"Do you even know whose man you've stolen? It's clear that you've offended someone powerful. Naturally, they'll want to eliminate you. You're lucky to have us; we've been instructed to deliver a message. Since you enjoy seducing men so much, we thought we'd let you have a few more to keep you entertained," the leader of the group sneered. He was a slender, delicate-looking man whose voice dripped with mockery.
Gu Yicing immediately thought of Gu Wenxuan, her rival. She had been a constant source of frustration for Gu Yicing—her fiancé had become Gu Wenxuan's husband, and the bitterness of that betrayal surged within her.
The moment the man heard the name, he chuckled, "No, no, don't jump to conclusions. You'll need to save your strength for serving us."
Three men climbed onto the waterbed, their intentions clear and repugnant. Fingers began to trail along her thigh, igniting waves of revulsion in Gu Yicing. The loathsome memories of similar encounters flooded back to her, reminiscent of past horrors she thought she had escaped.
Her wrists were bound by the cuffs, and without a key, there was no way to free herself. Yet, surrendering to these men was not an option she was willing to entertain.
"Hey, don't rush it! Since we chose such a romantic room, why not indulge in a little game?" she proposed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What kind of game?" The men's interest piqued, their eyes glinting with depravity.
"Come closer; I'll only tell you," she beckoned to the nearest man, her expression feigning seduction.
He leaned in, lips curling into a smirk as he whispered, "Tell me, what game do you want to play? As long as it's exciting, I'll play along."
With a swift motion, Gu Yicing bit down hard on his ear, a surge of adrenaline propelling her actions. She wanted to inflict as much pain as possible.
"Ah!" he cried out in agony, recoiling and losing his balance as he fell off the bed, clutching his damaged ear, blood pouring down in streams.
Crimson droplets splattered across the bed, stark against the water-blue fabric, the mirrored ceiling reflecting the gruesome scene above. Gu Yicing's lips were stained with his blood, a nightmarish image that could rival any vampire tale, striking terror into anyone who dared look.
"Brother!" The other two men rushed forward, outrage painting their faces. "You ugly freak! You'll pay for this!"
Thinking quickly, Gu Yicing curled her knee and drove it sharply into the man's groin. The man grimaced in pain, gritting his teeth. "You're tougher than you look, but don't forget, we injected you with the strongest drug available here. Soon enough, you'll be nothing but a shameless slut, and we'll see how you manage to fight back."
"Pfft…" Gu Yicing spat the metallic taste of blood onto his face defiantly.
Infuriated, the injured man approached her, a heavy slap crashing against her pale cheek. "Just wait for the drug to kick in. I'll have my way with you right now!" His hands viciously tore at her dress.
Though her limbs were bound, Gu Yicing refused to give in to despair. Each futile struggle only seemed to tighten the restraints, but surrender was not an option.
"Ugh!" Clenching her teeth, she summoned her strength, wrenching her hands free from the cuffs with sheer determination.
Despite her delicate wrists, her knowledge of medicine helped her minimize the pain as she maneuvered her muscles to escape. However, the sharp metal left angry red marks along her wrists and hands, the blood pooling in the crevices.
She didn't have time to consider the pain.
Sitting upright, she launched a powerful punch straight into the man's eye.
"Ahh!" he howled, pain radiating from his sensitive spot. As he shielded his eyes, Gu Yicing seized the moment to attack again.
Her fist connected with his stomach, sending him reeling backward. With a swift motion, she used her knee to propel him off the bed, reveling in the brief victory against her captors.
She was not going to let them win so easily. The fire within her burned bright, and she would fight with everything she had to escape this nightmare.
