Facing the amused gaze of Chu Ge, the girl bit her lip, seemingly making a huge decision, with a look of resolute bravery, she stated a number.

"Fifty thousand!"

Hearing this number, Chu Ge immediately burst into laughter. He really didn't expect that this girl would dare to ask for such a high price. However, it didn't matter how much the girl asked for, as it wasn't him footing the bill anyway.

Liu Weijiang was also taken aback, looking at the girl as if she were a monster, silently cursing in his heart. But seeing that Chu Ge was merely bemused, he didn't speak and instead directed his mocking gaze towards Shen Houfu, waiting for his reaction.

Shen Houfu was equally surprised that the girl would shout out such a price. His eye twitched a few times as he realized she was clearly taking advantage of his predicament to make an outrageous demand. Damn! What's with this girl? Where did she come from?

However, no matter how angry he felt inside, he didn't dare to offend this "Young Master Chu," whom even Liu Weijiang treated with utmost respect and even Long Kun feared. He could only swallow his pride and absorb the silent loss.

Under the mischievous gaze of Liu Weijiang, Shen Houfu said to the girl, "Stop wasting time with Chu. As long as you can please Young Master Chu, I'll give you the fifty thousand later."

The girl hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if... he's not satisfied?"

"I'll still give it."

Suppressing the urge to slap the girl across the face, Shen Houfu uttered these three words.

However, what he thought and what he said were completely different. If the girl couldn't satisfy Chu Ge, he would definitely make her pay a painfully unimaginable price.

Although he had to swallow his anger with some big shots in the city, he had no such restraint with a little girl like this. He had plenty of ways to deal with her!

With Shen Houfu's assurance, the girl fell silent, standing quietly beside Chu Ge. Her face showed no excitement or greed, only deep confusion and disappointment, like a soulless puppet, resigned to her fate.

When the girl followed Chu Ge into another exclusive VIP room and saw that it was filled with service staff, she was stunned.

"Young Master Chu, this is my forfeited bet, hehe. Please accept it with a smile."

After closing the door, Liu Weijiang extracted a prepaid bank card from his bag and handed it to Chu Ge with an ingratiating smile.

As Chu Ge accepted the bank card, Liu Weijiang glanced at the silently weeping girl beside him, smirking lewdly and excitedly.

In Liu Weijiang's mind, he had bet with Chu Ge to get a girl from here for a massage. If Chu Ge was only interested in a massage, after the girl finished, he could take her away himself.

"Young Master Chu, is there anything else I can help you with?"

After Liu Weijiang finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter. However, their thoughts were that it was the first time they had seen Liu Weijiang show such humility to anyone.

Although everyone in the room had heard the commotion outside and saw the injuries on Liu Weijiang, they weren't foolish enough to ask about it. They knew their job here was simply to serve the guests happily, and everything else was none of their concern.

Listening to Liu Weijiang's laugh and the laughter around her, the girl beside Chu Ge felt dizzy and swayed slightly.

She had thought she was mentally prepared, but at this moment, she realized she had underestimated the situation.

Just as her legs weakened and she almost collapsed, a large hand caught her, stabilizing her body.

"Young Master Jiang, I'm going in to sing a bit. No need to bother with me. Have fun outside."

Holding the girl's hand, Chu Ge smiled at Liu Weijiang and, ignoring his slightly regretful gaze, walked into the suite, casually closing the door.

If it weren't for Liu Weijiang's earlier words, when the door closed with a "click," the girl believed she would have felt overwhelming despair.

But at this moment, she felt a bit grateful towards this man called "Young Master Chu" beside her.

Compared to doing something under the eyes of so many people, she felt less tense being alone with this "Young Master Chu."

After entering the suite, Chu Ge released the girl's hand, sat on a large sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked with interest at the girl standing near the door, unsure what to do, hands tightly twisted together.

For a girl appearing at a nightclub yet exuding such a pure aura, Chu Ge was indeed interested. Rather than doing anything else with her, he was more inclined to chat.

Bringing her into this suite was a way for Chu Ge to preserve her last dignity, not wanting to embarrass this girl, who once had purity, too much.

"What's your name?"

"Lili..."

The girl's voice was so soft, like a mosquito buzzing. Had it not been for Chu Ge's keen hearing, anyone else might not have been able to make out what she was saying.

Of course, it's obvious that this is a fake name. Girls in places like this all have a fake name. Chu Ge just asked for convenience's sake.

"First day at work here today?"

"Mm..."

"Lili, tell me, what special skills do you have?"

Lili looked up blankly, "Special skills?"

"You know, the ways to please customers. What's your skill in this area?"

Biting her lip, Lili shook her head, a face full of shame, and said with difficulty, "I... I don't know anything."

Chu Ge laughed, "Since you don't know anything, how dare you ask for such a high price of fifty thousand? And how can you guarantee that you'll satisfy me?"

"I... I have my first time."

Chu Ge laughed again, "The first time isn't as valuable as you think. If you're not someone famous, generally speaking, it's only worth a few thousand to ten thousand. It's not worth more than the famous girls' prices. Other than this, where else do you think you're worth fifty thousand?"

"I... I'm still a university student."

Chu Ge smirked and unexpectedly asked a university physics question, "Does a point mass moving in a straight line always have zero angular momentum?"

Lili froze for a moment, then instinctively replied, "Yes, a point mass has no size, hence its radius is zero, so there's no angular momentum, only momentum."

Chu Ge's eyes lit up, surprised that she actually answered.

"Chu... Young Master Chu, I really am a university student. If you don't believe me, you can test me more."

Chu Ge nodded and asked a few more advanced mathematics questions, to which Lili responded fluently, just like a student earnestly answering questions.

After several tests, Chu Ge believed that this girl, who goes by the fake name Lili, truly was a college student, and a top-performing one at that.

Actually, it's not uncommon for college girls to do this kind of work, but for one with such good grades, that was quite rare.

When Lili correctly answered a difficult problem intentionally posed by Chu Ge, he exhaled some smoke, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and looking at Lili, couldn't help showing a bit of regret in his gaze.

"To be honest, you don't belong in a place like this."

Lili bit her lip, the tears she'd struggled to hold back flowed again, her head lowered in gloom as she said, "I... I don't want to either, but I need money, I... I really have no other way."

"No way? At your age, even if you encounter something huge, isn't there still your parents to rely on? Why must you come to this point? Do you know what kind of consequences you'll face if people find out you've worked here as a hostess?"

"I... I know, big brother, thank you, really thank you for your advice, but I... I'm here for my foster father, if I can't bring back fifty thousand, he'll surely die."

Hearing Lili say this, Chu Ge's brows furrowed instantly, and his heart ached a bit.

"For your foster father? He'll die without this money? Are you an orphan?"

Silently nodding, Lili then raised her hands, already pale from wringing, trembling, she undid a button on her blouse, then the second, the third.

Even though Chu Ge was never really a do-gooder and had seen too many injustices, at this moment, looking at Lili's pale little face, her lower lip bruised from biting, and those trembling hands, he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

Some people wallow in luxury, fifty thousand isn't even enough for a game of mahjong, but this girl in front of him was forced by fifty thousand to the point of selling herself.

When Lili took off her jacket and was about to continue undoing her shirt buttons, Chu Ge stood up from the sofa, picked up the coat on the floor, and draped it over her shoulders. In her stunned gaze, he pulled up his signature smile again.

"What exactly is going on, what happened to your foster father, tell me?"

If Lili didn't have such an incredible air of purity about her, if she couldn't answer Chu Ge's university-level questions, if she hadn't told him she's an orphan, Chu Ge wouldn't have bothered.

But because all these things happened together, Chu Ge truly didn't want to touch her.

Dazed, Lili looked at Chu Ge, it took a while for her to come back to her senses. The smiling face and the coat draped over her again filled her heart with warmth and emotion.

Even though it was only her first meeting with Chu Ge, she had a gut feeling that she could trust him. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded and started speaking.
