, a civilized hell.

Suddenly.

From the sky came the sound of helicopters, and it was more than one.

Cheng Xin raised her head and looked at the helicopters. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Who?

Such a grand occasion?

After a moment of curiosity, Cheng Xin retracted her gaze.

It had nothing to do with her anyway.

She had been on this island for three years and had seen all kinds of storms.

Ever since he was thrown up by the Cheng family…

Haha. A family.

She was the second daughter of the Cheng family, a child brought over from the orphanage.

It was also three years ago that she found out that the Cheng family adopted her just to help the Cheng family’s biological daughter fend off the disaster!

The eldest daughter of the Cheng family, Cheng Wei, was born on the day of her birth. She was told by a fortune-teller that a calamity that she could not escape from would strike her at the age of eighteen.

Only by finding someone with the exact same birth characteristics would Cheng Wei have a chance of survival.

Cheng Xin became the scapegoat.

On the surface, she seemed to be the adopted daughter of the Cheng family, who was loved and doted on. In reality, she was just a dog of the Cheng family. She was even worse than a servant!

Cheng Wei was the beloved daughter of the entire Cheng family. Cheng Wei would not make any mistakes.

All of Cheng Wei’s mistakes had been repaid by Cheng Xin.

Her teacher’s physical punishment, her parents’ reprimands, and the semi-finished medicine used to extend Cheng Wei’s life were all used to address Cheng Xin.

When she was eighteen, the Cheng family married her off to an old man!

Of course, Cheng Xin was unconvinced. After stabbing her “husband,” she was sent here by the Cheng family.

It was all part of the Cheng family’s plan.

The Cheng family could not even kill her directly in order to protect their reputation of being kind and benevolent. They even thought of ways to do this…

How could he let them have their way?

Cheng Xin focused her gaze and removed herself from her memories.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out. Cheng Xin was shocked. She immediately saw a pair of pure black high-grade leather shoes.

“Mr. Li, those mental patients and criminals who had charged in have been dealt with.”

Another cold voice, as if coming from beside the owner of the leather shoes, could be heard.

Mr. Li?

Solve it?

Cheng Xin just stared at the shoes without looking up.

In this situation, he had to pretend to be a fool.

Cheng Xin was smart and knew how to read people’s expressions.

As sharp as she was, she could clearly feel a gaze on her.

The pressure was extremely strong.

Was it that Mr. Li?

As Cheng Xin thought about it, she still did not raise her head.

Until a pair of well-defined hands lifted her chin.

“Is this mental illness as well?”

Cheng Xin met a pair of cold eyes.

He was like a god that looked down on all living beings and looked down on them.

His voice was pleasant and deep, but it did not lose its power.

The man looked like he was in his late twenties. His short hair was neat and neat, and his face… was beautiful.

Oh, right. His lips were gorgeous. It was the most beautiful thing Cheng Xin had ever seen.

To be precise, he was the most good-looking person Cheng Xin had ever seen.

She had long, straight legs, fair skin, and a beautiful face.

Cheng Xin was definitely not stupid enough to keep staring at the man. All of these were swept away by her when she was forced to look up.

She had to admit that he had left a deep impression on her.

Someone grabbed her hair, revealing the electronic chip behind her ear.

Every person sent to the island would have an electronic chip that recorded their identity, history, etc.

“Mr. Li is indeed mentally ill.”

“She was sent here three years ago. She’s twenty-one this year… I think she’s a homeless person on the street. No other information. She was sent here after she was diagnosed with schizophrenia.”

The man called Mr. Li did not say anything, but his grip on her tightened.

Cheng Xin silently endured it without saying a word.

She tried her best to look like a lunatic.

Should I drool a little?

Seeing the expensive watch on the man’s wrist and the gun at his waist, Cheng Xin gave up on this idea.

The man kept looking at her for a long time.

“Correct,” Mr. Li said calmly.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to look him in the eye, let alone look at him for so long.

The girl in front of him was not wearing any makeup, and her face was covered in dust and dirt.

Even so, her looks did not pale in comparison.

At least she wasn’t ugly.

Furthermore, there was no reaction at all…

A hint of interest appeared in Li Qun’s eyes.

How nice.

Li Qun stood up.

“It’s her.”

As soon as she finished speaking, two people immediately picked her up and carried her away.

…Huh?

What was going on?

Cheng Xin was surprised, but…

These people were all armed. It was better to continue acting dumb.
