Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Special Auction Item

So many rich individuals gathered here, and it’s all so secretive, I’m afraid they must be up to some unsavory business.

Minutes passed, and a spotlight illuminated the stage directly opposite all the private booths. A round platform then automatically moved towards the center of the stage. Above the platform, over two meters high, was covered with a layer of red cloth, obscuring the contents.

Ling Chen leaned against the wall, his gaze intensifying as he scrutinized the platform, wishing he could see through the layer of red cloth.

At that moment, the red cloth surrounding the platform suddenly dropped, revealing the mysterious contents wrapped inside.

Immediately, Ling Chen’s expression changed, his eyes flashing with a hint of anger and a chilling iciness.

Atop the platform was an iron cage, in which stood a scantily clad young woman, roughly in her twenties, with a curvaceous figure and pretty features, a typical beauty.

The woman was wearing a bikini, covering only the essential parts, her smooth and delicate skin unabashedly presented before a room full of men, subject to their lascivious gazes.

Ling Chen frowned slightly; the woman in the cage seemed to have been drugged or injected with a hallucinogenic substance. She stood limp and groggy, her face confused and seemingly unaware of her surroundings.

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

At this moment, a woman’s voice came through the speakers installed in the corner, "You all know the rules, so I won’t repeat them. I can promise you solemnly that all the women we sell are pure and unspoiled, never defiled and never undergone any restorative surgery at a hospital, so you need not worry. Additionally, we’re not in the business of a one-time sale; if you don’t want them after use, you can contact us, and we will handle it for you. Without further ado, let’s start the auction. As per usual, the starting bid is fifty thousand, and each subsequent bid must not be lower than ten thousand."

As soon as her speech concluded, someone from the crowd immediately called out a bid of sixty thousand.

In less than a minute, the price soared, quickly breaking two hundred thousand, and finally closing at two hundred sixty thousand.

"Congratulations to the gentleman at table number seven for successfully acquiring this item; please welcome the next one."

Item?

Listening to the person’s rhetoric, Ling Chen’s face turned sour; these people were actually auctioning off living women as items, downright despicable. Not just the wealthy bidders, but even more detestable were the shadowy figures organizing the auction.

Clearly, these women were not here by choice, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been drugged.

Since he stumbled upon this, he couldn’t just stand idly by.

With this thought, Ling Chen surreptitiously took out his cell phone, turned on the recording function, and captured everything happening in the basement, preparing to use it as evidence to hand over to Xia Mutong.

In just half an hour, five women were auctioned off, with a total price of about 1.3 million.

At that point, the host’s laughter came through the speakers, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve arrived at the climax of the evening. To thank you for your support, we’ve specially sourced an exquisite item, guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of all present."

As she spoke, the iron cage covered in red cloth was moved to the center of the stage.

As the red cloth fell, a slender, delicate-faced beauty immediately caught everyone’s attention. Not only was this woman extremely beautiful and young, but her ample bust also had all the men drooling, unable to avert their eyes.

Looking at the woman caged, Ling Chen’s mouth fell open, unable to hide his surprise.

Leng Feifei!

It was actually her!

Ling Chen had a vivid memory of this beauty he met at East Sea University. Back then, when Leng Feifei was being bullied by Qi Jianhui and Zheng Guangwu, he had stepped in to help her out several times.

Since then, they hadn’t seen each other for a while due to being too busy, but he hadn’t expected to meet again in such circumstances.

Those bastards!

Ling Chen gnashed his teeth in hatred, finding even his friend involved now. It seemed he could no longer remain uninvolved.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Ling Chen was about to rush onto the stage and rescue Leng Feifei from the cage.

But as he took a step forward, he immediately held back. This was, after all, the enemy’s turf. Bold enough to engage in such illegal acts in plain sight, the opposing force was likely significant. Moreover, Leng Feifei appeared somewhat unconscious, which meant he might be hamstrung if attacked while attempting to flee with her.

Forget it!

Upon reflection, Ling Chen decided against immediate action, considering it would not be too late to make a move after the auction had ended.

By this time, the bidding for Leng Feifei had reached two million.

Such a peerless beauty—who wouldn’t be tempted?

Not long after, Leng Feifei was finally sold for two million four hundred thousand.

"Alright, today’s auction is now complete. We will notify everyone of the next auction a day in advance via text message. Thank you all for attending."

When the auction ended, everyone got up to leave without delay, including those who had successfully bid on items.

Ling Chen was inwardly puzzled—weren’t they going to take the people with them directly?

As the men left, Ling Chen’s gaze shifted back to the stage, only to find that Leng Feifei was no longer in the cage.

Damn it!

He had been too preoccupied to notice Leng Feifei on stage, and it seemed likely that she had been taken away by the backstage staff.

Without a moment to waste, Ling Chen rushed towards the backstage. Having not gone far, he realized there was no one backstage, and not just Leng Feifei—none of the girls auctioned off were anywhere to be seen.

They’re fast!

Ling Chen frowned, and just then the sound of car engines reached his ears. Following the noise, he hurriedly dashed in that direction.

Kicking open a tightly locked iron door, a cool night breeze gently brushed against him. Outside the warehouse, he saw a row of luxury cars driving onto the road. Among these were two vans, and one had its door still ajar—one of the men had just thrown an unconscious woman into the vehicle, then hurriedly pulled the door shut and signaled an ’OK’ to the driver.

Watching as the two vans started up, Ling Chen didn’t hesitate to pick up the pace, chasing after them like a swiftly blowing wind.

But by this time, the two vans had merged with the traffic, accelerating and leaving Ling Chen far behind.

Assholes!

As the two vans disappeared from sight, Ling Chen cursed under his breath and then turned his attention to the staff member.

"What... what are you going to do?"

Seeing Ling Chen approaching with a dark expression, the man was somewhat frightened and asked stammeredly.

Ling Chen grabbed the man’s collar in one swift motion and demanded coldly, "Where have those girls been taken?"
