Chapter 76: Utterly Humiliated and Tormented
Fu Hanyan—was he not the heir to the Fu family, the largest and most influential family in Lingcheng, with deep business ties to the Xiao family?
Xiao Xiao had seen him a few times at the banquets hosted by her mother to maintain relations with the Fu family. He always struck her as cold and unapproachable, making her hesitant to engage with him outside of those formal gatherings. How on earth did he know Gu Yicing?
Despite her confusion, there was no time to ponder. She hastily answered the call from Fu Hanyan on Gu Yicing's phone.
"Hello... Uncle, I'm not Gu Yicing. It's Xiao Xiao," she said, her voice slightly nervous.
"Who?" Fu Hanyan asked, his tone icy.
Xiao Xiao felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. For him to forget even her name was a crushing blow. "I'm the young lady from Xiao Entertainment, Xiao Xiao. My mom is Xiao Yan."
"Oh, it's you. Why is Gu Yicing's phone with you?" Fu Hanyan frowned, a hint of annoyance creeping into his voice.
"I'm good friends with Ning Ning. We were supposed to meet at the school gate, but when I got there, a man took her away, and her phone fell to the ground," Xiao Xiao explained hurriedly.
"A man? What kind of man?" Fu Hanyan's expression turned grim, a chilling aura emanating from him.
"I don't know. He was tall and strong, wearing a baseball cap. Could he be her boyfriend?" Xiao Xiao speculated, though the doubt lingered in her mind.
"Bring the phone to the Fu family mansion," Fu Hanyan commanded abruptly.
Before she could respond, he hung up with a sharp click.
What a cold and distant man.
Xiao Xiao shivered involuntarily, her thoughts racing. But she couldn't help but wonder about the relationship between Fu Hanyan and Gu Yicing; he seemed genuinely concerned about her well-being.
Meanwhile, after hanging up, Fu Hanyan immediately summoned Li Feng into his office.
"Find out Gu Yicing's whereabouts," he ordered, his voice steady but filled with urgency.
"Yes, Young Master," Li Feng replied. Although he didn't understand why the Young Master was so keen on tracking down the Young Madam's movements, the tension on Fu Hanyan's face suggested something serious had occurred.
Li Feng quickly dispatched the Fu family's bodyguards to comb the entire Lingcheng area in search of Gu Yicing.
In a nondescript private club, Gu Yicing was unceremoniously thrown into a themed private room.
The room was bizarrely decorated, featuring a circular waterbed as its centerpiece. Surrounding the bed were four hidden compartments, each equipped with retractable handcuffs that could snap out at the push of a button. Above the bed, a mirror was embedded in the ceiling, offering a full view of the scene unfolding below.
This themed room was designed to cater to the twisted pleasures of wealthy clients, catering to their most perverse desires.
When Gu Yicing regained consciousness, she found herself restrained, her arms and legs spread wide, bound by the handcuffs.
As she opened her eyes, her gaze fell upon the ceiling. The reflection in the mirror showed her flushed face, her dress partially unbuttoned, revealing a glimpse of delicate skin.
Her silky hair spilled over the water-blue bed, creating an alluring spectacle. If not for the large birthmark on her face, she might have resembled an enchanting seductress capable of driving men wild with desire.
However, a wave of discomfort surged through her body, creeping up from her feet to her scalp, as if countless fiery ants were gnawing at her skin. The sensation was unbearable.
Surrounding the bed were several men, their eyes gleaming with malicious delight as they watched her, as if she were a rare treasure on display.
"What an enticing figure," one of them remarked, grinning. "Such a shame about her face—she's not the prettiest, but that won't stop us from having our fun."
This scene mirrored the memories of the past, flooding back with relentless fury. Gu Yicing clenched her teeth in hatred; she vowed not to let them have the slightest chance to take advantage of her this time.
"Who sent you?" Gu Yicing demanded, biting her lip defiantly.
