Chapter 513 Challenge a duel!
Jiang Zhen laughed. "Oh dear, it's not just any chemicals. They make you forget all your pain. They make you float in the sky with happiness. Who doesn't want a life like that?"
"Then why do they want to run away from these drugs if it makes them so happy?"
He sighed. "Because they don't have money for it. Good things don't come for free. No money, so no drugs, and no drugs so they are suffering like this. They don't want to suffer this pain, and they want to run away. But I cannot let them."
Lihua clenched her fist. "You are destroying their life like this, but you don't feel an ounce of regret!"
"I get money, what else would I need?"
Through the glass pane, Lihua looked at the helpless people begging for either drugs or let them go. The pain was unbearable to watch. There were a few women among them too, whose condition was even worse than the men. They had become too thin and weak. Their eyes seemed as if they lost all their light.
Lihua glared at him. "At least…at least let the women go."
Jiang Zhen tilted his head. "Are you serious? Women? They are more important than men dear. Those who cannot pay for drugs anymore and become useless are sold of as prostitutes."
She froze.
His eyes twinkled with amusement. "Now that I remember, I brought you at such a right time. There is going to be an auction held today. Women from here and some other bases are going to be sold off to some clients. Why don't you witness it too? It will be fun."
"You…what do you think women are?"
"Play toys?" He carelessly answered. "They are wasted now. But some clients have taste for all kinds of women. You never know."
After the gruesome torture of the drug addicts, Jiang Zhen took her to a place that was roaring with cheers and laughter. They were on the third floor, witnessing the commotion down.
Lihua took a glance and was shocked to see some familiar faces. They were all senior business executives and managers from some well known companies whom she had met before in a few banquets with Wei. She recognized some faces while some were completely stranger to her.
"See? This is the place where people take off their masks," Jiang Zhen smiled. "They are responsible and hard working employees during the day, but when the hours are over, they let out their innermost desires. All of these 'respectful' people here are to buy women to warm their beds."
Ruru was frightened by the loud noise, and he clung onto Lihua even tighter.
Jiang Zhen coldly said, "What the hell are you getting so scared about? You should be getting used to it. And what the fuck is with that plushie toy? Throw it away."
Ruru paled, and tears filled his eyes. He protectively clutched onto his bear. Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth and went to grab his bear, but Lihua pushed him away. "Don't you dare touch him!"
Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes. He threateningly took a few steps. Lihua grabbed a glass of wine off the table beside them and splashed it on his face. Then she broke the tip of the glass and pointed its sharp edge at him. "Take one step towards Ruru, and I will poke your eye with this!"
Ruru raised his head and saw her hand slightly shaking. But the fierceness in her eyes brought warmth in the little boy's chest.
Wine dripped down from his hair, and he wiped his forehead with his handkerchief. "Any other woman, and she would have died on the spot for such audacity," he smiled, "But you are special. I am impressed you found a weapon at the last moment. Even though you wouldn't be able to touch me with that glass, I still admire your confidence."
His dark swept past Ruru. "Don't think you can always hide her behind like this."
Ruru trembled.
Jiang Zhen took his seat. "Sit down. The auction is gonna start at any moment."
Lihua didn't let go of the glass as she held onto Ruru. She remained standing. "This might be entertainment for you, not for me."
"Suit yourself," he shrugged.
On the stage, a man came up holding a mike in his hands. "Gentlemen, let's begin today's auction. I assure you that today's competition will be an intense one. We have a lineup of many beauties with us~"
"Wooooo!"
"Come on. Stop with the chit chat and begin already."
"Bring the women!"
The first woman was brought on the stage, who seemed tipsy and dizzy. She was one of the captives of Jiang Zhen's base.
"Oooooo I like her."
"Her hair looks so smooth~"
"Wait don't you see how awesome her breasts are! Wonder how it would feel in my palms…"
"Heh! Keep dreaming. Because I am buying her!"
"1 million!"
The emcee brightened. "And we have got our first bid. 1 million!"
"1.5 million!"
"2 million!"
"2.5 million!"
"Anybody wants to bid for more than 2.5 million?"
"3 million!"
The emcee chuckled. "It's just the first woman and the price has already reached 3 million. Alright then 3 million one, 3 million two and…three million three! Sold!"
The client who won the woman laughed and was extremely satisfied.
On the third floor, Lihua was horrified at witnessing such blatant violation of humanity.
Jiang Zhen calmly said, "Don't get so agitated. This is just the beginning. You don't know how far clients can bid."
"Five million!"
"Seven million!"
"Ten million!"
One by one the women got auctioned off. A few of them in their senses cried for help, but people were only enjoying their plight. The women were beaten up and chained.
As the last woman got auctioned off, the emcee said, "That's it for today. You will be notified of the next auction-"
"Stop it!"
Jiang Zhen widened his eyes as he didn't even realize when Lihua climbed down to the floor where the auction was held.
She faced all the men, staring at her in bewilderment. She stretched her arm and pointed her finger at everyone. "I condemn this disgusting auction! I challenge all of you to a duel. If I win against all the men who bought the women, then you would free them in exchange!"
