(Five) Hongmen Banquet
Author: Kim Fiesta
Because his watch was stolen and sold by Ling Kun, Shengmin couldn't come up with a gift for Shilin for the time being.
He originally thought of inviting him again to the place where they had eaten together last time and treat him to a meal. But Shilin rejected his invitation, which put him in a difficult position.
But Shilin soon replied to him again, wanting to invite him to his home to celebrate his birthday.
Shengmin thought, celebrating at Shilin's home wouldn't be bad either. The two of them alone in one room, he could confess, and if the confession succeeded, they could do some intimate things, hehe.
So he agreed to Shilin's invitation.
Ding dong, ding dong——
Shengmin pressed the doorbell of Shilin's house full of anticipation. On the way, he passed by a flower shop and specially bought a large bouquet of flowers to give to him.
Come on, it will definitely succeed, he encouraged himself.
However, as soon as the door opened, Shengmin was stunned. The one who opened the door was not Shilin, but another young and handsome man.
The two stared at each other in a daze.
“Xiao Gang, let him in. He's my colleague.”
Shilin inside the house heard the door open but there was no reaction. He came over to take a look. When he saw it was Shengmin, he called out to the man who opened the door.
“Okay baby, then please come in quickly. Welcome, haha.”
The man invited Shengmin inside, told him to sit wherever, then went to the kitchen to help Shilin.
At this moment, Shengmin's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He originally thought that today there would only be Shilin at home, but he didn't know where this person suddenly appeared from. What troubled Shengmin the most was the tone Shilin used when speaking to this person, making him feel that their relationship must be very close.
Is he a brother from the family? Probably not... Shilin had cut ties with his family when he ran away from home.
Is he a friend? Shilin never mentioned him... In the club, Shilin was only a bit familiar with him.
Could it be?!……
The more Shengmin thought about it, the more he dared not think. His purpose today was to confess to Shilin, and he had been determined to succeed, but he never expected that such a man would suddenly appear.
No, I can't guess randomly. I have to trust Shilin. I need to hear him say what their relationship is. I still have a chance, I can't be discouraged!
Shengmin encouraged himself.
“Brother Shengmin, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend Xiao Gang.”
After the meal was set, Shilin couldn't wait to introduce the stranger to Shengmin. But he didn't know that this sentence struck Shengmin like a bolt from the blue, and Shengmin was completely despairing.
“Xiao Gang, this is a brother at my workplace who takes good care of me. His name is Shengmin.”
“Hello, Mr. Shengmin.”
Seeing Xiao Gang showing goodwill and enthusiastically wanting to shake hands, Shengmin couldn't refuse, so he extended his hand to respond. During the handshake, Xiao Gang also expressed gratitude for Shengmin's various help to Shilin on weekdays. Shengmin smiled politely, exchanged a few courteous words, and then said nothing more.
At the dinner table, Shengmin unsurprisingly became a third wheel. The various intimate gestures between the two made Shengmin truly feel the saying “The sorrows of the world are not connected, I only feel they are noisy.” Trying hard not to pay attention to them while doubting life, but there was no way. There were only three people in the whole house. The only thing he could do now was: finish eating quickly and go home quickly.
“Shilin, I'm full. There are people at my home today, so I have to hurry back. I won't disturb you anymore. Happy birthday.”
The dejected Shengmin finally finished his meal and stood up to leave.
“Brother Shengmin, are you leaving already? Stay a little longer.” Seeing Shengmin about to leave, Shilin reacted from their flirting.
“Mm, I'll go first. Have fun you two. By the way, I bought you flowers and left them in the living room……”
“emmmmm…… I'm really sorry today. We were busy playing and didn't entertain you well. Next time when you have time, I'll invite you again.”
Shilin probably saw that Shengmin's mood wasn't right, so he didn't insist anymore and could only watch him leave silently.
“Why is he unhappy today? He was fine when he called earlier…… Could it be because of something at home?” Shilin at the table wondered.
Xiao Gang beside him looked at the closed door smiling without speaking, as if thinking about something.
“Baby, I'm going to the bathroom.”
After Shengmin left, Xiao Gang also left the table.
“You guys are so annoying. One after another, you say leave and leave, not staying to accompany me.”
After Xiao Gang also left the table, the now empty table made Shilin feel the atmosphere suddenly turn cold, and he threw a little tantrum.
After leaving the table, Xiao Gang locked himself in the bathroom, then took out his phone and sent a group message:
The prey is out, everyone prepare to act!
Shengmin, distracted, walked to the elevator and pressed the button.
The elevator was coming down from a high floor, and the floor numbers on the display kept stopping and starting. It would probably take a while, so Shengmin boredly took out his phone. At this moment, two people came up behind him, standing on his left and right. Shengmin glanced at them but paid no attention, continuing to play with his phone while waiting for the elevator.
Finally, the elevator arrived. He entered, and the other two followed. There were already four people inside. Adding himself and the two who just entered, there were seven people. Shengmin was squeezed toward the door by them.
Shengmin inside the elevator was still looking at his phone, but due to poor signal, the content wouldn't load, so he put his phone away. Then he suddenly remembered he hadn't selected a floor. Seeing that only the second floor button was pressed, he pressed for the basement level.
But in his daze, he suddenly remembered something. The other two who entered the elevator with him seemed to have never pressed any buttons. Could it be that all of them were going to the second floor? Wait, the second floor of this building, if he remembered correctly…… shouldn't it be abandoned?
Shengmin suddenly became alert. He quietly observed. The two who entered with him were still flanking him left and right just like when waiting for the elevator, making one wonder if it was a coincidence or if they had intentions. He turned his head pretending to look at posters in the elevator, using the chance to glance at the four behind him.
He noticed one of them looked familiar.
So he tried hard to recall where he had seen him……
Finally, he remembered. One of the four behind was the person who had tried to drug Shilin at the club and was blacklisted!!!
Immediately, Shengmin broke out in a cold sweat. The more he thought, the more scared he became. If nothing unexpected, these six people in the elevator all intended to do him harm. If it came to a fight, with their numbers, he definitely wouldn't be their match. Maybe on the second floor, their accomplices were also lying in wait for him……
No, he had to find a way to get rid of these six now. He couldn't follow them to the second floor. But he was alone and weak. If he rashly pressed another floor now, these six would definitely notice, and they wouldn't let him go.
Now Shengmin only hoped there were others in the building wanting to take the elevator. Once someone could open the elevator door from outside, he would have a chance to rush out and escape.
He stared dead at the floor numbers on the display, anxiously watching them decrease bit by bit.
Please, stop……
Shengmin prayed in his heart……
Suddenly, the elevator stopped on the sixth floor. It turned out to be an old lady who finished eating and was going downstairs for a walk.
Shengmin had a flash of inspiration.
“Ma'am, let me help you in.” Under everyone's gaze, Shengmin walked out of the elevator and went forward to support the old lady.
The six people in the elevator immediately became alert, staring fixedly at Shengmin.
Shengmin was smart. He didn't run out of the elevator immediately but used this excuse to boldly walk out. After noticing the reaction of the six behind, he remained calm, acted as if he didn't care, and smiled friendly at the old lady.
“Ah, young man, I'm not that old yet, no need to worry, haha.” Although the old lady politely declined Shengmin's offer, she still expressed appreciation for his action.
“Okay, then be careful, take it slow……”
At the last moment before the elevator doors closed, Shengmin sent the old lady into the elevator, blocking the exit, then turned and ran toward the emergency exit in the building.
The six in the elevator were stunned by Shengmin's move. They never dreamed he would pull this off; it could be said heaven, earth, and people all aligned.
Because the old lady blocked the door, the six inside couldn't immediately get out. One person at the door used all his strength to barely squeeze out and chase Shengmin. The other five were forced to stay inside due to the door's safety timer, so they hurriedly pressed the fifth floor button to continue pursuing Shengmin.
“Why are you young people so polarized nowadays? That young man who helped me in earlier was so good, tall and handsome too. That guy who ran out just now had no manners at all and almost knocked this old lady down. I'm furious……” The old lady loudly scolded the one who ran out to chase Shengmin.
“Ma'am, please stop talking. You came at a really bad time……”
One of them in the elevator wanted to reason with the old lady but was pulled back by the other four. They looked at each other helplessly. Their urgent task was to catch Shengmin.
The fifth floor arrived, and the other five ran out.
Shengmin ran from the sixth floor to the fifth. Hearing people still chasing behind, he quickened his pace and ran into the fourth floor.
The second to fourth floors of this building were abandoned malls with many places to hide. Since he couldn't rule out people lying in wait on the second floor, Shengmin didn't rashly run down. He chose to observe first then sneak down. If he really couldn't escape, hiding inside could buy some time. Moreover, as expected, there should be other emergency exits in the mall to escape from.
Shengmin flipped into an abandoned circular counter. Hearing the chasers run past downstairs, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly took out his phone to call the police, but thought if it was revenge related to the club and male slave market, calling the police would make them suspect and investigate the illegal activities of the two clubs, so he couldn't call the police yet. What he needed now was to hold them off first, then find a way to call for help to resolve the crisis.
He called the club boss several times, but no one answered, so he left a distress message hoping the boss could find a way to save him.
Next he prepared to call Shilin, but hesitated when about to dial……
These people were here to take revenge on him. If he involved Shilin, Shilin would definitely be in danger too. Better not to drag him in. But then he remembered among those wanting revenge on him was the one who tried to harm Shilin last time. Maybe they wanted to take revenge on both, so he should warn Shilin. Thus he left a message for Shilin: Unless absolutely necessary today, you and your boyfriend must not go downstairs casually. Remember to close doors and windows, don't open the door for strangers!
Right, and Junyong at home.
He dialed the home phone, hoping Junyong would answer quickly.
Ring ring ring——
The home phone rang. Junyong watching TV hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to answer. But he thought, if it was something urgent and he delayed, what then? So he picked up the phone.
“Hello, is this Junyong?”
“Shengmin?”
“Yes, it's me. Quick, listen. Go to my room and look for a red business card. I've been targeted. If I don't come home today, follow the address on the card to find that place, find the boss inside for help. Tell him the person who was blacklisted last time came to take revenge on me……”
“What's going on? Speak slowly, who's trying to harm you?” Junyong was confused by Shengmin's words but also worried about him.
“Don't ask. If I can't come back today, you must protect yourself. Also, if I'm caught, they might use my keys to enter. I usually open the door with fingerprint. If someone suddenly uses keys or password to open the door, hide quickly……”
Suddenly, Shengmin heard someone entering the floor and quickly hung up.
“Hello? Hello?……”
Shengmin suddenly hanging up made Junyong's heart leap into his throat.
“Where the hell could this big guy have run to? Damn, search everywhere quickly!” The apparent leader among the six spoke, ordering the other five to search for Shengmin on this fourth floor.
Shengmin held his breath and heartbeat, hoping they wouldn't find him.
Gradually, he felt footsteps approaching him.
Closer and closer……
Huh? Suddenly no sound?
Shengmin looked up and found one person staring dead at him, scaring him so much his heart almost stopped.
“He's here! Come quick!”
Immediately, the other five all turned to look toward Shengmin.
Damn, discovered.
Shengmin suddenly rushed out, knocked aside the first one who found him, then ran toward the other side of the mall.
The six behind saw this and chased after him.
As expected, this mall really had a second emergency stairway. Shengmin, finding his savior, ran desperately faster into it.
Third floor……
Almost there, can get out……
Second floor……
Damn, there really were accomplices on the second floor……
He saw three people blocking the stairway on the second floor. One holding rope, one holding black wide tape, and one holding a large sack……
Turns out these people wanted to kidnap him. The kidnappers seemed to have anticipated Shengmin would come here and ambushed in advance waiting for him.
The six behind also caught up……
Tigers in front, wolves behind, Shengmin was doomed.
Even so, Shengmin refused to give up. He tried to break out with brute force. Even if unsuccessful, it wouldn't count as surrendering voluntarily.
The outcome was obvious. He was caught.
He was held by two people clamping his left and right arms, one hugging his waist and covering his mouth to control him. Then two more came, lifting his legs from left and right, carrying him into the abandoned mall on the second floor……
“Not bad, this kid really has some skills. We six chasing you and you had us running in circles. If we didn't have three people left here waiting for you, the duck in hand would have flown, hahaha.”
“Good thing the boss is wise, otherwise we couldn't report back today.”
“Alright, you idiots only know to chase stupidly, didn't even think to notify the brothers below to guard. Good thing I reacted, otherwise he really would've escaped.”
“We must properly deal with him.”
“Haha, of course we have to properly deal with him. After all, he's a famous dom. Now fallen to this state, we should properly abuse him, hehe……”
……
Listening to these kidnappers talking and laughing while catching him, Shengmin wanted to resist but was powerless. There were nine of them now. Besides the five controlling his body, there were still four others. He could only steady them and pray the boss had seen the message and would send someone to save him……
The kidnappers carried Shengmin into the mall on the second floor, found an open space, and put his legs down. After Shengmin could stand, the five controlling him still held him tightly.
Then, the two clamping Shengmin's hands raised his arms to the sides and held them. Two others put two socks on each of his left and right hands, then wrapped tape around the sock openings, restricting his hand movements. This was a trick he often used on Junyong, never expecting it would be used on himself one day.
Next, someone came over with a pair of white athletic cotton socks. Shengmin knew they were going to gag him.
He tightly closed his mouth to prevent them from succeeding. Although he knew the kidnappers would eventually find a way to pry open his mouth, he still tried to delay them to buy time for the boss.
But the person originally covering his mouth now used his left hand to pinch his cheeks hard and right hand to pinch his nose tightly.
This was a common method to force the mouth open when gagging. When someone with a closed mouth has their nose pinched, they instinctively open their mouth to breathe, giving the gagger an opportunity.
So unsurprisingly, no matter how stubborn Shengmin was, he couldn't resist the white cotton sock being stuffed into his mouth.
After stuffing the sock into Shengmin's mouth, the gagger didn't forget to push all the exposed parts in bit by bit, and forcefully shoved the sock toward Shengmin's throat, causing him to retch. The person behind covering his mouth saw this and pressed tightly to prevent him from spitting it out.
This wasn't over. The gagger brought a super large rubber gag.
The diameter of this ball gag was much larger than what Shengmin usually used, scaring him so much his eyes widened. He never expected to first see such a large size gag being used on himself……
When this gag was put into his mouth, he felt his mouth was about to be stretched apart.
These kidnappers were really determined to mess with him.
Sure enough, when he was on the verge of tears from the pain of his mouth being stretched by the gag, he saw the kidnappers take out white medical bandages……
Damn, really no need for this, I'm dying……
Just from being gagged, Shengmin was almost done. No one had ever dared to do this to him before. He had always been the one abusing others to death. He finally understood the pain when a sub's mouth is stuffed full, and the despair when seeing the other party think it's not enough and add more.
After being gagged with sock and ball gag, then tightly wrapped with bandages outside, Shengmin completely couldn't speak.
After handling mouth and palms, they laid Shengmin face down on the ground. The kidnappers took out rope and prepared to tie Shengmin up.
They first passed rope around Shengmin's neck and under both armpits, then wrapped around his upper and lower arms, finally crossing and tying at the wrists and pulling the extra rope up his back.
Compared to Shengmin who focused on tying patterns and techniques, the kidnappers focused mainly on “tightness”. Shengmin was tied so painfully he felt his hands were almost not his own.
He really wanted to complain and properly teach these unprofessional kidnappers that this tying method could strangle someone to death. But these unprofessional kidnappers were now using him as practice. Rather than teaching them how to tie properly, he'd better think about how to escape first……
After the kidnappers pulled the rope lifting Shengmin's wrists, they used this rope to tightly bind his arms and torso together, completing the upper body tying.
Upper body done, only legs left.
They tied rope from Shengmin's thighs all the way to his ankles, preventing his legs from separating, finally tying a dead knot.
Since he really couldn't handle these people, Shengmin stopped struggling and lay resignedly letting them do as they wished. But when he looked up and saw these kidnappers' tying skills, he helplessly shook his head.
Poor tying method, messy rope paths. He never expected his first time being tied would be like this. Shengmin, who had been very nervous from the gagging, felt a bit scared about being tied, but the kidnappers' clumsy skills made this experienced dom feel very disappointed, even feeling the experience was extremely poor. He firmly believed these kidnappers must be some random hired help filling numbers. If colleagues tied like this, they'd have been complained about long ago……
No, now's not the time to think about these things. When will the boss send someone to save me? If they don't come soon, I'll be taken away.
Shengmin came back to his senses and started getting anxious.
By now the kidnappers had brought the sack over, preparing to put him in.
It's over, no saving him……
The kidnappers put Shengmin into the sack from feet to neck, tightened the sack's drawstring at his neck, and finally tied him tightly together with the sack using rope, reducing his movement space.
The once arrogant dom now put in a sack and tied like a zongzi. Even if Shengmin felt the other's skills were poor, he was still caught by them.
Surrounded by these nine kidnappers, Shengmin felt very embarrassed. He really hoped they would blindfold him now so he wouldn't feel awkward. He didn't know that this was what the person who wanted to catch him requested the kidnappers to do. Including not knocking him out when first catching him, it was to make him watch himself clearly having strength to struggle but unable to escape, gradually making him feel despair.
Seeing Shengmin was packaged, the leader took a photo with his phone of Shengmin's current state and sent it to the boss above.
The person above received the photo and saw Shengmin tied and gagged. Because he wasn't blindfolded, Shengmin's wretched eyes were fully visible. The person above was very satisfied, approved the kidnappers' results, and asked them to quickly pack up and leave the scene to avoid trouble.
After getting feedback, the leader immediately blindfolded Shengmin with black wide tape and ordered his subordinates to prepare to leave.
These kidnappers had previously surveyed this building. Because of its age, the facilities were quite old. Even the emergency exits and underground parking had no surveillance, let alone this abandoned mall……
It was already dark. Under cover of night, they boldly carried Shengmin downstairs like this……
The kidnappers put Shengmin into the trunk of their van and closed the door.
Hearing the “bang” when the car door closed, Shengmin despaired.
He didn't know what would happen to him. Now he wasn't even clear who exactly wanted to catch him. Who could come save him?
Perhaps because the journey was too long and his vision was deprived by the black tape, he drowsily fell asleep.
When they arrived at the destination, he woke up and struggled a bit. Then a wet cloth covered his nose and he fell asleep again……
