Zhou Mushi glanced at the wall clock. An hour and a quarter had passed since the ceremony began.
In the center of the crowd in the hall, the newly appointed Secretary-General surrounded by a flock of people walked towards him. His facial features appear very gentle. Under the influence of the medal on his chest, his face looks even more dignified with status. “Director Zhou.”
“Secretary-General Cheng, congratulations.”
Cheng Huanqing shook his head. “It’s all the joint efforts of everyone, so the honor belongs to everyone.”
Zhou Mushi was not in the mood to have an officious conversation with him at this moment, and was about to leave with a few perfunctory words when he heard the other party say, “Mr. Zhou, is what you said in the elevator just now count?”
What?
Zhou Mushi couldn’t recall no matter what after a while, probably because the confusion in his eyes was too obvious. Cheng Huanqing’s expression froze for a moment, however, he quickly adjusted. “You will not forget the dinner after the election, right?”
“I don’t seem to agree.”
“Then it’s not too late to agree now.”
Zhou Mushi touched his glove. He felt impatient with the pressing attitude of the other party, so he just bluntly refused. “No, someone is waiting at home.”
“Is that so? What a pity.”
Cheng Huanqing unexpectedly didn’t push it anymore, but Zhou Mushi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party’s meaningful tone.
Like being pricked by a needle.
He lowered his eyes and said goodbye in a perfunctory manner, turned around, and walked out, not seeing the eyes of the man behind him, who was determined to win.

He Yu should have left work fifteen minutes ago. Where is the assistant’s report?
He calmly sent a communication command to the other party’s communicator, but it was only throwing stones and seeing it sink without a trace in the sea. No one answered.
“Check He Yu’s location.”
The secretary operated her communicator for a while and replied. “Both of them are still in the Central Building.”
Haven’t gotten off from work yet?
“Do you want to go to the Central Building to have a look?”
“No,” Zhou Mushi said. “Let’s go back first.”
When he came out of the elevator and opened the door, Zhou Mushi’s movements paused.
Water penetrated his thin silk glove, and it spread to his palm.
There are water stains on the door handle.
He unobtrusively frowned, touched the alarm button of the communicator with one hand, and walked in.
Turning on the light in the living room, not a soul was in sight, but there was light coming from the direction of the dining area.
He subconsciously felt this scene was a little familiar. Zhou Mushi confirmed that the security system at home had not been destroyed and walked toward the dining area.
Before seeing the man’s figure, the strong aroma of coffee penetrated his nostrils first.
The dining room was very quiet. There was a silver briefcase on the dining table. He Yu was standing in front of the counter with his back facing him, fiddling with the coffee machine in front of him. Amid the buzzing sound of operation, the dark brown liquid slowly flowed out down to the mouth of the pot.
He turned around and said to Zhou Mushi, “Good evening. Would you like some coffee?”
Zhou Mushi put his hands down from the communicator, stood still, and frowned. “Why are you here?”
His location shows that he’s obviously in the Central Building.
When He Yu heard this, a smile slowly appeared on his face. “Shouldn’t I be here?”
Could it be that he was about to leave at that time? So he returned home before him.
When Zhou Mushi looked at the man in front of him, the other’s expression was natural and impeccable, and yet it seemed to be only a strange illusion.
He noticed that He Yu’s hair was wet and thought of the water stains on the doorknob, and asked, “You just came back?”
“Yeah,” He Yu approached him step by step with a cup in his hand. “It’s cold outside, and it’s also raining heavily.”
Zhou Mushi smelled the wet smell of pheromone mixed with water vapor on the other’s body, and subconsciously took half a step back.
The lights in the dining room seemed to be imperceptibly dimmed and the alpha who stood in front of him seemed to carry a presence of natural pressure. He raised his head and saw the tip of He Yu’s lips curl warmly. “Have some coffee. It’s hot.”
Zhou Mushi subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
However, before he could react, his body already took the cup and took a sip of the liquid in it.
It seems to be a natural action controlled by instinct. Before his brain could refuse, his body had faithfully accepted.
While the bitter taste spread from the tip of his tongue, a sense of crisis suddenly rushed into his heart, stinging his peripheral nerves.
The coffee mug fell to the floor, splitting up and all in pieces.
Zhou Mushi immediately pressed his hand to the communicator on his wrist but was firmly intercepted by a hand. His hand was squeezed by the other man’s palm.
His vision began to become hazy. His body gradually softened and his consciousness was slipping little by little uncontrollably, and he fell into the arms of the person in front of him involuntarily.
Zhou Mushi’s hand holding He Yu’s tie couldn’t help slipping down. He grabbed the other’s neck while struggling futilely, and his other hand tightly grasped the other man’s upper arm, but found that the palm of his hand was wet and sticky.
There was a dazzling red bloodstain slowly seeping out under the alpha’s shirt.
Zhou Mushi’s chin was squeezed and lifted. In his blurred vision, he could only see a pair of eyes of the person in front of him clearly.
Stripped of loyalty and warmth, all that remains is the bottomless gloom.
Like an awakened snake, it spits out a dangerous poison.
The alpha’s voice rang low in his ear, seemingly gnashing his teeth.
“Zhou Mushi, do you hate me so much that you want me dead?”
He moved his lips, but before he could utter a word, he completely lost consciousness.
The author:
The exciting part has finally come.
I’m sorry this chapter was delayed! I didn’t mean to keep you all in suspense!! I promise to reveal the truth in the next chapter!! (Actually, there are a lot of hints given ahead of time, and some people in the comments have almost guessed it. After all, it is not a brain-burning story. It will not be complicated since the author’s IQ is not that high.)
