"What are you doing? You're making it sound so serious. It's making me feel embarrassed. I was just doing something small. Although we've only met a few times, I think you're a very nice person and you genuinely care about me. My sister has been away from home for over a year and hasn't contacted me. I don't know how she's doing with her boyfriend, whether she's happy or not."
“I often think about her. Actually, you feel a lot like my younger sister to me. You are kind and natural. In fact, being on the fringes of high society, I feel very frustrated in this circle. Women in high society are very money-loving, materialistic, and ruthless. It is very difficult to find true friends.”
"But you are the woman of Ou Zihan, the richest man in the country, and you don't put on airs at all, and you don't look down on people in the slightest. You are just kind-hearted, friendly and sincere to people. That time when President Ou mistook me for a murderer and hired someone to rape me, you saved my life. So, in my heart, regardless of men's affairs, I have long regarded you as a good friend."
"I'm no longer Ou Zihan's woman. We've completely broken up..." Then, Luo Xiaoyi told her everything about her relationship with Ou Zihan.
Anna stared in astonishment, as if she had heard news of aliens coming to Earth. She found it all so exaggerated and unbelievable!
"What? How could such a thing happen? Isn't this a melodramatic plot from a novel? How could it happen to you? I thought I was the most miserable person in the world. I used to envy you the most. I never thought you were so miserable too..."
"Sigh, we're both in the same boat. Tang Yu and I broke up too. He just told me to leave like that, so heartless. I went skydiving out of grief and despair. It was my first time skydiving. Actually, I wanted to die. I wished I could just fall to my death when I fell from the airport..."
Luo Xiaoyi held her hands tightly with both hands. "Nana, don't be sad. Even without a man, we still have our own lives. From now on, we'll be together, and bravely face life together." Her dark eyes glistened with tears of pain and despair.
Since breaking up with Ou Zihan, she felt as if she had fallen into a deep, muddy, and filthy hole. The walls of the hole were mud that she dared not touch. The name of that mud was longing. However, she forced herself not to long for him, but instead tried her best to forget him.
Little did she know that for the first time in twenty-five years, she was about to learn something new: how to forget someone.
"Mmm..." Anna's voice choked with sobs, her eyes red-rimmed. She felt like she had met an old friend in a foreign land. No matter how much pain she felt inside, it was always a blessing to have a loyal friend by her side.
Four fists clenched, four eyes locked, wounded souls can only huddle together for warmth...
They thought that once these two unfortunate people left this sea and returned to Country A, their safety would be guaranteed. Although they would still suffer mentally when they returned to Country A, they would at least have food and drink.
Unlike now, if it weren't for this fisherman taking care of them, they would have starved to death.
Unexpectedly, one hardship after another descended upon them with unbridled force...
They never imagined that the kind fisherman who rescued them would sell them off like commodities...
Located at the tri-border area of three Southeast Asian countries, this place is known as the Golden Triangle. It does not belong to any of the three countries and is therefore a no-man's-land. There are no laws or constraints here, only rampant and unbridled drug trafficking.
The hot and humid climate here makes it a place where poppies are abundant, and also a breeding ground for evil.

After being knocked unconscious, Luo Xiaoyi and Anna were sold to this place. When they woke up, they were lying on the ground with the blue sky as their blanket and the green grass as their bed. What they saw was a field of poppies in full bloom, colorful and breathtakingly beautiful.
Having never seen poppies before, the two women thought they had stumbled upon a paradise. Then, one of them kicked them, and Luo Xiaoyi immediately felt as if her arm had been dislocated, experiencing excruciating pain!
Two burly men pointed two long guns at them!
"Get up! Did I pay you to sleep here? Get up and get to work! Otherwise, I'll shoot you all!" one of the burly men roared. He had a full beard and looked incredibly fierce. If you had to say who he looked like, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms period.
Luo Xiaoyi and Anna helped each other to their feet, trembling and huddled together. Anna was so frightened that her thoughts were in disarray, and she was almost crying. Luo Xiaoyi, on the other hand, had experienced some life-and-death situations and seen some bad people. Although she was also quite panicked, she seemed calmer than Anna. At least she wasn't completely overwhelmed.
"What? We are free, who would sell us out?" Luo Xiaoyi stepped forward, protecting Anna, and boldly questioned her.
Anna was suddenly shocked. She hadn't expected Luo Xiaoyi to be so loyal. Even though two burly men with guns were pointing fiercely at them, Luo Xiaoyi, with his slender frame, stepped in front of them and shielded her from the guns. Anna was immediately moved.
She couldn't just cower and let her sisters go to their deaths, so she stepped forward as well, and Luo Xiaoyi once again shielded her behind her.
"Heh, you're under our guns now, don't you know you're not in control of your own lives? You're still talking to us about freedom? How laughable! As for how you were sold here? You'll have to ask that fisherman. But I'm afraid you won't have that chance." The bearded man spoke with extreme arrogance.
Luo Xiaoyi and Anna finally understood what had happened. That fisherman was so kind and gentle, providing them with food and lodging, yet he sold them? Now, they finally understood what it meant to be unable to see into someone's heart, and what it meant to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. It was simply terrifying.
"Who are you people? What do you want us to do?" Luo Xiaoyi felt a heavy pressure on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. These people looked like terrorists from an American blockbuster. This time, they were probably in grave danger.
One thing is certain: these people won't kill them for now; otherwise, they would have shot them dead long ago instead of wasting time talking nonsense here.
But could it be that they wanted them to do something more terrifying than death? Why would they go through so much trouble to buy them from fishermen?
Although she tried her best to protect Anna, it was obvious that cold sweat was pouring down her forehead and her fingers were trembling uncontrollably. These were all signs of her overwhelming terror.
Anna stared at them, trembling violently. What were these people going to do to them? Tears streamed down her face in terror…
