In the uniquely designed room.
Wafting incense smoke carried an aroma that seemed to stir hormones.
It must be said that with a lone man and woman in this environment, even Liu Xiahui would likely find it hard to maintain composure.
Upon entering the room.
Ye Chen immediately looked up at the corners around him.
Instinctively wanting to check if there were any cameras.
"Are you looking for cameras? Don't worry, there are no cameras installed in the room!"
As if knowing Ye Chen's intention, Xiao Ya said with a somewhat numb expression.
Then, she reached out to take off her clothes.
"What are you doing?" Ye Chen quickly said.
"Don't I need to take off my clothes?" Xiao Ya asked woodenly.
But she didn't seem particularly surprised.
After all, many 'Gods' have their own quirks.
"Help me massage my head first!"
Ye Chen walked to the expensive large bed and lay down.
His head rested at the foot of the bed.
"Massage your head?"
This was the first time Xiao Ya had heard such a request.
In her past encounters, it was usually those impatient, eager people.
However, adhering to the principle that the customer is God, she obediently moved a stool over and began massaging Ye Chen's head.
"Will our conversation be overheard?"
Under Xiao Ya's massage, Ye Chen, with his eyes closed, suddenly asked.
"No, there are no cameras or recording devices installed in the room, why do you ask?" Xiao Ya replied numbly, somewhat startled.
Hearing this, Ye Chen hesitated.
The reason he sought her out was because deep within her eyes and expression, there was still a struggle against resigning herself to fate, which indicated she hadn't been completely domesticated.
After pondering for a moment.
"What did you do before?" Ye Chen asked.
Little did he know this question.
Caused Xiao Ya's massaging movements to stop.
Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry, nor was he surprised.
After a brief moment.
Xiao Ya said bitterly, "Three months ago, I was still in university, a senior. Isn't that surprising?"
"Oh? Then how did you end up working here?" Ye Chen asked again.
Xiao Ya hesitated, her face full of struggle.
The massage resumed, and she suddenly asked strangely, "Are you a good person?"
"Not bad!" Ye Chen thought for a moment before uttering these two words.
Perhaps it was the feeling Ye Chen gave her, which was completely different from the 'Gods' she had encountered in the past.
Or perhaps Ye Chen subtly conveyed a strange sense of closeness.
She, who had always refused to reveal personal information to 'Gods'.
Unexpectedly risked being beaten.
She spoke blankly, "I come from a single-parent family. My brother and I were raised by my Mom alone. My brother is still in his third year of high school. Three months ago, my Mom's health had serious problems. The doctor said she needed 500,000 yuan. But for our family, 500,000 yuan was an astronomical figure. The situation was urgent, so when I found out about a company called Anda Finance Company that could lend money, I went to them!"
"They also lent me 500,000 yuan in one go, just as I wished! I thought I'd give the money to the hospital to save my Mom first, and then I'd slowly find a way outside. But a month passed quickly, and I couldn't think of any way to repay that high-interest loan. Facing such a dead end, I thought about completely abandoning my dignity and doing something I always considered dirty and despicable, which was to find a rich person to be my sugar daddy!"
"But as soon as they heard I needed over 500,000 yuan all at once, they all left. When the repayment date arrived, I couldn't repay the money. Biao Ge from Anda Finance Company had people grab me and take me back to their company. They showed me two videos, one of my brother at school and one of my Mom in the hospital!"
"They gave me two choices: either repay the money immediately or work at Maple Leaf Grand Hotel to pay off the debt, otherwise my brother and my Mom would lose their lives! I had no choice, even though I knew what 'working' meant, I had no choice!"
Hearing Xiao Ya say this.
Ye Chen frowned, "Then after working for so long, how much do you still owe?"
"How much do I owe? It's unrepayable, it will only get more and more!" Xiao Ya said.
Ye Chen had already guessed the reason, but still asked, "Hmm?"
"I was too naive at first, thinking I could repay that high-interest loan by working. But I didn't expect the principal I owed them to accumulate interest daily, compounding every day! And after working for a week, they forcibly injected me with drugs, making me completely addicted, forcing me to buy drugs from them. With drugs on one side and compounding interest on the other, do you think it's possible to repay?"
Tears falling unconsciously, Xiao Ya's choked voice was full of despair.
"Didn't you think about escaping?" Ye Chen asked.
"I did, and I tried to escape. Last time, Xiao Qin and I escaped together one night, but within half an hour, their people caught up. I was so scared I collapsed on the ground. Xiao Qin still wanted to escape, but Biao Ge hit her with a car and killed her! After I was caught and severely beaten, they threatened me, saying if I dared to escape again, my Mom and my brother would die!" Xiao Ya said.
Her choked voice continued, "They, they can do anything. In these three months, besides Xiao Qin, two other girls were beaten to death. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Xiao Ya's voice stopped here.
Ye Chen also fell silent.
The entire room was plunged into dead silence.
After a long time, Ye Chen finally said, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell others about this? If the people at Maple Leaf Grand Hotel find out, aren't you afraid you'll lose your life?"
"I am afraid, but I also want to gamble one last time, because I have no possibility of escaping unless the power of Maple Leaf Grand Hotel is dismantled, unless I am rescued by the police!"
Xiao Ya stopped massaging again, looking up at the ceiling and saying blankly.
Hearing this, Ye Chen knew why she had died in his previous life.
Because in his previous life, she hadn't met him, and these words were spoken in misjudgment to someone else..
The consequence of these words being leaked was her body being buried in concrete.
"What kind of car was Biao Ge driving when he hit and killed Xiao Qin? Do you still remember the license plate number?" Ye Chen asked.
"A black Toyota Highlander, the license plate number is Jiang AJ311K!" Xiao Ya blurted out without thinking.
As her voice fell.
She shivered and asked again, "You, are you a police officer investigating Maple Leaf Grand Hotel?"
At this moment.
Asked by Ye Chen's question.
Xiao Ya seemed to have ignited a glimmer of hope.
"These words you told me today, it's best not to mention them to any other stranger, unless they are the head of the inspection team! Also, mess up this room a bit, well, make it look like the service is over, and then you go out and say the service package I wanted was the third tier, 38,000 yuan. I'm going to take a shower, and I'll go out after I'm done!"
After saying this, he didn't give Xiao Ya another chance to be stunned.
Ye Chen walked towards the bathroom.
