She gently picked up the long dress, and the hem flowed like water from her hands. Ling Xue slowly put on the gown, its fitted design accentuating her exquisite figure. Turning around, she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, her back exposed to the air, radiating a unique allure. Her long hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, complementing the black dress and adding to her charm.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the club was tense and subtle. A portly old man, resembling a boss, entered the hall accompanied by Hong Er Jie. Sister Ping, unaware of the situation, had brought Ling Xue along. Upon seeing this, Hong Er Jie furrowed her brows and whispered reproachfully, "Why did you bring her here? Didn’t I just say that Tiger Brother has a preference? This sister just arrived and knows nothing."
Sister Ping's face turned awkward as she was about to explain, but the lecherous old man's gaze suddenly fixated on Ling Xue. His eyes sparkled with ill intentions as he insisted on having Ling Xue accompany him. A wave of disgust surged within Ling Xue, causing her to instinctively take a few steps back.
Hong Er Jie quickly interjected, "Boss, this sister just arrived and doesn’t understand the rules yet. I’ll have someone bring over another batch of girls right away; I’m sure you’ll be satisfied. You can have your fun however you like; this place is soundproofed and has watchmen—there won’t be any issues." As she spoke, Hong Er Jie signaled for someone to hurry and fetch more girls.
However, the old man persisted stubbornly, "I want her; I’m not interested in anyone else."
Ling Xue bit her lip, suppressing her anger as she said, "I’m only here to serve drinks; I can’t do anything else."
The old man smirked lewdly, "Serving drinks is fine; just come over here."
Ling Xue stood her ground, her eyes filled with resistance. Hong Er Jie hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Boss, please don’t be angry. This sister truly doesn’t understand yet. Why don’t you take a look at the new girls we brought? There might be someone more to your liking."
The old man frowned in displeasure and replied, "Hmph! I find this little girl quite appealing. What do you mean by this? Are you not giving me face?"
Hong Er Jie quickly smiled apologetically: "Boss, how could that be? This sister really doesn’t know better; please forgive her ignorance. I assure you that the new girls will definitely satisfy you."
Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Xue said, "I really can only serve drinks; I can’t do anything else. You should choose someone else."
The old man’s expression darkened: "You little girl, don’t be so clueless. Who comes here without following orders? As for Tiger Brother’s preferences, I’ll handle that myself; you just focus on drinking with me." His tone was firm and left no room for refusal. Ling Xue felt helpless; knowing resistance was futile, she slowly moved forward toward the table where drinks were served. The gazes around her felt like needles on her back, intensifying her discomfort. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her dress as she took a deep breath to calm herself down. Each step toward the table felt like walking on pins—painful and arduous. When she finally sat down, she forced a smile in an attempt to appear natural; however, the glint of anxiety and unease in her eyes betrayed her true feelings. The old man noticed this and chuckled inwardly but feigned nonchalance as he patted the table: "Come on now, don’t be nervous! We’re just here for some fun!" With that, he handed Ling Xue a glass of liquor.
Ling Xue accepted it with trembling hands but managed to suppress her inner fear as she took a small sip. Those around her displayed a mix of sympathy and anticipation in their expressions while Hong Er Jie anxiously observed the old man's reaction, silently praying for this turmoil to subside quickly.
Hong Er Jie hurriedly sent someone to urge the new girls to come faster. Soon after, a group of flamboyantly dressed women was brought in. After much persuasion from Hong Er Jie, the old man finally agreed to choose a few from among them. They then all entered a private room together.
Inside the dimly lit room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, the old man boldly sat in the center of the sofa while several women surrounded him with flirtatious laughter and flattery. One woman dressed provocatively swayed her hips as she offered him a drink sweetly saying, "Boss, have a drink." The old man laughed heartily as he pulled her close and kissed her cheek. Another woman carefully fed him fruit with an adoring gaze while his hands roamed over their bodies without resistance as they continued to cater to his every whim.
Ling Xue stood at a distance listening to the muffled sounds coming from within the room, filled with anger and helplessness. She knew too well that within this dark place lay countless evils taking place.
