And so, Ryan became a ‘guest’ in Yang Huaijin’s home. However, what Yang Huaijin didn’t expect was that Ryan wasn’t alone; accompanying him was Alice.

Ryan and Alice, a pair of ‘siblings’ whose appearance and hair color clearly indicated no blood relation, yet Ryan doted on Alice in every possible way. Even when it came to confining Yang Huaijin, Ryan insisted on bringing his ‘sister’ along, which was rather intriguing. QjwIed

The girl wore a beautiful dress, fluttering around the room like a little bird, curious about everything, constantly praising Yang Huaijin’s beautiful house and good taste, with a full sense of admiration.

Yang Huaijin was cold and indifferent to Ryan’s business, but he couldn’t muster any dislike towards Alice, such a lively girl. Although he knew she was not simple, he still treated her gently, answering any questions she had. Ryan was not one for many words, most of the time he watched from afar as Yang Huaijin and Alice interacted. Occasionally, when subordinates came to report work, he would leave for the rooftop garden, never intruding on Yang Huaijin’s personal space. In this apartment, Ryan seemed more like an incidental guest, while Alice appeared more like Yang Huaijin’s friend.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

For several days, everything remained peaceful, but the occurrence of an incident was just a moment away beneath the calm surface.

It was a rainy night when Ryan’s men dumped a man onto the green marble floor of Yang Huaijin’s house. The rain outside was heavy, drenching the man completely. His lips were bleeding from the beating, his cheeks swollen high, indicating injuries unknown, and rainwater mingled with traces of blood seeped onto the ground. JDbgse

The man lifted his head, revealing himself to be Lao He.

Two days ago, Yang Huaijin had arranged for Lao He to contact some people, investigating Ryan, and making arrangements to get out of the current situation. The actions were extremely subtle, but now it seemed that things had still been exposed.

Ryan elegantly crossed one long leg, with a hint of regret in his tone. “Noah, it seems you don’t really cherish the people around you!”

It was already late at night when Ryan knocked on Yang Huaijin’s door before bedtime. He was wearing soft home clothes, his glasses switched from contacts to a more comfortable frame. He looked young, dressed very casually, not resembling a gangster, but rather a young office worker relaxing at home, with a hint of laziness and exhaustion before sleep.

“You had someone named Zhou Qing, an Omega, investigate my goods,” Ryan stated flatly. vPNwEb

“Very well, your Chinese grammar is very accurate in that sentence,” Yang Huaijin nodded through gritted teeth. “I had Zhou Qing investigate your goods. I’m the one behind this. Today, Lao He was also working for me. What’s the point of capturing them?”

“Noah, I thought we had already made it clear. I won’t stop your work, but don’t think you can avoid me either. I thought we were getting along well these past few days.”

As Ryan had mentioned, although he had been staying at Yang Huaijin’s house these past few days, he hadn’t interfered with his work. He could see his own subordinates, handle affairs within the Qingyan Gang, and even ‘go out freely,’ as long as everything was under Ryan’s surveillance, it was all allowed.

“Our definitions of ‘pleasant’ seem to differ quite a bit,” Yang Huaijin remarked without mercy. yMJ3So

“Noah, what do you want Zhou Qing to investigate? I can share everything with my Omega, and if you want to know something, you can ask me directly,” Ryan stood up and approached Yang Huaijin. “Indeed, not all the goods on my ship are related to the Qingyan Gang, and smuggling those goods in A City is even more illegal than smuggling arms. However, if you come to me and ask, I will tell you everything about it, and I even planned to take you to visit my ’empire.'”

“Noah, why did you secretly investigate me?” Ryan suddenly reached out, gripping Yang Huaijin’s neck. “This makes me very unhappy.”

Ryan didn’t exert much force with his hand, mostly relying on the threat, but unfortunately, Yang Huaijin showed no signs of fear at all. He shrugged, “Well, that’s my mistake. I should have blown up your ship first before discussing cooperation with you. Now you’ve won, I surrender, do whatever you want. But you have to release my people first.”

Before he finished speaking, Yang Huaijin swiftly drew the pistol hidden under his sleepwear. vtsM i

Ryan’s men were already wary of Yang Huaijin’s actions. The sound of bullets being loaded echoed in unison, aiming their guns at vital points on Yang Huaijin’s body.

However, Yang Huaijin’s gun was not aimed at Ryan but pressed against his own temple.

“Anelli, release your hand,” Yang Huaijin said.

Ryan’s chest heaved, Yang Huaijin’s actions angered him greatly, even more so than having the gun pressed against his own head. In the end, he reluctantly released his grip on Yang Huaijin’s neck and took a step back. STyiWs

“Very well,” Yang Huaijin smiled. “I don’t believe someone who would shoot their own trusted subordinate can truly keep their word, so I’ll personally ensure the safety of my people!”

“Master Jin!” Lao He’s voice was unsteady, trembling as he called out.

“Let my people go, now.”

“Noah, you really aren’t a qualified Omega, you’re too unruly,” Ryan shook his head, gesturing for his subordinates to escort Lao He away. RIBpO3

“After ensuring Zhou Qing’s safety, I’ll go with you. However, Mr. Anelli, please think carefully. Provoking Master Jin of the Qingyan Gang in A City is not a wise decision. As for my gender, I sincerely advise you to attend an ABO equality course…”

Yang Huaijin didn’t manage to finish his next words before a severe numbing sensation struck his back. It was some sort of drug, precisely injected near his spine. Its effects were quicker than any other anesthetic, and as the blood flowed through his body, Yang Huaijin collapsed.

The girl’s clear, nice voice rang out, “Ryan, I’ve always said, a tranquilizer gun works better against Noah than live ammunition.”

Before his vision blurred, Yang Huaijin saw Ryan’s exquisite handmade leather shoes step closer to him. His voice sounded distant, “Noah, I’ve said before, Omegas can never achieve equality. An Alpha’s pursuit of an Omega is just another form of hunting.” c9AlBN
