My sister-in-law from Qingdao

Xiao Dong:

By the time you read this letter, I'll probably be no longer in this world.

There's so much I want to say, but I really don't know where to begin.

I lied to you, I lied to your sister-in-law, I lied to everyone.

After I arrived in the south, I didn't find any good projects. Instead, I was pulled into a scam gang in Kokang, Myanmar by some of my old cronies.

When I first came in, I was detained and beaten. I also witnessed pretty young girls being bullied by those thugs, and some so-called brave people being beaten to death.

I was locked in a small, dark room for seven days and seven nights, and was only given a little bit of rice each day.

They said that if I survive these seven days, I will have to help them participate in the scam; if I don't agree, they will remove my organs.

The reason they gave me so little to eat wasn't to prolong my life, but because they said I had fatty liver and only by eating less could my liver become cleaner.

At the same time, I was waiting for the next buyer to purchase my liver, kidneys, and corneas. Although I haven't read many books, I understand my situation.

On the third day, I begged them to cooperate with me.

Do you remember the 500,000 yuan your sister-in-law gave me? That was the first money I scammed. After I handed over that 500,000 yuan, they started to get me a job. They gave me a lot of phone numbers in China.

I called and texted them one by one, with only one goal: to lure people into my trap.

I've made some progress during this time, and they said they'd let me work here for three years. If I could swindle 30 million, they'd let me go back.

But I know I can never go back.

When I was in Qingdao, I was involved in some criminal activities and even did some illegal things, but after I arrived in Kokang, I realized that those were nothing compared to what I had done.

Here, a human life is worth less than a chicken, a dog, or a rat.

Once these bad guys have their eyes on you, they'll do whatever they want to kill you.

Water dungeons, tiger benches, chili water, being force-fed excrement, being doused with urine. There's nothing they won't do, only things you can't imagine.

They are more beastly than animals, more devilish than devils.

Especially for some girls, some young and beautiful female college students, once they are tricked into coming here, it is like hell on earth.

They do all sorts of live streams and even make those kinds of movies. Girls who are even slightly attractive are bullied in turns, and if they don't obey, they are beaten to a pulp.

When I was in Qingdao, I felt that life was very difficult, and I was constantly being pressured by people to repay debts. But when I got here, I realized that what they were pressuring me for wasn't debt, but my life.

Brother, I felt lucky a few years ago. Although I didn't get much education, I made a name for myself in Qingdao with my courage and connections.

But I later realized that what truly equips a person is knowledge, and I suffered from the lack of knowledge.

I know I can't complete the task of making 30 million in three years, so I'll die sooner or later after three years.

Right now, my biggest worry is my parents and your sister-in-law.

Your grandparents are getting old. Although I did quite well in Qingdao, they didn't get to enjoy the benefits I brought. Your sister-in-law is beautiful and understanding, but unfortunately, I didn't cherish her enough.

Looking back now, the past seems so wonderful, but after arriving here, I realized it was a hellish place.

I can't go back, and I don't know if you'll ever see this letter.

If you can see this, do two things for me.

The first thing they did was help me take care of my parents.

Although I've left behind a mountain of debt, I still have to ask you for help because I really have no one else to ask.

Secondly, you need to help me take care of your sister-in-law.

Sometimes I think that maybe you are more suitable for your sister-in-law. You two are both educated and college students.

But there are many things I can't force. After all, you're just a student, while your sister-in-law is a married woman.

No matter what your future holds, you must take good care of her for me.

If I die one day, you can marry her if you wish.

If you don't marry her, you should hand her over to the man who truly loves her, just like a younger brother marrying off his older sister.

There's one more thing you must remember. I have a friend named Sun Wenbin who owes me 260,000 yuan. There's no IOU, but I believe he's a real man. Remember to get this money back. Give half to your sister-in-law and half to your uncle and aunt.

Another friend of mine, Liu Feng, owes me 60,000 yuan. You should also get that money back.

We ate together with these two people when you first arrived; you should remember them.

I'm feeling really confused right now. I'm living a life of utter darkness here, and I don't even know if I'll ever be able to get out.

Finally, let me give you a piece of advice: be wary of all your friends and classmates.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. And don't answer those unfamiliar phone numbers if you can avoid it. The economy is bad right now, so don't expect any good jobs to be waiting for you in a foreign country.

Many of those so-called high salaries are actually lies.

Alright, I have to get back to work now. I'll keep this letter with me after I finish writing it. Whether you'll ever see it depends on fate and destiny.

Brother; Chen Fang.
