Luxury cars pulled up one after another at the entrance of the party, and men in suits and ties and glamorous women stepped out of the cars one after another.

When Huang Qi got out of the car with his female companion, he spotted Wan Junian in the crowd with a sharp eye.

"Wait here, I have something to do." He kissed his female companion's cheek and strode towards his old friend.

Huang Qi's appearance caused quite a stir in the crowd, with people crowding around him, greeting him, and introducing themselves, forming a tight circle.

In recent years, the Huang family has been thriving in Orange Isle. While others have been climbing to new heights, the Huang family has been taking huge leaps, falling three levels at a time.

The Huang family is ruthless in their actions. They never care about the means to get what they want, and they have made many enemies. But because of their overwhelming strength, even if they hate them to the core, no one dares to mess with them.

When Wan Junian spotted Huang Qi, Huang Qi was already in the middle of the crowd and couldn't leave for the time being. He thought about waiting, but when he saw the target appear, he quickly gestured to Huang Qi and followed him in. There are plenty of opportunities to see friends, but the chance to see these people is rare. If it weren't for the occasion, these people would never have shown their faces, given how much they cherish their appearance.

Nighttime is always teeming with evil spirits and monsters.

The end of a party is not the end; moving on to a new venue and starting the next round is the key.

As the drinking progressed and emotions ran high, the initially reserved group gradually relaxed. Naturally, they needed some fun. Everyone understood certain things. Huang Qi and Wan Junian exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly. Huang Qi gestured, and a waiter standing in the corner eagerly approached, "Sir, what kind of service do you need?"

“We’ll choose the ten best ones you have here ourselves.”

“Yes, sir.” The waiter’s eyes lit up.

This Mr. Huang, nicknamed "Emperor," is a regular here. Because he is a friend of the boss, the private room here is always kept open, even if other places can't accommodate everyone. This shows how high this man's status is in the boss's heart. Moreover, he always brings important guests who can't be seen in public, so they enter and exit through the back door. The people they receive are fixed. Whenever Emperor Huang brings people over, no matter how important the matter is, they have to put it aside and take care of things here first.

"Your Majesty, I just received a notification that we have new stock. Would you like to take a look?" After the waiter brought the person in, Wan Junian began to control the atmosphere, playing a concubine selection game with the others. Meanwhile, the waiter bowed obsequiously and whispered something to Huang Qi.

"How big?" Huang Qi raised an eyebrow with interest.

"They just turned 18, there are four of them in total. They all had medical checkups before coming, so don't worry, they're all very clean... You know what I mean." The waiter's smiling face gleamed with oil under the lights, but surprisingly, Huang Qi didn't find it repulsive. Or rather, he was fascinated by this feeling of being fawned over.

"Bring it over." Leaning back on the sofa, Huang Qi comfortably squinted his eyes.

I haven't relaxed in a long time; it's time to let loose.

Lu Chaochao numbly allowed the people around her to help her with her makeup and change her clothes. Her eyes were glazed over, and her mind was blank. She couldn't remember why she was here. She was celebrating her classmate's birthday at her classmate's house. After a night, when she woke up, she was already in a van. She was surrounded by girls who were about her age. They all had bruises on their bodies, and some of their wrists were bleeding because they were tied up.

Her mouth was stuffed with something, her throat was burning, and she had difficulty speaking. She couldn't even ask for a sip of water, let alone call for help.

When I was taken out of the van, a black hood was put on my head, and I was stuffed into the room in front of me before I was taken away.

A dozen or so incandescent bulbs made the room as bright as day.

Having been in darkness for so long, the sudden light stung Lü Chaochao's eyes, bringing tears to her eyes. As a form of self-protection, she instinctively squinted. She could clearly see that the room was filled with alluring young women. Clothes racks and garments were everywhere, just like a stage dressing room. They were busy coming and going, carrying clothes and cosmetics, their faces indifferent.

Among the people brought out of the room, some girls who were not in good condition would be taken to another room, while the rest would be led to sit in front of the dressing mirror and dressed up like dolls. Lü Chaochao was one of the girls who were in good condition.

She was thrown into a warm bath, her body filthy and smelly, which made her feel much better, but it didn't bring her any relief. Even though she didn't want to think the worst, she knew she had been sold, and it was true.

Will she be able to go home after tonight?

unknown.

In short, if she were truly ruined, she wouldn't live. Her grandparents had devoted their entire lives to raising her to medical school, and if she went back with such a filthy mess, it would only pollute all their hard work.

Perhaps Lu Chaochao's suicidal thoughts were too strong, so much so that the woman who was applying makeup to her began to pause from time to time.

She said, "You want to commit suicide."

On the woman's charming face, there was a barely perceptible hint of pain. She didn't ask, but rather stated it with certainty.

Lu Chaochao kept her eyes closed and didn't speak. "You're about to graduate with your master's degree, right? You're only eighteen. That's impressive." Seeing that Lu Chaochao didn't respond, the woman turned around, dipped her eyebrow brush, and began to outline Lu Chaochao's eyebrows.

"I know you're a top student at medical school, so do me a favor and I'll find a way to get you out of here, okay?" The woman's words were like a witch's poisoned apple, extremely tempting.

The words "medical university" finally elicited a reaction from Lü Chaochao. She turned her head, her gaze falling on the small black mole at the corner of the woman's lips, gradually focusing. "What do you want me to do?" As soon as she spoke, it felt like a knife was scraping her throat, causing Lü Chaochao's brows to furrow in pain.

“I have a younger brother in a village in Jiangbei. He’s in high school in town now. I probably won’t be able to leave for a long time. Could you send the money to him for me?” She had been taken away from here for five years and had never stepped out of the house. Except for work hours, she stayed in the dormitory. There were people watching over her every day. Even when she went out to buy a pack of sanitary napkins, they would run errands for her and she would have to pay them a kickback.

Aside from the fact that her job was dirty and lacked freedom, fortunately, she wasn't restricted in other ways. They were allowed to accept tips from customers, and the managers wouldn't take them. After more than five years of saving, she had accumulated quite a bit, enough for her younger brother to finish college. Based on the timeline, her younger brother should be in his first year of high school by now, and with his grades, getting into the town's top high school would be no problem.

When she spoke of her younger brother, a light appeared in the woman's dull eyes, as if he were the reason she kept living.

"Aren't you afraid I'll take your money and not do the job?"

"If that happens, then it's fate. I'll just find someone else; there's always a chance of success." The woman's nonchalant attitude, tinged with a touch of magnanimity, impressed Lü Chaochao.

"If you save me, I'll bring it to you."

"good."
