Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 680 Shocking News

Xiao Liu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't get out. I can't even tell how big this room is anymore, and I'm completely lost."

Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Liu lying down and asked, "Why did you bring that in?"

Xiao Liu had a mission, and Director Lu assigned him to be in a group with Xiao Wei to protect Xiao Wei's safety. So he carried a gun with him, and the gun butt was sticking out from under his bathrobe, which was a bit short.

Xiao Liu tucked the box away and said, "It's better to be careful. You'll regret it if you lose it. There are plenty of cases of people breaking into bathhouses."

Xiao Wei nodded. He was also afraid of losing things, so he always carried his wallet, watch, and other valuables with him.

Quiet. The curtains swayed gently in the wind. Here, there was no time, no direction, no day or night. In this day and age, people wearing waterproof watches were still quite rare.

About ten minutes later, the woman from before walked over with a string of beautiful women, all dressed rather pitifully, with a string of long, white legs.

The woman smiled and said, "Look, aren't our little sisters pretty? Which one do you like? Why don't we keep a few more? I promise I'll take good care of you."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Wei looked at each of the beauties one by one. Every beautiful girl stared at them with her big, bright eyes, looking at them with hope. Unfortunately, Wang Ziqi was not among them.

Xiao Liu, not knowing which one to point to, said, "That one's good, hey, this one's okay too, which one do you want?"

Xiao Wei smacked his lips and said, "Maybe we should take another look. It feels like something's missing. Sigh." He called out to the woman, and she came closer. Xiao Wei said, "Anyone clean enough? They're all experienced here. No newbies? If not, find someone more mature, like you."

The woman glanced at Xiaowei and said, "I'm not available these days. I do have some new staff, but I'm worried their service won't be up to par. Never mind, I'll go call a few more. If that still doesn't work, then there's nothing I can do."

Xiao Wei said, "It's okay, go call them."

The woman gave a shout, and a group of tall, white-skinned men followed her with a mournful expression. Two of them glared at Xiao Wei; they were the two Xiao Liu had pointed to.

A few minutes later, the woman came over with five more girls. Xiao Wei recognized Wang Ziqi at a glance. She had her head down, was limping, had a red mark on her face, and a numb expression.

The woman clapped her hands and raised her voice, saying, "Heads up, all of you. What did I teach you? Get your heads up and know what you're supposed to do. You only make money when the boss is satisfied, understand?" She turned to look at Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei glanced at the red mark on Wang Ziqi's face, then at the colorful mark on the woman's leg, and said, "Okay, keep two, her and this one." He pointed to Wang Ziqi and another girl who looked like she had just been crying.

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, then these are the ones. They're all new here. Please forgive any shortcomings in their service. Just call me if you need anything. There's a bell by the bed; just pull it and I'll come right over." She pointed to the right corner inside the bed, where a white rope was attached to it.

Xiao Wei nodded, and the woman left with the three girls. Xiao Wei pointed at Wang Ziqi and said, "Come here."

Wang Ziqi frowned slightly, silently walked up to Xiao Wei, and said, "Hello sir, it's a pleasure to serve you." She showed no expression at all. Another girl walked up to Xiao Liu and just stood there without saying a word.

Xiao Wei asked, "Wang Ziqi, did you get beaten up?"

Wang Ziqi's body trembled violently, and she looked up at Xiao Wei in horror.

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "I know you. I came here specifically to see you, but you don't seem to be doing well. What happened?"

Wang Ziqi stared at Xiao Wei without saying a word, and the girl next to her also turned to look at Xiao Wei and Wang Ziqi.

Xiao Wei said, "I came from Brother Long's place. Shi Xiaoyan, Yan Xiaoqi, Miliya, Xiaoli, Xiaoli told me you were here. She was a little worried about you and called you but you didn't reply." Xiao Wei took out the photo and showed it to Wang Ziqi, along with the names and ID numbers written on the back.

Wang Ziqi's tears streamed down her face instantly. She grabbed Xiao Wei and whispered, "Brother, take me with you. I want to go back to Brother Long's."

The girl next to him said, "Don't talk nonsense. If we can't leave, we'll both get beaten to death."

Xiao Wei looked at the girl and asked, "Are you new here too? Tell me what happened."

Wang Ziqi said, "My sister said this place is good, so I came to check it out. But when I arrived, my pager and ID card were confiscated. All I do all day is eat, sleep, and study. Newcomers get beaten every morning and evening. You have to do whatever they tell you to do right away, or you'll get beaten if you're even a little slow. You also have to sleep with them, or they'll hit you if you're not careful."

Xiao Wei asked, "Study? Study what?"

Wang Ziqi glanced nervously at both sides and said, "Learn to laugh, learn to shout, learn to serve others, learn to be obedient. Tuition is five thousand, which will be deducted from your salary later. Clothing is two thousand, which will also be deducted. Food and sleep are thirty a day. After that, everyone has a daily quota. If you don't complete it, you can't sleep, you can't eat, and you won't get any commission. After that, we'll beat you."

Xiao Wei said, "Then why didn't you run?"

Wang Ziqi said, "How can you run around here? Can you find the main gate now? There are still people watching over it. I heard that woman just now didn't keep an eye on her, and the girl said some things she shouldn't have to the customer. Her leg was broken. That girl is still lying in the room now."

Xiao Liu stood up and asked, "What are you going to use to fight? How many of you are there?"

Wang Ziqi said, "Heavy pickaxe handles, billiard cues, light belts, fists, and slaps—I don't know how many of them there are, but there are quite a few."

Xiao Wei said, "Take off your clothes so I can see." He glanced at her thigh and saw a bruise.

Wang Ziqi took off her clothes and turned around, revealing bruises all over her back. The way she hit her was very skilled, but there were no external injuries. Wang Ziqi said, "I was the least injured. I was only hit by a golf club, and it was all from being slapped with a belt. She was hit by a pickaxe handle once." She pointed to the girl next to her.

The girl took off her clothes and turned around, revealing several conspicuous bloodstains on her back, which were indeed shaped like a pickaxe handle.

Xiao Liu asked, "You dare let yourself out here with injuries? Aren't you afraid the customers will notice?"

Wang Ziqi scoffed and said, "Who has time to look at your back? They'd be pouncing on you already. Besides, even if they did, what could they do? Who could stop them?"

The girl hugged her clothes to her chest and said, "Stop talking, just do it. There are only two of them, they can't take us away. If things get out of hand, they won't be able to leave either, and then we're really doomed."

Wang Ziqi said to Xiaowei, "She doesn't do this kind of work. She and that short one from earlier, they were tricked into coming here by an agency to find work, and they were the ones who got beaten the most and the worst."

Xiao Wei asked, "What about when I tricked you into having that?"

Wang Ziqi said, "Let's go. Those who perform well in completing the task can trick someone into replacing them and leave. You can also leave by paying money."
