Dragged from the warehouse to the ship’s cabin, Dong Enyu’s heart was in turmoil.
The man mercilessly threw the woman into a corner, stuffed a rag into her mouth, and even taped it shut.
To be safe, they blindfolded her and tied her hands behind her back.
All their actions were like scenes from a movie.
Now Dong Enyu was a hostage, a captive, and only this way could she experience the harshness of reality.
Prince Charming? Hero saving the damsel? Don’t be silly…
“Damn it! It’s all trash!” The sound of shattering glass silenced everyone, and the cursing continued, “How could this be presented? Could that guy betray us? Giving us false information!” The man was furious, and even Dong Enyu, thrown into the corner, could feel his intense anger.
“No way, Xiao Cheng has always been honest.
He wouldn’t dare lie… Maybe the route was wrong?” Another accomplice quickly covered the wooden box to prevent the auction items from being smashed into pieces.
“Damn it, how are we going to explain this to the other side? It’s rare to have someone vouch for us to reach the buyer.
If the deal falls through, we’ll all be left with nothing! We might even end up in jail!” The man’s anger subsided a bit, his tone filled with helplessness, “If we could open this route, we wouldn’t have to sell on the black market anymore.
Damn it! They set us up!”
The room fell silent, and Dong Enyu swallowed hard.
She shifted her body, knocking over a cardboard box behind her, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Why did you bring her here?” The leader spat and cursed.
“As a hostage.” The man being scolded scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
“What hostage! With guns in hand, why take a hostage! Look, the woman is injured, bleeding everywhere! Throw her into the sea! Don’t let her die on this ship!” The man said as he approached Dong Enyu, seemingly ready to throw her overboard to destroy the evidence.
“Wait! Although this woman is half-dead, we’ve been holding back for months.
Why not have some fun before dealing with her?” The man’s words were immediately supported by his accomplices, “We don’t know when we can come ashore while lying low.
It’s just us brothers on the ship, it’s really boring.”
“You’re always thinking about that! This woman is unknown, aren’t you afraid of getting sick!” Heavy boots creaked on the wooden floor, just five steps away from Dong Enyu.
“No, the ship is full of rich people.
This woman doesn’t seem bad, not like the women from our village.” The man said as he took off his shirt and deftly unbuckled his belt, throwing it to the ground.
“Tsk!” The leader heard this and didn’t stop them anymore.
Dong Enyu lay on the ground, feeling cold all over, but her hearing was still sharp.
There were at least five men in the cabin, and the one approaching her was agitated.
In an instant, he yanked her up harshly, tearing all her clothes with a “rip!” sound.
The tattered clothes hung on her shoulders, and Dong Enyu felt dizzy, the pain from her leg making her gasp.
“Look at this, such a good piece to throw away, what a waste?” The man’s filthy fingers pinched Dong Enyu’s chin, forcing her to face him.
Blindfolded, mouth sealed, even if she wanted to beg for mercy, she was powerless… Reduced to such a pitiful state, facing the fate of being violated… Dong Enyu asked herself, did she regret her decision? If time could go back, would she end up like this for the sake of ridiculous freedom? Or would she rather be bound by a collar, like a house dog?
“Hmph…” A snort of laughter made the man pause his lewd actions.
She laughed, laughed at herself for asking and answering her own questions.
Regret? If she truly regretted, her heart would have died long ago.
Dong Enyu’s calmness made the man hesitate for a moment.
Suddenly, the ship rocked violently, shaking everyone off balance.
“They’re here!” A young man rushed in from outside, banging on the door and shouting, “They’re here!”
Before he could finish, the leader immediately pushed aside the people around him to look outside.
After a brief glance, he turned back and shouted to everyone, “Get the goods ready! And you! Stop messing around, drag that half-dead woman to the back cabin, and the rest clean up the blood! Is this a place to do business?”
A flurry of activity ensued, and Dong Enyu was dragged into a small compartment at the back by the man.
Once the door closed, she could only faintly hear the chaotic footsteps outside…
“Beauty, now it’s just you and me.” The man anxiously removed his jeans, half-pressing down on the woman.
The air was filled with the salty smell of seawater and the stench of the man.
Dong Enyu frowned, shaking her head desperately.
“Whether you want it or not, you have to take it.
Don’t worry, be obedient, and I’ll be gentle.” The man said as he tore off the only remaining fabric on Dong Enyu, leaving her in just her underwear.
The gunshot wound on her thigh was particularly glaring, and with her constant resistance, the blood from the wound had stained her entire leg red.
“Mmm! Mmm…” Dong Enyu moved back a few inches, only to be grabbed by the ankle and pulled back, her legs forced apart.
“Be good! They’re discussing business outside, just behave… Oh!” The man was immediately kicked away by Dong Enyu, his body flipping backward and hitting the wooden partition with a loud “bang.”
Dong Enyu couldn’t see anything, only relying on instinct to resist.
She might be down, but she hadn’t fallen so low as to let a scoundrel oppress her.
“Damn it! You damn bitch!” The man wiped the wetness from his nose, the kick had broken his nose, blood dripping down, “Looks like you like it wild? Fine, I’ll play along!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Enyu was yanked up by her hair, lifted like a chick.
Before she could resist, the man threw her against the wall, her forehead hitting something hard, leaving her dazed.
Her legs were pulled, and she resisted monotonously, kicking and retracting her legs, twisting her body like she was treading water.
The man tried to subdue Dong Enyu but was repeatedly kicked away.
After several punches, the man was panting heavily, and Dong Enyu was almost exhausted.
With blood loss, she was clearly in a semi-conscious state.
“Hmph, like a dead fish,” the man spat, lifting Dong Enyu’s right leg, “Should’ve been like this from the start…”
Bang!—
Suddenly, a blinding yellow light, and the man stood dumbfounded.
The cabin door was flung open, and the man standing outside had a face like thunder, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
“Bastard! Making such a racket, trying to tear the ship apart?” The leader irritably ruffled his hair, “Go! Get out there! Don’t embarrass us here! Drag that woman out too! If she’s dead, throw her into the sea!”
The man in the compartment was equally embarrassed, he let go of Dong Enyu’s right leg, quickly bowing and nodding.
Outside, business was being discussed, seemingly interrupted by the noise inside…
“Sorry, my men are all uncultured, they act like wild dogs when there’s a woman around, sorry for the embarrassment.” The leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, apologizing humbly.
He had just sat back down to continue the conversation when the person at the table shook their head.
“Wait.” The person stopped the man who was about to leave, along with the woman he was dragging.
The man was stopped, momentarily at a loss, looking at his own people, then at the person at the table.
In the dim light, a woman in a sharp suit sat at the table, her hands elegantly clasped, legs crossed, her face dignified and exquisite, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Her dark eyes showed no warmth, seemingly approachable, but exuding an aura of authority that made the bodyguards on either side of her pale in comparison.
“Uh… Is there a problem?” The man coughed a few times, thinking he hadn’t offended the other party.
“Where did that woman come from?” The other’s unique husky voice stood out.
The man released Dong Enyu’s arm, letting her fall to the ground like a rag doll.
“She is…” The leader instinctively scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, “Taken from the ship, this woman tried to escape, so our brothers injured her leg and took her as a hostage.
You see, the other cruise ship also has guards and guns, so this is safer for us.”
The man spoke smoothly, but the other party nodded, responding lightly.
“Quick, drag this woman out, don’t let her get in the way!” The man scolded quietly, but the woman at the table suddenly stood up.
“Can I take a look?” The woman’s pale fingers pointed at Dong Enyu.
The leader, though puzzled, still offered her up with both hands, “Please, go ahead.”
High heels clicked on the wooden floor, unhurriedly approaching Dong Enyu, looking down at her pitiful state.
Only underwear covered her, her body bruised and battered, her forehead bleeding dark red, eyes covered, mouth taped shut, hands tied behind her back, the gunshot wound on her thigh ugly, blood overflowing…
Indeed, it was a pitiful sight.
The woman slowly squatted down, reaching out to Dong Enyu’s neck…
“Don’t!” Suddenly, the man shouted, and the woman paused, “Be careful not to dirty your hands.”
The man meant Dong Enyu was filthy with blood, but the woman interpreted it differently.
Dirty?
Her gaze moved from Dong Enyu’s face down to her neck, lingering for a long time.
That silver collar, for some reason, made the woman extremely displeased.
In her eyes, Dong Enyu was never a pure water lily, but a seductive peony…
“Hey! What are you…” The man suddenly exclaimed, seeing the woman tear off the tape from Dong Enyu’s mouth.
A wad of cloth was spat out, and the woman removed the blindfold.
Dizzy and disoriented, Dong Enyu squinted to adjust to the bright light.
Whether it was her head being hit or her eyes playing tricks, the face in front of her was familiar.
That smiling face had once been her support, yet had casually discarded her like trash.
Is it her? Could it be her? Dong Enyu’s dry lips moved, and a monotonous sound came from his throat.
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly pressed against Dong Enyu’s lips, her fingertips slightly cool, with a hint of dominance, stopping Dong Enyu from speaking.
As she traced his lips, her beautiful lips slowly parted, and she quietly whispered, “Shh…”
