Bonus Chapter 3/4
Chapter 26: Qi Zhen
When they returned home and closed the door, their postures immediately changed. Ye Zhan quickly widened the distance between the two, and Qi Yuan quickly threw away his gentle mask. When he doesn’t have to go out to socialise, he often has only one expression, and that is expressionless. His facial features are deep, the bridge of his nose is straight and his eyes are sharp, like his father, and he is born with the majesty of a superior person.
Coupled with the coercion of the dragon bloodline and the aura of the top Alpha, when he no longer pretends to be easy-going, that pressure will be clearly manifested, as if he was in a battlefield background filled with gunpowder.
As soon as one would look at him like that, they would know that he was still holding grudges.
Qi Yuan sat on the bed and patted the vacant seat next to him, “What are you doing standing at the door, come and sit.”
“What are you doing?” Ye Zhan asked suspiciously.
“Ha,” Qi Yuan didn’t know what was happening in his head, “What do you want to do?”
Ye Zhan realised that he was in the wrong, but he would never be embarrassed, so he walked over to Qi Yuan and sat down, “I owe you for the detector, say, what do you want?”
Qi Yuan gave the answer without hesitation, “Kiss me.”
Ye Zhan was startled, looked at Qi Yuan’s face carefully, but saw that he looked serious, and the words of refusal slipped around the tip of his tongue before he spit it out, “No.”
“Then what did you ask me for?” Qi Yuan asked coldly, staring at his beautifully shaped, light-coloured lips.
Ye Zhan stalked for a moment, and suddenly felt that his guilt was really redundant, but whenever he took a step back, this guy would invade with a couple of steps without any scruples!

Hmph, when you’re in a good mood, you say “good morning” gently, and “without you, my life is only unfortunate”, and when you’re in a bad mood, your face is stinky, and you’re too lazy to hide your possessiveness, isn’t this still a child’s temperament?

Ye Zhan really believed that he had not changed his mind, and as long as he prayed for himself, he would be able to get everything except freedom.
This is the easiest way to please, as long as he is obedient, cooperative, and begging for mercy, he can make his life more comfortable, let Qi Yuan relax his vigilance, and create an opportunity for escape. Stubbornness only brings pain and punishment.
He has always been able to bend and stretch, and in order to deceive the Alphas who think highly of themselves, he can pretend to be a weak and clingy Omega, and pour out countless lies without changing his face. But Qi Yuan was different, he didn’t want to deceive him emotionally at all.
He also has a bottom line, Ye Zhan thought, drawing a circle around Qi Yuan is where he can draw his bottom line.
“I don’t want that privilege.” He bluntly refused.
“Why don’t you want to pretend? Please me like you used to, isn’t it good to wag your tail and beg for mercy like you do to other Alphas?” Qi Yuan leaned over and gently stroked his cheek, “Lie to me, make me happy, I will pretend not to see that you are lying to me.”
Ye Zhan couldn’t help but shudder. The remaining Alpha part of his body was boiling with blood from the proximity of a more powerful kind, and his whole body was tense like a drawn bowstring where he could be bitten into the throat with a single bite. At the same time, the Omega part of his body gradually sought out the Alpha’s proximity, and he was very eager to rush into his arms to gain more caresses.
On the one hand, he was eager to escape, and on the other hand, he couldn’t help but want to get closer, Ye Zhan forcibly suppressed these two contradictory emotions with reason, and raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuan, “Do you want to know what happened five years ago?”
“What?”
“I’ll tell you all about why I had to take you away, about the 3/4 plan, all the things you didn’t know.” Ye Zhan cautiously threw out his chips, “In exchange, you can’t pursue today’s matter anymore.”
Qi Yuan stared at him as if judging that his words were somewhat true, Ye Zhan leaned back, relaxed his body, and made a gesture of ease, “Think about it clearly, there is only one chance, and I am rarely in the mood to take the initiative to confess. You know very well that no one can pry my mouth open when I don’t want to say something.”
He is reluctant to explain the past, firstly, he is unwilling to defend himself, he doesn’t want to look like he was desperate to remedy the situation, in his opinion, the past is the past, and since it cannot be changed, then he can only accept it. Besides, he didn’t want Qi Yuan to change his attitude towards him, it was best not to have other emotions other than disgust so that he would want to himself away as soon as possible.
But after seeing the “1/2” mark on X-39’s belly, he realized that he had long been involved in a puzzle that he couldn’t see clearly, and his memories involved too many useful details, after weighing it, he still decided to reveal some key information to Qi Yuan.
“Okay.” Qi Yuan became interested, he retracted his hands, and sat down on the edge of the bed, his hands naturally flat on his knees, as if he was obediently waiting for a bedtime story like when he was a child.
“Let me think about it… let’s start with our encounter.” Ye Zhan said, “That kidnapper ……”
“His name is Tingwu, and like Long Yin, they both have the Earth and Heaven character in their names.” Qi Yuan said, “He has taken care of me since I was a child.”
“Okay, Tingwu, he kidnapped you when you were 12 years old, didn’t he? He entrusted you to me and before he died, he kept saying something like ‘Don’t go back’. He had a badge made of gold on his chest with the mark 3/4 on it. However, the gold was quickly melted by me and sold. Do you remember why he kidnapped you?”
“I don’t remember,” Qi Yuan shook his head, “At that time, I was very sick and in a daze, and when I woke up, I found that I was now in your arms.”
“Yes, then your father found us and took you back with him, taking me with him. They said Tingwu was a traitor, a kidnapper, and that he took you away to extort ransom. Of course, I didn’t believe it, but there was no better way than to send you home, you were so weak and I couldn’t afford your treatment with my little money. And your dad feels pretty good about me, and I thought that he should be able to protect you.”
Ye Zhan will never forget the first time he saw Qi Zhen, and it is easy to understand why people are willing to gather around him, like a group of ministers worshipping their king. It was not long after he picked up Qi Yuan that Ye Zhan felt that he was being monitored.
It was as if there was a group of masters lurking in the dark, but they didn’t approach him easily, and would even help him solve some troubles. For example, if Qi Yuan sneezes while he sleeps at night, there will be an extra quilt at the door the next day, and if a gangster next door comes to the door to provoke trouble, he will later be found stuffed into a stinky ditch the next day……
Ye Zhan’s curiosity became stronger and stronger, and finally, he couldn’t help but follow one of the lurkers and come to a palace-like hotel. The person who was followed by him opened the door, but did not go in, and said with a smile, “Since you are here, why don’t you come in and have a look?”
Ye Zhan subconsciously wanted to run, but the man said, “You have worked hard to take care of the third young master these days, and the master has always wanted to see you.”
Oh, so it was Qi Zhen. These days, Ye Zhan has been listening to Qi Yuan shouting about how wise and powerful his father is, how legendary and great. Of course, from the child’s occasionally gloomy expression and the narration between the lines, Ye Zhan guessed that he was just an illegitimate child, the product of an affair, and Qi Zhen was old enough to be his grandfather.
After hesitating, Ye Zhan still followed the man into the building. There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides and unless Qi Zhen had a hobby of swatting flies with his bare hands at close range when he could remotely control the people under his command to kill himself so he temporarily knew that he was safe.
It was a luxurious hotel, empty inside, and seemed to have been requisitioned as a dedicated base. Ye Zhan went up to the top floor, where an entire floor was Qi Zhen’s private area. He wanted to jot down the road map, but he couldn’t help but be drawn to the artwork in the hallway, one moment, there was a sculpture of a naked man with distinct muscles, and the next a mural with famous mountains and rivers painted in ink. Overhead, there is a dragon-shaped lantern, casting flowing light and shadow on the carpet, Ye Zhan felt like he was walking in a dream, feeling that everything he sees is so brilliant and incredible.
The gilded incense burner sizzled the curling sandalwood, and Ye Zhan couldn’t help but raise his hand and smell a sour smell on his body. On the bright metal frame, he saw his face, mixed with dirty dirt and dried blood, and a pair of golden-brown eyes that shimmered with alertness, like a wild fox that had strayed into the concrete forest.
He was led into the study, and the first thing he saw was a thin and pale young man, with long black hair cascading down to his waist, and a thin neck with a black dragon tattoo. It was a moment of eye contact and he couldn’t see any movement at all before the gun in the young man’s hand was aimed at him.
Ye Zhan was highly nervous, and even if it was a slight shake, the gun would turn in close track, and the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at his heart. This guy is more sinister and terrifying than everyone he has ever seen, but at the same time, he also shows restraint that is very inconsistent with his strength – Ye Zhan will later know that this kind of “restraint” is the sign of a real master.
“Long Yin, don’t scare the child.” The boss’s chair facing the floor-to-ceiling window turned back, and Ye Zhan saw an old man with gray hair who was in good spirits, wearing a crisp gray suit. His facial features are as heroic as a sword-wielding knight, and his dark eyes are like deep ancient wells, peaceful and secluded.
What a look…… Although there was a gap of nearly sixty years, the father and son look too similar and do not need any identification, and one can see at a glance that the blood relationship between them is very thick.
He had never seen such an old man, no, it was better to say that he had seen very few old people, people who are born in troubled times die before they become minors, most people of this era die at a young age or die when their strength was exhausted, and there was no shortage of such people.
“Hello, Xiao Ye Zhan.” Although they had never met, Qi Zhen directly used a cordial title, and Ye Zhan didn’t feel much discomfort but he was a little flattered.
“Hello.” Ye Zhan walked to the desk carved from the roots of the ancient tree and looked at Qi Zhen with fixed eyes.
Long Yin brought a chair over, placed it behind him, and then pressed his shoulder and asked him to sit down.
As soon as Ye Zhan sat down, his hand was just able to reach the table but his feet couldn’t reach the ground, making him look smaller. He tried to straighten his back like a little adult, but in fact, his toes were curled up in his torn shoes.
Well, he could no longer laughed at Qi Yuan’s short stature……
