We all thought we would starve to death if things continued like this, but after arriving in Huaxia, a strange organization took us in. They claimed to be the creators of the world, saying that this world was heading towards destruction, though many people simply didn't notice. All we wanted was to survive, so they brought us to various strongholds and then began various forms of training and taught us various criminal courses.
At first, we were certainly afraid, feeling like we had escaped one dragon's den only to enter another devil's lair. We all thought we were doomed, but later my father, Cang Yongheng, gained some renown within the organization. He then led our family to occupy a certain position. The founder of the Daoxianzhui was actually him, not the Cao family. Later, because my father was assassinated, and I knew it was done by people from the Cao family, I have been retaliating against the Daoxianzhui all these years. This is why we have had our crime competitions. This time, I made you into Cao Daming purely for revenge. I wanted to let them know that my father did not die in vain, and betrayal comes with a price. That night, recalling that night, when our home was invaded by traitors of the Daoxianzhui, my parents were killed, and I escaped. Even now, I still hate the people of the Daoxianzhui to the bone. In fact, I thought I was going to die then, because fire surrounded our villa...
The villa was bought by my father after he gained fame within the organization. My mother was not initially part of the internal circle, but later, due to my father's teachings, perhaps what you would call brainwashing, they both became members of the Polaris. I was also influenced unintentionally. But that night, I didn't want to escape, yet my father handed me the Face-Changing Pill: "Hurry and go. We can do without the two of us, but you are our continuation. Take this with you. It can change your appearance. Remember not to reveal your identity until you have strength, understand? You are the last hope of our Cang family..."
"Dad, I can't go! I want to stay here with you, or you'll be very lonely, so lonely. I don't want to see you like this..."
"Silly child, even if you stay here, nothing can change. It's my fault for not seeing Cao Ping's true nature clearly. That scoundrel, along with Cao Xiangchen's family, were plotting to break away from me. Today is a good opportunity. Alright, there's no time, you hurry and go!"
As he spoke, my father forcefully pushed me out. I cried and wanted to save him, but the fire had already engulfed his room. My mother had already been burned to death by then. There was nothing I could do, so I gritted my teeth and fled the villa with tears in my eyes. I also noticed people patrolling nearby, all traitors from the Daoxianzhui. I hid everywhere, disguised myself as a beggar, and only after a day and a night did I realize no one was appearing near me. During that period, I lived worse than pigs and dogs, constantly worried that a knife would suddenly appear behind me and stab me to death. Fortunately, I eventually escaped the danger safely.
After that, I hid for several years. During this time, I was cultivating. Fortunately, Polaris knew I was Cang Yongheng's daughter, treated me well, and gave me certain powers. So I continued to climb from the bottom. I don't know how many years passed. Later, I changed my sex, and only then did I become one of the leaders of Polaris. I had quite a few subordinates. But don't think I only had those. In fact, when I realized the situation was dire, I arranged for everyone to leave. I didn't want them to be buried with me. Those I left at the power plant were my personal guard. They had long ago pledged their lives to our Cang family; they are our retainers."
"Retainers?? Are you from..." Liu Yuning asked at the time, puzzled.
"Heh, we are not from there, but my boss calls us that, so we have to say it like this. Alright, the story isn't over yet, I'll continue telling you.
Actually, after I established myself in Polaris, I started retaliating against the Cao family relentlessly. But I didn't send people to deal with them directly; instead, I played a game with them called a crime competition. I wanted the Cao family to know that their criminal abilities were far inferior to ours. I wanted to utterly destroy them mentally. As a result, they have been miserably defeated by us all these years. Hahahaha! During the Lester incident, they went mad trying to showcase some ability, but in doing so, they revealed their identities and were captured by the police. How ignorant! If he had been a little more patient then, perhaps in another hundred years, you wouldn't have found them, not even Cao Youqin.
If they hadn't exposed themselves, perhaps we wouldn't be in trouble either. But it's pointless to say all this now. I know you police are very capable, especially your Punishing Sin unit. You can follow the clues from minor details and apprehend related criminals, even a tiny shred of evidence can be thoroughly investigated by you and become the key to solving the case."
"Heh, Miss Cang Xuesong, thank you for your praise. Do you have anything else to add?" I said.
Cang Xuesong recalled. She no longer minded people calling her "Miss" now, and she spoke to us in a woman's voice throughout.
"I have more to say. Actually, the reason I changed my sex back then was because the boss told me to. Our organization has a rule: women cannot become leaders, unless they are the leader's wife or, you know, direct members who grew up within the organization from childhood. I had no choice. Unlike Liu Li and the others, I didn't have special connections to curry favor with, nor did I have their backgrounds from childhood. Only by changing my gender could I become a leader. In fact, during the surgery, I was extremely pained and hesitant, but later I had no reservations. After all, the feeling of becoming a leader was so fulfilling! Countless mercenaries and men in black were at my disposal. They obeyed my every word, flattered me immensely, Hahaha! They were my slaves, and I was their king!! The supreme king!!"
"Is that so? But you, this king, will ultimately be brought to justice by the law. You should know that the world has order, and that order is the law. If you violate this order, you must pay the corresponding price!"
"I will not yield! I will appeal! You just wait!"
"Appeal? Do you think that's meaningful?" Liu Yuning said contemptuously.
"No matter what, I will not surrender."
Cang Xuesong's resistance will certainly be futile, but I know she will not give up. I pondered for a moment. From the fate of her fallen kingdom, she continued to sink deeper into trouble, joining a criminal organization for survival first...
