She had just raised her eyes to search for Du Hange in the audience when she heard the excited voice of the host continue to ring out:
"The final prize is about to be revealed! Miss, today you are the biggest winner! All the rewards here belong to you!"
As the words fell, all the curtains were suddenly pulled back.
What appeared before everyone was a series of transparent, reinforced cages, their hard surfaces reflecting a cold light under the illumination.
Inside the cages were women barely clothed and men who only covered their most private parts.
The last two cages contained underage girls as well.
Those women and men desperately hugged their exposed bodies, trying to cover some of their shameful areas.
But in these completely transparent cages, they resembled sexual slaves on display, with no privacy whatsoever.
At that moment, nearly everyone gasped in shock, their prying and malicious gazes directed toward the trembling women huddled in the cages.
Some with peculiar tastes openly discussed the unspeakable acts involving the men.
There were even onlookers who, in their eagerness to get a better view, boldly stepped closer and craned their necks to look at the women in the cages.
The entire scene instantly became filthy and repulsive, with an air thick with nauseating tension.
Chi Mu Jiu was stunned.
She lifted her gaze toward one of the cages, which held a man.
He crouched in the corner of the cage, his body covered in shocking scars.
The distance was too great to see his features clearly, but Chi Mu Jiu could still sense that the man in the cage was looking at her as well.
His eyes were filled with sorrow, pain, and confusion, mixed with a strong yearning for freedom—like sharp nails digging deeply into her heart.
The man in the cage crawled a few steps forward; with his movement, the shackles on his hands clanged against the reinforced cage, creating a resonating sound, while his lips clearly formed two words: "Save me."
Chi Mu Jiu felt breathless for a moment, forgetting to look away.
She was genuinely frightened by this scene; this was nothing more than a façade for a gambling den disguised as a sex slave trading operation!
"Duo Hange," she instinctively called out his name.
"Don't look."
The familiar voice reached her ears as she was pulled tightly into Du Hengyan's chest. The scent of dragon sandalwood filled her nostrils, and only then did her racing heart gradually return to a normal rhythm.
"It seems our beautiful lady is quite surprised by this reward!"
The words of the dealer were laced with jest, but at that moment, Chi Mu Jiu could hardly process anything.
Around her, the lewd laughter of men mingled with the desperate cries and sobs of women. Even though she had mentally prepared herself, seeing a gun for the first time made her break out in a cold sweat. How could she possibly handle this scene?
Cowardly? Yet, at the end of the day, she was still a young lady from a prestigious family.
Burying her head in his embrace, Chi Mu Jiu wished to shut her eyes and not see anything happening around her—not even a little.
She had thought that what lay beneath those black cloths was something entirely different; she never imagined it would be a slave trade.
The gambling game ended. She had won all the slaves present.
He held her close as he strolled away from the gambling hall, while the next round of cards was still being dealt on the table.
"Du Hengyan, does this count as a crime?" she cautiously asked once they were outside.
"Fool, of course not. You’ve done a great service—an outstanding one at that. You’ve not only caught drug lords but also uncovered a new human trafficking den," Du Hengyan replied softly.
"And what about that guy?"
"Don't worry; he'll come looking for you himself."
