The story centers on a girl named Yao Xiaomei, originally from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. She is described as tall, standing at 1.73 meters.

During her university years, around the age of 17 or 18, while in a provincial capital city in the south, she became involved in ‘YC’. This was apparently encouraged by classmates who spent money lavishly, and she was young and didn’t fully understand the implications at the time. Due to her height of 1.73 meters, her price was 1.2K RMB. This activity took place about five years ago. She used her own identity card for registration purposes, providing it to a “team leader”. Through this experience, she saved a significant amount of money.

She then used the money she saved, including from this activity, to support herself for studying abroad. She went to the United Kingdom for her studies. While in the UK, she also obtained a work visa, which is currently still valid.

Upon her return to China after studying abroad, she started a new endeavor: importing pharmaceuticals from Hong Kong and distributing them domestically. She states she is in the pharmaceutical industry. She sourced drugs from Hong Kong, which were then brought into the country by human carriers via Shenzhen customs. She initially utilized channels provided by a relative (her brother, also in the pharmaceutical industry), but she also personally sought out patients in hospitals. She positioned herself as an individual operator or an “overseas pharmaceutical representative”. She sold the medications directly to patients. The drugs primarily targeted common conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. She believed these imported medications were superior in quality to domestic ones. She also felt that she was genuinely helping patients and, being articulate, patients tended to trust her. This business has generated profits exceeding 100W RMB for her.

To avoid detection and tracking, she employed several strategies:

• She used Paper Plane (Telegram) to communicate with her upstream supplier (the person who transports the drugs from Hong Kong to Shenzhen and then to her).
• She used her cousin’s individual business account to handle the finances.
• She transferred money from her cousin’s account to herself in the form of salary, attempting to obscure her personal financial trail.
• She even used WeChat and business cards that were not under her real name.

Despite these efforts, she was aware that her activities were likely illegal. She worried that if her operation were discovered, her attempts at concealment—such as fake identities, fake business cards, and financial maneuvering—would be largely ineffective under investigation, and her identity could be easily determined. She understood that her profit margin was substantial, likely already meeting the threshold for criminal charges and sentencing. A lawyer strongly advised her to stop this business immediately, indicating it could constitute smuggling or a crime related to pharmaceuticals.

She drew a parallel between her situation and the movie “I Am Not A Drug God,” acknowledging that while her intention was to help patients, her actions violated regulations within the legal framework and affected certain industry interests. She questioned if she could use her unexpired UK work visa to flee the country if her activities were discovered. However, she was informed that if she were placed on a national wanted list , she would be unable to leave the country. She also inquired whether her deceased father’s criminal record from twenty years ago (related to a traffic accident, resulting in detention or sentencing) would impact her potential future application for a government position . She learned this would likely have little impact unless the position was a sensitive one.

Currently, she has not been discovered . Where she goes from here, based on the advice from the sources, the recommended course of action is to stop the illegal activity immediately. The sources strongly emphasize the risks of continuing, regardless of her attempts to evade detection.
