Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng’s gaze sharpened, and he asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Ma Yong didn’t understand the intricacies of the Bai family but only knew that Bai Cheng and Bai Xiuming were brothers. He thought the other party might be unhappy with what he said.
He was actually somewhat afraid of Bai Cheng, but this time he mustered up some courage and said defiantly, “I didn’t say anything wrong. Mo Yi, the idea of putting thumbtacks in your shoes before was Bai Xiuming’s.
Although I don’t know why he targeted you, it’s never wrong to be cautious of him.”
After saying this, Ma Yong swiftly ran off, leaving behind a stunned Mo Yi and a Bai Cheng with a dark expression.
Mo Yi was actually happy that Ma Yong reminded him of this matter. Upon careful consideration, it made sense that it was Bai Xiuming’s doing since he was always up to no good.
But when he saw the ominous look on his partner’s face, he couldn’t help but be startled.
“Bai Cheng, what’s wrong with you? Your gaze is so scary!” Mo Yi worriedly touched his partner’s cheek, feeling the arm around his shoulder suddenly tighten.
“Sorry, Xiao Mo, it’s my fault for not protecting you.”
It was his negligence that allowed that scumbag to plot against their little puppy again. If it weren’t for He Jiajia’s appearance, they wouldn’t have discovered the tampering with the shoes, and Mo Yi might have been injured.
Mo Yi didn’t think much of it and patted his partner’s shoulder reassuringly, “Don’t blame yourself. I’m still fine, aren’t I? Bai Xiuming seems to have been trying to approach me lately, but I’ve been avoiding him. Maybe that’s why he wanted to teach me a lesson.”
Mo Yi analyzed carefully, but Bai Cheng felt even more angry upon hearing this. He buried his head in his lover’s neck, not wanting Mo Yi to see his terrifying gaze.
His pupils faintly tinged red, and his animalistic genes stirred restlessly. In his unseen oral cavity, his teeth became sharp.
Daring to touch his beloved, one must be prepared to pay the price.
On one side, Mo Yi thought everything was calm again. After the sports meeting ended, he returned home with Bai Cheng. Today, he had been running and cheering for others, so he felt quite tired after dinner and went to bed early. Little did he know that someone beside him slowly opened their eyes after he fell asleep.
On the other side, in a secluded alley, Bai Xiuming stood there, seemingly waiting for something.
Bai Xiuming felt that nothing had been going his way these days. The online incident from before hadn’t died down yet. He dared not log into his personal account anymore, as he would be met with insults and threats in the comments and private messages.

He thought he could control a small figure like Ma Yong, but he hadn’t expected Mo Yi to have some skills.
But he couldn’t keep waiting like this. Since the incident in the reporting hall, Bai Liang’s attitude toward him had become noticeably colder.
Bai Liang didn’t care what he did in private or what shady means he used, but being known to cause trouble made him lose face, something Bai Liang would never forgive.
Bai Xiuming knew Bai Liang’s true nature, selfish and hypocritical, always trying to appear superior.
In the past, Bai Liang had been nice to him because he bore the Bai surname, and his achievements brought face to the family. But… there was more than one person surnamed Bai in the family.
Aside from Jin Hanrong, who Bai Liang disliked, Bai Liang mostly just ignored Bai Cheng. But now that Bai Cheng had shown such remarkable abilities, Bai Liang felt he had gained some face.
He heard a few days ago that there would be a business cocktail party in a while, and Bai Liang actually planned to take Bai Cheng with him. Usually, Bai Liang took him to such occasions.
Could it be that his father wanted to replace him?
Realizing this, Bai Xiuming felt terrified. He had to do something; he couldn’t let Bai Cheng replace him.
Everything in the Jin family’s future should belong to him.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiuming became even more anxious.
After another ten minutes or so, several figures appeared at the street corner. One of them, a middle-aged man, was clearly being pulled along by two burly men beside him. He had a bruised face and looked submissive as he arrived in front of Bai Xiuming.
If Mo Yi were here, he would surely recognize the man as his surrogate father, Mo Hetai.
The two men threw Mo Hetai to the ground, and as soon as the man saw Bai Xiuming, he immediately recognized him. He crawled to Bai Xiuming’s feet, clutching his trouser leg, and said, “I remember you, you’re Mo Yi’s classmate, right! You lent us money last time. Please, can you lend me some money again!”
Bai Xiuming looked at the disheveled man emitting a foul odor with some disdain, and covered his nose with a handkerchief. He sarcastically replied, “Idiot.”
He gestured to the two men behind him, and Mo Hetai was pulled away.
Bai Xiuming then said, “I’m not unwilling to lend you money, but the problem lies with Mo Yi. He owes me 100,000 yuan and doesn’t listen to me. Tell me, if I were to chop off one of your fingers and give it to him, would he then know what to do?”
Before he could finish speaking, the two henchmen behind him restrained Mo Hetai again, and one of them even opened his hand and drew a knife to gesture at his fingers.
The man was instantly terrified, begging for mercy, “No! Please don’t cut off my fingers! I beg you, please let me go. Let me find Mo Yi, I’ll make him listen to you!”
Bai Xiuming sneered at the man’s plea. He had expected to scare him a bit more, but it seemed he caved in too quickly. But then again, what kind of courage could one expect from a gambler?
However, he didn’t intend to let Mo Hetai off so easily. He continued, “But he doesn’t live in the same place anymore, and it seems he doesn’t care much about you being his father. Will he really listen to what you say?”
Seeing the knife pressing against his finger, Mo Hetai screamed in desperation, “He will, he definitely will! Please spare me. I can tell you a big secret about Mo Yi. Once you know it, he’ll listen to you for sure!”
“Oh? There’s another secret.” Bai Xiuming signaled the two henchmen to stop.
Then, Mo Hetai, lifted up, swallowed nervously and mustered the courage to say, “Um, sir, this secret is huge. Can you give me some money for a fresh start? Fifty thousand, just fifty thousand. I’ll pretend he’s not my son anymore, and you can do whatever you want with him in the future.”
Selling out his son for fifty thousand yuan disgusted Bai Xiuming even more, but he only raised his hand to the two henchmen behind him.
Seeing this, Mo Hetai knew he wouldn’t get any benefits and hastily said, “Brothers, please don’t! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!
My son, he’s actually a degraded monster! His mother thought I didn’t know, but I’ve seen it all!”
“He has animal ears and a tail, he’s just an incomplete and ominous thing. He’s always been afraid of people finding out. I’ve been hiding it all these years. If you threaten him with this, he’ll definitely listen to you!”
Originally, Bai Xiuming just wanted to use Mo Yi’s father to manipulate him, but he unexpectedly got an additional surprise.
Bai Xiuming smiled with satisfaction. A degradation, if exposed, would become a target of public criticism. This was a big leverage!
In a good mood, Bai Xiuming threw a small stack of bills to Mo Hetai, who quickly picked them up as if they were treasures.
“This is your hard-earned money. If what you said is true, I’ll spare you. But you need to go find Mo Yi and convey my message to him. If he agrees to behave this time, I’ll help you repay the gambling debts you owed before. But if I find out you lied to me…”
Before Bai Xiuming could finish, the man eagerly promised, “I won’t, I absolutely won’t lie to you! Rest assured, I’ll definitely go find Mo Yi and make him listen to you!”
With the desired answer, Bai Xiuming left with his men.
After seeing everyone leave, Mo Hetai greedily counted the money in his hand. However, after counting several times, he found there were only two thousand yuan. This infuriated him.
“You bastards, trying to brush me off with just this little money!”
He lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. Sore from the beating he received earlier, he shivered in the chilly night breeze wearing thin clothes.
He reached the mouth of the alley, leaning against the wall, panting wearily. Unbeknownst to him, several slender shadows were silently creeping towards him from within the alley, twisting and turning.
“Damn it!”
He cursed as he walked, reverting to his ugly demeanor now that no one was around. He continued muttering, “Damn brat, if it weren’t for that damn brat not listening, I wouldn’t be suffering like this.”
“If I had known growing up would be like this, I should have sold him to the circus when he was still young, obediently making money for me!”
His words were cut off as something tightly gripped his neck.
Not just his neck, but soon his limbs, head, and entire body were controlled by gray tentacles resembling those of an octopus. With his neck tightly constricted, his eyeballs bulged out, and he could only make ‘hu, hu’ sounds.
Then, the tentacles exerted force, instantly pulling him back into the alley.
That night, the man never came out again.
The next day, a corner of the news reported: In the early morning, a severely injured middle-aged man was found in an alley. When found, the man’s posture was strange, his body twisted, with multiple fractures, and he was unconscious.
Doctors couldn’t determine what had happened to him, but the man’s hands and throat were severely injured. Even if he woke up, these two areas were likely to be useless.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi, who slept until mid-morning, was unaware of this. When he woke up, he was still in the warm embrace of Bai Cheng.
Rubbing his eyes, Mo Yi lazily stretched his body while hugging Bai Cheng’s neck.
Bai Cheng happily acted as his tool, holding Mo Yi until he relaxed before exchanging a sweet morning kiss with him.
Sniffing, Mo Yi asked in confusion, “Did you take a shower again?”
The scent of shower gel was still fresh.
Bai Cheng lowered his eyelids and softly replied, “Yes.”
“I touched something dirty, so I took another shower.”
Huu… One shit cleared👏
