Su Qi crossed her arms and sneered, "I heard you really enjoy getting cozy with men."
Lin Li hastily shook his head in denial. "That's all a misunderstanding online! I was framed—that's why I ended up with those two men... I swear, I like women!"
He used to enjoy sleeping around with women.
But now, he had become a eunuch.
These days, he was utterly powerless—physically incapable—so he hadn’t been with any women at all.
"Oh really?" Su Qi scoffed. "We're strangers here, Lin Li. No need to lie to us."
"Are you curious about what your 'reward' is?"
Su Wu and Su Ba both turned to look at Su Qi.
Honestly, they were curious too.
Lin Li didn’t dare disobey her. Though he dreaded whatever this "reward" might be, he forced a nod. "Y-yes, I want to know."
"Then I’ll indulge you." Su Qi clapped her hands.
Six ragged beggars appeared, their faces covered in unkempt beards, reeking of filth, their stench unbearable.
Lin Li pinched his nose, confusion written all over his face.
What were these beggars doing here? What was this woman planning?
Su Qi announced, "They are your reward."
Originally, Boss Su had arranged for just two men.
But two men weren’t enough, so she had requested an upgrade—hence the six beggars.
Lin Li frowned. "Miss, I don’t understand. What do you mean by this?"
Su Qi smirked maliciously. "Lin Li, since you love men so much, we prepared these just for you. Enjoy yourself."
Lin Li’s pupils dilated in horror.
This was the "reward" she meant?!
No—this wasn’t a reward. It was punishment. Torture!
His entire body trembled. He dropped to his knees, crawling toward Su Qi, desperate to grab her hand and beg for mercy.
But the moment he got close, Su Qi kicked him away.
"Don’t touch me," she spat, her face twisted in disgust.
Su Qi was actually Chen Yu—the same girl Shen Qianqian had relentlessly bullied.
With natural talent for martial arts and relentless training, Chen Yu had become a shadow guard in just over a year.
The position of "Su Qi" had been vacant for a long time, so Chen Yu took it, becoming the new Su Qi.
She glared at Lin Li with contempt.
How Shen Qianqian had ever fallen for such a disgusting man was beyond her. That girl was not only stupid but had terrible taste.
Lin Li clutched his chest, the pain from Su Qi’s kick searing through him.
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself up and knelt again before Su Qi, Su Wu, and Su Ba.
"Please, spare me! I’ll do anything—just let me go!" he pleaded, voice shaking.
Su Qi remained unmoved.
"Lin Li, these beggars are all yours. Have fun," she said coldly.
Su Wu and Su Ba finally understood.
So this was the "reward" she meant.
Su Qi turned to the beggars. "Lin Li here is in desperate need of men. Do your job well, and when it’s over, each of you will get a million and a one-way ticket out of the country."
The beggars’ eyes lit up with greed.
They had arms and legs—they could’ve found work in factories or labor jobs.
But they were lazy, surviving off handouts instead.
Now, someone was offering them a million and a new life abroad? They weren’t about to refuse.
Sure, they preferred women, but for a million, they’d make an exception.
"Don’t worry, miss. We’ll take good care of him," they promised, thumping their chests.
Lin Li’s face turned deathly pale.
Memories of that night flooded his mind—the night with those two men, already sickening enough.
Now, with these beggars…
Despair gripped him.
No.
He couldn’t let this happen!
His first instinct was to run.
His backside still ached from the last time, torn and bleeding, but he ignored the pain.
Scrambling to his feet, he bolted.
But he barely made it two steps before the beggars yanked him back by the shoulders, slamming him to the ground.
Piece by piece, his clothes were torn away.
Su Qi watched gleefully, phone in hand, snapping photos.
Hmph.
This was what he got for messing with their young miss’s boyfriend.
Su Wu and Su Ba exchanged uneasy glances.
"Su Qi, you’re a girl," Su Wu muttered.
When Su Qi had first joined the shadow guards a year ago, she’d seemed so fragile.
Now? She was downright ruthless.
Su Qi snorted. "So what if I’m a girl? I’m recording this video so the whole world can see Lin Li’s true colors."
She kept filming as Lin Li’s screams of terror echoed across the wasteland.
"Get off me!"
"Don’t touch me!"
"STOP!"

Meanwhile, at the hospital...
Jiang Shuqin returned to the ward, only to find it empty. Frowning, she checked the bathroom—no sign of her son.
A wave of panic hit her as she remembered Lin Li’s past suicide attempt.
She rushed to the doctor’s office.
"Doctor!" she cried, grabbing his arm. "Did you send Lin Li for tests?"
"Lin Li?" The doctor adjusted his glasses, confused. "He should be resting in his room right now."
"No, he’s gone! I’ve looked everywhere!"
The doctor hurried to check.
Sure enough, the bed was empty.
His frown deepened.
A missing patient? This was a first.
He immediately alerted the hospital to review the security footage.
The cameras showed three people entering the ward and wheeling Lin Li away.
Jiang Shuqin’s face paled. "It’s Lin Xuan! He’s taking revenge! These people must be his lackeys!"
If Lin Li fell into Lin Xuan’s hands, he’d suffer unimaginable torment.
Her son!
She had to call the police—catch Lin Xuan red-handed!
Jiang Shuqin dialed emergency services, then contacted the rest of the Lin family.
Soon, everyone was searching for Lin Li.
The police arrived quickly.
"Are you the one who reported this?" an officer asked, eyeing Jiang Shuqin.
