Republic Beauty's Plunder Volume 1

Aping meticulously applied her makeup in front of the vanity mirror, while her husband, the master of the house, watched her with adoration from behind. Her body, in its late twenties, was mature and exquisite, clad in a dark blue dress with white floral patterns, cinched at the waist with a custom-made leather belt. Her earrings and necklace were gold, an elegant ensemble suitable for a social gathering. Her slender legs, encased in black stockings, further enhanced her allure. These weren't ordinary pantyhose, but the currently favored garter stockings. Despite Aping's sophisticated and fashionable appearance, He Shaohun felt a touch of dissatisfaction. He voiced his opinion, "Aping, we're going to play games. Why are you dressed so formally? Haven't you had enough of this white-collar attire? You wear it every day to and from work; don't you find it troublesome? That water-red silk qipao of yours is so beautiful, why not wear it?" Hearing her husband's words, Aping turned around and smiled, "Achun, what are you talking about? Today, when we go, Ahui and the others might tie me up. Ah, no, I will definitely be tied up. If I wear a qipao, the ropes will be tight against my body, and I won't be able to bear it. It will hurt if my skin gets bruised." "How could that be? Your qipao also has long sleeves. As long as the ropes aren't directly against your skin, it shouldn't hurt too much when you're tied up," He Shaohun said, standing up and walking behind his wife, gently embracing her slender waist. "Although the qipao has long sleeves, this outfit is a bit thicker. Comparatively, it's better. The short-sleeved qipao I wore last time was tied up so tightly by those guys. Look, there are still some red rope marks on my arms that haven't faded," Aping said, rolling up her sleeve to show He Shaohun. He Shaohun caressed Aping's smooth, satin-like skin and said with concern, "You were tied up too tightly last time; it broke my heart. So this time, you must wear a long-sleeved outfit. You look best in a qipao, and I like it." Although He Shaohun was concerned for his wife, the thought of Ahui's wife's alluring appearance made his lower abdomen heat up. Ah Jiao, while perhaps not quite as stunning as his wife, was also a complete beauty. The idea that he could tie up such a beauty at will brought him immense satisfaction. Although it made him a little uncomfortable that Aping would also be tied up by Ahui, he reasoned that they were just playing games. As long as everyone had fun, it was just about being tied up, and they weren't doing anything too extreme. Ahui wouldn't dare, he scoffed. After her husband's words, Aping tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Alright, then I'll wear the qipao. This qipao is my favorite anyway." With that, Aping got up and went into the bedroom to change. The place He Shaohun was taking his wife was a friend's house. It used to be a frequent gathering spot for a group of dissolute young men. The women who went there were usually their wives or girlfriends. Sometimes, to seek new thrills, they would engage in games of wife-swapping and fooling around. Aping was initially a little unaccustomed to it, but she gradually loosened up. Because she was the most beautiful among the female companions, all the rakes would try to curry favor with He Shaohun, offering him their own female companions in exchange for a chance to get close to Aping. However, they were always disappointed. Every time Aping arrived, she was claimed by the host, Li Shihui, who forbade anyone else from touching her. Out of respect for Ahui being the host, the rakes had no choice but to give up, though they were inwardly very displeased. After all, with such a beauty present, a great opportunity, yet they couldn't even get a taste of her charm; no one would be comfortable with that. However, playing such games was destined to lead to some unexpected events. During one of their gatherings and playful antics, for some reason, Ahui, while roughhousing with Aping, suddenly produced a coil of rope as thick as a finger. Amidst Aping's slight struggles, he tied her up completely. Aping was wearing a golden-yellow, long-sleeved silk qipao at the time, but the fabric was soft and thin. It clung tightly to her graceful figure. Now, bound tightly by the ropes, her exquisite body appeared even more shapely. Her high breasts seemed to tremble and become even more prominent. The sight left the rakes staring blankly, their noses bleeding. The boisterous atmosphere suddenly fell silent, all eyes fixed on the bound Aping. Seeing his wife tied up by Ahui in front of so many people, He Shaohun's first reaction was anger, mixed with a sense of confusion. What was wrong with Ahui today? Why was he treating Aping like this? He Shaohun looked at his wife with some bewilderment, only to find that Aping, bound as she was, did not have the expected look of anger on her beautiful face. Instead, her face was flushed with embarrassment. Seeing this, He Shaohun felt something was amiss and decided to get to the bottom of it first. "Ahui, what the hell are you up to? Why did you tie up Aping? If you don't explain, believe it or not, I'll tie up your little treasure right now, and I guarantee I'll tie it tighter than Aping's," He Shaohun threatened fiercely, glancing sideways at the beautiful woman standing beside him, Ahui's girlfriend, Ah Jiao. "Haha, I don't mind you tying up Ah Jiao, but I tied up Aping with her consent. Shall we play a new game now? Look, doesn't Aping look even more beautiful after being tied up? Don't you all agree?" Ahui shouted excitedly, his voice hoarse. Upon hearing Li Shihui's words, the other rakes exchanged glances, then whispered amongst themselves, chattering for a long time. The other female companions also looked somewhat stunned. After a while, the rakes seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. They reluctantly tore their gaze away from Aping's bound, delicate body and, one by one, dejectedly led their female companions away. "Someone's here, come in!" a muffled voice called from inside. "Hmm, this feels a bit off," Lu Wanting thought. "Shouldn't they have an utterance, a password? But the gate is locked from the outside, so how could they... Oh no..." Just as a bad feeling began to creep in, several men in black clothes burst out from seemingly nowhere. Lu Wanting instinctively cried out, too stunned to react, and was immediately subdued. Two of the agents rushed behind her, snatched her small bag, and each grabbed one of her wrists, twisting her arms backward. "Ah! What are you doing!" Lu Wanting screamed in pain, forced to hunch over with her head bowed. Her short hair, now too long, slid from behind her ears. Her arms throbbed with pain from the twist. Her high-heeled feet lost their balance, the heels clacking erratically on the ground. She tried to spread her feet slightly, then brought her knees together, a maneuver that helped her maintain some balance and, she hoped, made her look a little better. With Lu Wanting under control, one of the agents produced a rope and began to bind her. The brown rope coiled around her shimmering silk qipao. The agents' binding technique was practiced. Two of them pressed down on her shoulders, stretching her arms out. The agent holding the hemp rope placed it on Lu Wanting's shoulders and then began to wind it down her arms. Lu Wanting was tall and slender; the rope wrapped around her upper and lower arms three or four times before reaching her wrists, where it was tied off. Once her arms were securely bound, the two agents forcefully bent them backward behind her, clasping her wrists together. They tightened the rope, crisscrossing it before tying a knot. Then, they pulled the rope upward, yanking her hands high behind her back, lifting them almost to the nape of her neck. Her forearms were bent upward, and her upper arms were pulled inward towards her back. They then secured the rope at the back of her neck, leaving two marks on her fair skin. Seeing there was still excess rope, the agents picked at the tightened loops around her arms and threaded the remaining rope back and forth through them seven or eight times before stopping. "Ah!" Lu Wanting was drenched in sweat from the binding. Her arms were cinched so tightly behind her back, it felt as if they would snap. The pain made her cry out repeatedly. This wasn't right. When she'd been tied up at Ah Hui Ge's place, it hadn't felt like this at all. Back then, Lu Wanting had only felt happiness and pleasure. The pain from the binding was almost negligible, even adding a novelty and thrill. But now, it was completely different. Her arms were both aching and numb, the agony almost bringing her to tears. This brutal, all-encompassing binding instantly shattered any positive feelings or longing she'd had for previous experiences, leaving only endless pain and fear. "Ah! You... Who are you people? Why have you tied me up? I came here to find someone. Let me go, quickly!" Lu Wanting struggled, shaking her tightly bound body. "Hmph, shut your yap! Behave yourself!" One agent grunted, then reached down and pulled off Lu Wanting's sheer white shawl. He wrapped it around her mouth, then again, and again. The shawl was so long it almost covered Lu Wanting's entire head. Now, not only could she not move or speak, but even breathing felt difficult. These agents were clearly accustomed to capturing and binding people; they treated the binding of Lu Wanting as a routine task. After dealing with Lu Wanting, they paid her no further attention. One agent turned to another, who seemed to be the leader, and said, "Yao Tou, we've gotten one. The other one should be here soon. Let's be ready." "Alright, everyone inside now." The Yao Tou took out a key, unlocked the main gate, and the agents, dragging the tightly bound Lu Wanting, retreated into Courtyard Number 31. Only a young agent remained outside as the dark gate was closed once more. Entering the room, an agent bent down and lifted the hem of Lu Wanting's qipao, revealing her long, slender legs clad in white stockings. The agent took out a rope and began to wrap it around her full, shapely legs, forcing her knees together in a humiliating bind. Several loops of rope were tightened above her knees. After securing them, he let down the hem of her qipao, covering her bound thighs. From the outside, it appeared her lower body was not restrained. Everything had happened so quickly, leaving Lu Wanting no time to process. Now, she was thrown onto the bed like a bound parcel. No one paid any attention to her, completely incapacitated. She had stumbled into the hands of these collaborators and traitors, and she couldn't imagine what terrible fate awaited her. Lu Wanting dared not contemplate what lay ahead. Tears of humiliation streamed from her eyes. Back in the courtyard, the agents immediately took up hidden positions. They seemed to know Lu Wanting was a minor player; her capture didn't elicit much excitement or joy. They remained vigilant, as if facing a formidable enemy. Time slowly passed in anticipation. After about fifteen minutes, footsteps were finally heard outside again. The sound suggested women's high heels walking on the bluestone path. The agents remained remarkably patient, holding their breath and their gaze fixed on the courtyard gate, waiting calmly. As Lu Wanting opened her eyes, the two agents stopped talking and began to untie the chains binding her. They freed her from the pillar and then removed the ropes that bound her body. Lu Wanting sat limply on the ground, finally free from her restraints. She felt a great sense of relief. However, having been bound for so long, her hands still lacked much sensation even after being unbound. It took her a full ten minutes before she could bring her hands from behind her back to the front, slowly rubbing her still-numb arms. After she had recovered slightly, one of the agents, Old Xiao, called out, "Come in!" A young man, seemingly from the kitchen, entered carrying a small plate. On the plate was a small bowl of millet congee and a small dish of pickled vegetables. He placed it in front of Lu Wanting. Seeing the meager meal, Lu Wanting frowned slightly. But since her capture and subsequent binding, she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. She was now both hungry and thirsty. Without further thought, she picked up the bowl, mixed the pickled vegetables with the congee, and devoured it ravenously. After eating, Lu Wanting's spirits recovered somewhat, and she slowly stood up from the ground. She straightened her qipao and then reached up to smooth her dark, lustrous hair. "Let's go!" Seeing that Lu Wanting had finished eating, the agent named Old Xiao picked up the rope that had been discarded on the ground, intending to re-bind Lu Wanting. "Ah! Please don't tie me up again. I've already said I'll tell you everything. I won't run away. Why do you still need to tie me?" Seeing the agents about to bind her again, Lu Wanting trembled all over in fear. She crossed her arms over her chest and pleaded aloud. When she was at Ah Hui's place, Lu Wanting had desperately wished that Ah Hui or Ah Chun would tie her up tightly. How gentle they were when they bound her! They would meticulously arrange her clothes, and the ropes they used were applied in an orderly fashion, as if they were afraid of hurting her. While tying her, they would ask if she felt uncomfortable anywhere. That feeling was truly both thrilling and comfortable; she savored it immensely. Even when her hands were tied high behind her back, almost touching her neck, she didn't feel much pain. As they tightened the ropes or lifted her wrists, they would still ask if she felt uncomfortable. If she indicated she could barely stand it, they would immediately stop. Yet, she felt that the higher her hands were tied behind her back, the more stimulating it became, even causing a slight excitement. Therefore, unless she truly couldn't bear it, she wished they would tie her even tighter and lift her hands even higher. But these agents showed no consideration for her feelings when they bound her. The moment her hands were twisted behind her back and lifted, her arms felt as if they were about to snap. That sensation was truly terrifying. If she hadn't experienced this brutal, all-encompassing binding before, Lu Wanting would have always believed that bondage games were such a wonderful thing. Even when bound for extended periods, she had no complaints; on the contrary, she felt that being bound by Ah Hui and the others like that was something she deeply yearned for. But now, the rope in the agent's hand looked like a vampire coiled around her, gnawing at her skin, sucking her blood and flesh. That feeling was truly dreadful. She absolutely did not want to be bound by them again; she truly did not want to experience such a cruel binding that was worse than death. "Stop with the nonsense. Once you're here, you have no say! We're not tying you up because we're afraid you'll run. Hmph, as if you'd dare, and you couldn't escape anyway. Prisoners here are either handcuffed or tied up. Considering your delicate appearance, we haven't even put shackles on your feet, which is already quite considerate. Hurry up and choose one of the two!" Old Xiao, who seemed to have some patience, explained at length to the pale-faced Lu Wanting, who was trembling with fear. "Choose what? Once you're in Station 76, you don't get to choose! Do you think you're still a pampered young lady at home? Stop babbling and tie her up!" Another young agent didn't give Lu Wanting a chance to speak further. He snatched the rope from Old Xiao's hand, forcefully twisted Lu Wanting's hands, which were clasped in front of her chest, behind her back. Then, with a shrug and a twist, he bound Lu Wanting tightly. "Ah, please don't tie me so tightly! I told you I'd surrender. I was just a messenger, I don't know anything!" Lu Wanting pleaded in pain. "You little vixen are clearly not being honest. You just said you'd tell us everything you know, and now you know nothing? Do you think this is a game of make-believe or a joke?" The agent binding her said angrily. "Miss Lu, as you know, you must be bound when you meet Young Master Lu. I apologize for the inconvenience," the two jailers said, binding Lu Wanting tightly in the reception room. They used a simple but effective method of binding Lu Wanting, with her hands tied behind her back and hoisted up, rendering her completely immobile. While this binding wasn't as severe as the cruel restraints she'd experienced at Facility 76, nor as tight as when she was bound at Ah Hui's place, being tied here in prison was a different matter entirely. At Ah Hui's, despite her lack of freedom, she never worried about her safety and even found a certain enjoyment in the experience. But here, in prison, every time she was bound, a profound fear would grip her, a dread of being violated by the guards or jailers in her helpless state. Lu Wanting knew that the "Young Master Ding" the jailers spoke of was Ding Xiaoniao, the supervisor of this ordinary prison. Ding Xiaoniao was the illegitimate son of Ding Meicun, the big boss of Facility 76. He was a handsome man, but since Lu Wanting's arrival, she had been summoned to his room several times. Each time, Ding Xiaoniao would have her bound tightly before bringing her to him. Ding Xiaoniao's practice of having prisoners bound before meeting him was likely a method of interrogation. Although Lu Wanting was frightened by the forced binding, she dared not resist too strongly. Otherwise, if she angered the "I, I..." Ruan Rumeng, tied to the iron bars, blushed furiously upon hearing the conversation between Ding Xiaoniao and her sister. Everything Ding Xiaoniao said was true, and she had no way to refute it. While she had joined the students in their street protests with the intention of contributing to the anti-Japanese cause, another purpose was to visit her sister at the 76th. She never imagined that once captured and brought to the 76th, things would be so different from what she had envisioned. The brutality here far exceeded her capacity to endure. Many of her classmates had been brutally beaten to death by those dog-like secret agents, including one of her closest friends. If not for Ding Xiaoniao's timely appearance, she might have already died. It seemed her actions had been rather reckless. Hearing her sister stammering and unable to speak, Ruan Yujiao knew that Ding Xiaoniao was likely telling the truth. Her sister was young and had oversimplified things. Logically, Ruan Yujiao should have been grateful to Ding Xiaoniao for saving her life and now her sister's. However, the thought of his traitorous identity and his father, Ding Meicun, the big boss of the 76th, extinguished any nascent good feelings she might have had. "Alright, since that's the case, I accept your favor. Since you could get my sister out of the hands of the 76th agents, please release her. Whatever you want to do to me, just do it. I won't resist," Ruan Yujiao's voice reached Ding Xiaoniao's ears, her tone noticeably softer than before. "Resist? Can you resist? If I want to do something, I can just have you tied up and do it directly. Do I still need to watch your face?" Although Ruan Yujiao's tone had softened, Ding Xiaoniao was unappreciative, saying fiercely. Indeed, in the inner cell, the two guards by the pool seemed to be cooperating with Ding Xiaoniao's words. As soon as Ding Xiaoniao finished speaking, the two guards pulled Ruan Yujiao out of the pool. Seeing Ruan Yujiao pulled out of the pool, dripping wet, Lu Wanting felt an inexplicable tension. She wondered what kind of torture the two guards would inflict on Ruan Yujiao this time. Would they tie her up with those steel wires and chains again? Lu Wanting noticed that the red marks left by the steel wires and chains on Ruan Yujiao's fair skin had now faded to a light red, almost invisible if not for a close look. The water in the pool was indeed magical. Under Lu Wanting's anxious gaze, the two guards began to bind Ruan Yujiao again. However, this time they did not use the steel wires and chains piled on the ground. One of the guards pulled out a roll of light yellow rope from his waist. The rope seemed very soft, similar to the one binding Lu Wanting, only a lighter color. Ruan Yujiao was still wearing handcuffs behind her back. The two guards did not remove her handcuffs but directly placed the rope around Ruan Yujiao's swan-like beautiful neck, then looped it over her shoulders and began to bind her naked upper body. The crisscrossing ropes bound Ruan Yujiao's upper body tightly. Her high breasts were bound with ropes in all directions, making her already ample bosom appear even more prominent. Her slender waist was also bound with several ropes, and a few ropes passed between her legs, tightly constricting her private parts. After binding Ruan Yujiao's upper body, the two guards then removed her handcuffs, and from their waists, they drew out another similar rope, binding Ruan Yujiao tightly in a hogtie. Her arms were crossed and bound behind her back, then hoisted high and tied to her neck. After binding her upper body, the two guards took out a third rope. They forced Ruan Yujiao to kneel on the ground, folded her lower legs against her thighs, and then bound them tightly together. The rope extended from the root of her thighs to above her knees. When Ruan Yujiao was soaking in the pool earlier, she had confronted Ding Xiaoniao verbally and shown no signs of compromise. Now, as the guards pulled her out of the pool and began to bind her, she still gritted her teeth and remained silent. Under such tight and humiliating bondage, Ruan Yujiao neither cursed loudly nor pleaded with Ding Xiaoniao in a low voice. It seemed that after being imprisoned here, this level of humiliating binding was commonplace for her, as if she had become accustomed to it. The tight binding finally ended, and Ruan Yujiao was now securely fastened. Since her lower legs were folded and bound against her thighs, she could only kneel on the ground. After binding her, the two guards pulled over the one-meter square iron frame. Then they placed Ruan Yujiao inside the iron frame and tied the ropes hanging from the frame to the crisscrossing ropes bound on Ruan Yujiao's back. This suspended Ruan Yujiao in the air within the iron frame. Ruan Yujiao's entire body weight was borne by the ropes bound to her back. Her arms, almost stretched to their limit, seemed to be twisted under the strain of her body weight. Large drops of sweat seeped from Ruan Yujiao's head and body. It was evident that she was enduring the pain from her arms, bent backward to the extreme. Lu Wanting watched with a pounding heart, feeling that Ruan Yujiao's arms, bound behind her, could snap at any moment. However, Lu Wanting's worry did not last long. The two guards slowly lowered the suspended Ruan Yujiao, and her folded legs finally touched the bottom plate of the iron frame. As Ruan Yujiao's knees touched the bottom plate of the iron frame, the pain from her arms, bound backward to the extreme, noticeably eased. However, the pain from her knees made her tremble all over. It turned out that the bottom plate of the iron frame was not flat but densely covered with iron spikes. Although the spikes were not very sharp, they were in contact with Ruan Yujiao's knees and lower legs, which were covered by only a layer of skin over bone. Even though her arms, bound behind her, still bore some of her body weight, the pain from her knees was excruciating. Under the dual assault of pain, Ruan Yujiao finally could not help but let out a muffled groan of agony. Although she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out, the more she did so, the more heart-wrenching it was to hear. "Ah! You've tied up my sister again! Sister, sister!" Seeing her sister subjected to such torture, Ruan Rumeng cried out loudly again. "Mengmeng, don't cry, sister is fine," Ruan Yujiao said through gritted teeth, enduring the pain all over her body, trying to comfort her sister. "Hahahaha! Yes, Miss Rumeng, your sister has strong endurance. This little bit of torture is child's play to her. You don't need to worry," Ding Xiaoniao laughed triumphantly, feeling immense pleasure seeing Ruan Yujiao bound and suffering. "You, you're talking nonsense! Didn't you see my sister sweating from the pain? Her arms are about to be broken," Ruan Rumeng continued to cry. "Miss Rumeng, since you pity your sister, come in and keep her company. Hey, you two, take Miss Rumeng inside and let her have a good chat with her sister. Perhaps after the sisters chat in this manner, the lovely Miss Yujiao will change her beliefs, hahahaha!" Ding Xiaoniao said, waving to the two burly men. "As you command, Young Master Ding." The two burly men, receiving Ding Xiaoniao's signal, walked over, untied Ruan Rumeng from the iron bars, then opened the iron gate and escorted her into the inner room where Ruan Yujiao was being tortured. After bringing Ruan Rumeng inside, the two burly men led her to the execution post, as thick as a bowl. Using the rope just removed from her, they bound her tightly to the post. Ropes were tied around her breasts, her slender waist, and her ankles. This time, the two burly men did not tie a rope around Ruan Rumeng's neck. Therefore, Ruan Rumeng felt slightly more comfortable than when she was bound to the iron bars earlier. Seeing the two burly men in black bind Ruan Rumeng to the post, the two guards pulled over the iron frame that was suspending Ruan Yujiao. The two sisters, tightly bound and suffering, finally met at close range. "Sister, sister, are you alright?" Seeing her sister bound into a suffering heap at close range, Ruan Rumeng cried even harder. Ever since she heard that her sister had been taken to the 76th, Ruan Rumeng had been worried about her sister incessantly. Now that she finally saw her, it was under such heartbreaking circumstances. Her arrival had not only failed to alleviate her sister's suffering, but she herself had also been hogtied, becoming a bargaining chip for Ding Xiaoniao to threaten her sister. “Wah, wah, wah.” Ruan Rumeng wanted to speak too, though she was tied to the pillar, she was facing sideways toward the prison door. Through the iron bars of the door, she saw the person standing outside and heard that he had come to rescue Lu Wanting, which left her feeling a little disappointed. Lu Wanting had someone who cared enough to come rescue her, but as for herself and her sister, they would likely never have the chance to leave this place alive. Her sister had to endure such cruel torture every day—who knew how much longer she could hold on? Perhaps her sister would die silently amidst this endless, brutal torment. And if her sister died, she herself might be silently killed by Ding Xiaoniao. A death inside No. 76 was no different from the death of an ant. Many of the classmates who had been arrested along with her had been beaten to death by them—what was she, after all? “Wah, wah.” Ruan Rumeng felt heartbroken over her own and her sister’s tragic fate and began to sob. Lu Wanting wanted to comfort her, to comfort this poor little girl. But she couldn’t find the words either; she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the person coming to rescue her would appear as soon as possible and save both sisters. Her older sister, Ruan Yujiao, was being cruelly tortured here every day; she didn’t know how much longer she could hold on. She hoped her sister could endure until the day she was rescued. While Lu Wanting and the Ruan sisters suffered in the dungeon, Ding Xiaoniao was lost in the lap of luxury. At this moment, in Ding Xiaoniao’s second-floor bedroom, the Qiongyao sisters’ glossy black, form-fitting leather outfits were tightly bound with a dense web of brown ropes. Their arms, tied behind their backs, were wrapped with no fewer than seven or eight layers of rope. The two sisters were kneeling on the large bed in the bedroom with their hands tied behind their backs, their rounded buttocks thrust high in the air. They were sticking out their pink little tongues with great effort, licking the “Second Manager” between Ding Xiaoniao’s legs. Ding Xiaoniao leaned back contentedly against the large pillow at the head of the bed, resting his eyes, and occasionally let out a comfortable moan. The Qiongyao sisters knelt on the bed with their hands tied behind their backs; their wrists, bound together, were hoisted high at the nape of their necks, making them appear tightly bound. In reality, their restraints were merely symbolic—the ropes binding their wrists were tied in loose, open knots. They held the ends of the ropes in their own hands. Ding Xiaoniao had placed them there after tying them up; in case of any emergency, the sisters could immediately pull the ends to free themselves. Ding Xiaoniao wasn’t stupid. Although he had a playful streak, he wasn’t foolish enough to tie up his personal bodyguards so they were completely helpless. That would be asking for trouble. Ding Xiaoniao was quite interested in the pretty girls locked up in the prison and took good care of them, but his interest stopped at mere admiration. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t do anything particularly lewd to them. This was because he vented his own intense sexual desires almost entirely on the Qiongyao sisters. The Qiongyao sisters had been raised in Ding Meicun’s home since childhood, and after being given to Ding Xiaoniao, they essentially became his personal property. The two sisters had always obeyed Ding Xiaoniao’s every command, submitting to whatever he did to them without ever resisting. Ding Xiaoniao’s “second manager”—as he called it—was already standing tall and proud under the teasing of the Qiongyao sisters’ soft, pink tongues. Though his name was Xiaoniao (Little Bird), his “little bird” was anything but small; when erect, it measured well over half a foot in length. The Qiongyao sisters took turns taking his “second manager” into their cherry-red mouths and sucking on it. Ding Xiaoniao’s hands roamed contentedly over the sisters’ bodies, caressing their small hands tied behind their backs one moment, and their beautiful, exquisite faces the next. Just as the three of them—master and servants—were enjoying themselves, a small bell hanging by the bed suddenly began to jingle. “Ding, ding-ding, ding-ding-ding!” It was the emergency alarm from the dungeon. “Damn it, who the hell has the guts to run wild in the dungeon of No. 76!” The bell jolted Ding Xiaoniao out of his moment of pleasure. He furrowed his brow slightly, and the fire of desire in his heart was instantly doused. The Qiongyao sisters, of course, knew exactly what that bell meant. The two quickly straightened their slender waists and tugged at the ropes in their hands; the ropes binding their wrists behind their backs instantly loosened. After freeing themselves, the sisters leaped off the bed. Without bothering to untie the dense network of ropes binding their bodies, one helped Ding Xiaoniao change his clothes while the other quickly organized the weapons they carried. “Don’t worry. Mountain Tiger and Mountain Leopard can handle routine matters. I don’t believe anyone would dare to draw weapons in the dungeons of Building 76. “First, untie the ropes binding you. We’ll just take our time getting there.” Seeing how swiftly and methodically the Qiongyao sisters moved, Ding Xiaoniao was quite pleased, though he still reminded them not to rush. “Yes, Young Master,” the sisters replied in unison. After helping Ding Xiaoniao get dressed, the sisters untied the ropes binding them, then slipped a small pistol and a dagger into their knee-high boots. A black utility belt, about the width of a palm, was fastened around their slender waists, also bearing a small pistol and a dagger. The two long ropes they had untied were slung over the wide utility belts on their backs. Once the three—mistress and servants—were ready, Xiaoqiong pressed a hidden button by the bed. A secret door opened, and the three quickly stepped into the elevator, disappearing behind the door. In the dungeon, Ruan Yujiao, who had been taken out for a walk by Shan Hu and Shan Bao, had already been brought back. Now, her clothes were stripped off once more, and she was bound, completely naked. Her thighs and calves were bound together in a folded position as she knelt on an iron plate shaped like a washboard. As for Lu Wante and Ruan Rumen, although they were still tightly bound, they had been untied from the iron bars and the execution pillar. Collars attached to chains were now fastened around their necks, with the other end of the chains held in Shan Bao’s hand. It appeared Shan Bao intended to take the two young girls out for some fresh air. Since the principal party came forward to plead, Lu Wanting stopped speaking, but her heart became even more worried. Ding Xiaoniao had captured both sisters here, and it seemed he would not let them go easily. If pleading for her sister failed, she might get herself into trouble too. Ding Xiaoniao looked at the female student kneeling at his feet, tapping his fingers on the table as if deep in thought. Time ticked by, and the girl bound by steel wires and chains inside endured torment with every passing moment. "Please, Young Master Ding, my sister will be crippled if she's bound by those iron chains. Please spare her," the female student's cries grew louder. Perhaps hearing her sister's cries, Ruan Yujiao, who was hanging from a hook, suddenly slipped. Her entire body dangled precariously by her chin. Lu Wanting's heart leaped, but the scene she feared, of the hook piercing her chin, did not occur. After swinging in the air for a moment, Ruan Yujiao managed to support herself with the tips of her toes. Seeing this, Lu Wanting let out a soft sigh of relief. "Well, you don't need to worry about that. The two who are attending to your sister know what they're doing and won't cripple her. I'm naturally squeamish about blood. You see, your sister has been held here for so long, yet there isn't a single scratch on her face or a torn piece of skin on her body," Ding Xiaoniao said to the female student, rolling his eyes. Lu Wanting had also considered this. Indeed, as Ding Xiaoniao said, Ruan Yujiao, bound and hanging by her chin, had her hair falling behind her, clearly revealing her face. The girl was beautiful, even more so than the A'Ping sisters in Lu Wanting's opinion. Her pretty face was pale but unmarred. Her fair, delicate body was bound by thin iron chains, yet it was smooth and unblemished. Under such torture, there was no sign of ripped skin or bloody flesh. Could it be that Ding Xiaoniao truly showed mercy because he was afraid of blood? "Although sister isn't bleeding, she... she looks very distressed. I... I..." The younger girl's heart ached for her sister, but she dared not further provoke Ding Xiaoniao. She sobbed, unsure of what to say. Ding Xiaoniao interrupted her, "Of course she's distressed. Anyone would be distressed just by being bound by those iron chains. Do you want to bear the pain for your sister? But you're too young; you couldn't endure such pain. However, since you're willing to help your sister, I'll grant your wish. You two, tie Miss Ruan Rumeng to the fence," Ding Xiaoniao said, pointing to two burly men. "As you command, Young Master Ding," the two men replied. One of them walked over, lifted the kneeling Ruan Rumeng, and brought her to the iron fence in the middle of the cell. The other man took a bundle of brown hemp rope, as thick as a finger, from the wall. The two men then tightly bound the already thoroughly tied-up girl, Ruan Rumeng, to the fence. While not excessively tight, Ruan Rumeng was securely fastened to the iron bars from head to toe, with ropes around her neck, above and below her breasts, her waist, and her ankles. Ruan Rumeng's hands, tied behind her back, pressed tightly against the iron fence, causing large beads of sweat to instantly form on her forehead from the pain. Despite the unbearable agony, Ruan Rumeng thought of her suffering sister and did not utter a sound. She reasoned that if Ding Xiaoniao could vent his anger on her, allowing her sister to suffer less, then her actions would be worthwhile. After the two men finished binding the girl to the fence, they bowed and retreated to the side. Ding Xiaoniao stood up, walked over, picked up a leather whip hanging on the wall, and, while idly playing with it, approached Ruan Rumeng, who was tied to the fence. With a playful smile, he asked, "Miss Rumeng, are you truly willing to accept punishment in place of your sister?" "I am. Whip me," He Rumeng said, biting her lip. Although her words were firm, her small face had turned pale, and her beautiful eyes were tightly shut. "Very well, then I shall fulfill your sisterly affection." Ding Xiaoniao said, swinging the whip in his hand, feinting twice in the air before bringing it down towards the girl He Yujiao, who was tied to the fence. "Ah!" Lu Wanting, standing nearby, screamed in shock, closing her eyes, unable to bear witnessing the gruesome sight of Ruan Rumeng being whipped. With a "crack-crack" sound, Lu Wanting did not hear Ruan Rumeng's cries of pain. Ruan Rumeng, who had closed her eyes and clenched her teeth, ready to endure the torture, also felt no pain from the whip striking her body. Unable to resist, she opened her eyes and saw that Ding Xiaoniao's whip was striking the iron fence next to her, making a loud clanging noise. "Hahaha..." Ding Xiaoniao burst into laughter, pointing at Ruan Rumeng and Lu Wanting. "Look at you two pampered young ladies. You want to plead for others and take lashes for them? You're already terrified before the whip has even touched you." "Whip me. I won't close my eyes this time," Ruan Rumeng said breathlessly. She felt ashamed of her cowardice. If Ding Xiaoniao whipped her, perhaps he would order her sister to be untied. The damned iron chains were truly making her sister suffer terribly. Thinking of this, Ruan Rumeng painfully twisted her neck, which was bound to the fence, trying to see her suffering sister's condition. To her surprise, she saw that the two jailers had already lowered Ruan Yujiao from the hook and were in the process of untying the iron chains binding her. "Miss Rumeng, you don't need to worry about your sister. If I wanted to harm her, she would have died countless times by now. However, since she wanted to kill me, she must pay the price for her actions, hmph," Ding Xiaoniao said, swinging his whip through the air with a whistling sound. "Rumeng, you foolish girl? What are you doing here? Ding Xiaoniao, you promised me you wouldn't harm my family. Why did you bring my sister here?" Ruan Yujiao, having been released from the jailers' hook, saw her sister bound to the fence and questioned Ding Xiaoniao. Ruan Yujiao had likely not spoken for a long time; her voice was low and hoarse. She had been bound by steel wire for nearly fifteen minutes, and the intense pain had pushed her endurance to its limit. In reality, such cruel binding could only be endured by a girl for a maximum of ten to fifteen minutes. Any longer, and the iron chains might cause permanent damage to her body. At this moment, the two jailers who had bound her were undoing the dense network of iron chains. Her hands, bound tightly behind her, were now free. However, the prolonged binding made it difficult for her to adjust, and her freed arms remained behind her, not yet brought forward. After completely removing the steel wire from Ruan Yujiao, the two jailers handcuffed her behind her back, then helped her up and put her back into the cement pool. "Sister, are you alright?" Seeing her sister unbound and speaking to her, Ruan Rumeng was overcome with joy and tears. "Little Ting just got back from Unit 76, where she must have suffered a lot. Being whipped, handcuffed, and tied up would have been unavoidable. Although you've tied her up before when you played together here, that was just a game. After this ordeal, will Little Ting still be willing to let you tie her up?" Ajiao said with some concern. "Mmm, I was thinking the same thing. Little Ting and Lu Ping didn't know each other before; they were just accidentally captured together by the agents from Unit 76. It's fine to go see her, but let's not tie her up again," Ah Hui replied. When they used to play games, Ah Hui's favorite thing was to tie up Ah Ping and Little Ting. Ah Ping was dignified and beautiful, and Little Ting was lively and pretty. Every time he tied them up, it was a great pleasure for Ah Hui. After not seeing Lu Wanting for so long, seeing her again today, he felt she had become even more beautiful. He really wanted to tie her up again and have some intimate time. However, considering Lu Wanting's current situation, he had to suppress this urgent desire. He thought that after she recovered her mood and felt better, he would find a way to tie her up. There would be plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush. "That's not wrong, but those two idiots, the Narcissus sisters, are really treating Lu Ping like a prisoner. They tie her up tightly every day. Fortunately, Lu Ping doesn't hold it against them. If Little Ting goes to see her like this, will it give Lu Ping other ideas? After all, her own sister went to see her while she was tied up," Ajiao said, although she agreed with Ah Hui, she still felt something was amiss. The reason Lu Ping was still calmly tied up here was entirely due to her trust and gratitude towards Ah Hui and his wife. If she felt insulted, it was inevitable that she would develop a rebellious mindset, and that would be terrible. "No way, is Lu Ping that petty? She also knows that she is still a key target of surveillance by the agents from Unit 76. Little Ting is different; she was just accidentally captured by the agents from Unit 76," Ah Hui analyzed. "We know these things, but Lu Ping might not. Lu Ping was captured by Unit 76 along with Little Ting. Now they are both staying at our house. She has been tied up and confined in our house, unable to move freely. But Little Ting can just run over to see her freely. Seeing this situation, what do you think Lu Ping will think..." "Sister Ajiao, please stop discussing. I want to go see Sister Lu Ping. Please tie me up," Lu Wanting suddenly appeared behind Ah Hui, interrupting their conversation. Lu Wanting and Ruan Rumeng were chatting in the living room and vaguely overheard Ah Hui and his wife's conversation. When they heard that although Duan Lu Ping was at Ah Hui's residence, she did not have her freedom due to the surveillance by the agents from Unit 76, she discussed it with Ruan Rumeng and felt that it was acceptable to be tied up by Ah Hui again in order to see the heroine she admired. In the past, when Lu Wanting played at Ah Hui's place, she had been tied up by him many times. Of course, the mindset during the bondage here was completely different from that at Unit 76. Although she had suffered some torment at Unit 76, which made her slightly resistant to being tied up, as soon as she arrived at Ah Hui's house and had dinner with Ah Hui and his wife, it was as if she had returned to the scene of their previous games, and her mood had completely changed. In this environment, Lu Wanting felt no sense of insecurity about being tied up by Ah Hui again. Hearing that Lu Wanting was willing to be tied up to go see Duan Lu Ping, Ah Hui and his wife exchanged glances, seeing relief in each other's eyes. Ajiao hugged Lu Wanting and said happily, "I knew Little Ting was sensible. But Little Ting, you must have suffered a lot when you were captured by Unit 76. Although Ah Hui said you were mistakenly captured, once you're in a place like that, there's no reasoning. Look, there are still marks on your delicate wrists from the ropes." Ajiao lifted Lu Wanting's qipao sleeve and gently caressed her fair, tender wrist. "It's okay, Sister Ajiao. Although I was tied up and tortured there, this is different. Brother Ah Hui is very gentle when he ties me up, and I'm willing to let him do it," Lu Wanting said, her face blushing, her voice growing softer. Ah Hui listened from the side, his heart filled with joy. He found Lu Wanting, standing before him, more and more adorable the more he looked at her. Seeing Ah Hui's smug expression, Ajiao let out a soft哼 and said, "Hmph, lucky Ah Hui. How about this, I'll accompany you too. Let Ah Hui tie me up as well, and we'll go see Lu Ping together, what do you say?" "Okay, Sister Ajiao, thank you," Lu Wanting nodded. "I want to see Sister Lu Ping too," Ruan Rumeng said softly from behind Lu Wanting. "You?" Ajiao hesitated. "I'm willing to be tied up by Brother Ah Hui too," Ruan Rumeng said softly, lowering her head. Before being captured by Unit 76, the young girl had never been tied up before. Although she still felt lingering fear when she thought about being tied up several times at Unit 76, seeing Sister Ajiao and Lu Wanting willing to accept Ah Hui's bondage to see the Miss Lu Ping they spoke of, her childish nature couldn't help but want to try what it felt like to be tied up when not treated as a prisoner. "Of course, there's no problem with that. Since Miss Rumeng also wants to see Lu Ping, let's all go together," Ah Hui said happily. Having three beautiful young women before him for him to tie up was something he had dreamed of, and now it had become a reality. He was naturally overjoyed. The qipaos and the "Great Restraint" skirt sets that Lu Wanting and Ruan Rumeng were wearing were new clothes they had prepared to wear home. Although they had been tied up once by the Qiongyao sisters, the new clothes were slightly wrinkled, but it did not detract from the girls' beautiful appearance. Ah Hui excitedly took out the specially made light yellow ropes from the large drawer under the living room coffee table and placed them on the table. Then, he picked one up and pulled Lu Wanting in front of him, tying her up with practiced ease. Ah Hui's bondage of Lu Wanting this time was the same as when they used to play games. Ah Hui remembered that the first time he tied up Lu Wanting, he used the "neck-勒-style five-flower knot." Although Ah Hui had used other tying methods on Lu Wanting later, both Lu Wanting and Ah Hui agreed that the "neck-勒-style five-flower knot" was the most suitable for Lu Wanting. Therefore, this time, Ah Hui still used the "neck-勒-style five-flower knot" to tie up Lu Wanting. Ah Hui was very skilled at tying Lu Wanting. He controlled the tightness of the ropes perfectly, so that Lu Wanting did not feel uncomfortable, yet she felt that she was truly tied up tightly and not just going through the motions. When tying Ruan Rumeng, Ah Hui was very gentle and cautious. Because Ah Hui saw that Ruan Rumeng was just a teenage student, although she agreed to be tied up, he still felt a bit reluctant to go through with it. Therefore, when tying her, he only crossed her small hands behind her back, tied them to her back, tied the knot, and finished the bondage. A shriek erupted from the bedroom, and soon both Ruan Rumeng and her sister Ruan Yujiao, who was lying on the bed, were bound. After tying up Ruan Yujiao and Ruan Rumeng, the two Japanese soldiers produced two small, red, round plastic balls from somewhere. The balls were slightly larger than ping pong balls, with two finger-width leather straps attached to each side. The two Japanese soldiers each placed a ball into the mouths of Ruan Yujiao and Ruan Rumeng, then tightly tied the leather straps behind their heads. This way, Ruan Rumeng and Ruan Yujiao could only make muffled sounds and were rendered completely speechless. These Japanese were indeed well-prepared, not only bringing ropes to bind beautiful women but also gags to silence them. Although the gags and ropes were brought by the Japanese, the method used to bind Ruan Rumeng and Ruan Yujiao was still the classic "five-flower knot" around the neck, and they were tied by two agents from Unit 76. These agents in black, of course, knew that Xiao Qiong and Xiao Yao were Ding Xiaoniao's personal bodyguards. Although the two were also very beautiful, they dared not tie up the Qiong Yao sisters. They merely threatened Xiao Yao into unlocking the steel chain locked to the head of the bed and led the tightly bound Ruan Yujiao and Ruan Rumeng sisters out of the bedroom. Although Ruan Yujiao was skilled in combat, her body had not yet fully recovered. In fact, even if Ruan Yujiao could escape on her own in this situation, any struggle would surely result in the Japanese soldiers shooting and killing her sister and the others in the room. Therefore, Ruan Yujiao took no action. Without any resistance, she allowed the agents to bind her in the "five-flower knot" and gag her. Seeing the Ruan sisters being marched out of the bedroom, bound in the "five-flower knot," Teng Tiangang burst into laughter. He then yanked Lu Wanting, who was sitting on the sofa, to her feet. With a wave of his hand, he pushed Lu Wanting and A Ping towards the agents in black from Unit 76. Two agents from Unit 76 stepped forward, seized Lu Wanting and A Ping, and brought them under control. After Lu Wanting and A Ping were brought under control by the agents, two more Japanese soldiers walked up from behind. They took out two items identical to the red balls stuffed into the mouths of the Ruan sisters and inserted them into the mouths of Lu Wanting and A Ping, respectively. They then tied the small leather straps behind their heads. Thus, all four beautiful women were bound in the "five-flower knot," their mouths gagged, rendered speechless, and completely at Fujita Gang's mercy. Seeing the four stunning beauties so humiliated, Ah Hui stood by, anxious but helpless. He never imagined that he, who had brought three young women to discuss a plan against Fujita Gang with Ruan Yujiao, would be counterattacked by Fujita Gang, who captured the three women. It felt as if he had tied them up himself and handed them over to Fujita Gang. He had truly lost more than he gained, a huge setback. Fujita Gang laughed heartily as he saw the four beautiful young women standing before him, securely bound. He examined them closely and discovered that besides the two women he had seen bound here that day, the other two women captured today were even more beautiful than the first two. This was truly an unexpected delight. Fujita Gang had originally come for Lu Wanting and Ruan Rumeng, the two women he had seen that day, but he had unexpectedly captured four beauties, both principal and interest. "Warden Ding, I'll take these four beautiful female prisoners back and interrogate them thoroughly. Rest assured, I'll share any intelligence I obtain with you, hahaha!" Fujita Gang said, patting Ding Xiaoniao's shoulder forcefully and laughing loudly. He had obtained what he desired, and there were unexpected gains as well. He had long forgotten Ding Xiaoniao's disrespect towards him that day and had no intention of holding it against him. He didn't even intend to hold it against Xiao Qiong and Xiao Yao, who had embarrassed him. He would deal with those two exceptionally skilled beauties when the opportunity arose. This time, capturing four great beauties was enough for him to enjoy for a while. Ding Xiaoniao stood there blankly, allowing Teng Tiangang to flaunt his victory before him, his face devoid of any expression. From the moment Fujita Gang kicked down the door until the Ruan sisters were bound by the agents and led out of the bedroom, and then until all four beauties were completely subdued and controlled, Ding Xiaoniao had remained silent. He was so shocked by the sudden turn of events that he was somewhat bewildered. He had never dreamed that such an absurd incident would occur in a regular prison under his control. He had been plotting against Fujita Gang for the past few days, and it seemed Fujita Gang had never relaxed his surveillance on him and had been plotting against him all along. He had been too careless, caught completely off guard. Now that four beautiful women had fallen into his hands, and given the current situation, there was no way to rescue them. What should he do? Thoughts raced through Ding Xiaoniao's mind. Although Ah Hui relied on his brother being the head of Unit 76 and Fujita Gang not daring to do anything to him, it was impossible for him to speak up and save the four women. "Warden Ding, Warden Ding, why aren't you speaking?" Seeing Ding Xiaoniao's dazed look, Fujita Gang became even more smug. He waved his hand in front of Ding Xiaoniao's face and asked. At this moment, Xiao Qiong and Xiao Yao had already moved to stand behind Ding Xiaoniao. Xiao Qiong glared at Fujita Gang with fury, wishing she could bite him to death. For Ding Xiaoniao's safety, although she had some reservations about these beautiful women and always wanted to find ways to bind and humiliate them, this was ultimately just her petty jealousy at play, and she didn't harbor much hatred towards them. Now, seeing Lu Wanting and the others fall into Fujita Gang's hands, she couldn't help but feel extremely indignant. This Fujita Gang was a lecher, and who knew what kind of cruel torment Lu Wanting and the others would suffer at his hands.
