Like a lamb that has strayed into a pack of wolves, her desperate gaze swept over the greedy faces of the men below the stage.

"This is today's first item for auction—Miss Magpie. Miss Magpie has just turned eighteen and is still a virgin. If any of you are interested, you can place your bids now. The starting price is 500,000!"

"One million!" Before the host could finish speaking, someone shouted out the price.

Han Feng's lips were pressed tightly together, his clenched fists trembling slightly on his thighs: "This place is absolutely insane, they don't even spare underage girls!"

Ji Lun glanced at him: "Aren't you rich? If you feel sorry for her, why don't you just take a picture of her?"

Han Feng scoffed, "Am I that kind of person? I have no interest in young girls who have just come of age; I feel guilty about it!"

Ji Lun chuckled: "You're getting the wrong idea. I meant taking a picture of her, not asking you to... What are you thinking?"

Han Feng was taken aback: "Isn't bidding just...?"

Ji Lun raised an eyebrow: "So, you brought me here because you intend for me and Han Bing to...?"

Han Feng spat and said helplessly, "I have no choice. Han Bing doesn't have anyone she likes. If something really happens, I can't be the one..."

Ji Lun patted his shoulder with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I won't touch her."

He watched as someone in the arena bid seven million, then turned to Han Feng: "Aren't you planning to do something charitable?"

Han Feng said irritably, "Why didn't you save them?"

"Because I'm not as rich as you," Ji Lun said calmly and confidently.

This answer left Han Feng speechless for a moment.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had bid seven million, seeing no one else raise the price, revealed a lewd smile and whispered to his companion beside him, "Look at this little girl, so pretty, only eighteen, two years younger than my daughter. Once I get my hands on her... tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting!"

Seeing that no one else was bidding, his companion quickly cupped his hands in congratulations: "Congratulations!"

"You beast!" Han Feng's joints cracked with rage.

"Seven million once! Seven million twice! Seven million three times..."

"Ten million!" Han Feng suddenly raised his bidding paddle, his face cold and grim.

The middle-aged man looked at Han Feng in disbelief and said in a low voice, "Is this kid crazy? Spending ten million for a girl? Is it really worth it?"

His companion shook his head: "There are plenty of eighteen-year-old girls out there, you can find them everywhere. Spending so much money is just foolish and wasteful!"

The middle-aged man scoffed dismissively: "Fine, let him have it. Only a fool would be foolish enough to take the fall!"

"Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times! Sold! Congratulations, sir! After the auction ends, you can take Miss Magpie away." The host's loud voice pierced the air.

"There are three beauties up for auction today. Next up is the second one, Miss Rainbow Chicken. Miss Rainbow Chicken is gentle, sensible, obedient, and can perform many difficult moves. She is a rare beauty. Everyone can start bidding now. Starting price: 500,000!"

Before the words were finished, the scarlet silk cloth on the black carved cage ceiling suddenly slid off.

The moment the woman's pale face was exposed to the spotlight, Han Feng and Ji Lun's pupils contracted sharply.

The two stared at each other in astonishment. Wasn't this Tian Jingjing?

The mastermind behind the elaborate trap that lured Qiu Mang and Han Bing into a desperate situation has now become an auction item.

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

"One million three hundred thousand!" The man holding the paddle glanced at Tian Jingjing with disgust. "That's the highest price you can pay. She's no longer a virgin, and who knows how many men she's been with. She's not young anymore, how much is she worth?"

Upon hearing this, the person who had originally intended to hold up the sign hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not raise it.

Tian Jingjing stared at the suddenly chilly venue, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Two days ago, when she heard that Miss Cat's virginity was going to be auctioned off, she laughed dismissively.

Later, I heard from Chen Xin that not only could a woman's virginity be auctioned off, but she could also be auctioned off as a person. As long as someone won her bid, she could leave with her sugar daddy.

Tian Jingjing was excited for a long time after receiving this news.

"Brother Chen, please help me!" She gripped Chen Xin's sleeve, her eyes darting around.

Chen Xin looked her over suspiciously: "Auctions are mostly for virgins, you... or are you?"

Tian Jingjing bit her lip and feigned pitifulness, "Oh, Brother Chen, these days you need experience to find a job. Someone like me, an 'experienced' person, is definitely better at serving people than a novice!"

Chen Xin squinted at her, "Are you sure you can do it? What's in it for me if I help you?"

Tian Jingjing pressed herself against the man's chest, drawing an ambiguous circle on his heart with her fingertips: "Why don't you personally inspect the goods, Brother Chen? As long as you nod your approval, I won't forget you."

Chen Xin's breath hitched, and he grabbed her waist: "I can put in a good word for you with Sister Lian, but let me make this clear beforehand—if the transaction price is less than five million, Sister Lian will not let you go, and you will be a discarded asset in the market."

Not only will you be permanently disqualified from bidding, but you'll also be thrown into Room E and become a plaything for the men in the company. Have you thought it through?

“I won’t lose.” Tian Jingjing bit her lower lip, a fierce glint in her eyes. “You’ll know once you try it; no one can resist my charm.”

Looking at the greedy yet contemptuous faces below the stage, her voice began to tremble: "I'm proficient in eighteen kinds of techniques, guaranteed to make you unable to resist! Gentlemen, raise the price again..."

Han Feng chuckled and looked at Ji Lun, "I never expected you to have such a discerning eye before! You liked such open-minded things!"

Ji Lun crushed the pen in his hand and whispered, "Don't mention her to me again. I was blind before!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

"This is so exciting! This is the first time I've ever seen someone volunteer themselves. So, bro, wanna film it?"

"I don't want it. It's so experienced, I'm afraid I'll get sick. You can have it!"

"I don't want her either. You can find plenty of women like that for ten thousand yuan outside. Why would I spend so much money to play with someone else's leftovers here!"

"Exactly! Someone offered me 1.3 million, and I thought it was too high. This kind of quality is only worth 3,000 for the night!"

Taunts and mockery rose and fell, and Tian Jingjing's eyes were filled with despair.

Her eyes swept across the audience and suddenly she spotted two handsome figures among a group of greasy men. Who else could it be but Ji Lun!

"Jilun!" She shook the iron cage frantically, her hair disheveled. "I knew you would come to save me! Take me away now, I promise I'll behave this time!"

Inside the other iron cage, Han Bing was startled. Ji Lun had arrived?

Looking down at her barely clothed state, she wished she could disappear into a hole, a strong sense of shame welling up inside her.

"Jilun! Save me!" Tian Jingjing's voice continued.

Han Bing suddenly came to her senses. Right, he came to save Tian Jingjing. Why was she so nervous?

Han Bing gave a wry smile. Ji Lun probably didn't even know he was missing, and she was actually worried about losing face in front of him. It was really ridiculous.
