The Baiyun Hotel, resplendent and magnificent, was a super five-star luxury establishment.
Located in the heart of Ningjiang City, this hotel originally belonged to the Li family, but it had now become the property of the Bai family, a prominent clan.
The Cloud Top Club was situated on the top floor of the Baiyun Hotel.
Those who frequented the Cloud Top Club were influential figures in the local area, either wealthy or of noble birth.
At this moment, Bai Bingyue, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, had invited a group of young masters from affluent families for a gathering at the Cloud Top Club.
Bai Bingyue was known for her ruthless and cold-blooded nature, and her formidable methods had earned her considerable prestige among the younger generation in Ningjiang City.
Even scions of prominent families held her in awe.
"Today, I have invited all of you to the Cloud Top Club to announce some good and wonderful news."
Bai Bingyue's icy gaze swept across the assembled young masters, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The young masters present were all of extraordinary status, all scions of the various affluent families in Ningjiang City, skilled in every aspect of indulgence and revelry.
"Oh? What good news does Miss Bai have to announce?"
The assembled young masters were all piqued by Bai Bingyue's words and eagerly inquired.
Bai Bingyue was an ice-cold beauty, devoid of sentiment. She rarely sought the company of these dissolute youths.
Anything she deemed good or wonderful was bound to be quite entertaining.
"You should all remember the Li family, the third-rate family in Ningjiang, correct?"
Bai Bingyue's gaze swept over the group of young masters, her eyes filled with coldness and resentment.
Three years ago, she had stooped to offer herself to Li Xingye, forcefully demanding he become a live-in son-in-law of the Bai family.
However, Li Xingye had rejected her without hesitation, infuriating her to no end.
How dared he, from a mere third-rate family, reject her?
How could he?
Did he truly believe that good looks entitled him to do as he pleased?
Without the backing of strength, even the most handsome man was merely a useless ornamental vase!
Bai Bingyue had employed various schemes to force Li Xingye into submission.
She had even resorted to forceful means, determined to have Li Xingye.
Yet, Li Xingye had been unyielding, slapping her in return and calling her shameless.
This had utterly enraged her, turning her love into hate, and she had resolved to personally destroy Li Xingye, and even the entire Li family of Ningjiang City.
The man she could not have, she would destroy with her own hands.
This was her logic of action!
No one could reject her, Bai Bingyue.
"Yes, yes, the Li family of Ningjiang City, that third-rate family Miss Bai annihilated!"
"Li Xingye was ungrateful, daring to reject Miss Bai, he deserved death!"
"With the annihilation of the Li family, our families benefited greatly!"
Bai Bingyue's mention of the Li family of Ningjiang City immediately caused a stir and a ripple of mocking laughter among the crowd.
Three years ago, Li Xingye's demise by being thrown into the river to feed the fish by Bai Bingyue, and the subsequent annihilation of the Li family, had indeed caused quite a sensation among the affluent families of Ningjiang City.
Bai Bingyue was truly ruthless. When her affections were spurned, she had a man drowned and his entire clan wiped out, an act utterly devoid of humanity.
And the sole reason was that Li Xingye had refused to become a live-in son-in-law of the Bai family.
What was more absurd was that not long after Li Xingye was thrown into the river, Bai Bingyue quickly found another live-in son-in-law.
This new son-in-law was said to be a good-for-nothing, inferior to Li Xingye in every aspect, and had endured much cold mockery and physical abuse from Bai Bingyue, suffering great humiliation.
A live-in son-in-law had no human rights, living worse than a dog!
However, such melodramatic affairs were all too common within affluent families, and these young masters were accustomed to such things.
"Li Xingye is dead, but his sister is still alive. I've kept her like a pig all these years."
"Li Xingye was exceptionally handsome, and his sister is naturally a top beauty."
"Tonight, I have invited you all here to auction off Li Xingye's sister's virginity!"
Bai Bingyue stated coldly.
Although Li Xingye was dead, she still felt unfulfilled and her resentment lingered.
Especially when she thought of the useless live-in husband in her home, it filled her with anger and unwillingness.
If Li Xingye had not cruelly rejected her, how could she have hastily found a good-for-nothing to be her live-in husband?
She attributed all of this to Li Xingye's fault.
"Auction Li Xingye's sister's virginity?"
Another stir went through the crowd, some young masters already showing signs of eagerness.
Li Xingye's sister, Li Xingcai, was stunningly beautiful. In middle school, she was already the renowned campus belle, long coveted by some of these young masters.
Previously, Li Xingcai had been well protected by the Li family, making it impossible for these young masters to get their hands on her.
Now, with Li Xingye dead and the Li family annihilated, Li Xingcai, possessing unparalleled beauty, had inevitably become a plaything for them.
Furthermore, the Cloud Top Club, being a high-end establishment controlled by the Bai family, often hosted auctions of virginity.
This was not an uncommon occurrence at gatherings of the affluent.
They, the upper echelons of society, were accustomed to enjoying scarce resources that ordinary people could not access.
And beautiful women were undoubtedly a scarce resource.
"Young Madam... something's wrong!"
Just as everyone was chatting and discussing how to possess Li Xingcai, a middle-aged woman, covered in blood, stumbled into the room.
Her entire body seemed like a leaking bucket, constantly dripping blood, an unnerving sight.
"What is it?"
Bai Bingyue stared for a moment before recognizing the blood-soaked figure who had suddenly barged in as one of the maids she had assigned to watch Li Xingcai.
At present, the middle-aged woman was covered in blood mixed with a foul odor, making Bai Bingyue feel nauseous.
How dared this lowly woman come to a high-class venue like the Cloud Top Club?
Moreover, what was the meaning of her body constantly leaking blood?
She had seen leaking buckets, but never a living person who continuously bled.
"Miss Bai... Li... Li Xingye is back!"
The middle-aged woman slowly approached Bai Bingyue, struggling to utter her last words.
Then, her body, like a ball punctured by countless fine needles, erupted with blood, splattering all over Bai Bingyue's face and body.
The bright red blood stained her white attire, making it glaringly conspicuous and piercing to the eyes.
The middle-aged woman died spewing blood, her death a gruesome sight!
"Ah..."
This bizarre scene caused even Bai Bingyue to lose her composure, letting out a startled scream.
Li Xingye was back?
Bai Bingyue's vision turned crimson, as if she saw Li Xingye crawling out from the depths of hell to claim her life.
And at this very moment, Li Xingye had indeed arrived at the Baiyun Hotel, accompanied by his sister, Li Xingcai.
Making the middle-aged woman die before Bai Bingyue's eyes was also his doing.
He intended to make this cold-blooded, monstrous woman experience the fear and despair of approaching death, step by step!
