The bespectacled man perked up immediately upon hearing this.

"Well now... I never expected this, what a coincidence!"

"Huh? Y-you know my boyfriend? Could you let me go..."

"Shut up! Next, listen carefully to what I say. You'll be performing in a moment. If you perform well, your life might be spared! But if there's even the slightest mistake, your life can end right here!"

The knife tip pressed forward again with force, making the female internet celebrity Hu Yan sob quietly.

Immediately after, the bespectacled man explained what needed to be done, making Hu Yan memorize it.

He then made Hu Yan repeat it back.

After she performed it once and he confirmed everything was foolproof.

The bespectacled man took Hu Yan in the elevator up to the 8th floor.

Once they reached the 8th floor and exited the elevator.

Hu Yan, still under duress, saw two other men in the hallway ahead.

Finally seeing other people, she was about to desperately scream for help.

But at that moment.

The words exchanged as those two men walked over and spoke with the bespectacled man plunged her into utter despair.

Immediately after.

The bespectacled man and the other two men who appeared on the 8th floor carefully crouched on either side of the door to apartment 801, staying out of the peephole's line of sight.

They positioned Hu Yan in front of the door to proceed with the plan.

Hu Yan first knocked on the door and called out, "Haoxia! I'm here! Open up!"

As the saying goes, many men and women are born actors.

Earlier, she had been terrified by the threats, crying.

Her speech had been faltering.

But now, she appeared completely calm, her words sounding perfectly ordinary.

A male voice soon came from inside the door, "You're finally here, I've been waiting forever!"

Hu Yan outside the door, "Coming to see you, of course I had to take a good shower and get all dolled up?"

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness.

However, the door didn't open immediately.

The man inside asked again, "By the way, on your way here, you didn't run into any strange people or things, did you?"

Hu Yan replied, "I did!"

The voice inside instantly fell silent, then asked nervously, "What happened?"

Hu Yan, "It was that rideshare driver. He thought I was pretty and wanted to add my WeChat, tried to hit on me."

Hearing it seemed to be just that, the person inside seemed to relax.

Hu Yan sounded a bit displeased, "Haoxia, why are you interrogating me like I'm a criminal? Are you opening the door or not? If you don't, I'm leaving!!!"

"Hey! Wait a second, it should just be you alone outside, right?"

"Of course, it's just me! Don't tell me you brought some other girl over to join in for a threesome?"

"And are you opening the door or not? If not, I'm seriously leaving!!"

"Don't! I'm opening it now!"

Inside was indeed Kong Haoxia.

He hurriedly unlocked the door.

He opened it a crack, vaguely catching a glimpse of the alluring figure outside.

Then he opened the door halfway.

Getting a clear view of the beautiful Hu Yan outside.

He then motioned for her to come in.

But at that moment, the three men hiding on either side outside the door, the bespectacled man and the other two, all rushed out in a surge.

The instant they rushed out, Kong Haoxia inside the door was completely stunned.

After the initial shock, he immediately realized something and tried to slam the door shut.

But how could one man hold back three?

Consequently, the door was pushed open. He himself was thrown off balance by the force and fell to the floor.

The two men other than the bespectacled man immediately pounced on him, pinning him down.

Meanwhile, the bespectacled man, still holding Hu Yan who tried to seize the chance to escape, walked in and closed the door to apartment 801 behind them.

"Hu Yan! Who are these three guys?!"

Pinned down, Kong Haoxia struggled violently and desperately, but unfortunately, his struggle was futile.

After being firmly restrained, he was tightly bound with ropes the two men had brought with them.

Trussed up like a worm, he was mercilessly dumped on the living room floor.

He complained towards Hu Yan.

Thinking these three men were brought by Hu Yan, wondering if this was some kind of honey trap she was playing on him.

"I! I don't know either! On my way here, I was ambushed in the elevator! I was wondering who they were! Maybe they have a grudge against you!!!"

Hu Yan also cried bitterly, tears streaming down her lovely face, a pitiful sight.

At this point, Kong Haoxia's face was filled with extreme tension. Seeing Hu Yan didn't seem to be lying, these three men clearly weren't with her in a deliberate honey trap.

Then... that means...

"Are you three also living here?"

Kong Haoxia thought to himself, could his luck really be this bad?

He calls over a girl, and ends up getting taken advantage of like this?

"Clever. My name is Jia Tao. Pleased to meet you, Kong Haoxia."

The bespectacled man was indeed Jia Tao.

As for the other two.

They were both his partners.

One was the young man who impersonated a food delivery courier, accompanying Zhao Hongwei who specialized in counterfeit Hermès bags.

The other was a middle-aged uncle in his fifties.

His face was heavily powdered white, his lips painted with bright red lipstick, including blusher on both cheeks.

He seemed eerie and abnormal.

Kong Haoxia didn't know Jia Tao at all, so he asked, "What do you want?!"

Jia Tao, standing, looked down at the bound Kong Haoxia, "What do you think?"

Kong Haoxia gritted his teeth, "As long as you don't kill me, don't take my life, I'll give you money! Just name your price!!!"

"Money?"

Upon hearing that word, Jia Tao viciously kicked Kong Haoxia in the stomach.

"You damn bastards, you think having a bit of stinking money makes you so great?"

"You think with a bit of stinking money, you can do whatever you want, steal other people's girlfriends and wives?!"

He delivered three consecutive kicks, making Kong Haoxia retch up a mouthful of bitter fluid.

Fortunately, he hadn't eaten much in the morning, only drinking water, otherwise he would have vomited everything.

"B-brother! I don't know what you've been through! But as the saying goes! The person you hate the most is actually the person you envy the most!"

"I'll give you tens of millions, then won't you become a rich man too! Able to do whatever you want?!"

Circumstances force compromise.

Despite being kicked three times, Kong Haoxia could only act like a coward in front of Jia Tao now.

"Heh heh heh, being trapped here now, money is just enough to get by for me."

"Besides, you think I don't know? Even though you're very rich, right now you can't come up with a single cent?!"

Kong Haoxia was stunned. How did this guy in front of him know that? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Before he could figure it out, he heard Jia Tao say, "However, although I'm not interested in money."

"I am quite interested in NTR."

He twisted his neck from side to side.

Jia Tao planted a kiss on Hu Yan's snow-white, delicate cheek.

Hu Yan trembled with fear, not daring to offer any resistance.

Seeing this, Kong Haoxia's expression became complicated.

Jia Tao then turned his head to the other two unwanted observers and said, "Alright, you two can leave now. Thanks."

The two men gave Jia Tao a slight smile and said, "Enjoy yourselves."

Then they left apartment 801, closing the door behind them.
