Let’s rewind a few hours.
After pushing the “goods” onto the stage, the white-clad attendants filed out and down.
As they walked through a labyrinthine corridor, before they could even rest, they received information that the generator needed repair.
They immediately went back to work, completely unaware that one person was missing from their group.
The dim green light of the emergency escape route fell on Chen Kedi’s slightly stubbled face.
The hallway cameras were unlit and dim, silently lowered, and the backup wires were cut.
Only then did he dare to walk boldly down the corridor.
Chen Kedi, male, 35 years old, a somewhat educated chivalrous thief, advocated robbing the rich to help the poor.
He had a bounty of millions of Huayuan currency in certain black markets.
At this moment, he was pondering the character map he had just memorized.
Room 02 belonged to a real estate magnate, who only brought a few young women onto the yacht.
The most valuable thing on him was his Rolex, and there wasn’t much profit in the room; Room 07, a civilian collector, but he didn’t collect antiques.
The room was full of women, making it troublesome to take them; Room 31…
“This way, this way, follow up.”
There was a rapid sound of footsteps in the crossroads corridor ahead.
Chen Kedi swiftly dodged behind a wall.
The group turned left and entered.
Listening to their footsteps gradually fade, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At this point, Chen Kedi noticed the door marked Room 23 in front of him.
Room 23 belonged to a young and successful financier, one cat and one female slave.
He also shipped about one and a half cubic meters of goods.
In the information age, it was incredibly easy to get someone’s information.
He had obtained this by pretending to be drunk from a direct subordinate of the He family.
Another burst of hurried footsteps.
Two repairmen appeared from the crossroads, walking towards the corridor where Chen Kedi was. “Look, look, the backup electrical box here was chewed through.”
“Boss, I told you we should raise a group of cats.”
“Less talk, just fix it quickly.”
Xu Yinsheng lay bored in the cage.
This was a cat cage from home, thoughtfully brought onto the yacht by Zhao Yicheng to ensure she wouldn’t be uncomfortable sleeping in a bed.
About this, Xu Yinsheng only dared to curse a few words secretly, not daring to say anything openly.
While playing with Garfield’s fur, she pondered how to earn more Xiao Yin Stars.
Coming to accompany Zhao Yicheng to this auction would reward her with 20 Xiao Yin Stars.
Staying well-behaved in the cage and not running around would reward her with 10 Xiao Yin Stars.
She calculated on her fingers.
She could earn 30 Xiao Yin Stars from this auction.
She needed 50 to get her own bedroom, so she was still short 20.
Just as Xu Yinsheng was thinking about how to save up 20 from her daily life, the room door opened.
Dim light spilled in from outside.
The opening of the door was very light, and the closing was also very light, but Xu Yinsheng heard a sense of urgency in it.
“Hello, Master…”
She raised her head, thinking Zhao Yicheng had returned, but her crimson eyes met those of a stranger, and her voice abruptly stopped.
“Trouble.”
She heard the strange man say this.
The next moment, a tube as thick as an index finger was thrown into the cat cage.
Like seeing a natural enemy, Garfield chirped and escaped the iron cage, leaving only the silver-haired loli looking bewildered.
A pungent odor quickly rushed into her nose and mouth, and a dizzy, weak sensation set in.
Damn it, this drug is stronger than what Zhao Yicheng uses.
Xu Yinsheng only had time for this thought to flash through her mind before she deeply fainted, unconscious.
***
Chen Kedi gazed at the silver-haired loli sleeping in the iron cage.
The bright moonlight fell on his not-so-handsome face. Indifferently, he kicked Garfield unconscious, then slowly approached the iron cage after scanning the bed.
When Xu Yinsheng opened her eyes again, she saw shelves packed with goods.
Her hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth.
“Woof woof~”
Xu Yinsheng whimpered a few times.
Damn, it’s too big!
Can’t they use a smaller one?
Even a non-human blood-kin loli can’t handle this!
This thing rivaled what Zhao Yicheng used.
“Don’t make noise,” the man in the white attendant uniform said coldly, pressing something icy against the back of her head.
Xu Yinsheng immediately quieted down.
“I’ll untie you, but if you dare to make a sound, I’ll shoot you,” Chen Kedi threatened.
Xu Yinsheng nodded frantically, like pounding garlic.
Even a blood-kin loli wouldn’t survive a headshot.
After all, her current body was still underage; she hadn’t even sucked blood many times.
Chen Kedi untied the cloth from the silver-haired loli’s mouth with his right hand, while his left hand still held the gun to the back of her head.
Once Xu Yinsheng could speak normally, the gun muzzle rubbed the back of her head.
The cold, hard touch made Xu Yinsheng shiver.
God, it can’t be this unlucky, right?
Not only was I locked in a cat cage, but I also got kidnapped.
Bad luck shouldn’t all fall on me.
She hesitated, then whispered, “Hero, I have no money.”
“I’m secondhand goods.”
“I can tell,” Chen Kedi nodded.
He held the cat tag on Xu Yinsheng’s neck with his left hand and glanced at it. It was full of traces left by the cat’s owner.
“Xu Yinsheng?”
“Yes,” Xu Yinsheng nodded cautiously.
Wuwuwu~
Master, help!
Forget the auction, your home’s been robbed!
Your cat has been kidnapped!!!
Damn it, if she had known there would be kidnappers, she definitely wouldn’t have stayed in the room alone just because she wanted to sleep.
Chen Kedi rubbed the cat tag.
It was wood inlaid with jade: golden-threaded wood and fire-eerie silver.
The carving was excellent.
Such a large piece was worth between fifty to seventy thousand.
Damn it!
A female slave’s cat tag is more expensive than his entire worth!
He pulled hard, trying to take it off, but found it was connected to the collar. It was hard to separate without special tools. If he had the right tools, he could cut her neck along the line and take it off.
Cough cough, that was just a joke, of course. While Chen Kedi loved money, he wasn’t a ruthless, murderous person.
“Your name is the same as that famous notorious playboy in Binhai City.”
He rubbed the cat tag.
The carving was excellent, and it felt great in his hand.
He could tell the owner of this female slave had good artistic taste.
Her neck ached from being pulled, but Xu Yinsheng didn’t dare to move, afraid of displeasing the other party, muttering to herself.
Is her bad reputation that widespread?
She just liked racing, partying, and changing girlfriends.
She gave an awkward smile.
“Same name, same name.”
“Indeed, same name, different fate. He’s probably enjoying himself in some beauty’s arms, while you’re just a domesticated female slave.”
As he said this, Xu Yinsheng saw a faint disdain in his eyes, and a hint of… pity?
