It was Ji Yang’s first time in this office.

Upon entering, he realized the interior decoration was indeed impressive, with luxurious fittings, a large executive desk, and a rather inconspicuous room inside.

After taking a moment to survey his surroundings, he noted the walls appeared to be furnished with wood panels, featuring carved artistry.

Yet upon pressing one, a room emerged.

Inside, there was a large bed and a bathroom.

A female attendant, who was also strikingly attractive in a seductive way, followed Ji Yang in.

There didn’t seem to be a single unattractive woman working at this Hospitality House.

“Is this the director’s room?” Ji Yang asked.

The attendant, named Cao Li, hesitated before replying, “Previously, the Hospitality House was managed by Lu Shijie, and he spent most of his time here, often entertaining himself with Fang Rui.”

After saying this, she pushed on an unassuming spot on the wall.

To his surprise, an even larger room was revealed.

When Ji Yang turned on the light, he found the space was not only secretive but also quite spacious, carpeted with a thick rug, and centered around a large bed with a television set and other amenities.

“What is this place?”

“This is where Lu Shijie and others often entertained people; after watching some adult films, they would have others join them for ‘fun’.”

Wow, Ji Yang thought, he had truly seen something new.

Pondering the room’s layout, Ji Yang surmised it must have been built against the back mountain, likely concealed within the mountain itself, which is why many people were unaware of its existence.

On further inspection, the décor here was indeed quite well done.

“Didn’t the task force inspect this place?”

Cao Li shook her head, “I don’t know.

I was just recently released.”

“They didn’t ask you anything?”

“People are too scared to say much.”

Ji Yang looked at Cao Li and understood that this girl had her own calculated reasons for revealing this place to him; she wanted to show her allegiance.

“What about you women?” Since that was the case, Ji Yang surmised Lu Shijie wouldn’t have spared the women here.

He posed the question.

Facing Ji Yang’s gaze, Cao Li hesitated and then said, “Almost all the female comrades here have been…

violated by them.

But we haven’t.”

Ji Yang shifted his attention to her.

At the moment, Ji Yang didn’t ask further.

He knew she would continue to explain the situation.

Observing the woman, her being back here indicated she wasn’t associated with Lu Shijie or his group, or at least not implicated seriously.

“Did all of you come from rural areas?”

“Yes, we are from deep within the mountains.

Coming to work here made our village very happy.

Whenever there’s a problem, they would always turn to us for help.”

Ji Yang sighed inwardly, knowing the villagers’ mindset; they believed that Cao Li and her peers were well-off since they were being taken care of by the government.

Little did they know the reality of their situation.

“All of you are unstaffed personnel, right?

Basically temporary workers, earning about two thousand a month.

Haven’t you considered looking for jobs outside?”

“Lu Shijie and his group wouldn’t allow it.”

Thinking of Lu Shijie’s influence and considering that the families of these women were all in Qingyuan Village, Ji Yang could imagine their helplessness.

“What’s your main job here?”

“Normally, Fang Rui educates us on various service tasks, and then we are supposed to try to attract the attention of leaders or big bosses staying here.

If they take a liking to us, our families receive very favorable treatment.”

Ji Yang understood that attracting attention was the precursor to a more intimate exploration of life, which would be followed by covert photography and recordings.

Once involved to that extent, most of those women would end up under the control of Lu Shijie and his affiliates.

Ji Yang also recollected hearing about changes in the families of many who worked at the Hospitality House.

People speculated that these women had caught the eye of a leader or a rich businessman who then helped their families.

However, they were unaware that such orchestrations were the doings of Lu Shijie and his associates.

“Director Ji, we really haven’t done anything inappropriate, nor have we been overly involved,” Cao Li quickly added.

“One of their rules is since we’re supposed to seduce these men, we need to remain ‘clean’.

There are strict guidelines and timelines.”

Of course, Cao Li couldn’t hold back and ended up divulging everything.

Ji Yang was curious and asked, “What’s this ‘timeline’?”

“We undergo half a year of intense training where we face various punishments if we disobey and can’t tell anyone outside.

Then they give us a year to complete the task of seducing county-level officials or higher.

Failure results in gang rape by their people, and if we can’t succeed within another year, our families face consequences.”

Cao Li was trembling as she spoke, indicating the terror they experienced.

Seeing her state, Ji Yang believed her words to be genuine; he had simply not anticipated such horrors.

This was effectively a mafia-like syndicate, controlling the entirety of Qingyuan Village.

It was staggering to realize how such goings-on eluded him for so long.

Ji Yang’s eyes widened in disbelief—such machinations were beyond his expectations.

“Some of us have finished the training and are in the midst of our assignments.

I’m one of those who hasn’t fulfilled my task yet.”

Now it made sense; no wonder this woman hadn’t been victimized—it simply wasn’t her time yet.
