“Backing out isn’t an option!” Xiao Han shook his head, then said, “Our car got hit by you guys and crashed into a tree, look...”
“Here... take it!” The man with the big gold chain hurriedly handed the keys to Xiao Han, excitedly saying, “Hero, you drive my car. We... we’ll take a cab.”
Xiao Han took the keys and then handed them to Jiang Xiaoqing. Jiang Xiaoqing hesitated, not because she couldn’t drive a BMW, but because the car belonged to the man with the big gold chain, and she dared not touch it. However, her hesitation was brief. With Xiao Han by her side, she felt secure. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoqing immediately took the keys, then got into the driver’s seat and started the car.
Xiao Han also got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat, his expression indifferent, gazing straight ahead.
The BMW slowly drove away.
“Hero, take care, have a safe journey!” the big gold chain man urgently waved his hand.
...
Watching his car being driven away, the big gold chain man felt as if his heart was being carved out, but outwardly he acted as if nothing was wrong. As soon as the BMW left, the smile crowding his face immediately dispersed, replaced by an endless sadness.
“Brother, are we just going to let that woman go?”
“Brother, what are we going to do?”
“Brother, we finally caught that woman, are we... are we just going to go back and report to the boss like this?!”
The few henchmen seemed extremely unhappy. “You bunch of idiots, you... you are simply going to be the death of me!” the big gold chain man cursed.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” they all asked in unison.
“Shut up!” The big gold chain man, furious and embarrassed, said, “Go back and find the boss. It’s not our fault. That kid is too tough. We couldn’t do anything!”
“Right, right, right!” They all nodded in agreement, unanimously shifting the blame onto Xiao Han. After all, there were no major issues on their own part. They could only blame it on Jiang Xiaoqing having a formidable figure by her side, whom they simply couldn’t handle.
Afterwards, they quickly flagged down a car and swiftly left the scene. As for the accident scene, when the traffic police arrived, they would definitely check the license plate of the car, which belonged to the TV station. They would contact the people from the TV station to handle it. Jiang Xiaoqing naturally didn’t need to worry about it anymore.
After the car had left, Jiang Xiaoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A silence lingered inside the car, making it extremely awkward. The usually agitated and quite rude Jiang Xiaoqing had now become very docile and obedient. With her face flushed and head bowed, she drove feeling extremely embarrassed in front of Xiao Han.
Jiang Xiaoqing’s face was red with embarrassment, especially because Xiao Han wasn’t speaking. This silent silence was like a strike on Jiang Xiaoqing’s conscience.
“What do you plan to do?” Xiao Han asked.
“I don’t know!” Jiang Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “At the TV station, I earn eight thousand a month, which is quite high. But this income is not enough to cover their monthly interest. If it keeps increasing like this, I’m afraid I can only opt for death.”
“Sigh...” Xiao Han sighed and said, “If someone is willing to help you clear the debt, but you have to exchange your most important possession. Would you?”
“What possession?” Jiang Xiaoqing asked anxiously.
“Your virginity!” Xiao Han replied lightly.
“What!” Jiang Xiaoqing was shocked, perhaps because the term was too terrifying, so she didn’t grasp it immediately. For a proud woman like Jiang Xiaoqing, being bought for her virginity with money was utterly shameful and humiliating, something she had never considered.
“I mean, if someone offers you one million three hundred and fifty thousand yuan for your virginity, would you accept?” Xiao Han asked.
“You’re crazy!” Jiang Xiaoqing stared at Xiao Han open-mouthed.
Gach...
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoqing swerved the car onto the opposite lane. Xiao Han, quick to react, pulled the steering wheel back sharply. The car swung in a drastic ‘S’ shape on the road. Other cars dodged frantically, narrowly avoiding a pile-up. The chaos made the other drivers veer off.
“Could you please drive carefully?” Xiao Han glared at her sharply, then said, “If you don’t pay attention, we could end up dying on this road.”
“Yes, yes!” Jiang Xiaoqing quickly nodded.
Jiang Xiaoqing steadied her mind and spirit, focusing intently on driving. Yet, her heart was undergoing turmoil, a stormy clash of waves. If it weren’t for the debt, perhaps she would have slapped Xiao Han. But now, she had to seriously consider it. Desperation forced her to think about things she wouldn’t otherwise consider. If trading her virginity could stabilize her life, if it could free her from those high-interest loans and constant harassment, perhaps it was the only way out. After all, although virginity is valuable, isn’t life even more so?
If she refused to trade her virginity and they caught her again, she would inevitably be brutally abused by several men, then forced to work at a club. Eventually, she would become a woman available to anyone, by then a woman worth nothing.
But if she sold her virginity, then how was she different from those prostitutes?
Thinking this, Jiang Xiaoqing’s heart was in anguish. On one hand, debt collectors relentlessly pursued her, almost costing her her life. On the other hand, it involved her reputation, her virtue. She almost had no choice. Despite her reluctance, Jiang Xiaoqing had to consider her life, her future. Some things are indeed beyond our control, utterly inevitable.
