The moment "Little Devil" saw her, he blushed. "I... I'm called 'Little Devil.' Are you from Plum Blossom City? Are you here to persuade me to give up my lobbying efforts for other cities?"

Wang Qiao quickly expressed her friendliness, "No, of course not, I've heard about your idea. I think you're absolutely right, you've shown me that there's hope for Paradise Island! Could you tell me more about it?"

"..."

Wang Qiao was obviously lying to him.

She remained convinced that the people on Paradise Island were born with evil intentions and had no need to be redeemed.

Destruction is the fate they deserve.

Just like she did with other men, Wang Qiao started showering him with care and comfort every day to ease his stress.

She just thought it was fun, and kept telling the "little devil," "You can do it," "I'm here for you," "You'll succeed someday"...

After hearing these words repeated so many times, she even started to believe them.

She watched "Little Devil" bustling about among the various characters as if he were a clown, taking in wave after wave of homeless people and leading them, little by little, to build their own homes in this desolate land of the Boundless District.

She discovered that this man was not only ridiculously naive.

They were even frighteningly naive.

"Little Devil" firmly believes that his ideals can be realized on Paradise Island. He feels that as long as he is strong enough, all difficulties can be overcome.

One day, Wang Qiao said to "Little Devil," "Let me join you."

She assumed that the man would agree to her joining, as is the case with normal logic.

After all, anyone would have a much easier time with the help of a high-ranking official. She had even told Wu Lide about her so-called "undercover plan" in advance, so that she could leave whenever she wanted.

For a normal person, this would be called a betrayal, but Wang Qiao felt no psychological burden at all when facing the people on Paradise Island.

But to Wang Qiao's utter surprise, the "little devil" rejected her without hesitation.

The man looked into her eyes and said she was too naive and he couldn't drag her into this abyss. "I'm still young and vulnerable, and I'll be hunted down by all sorts of people. I can't drag you down with me. With your support in my heart, I'm already very content."

Wang Qiaotai knew what the little devil's look meant; her "game" had achieved its goal: to make the man fall in love with her.

But it was that man's single "no" that touched Wang Qiao's heart, which had remained calm and undisturbed throughout.

She avoided the man's sincere gaze.

At that moment, she was afraid.

She was afraid that she had fallen in love with him, or that she had fallen in love with him a long time ago.

She did not leave in order to continue her plans.

Was it really for her plan?

I think so...

She stayed with "Little Ghost" and helped him build the Wuwang District into what it is today.

Although "Little Devil" offended many people, he also gained the support of another group of people.

"Little Devil" at least truly made it possible for thousands of homeless people to have a home of their own.

Wang Qiao accompanied "Little Devil" on a stroll through the streets of Wuwang District, where people were engaged in their own lives, setting up stalls, hawking their wares, and greeting each other; everyone there had their own little house and wore happy smiles.

That was the first time Wang Qiao began to doubt her own beliefs.

She wondered, was it really the right thing to ruin these people's restarted lives?

"Let me join you."

Wang Qiao said those words again, this time with a hint of sincerity.

Later, she got together with "Little Ghost".

This was kept from the rest of their group, but Wang Qiao felt they had all sensed something was amiss. After all, happiness cannot be hidden.

"Little Devil" was very good to her. No matter how busy he was every day, he would accompany her to do what she wanted to do, and he would always bring her rare things from Paradise Island to make her happy.

He gave her all his love.

She can accompany "Little Devil" as he searches for information late into the night, and go with him to other cities to act as his strategist and persuader. And if she encounters any obstacles while leveling up in Plum Blossom City, "Little Devil" will also use his resources to help her.

She was very happy, and she also saw the happiness of the residents of Paradise Island.

For a long time, she lived in a state of doubt and self-doubt.

Her long-held faith wavered, but she forced herself to stay rational and told herself that the people of Paradise Island deserved to die.

With the efforts of everyone in the group, the gentleman's agreement and the "peace agreement" among the four suits were successively reached.

The "little devil's" idea has finally succeeded, and the four suits can now coexist peacefully.

She nestled in "Little Ghost's" arms, her feelings a mix of emotions, as she continued to carry out her plan, trying to find out if "Little Ghost" was the "Joker" she was looking for.

After explaining the origin of his name, "Little Devil" said to her, "My real name is Feng Mi. No one knows this secret, but now you do."

She didn't say anything more, she just kissed his cheek.

Because she knew he wasn't the one she was looking for.

That……

There's no need to keep him around.

Killing him now would cause chaos in the four cities shortly after the peace agreement was implemented, which suited her perfectly.

But she didn't know what was wrong with her; she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Until that day.

She returned to Meihua City to "report" her recent situation to Wu Lide and received a call from the WD Investigation Bureau.

She heard Director P's voice again after several months, but she felt no joy at all.

Director P told her that they had finally found an opportunity to send a shipment of weapons to Paradise Island. They would arm a group of people who landed on the island, causing a massacre on Paradise Island that the conservatives couldn't trace.

She knew that now was the most opportune time to kill the core of the Peace Agreement—"Little Devil".

But she still couldn't bear to see Feng Mi die in front of her.

So she took away the latest drug developed by Wu Lide's laboratory—a drug that simulates Alzheimer's disease, causing people to lose their minds forever, or even their memories.

That day, she prepared a table full of food and waited for Feng Mi to return.

Feng Mi, whom she hadn't seen for many days, immediately hugged her and repeatedly apologized, saying he had been too busy these past few days and would definitely not do it again.

She didn't speak, but ate her food quietly.

Then, she said with difficulty, "I'm tired, let's call it quits."

She felt a lump in her throat and raised her glass to the man. Tears streamed down her face as she drank the red wine, trickling down her cheeks.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the man drink the drugged wine in one gulp.

She didn't want the man to see her cold body before he lost consciousness, so she collapsed first. Then, she heard the man faint.

She got up and gently stroked the man's face.

Goodbye, my love, just pretend I'm dead.
