C19 Zhou Yingxue Was Tied up Again.!

After Xiao Qiang left, Lih Qingcheng pressed her hands together beneath her chin, deep in thought.

'Is it possible she's not related to the Zhou family?'

'Was her rescue last time merely a fluke?'

No, it was too early to draw any conclusions. The Zhou family's response would be telling.

Following Qin Xiaoliu's report, Lih Qingcheng had resolved to test the waters.

Naturally, she wasn't foolish enough to challenge the Zhou family head-on.

She discreetly had her subordinates leak to the people of Silver City that Zhou Yingxue was the esteemed daughter of the Zhou family from Cloud City.

The Feng family of Silver City and the Zhou family were sworn enemies. Zhou Yingxue would not come out unscathed this time, perhaps even severely so.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yingxue was actually the Zhou family's young mistress, Lih Qingcheng stood to gain.

If true, the Zhou family wouldn't trace the leak back to her.

If false, then letting Silver City's people eliminate Zhou Yingxue would rid her of a rival for Lin Feng's affections.

Her thoughts then shifted back to Qin Xiaoliu.

"That rascal, I tasked him with watching Zhou Yingxue, and now he's off gallivanting who knows where."

"Not a peep from him about such a major development; he's becoming quite the handful."

She recalled Qin Xiaoliu's gaze from earlier that day, and a slight smile played at the corners of her mouth.

...

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Cloud City, inside a derelict office building, five burly men huddled together.

In the center, a stool stood.

Tied to it were two strikingly different beauties.

One was clad in a white dress, her lustrous black hair cascading freely over her shoulders, stark against her translucent, snow-like skin.

Her visage was angelic, pure and ethereal.

Willow-leaf eyebrows framed her long, quivering lashes.

Her nose was straight and delicate.

Her lips, a pair of budding petals, were tinged with the softest red.

She exuded the serene grace of an autumn orchid, a vision to behold.

The other, though not as striking, was undeniably beautiful.

She had a figure that was devilishly enticing, with a head of wavy golden curls that glinted brilliantly.

Her slender legs were showcased by a goose-yellow micro-mini skirt, accentuating her flawless physique.

Thick lashes framed her bewitching eyes, and her full, sensuous lips exuded an irresistible allure.

Among the two, one was as pristine as a lotus, the other as fiery as a rose.

The five onlookers couldn't help but gulp at the stunning sight before them.

"Boss, which one is the Zhou family's young miss?"

Scarface, the boss, shook his head.

"I'm not sure. The informant didn't provide a photo."

"We'll have to wait until they wake up to ask."

Another man adjusted himself and suggested.

"These two are incredibly tempting. Maybe we could..."

Scarface turned and shot him a warning look.

"Remember why we're here,"

"Cross Young Master Feng, and we're as good as dead."

He then addressed another associate.

"Three, did you find anything valuable among their belongings?"

The man known as Three shook his head.

"Nothing useful turned up."

"But I haven't checked the two parcels Tiger brought back yet."

"Should we open them?"

Three inquired.

"Yeah, open them up. Let's see if we can figure out which one is the Zhou heiress."

Scarface commanded.

With that, Three picked up a package.

He drew a dagger from his belt and sliced the package open, spilling its contents.

The group was left speechless by the items that tumbled out.

"These ladies sure know how to have fun."

Tiger approached and picked up one of the objects.

It was a long item with a button at the base that, when pressed, made it move.

Clearly, it was a replica of a certain organ.

There was also a pink ball connected by a string to another button.

"Holy smokes, is that the infamous Jumping Egg?"

Tiger remarked.

At that moment, Three was utterly baffled.

"Boss, do we need to bother with the other package?"

He confronted Scarface.

"What's the big idea here? Look at yourselves, eyes all bloodshot."

"Like a bunch of dogs in heat."

Scarface spoke with a tone of frustrated disappointment.

"Come on, big brother, it's not our fault."

"Can you blame us when those girls are so damn irresistible?"

The other two grumbled to Scarface.

Scarface had to admit, they were right; these girls outshone any TV star.

Any man with a pulse would feel the urge.

Especially guys like us, who live on the edge.

Then, with a smug look, he addressed his crew.

"Once we figure out which one is the Zhou family's young miss..."

"The rest of us will take care of the other one!"

The words left the other four with grins of anticipation.

"Finally, big brother, that's what I've been waiting to hear."

"I've been itching to get this started."

"Big brother goes first, then the four of us will have our turn."

"Done deal, then."

"Now, I'm curious if these sex toys were bought by the Zhou heiress or the other one."

"If it wasn't the Zhou heiress, we're in for a treat later on."

The four men eagerly continued their lewd conversation.

Suddenly, there was a rustle from the chairs.

Zhou Yingxue's eyes fluttered open, her gaze drifting around in bewilderment.

'Where am I?'

Her head spun.

'Why am I so weak?'

With that thought, she tried to rise.

But her feet wouldn't budge.

She attempted to reach down to her feet.

A jolt of pain shot through her wrists.

Looking down, she saw her hands bound behind her with coarse hemp rope.

Struggling, Zhou Yingxue managed to turn her head.

She saw Zhao Wan'er, similarly restrained.

She shook her head, trying to clear it, and forced her eyes open again.

That's when she noticed the five men in black surrounding her.

"Ah!" she screamed, her voice quivering with terror.

"Who are you, and what have you done to Wan'er and me?"

Tiger, eyeing the freshly awakened Zhou Yingxue with a vile grin, taunted her.

"I wouldn't dream of telling you that we're here to snatch the Zhou family's precious daughter."

"As for what we've done to you..."

"Hehehe..."

With a hearty slap, Scarface smacked Tiger on the head.

"Damn it, what are you babbling about? We've got serious business here."

He then turned his attention to Zhou Yingxue.

"Listen up, young lady, we're here to find the Zhou family's young miss."

"Just tell me if you're the Zhou family's eldest daughter. Don't concern yourself with anything else."

Upon hearing the mention of the Zhou family's young miss, Zhou Yingxue steeled her nerves.

She began to rack her brain, wondering if she had inadvertently given herself away.

Someone knows my identity.

Qin Xiaoliu, could he be the one who spilled the beans?

Hmph, that treacherous cur.

Wait a minute, that doesn't add up. If Qin Xiaoliu had leaked the information, they wouldn't be in the dark about me being the Zhou family's young mistress.

Could it be someone else?

"Hey, girl, snap out of it. Our boss is talking to you!" Third barked impatiently.
