**Junhuan's 15th Birthday**
**2005**
**Tianjin City**
On the top balcony of a small apartment, Junhuan returned home from school to find a dazzling display of lights. Believing that his father, Liang Junshan, had organized a surprise party, he felt a surge of joy as he walked inside.
As he stepped onto the balcony, Junshan approached, carrying a beautifully decorated birthday cake.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Junhuan, happy birthday to you. Make a wish, son!" Junshan sang, his voice filled with warmth.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Junhuan couldn't help but shed tears of happiness.
"Quickly, blow out the candles!" Junshan urged excitedly.
Junhuan complied, and his father served him a slice of rich chocolate cake along with a cup of orange juice. Unbeknownst to Junhuan, the drink was laced with a sedative, courtesy of his own father.
Within minutes, Junhuan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and a group of men from a local triad swiftly abducted him.
**At the Xinyao Bar**
Once inside, Junhuan was forcibly taken to the back office of the bar, which was known to be a front for the Yeh family's illicit operations, including drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering. Junshan had incurred significant debts to the Yeh family.
In the office, Yeh Jianguo entered with his bodyguards.
"Boss, this is Liang Junshan's son, Liang Junhuan," one of the men announced.
"Ah, so this is the boy my daughter has taken a liking to! Quite handsome. Strip him down and take some photos for her," Jianguo ordered casually.
"Please, don't do this! He's only 15! I thought they would just take an organ to sell!" Junshan pleaded, panic evident in his voice.
"Get rid of him!" Jianguo shouted, dismissing Junshan's pleas.
"Yeh Jianguo! Please, spare my son!" Junshan cried desperately.
That night was a nightmare for Junhuan, as he was subjected to unspeakable acts, captured on video and in photographs.
The following morning, Junhuan awoke, naked and in pain, in a dimly lit room. He managed to find his mobile phone among his discarded clothes, alongside incriminating photos of himself.
Tears streamed down his face as despair consumed him. An hour later, Junshan entered the room.
"Leave me alone! I shouldn't have trusted you! I should never have come home!" Junhuan sobbed.
"I'm sorry, son! I never meant for this to happen! I thought they would only take an organ!" Junshan responded, tears in his eyes.
"I just want to get out of here!" Junhuan shouted, his voice filled with anguish.
Noticing blood seeping from his son's injuries, Junshan embraced him tightly.
"Please, Dad, let's find a way to pay off the debts! I don't want to do this!" Junhuan pleaded, his heart heavy.
"I heard Yeh Jianguo's daughter is fond of you. If you marry into the Yeh family, we can clear our debts," Junshan suggested reluctantly.
"I'd rather die than marry into that family!" Junhuan retorted defiantly.
At that moment, Jianguo walked in.
"Oh really? Take him to the bath center and make him serve the older gentlemen!" Jianguo commanded.
His bodyguards knocked Junhuan unconscious and transported him to the nearby bath center.
For the next few weeks, Junhuan was coerced into learning massage techniques and catering to men at the facility.
**Three Weeks Later**
**At the Yeh Mansion**
Seventeen-year-old Yeh Caiying returned home and overheard her father's conversation.
After dinner, she entered Jianguo's study and noticed photos of Junhuan.
"Where is Liang Junhuan?" Caiying inquired.
"He's at my bath center," Jianguo replied.
"Dad, that's a waste! He's a gifted hacker! In school, he hacked into several databases and sold answers to test papers!" Caiying exclaimed, excitement in her voice.
"Is that true?" Jianguo asked, intrigued.
"Please, bring him back to our mansion. I have a task for him," Caiying insisted.
"Alright, since you've asked, I'll arrange for him to return tomorrow," Jianguo agreed.
**The Next Morning**
**At the Bath Center**
Junhuan lay resting in his room when several bodyguards barged in, seizing his belongings and laptop.
"Please, don't take my laptop! It's the only thing my mother left me!" Junhuan begged.
"Silence and come with us! Our master's daughter wants to see you!" one of the bodyguards ordered.
They bound Junhuan and forced him into a van.
**At the Yeh Mansion**
In the basement room, Junhuan shouted, "Don't touch my laptop!"
Caiying entered, causing Junhuan to freeze in shock.
"Do you remember me? Welcome to my home. I have a task for you," Caiying said with a smirk.
"Stay away from me! I won't follow your orders anymore!" Junhuan yelled defiantly.
"Ah, you still remember me! How delightful!" Caiying laughed.
Cornered, Junhuan's mind drifted back to their school days.
**Mid-October 2004**
Junhuan had been assaulted by the Yeh family at the basketball court after school.
"Please, I'll repay the loan by next week!" he begged.
"I'll give you another 10,000. Hack into the school system and retrieve the exam answers," Caiying suggested, stroking his face.
"I can't do that; it's against school rules," Junhuan replied softly.
"What if I threaten to stop your mother's cancer treatment?" Caiying countered.
"Please don't! I'll do whatever you ask!" Junhuan conceded, desperation in his voice.
**November 10, 2005**
**At the Yeh Mansion, Basement Room**
"What do you want from me? I refuse to do anything for you! Let me go!" Junhuan demanded anxiously.
Caiying held up his laptop, showing him a video of his father being brutally beaten.
"Dad! Please don't hurt him! This laptop is my last connection to my mother!" Junhuan cried out in panic.
