The Quagmire of Desire: From Gambling Addict and Village Flower to Movie Queen

At this moment, people gathered around. A bald, burly man walked over with a grin, looking Meiling up and down: "Hey, Brother Li, your wife's two friends are quite good-looking."

Another tall, thin man chimed in, "Brother Li, since your wife is so unreasonable, why don't you let her and her friends stay and have some fun with us brothers? Money's no object."

Li Dafu grinned: "That's great. If you want, go ahead and do it, as long as you pay."

Upon hearing this, the men around him burst into laughter.

A portly gambler rubbed his hands together and walked over, grabbing Xiaoqin's cheongsam collar and yanking it hard.

With a ripping sound, the cheongsam was torn open, revealing her white breasts.

Xiaoqin screamed and covered her chest, but the man was relentless and ripped off her panties, revealing her round buttocks and inner thighs.

"Damn, so white!" He swallowed hard and lowered his head to nibble.

Xiaoqin struggled and cried, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

Another man pounced on Meiling.

Meiling raised her leg to kick, but the bald, burly man grabbed her ankle and pushed her against the wall.

"Don't rush, let me see what your figures are like first." He placed one hand on Meiling's shoulder and used the other to pull open her collar.

Meiling's bra clasp popped open, and her breasts bounced out.

The man chuckled and took a bite.

"Damn, that's so sexy!"

Sun Xiaoyan was grabbed by another man and pinned against the wall.

"You beasts!" Xiaoyan shouted, "Don't touch me, I'm calling the police!"

"Call the police?" the man laughed loudly. "Even if the police came, they wouldn't be able to find this place! This is my best buddy's territory, who would dare to come looking for trouble?"

Meiling was pinned down and unable to move, her clothes were all torn off.

She was tied to that broken chair.

The two bodyguards who had been knocked down were also tied up and thrown into a corner.

Xiaoqin's situation was even worse. The man had completely stripped her of her cheongsam, revealing her voluptuous body.

She was pinned to the card table, her legs spread apart, completely naked in front of everyone present.

"Come and see, isn't this woman nice?" the man said smugly, pointing at Xiaoqin's breasts and buttocks, "Very moist!"

Xiaoqin shook her head while crying, but she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

Just as the man was about to make a move, a loud bang suddenly came from behind him.

The casino's iron gate was kicked open.

Everyone turned around and saw seven or eight people standing at the door.

The woman leading the group was wearing a leather jacket and carrying a steel pipe; she was Li Yan.

Behind Li Yan were about a dozen burly men wearing black T-shirts, each carrying a weapon.

"Wow, this is quite lively." Li Yan, a cigarette dangling from her lips, strolled in leisurely. "Li Dafu, you're a real talent, kidnapping your own child to sell?"

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Li Yan pointed the steel pipe in her hand and said, "Whoever fucking started it, kneels down first."

The bald, burly man who was on top of Meiling turned around and was about to curse when two strong men behind Li Yan rushed over and punched him in the face, knocking him off Meiling and to the ground.

Then four or five more people rushed in and beat up the troublemaking gamblers.

The sounds of fists pounding, screams, and tables and chairs falling to the ground filled the air.

In less than two minutes, all seven or eight gamblers were beaten to the ground.

Li Yan walked up to Xiao Qin, took off her coat, and draped it over Xiao Qin's shoulders.

"stand up."

Xiaoqin stood up crying.

Li Yan looked at Li Dafu, who was now being held up by two strong men and was trembling with fear.

"I'll have someone send your money over in a bit, and I'll have someone get the child back too," Li Yan said. "But you have to give me an explanation for what happened today."

Li Dafu stammered, "Sister Yan, I...I didn't know she was yours..."

"She's an employee at my shop," Li Yan interrupted him. "So, tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Li Dafu tried to argue, but suddenly a police siren sounded outside the door.

Everyone turned their heads.

Li Yan smiled: "I called the police."

A few minutes later, seven or eight police officers stormed into the casino. Looking at the chaotic scene inside, the officer in charge frowned: "What happened?"

Li Yan stepped forward: "Officer, I'm reporting this. There's gambling going on here, and this Li Dafu sold his own daughter for 100,000 yuan. I have witnesses and physical evidence."

The police officers exchanged a glance and immediately took control of everyone present.

Even as he was handcuffed, Li Dafu was still shouting, "I didn't sell the child! That's my daughter, I can do whatever I want with her!"

The police officer in charge sneered, "Selling your own daughter? You're abducting a child. You'll be going to jail."

Sun Xiaoyan stood at the door, looking at the chaotic scene inside the casino, and sighed.

Meiling walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "It's alright."

"Where is the child?" Xiaoyan asked.

"Li Yan has already sent people to follow them, and they should be able to stop them there too," Meiling said.

Xiaoqin squatted in the corner, hugging her knees and crying.

Meiling walked over and squatted down beside her.

"It's alright," Meiling said softly. "The child will come back."

Xiaoqin looked up at her with teary eyes, "Sister Meiling... thank you."

"Don't thank me." Meiling lit a cigarette. "From now on, don't let that man bully you again."
