The family doctor was a young male beta named Liang Shu. His entire family served the Wei family, and after his father's early retirement, it was his turn to be at Wei Mingjue's disposal. He stood by the bed, medical kit in hand, and examined Zou Yuqing's condition. Then, with a slight frown, he lifted the blanket to take a closer look.

However, a gaze from the side made it difficult for him to perform his medical skills. He looked at Wei Mingjue helplessly, "Brother, can you stop staring at me like that? Otherwise, you can go out first. I'll call you in when I'm done. I saw that you were in trouble just now." Anyone would be nervous if they were stared at like this.

"I'm right here, you'd better hurry up." Wei Mingjue smiled, which was very scary in Liang Shu's eyes.

Since Wei Mingjue was unwilling to leave, Liang Shu had to try his best to ignore that gaze. He took a deep breath and gently tore off the blood-stained inhibition patch on Zou Yuqing's gland.

"You bit him, didn't you? He's an Alpha, he can't handle a bite like that, okay?" Liang Shu gasped as he looked at the horrific gland. "Don't let him use the inhibitor patch recently. It will get inflamed if he keeps it on. The wound is too deep and will probably take a week to heal."

Liang Shu had thought the glands were in poor condition, but when he saw Zou Yuqing's body covered in scars, he couldn't bear to watch any longer. Even an Omega wouldn't be in such a miserable state, and for an Alpha to be treated so cruelly and to have bloodshot eyes was unbelievable, one could only imagine how much pain it must be.

Liang Shu carefully used tweezers to pick up the cleaning cotton balls and wiped every injured area. Every wipe would cause Zou Yuqing to scream unconsciously in pain in his dream. Liang Shu could only move more gently until he finished everything and finally gave Zou Yuqing a nutrient solution.

After dealing with the problem, he was completely silent, and Wei Mingjue did not speak either, his eyes lingering on the Alpha on the bed who was frowning in his sleep.

"Ming Jue, what's going on? You wouldn't have been so extreme before. You can see he's in a very bad condition. If he weren't an Alpha, he'd probably be hospitalized by now, and your reputation would be greatly affected."

It's not like Wei Mingjue hasn't done this kind of thing before. He's also treated several of Wei Mingjue's former Alpha bedmates, but none of them was as unbearable as this one. "What on earth happened?"

"It's nothing. You go first and help me look after Wei Mingyu." Wei Mingjue had no intention of telling Liang Shu the ins and outs of the matter. After he finished speaking, he stood beside Zou Yuqing's bed and just looked at the Alpha on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liang Shu sighed lightly and turned to walk out of the manager's office, thinking to himself, you two brothers from the Wei family are here to torment me and take my life.

The door closed, and Wei Mingjue still looked straight at Zou Yuqing with his head lowered. Zou Yuqing's brows were still furrowed. He reached out his hand expressionlessly and pressed the space between his brows until the beautiful brows relaxed before he lowered his hand.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He obviously shouldn't treat the murderer who made Wei Mingyu pregnant like this. But after seeing the stubborn eyes and unyielding expression, he became excited, just like a hunter who saw the most perfect prey and waited for an opportunity to strike.

After learning the truth, he thought, he had one more prey. Zou Yuqing and Zou Yuyang were both his prey, but his hunting methods were different. He wanted to bite Zou Yuyang to death, but as for Zou Yuqing, he wanted him to remain submissive.

Zou Yuqing was his prey, the target he wanted to conquer and possess.

Alpha's body was strong after all. After being unconscious for two hours, Zou Yuqing finally opened his eyes. The unfamiliar surroundings left him somewhat bewildered. Seeing the IV drip hanging from his hand, his bewilderment was compounded by a touch of confusion.

He remembered that he was trying to hold back his physical discomfort while sorting the goods, but he eventually collapsed. After falling, he vaguely remembered the store manager asking, "Are you Xiao Zou's friend?", and then he lost consciousness.

A friend? Zou Yuqing pursed his lips. He had very few friends, and none of them lived nearby, so it was impossible for them to come. But then he thought about it and realized there was indeed a friend who would be free during the summer vacation and come to see him. He was still thinking when the door opened.

"Xu Wang...?" Thinking about it, the only person he could think of was his college roommate and good friend Xu Wang. Just as he was about to say it, Zou Yuqing realized that the person standing in front of him was the man who had raped him last night. The man was looking at him with a half-smile, and his thin lips parted slightly, "Xu Wang? Are you dating?"

The moment he saw that face, Zou Yuqing couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was a conditioned reflex. Last night's experience had left a deep shadow on him, so much so that the sight of Wei Mingjue made his body ache. But he still gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Mingjue, like a stubborn little beast. "Why...are you here?"

Wei Mingjue raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Why can't I be here? This is the lounge in my office. Have you forgotten that you fainted in the supermarket and fell on my lap? I was the one who brought you here."

"So why did you bring me here? Why did you come looking for me? I told you, I'm not Zou Yuyang, I'm not Zou Yuyang!" Zou Yuqing's emotions began to fray again, his eyes wide open in anger, still trembling after he finished yelling. He didn't want to, but for the Alpha, what happened yesterday was too terrifying.

Wei Mingjue approached Zou Yuqing with his lips curled. He looked at Zou Yuqing with satisfaction as he looked at him even though he was trembling. He nudged the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue. "Yes, I know you're not Zou Yuyang. That's your brother, right? Why would you do this for your brother?"

"I said yesterday that I am not Zou Yuyang, and I did not do anything to your brother, but you, Wei Mingjue, you didn't believe it, and..." Zou Yuqing clenched his fists. He wanted to punch him, but he knew that the consequences might be even worse if he did so. He couldn't afford to offend Wei Mingjue.

All his anguish and pain could only be chewed and swallowed, no one knew what was happening, and no one felt sorry for Alpha. It was too bitter and too unbearable. His life had never gotten better, and it never would.

Zou Yuqing pulled out the needle with a string of small blood beads. Maybe the back of his hand would turn blue tomorrow, but this kind of pain was nothing to him.

"Since you know I'm not Zou Yuyang, then let it be. I haven't done anything to let your Wei family down. Don't look for me again in the future." After saying that, Zou Yuqing put on his cheap clothes and walked out of the office.

Wei Mingjue just watched all of Zou Yuqing's movements quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It was impossible to distance himself from him. How could he let go so easily of the prey that had satisfied him so much after tasting it once?
