The ‘Qi-ge’ mentioned by Feng Zhi is named Chen Qi. He used to be a notorious gangster in the slums of A City, committing all sorts of crimes, enough to keep him in prison for two lifetimes. In recent years, he suddenly disappeared, only to resurface in such a remote corner, engaging in even more illegal activities like human trafficking.
Chen Qi strolled over to Yang Huaijin. “I heard you wanted to run away?”
“…”
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Chen Qi kicked out fiercely, landing a blow on Yang Huaijin’s ribs.
Yang Huaijin groaned in pain.
“No Omega dares to break my rules. Spit it out, whose idea was it? Tell me now, and you’ll suffer less.”
Yang Huaijin curled his body, remaining silent.

“Not talking, huh?” Chen Qi sneered, “Take his clothes off for me!”

Immediately, a lackey stepped forward eagerly to carry out Chen Qi’s orders. Yang Huaijin’s clothes were stripped off, leaving only his underwear. With no clothes to conceal them, the numerous scars on his back, arms, and legs were exposed.
Chen Qi raised his foot and ruthlessly stomped on the scars. “0325 has confessed already,” he said. “He claimed he incited your escape. Confess your plan, tell me who else was involved, and I’ll let you off.”
Yang Huaijin was shocked, finding it hard to believe.
0325 was the Omega who had escaped with Yang Huaijin. Here, they were identified by numbers; Yang Huaijin’s number was 0330. From the moment they were captured, they disappeared from the world, no longer having names.
Yang Huaijin suddenly grabbed Chen Qi’s ankle, propped himself up, and said coldly, “It wasn’t him. I incited him to escape with me, and I planned the route and everything. Release 0325!” He didn’t expect 0325 to take all the blame upon himself. He couldn’t bear to watch someone else die because of him.
Chen Qi smiled with satisfaction. “I knew it was you, you little bitch! A university student, right? Educated, strategic, huh?” Chen Qi pressed harder with his foot, bending down to grab Yang Huaijin’s hair and lift him up. “You dared to defy my rules. Today, I’ll show you what it means to wish for death!”
Chen Qi yanked Yang Huaijin’s hair and slapped him twice. “I’ll give you a chance to repent. Now, call yourself a ‘little bitch’ and then kowtow to me. If I’m satisfied, I’ll consider letting you go. Otherwise… once 0325’s wounds are healed, he’ll be thrown into the red-light district of the slums to earn money as a real bitch, and you can accompany him.”
Yang Huaijin remained silent.
“Not admitting your mistake, huh? That’s fine. Let’s see if your head is harder or the ground is harder!” With that, Chen Qi grabbed Yang Huaijin’s head and slammed it fiercely against the ground.
His arm was suddenly seized in mid-air, the fingers of the other person gripping it like iron tongs, rendering Chen Qi immobile.
Seizing Chen Qi’s arm, Feng Zhi said, “Qi-ge, his test results came out today. Perhaps it’s better to take a look before deciding how to deal with him.”
Chen Qi snorted coldly and released Yang Huaijin. “If you’re useless, the red-light district awaits you!”
The resort where Chen Qi was stationed served as an outermost stronghold for Omega trafficking. His main responsibilities included capturing and guarding Omegas. Upon arrival, every Omega caught here underwent detailed physical examinations, with the most crucial test being genetic screening. If an Omega’s genes were deemed excellent, they would be sent to the next higher level for training until they fetched a sufficiently high price. On the other hand, Omegas with less favorable genes were typically sold into the black market or other shady industries. Those who didn’t obey were dealt with by Chen Qi himself, either kept around to ‘earn money’ or ‘disposed of’. The only principle was: never let them go. Holding such power over life and death only fueled Chen Qi’s ferocity and madness.
After seeing Yang Huaijin’s medical report, Chen Qi angrily tore up the paper and stormed into the interrogation room where 0325 was being interrogated. Soon, cries of pain and tears could be heard emanating from the room.
0325 was an Omega with ordinary genetics, providing Chen Qi with ample justification to dispose of him for any disobedience. On the contrary, Yang Huaijin’s examination results were completely opposite to 0325’s. He was an Omega with exceptionally superior genetics, specifically named for protection and care. Not only was he not to be harmed, but he also had to be well taken care of. In a few days, someone from higher up would come to take him away for further arrangements. Unable to touch Yang Huaijin, Chen Qi directed his anger towards 0325 instead.
Feng Zhi pulled up Yang Huaijin from the ground, wrapped him in a blanket, and instructed a few of his subordinates to arrange a new accommodation for him. Omegas who passed the genetic testing and obtained excellent results would receive the best care, and a different group of people would be responsible for Yang Huaijin’s upcoming ‘training program’.
As Feng Zhi turned to leave, Yang Huaijin grabbed his wrist. Turning back, he saw the young man’s face filled with anguish.
“Please, I beg you, save 0325,” Yang Huaijin pleaded. The two interrogation rooms in the basement were very close, and he could clearly hear 0325’s cries of pain.
Feng Zhi’s gaze shifted downward, looking at the hand holding his wrist, staring at it until Yang Huaijin uncomfortably let go.
“I can’t save anyone,” Feng Zhi said, but then he turned around and entered the adjacent interrogation room.
Yang Huaijin knew that Feng Zhi had indirectly agreed to his request.
