Chapter 1: Take Off Your Clothes

"Take off your clothes."

"Hurry up. Once the photos are submitted, we'll get the final payment."

"Remember to get her face in the shot."

Vague, chaotic voices echoed in her ears, sounding indistinct.

In her mind, a jumble of complex memories darted about. Figures and scenes flashed through her consciousness like shards—some clear, some blurred—moving at speeds that fluctuated between fast and slow.

Gu Zhiqi only felt her head buzzing, aching and dizzy, as if it were about to explode.

As Gu Zhiqi’s consciousness slowly cleared, the indistinct dialogue in her ears became increasingly sharp.

"Boss, let me take her clothes off."

"Damn! This woman looks so damn hot."

"Boss, it’s been a long time since we’ve had any fun. Since she’s so pretty, can the boys and I... before we take the nude photos?"

"Have some ambition. One by one."

"Boss, you go first!"

Amidst the noisy, chaotic chatter, unfamiliar scents drew closer. However, Gu Zhiqi was temporarily unable to control her body; she couldn't even open her eyes.

The unfamiliar scents grew closer—there were several of them.

Closer still.

Gu Zhiqi tried to control her body once more.

Someone began to tear at her clothes...

*Riiip.*

As the neckline was torn open, Gu Zhiqi suddenly opened her eyes.

Before her, a burly man was forcefully ripping at her clothes, a lecherous and sleazy grin hanging on his lips.

Gu Zhiqi narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of cold, murderous intent suddenly crawling into the depths of her gaze.

The burly man didn't notice that Gu Zhiqi had opened her eyes. He was still eagerly tearing at her clothes, his eyes lewd, his mouth spewing filth.

"Damn it! She’s so tender you could squeeze water out of her."

"Come here, let me show you a good time... Ah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the burly man let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

Gu Zhiqi’s movements were so fast that no one saw how she got up. By the time the group of lackeys standing not far away reacted, the burly man was already pinned under Gu Zhiqi’s foot—specifically, on a certain unspeakable area.

A cold, wicked smile curled the corners of Gu Zhiqi’s lips. She lowered her head slightly, looking down at the man beneath her feet, her voice chillingly sharp. "Did that hurt? Hmm?"

"You stinking b*tch... Aaaaaah!"

"It seems that wasn't painful enough. Come, let's continue." The smile on her lips grew colder and more unrestrained.

While the lackeys were stunned, Gu Zhiqi had already ground her foot into their boss’s inner thigh several times.

The screams came one after another, enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

"Stinking b*tch, you dare hit the boss! Brothers! Kill her!"

Finally, the lackeys snapped out of their shock amidst the screaming and swarmed toward Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi casually kicked the man under her feet away, snatched the club swinging toward her, and delivered a kick to the attacker.

*Bang.*

Taking the kick, the man flew backward, knocking down three or four others in one go.

Three or four more emerged from the side. Gu Zhiqi, wielding the club she had just seized, swung it at the person beside her.

The man was struck by the club and spun halfway around, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Another person attacked. Gu Zhiqi jabbed the club into his stomach and followed up with a kick, sending him flying.

*Boom.*

He crashed into a pile of abandoned oil drums.

Afterward, finding the club troublesome, Gu Zhiqi tossed it aside and fought the remaining men with her bare hands.

These men looked burly, each appearing intimidatingly strong, but in Gu Zhiqi’s hands, they turned into little chicks, with almost no room to resist.
