Chapter 748: Black Market Auction
Su Wan did not know how many vehicles she had pa.s.sed through on the way, but she only knew that she had been busy for the whole day.
Su Wan was very hungry. This time, she did not receive the same preferential treatment as last time. She was drinking porridge with other girls.
The taste was terrible, but in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, Su Wan still tried her best to finish them all.
After the porridge, everyone in the cabin was blindfolded, handcuffed, and boarded a maglev car.
Su Wan couldn’t see anything, so she could only clench her hands to comfort and cheer herself on.
In the darkness, fear spread in people’s hearts.
Faint cries could be heard everywhere. Su Wan didn’t know how long those young and beautiful girls had been kidnapped, but no matter how long, panic was inevitable.
…
After getting out of the car, Su Wan was pulled into an unknown place. She felt that she was weightless. She should have taken the elevator.
After arriving at the destination, Su Wan’s blindfold was removed and the handcuffs were removed.
The girls next to her were huddled together, trembling as if they were sure that today was the day they would die.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She swept her gaze across those young girls who were filled with despair. Similarly, she did not know what to do.
According to Aunt He, it was obvious that the evil auction was about to begin.
Su Wan did not think of escaping during the auction.
That was because she only took a quick glance and noticed that there were armed mercenaries around her. They were lined up in rows and looked as fierce as door G.o.ds.
She was very sure that she would not be able to escape.
Therefore, Su Wan had a hope that when she was leaving with the buyer, she would first pretend to obey and then take the opportunity to escape when the other party had let down their guard.
After all, Su Wan looked like she had thin arms and legs. After the buyer bought her, he probably would not be so careful.
Su Wan knew that this thought was very naive, but other than that, she could not think of any other way to save herself.
Just as Su Wan was thinking about it, Aunt He suddenly came to look for her personally. She held a box in her hand and said to Su Wan in an extremely cold tone.
“You’re going on stage later. Go and change.”
Su Wan’s fingers clenched tightly, and her fingertips began to turn white. She had seen many crying girls being pulled out earlier.
Su Wan knew very clearly that it would be her turn sooner or later, but she did not want to face it yet.
Seeing that Su Wan was unwilling to accept the thing in her hand, Aunt He curled her lips and sneered at Su Wan.
“I’m very good to you. If you don’t wear this, then I won’t give you clothes to wear. Heh, if you don’t mind going on stage naked, I think I can raise the price a little.”
The veins on Su Wan’s forehead were throbbing. She opened the box and realized that inside was a modified Cheongsam.
The Cheongsam was cinnabar red. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and there were also a few delicate white plums embroidered on it. The branches and leaves were slanted, and the flowers were jade-white and cute, adding a little elegance.
However, the design of this Cheongsam was very bold. It was not wrapped around the neck, but revealed the shoulders, with vermillion ta.s.sels hanging down.
The slit at the bottom of the Cheongsam was also very high. Su Wan could think of the legs that were faintly visible when the wearer walked.
Su Wan was silent for a moment, then she quickly nodded.
“I’ll wear it.”
She had no choice but to lower her head under the eaves, revealing her shoulders and legs. It was still within the acceptable range. Earlier, when she saw the attire of those girls, it was unsightly.
…
When Su Wan changed her clothes and came out, she saw Aunt He looking at her with a smile. It was obvious that she was extremely satisfied with her appearance.
The few people around her were also staring at Su Wan, unable to take their eyes off her.
The Cheongsam was a close-fitting style. Su Wan’s collarbone was very beautiful, and her skin was white. Although she was wearing the reddest and most gorgeous dress, Su Wan’s expression was n.o.ble and cold, unapproachable.
Such a contradictory temperament was highlighted, making people even more eager to climb up the ladder.
Aunt He sent a professional makeup artist to help Su Wan with her makeup. Su Wan was sitting upright. Just as she was about to finish her makeup, she suddenly felt that the other party had given her an injection.
The feeling of the needle piercing into her skin caused a slight pain.
Su Wan’s eyes suddenly widened. She subconsciously wanted to push the person who had given her the injection.
However, in just one or two seconds, her body was weak and she could not exert any strength. She even found it difficult to speak.
Aunt He looked pleased when she saw Su Wan’s expression. She poked Su Wan with her hand, and the sarcasm in her eyes was undisguised.
“Miss Su, you don’t have to be afraid. I just want you to be obedient.”
Su Wan was so angry that her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. However, Aunt He was still smiling. Then, she began to order others to tie Su Wan up.
The other party was Su Wan, who was tied with a red ribbon. In the end, she even tied a bow around Su Wan’s waist. It was so beautiful that it made Su Wan feel disgusted.
Su Wan was finally locked in an exquisite golden cage, and then she was covered with a black cloth.
In an instant, Su Wan could not see anything clearly.
Su Wan only felt that she could not exert any strength. The ribbons that were tied to her did not seem to be firm, but Su Wan could not break free at all.
The darkness magnified the fear.
Su Wan could already hear the rustling sounds coming from outside. Su Wan felt weightless again.
It was likely that the golden cage had been lowered from the dome. Although the speed of the lowering was not fast, it was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wan felt that the entire golden cage had safely fallen to the ground.
Although the entire golden cage was covered with a black cloth, Su Wan could feel that the lights were very bright here. If the black cloth was removed, the surroundings would probably be brightly lit.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. Su Wan could even hear her own heartbeat. Because she was too worried about what was going to happen, a thin layer of sweat oozed out from her forehead.
The feeling of sweat dripping down her face was a little itchy.
The only thing that Su Wan was glad about was that Aunt He only gave her drugs to make her weak and did not give her any cheap stimulants.
She definitely did not want to be like a shameless beast in front of everyone.
Although there was no sound from all directions, Su Wan was very sure that there were people everywhere. Those people were probably sitting in the VIP room, looking at her through the one-way gla.s.s.
This kind of occasion was definitely not something that people of all walks of life could come to. Most of the guests here must be rich and n.o.ble. They must be very wealthy to have the money to squander in this kind of black market.
Just as Su Wan’s thoughts were in turmoil, she suddenly heard the charming voice of the female host.
“Next, we will be auctioning off the most exciting item in this auction! That is a rare gift in the world, called ‘bird in a cage’! I hope you will like it.”
As soon as the host finished speaking, Su Wan felt the black cloth on the cage being slowly lifted.
An extremely young girl was lying in the cage, her figure slightly curled up. Her long black hair that looked like a waterfall spread all over her body, making her skin look even more like jade.
