I learned from Ye Qingcheng that after Lin Han left Foshan, Guangzhou, she went to Ruili. She went to a cooperative enterprise called "China Wind" Jade Rough Trading Company.
This jade trading company directly cooperates with Myanmar and supplies raw materials to the jade industry in Guangzhou. It was the first stone enterprise after China's reform and opening up, with a long history and a good reputation.
Back then, "Logical Paradox" had also extended its sinister influence here, but they did not delve too deeply. The main reason was that Qin Sisi's celebrity network was unique, and there was no need to use such a tangible enterprise for protection.
Moreover, due to Qin Sisi's betrayal, "Logical Paradox" was discovered by the "Black Gold" task force in this case, and the intervention of the task force directly shelved many of "Logical Paradox's" plans.
It didn't matter if the missions were shelved; people were forgotten. Tu Ke La's lack of importance was truly unparalleled.
Tu Ke La, whose real name was Lu Yao, had no special background. He was born in an ordinary small county town and grew up there until he was eighteen. That year was his adolescence, and his heart yearned for love he never understood. So, Lu Yao left that county town, ostensibly to seek true free love.
That year, a very popular Hong Kong film was shown in China in the form of videotapes. The name of this Hong Kong film was "91 Condor Heroes," and its content was roughly about absurd love and martial arts elements.
People yearned for free love and envied the Condor Heroes who roamed the martial world. But in the real world, there were no condors, nor heroes and heroines. Lu Yao washed dishes in restaurants and moved bricks on construction sites. Later, in a garment factory, he gained a sense of presence by writing love letters for men.
And that year, he was also noticed by someone, an older woman in her thirties. She frequently visited the garment factory to pick up goods, a clothing store owner. This woman was quite wealthy, likely attracted by Lu Yao's strong physique and his slightly literary views on love.
Lu Yao moved into the woman's home the next day, casually getting into her car amidst the ridicule of his colleagues. To be honest, the woman was quite plump and had an average appearance.
This was the ultimate outcome for someone pursuing free love. To pursue free love, one should first have freedom, financial freedom. The plump female boss died less than a month after Lu Yao moved in. Lu Yao disappeared without a trace, taking with him over a hundred thousand yuan in cash and three or four gold bars from the woman's home.
The police issued a warrant for Lu Yao's arrest, but he was completely unfazed. He was giving lectures at an evening university. This boy who hadn't even finished high school spoke eloquently about university philosophy.
Many people thought he was a young professor, but who could know his true identity? No one would have imagined he was just a young man with a nineteen-year-old beard.
Shortly after, Lu Yao fell in love with a female teacher in her forties. This female teacher was a widow with good family conditions. Although not very beautiful, she was refined and possessed an excellent temperament.
About a month later, the female teacher died. Her fixed-term deposit passbook with thirty thousand yuan in savings was withdrawn, and several thousand yuan in cash from her home was also taken. The police, connecting this to the evening university professor, discovered that the professor transferred from Shanghai was a fake, and the body of the real Shanghai professor had already started to decompose.
This major impersonation case shocked the nation, and the killer had vanished without a trace.
Lu Yao was living well. With glasses on, he was gentle and elegant, and his calligraphy was excellent. People unconsciously respected him and would never associate him with a murderer.
To evade police pursuit, Lu Yao lived in a village for half a month. Here, he fell in love with a female village official. He secretly sent love letters to her home. After persistent efforts, the female village official agreed to his pursuit.
The female village official was thirty years old, single, and unattractive. She desperately needed the comfort of love.
Such a woman was Lu Yao's prey. He constantly used sweet talk, finally breaking through the psychological barriers with the female village official. That night, the female village official shyly invited him to her residence to have a heart-to-heart talk in the dark.
Lu Yao's blood boiled. He dressed himself meticulously and happily went.
However, this time Lu Yao miscalculated. Instead of the female village official waiting for him, he was met by a man with a gaunt face and glasses.
"Who are you?"
"Li Jiu."
"Where is the village head?"
"She went back. I'm a drama actor I invited from the provincial theater troupe."
"An actor?"
"Lu Yao, I'm looking for people who can help me, and you are one of the candidates. Your prey, the female village official, was actually a bait I set. From the very beginning, this was a scheme."
"A scheme?"
"Yes, you have two choices: come with me, or become a murderer I'm about to reward. Lu Yao did not choose violent confrontation; he chose the former. He followed Li Jiu to Xi'an and studied scheme planning in a training class. Lu Yao was very interested in Li Jiu's scheme planning, simply defining it as setting traps. In the training class, his idea was simple and pure: learn scheme planning as quickly as possible, or find prey from the training class.
Ye Qingcheng, Liu Chenxi, Qin Sisi... the girls in the training class were all beautiful, except for Xiao Zian, who was a bit lacking.
In Lu Yao's understanding, girls with ordinary or even ugly appearances would have weaker psychological defenses. Because such girls were more eager to be favored by boys.
For this reason, Lu Yao wrote a short love letter to Xiao Zian: Xiao Zian, you trust fate too much, yet you don't trust yourself within fate. Rationality is good, but do not be greedy. One needs an impulse, a passion, an opportunity for a man to embrace you in life.
After seeing the short love letter, Xiao Zian cried.
Lu Yao saw everything and felt proud. He had found his prey. He would make love to her intensely that night, then kill her and clean out all her possessions.
Through folded notes, meaningful glances, and several diligently written love letters, Xiao Zian finally agreed to meet Lu Yao at a hotel that night.
That night, the hotel was very dark.
"Zian, why don't you turn on the light."
"I'm shy. You come."
"Okay, your brother is here."
Lu Yao impatiently took off his clothes and nimbly slipped into Xiao Zian's bed. Why was it so cold? Were they those fashion models? Lu Yao's heart panicked. He quickly reached for his clothes, but at that moment, the lights were turned on.
More than half of the people in the training class were there. Handsome men and beautiful women looked at him as if he were an idiot. Everyone mercilessly mocked him. Later, Teacher Li Jiu told him it was a scheme.
In Li Jiu's opinion, Lu Yao was very intelligent, understood human psychology, was adept at using common tactics, and most importantly, Lu Yao was ruthless, making him one of the "born criminals" Li Jiu studied.
That time, Lu Yao was fooled, it was just a joke among classmates. Li Jiu believed Lu Yao would quickly become a schemer, but the opposite was true. After that incident, Lu Yao gave himself a nickname: Underworld Yama. He claimed to remember the face of everyone in the hotel that day and vowed to make them pay.
However, Lu Yao's counterattack turned into a joke. His plans were always seen through. While everyone was rapidly growing, Lu Yao remained stagnant. His schemes for revenge were defined by his classmates as those of a novice schemer.
Over time, no one took Lu Yao seriously anymore. They even called him Tu Ke La behind his back. Later, Li Jiu formed "Logical Paradox." The gamblers, the driver X, and the agent from the same cohort were hailed as the core of "Logical Paradox," and others held important positions, but Lu Yao was abandoned.
Lu Yao and Ning Caishen were both held back, but their treatment was vastly different. New trainees in the class revered Ning Caishen as a god, while their attitude towards Lu Yao was hostile. These people lacked the quality of the original trainees. They all pointed at Lu Yao and said, "Tu Ke La, so earthy and poor." In short, everyone treated Lu Yao as the training class's jester, teasing him when they were in a good mood, and teasing him when they were not.
As the business of "Logical Paradox" expanded, Li Jiu had no time to manage the training class. The agent took over. The agent found these two repeat students troublesome, but Ning Caishen was serene, and the agent didn't know how to approach him. Tu Ke La, on the other hand, was treated without mercy. He was directly used as a tool, buried in "China Wind" Jade Rough Trading Co., Ltd. By then, Qin Sisi had returned to Ruili. Tu Ke La was working at the company, waiting for "Logical Paradox" to assign him tasks.
Tu Ke La waited for years with no news from the organization. It wasn't until Zhu Guang died and "Fairy Tale Forest" disbanded that he found Ke Yingying and learned that "Logical Paradox" had long been destroyed.
In the end, it was Lu Yao who pleaded with Ke Yingying to find him a way to live. It was then, due to seniority, that Tu Ke La became one of the four-color Jacks. Because he had no special skills, he became the Red Peach Jack, representing the theory of extreme gambling.
