Fu Sheng: “So you killed your nephew and sister-in-law.”
Fang Gaomin instinctively denied it. “Fang Ji divorced her!”
Fu Sheng: “Who else was involved?”
Fang Gaomin hesitated and reluctantly pointed out Hei Xingwen and a few others, including Fu Jiajing!
Fu Jiaiing: “I was just there for business negotiations.”
Fu Sheng: “So you stood by and did nothing to save them.”
Fu Jiajing nodded silently.
Fu Sheng fell silent for a moment before speaking again. “Indirectly causing the death of two people through smuggling, refusing to save lives, and causing the deaths of two innocent people. Why are you still alive?”
Fu Jiajing’s eyes turned red as she anxiously explained and pleaded with Fu Sheng not to abandon her. She was his cousin, and family ties are strong. Even if they break a bone, the tendons are still connected. She begged him not to abandon her, and besides, she didn’t actually cause anyone’s death, she just didn’t save them.
Fang Gaomin and Hei Xingwen, among others, also pleaded in hushed voices, saying that they didn’t mean it. Moreover, the people were already dead, so what’s the point of investigating now? Additionally, the bar also had Fu Sheng’s shares, and there were traces of the Fu family in the raw jade material incident. If he didn’t handle it, the Fu family would also be implicated.
As they spoke, it was akin to a threat.
Fu Sheng sneered coldly. “Report to the police and let them investigate. I’ll cooperate. Fu Jiajing, shut up. If you weren’t part of the Fu family, I would have kicked you out long ago to avoid embarrassment!”
Fang Gaomin and the others were furious and panicked when they realised that Fu Sheng truly had no intention of dealing with them. They were even ordered to be escorted out of the Fu family residence. However, their anger and panic proved futile.
Fang Gaomin and his group were driven away, and soon the Fu family residence became quiet. Patriarch Fu remained calm and composed. “Fu Sheng, kneel.”
Without a word, Fu Sheng immediately knelt down, which frightened the mother of Fu Jiajing, who was still causing a scene. The two of them trembled and dared not make a sound. Fu Jiajing’s mother also knelt down, following Fu Patriarch’s command.
Fu Jiajing: “Grand… Grandfather…”
Patriarch Fu ignored her. His indifference was more unsettling than scolding or punishment. It was as if he had given up on her and would no longer care. The fear caused Fu Jiajing, who was already in her thirties, to remain silent like a quail.
Fu Patriarch stood up and said, “I’ve said it before, don’t be stubborn and learn to be tolerant and humble. But you never listen. I didn’t expect your ‘friends’ to plot and frame you as well. I gave you shares, brought you into the business, and you didn’t even bother to spend some time investigating. Stay on your knees until you learn humility and tolerance, and then you may rise.”
Fu Sheng remained kneeling straight, without resentment. Indeed, he had underestimated Fang Gaomin and the others, thinking they were not worth worrying about.
Neither he nor Fu Jiajing had participated in the killings. Once the police investigation was over, they would naturally be cleared. However, it would still have an impact on the public opinion of the Fu family and his own career. Everything he had painstakingly built would need to be disrupted and rebuilt, which would be quite troublesome.
***
While the Fang and He families were being investigated, the Fu family acted discreetly. The former two families were exposed for their involvement in smuggling and other illegal activities, causing public outrage. The Fu family, on the other hand, suffered a devastating defeat and scrambled around in a state of panic. They were like ants on a hot pan, dishevelled and far from their former glory.
But that wasn’t enough. He Yuan, as he browsed through online news and learned about the Fang and He families, watched them in their sorry state and felt it wasn’t sufficient. His methods were deliberate and unhurried, and he wanted to thoroughly condemn them to a never-ending abyss before finding solace.
Fang Gaomin had approached Fu Sheng several times, even going to the Huashang Apartments to confront him. He swallowed his pride and pleaded with He Yuan, only to be ridiculed. In the end, in a desperate move, he went to seek help from He Beijia. However, He Beijia claimed that Fang Gaomin didn’t have enough weight to be considered and rejected his plea. Fang Gaomin gritted his teeth and, with his eyes red from desperation, begged his for assistance.
He Bei Jia: “How can I help?”
He Beijia shrugged indifferently. “It’s up to you.”
As Fang Gaomin left, He Beijia clenched his fist, a hint of excitement in his expression.
Within two days, while still on set, He Beijia received a message from the Fu family. After reading the text, he set off with a spring in his step.
On the other hand, He Yuan, who was in the middle of a class, suddenly received a message from the Fu family with a few simple words: “Fu Sheng is in danger, come to the old residence immediately.”
He Yuan was puzzled about what danger Fu Sheng could be in. At first, he didn’t plan to pay attention, but then the Patriarch Fu personally invited him to the old residence. His heart tightened with worry, fearing that Fu Sheng was truly in trouble. So he took leave and hurried to the Fu family’s old residence.
Upon arriving at the old residence, he found heavy security and a tense atmosphere. His worry grew, afraid that something serious had happened to Fu Sheng. He couldn’t spare time for greetings and anxiously asked the Patriarch Fu, “What happened to Fu Sheng? Where is he?”
Patriarch Fu looked up. “He Yuan, Fu Sheng is critically ill. Will you save him or not?”
He Yuan furrowed his brow, feeling agitated. “Of course, I will save him.”
Patriarch Fu said, “Fu Sheng was attacked and his pheromones prematurely erupted. Due to excessive suppressants used in the past, he can no longer control it. If it’s not relieved, he will suffer from Irreversible Pheromone Imbalance Syndrome, a condition that is incurable.”
He Yuan’s expression gradually turned cold. “So what?”
Patriarch Fu continued, “Fu Sheng is locked upstairs, and only He Beijia can save him.”
He Yuan almost sneered. “Then why bother asking me?”
Grandmother Fu spoke up, “Fu Sheng resists being close to He Beijia. He wants to see you. I hope you can persuade Fu Sheng to accept He Beijia.”
He Yuan looked at Grandmother Fu and, behind her, He Beijia, who was waiting quietly. “You want me to go beg my husband to get an O?”
Patriarch Fu said, “There is no other way to save Fu Sheng. He Yuan, you should know what an alpha with pheromone imbalance looks like. Can you bear to see Fu Sheng become like that?”
An alpha with pheromone imbalance is neither human nor ghost, and without exception, they ultimately self-mutilate and die, suffering immense torment before meeting a pitiful end.
He Yuan fell silent. He began to inexplicably recall his brother’s alpha, who had also suffered torment during the rut and had experienced the painful self-mutilation caused by pheromone imbalance. He stared at the Fu family members, at He Beijia, and then lifted his gaze to Fu Sheng, who was imprisoned upstairs. He couldn’t see Fu Sheng, but it was as if he could see him.
The surroundings started to distort. The walls twisted, and the faces that tried to convince him twisted as well, forming vortex-like distortions. The abnormal distortions were frightening, and deep within the distortion was a hopeless darkness. The darkness was filled with flames and agonising screams, grabbing him, restraining him, tightly binding him to the so-called AO pheromone and the supposedly ordinary pillar of fate belonging to B.
He Yuan’s heart trembled, surrounded by swirling darkness. He was guided upstairs by the Fu family, with He Beijia by his side, ready to accept the gift of fate.
They arrived in a sealed room and used an intercom to call Fu Sheng who was being dominated by his beastly nature, who was on the verge of losing control. He Yuan silently stared at the Fu Sheng on the monitor, the elegant and strong Fu Sheng who had finally become a beast controlled by desire. One day, he would grow tired of his past with betas and revolve around the fragile O, offering the entire world with utmost care, cruelly poisoning his former lover in order to please the unhappy O.
Fu Sheng would become that kind of person.
He was in the process of becoming that kind of person.
Unconsciously, He Yuan stepped back, and the Fu Sheng on the monitor, who still retained a trace of reason, was momentarily startled, thinking that he had seen wrong. He Yuan couldn’t be afraid of him. He Yuan should be concerned for him.
“He Yuan…” Fu Sheng gasped for breath, calling out his wife’s name. The surging pheromones held him captive in a fiery torment. He needed He Yuan, craving his body, longing for the soothing of his pheromones. Only He Yuan, as long as it was He Yuan.
“He Yuan, come in.”
Fu Jiaqi was frightened by Fu Sheng’s condition and trembled with fear at the overwhelming pheromones. “Cousin, He Beijia is here. He can save you.”
He Beijia stepped forward, cheeks flushed, long eyelashes trembling. Unable to control himself, his sweet pheromones overflowed, timidly entwining with Fu Sheng’s pheromones. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
“Fu Sheng…”
Fu Sheng was momentarily stunned, regaining a trace of consciousness as he stared fixedly at He Yuan behind him. “Want… He Yuan.”
Fu Jiaqi: “Brother, He Yuan said he agrees to you and He Beijia.”
Fu Sheng’s mind was like a muddy mess, and it took him a long time to understand the meaning behind Fu Jiaqi’s words. He slowly shook his head in denial and glared fiercely at him. “How dare you threaten him!”
Fu Jiaqi swallowed nervously. “Brother, I’ll let He Yuan speak for himself. Brother, there’s a button here. If pressed, it will release an anaesthetic gas to temporarily restrict your movements. Let He Yuan make the choice. If he presses it, the person who enters will be He Beijia. If he refuses, we won’t force you.”
Fu Sheng forcefully shook his head and indifferently snapped his own thumb to stay alert. Hearing this, he found it laughable. He Yuan didn’t even allow him to use He Beijia’s pheromones to get through the rut period. How could he allow He Beijia to have a real physical relationship with him?
He Yuan was a gentle person, but unwavering when it came to principles.
He was He Yuan’s principle, and He Yuan wouldn’t abandon him.
He Yuan loved him so much, to the point of getting jealous and angry even when he was alone with an O. He had repeatedly assured him that he wouldn’t see He Beijia again, yet He Yuan was still unhappy and had thrown a tantrum.
How could He Yuan, who loved him so much, possibly hand him over to someone else?
Fu Sheng sneered, giving a sarcastic glance. In the next moment, his pupils contracted. He watched as He Yuan stepped forward and reached out towards the button–
“He Yuan?”
He Yuan remained silent, never once looking at Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng couldn’t believe it. “He Yuan, you can’t do this to me.”
He Yuan paused for a moment, then accurately and decisively pressed the red button. The sealed room began to release an anaesthetic gas.
“…”
With a loud bang, a clear protrusion appeared on the large door made of special metal materials, startling He Yuan. Reflexively, he looked up and met Fu Sheng’s cold and hateful eyes.
The author has something to say:
There’s a mistake in the last chapter. Xiao Yuan possesses glass-type jade, not Hetian jade. Hetian jade doesn’t have a glass-type variety. I won’t make the correction for now since my mind is a bit muddled.
I’ll make the necessary changes and adjustments once the plot progresses further.
Gong is a dictatorial and self-possessed person!
He does not treat He Beijia seriously at all, so he can’t understand He Yuan’s resistance.
Old gong Fu hasn’t discovered He Yuan’s secret yet ~
And He Yuan has a psychological shadow on handling of an A’s rut period and shows excessive decisiveness.
The Fang family’s couple is also very bloody, but BE.
