The men in black moved with lightning speed, like three black whirlwinds.
A rough, powerful hand suddenly grabbed Mom's slender, fair wrist. Before she could react, the other two men swiftly stepped forward, twisting her hands behind her back and binding them tightly with thick hemp rope.
"Who are you? What do you want?!"
Mom tried to remain calm, but her voice betrayed a hint of panic.
"Shut the fuck up!"
The leader of the men in black coldly spat out the words, his tone full of contempt.
Before he finished speaking, he shoved Mom violently. Her tall, slender body immediately lost its balance. Her small feet, clad in 10-centimeter crystal high heels and black stockings, stumbled a few steps on the floor, the heels hitting the floor with a rapid, chaotic "clack-clack." Her long, shapely legs, encased in black stockings, trembled slightly from the loss of balance, and the slit of her cheongsam lifted with her movement, revealing a section of her beautiful, straight thigh. "Ah—" Mother gasped, staggering backward before being shoved roughly against the wall.
Her back slammed against the cold wall, leaving her looking somewhat disheveled. The fabric of her silk cheongsam clung to her curves, rising and falling slightly with her breath, the rhinestones on her chest reflecting shimmering light under the lamplight. She struggled, trying to break free, her pale wrists twisting and turning in the ropes, but the more she struggled, the tighter they tightened.
"Let me go! Help—" Her voice suddenly rose, yet trembled slightly.
Mother's high heels clattered rapidly on the floor, the heels striking the ground with a crisp sound. Her legs, encased in stockings, tensed from the struggle, making their lines appear even longer and more graceful, but these struggles were futile against the three burly men in black.
"Don't move!" The leader of the men in black sneered, forcefully grabbing Mother's shoulder and shoving her body into a chair. "Ms. Xia, just bear with it." His voice carried a hint of coldness and mockery.
Mother was forced to sit down, her hands bound behind her back. The hem of her cheongsam rode up slightly with the movement, revealing her knees encased in black stockings. The tips of her high heels lightly touched the floor, conveying helplessness and fragility. She tried to calm herself, taking a deep breath, attempting to suppress her inner fear with reason.
"Who are you? What do you want? Let's talk this over!"
Mother's voice still carried a hint of the stubbornness and authority unique to female CEOs, but the slight tremor at the end betrayed her inner tension.
The leader of the men in black completely ignored Mother's questioning, suddenly drawing a gleaming dagger from his waist and holding it directly to her neck! The cold blade touched Mother's pale skin, her body instantly stiffening, a trace of terror appearing between her brows.
"Don't move, or this knife won't have eyes," the man in black threatened in a low voice, his tone icy.
Xia Ling's breathing quickened, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her gaze swept over the three men in black, trying to find an opening, but they were all burly and moved with agility, clearly professionally trained. Her heart sank, but she kept her body straight, trying not to appear too weak in front of them.
Beside the chair, her stockinged legs pressed against the edge, making a soft rustling sound with each slight struggle. The tips of her high heels touched the floor, maintaining an unstable posture, as if she might slip at any moment. Her hair was meticulously styled in a bun, with a few stray strands falling around her ears from the struggle, adding a touch of disheveled beauty.
"Be quiet. We don't want to hurt you, as long as you cooperate," the leader of the men in black said coldly.
At this moment, Mother was completely restrained by the three men on the chair in the dressing room. The ropes binding her were tightly bound, the cuffs of her silk cheongsam rolled up slightly by the ropes, revealing her slender wrists and skin reddened from struggling. Her large breasts, in particular, appeared even more prominent under the taut cheongsam.
"What do you want? Who sent you? Let me go!"
Although restrained, Mother suppressed her panic, her beautiful eyes filled with rage.
"Shut up!" the leader of the men in black shouted impatiently, pressing the dagger in his hand forward forcefully, the blade almost digging into her skin. Mother immediately dared not move, tears welling in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks, dripping onto the silk fabric of her cheongsam, leaving dark stains.
"Tie your feet up too, hehe."
Another man in black chuckled coldly, squatting down to tie Xia Ling's feet up with rope.
As the crystal high heels were roughly ripped off, two delicate feet in black stockings were immediately revealed. Xia Ling's body trembled slightly from the struggle, and the hem of her cheongsam billowed up slightly with the movement, revealing more of her long, slender legs encased in stockings.
"Hurry up and film the video, finish the job, don't waste time!" the lead man in black urged.
The other man in black immediately acted, pulling out his phone and pointing it at Xia Ling, his tone full of mockery: "Come on, smile, President Xia. Aren't you the face of Lingya Group? Today, let everyone see your pathetic state!"
Xia Ling instinctively turned her face to the side, trying to avoid the camera, but the man in black forcefully pressed down on her shoulders, rendering her unable to move. The camera focused on her disheveled hair, the slightly open collar of her cheongsam, and the hem rolled up from her struggle—the image was filled with a sense of humiliation.
"Heh heh, as expected of a female CEO, so captivating…" the man in black taking the picture licked his lips.
"Alright, enough talk," the leader of the men in black said impatiently. "Hurry up, don't waste time."
Outside, the security personnel and executives of Lingya Group were scattered throughout the backstage area. Hearing the screams coming from the dressing room, they converged from all directions, blocking the doorway. The head security captain's expression changed, and he rushed forward. The sight before him when he pushed open the door made him freeze.
