160: Chapter 160 The Glass House

Li Xingyu suddenly realized something and began to struggle in terror:

"No! Director Ma, I've done meritorious service! You said you would reduce my debt..."

Director Ma laughed loudly: "That's right, reduce your debt—by sending you off to make big money!"

He grabbed Li Xingyu by the hair. "You thought betraying your companions would lead to a good ending? How naive!"

Watching Li Xingyu being dragged away, cold fury ignited in Xiao Bei's eyes. He had to think of a way quickly; if he didn't get the evidence back, they would both be finished.

He had to find a way to contact the outside world, but Director Ma had confiscated both of their phones... He couldn't just run up to them and say:

"Hey! I'm the Deputy County Magistrate! Let us out!"

Xiao Bei's gaze fell on the livestreaming phone—it was still running, and the viewers were frantically spamming, asking about the commotion just now.

A bold plan formed in his mind.

Xiao Bei stood in front of the camera, facing it alone. His back was soaked with cold sweat. He knew that the phone in front of him was the only way to contact the outside world. Before leaving, Director Ma had viciously warned him not to talk nonsense, or else "face the consequences," so he had to be extremely careful; one slight mistake and his life would be over.

The viewers in the livestream were still spamming frantically:

[What was that just now? It was too loud to hear anything clearly.]

[It looked like an argument, where did the young lady go?]

[Domestic violence scene? Unfollowing!]

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He had to use this opportunity. Anyone watching—Bai Yunmo, Qin Ruoxi, or County Magistrate Lin Ruohan—would do...

"Sorry everyone, there was an emergency just now."

Xiao Bei forced a smile at the camera, his mind racing. If he tapped the international SOS distress signal with his fingers, it would be too obvious...

"My girlfriend... Zhang Ning, she suddenly felt unwell and was taken to rest."

The comment section exploded again:

[The young man's voice is so soothing!]

[His hands look so good! But he couldn't be a domestic abuser, right?]

[Did you two have a fight? Why not come with me~]

"It's just that she might have a stomach ache... Our phones, the phones! Right... she broke her phone with the red case when she was in pain, so it looks like I'll have to buy a new one after the stream ends."

Bai Yunmo had said that if there was an emergency, he should click the red button on the phone. Xiao Bei deliberately repeated "phone" several times, and "red" several times, like he was telling a story. He could only gamble on this.

Suddenly, a dazzling full-screen effect flashed:

[User "Big Shot" gifted Super Rocket × 100]

The comment section instantly boiled over:

[Wow! A tycoon!]

[That's 100,000 yuan!]

[The rich beauty has made her move!]

Xiao Bei's heart raced—who could this be?

Before he could respond, noisy sounds came from outside the livestream room door.

"Behave yourselves! It's your good fortune that the boss has taken a fancy to you!"

In a short while, "Big Shot" had gifted over 200,000 yuan, pushing Xiao Bei's account to the top of the daily rankings. The backend operations team reminded Xiao Bei that he could end the livestream.

Meanwhile, on the other side, things were busy as well. Su Yun and another group of girls were "finally" being led into the metal door.

After the security guard entered the password, the metal door slowly opened before Su Yun. Accompanied by the click of the mechanical lock turning, her pupils instantly dilated.

The scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined—this was not a crude operating room or a filthy prison cell. The vulgar livestreaming studio she had imagined didn't exist either. This was an incredibly luxurious, massive space, like a duplex.

"Hurry in! Don't dawdle!"

The security guard behind her gave her a shove.

Su Yun stumbled a few steps, her high heels clicking sharply on the marble floor. Her reporter instincts kicked in immediately; the micro-camera hidden in her bra was running quietly, recording everything.

It was a stark contrast to the mottled walls and crude dormitories outside!

The floor here was paved with imported marble, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and priceless oil paintings hung on the walls. The air was filled with the scent of high-end fragrance, and soft classical music flowed from hidden speakers. Even the most expensive hotel in Canglan City probably couldn't compare to this place.

"This..."

The girl beside Su Yun, Xiao Yun, exclaimed, "Where is this?"

No one answered her. The five selected girls were led into a circular hall, with a dozen doors distributed around it, each labeled with strange numbers—"AF6", "BL37", "BW15"... there was no pattern to follow.

"Line up!"

A woman in a white coat walked over, holding a tablet.

"We will begin the physical examination now."

Su Yun noticed that under the woman's white coat was a designer dress worth tens of thousands, and the diamond watch on her wrist sparkled in the light.

The physical examination process was rough and rapid. The girls were required to stand on electronic scales in nothing but white robes. The woman scrutinized them with the gaze of someone assessing merchandise, recording data on her tablet.

"You, your bust is insufficient. You, your waistline isn't distinct enough."

Her voice was cold. "Only you two qualify."

She pointed at Su Yun and Xiao Yu.

"What about the others?"

A thin girl asked timidly.

The woman in the white coat revealed a meaningful smile:

"There will be other arrangements."

A chill ran up Su Yun's back. She noticed two burly men in black suits standing in the corner of the hall, their eyes scanning everyone vigilantly.

"You two, come with me."

The woman in the white coat signaled for Su Yun and Xiao Yu to follow.

They were led to a door labeled "OO". The woman entered a password on the electronic panel beside the door, and the door slid open silently.

"Go in and wait. Don't try any funny business."

The woman ordered, "Someone will come to pick you up in half an hour."

The door closed behind them. Su Yun quickly looked around. This was a luxury suite. In the center was a luxurious diamond-encrusted leather sofa, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling mirror walls. Champagne and fruit were on the coffee table, and the sound of running water came from the bathroom—there was a small landscape platform in the bathtub; clearly, this bathtub was not meant for bathing.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Xiao Yu asked, trembling. "I thought we were going to have surgery... I even thought about having my kidneys harvested, or forced plastic surgery for promotion..."

Su Yun did not answer. She walked to the mirror and pretended to tidy her hair, while actually checking the mirror surface. Experience told her that this was a one-way mirror, which meant she and Xiao Yu were essentially in a large glass room, while they couldn't see who was outside.

"We are, perhaps, chosen to become major internet celebrities."

Su Yun said loudly on purpose, while observing if there was any chance to escape.
