Chapter 8: Qi Yuan’s People
“Isn’t the boss coming yet, he’s never late.” Liu Li glanced at his watch, “Who is going to urge him?”
The four members of the action team stared at each other, but no one said a word.
“Ever since that Omega came, the boss has been weird, I didn’t expect that someone like him who is an iron tree would bloom one day…”
“You don’t understand,” Dong Yu smiled, “That’s not an Omega, he is a witch who has brought disaster to the people around him!”
Dong Yu was different from them, he used to live in Xuancheng and was the guard of the Qi family. Later, he came out to follow Qi Yuan and knew a lot of secrets. He is addicted to storytelling and exaggerated stories, with femme fatales, heroes, monsters, and so on- everyone urged him to continue speaking once he started.
“Tell us about it!”
“Then don’t tell anyone!” Dong Yu’s eyes lit up, he drank a sip of water to moisten his throat and started his piece of gossip.
The Qi family is huge, ruling the vast land of Longye, and Qi Yuan has an older sister and two older brothers, he is an illegitimate child, and he doesn’t even know who his mother is.
This was a standard start! Everyone took out a small snack and listened with great interest while eating.
The master of the Qi family, Qi Zhen, is a great figure, his iron-blooded methods terrify the enemy, and his kindness and generosity have won the love of his subjects. He single-handedly created the prosperity of Longye City, and he is an almost perfect man. If he were to have a flaw then it is that he is too fond of Qi Yuan, an illegitimate child.
When he was 12 years old, the third young master Qi Yuan was kidnapped by a personal guard, and the old man was so anxious that he hurriedly sent a personal guard to chase after him. Coincidentally, after the kidnapper was injured and died, the third young master was rescued by a hooligan gangster – that hooligan gangster was Ye Zhan.
Later, Master Qi found them, and to express his gratitude, he took Ye Zhan back together with the third young master. Ye Zhan has eaten and lived with the third young master since then, they were inseparable, and the master has never mistreated him.
Before the age of 17, the third young master was raised in a honey pot- although it was inevitable for him to bear the malice of some older brothers and sisters, he had a strong father as a backing. When speaking of this, Dong Yu slapped his thigh- unfortunately, the young master was too simple-minded, and he fell for the witch’s poisonous scheme!
It turns out that Ye Zhan’s background is not simple, and it seems to be inextricably linked to a large, underground organization. Everyone hurriedly asked what kind of big organization it was, and Dong Yu said that if it was easy for them to know, what kind of big, underground organization would it be?
It can be seen that he doesn’t know either.
After Ye Zhan gained a firm foothold in Xuancheng, he immediately revealed his true form- he stole some secret information and passed it on to the organization behind him. However, in the end, evil does not prevail over good, and he is soon caught by Qi Yuan’s eldest sister Qi Chaiyuan, and hung up. This Ye Zhan has good skills as he slipped out of the cell alive, and he was also very gutsy- he didn’t run away directly but he stole a flying ship and kidnapped the third young master together!
In order to recover his beloved son, Master Qi immediately sent a personal guard to search for him. This plot seems familiar- everyone starts gossiping, saying that the young master is really too miserable.
Dong Yu’s face sank and said, “What happened next can only make people angry.”
Coincidentally, as soon as the guards left, Master Qi encountered a sneak attack. It is said that the night was dark and the winds were strong at that time, and the murderer took advantage of the chaos to approach Master Qi, and wound him with a knife. Master Qi’s skull was cracked open. Fortunately, he was discovered by the guards on duty, and the murderer fled in a hurry before he succeeded. When Master Qi was rescued, he only had a breath left, and he was still in a coma. The perpetrator of the sneak attack has not been caught so far.
After Ye Zhan ran away with the third young master, he left him behind halfway. Where did he leave him behind?! At Guiru- everyone knew what kind of place Guiru was, Ye Zhan just wanted the third young master to die.
He was truly scum- a real scum! There was a look of indignation on the faces of the people.
What else was he but a witch? Master Qi was in a coma, and the Qi family was in chaos, naturally, no one cared about the life or death of the third young master, so he left the delicate third young master to wander outside for five years. Thanks to these things, how could there be today’s boss? How else would we have the good days they have now?
This is what they call turning misfortune into a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, there could’ve been many types of fate that awaited him- he could’ve been captured, sold, harvested for organs, die of starvation, and so on…

Everyone nodded yes again and again.

“I don’t want you to die, and I don’t want to stay with you so just kill me,” Ye Zhan stepped back abruptly, and in this retreat, he stuck his whole body against the wall, “For the sake of me taking care of you in the past, don’t torture me.”
“I’m not going to kill you.”
“I don’t know how to serve people, and if you want to keep me as a pet, you’d better keep an eye on your little brother.” Ye Zhan lowered his voice and threatened, “I don’t have any value at all, I don’t know the whereabouts of the videotape, I didn’t steal it at all!”
“I know.”
“You know?” Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow.
“Well, it’s probably not you. It doesn’t matter anyways.” Qi Yuan paused for a moment, and then said, “I will keep you alive and give you a chance to leave.”
“How?”
“Come back to the Qi family’s house with me and find the real culprit who attacked my father,” Qi Yuan said, “Then I’ll let you go.”
The Qi family… The thought of that place flooded him with terrible memories of joy, pain, and sorrow, and he never had the luxury of ever expecting to go back.
The old man of the Qi family was attacked five years ago, if there were really any clues, it would have been buried long ago, and he was involved in Qi Yuan’s kidnapping at that time, so he was not at the scene at all. If he wanted to find out the real culprit five years ago, it is not realistic at all, Qi Yuan might as well say that he will let himself go when the sun rises out of the west.
After a turn of thoughts, Ye Zhan nodded and said, “Okay, I promise you.”
He decided to cooperate first and look for opportunities in it.
“Okay.” Qi Yuan looked very happy, he grabbed his wrist and untied the chain on his hand for him, “I’ll untie the chain for you first, remember to promise me something, don’t run away.”
“Hmm.” Ye Zhan nodded obediently in agreement.
Qi Yuan left quickly that night and never returned. The next morning, Feng Rao brought him breakfast as promised, and was a little surprised to see the chain in his hand untied.
“I don’t need to trouble you to deliver food in the future,” Ye Zhan said with a smile, “If Doctor Feng is free then take me out for a walk.”
“I’ll be free at noon,” said Feng Rao, “and I’ll take you to the cafeteria, but you’d better follow me, the others may not be so friendly. Oh yes, this one is for you.”
As he spoke, he pulled out a dozen plaster-like things from his pocket.
“Aren’t you unwilling to take the suppressant then I think you need these, pheromone suppression stickers,” Feng Rao patted him on the back kindly, “This thing is not worth much, you can use it, put a few more stickers on your body.”
This definitely helped him a lot! Ye Zhan was a little moved, “Thank you, Doctor Feng.”
“You’re welcome.” Feng Rao waved his hand.
At noon, Ye Zhan took a shower, put on the inhibition sticker, and after confirming that there was no strange smell on his body, he opened Qi Yuan’s wardrobe to find clothes to wear.
He doesn’t know what fertilizer this guy ate but he grew so tall- when Ye Zhan put on his shirt, he found that the hem covered his buttocks, and when he put on his pants, he had to fold the trouser legs. Everything he wore was loose on him and he exuded the smell of Qi Yuan from head to toe, which gave a message of its own. Everything was ready, Ye Zhan took out the third glass shard from the mirror and carefully tied it to his trousers.
“Hey, my memory has been a bit fuzzy nowadays- I forgot to prepare clothes for you, you can wear this set first…” Feng Rao pushed the door in, holding a set of clothes in his hand, and when he saw his shape, he felt his tongue was knotted, “You… You’re just… Wearing the boss’s clothes?!”
“What’s wrong?” Ye Zhan asked him.
“He hates things when people touch his things.” Feng Rao said.
“I also hate it when people touch my things, but he still dismantled my Shen Lan,” Ye Zhan didn’t care, “Let’s go.”
Walking through the spaceship’s oval-shaped corridor, he can see the scenery outside from the window. The clouds of lead ash were piling up, it was raining, and the color of the earth was even more ugly, dirty gray, moldy green, and yellow, these patches of color were mixed like a puddle of God’s vomit.
There are no landmarks, so it’s impossible to tell where they were, and it would be hilarious if he were to escape only to fall into a tertiary pollution zone. Ye Zhan silently turned his head and looked ahead.
The cafeteria was on the other side of the ship, and there were more and more people coming and going, all of them young men and women, mostly Alpha, all of whom were athletic and fierce-looking.
This is “Zhu Huang”, Ye Zhan has also heard a lot of information in the past two days, and knows that this is a robber gang that is in the limelight, there are not many members, but they are all very capable of fighting, the leader is especially skilled in fighting. The territory of Zhu Huang was something he gained in one go.
Fortunately, Ye Zhan was not even afraid of Qi Yuan, so of course he was fearless when facing this group of people- he followed Feng Rao to the cooking team without squinting. There is only one window for food, and it is the time of the meal, and the queue is very long.
He consciously stood at the end of the line, and a female alpha in front of him turned her head and sniffed, a palpable look of disgust on her face.
After all, Qi Yuan had never officially introduced his identity, he had spent the past two days in detention and coma, and now he had pheromone suppression stickers around his neck and Qi Yuan’s clothes, Ye Zhan knew very well what these people imagined himself to be.
He pretended not to see their faces and waited patiently in line. Finally, when he reached the start, he saw a pot of vegetable soup burned into a paste and a pot of black rumbling beast meat, exuding an ominous taste.
Wearing an apron and holding a large spoon was a tall Alpha, with unruly yellow hair on his head, and his face glowing with a cold metallic color.
Ye Zhan handed out his lunch tray- the alpha looked at him unhappily, and waved the big spoon violently, “It’s not your turn, get out and return to the back!”
Ye Zhan shrewdly ducked back when he moved, but he dodged the large steel spoon, and the gravy on it splashed on his shirt, leaving a string of stains.
“Fan’er, he’s lined up.” Feng Rao hurriedly explained to him.
“I’m in charge today, so I’m going to follow my rules. None of the seniors have eaten, so what qualifications does this newcomer have to eat?” Fan Xiao knocked on the rice bowl with a steel spoon, and said to Ye Zhan angrily, “You wait on the side.”
It was common for the newcomer to be bullied so Ye Zhan shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside with his lunch tray.
“I’m sorry, Fan’er has a bit of a temper.” Feng Rao said apologetically.
“It’s okay, Doctor Feng, you go eat first,” Ye Zhan’s index finger pressed against the bottom of the lunch box, spinning like a basketball, “I’ll just wait for the seniors to finish eating.”
“Well, I’ll be waiting for you at that table.” Feng Rao left with a boxed lunch with some concern.
Fan Xiao didn’t expect this pretty little newcomer to be so easy to handle, so he was even more unscrupulous, “So well-behaved, no wonder the boss likes you. Is it because you like it better if it hurts? Would you moan even when in pain?”
Fan Xiao pinched his throat and imitated a delicate cry, which caused the people in line to laugh. Ye Zhan also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, as if he didn’t feel anger at being mocked.
He was so good-tempered that Fan Xiao felt bored, he put him aside and continued to cook for others.
Ye Zhan watched from the sidelines and gradually saw some clues, it turned out that there was no special cook on this spaceship, and the cooking was all done by the members of the group in shifts. Fan Xiao, who is in charge of cooking today, is a squad leader and has a certain prestige among the members. He has a straightforward temperament, he seems to be very popular, and he can chat with everyone who comes to eat.
Soon, it was the turn of a tall, lanky man, dressed in a leather jacket and with aviator goggles on his head. As soon as he saw the pot of vegetables, the man’s face wrinkled as if he just bit into a bitter gourd, “Fan’er, you are simply ruining the ingredients!”
“Eat it, you!” Fan Xiao gave him a big spoonful of meat, “If you have the ability, go drive the fighter jet and go down there to find food by yourself!”
Huh?
Ye Zhan’s eyes lit up, the tall man in front of him was a pilot, and the nameplate on his chest showed that his name was Qin Hang, but he didn’t expect to hit the jackpot just by standing aside.
“I asked Xiao-Dong that day, shit-flavored chocolate, chocolate-flavored shit, or Fan’er’s cooked dishes, which one will you choose, and guess which one he chooses?” Qin Hang handed out the lunch tray, “One more spoonful, I have to go out on a mission at night.”
“What’s the mission?” Fan Xiao decisively ignored the question of his cooking and the shit-flavored chocolate.
“Maybe it’s for the sake of the fertile soil of Qingya, the boss didn’t elaborate, he also went ahead, and we probably won’t be able to come back in about two days.”
Oh, two days? Ye Zhan set off a string of firecrackers in his heart.
“There is no shortage of people, take me there,” Fan Xiao gave him another spoonful without saying a word, “I’ve been suffocating to death in the sky recently.”
“Okay, I’ll ask the boss for you when he gets back.” Qin Hang agreed.
Ye Zhan seized the opportunity to interject, “Those pieces of meat are not good, you should eat them carefully, else you might have diarrhea when you go out on a mission.”
Fan Xiao and Qin Hang looked at him at the same time. This pot of stewed beast meat is all prey that has been brought back from foreign beasts to ordinary beasts, as long as they are not poisonous, they are all cut into pieces of minced meat, then Fan Xiao poured countless thick oil red sauce to cover up the fishy smell of the beast meat, and each piece of meat is black and shiny.
The taste of animal meat is either good or bad, and it is often only when you take a bite that you can determine whether you have won the lottery. Now someone can actually say that they can distinguish which animal meat is which?
“Why do you say these pieces of meat are bad?” Fan Xiao asked angrily.
“These pieces are typical of those Chiyou-mutated beasts,” Ye Zhan pointed out, “The piece next to it should be an amoeba cut into sections, and the one over there is fox fairy meat… Although none of these meats are poisonous, they are very dry, they hurt the spleen and stomach, and the taste is not good.”
Fan Xiao looked at it and still felt that every piece of meat looked the same, and sneered, “What are you even doing there?”
Qin Hang also asked, “Yes, they look all the same to me, how can you tell the difference?”
When the people in line saw the excitement, they all came up to watch, but they didn’t care to believe the words of the pretty little thing. Most of them have eaten a hodgepodge of animal meat for half their lives, and it is common to have bad stomachs after doing so, they have never heard of anyone who can distinguish good meat from bad meat.
Someone asked, “Isn’t the fox fairy meat purple? Cut it open and see if he was talking nonsense.”
“Yes, cut it open and see!”
“Cut it open, then.” Ye Zhan raised his chin calmly.
Fan Xiao didn’t want to care about his words but when he saw that the newcomer looked confident, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry – when did a bitch who can only sell his body ever dare to come and teach them about beasts?!
He picked up the kitchen knife with a sharp movement and cut through the flesh with one swish.
Two or three people around all came up to take a look, and there was a faint purple color to where the bones were connected. Sure enough, it was fox fairy meat!
Wow. I mean, we knew he f*cked Qi Yuan over, but that was so much worse then I thought it would be!
But why, is the question. The fact he was so happy QY was okay shows he still cares about him, so why dump him somewhere so dangerous?
I’m hoping there’s more to it as well. He was probably forced to do some of it by the “gang” he belonged to, but kidnapping him just to leave him somewhere horrible like that? 🤔 I don’t want to believe the MC is that level of scum. 😂
My thought is he had to leave him there because bringing him would be even more dangerous. I’m curious about the omega injections too – we saw him considering seducing an alpha to escape (in line with the rumors), but when we saw him in action he was actually disguised as a beta and the alpha was the one who tried to force him. He’s puzzling, even when most of the story is from his POV
