195: Chapter 195 Shang Youya in Despair

Scar Strong sneered, turned, and walked out of the room with his three lackeys, casually closing the security door behind them.

Silence returned to the room once more, leaving only Lou Dong and Shang Yuya inside.

Shang Yuya slumped on the sofa, tears streaming down her face as she stared blankly ahead, looking as if she had lost her soul.

Lou Dong slowly stood up and walked over to Shang Yuya. Seeing her tear-streaked face, a hint of guilt flickered in his heart.

But as soon as he thought of the threats from Scar Strong and his men, his heart hardened again.

"Yuya, I'm sorry... I had no choice..."

Lou Dong's voice trembled slightly. "If I didn't do this, they would have cut off my hands... I can't lose my hands..."

"I'm sorry?"

Shang Yuya snapped her head up, her eyes filled with rage and despair.

"Lou Dong, you coward! To save your own hands, you're actually handing me over to be defiled by those people! How can you face me?"

"I didn't want to... but I have no other way!"

Lou Dong's emotions grew heated as well. "I owe so much money, and I can't pay it back at all! They aren't people to be trifled with; they really would have cut off my hands!"

"So you can just sacrifice me?" Shang Yuya cried out.

"For you, I broke ties with my parents and endured so much hardship and suffering. I thought you had finally changed for the better, but I never expected you to be this kind of person! Cao Kun was right—you're just a piece of trash!"

At the mention of Cao Kun, a flash of resentment crossed Lou Dong's eyes.

If it weren't for that man, his plan would have succeeded long ago, and he wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.

But now, he had no time to think about that.

"Stop talking!" Lou Dong interrupted her, his tone cold. "It's useless to say any of this now. You must listen to me and take the medicine!"

He walked over to the water dispenser, filled a cup, then opened the medicine bottle and poured all the white powder inside, stirring it thoroughly.

The white powder quickly dissolved in the water, turning it into a transparent liquid.

"Drink it." Lou Dong held the cup and walked over to Shang Yuya, speaking in a forceful tone.

Shang Yuya turned her head away and said resolutely, "I won't drink it! Don't even think about it!"

"You must drink it!" Lou Dong's gaze turned fierce.

"If you don't drink it, they won't just cut off my hands; they'll force themselves on you anyway! You'll suffer even more then!"

Shang Yuya remained unmoved, her mouth clamped shut.

She knew that once she drank this medicine, what awaited her would be endless humiliation.

She would rather die than endure that kind of pain.

Seeing her determination, Lou Dong's patience gradually evaporated.

He knew time was running out; Scar Strong and the others were still waiting outside.

If he took too long, the consequences would be unthinkable.

He no longer hesitated. He lunged forward, grabbed Shang Yuya's jaw, and forced her mouth open.

Then, he raised the cup and forcibly poured the liquid into Shang Yuya's mouth.

"Mmph..."

Shang Yuya struggled desperately, trying to spit the water out, but Lou Dong held her jaw so tightly she couldn't move at all.

Most of the liquid was swallowed, with only a small amount spilling onto her clothes.

After forcing down the medicine, Lou Dong let go and pushed Shang Yuya aside like a piece of trash.

Looking at Shang Yuya's tear-stained face and despairing eyes, a trace of guilt flashed in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by fear.

"Don't blame me... I had no choice..."

Lou Dong whispered a sentence, then turned and walked out of the room, leaving Shang Yuya alone in the cold space.

Exiting the room, Lou Dong saw Scar Strong and his men leaning against the wall smoking, their eyes full of impatience.

"Brother Qiang, I've fed her the medicine." Lou Dong lowered his head, not daring to look them in the eye.

Scar Strong threw down his cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot, a wicked smile curling on his lips. "Smart move. Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

With that, he took the lead, pushed open the security door, and walked in.

The three lackeys followed him inside, while Lou Dong was left outside.

Lou Dong leaned against the cold wall, covering his ears tightly with his hands, but the sounds of Shang Yuya's tearful pleas and the lewd laughter of Scar Strong's group still drifted out.

Those sounds pierced his ears like needles, making his whole body uncomfortable, yet he didn't dare to make a move.

He could only curl up in the corner like a frightened rat, praying for it all to end quickly.

Inside, Scar Strong and his three lackeys surrounded the sofa.

Shang Yuya was slumped on the sofa, her face flushed as her breathing gradually became rapid.

The effects of the Aphrodisiac were starting to kick in. A wave of heat surged from deep within her body, making her limbs go limp, until she barely had the strength to keep her eyes open.

But a sliver of consciousness remained. Seeing the four predatory men before her, fear washed over her heart like ice water, making her tremble uncontrollably.

She struggled to stand up and flee, but her legs wouldn't obey. As soon as she exerted pressure, she collapsed back onto the sofa.

"Oh, little beauty, is the medicine starting to work?"

Scar Strong stepped forward with a grin, reaching out a rough hand to stroke Shang Yuya's cheek.

His eyes were filled with greed and malice, sizing up Shang Yuya as if she were a piece of prey.

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

Shang Yuya roared with all her might, waving her hands to push Scar Strong away.

Her voice was raspy from weakness, yet it still carried a trace of unyielding defiance.

"Get away?"

Scar Strong grabbed Shang Yuya's wrist and twisted it hard. She immediately cried out in pain.

"Little beauty, stop struggling. Your man already sold you to us. If you behave, you'll suffer less!"

"Impossible! Dong Zi wouldn't do this to me!"

Shang Yuya cried out, tears falling like broken strings of pearls.

Even though Lou Dong's previous actions had already left her disheartened, at this moment, she still didn't want to believe that the man she loved would truly push her into such an abyss.

"He wouldn't?"

Scar Strong burst into laughter, his tone full of mockery.

"If your man hadn't begged us and fed you that Aphrodisiac himself, why would we be here? If you don't believe me, go out and ask that coward of a man yourself!"

Scar Strong's words were like a hammer, smashing ruthlessly against Shang Yuya's heart.

She remembered Lou Dong's ferocity when he forced the medicine down her throat, and his cold, decisive back as he walked out of the room. The last shred of fantasy in her heart was completely shattered.

It turned out that everything Cao Kun said was true—Lou Dong really was a complete piece of trash!

Immense despair and a chilling coldness swept over Shang Yuya. Her body shook violently, and her eyes filled with a deathly stillness.
