At Fisherman’s Wharf, fishing boats and cargo ships were docked at the shore. It was the fishing ban period and fishing boats could not go out to sea. Only cargo ships were sailing on the sea, and among them was a conspicuous and gorgeous white cruise ship that was a striking presence catching attention on the sea.
They were standing right in front of the cruise ship.
“Alone?”
”Do you see anyone behind me?”
Chu Yi Qiao stood in front of his White Moonlight, looking at the man in front of him wearing a fisherman’s hat and a mask. As soon as he approached, he knew it was an Alpha. The offensive pheromone smell on his body made him feel pungent, but it was not difficult to approach, after all, he had been completely marked by Luo Qing Ye.
There was Alpha’s pheromone protecting him.
The sense of security was full.
”Give me the keys to the ship.” Bai Chuan held the USB stick in one hand and reached out to Chu Yi Qiao with the other, the pair of eyes that were exposed carried a wary look: “Don’t play tricks on me, I can turn these videos into viruses to invade all electronic devices in a second.”
Chu Yi Qiao’s face was indifferent: “Key? I don’t need to start the ship.”
Bai Chuan immediately had a feeling of being choked, these rich people really are: “Heh, cut the crap, let me go now if you want to get the videos back.”
“Only my people can sail out of the port. The captain is on board. He will take you out. You can go up.” Chu Yi Qiao smiled and raised his hand.
Bai Chuan took back the USB flash drive in his hand. He took out his mobile phone and held it in front of Chu Yi Qiao, with a bit of strangeness and suspicion in his eyes: “Don’t play tricks on me. As long as my USB flash drive is inserted into the mobile phone, these videos will be sent to every electronic device immediately!!”
Chu Yi Qiao’s eyes fell on Bai Chuan’s hand and he caught sight of the trembling hand. He couldn’t help but chuckled: “Are you anxious? Then why didn’t you come to me earlier? You think you don’t need to worry because your interests have not been affected? I heard that Jiang Mian Huai abandoned you and ran away? Now you’re threatening me with this because you’re desperate?”
“Don’t lump him with me!” Bai Chuan suddenly raised his voice: “I’m not like him, stupid and crazy, with a father who can cover the sky with one hand behind me. I have nothing, and I just want to live now. I know you care about Luo Qing Ye, otherwise you wouldn’t come to me. So I can assure you that all the videos are in here. I am responsible for the entire Caesar’s Palace security system and surveillance. As long as you can send me away safely, I will give it to you. There will be things you want in it, including Jiang Mian Huai’s.”
Chu Yi Qiao felt that it was indeed something that could be exchanged, it’s just that his waist is really sore standing here: “Why don’t we go upstairs and talk?”
Bai Chuan’s eyes revealed a bit of weirdness, as if he felt that Chu Yi Qiao was playing tricks on him, but now he had nothing else except Jiang Mian Huai’s handle to give to Chu Yi Qiao as a bargaining chip. He must not get caught. He must not take the blame for the dirty things Jiang Mian Huai had thrown at him.
“Just chat here, I said I won’t lie to you, I will definitely not lie to you, I’m not the same as Jiang Mian Huai.”
Chu Yi Qiao looked around and saw nothing to lean on. He should have asked someone to lower the stairs first, so that he could sit there for a while, but he had no time and could only choose to give up. Business was more important. He stretched out his hand to Bai Chuan: “Then give me the video, and then you get on board.”
Bai Chuan saw that Chu Yi Qiao was so straightforward and felt something was wrong. He stepped back vigilantly: “Will you really let me go?”
“The ship is already prepared for you.”
Bai Chuan still felt not quite right: “Why are you so straightforward?”
“Because I don’t want these videos to embarrass me.” Chu Yi Qiao said.
“But I don’t trust you, how can you assure me that you can safely let me go, now those police are chasing me.”
Chu Yi Qiao thought to himself, as expected, how could someone who can be in the same group with Jiang Mian Huai be so smart? Then he took the opportunity to delay time: “Then you also give me a chance to believe you. You also know what Jiang Mian Huai has done. Now he has abandoned his accomplices and ran away, you for example.”
Bai Chuan was obviously a little agitated when he heard this: “He was the one who sold drugs. He got the “tattoo stickers” drug from Myanmar. He said that if I developed downlines, he would split the profits with me 50-50, but I didn’t expect those downlines to insist that it was me! It was obviously him who did it!”
Chu Yi Qiao nodded: “Including the driver who caused the accident also said it was you, and the one the police will arrest is you, so it looks like the evidence against you is overwhelming now.”
He really needed more clues about Jiang Mian Huai. No matter how good this man was at running, he definitely can’t escape.
Perhaps this sentence stimulated Bai Chuan.
Who knew that Bai Chuan took out a pistol from his waist, and he pointed it at Chu Yi Qiao, his emotions were obviously a bit agitated: “I can tell you everything Jiang Mian Huai did in Caesar’s Palace. As long as you can take me away safely, I can help you get Jiang Mian Huai. Quick! I want to leave now! Let the captain drive the boat and take me away from the harbour immediately! Otherwise, I will shoot you!”
Chu Yi Qiao was stunned for a second. He didn’t expect that Bai Chuan could actually get a pistol. He was really crazy. He didn’t move, after all, this man had a pistol. Even if he didn’t know if it really had bullets, he couldn’t let anything happen to him.
“This is a real pistol I have here, and the bullets are all full.” Bai Chuan pulled the trigger.
Like a warning.
He stared at Bai Chuan and felt the disgusting Alpha scent coming towards him. The overwhelming pheromone smell rushed into his nose very clearly. It was an unbearable smell for him, repulsive, resisting, and his body filled with revulsion.
His face went furiously white.
He could smell it.
This time he was actually able to smell it.
It wasn’t an illusion.
It was like a scent box was suddenly opened. He could smell the salty smell of the seawater, the sour coke1焦炭 (jiāo tàn): not the drink but it’s a type of fuel.-smelling pheromones on Bai Chuan’s body, and the Alpha pheromones of oolong osmanthus honey surrounding him.
Suddenly, he saw the door of the cruise ship on the shore slowly open. Bai Chuan had his back to the ship, while he was facing it. He could clearly see the silent escalator descending quickly, and an overly strong Alpha pheromone with a crushing aura rushed towards him, and then a tall black figure appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
Chu Yi Qiao was stunned when he saw who it was.
Very good, Yuan Nian, you can start your vacation.
Luo Qing Ye, wearing loose black sportswear, was standing on the stairs of the cruise ship. His expression was sullen and his eyes were gloomy. His crew cut made him look particularly fierce. His frowning eyebrows also showed a bit of violence. The low pressure around him was mixed with the terrifying and strong Alpha pheromones.
Luo Qing Ye saw the door open and quickly moved forward. He supported himself with one hand on the handrail of the stairs and jumped on and slid down. His movements were neat and swift.
He jumped down before landing and ruthlessly kicked Bai Chuan’s arm. The moment the pistol fell to the ground, he kicked the pistol into the sea. Then he bent down to pick up the USB drive that had fallen out and threw it to Chu Yi Qiao. Next, he stepped forward and pressed the back of Bai Chuan’s knee with his knee. There was only a crisp sound of kneeling, and he forced the person to kneel well.
All the actions were done in one go.
By the time Bai Chuan realised something was wrong behind him, he had already been suppressed.
“Just you, are worthy of touching him?” Luo Qing Ye leaned over Bai Chuan and lowered his voice with a warning: “Is my Omega something you can touch? You are looking for death.”
The moment Luo Qing Ye appeared, the police hidden behind the warehouse also came out immediately, and Bai Chuan was completely suppressed in less than a minute.
With a cold ‘click’ sound, handcuffs fell on Bai Chuan’s wrists, no matter how much he struggled, it was useless.
The mask on his face was also removed, revealing a face that was unimpressive if it was placed in a sea of people.
“Chu Yi Qiao, you lied to me!!!!” Bai Chuan saw that he couldn’t escape and cursed at Chu Yi Qiao, his appearance was as embarrassing as it could be.
Luo Qing Ye stood up and stood in front of Chu Yi Qiao, looking at Bai Chuan expressionlessly, his eyes were calm as if the man in front of him was an ant that could be crushed at will: “Bai Chuan, you are still too stupid.”
Bai Chuan was stunned for a while when he saw Luo Qing Ye in front of him, and then he heard who was in front of him by the voice, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes, it was clear that he had not seen this Alpha for more than half a year, but he had grown so fast.
He struggled hard but was held tightly by the police. He couldn’t break free and could only glare at Luo Qing Ye fiercely: “It seems that Chu Yi Qiao has taken good care of you. Half a year without seeing you and you’re able to raise yourself so well.”
Luo Qing Ye didn’t care about Bai Chuan’s weirdness at all: “I have to thank you for sending me to him.”
“Do you think I really put the original video in there? Impossible, I still have a lot of backups, all your embarrassment and ugliness are in them, do you think you can escape if you catch me?”
“Escape? Why should I escape? What did I do that I need to escape?” Luo Qing Ye said: “You escape because you are guilty. What you did to me back then is enough for you to spend your whole life in prison. Caesar’s Palace, yhsq2淫秽色情 (yín huì sè qíng): obscene p*rnography., drug trafficking, human trafficking, which one can’t make you spend your whole life in prison. You dare to touch my Omega, do you really think I am still the Luo Qing Ye you controlled back then? Go to prison and dream.”
“Take him away!” The police took him away without the slightest hesitation.
The captain of the anti-narcotics team saluted Luo Qing Ye: “Thank you comrade for your cooperation.”
Luo Qing Ye nodded: “You’re welcome.”
Until Bai Chuan’s cursing voice disappeared in the car exhaust, the incident happened too smoothly. Although he had expected to capture Bai Chuan, he didn’t expect Luo Qing Ye to be involved.
Chu Yi Qiao came back to his senses and looked at Luo Qing Ye in front of him. He was about to say something but stopped: “You……”
Bai Chuan’s incident ended faster than he thought. He originally thought that he could personally deal with Bai Chuan who bullied the little alpha, but he didn’t expect that Luo Qing Ye would solve it himself and save him incidentally.
Luo Qing Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Yi Qiao, whose complexion was obviously not very good. His eyes were filled with anger that had not yet dissipated, making him look particularly fierce, but he was reluctant to speak too fiercely: “Chu Yi Qiao, do you really have me in your heart? You did such a dangerous thing without telling me, do you even have your Alpha in your eyes?”
Chu Yi Qiao did not expect Luo Qing Ye to react so strongly. Just when he wanted to smile and coax him, Luo Qing Ye scolded him:
“Don’t smile at me!” Luo Qing Ye pointed at him sternly: “Smiling is useless to me, put away your tricks!”
Chu Yi Qiao whispered: “No big or small3没大没小 (méi dà méi xiǎo): show no respect for one’s elders., so fierce.” But he did something wrong.
“And you’re disrespecting my efforts last night, you only slept for what, three hours? And you got up? Doesn’t your waist hurt?”
Chu Yi Qiao: “……Cough.”
Luo Qing Ye couldn’t help but frown when he heard Chu Yi Qiao cough. The wind was strong at the seaside and he was worried that Chu Yi Qiao would catch a cold. He put his arm around his shoulders and half-hugged him into his arms: “Forget it, let’s get on the ship first.”
No matter how much he scolded, he still had to pamper his Omega.
Chu Yi Qiao paused suddenly. He suddenly remembered that he had asked Yuan Nian to prepare a candlelight lunch on the ship today.
“Wait.” A hand pulled Luo Qing Ye’s hand: “That, I……”
“I’ve seen it all.” Luo Qing Ye heard the tentativeness in Chu Yi Qiao’s tone, and he replied directly: “It’s okay, I can pretend I didn’t see it.”
Chu Yi Qiao looked at Luo Qing Ye in silence.
Seeing that no one moved, Luo Qing Ye glanced over and happened to meet Chu Yi Qiao’s speechless eyes. He rarely saw the man in such a speechless state. He raised his hand and pinched Chu Yi Qiao’s face: “What are you looking at me for? You fought alone and didn’t tell your man and you are even angry with me? I haven’t said anything to you yet. You can get up so early after finishing and you don’t respect my efforts at all.”
“How unromantic.” Chu Yi Qiao sighed slightly, he shook off Luo Qing Ye’s hand and walked onto the ship.
This Alpha seemed to have really grown up and was able to stand on his own.
It’s just that he lacks romance.
Luo Qing Ye looked at Chu Yi Qiao’s back as he walked ahead, with a subtle expression. So was he disliked by Chu Yi Qiao? He was told that he was unromantic? He hadn’t settled accounts with this man about accompanying him for lunch at noon.
Due to the rush of time and the lack of sufficient preparations, when Chu Yi Qiao boarded the ship, he found that the layout seemed to be not much different from when he came to the White Moonlight before.
However, Yuan Nian went to deal with Bai Chuan’s affairs and he could not ask, so he could only give up.
Sunlight fell on the sea, the clear blue sky and the sea level seemed to be connected in a line, the damp sea breeze and the sound of the waves blew by the ears, and the White Moonlight slowly sailed towards the centre of the sea, as if temporarily escaping from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Stepping onto the deck, Luo Qing Ye’s eyes fell on the back of Chu Yi Qiao who walked a few steps ahead of him.
The sea breeze outlined Chu Yi Qiao’s waist in a thin shirt. He looked at Chu Yi Qiao who seemed to be thinner than half a year ago, and naturally knew what Chu Yi Qiao had been busy with in the past six months.
In the past six months, he had told the police everything in Caesar’s Palace, including the recording he made when he went back to Caesar’s Palace. He believed that it would be strong evidence for arresting Jiang Mian Huai.
Because Jiang Mian Huai was not charged with only one crime, this person is not amnesty, stained with too many things. For a while, even the police will need a long time to sort out the eighteen year long case.
And in these eighteen years, too many things about Jiang Mian Huai were hidden, and the person behind him could not escape this time.
“Are you cold?”
As soon as Chu Yi Qiao put his hand on the railing, he felt Luo Qing Ye hugging him from behind, and he leaned back: “It’s not cold, but my waist hurts.”
The chest behind him was broad and warm, he was already an Alpha that could be relied on.
Luo Qing Ye put his arms around Chu Yi Qiao’s shoulders, letting him focus on himself, and then rested his chin on his shoulder, his eyes on the sea: “Don’t do this again in the future, okay? I have grown up according to your requirements, and you should also trust that the Alpha you have cultivated is a strong Alpha, worthy of your trust, and can share your burden. If Bai Chuan really made a move on you just now, I might go crazy.”
An Alpha’s desire to protect Omega is more important than his own life.
This man was the same to him.
“I know, I’m just so used to it that I didn’t think for a moment that I should bring you along.” As soon as Chu Yi Qiao finished speaking, he felt a hand on his lower back, rubbing him through the thin shirt.
“Is it sore?” Luo Qing Ye thought of Chu Yi Qiao’s soft eyes last night: “You can’t blame me, blame you for pestering me last night.”
Chu Yi Qiao turned his head to look at Luo Qing Ye, and his cheek brushed Luo Qing Ye’s lips inadvertently.
The moment they met eyes, the two of them stuck close and kissed.
“You have to forgive an Omega who has been single for 28 years. They say that men are as fierce as tigers at 30. Please understand.” Chu Yi Qiao left Luo Qing Ye’s lips and smiled at him: “Eat more, save your energy, and don’t casually say rest.”
Luo Qing Ye turned him around to face him, put his arms around Chu Yi Qiao’s waist and held him in his arms. With a hint of punishment, he lowered his head and approached Chu Yi Qiao, his voice hoarse: “Ge, do you think I’m not good enough?”
Although Chu Yi Qiao has not yet reached the estrus period and does not need to ask for seven days, they are highly compatible AOs and can ask for pheromones from their partners whenever they want.
Chu Yi Qiao met Luo Qing Ye’s gaze, put his hand on Luo Qing Ye’s cheek, and the two foreheads touched: “No, how can you not, I like it. So don’t be angry okay, I will pay attention next time.”
The man’s overly gentle and doting tone made Luo Qing Ye feel a little more crisis. This sense of crisis made him feel that he was not gentle enough. Why was his Omega so gentle to him while he seemed a little fierce to Chu Yi Qiao?
Thinking of what Chu Yi Qiao said just now that he had no sentimentality, is he really that unromantic?
Just when he was seriously reflecting, he was interrupted by Chu Yi Qiao’s sneeze, and subconsciously pinched Chu Yi Qiao’s nose: “Pinch it so that it won’t hurt4捏捏不酸 (niē niē bù suān): this is the actual phrase, directly translates to ‘pinch pinch no sour/sore’[/mnf], let’s go in, the sea breeze is a bit cold.”
Chu Yi Qiao was stunned, and he looked at Luo Qing Ye with a bit of astonishment in his eyes.
Luo Qing Ye was a little confused when he saw Chu Yi Qiao suddenly staring at him like this: “What’s wrong?”
“You……pinch my nose after I sneezed.” Chu Yi Qiao said, this action reminded him of when he was a child, when he was often sick and caught a cold because of poor health, and often sneezed, and every time he sneezed, his mother would pinch his nose.
—Mummy gave Qiao Qiao a pinch, after sneezing, pinch it so that it won’t hurt.
Why would Luo Qing Ye also know to pinch it so that it won’t hurt?
Luo Qing Ye suddenly realised his little action: “I’m used to it. Does it hurt when I pinch you?”
“It doesn’t hurt.” Chu Yi Qiao said thoughtfully, he was overthinking it, it should just be a coincidence.
How could Luo Qing Ye have anything to do with his mother, when he was 10 years old, Luo Qing Ye hadn’t appeared in this world.
