"Being outnumbered, in an instant, she was violently subdued, forced down into the bathtub.

The warm water drowned her, her body struggling fiercely, the air in her lungs steadily depleting. The sensation of suffocation made her feel like she was facing her death tonight.

"Cough! Huff, huff..." Changge was pulled out of the water, both eyes tightly shut as she sucked in air desperately. Before she could even calm her pounding heart, her head was forced down into the water once more.

The water in the bathtub frothed and bubbled, splashing wildly, but at the brink of death, those women backed off from her.

Trembling and weak, she leaned against the bathtub. One woman, her nose bleeding where she'd been hit, gave a cold sneer. "You’ve only got yourself to blame for the consequences of refusing to show respect!"

That woman, holding her nose, standing next to the washbasin, said coolly, "Clean her up!"

After some time, when she was cleaned and the duct tape on her mouth was ripped off, her eyes reddened as she asked immediately, "Who are you people? Why did you bring me here?"

The woman whom she had kicked till her nose was bleeding, stared at her in reply, her voice ominous, "When you meet the young master, keep your voice down. Just behave and listen obediently, else, you'll taste the consequences of disobedience!"

Her body shivered in fear. Young master? Had he been the one who brought her here? Changge thought hard, she hadn't offended anyone recently.

After being thoroughly cleaned, her body moistened with fragrant lotion, she was then donned in a sheer, almost transparent sleeping gown. Frowning, Changge questioned through gritted teeth, "What about the underwear?"

Her question met with silence. They wound a large bath towel around her exterior, and only then did they escort her out of the room, back to the bedroom. Standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, was an unexpected man!

She quickly tightened the bath towel around her, shocked at the appearance of a man in the bedroom, considering her current state of undress. At that moment, Changge had never felt more endangered.

Her pupils shrank, her mind reeling, contemplating the possibility of escape when, without mercy, someone yanked off the towel covering her as a woman's cold voice rang out: "Young master, she's ready!"

Instinctively, Changge immediately tried to cover herself with her arms while glaring at the man's back. He was the so-called young master!

The man elegantly waved his hand, dismissing the women in his room one by one. The door was gently closed, leaving complete silence."

Chang Ge slowly walked barefoot towards the bed, yanked off the thin quilt on it, and wrapped herself in it, asking bewilderedly, "Who are you, really? Why did you bring me here? What are you after?"

The bedroom was dimly lit. Outside the window in front of him was a far-off cityscape of brightly lit towers scattered around. Observing quietly, Chang Ge was convinced that the colorful high rises looked quite distant yet remarkably low. Could this place be up in the mountains?

"Hmm...you sure know how to keep your cool!" A man’s deep, magnetic voice echoed around the room as he simultaneously turned around. Beneath the hazy yellow light, his wicked, fairly dominant gaze swept over her, which caused Chang Ge to involuntarily step back!

His thin, rose-red lips revealed a wicked smile, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing that her face no longer held the naivety of her younger years, he slowly approached her. His movements were reminiscent of an imperial cheetah—predatory yet graceful. Standing in front of her, he said, "Shen Chang Ge, I need your body!"

What did he just say? He needs her body?

Chang Ge reflexively tightened her hold on the quilt, backing away until there was nowhere left to retreat, her back pressed firmly against the wall.

"Don't even think about it!" Chang Ge glared at the man, gritting her teeth. She wished she could kill him with her gaze alone, but reason reminded her that there was probably no escaping tonight!

"Shen Chang Ge, understand this. I am not negotiating with you! Take off the quilt!" The man closed in step by step, making her breathing grow more and more rapid!

A snap of his fingers, and the room plunged into darkness, save for the weak beams of light filtering through the floor-to-ceiling window. His figure slowly neared her, like a proud cheetah in the pitch-black night.

"Stay... Stay away!"
