The next time Jiang Siyu woke up, she felt she was lying on a hard bed, not as soft as a hospital bed. Her hands and feet were bound, which immediately jolted her awake.
Opening her eyes, she saw several burly men. From their physique alone, they were more than twice her size. They were disheveled, and a single glance at them was enough to evoke disgust, let alone the undisguised greed in their eyes.
With just one look, Jiang Siyu knew her situation.
She swallowed, her voice trembling involuntarily, "Who are you? I have no money, nothing to give you. But if you let me go, I'll definitely earn money for you."
It was indeed a fantasy for a person with no bargaining chips to try to negotiate with thugs. Although she knew the chances of success were slim, she couldn't help but want to try.
The outcome was as expected. The leader of the strong men waved a short, thick finger. "We do covet the money you earn, but before you can earn it, we need to earn a bit first. Brothers, what do you say?"
Several men responded in agreement, each grinning lewdly. They even started to undress, revealing their flabby bellies and teeth stained yellow from smoking, exuding a nauseating stench.
In their eyes, the woman on the bed was their plaything, a tool to make money, and a fat piece of meat already in their mouths.
They were in no hurry. Their hands roamed Jiang Siyu's body wantonly, humiliating her, making her unable to escape and forcing her to endure such shame.
The rough palms brushed against her skin. The leader of the strong men seemed very satisfied. "I didn't expect this woman to be so smooth even after serving in the military. Madam Zhan has really given us a good errand, brothers, don't you agree?"
The man's humiliating words reached Jiang Siyu's ears, startling her as she opened her eyes. "What did you say? What Madam Zhan?"
The man snorted and covered her mouth with his hand. "Why ask so many questions? We brothers haven't met such a beauty in a long time."
Then, the hospital gown she was wearing, which she had begged for, was torn to shreds by a pair of ruthless large hands. A chill swept over her entire body. She couldn't move, not even able to curl herself up.
The ensuing pain made her cry out in agony. Treated as a plaything by these ravenous men, she endured inhuman treatment.
Several strong men took turns, while she could only scream and struggle. Tears streamed down her face, soaking into the pillow. Even her cries were so helpless.
Wei Yumeng, since you let me go, why do you torment me in such a disgusting way?
You might as well have killed me, and it would have been an end to it all. This pretense, is it for revenge?
Wei Yumeng's face flashed repeatedly in her mind. Slowly, she saw Wei Yumeng sneering at her, mocking her current state as a plaything with no power to resist.
Hatred surged through her body. She gritted her teeth, enduring this humiliation. Wei Yumeng, you will pay for all of this a thousandfold!
It was unclear how long this ordeal lasted. She was exhausted, almost at death's door, before those men finally withdrew with some satisfaction and dressed themselves.
Looking at herself, her hair was messy, her body covered in dirt, and the places where her hands and feet were bound were bloody. If her chest hadn't been rising and falling, some might have thought she was on her last breath.
But this did not elicit any pity from these men. The leader of the strong men raised his hand, and the men behind him, understanding, turned and brought him a camera.
He waved the camera in front of Jiang Siyu and then played the recorded video for her.
"Tsk, tsk, so pathetic. But we brothers just like this. You'd better behave, otherwise, even if you're played to death, you'll just be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves. We have people above who will cover for us, so we fear nothing."
Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes, unable to speak. She knew these people's fearlessness must have been instructed by Wei Yumeng.
Relying on the Zhan family as your backing, Wei Yumeng, have you finally shown your true colors?
After threatening her, these men seemed to have no intention of leaving. Instead, they sent one person out to buy food and drinks, and the group gathered to eat, completely ignoring her plight.
She closed her eyes, ignoring the noisy commotion around her, and drifted into sleep. Only when she felt someone tugging at her body did she wake up again.
She found that several men had untied the ropes binding her limbs and were dragging her off the bed.
"Get down, I want to sleep. I'm telling you, don't even think about escaping."
The man seemed to have been drinking. After speaking, he fell asleep, and soon snoring filled the room.
Looking at her dirty, foul-smelling body, she could no longer stand it. She struggled to get up and went into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, under the lukewarm shower, she scrubbed her dirty body with all her might. Although there were many abrasions on her body, she acted as if she couldn't feel the pain, wishing she could scrub off the skin.
When her entire body turned red, she finally leaned against the wall and cried silently. She thought she had hit rock bottom, but it turned out she hadn't reached the absolute despair yet.
Wei Yumeng, you are truly relentless.
After washing in the bathroom until her skin turned from red to pale, she finally turned off the water and, tightly wrapped in a bath towel, hoped that everyone outside would be asleep when she came out so she could sneak away.
She tiptoed to the door and found a man sitting by the bathroom door, apparently dozing.
She stealthily observed everyone and found that they had all fallen asleep. This was her chance to escape.
Without caring about anything else, she tightened her bath towel and quietly walked towards the door.
Seeing the room door close at hand, she even slowed her breathing, afraid of waking someone she shouldn't.
But her undoing was that she hadn't expected the room door to be so dilapidated. As soon as she opened it a crack, it made a noise.
The man who had been dozing on the sofa was instantly woken up. He yelled, waking up the others, and then lunged to grab her.
Seeing that her escape had been discovered, she could only open the door and run out like a madwoman, shouting for help as she ran. However, it was late at night, and there were few customers in this unknown small motel who could come out to investigate.
Naturally, she couldn't outrun the tall, strong men. Before she could even get out of the corridor, her hair was violently grabbed from behind.
These men showed no mercy, dragging her by the hair and forcibly pulling her back into the room. Immediately, she was met with a barrage of punches and kicks.
