CHAPTER 623: CHAPTER 623: CHAOS OF DEMONS

When Tang Zhongwei opened her eyes, her mind was not completely clear. The consequence of overdosing on the drug made her head dizzy, her thinking seemingly frozen. Her whole being felt like a rusted clockwork, her mind creaking and groaning. Fortunately, this state didn’t last long, and she quickly snapped out of it.

Looking at the demonic environment around her and the restraints on her body, it was easy to guess what had happened. What Tang Zhongwei didn’t anticipate was that such a scenario, seemingly only appearing in TV dramas and movies, would actually happen to her.

"Who are you? Who sent you to capture me? What do you want from me?" Tang Zhongwei looked at the person clearly in charge, sitting surrounded by others, and asked.

"You’ve got guts, lady, seeing us like this and not only are you not scared, but you ask us questions. How interesting," a man sitting next to Diao Ge jabbed him with an elbow and said mockingly.

Diao Ge sucked the last bit of noodles into his mouth, turned to look at Tang Zhongwei, gazed at her face, shook his head, and said, "I don’t like this one. Whoever wants her can have her after this deal is done. Just don’t play her to death. If she’s alive, she can be sold again."

"The Boss is still not a fan of tender flesh," someone quipped.

Tang Zhongwei felt as if she’d been struck by lightning after hearing Diao Ge’s words. It took her a while to process what Diao Ge had just said.

"What are you going to do to me?" Tang Zhongwei asked, her voice tight.

"Don’t worry, even though Diao Ge doesn’t appreciate tender flesh, the brothers here will take good care of you. You know, looking at that delicate skin of yours makes me quite hungry," a man came over, pinched Tang Zhongwei’s cheek, eyes narrowing slightly in satisfaction at her texture.

The man even rubbed his fingers together, savoring the sensation.

"This one is indeed better looking, much prettier than those online influencers I’ve seen. I’m really fed up with those online influencers; they look like fairies on the phone, but in person, they’re a disaster. I can’t believe I blew money on making them famous, damn," someone said, looking at Tang Zhongwei, then took out his phone, flipping through his photo album.

"I told you earlier, the women online are nothing, but you didn’t believe me and had to try yourself. After trying one and not giving up, you tried again. If you had saved the money you spent on online influencers, it’d be enough to sleep with a celebrity. Aren’t celebrities better than influencers?" someone lit a cigarette, criticizing the brother who had complained earlier.

"I finally get it now. Celebrities and influencers, what’s so great about them? Honestly, the girl we saw yesterday was the prettiest, like a little fairy. It’s a pity her bodyguard was always around; otherwise, I’d have brought her back as my wife," the man who had been talking about influencers said, rubbing his nose fiercely.

At this point, Diao Ge, who had been silent and smoking on the side, spoke up. "I’ll give you two hundred thousand, but none of you touch Yu Xia. When bringing her back, be gentle, and behave yourselves. No messing around."

Diao Ge’s words livened up the warehouse. Each of the rough men’s faces lit up with eager gossip. "Boss, what do you mean by that? Have you taken a fancy to that girl?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, our Diao Ge must be interested, otherwise, why would he specifically urge this? Think back, have any girls we’ve dealt with before received such words from Diao Ge? If Diao Ge is considerate of her, he must like her. If he didn’t, why care for her like this?" someone analyzed earnestly in front of Diao Ge.

"Old Four makes sense. I vote for Old Four. I never thought I’d see the day when our Diao Ge has desires. Heaven knows I always thought Diao Ge was indifferent," someone made a prayer gesture, teasingly commenting.

"Stop joking around. Just remember what I said," Diao Ge, although a rugged man with a coarse shell, couldn’t withstand the teasing from those around him. His bronze skin didn’t show a blush easily, but Diao Ge felt like his face was fully cooked.

"Don’t worry, the brothers know the score. We won’t be disrespectful to our sister-in-law," someone promised loudly.

Tang Zhongwei was listening to their conversation with a nervous heart, but as she listened, jealousy began to overcome her. Clearly, they were all captured, so why was she to be played with by these vile men, while another was protected? Weren’t they all prisoners? Why was the treatment different for prisoners? Why? Tang Zhongwei thought indignantly.

"Are you looking for Yu Xia?" Tang Zhongwei interjected.

"So what if we are? Don’t think about negotiating or escaping; it’s useless. Once you’re in our hands, unless we decide to let you go, you can’t escape," someone approached, looking at Tang Zhongwei as they spoke.

"You misunderstand, I’m not thinking of running away. I just want to bring her to you," Tang Zhongwei said, displaying a pleasing smile.

"Bring her to us? You don’t think saying that will spare you, do you?"

"I don’t want any reward. As long as you successfully capture Yu Xia, that’s enough for me."

"What are you thinking? Aren’t you living under the same roof? Why would you want us to catch her? Do you not get along?" the person who had mentioned influencers earlier came over, looking at Tang Zhongwei with a puzzled expression.

"You wouldn’t understand this feeling. We may live under the same roof, but why does she always have better luck than me? At home, she is the beloved sister of both my cousin and cousin-in-law, and even when kidnapped by you, I’m the first to suffer. Why is it that we’re both sisters, yet our fates are so different? Where am I worse than her?" Tang Zhongwei said, holding her neck straight.

"You really are far worse," Diao Ge remarked, looking at the somewhat deranged Tang Zhongwei expressionlessly.

"I’m far worse? She’s just a sickly person, who knows how long she’ll live. Maybe she’ll be fine today and dead tomorrow, or maybe she’ll die outside because of some provocation from me. Once she’s dead, I’ll feel my spirit at peace, and when that’s at peace, I won’t care about anything else," Tang Zhongwei laughed maliciously, the venom in her eyes like poison hidden in the fangs of a viper.

Not only Diao Ge, but all the men standing around hearing Tang Zhongwei’s words showed expressions of disbelief on their faces. It was unimaginable that someone who seemed so demure and graceful on the outside could harbor such evil and malice. Those who had originally planned to ask the boss to keep her after the deal was done gave up the idea.

This Tang Zhongwei, due to jealousy, wanted to kill a sister who lived with her. How could they, whom she hates deeply, expect a good outcome?
