Reborn-After-C37

Chapter 37: Are you here to extract information?

The room’s decor was quite intimate.

Every detail seemed designed to stimulate the senses and trigger a rush of hormones.

After closing the door, Shen Fei began surveying the surroundings.

“Are you looking for cameras? There’s no need, there aren’t any!”

Noticing Shen Fei’s concerns, Tiantian spoke in a detached tone.

She then began unbuttoning her clothes, one button at a time.

“… What are you doing?” Shen Fei asked in alarm.

Tiantian looked surprised. “You brought me to the room… isn’t it to do that?”

“No, no, no, first, please give me a neck massage!” Shen Fei replied, moving his neck as if feeling discomfort, and then laid down on the bed casually.

“Neck massage?”

Tiantian was puzzled; this was the first time in all these days that she had heard such an unremarkable request. After all, most of the previous clients immediately stripped down as soon as they entered.

But since Shen Fei had asked, she obediently sat beside him and began to massage his neck.

“How’s the soundproofing in this room?”

“The soundproofing is good! And there are no recording devices or cameras!”

However, Shen Fei remained silent.

He had approached Tiantian because he saw the resistance in her eyes, the part of her that hadn’t yet submitted to her surroundings.

But now, he wasn’t sure of her intentions.

After a brief pause, he cautiously asked, “What did you used to do for work?”

Tiantian froze at his question, her expression turning serious.

After a long silence, Shen Fei didn’t rush her.

“I… Two months ago, I was a third-year university student,” Tiantian’s voice trembled slightly.

“So how did you end up…?”

Shen Fei’s question was interrupted as Tiantian gave a wry smile.

“How did I end up here, you mean?”

Tiantian wasn’t sure whether Shen Fei was good or bad, but everything that had happened so far made her feel a strange sense of trust toward him.

“Are you here to extract information from me?”

“No!” Shen Fei answered firmly.

Tiantian didn’t want to probe any further into the reasons behind his question.

Braving the risk of further mistreatment, her voice grew heavier as she began to explain.

“It’s all because of my worthless father! He borrowed money from loan sharks and then disappeared, leaving my mom and me to struggle on our own. The lenders gave us a month to repay the loan, but 500,000 is too much, and their interest rates are sky-high. No matter how hard I try to make money, I just can’t pay it off!”

“Helpless, I had to swallow my pride and start going to high-end places, looking for someone to sponsor me. But none of them were willing to pay me 500,000 in one go…”

“A month later, the person who came to collect was Liu Youheng from Liyou Group. He had my mom and little brother captured and made a video to threaten me.”

“And then, you probably guessed the outcome… I came here to pay off the debt. If I didn’t work here, what would happen to my mom and little brother? I had no choice, there was no way out!”

Shen Fei frowned. “How much debt do you still owe now?”

“How much?” Tiantian gave a bitter laugh. “It’s impossible to pay it off…”

Shen Fei had already guessed this, but he didn’t interrupt her complaints.

“I thought if I worked hard and served enough clients, I could pay off the loan quickly… but the interest is so high! Every day, the debt grows at an unimaginable rate! I’ll never be able to repay it. And after half a month, they even drugged my food, making me addicted, using the loan to buy drugs… and now my debt is just growing and growing… How could I ever repay it?”

Tiantian’s voice trembled with emotion, full of despair.

“Have you ever tried to escape?” Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

“Escape? Of course I tried. A while ago, I ran away with Xiao Zhen, but we didn’t get far before they found us. I fell, and Xiao Zhen kept running, but she was hit by Liu Youheng’s car! When they brought me back, I was beaten and threatened!”

Tiantian seemed lost in her memories, continuing, “In the past two months, I’ve seen so many girls try to escape this hellish place. But every time they’re caught and brought back, beaten up, and even worse, five girls have already died at the hands of these people!”

Tiantian shuddered involuntarily as she recalled the deaths, and then fell silent.

The room was filled with an oppressive silence.

“Do you really trust me like this? Aren’t you worried I’ll tell them what you said?” Shen Fei hesitated, glancing at Tiantian.

“Yes, I’m scared, but I have to take a chance. Maybe there’s a chance of survival? But who knows? The power behind Tian Sheng Hotel is too terrifying!”

Tiantian suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“But I’m not afraid either. Everyone will die eventually. In a place like this, an early death might be a release.”

Upon hearing Tiantian’s words and remembering her fate in her past life, Shen Fei couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow.

It was easy to guess that Tiantian’s death in her previous life was likely because she had revealed this information to the wrong person.

“Do you remember the night you and Xiao Zhen tried to escape? What kind of car did Liu Youheng drive?” Shen Fei asked.

Without needing to think, Tiantian answered immediately, “It was a white van. The license plate number was SHEN GS833B!”

After answering, Tiantian suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Shen Fei.

“You investigated all this. Are you a journalist? Or a police officer?”

Her voice was full of hope.

She didn’t want to spend another day in this living nightmare.

But the power of Tian Sheng Hotel was too strong!

Tiantian remembered that half a month ago, Tian Sheng Hotel had almost faced a crisis. She thought freedom was within reach, but the next day, the alarm was deactivated, and everything went back to normal.

Having already felt a strange connection with Shen Fei, Tiantian now pinned all her hopes on him.

“Don’t worry about who I am. You just need to remember, everything we’ve talked about here today will be heard by no one else, except for the two of us! Unless Tian Sheng is finished, and the people behind it are from the Inspection Office!”

After a pause, Shen Fei got up from the bed and deliberately messed up the sheets.

“After I leave, you can move some of the objects in the room around, just like how they were after they serviced other clients. When you go out, say I paid for a 30,000 service. I’m going to take a shower now. After that, you know what to do.”

With that, Shen Fei walked into the bathroom, leaving Tiantian behind.
