Cao Da played the video on his own.

Lin Yusheng could control her vision, but she couldn't control her hearing.

"Stand up! Keep standing up! Aren't you supposed to be a good fighter?"

"Trash and worthless, you even dare to mess with us."

The arrogant voice was unsettling, and the sounds of fists and kicks hitting flesh made Lin Yusheng's heart clench.

She sensed something was wrong, turned her head and glanced at the screen. In just one glance, the images on the television screen filled her with anger and heartache.

Three young men surrounded a thin boy, punching and kicking him and hurling insults at him.

Lin Yusheng knew without looking that the one who was beaten was Lu Zhengye.

As expected.

The camera focuses on a boy lying on the ground, clutching his head. He looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old, covered in dirt, with still very immature features, but his eyes already contain too many emotions that do not belong to his age—hatred.

The group that beat him up looked much older than him, and they were ganging up on him.

Cao Da was very satisfied with Lin Yusheng's surprised and angry expression. He said, "This was when he first started out in the racing world. He was targeted because he was shining and attracting attention. It was really pitiful."

The screen then shifted to show Lu Zhengye as a younger child.

He lay on the ground, barely alive, his lips pale and cracked, whimpering for food and water.

Cao Da gritted his teeth, "He was originally someone I bought back; he's a member of my Puya Manor, but he doesn't know what's good for him."

Lin Yusheng had no desire to listen to what he was saying.

Her eyes gradually became blurred with tears, and she could no longer see the screen clearly.

Someone threw a steamed bun next to Xiao Luzhengye. He probably hadn't eaten for several days, so he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth without a second thought.

Even when he was choking and coughing repeatedly, he didn't stop moving.

The person recording the video laughed mockingly, and it wasn't just one person laughing.

The scene then shifts again, this time to the beach.

This time, the screen was filled with people, all wearing heavy down jackets and sitting in seats arranged by the sea.

Everyone wore a mixture of tension and anticipation, their faces flushed as they discussed the conversation with the person next to them. They resembled gamblers in a casino, hoping that Lady Luck would smile upon them.

The camera panned, and Lin Yusheng saw a gambling table that was indeed covered with chips.

Countless coins and jewels were laid out on top, divided into five piles.

Each pile had a corresponding name, but Lin Yusheng could only see Lu Zhengye's.

The most chips were bet on his name.

With a gunshot, five people were thrown from a ship on the sea.

Winter is already bitterly cold, let alone at sea.

Even though the video wasn't very clear, Lin Yusheng could still recognize Lu Zhengye.

He quickly regained his footing in the sea and then desperately tried to swim to the shore.

Lin Yusheng's heart clenched tightly, as if she were facing a life-threatening danger just like Lu Zhengye.

The other four people on the sea probably already disliked Lu Zhengye and actually joined forces to try to drown him in the sea.

Lu Zhengye's head was pressed hard into the sea by the two men.

Two other people were rushing in his direction.

Faced with such an unfair scene, no one in the video spoke up to stop it. Instead, they became even more excited, standing up from their seats and shouting to cheer on their chosen bettors.

...

Lin Yusheng wished she could rush in and save Lu Zhengye. Tears streamed down her face, her heart aching.

Unlike Lin Yusheng's reaction, Cao Da felt extremely comfortable watching this and almost laughed himself to death.

Lin Yusheng bit her lip, closed her eyes, and tried to block out her five senses.

Anyway, she knew that A-Ye survived in the end.

But Cao Da would never let her have her way.

He roughly turned Lin Yusheng's head back and shouted angrily, "Open your eyes and look at me!"

"Didn't you say you had no feelings for him? Huh? You fucking lied to me and made me lose everything. Open your eyes and look carefully. See if he used to be like a rat crossing the street."

Lin Yusheng endured the pain, gritting her teeth and tightly closing her eyes.

If her hands and feet hadn't been tied, she would have fought Cao Da to the death.

She opened her eyes, filled with an unprecedented rage. "He's not like that. His suffering comes from your jealousy, from your narrow-mindedness, your disrespect, your cruelty and perversion. It's all your fault. You are unforgivable."

Lin Yusheng became more and more agitated as she spoke, and felt some discomfort in her lower abdomen. The education she received since childhood made her unable to accept this kind of bullying.

"Ha! This is not your Lucheng. Life on the Island of the Dead is supposed to be like this. Lu Zhengye's attempt to change this is simply wishful thinking."

Looking at his stubborn face, Lin Yusheng suddenly laughed, "Peace is the future of this world. All hegemony and the idea of ​​oppressing others will be resisted and rejected. People like you who are selfish, profit-driven, and unscrupulous will be eliminated by the world sooner or later."

Cao Da was already in a bad mood, and the disgust in Lin Yusheng's eyes and the contempt in her words kept provoking him.

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could strangle Lin Yusheng.

In fact, his hand also covered it.

Lin Yusheng felt utterly disgusted when her neck was held in the hands of someone she disliked.

"No, there is no fairness in this world, and there should be no peace. The winner is king, the loser is a bandit. I will be the king of the Island of the Dead."

Lin Yusheng closed her eyes. "I can't reason with you. Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

Cao Da regained some of his senses and relaxed his strength. "I can't kill you now. Now that I know you're lying, Lu Zhengye is very likely to come back. I haven't lost yet."

Lin Yusheng felt a pang of pain in her heart, and bit her lip until it bled.

Cao Da laughed smugly, "You have to watch these videos tonight, whether you like it or not."

Lin Yusheng had a bad feeling. The next second, she heard the sound of cloth being torn, and then her shoulder suddenly felt cold.

"Get out of here!" Lin Yusheng roared.

Cao Da looked at her with a malicious gaze and said lewdly, "I'm not in the mood to touch you right now, but if I see you not looking at your sweetheart properly, I'll strip you naked and show my little brothers what I'm made of, hahahaha."

Lin Yusheng felt incredibly humiliated, but she was now like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

She didn't want to die. She never thought she would get pregnant. She was also afraid of the pain of childbirth. But as long as she thought that the child was Lu Zhengye's, she looked forward to his arrival.

Lin Yusheng was forced to watch Lu Zhengye's old videos.

She finally understood why he never mentioned what happened on the island of the Dead Slave; there was no law or morality there.

Some people live at the bottom of society, like ants; others call themselves kings and act recklessly.

They derive pleasure from the suffering of others, showing no reverence for life, instead treating it as a game of power.
