After Prison, She Shocks the World
Chapter 34 The Man in the Cell

Chapter 34: Chapter 34 The Man in the Cell

"Do you want everyone to know that after all my waffling, I’m shamelessly clinging to you again, or do you want Su Kexin to be even more eager to kill me?"

Qin Jinhai raised an eyebrow. "After the disguise, not even a ghost will recognize you. Rest assured."

「Nine o’clock at night.」

Qin Jinhai put Fu Bing, who had switched faces, into the car. It was a very ordinary face, indistinguishable in a crowd. The car headed for the abandoned shipyard on the outskirts of the city.

The area around the yard was dilapidated, with garbage, wine bottles, and cigarette butts scattered everywhere. Flies buzzed around, settling on indiscernible trash.

Fu Bing withdrew her gaze. Discomfort overwhelmed her, making her drowsy.

Qin Jinhai, however, was completely at ease. As if the person who had frantically taken from each other in the dressing room before leaving wasn’t him.

Qin Jinhai glanced at her and said pointedly, "Your nails need clipping."

Her passion had left several scratches on his back.

Fu Bing maintained a cold expression but turned her head towards the window.

The car had stopped without her knowing when. Qin Jinhai parked the car in a corner. He hadn’t driven his usual car that day, opting instead for a white Polo that wasn’t registered in his name.

When Qin Jinhai got out of the car, he casually took a mask from the trunk and wore it on his face.

Fu Bing watched the man whose features were hidden under the mask in the night, her heart skipping a beat. A thought slipped through her mind. The man in the cell... also wore a mask...

Qin Jinhai led Fu Bing through an entrance guarded by several men in black. Different from the neglected exterior, the interior was luxurious and bewildering. Shadows seemed to hide people who could burst forth with extreme ferocity at any moment.

Fu Bing didn’t understand why Qin Jinhai had brought her here. She followed closely behind him, not daring to stray even half a step.

A server guided Qin Jinhai into the VIP booth. The booth had a massive floor-to-ceiling window, providing a complete view of the arena below.

"Anything can be bought or sold here, including lives."

Fu Bing pursed her lips. "Why have you brought me here?"

"To show you the darkness of this world." Qin Jinhai’s face was hidden behind the mask, his expression unseen. "You think you’ve seen too much darkness in prison and believe you can manipulate people? That’s just a fraction. The darkness in this world is beyond your imagination."

"So what?"

"Don’t be easily swayed by others. Think about what you want!"

「Soon.」

Fu Bing understood the purpose of Qin Jinhai bringing her here.

A woman, chained, was dragged to the platform. A woman dressed lavishly followed behind.

"This woman seduced my husband. Now I’ll sell her for one yuan; anyone can have her."

"To redeem her, the price is fixed at one billion!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar. The woman’s words made everyone understand that tonight was about the life of the woman shackled on the platform!

As her words fell, the large screen behind the platform also displayed the face of the bound woman.

Fu Bing looked at the big screen in disbelief. Han Hu?!

The most famous golden supporting actress in the entertainment industry. Rumored to have a powerful backer, untouchable by anyone.

All the men were boiling with excitement, numerous bidding paddles raised. Each bidding just one yuan.

Wearing masks, they surged to the platform, frantically ripping at Han Hu’s clothes, violating her without regard for the surroundings, like wild beasts.

The woman’s agonizing moans, the men’s excited screams...

The big screen magnified the scene on the platform. Exciting and stimulating, it ignited the secret desires of those present. More and more men joined...

The noblewoman watched Han Hu being humiliated, her face full of smug satisfaction.

Fu Bing lowered her head, no longer watching.

Qin Jinhai pressed the remote, and the curtains slowly drew close, shielding the unbearable sight from view.

"In the eyes of the wealthy, a star without family background is just a lowly actor that can be played with at any time."

"What will happen to Han Hu tonight?"

"Death."

Fu Bing shivered. "Why?"

"Because she’s no longer of value, and no one wants to offend the woman from before just to protect her."

"Who was that woman?"

"Li Qing’s sister, Li Hua."

Fu Bing stiffened in her seat.

Qin Jinhai looked at her. "Li Hua has been busy dealing with Han Hu and didn’t have time to come after you. After Han Hu’s death, she will definitely come looking for you to avenge her sister."

"Li Hua’s husband is Su Junling’s second uncle, Su He. Do you think the Su Family would offend Su He for you? At most, they will speak a few words for you as a return for reviving Mrs. Su, but they won’t cause rifts within the Su Family for you."

Fu Bing’s back was covered in cold sweat. "So you mean, my only option now is to cling to your influence? Otherwise, not just me but Xiaomei, Uncle He, Aunt Ning and others will suffer too?"

"What do you think?" Qin Jinhai said blandly.

Fu Bing remained silent for a long time. "Please, Director Qin, tell me about Li Hua and Su He’s relationship, as well as Li Hua’s background."

Qin Jinhai laughed. "You’re quite demanding."

His low laughter echoed through the private room, sounding particularly profound.

Fu Bing’s ears grew hot.

"I am your lover, and if your lover is humiliated like this, it’s you who will lose face."

Qin Jinhai looked at Fu Bing approvingly. She was always intelligent. It was only because she didn’t have equal information that she suffered losses.

"You saved Old Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su. These two favors will prevent Su He from attacking you actively. Li Hua, as his second wife who just gave birth to a boy ensuring his lineage, has Su He completely wrapped around her finger now."

Qin Jinhai analyzed the entire Su Family’s situation for her. "Su Jiang has five sons and one daughter. Su He, on the other hand, has two daughters under his name, and the children he fathered out of wedlock were also daughters. This means that, with the newborn boy from Li Hua, he now has a total of four daughters and one son. He is very envious of Su Jiang."

"Li Hua is currently his favorite. Just whisper a few words in his ear, and Su He’s jealousy and hatred towards his older brother will be rekindled."

"He wouldn’t dare touch Su Jiang and his children, but he would definitely dare to touch you."

Fu Bing nodded. "If his son gets into trouble and I happen to save his son, would he still harm me?"

Qin Jinhai narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Fu Bing, you’re too bold."

"Without boldness, I would merely be meat on someone else’s chopping block," Fu Bing’s eyes flashed with anger.

"It was Li Qing who provoked me first, trying to harm me. For self-preservation, I went with the flow, yet I am to accept others’ retaliation. Who will stand up for me?"

"I’m not discussing right or wrong concerning Han Hu, but doesn’t Su He bear any responsibility? Why should Han Hu endure being humiliated, her dignity lost and her life not her own?"

"Just because we don’t have a powerful family, does that mean no one will stand up for us? So, do we deserve to be bullied?"

Fu Bing’s voice was hoarse. Her eyes filled with defiance.

Qin Jinhai looked at her deeply. "Do you want to save her?"

"Who?"

"Han Hu."

"Save her!"

Fu Bing answered without hesitation.

Qin Jinhai summoned someone. "Pay a billion to buy the woman on the stage."

"This..."

"Go quickly."

The waiter hesitated, then obeyed and left.

Qin Jinhai spoke in a cold voice, "I’m giving you a close encounter with Li Hua. You must act quickly."

Fu Bing nodded.

Han Hu was soon carried in, her clothing barely covering her body. She looked as if she had been soaked in a pool of blood, with not a single piece of intact skin on her body. She had already slipped into a semi-conscious state.

Qin Jinhai didn’t even glance at Han Hu. In front of the waiter, he angrily said to Fu Bing, "Women are so annoying! Get out with this filthy woman!"

Fu Bing obediently went out with the stretcher-bearers.

The corridor was dimly lit.

Li Hua emerged furiously from the elevator. Seeing Han Hu barely clinging to life, she kicked her. She lost her balance while lifting her foot, staggering and nearly falling.

Fu Bing quickly supported her.

"Madam, be careful."

When Li Hua saw Fu Bing’s face, she shoved her away forcefully, disgusted. "Get away! Who do you think you are, touching me?"

"I’m sorry." Fu Bing apologized in a low voice and quickly followed the waiter away.

Li Hua walked into Qin Jinhai’s private room with her head held high. Staring at the man before her, she shouted, "Since you dare to compete with me for a person, yet cowardly hide behind a mask. Who are you exactly?!"
