“Damn, these damn fags are so fucking cheap, always coming to bother me.”
Lin Mu, who had just finished working out and taken a shower, complained in the gym's luggage storage room.
Recently, he had been very annoyed by some things he encountered at the gym.
Having worked out for years and built a muscular physique, he often attracted attention in the gym because of his superior body.
He was used to people approaching him, including both women and men.
In this era, the internet provides abundant information. As people's horizons broaden, various groups become known to the public.
At the same time, people are gradually learning to accept and tolerate all kinds of groups.
So, as a university student, Lin Mu had become accustomed to many things.
However, what troubled him recently was an oily old uncle at the gym who kept harassing him.
At first, the man only came to chat about fitness topics, and Lin Mu didn't think much of it.
But gradually, he started bringing up random topics to approach Lin Mu, and the frequency increased. Over time, Lin Mu developed a dislike for his proximity.
Today, after finishing his workout, as he went to the storage room to pack up and shower, he discovered this disgusting man holding his freshly changed sneakers to his nose and mouth, eyes closed in ecstasy, sniffing the scent inside…
Enraged, Lin Mu rushed over and cursed him out. If not for over a decade of quality education, he would have dragged the man out and beaten him to vent his long-standing resentment…
………………
“Mu-ge, are you leaving?”
A classmate from the same school called out to Lin Mu as he packed up and prepared to leave.
“Yeah, I need to get back to the dorm early. At this hour, aren't you worried about missing the dorm auntie's curfew?”
“Haha, don't worry about me, you go ahead.”
After exchanging a few words with his classmate, Lin Mu pushed open the gym door and left.
Before closing the soundproof glass door, he noticed the old uncle in the distance still secretly watching him.
He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at him, then shut the door and left without looking back…

“Handsome, are you heading back to X University now?”
On Lin Mu's way back, a white van stopped beside him. A young man in the passenger seat rolled down the window and called out to him.
“Yes, how did you know I'm from X University?”
“I saw you playing ball at school, you might not remember me. I'm heading back to school too, my buddy can give you a ride.”
Seeing the other man seemed talkative and around his age, Lin Mu didn't think much of it.
But not wanting to trouble others, he politely declined the offer.
Yet after being rejected, the man kept inviting Lin Mu to get in the car.
Seeing that this alumnus wasn't just being polite and genuinely seemed to want to get to know him, Lin Mu couldn't bring himself to refuse his enthusiasm anymore.
He awkwardly opened the rear door of the van and got in…
………………
After getting in, Lin Mu chatted casually with them for a bit, then looked at his phone.
Besides the driver and the passenger in the front row, there were three more people in his row and the back row.
Assuming they were all classmates from the same school, Lin Mu didn't suspect anything and waited in the van to be dropped off at the school gate.
Little did he know, in the near future, he would deeply regret his current trust in strangers. He never imagined that his life would change completely from the moment he got into this van…
………………………………
Seeing his phone was about to die, Lin Mu turned it off and looked out the window.
Watching unfamiliar streets pass by, Lin Mu felt puzzled.
“Driver, did you take a wrong turn?”
Lin Mu, still unaware of the situation, asked directly from inside the car.
However, after he spoke, the people in the car fell silent, no one responded…
Seeing no one speak, Lin Mu spoke again:
“This isn't the way to X University.”
…………
After Lin Mu finished, the people in the car still didn't seem inclined to answer him.
Finally, he started to get restless.
He loudly shouted to get out, demanding the driver stop by the roadside.
Seeing they still didn't react, he grabbed the door handle, preparing to force the door open and jump out.
But the door had been locked by the driver in advance, and he couldn't open it.
Suddenly, the car stopped at a deserted intersection.
Thinking they were about to let him out, Lin Mu pulled the door handle again.
“Stop fucking yelling, or I'll chop you up!”
Suddenly, the man sitting beside him pressed a knife against his neck.
Realizing these people meant harm, Lin Mu held his breath.
Before he could catch his breath, someone behind him jabbed a syringe into his neck, and he started to panic.
After the injection, Lin Mu felt his limbs gradually lose strength.
Unable to move, he tried to shout for help, but to his surprise, he was slowly losing even the strength to move his lips.
He looked in horror at the rearview mirror inside the car and saw the three men beside and behind him starting to pull out ropes and tape…

“Stuff his mouth tight, this kid talks too fucking much.”
“Mmmph… mmph.”
………………
In the van, the two men in the back row were stuffing a dirty cotton cloth, whose color was no longer recognizable, into Lin Mu's mouth.
By now, there were already at least two such cloths in his mouth, but the men were still forcing more in…
Only when Lin Mu's cheeks became swollen and his lips could no longer close did the men stop gagging him.
Then, they tore off a piece of transparent tape and smoothed it over Lin Mu's mouth.
With the tape in place, Lin Mu's lips could no longer move.
The man pressed the tape firmly against Lin Mu's lips with his fingers, then satisfactorily peeled off the protective backing.
After the tape was secured, another man behind Lin Mu wrapped several layers of silver tape around his already taped mouth…
“Are these people ever going to stop?”
Lin Mu wondered to himself.
An hour ago, after being injected with muscle relaxant, Lin Mu had been moved to the rearmost row of the van.
The two men in the back seat had been tying him up since then.
They first tightly bound Lin Mu's arms and hands to his upper body.
Since he was only wearing a white tank top after his workout and shower, Lin Mu could clearly feel the ropes digging deep into his muscles.
He felt uncomfortable and helpless, but could only watch silently as they finished binding his upper body and started restraining his lower body.
They meticulously bound his thighs, calves, above and below the knees, and ankles.
After securing the rope at his ankles, the man tying his legs roughly pulled off his sneakers, revealing the white elite basketball socks he had just put on after working out.
Although he had showered and changed into new socks, Lin Mu's clean white athletic socks still carried the unique hormonal scent of a young athlete.
Feeling embarrassed and ashamed, Lin Mu tried to pull his legs back as his strength gradually returned.
Unexpectedly, the man grabbed his white-socked foot and tickled the sole, making him laugh involuntarily.
Hearing Lin Mu's laughter, the man looked up at him. Then, he signaled to the man behind Lin Mu, who understood and covered Lin Mu's mouth, leading to the scene that followed…
