Xia Fan

The door of the truck compartment was pulled open, and the sudden intrusion of sunlight made Xia Fan and Zou Yuqing frown and squint their eyes. They had been in darkness for a long time and it was difficult for them to adapt to the light for a while.

"These two guys are awake!" The younger brother who opened the door looked a little flustered, turned his head and shouted to the leader not far away.

Soon, the leader's voice was heard, "Don't be afraid! What can they do to you now? Get them to the freighter quickly, the ship is about to leave!"

After that, four or five Alphas came up and carried Xia Fan and Zou Yuqing out of the car. As soon as they got out of the car, Zou Yuqing glanced at the dock.

Nanwan Wharf, the smallest wharf in City C, was where most of the import and export cargo ships arrived and left. They were about to board a medium-sized freighter, its destination marked on the side—K City Port Zero.

Being carried along was not pleasant. The pain from the wounds being bumped along the way was far more obvious and unbearable than at the beginning. Zou Yuqing turned his head slightly to look at Xia Fan beside him. His face had turned a little pale, and the injured parts had already swollen and turned purple.

Their backs were wet with sweat and their consciousness became a little blurred again due to the pain. After getting on the boat, those people threw them on the deck at random and sat on a small bench not far away.

"Brother, what should we do with them?" The younger brother looked at the two wounded Alphas and asked the leader, "Should we really... throw that Zou or something into the sea?"

Zou Yuqing was stunned. A chill ran down his spine, causing his pupils to shrink. Throwing him into the sea... They wanted to kill him!

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The leader looked at his younger brother and laughed, "Get used to it sooner. This is how it is in our line of work. We have to listen to the orders from our superiors. If they tell us to kill, we have to kill. After all, we took so much of this." As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers.

"Yeah, and throwing them directly into the sea is the least of our worries. No one would be able to find them, and even if we find a body, we can just say it was an accidental fall into the sea." Another younger brother, who has been here longer, smiled and looked at the newcomer and agreed, "We won't be responsible if anything goes wrong. The higher-ups will help us."

"Did you hear that? Look at me, I've been doing well in this business for more than ten years, and I'm living a very happy life!" The leader smiled up at the sky, "After this work is done, Lao Zhang said that this is the number." He opened his hands mysteriously and made a number of five.

"Five hundred thousand?" The younger brother's eyes lit up. "If we divide it up, each of us will get tens of thousands, right?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing what the younger brother said, the leader shook his head speechlessly and said, "You are useless. Five hundred thousand is nothing. Five million! After you finish this job, you can have any kind of Omega around you!" The group began to laugh obscenely, and the boat was filled with the sound of their flirting.

The ship slowly steadied after leaving the dock, the freighter's whistle sounding low and oppressive. He didn't know when they would throw him overboard. This period of time was long, but at this moment, no one knew they were here, and there was no rescue. It seemed that waiting for death was his final fate.

With his head lowered, Zou Yuqing noticed from the corner of his eye that the group of people had stood up. He closed his eyes and waited for death to come. Although Xia Fan said he would pretend to be him, once he boarded this ship, the ending was already determined.

But those people did not approach him and Xia Fan. Instead, they walked into the room, chatting and laughing, and went to the bathroom together. At this moment, Xia Fan's voice appeared in his ears.

"Zou Yuqing, you haven't forgotten what I told you, right?"

"None of us will survive." Zou Yuqing looked at Xia Fan, his eyes filled with reluctance and fear. He didn't want to die. His mother was still at home, and Xu Wang and Mu Yun had said they would wait for him to return to S City for dinner, along with his colleagues in Xinhua, C City... and of course, Wei Mingjue.

In reality, he never got over it. Wei Mingjue had brought him so many emotions: hatred, disgust, throbbing, bewilderment, disappointment, and love. In the end, he was running away, trying to escape the shadow of the past and forget Wei Mingjue's warmth and the changes he had made for him. He was an Alpha, and he retreated because of this love.

But he was so unwilling. It was he who changed Wei Ming Jue, but he was about to die.

"No, they only want one person's life. It will be very difficult for them to deal with two people missing at once." Xia Fan panted lightly and said, "They dare not, but... it's hard to say. Just listen to me first."

Xia Fan couldn't tell. It seemed unlikely that this group of people would take another person off the boat. It was only a matter of time before someone was thrown into the sea first.

"It's best that you're alive. If I were alive, President Wei and Xu Wang would both blame me." Without giving Zou Yuqing a chance to speak, Xia Fan closed his eyes and smiled softly, looking extremely gentle. "If possible, tell Xu Wang for me that I like him. He always thought I liked President Wei, haha. And thank him for me too. I'm really happy to be in my life. When I'm with him, I'm really happy."

Zou Yuqing's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Xia Fan, who was waiting to die, and choked up, saying, "You should tell him this yourself. He will be very happy to hear it and will show off to me."

"If there is another chance, I will definitely..."

"Brother, shall we start now?" Before Xia Fan finished speaking, a group of people came back in twos and threes.

"Wait a little longer and throw it in when we reach the middle of the sea. Once before, my brothers threw someone in too early, and the idiot who was about to die was rescued by someone. It took Lao Zhang a lot of effort to get him back." The leader lit a cigarette and took a breath.

"I haven't met Lao Zhang yet. He must be very powerful. How did he rescue the person?" The younger brother's eyes were full of admiration.

"Old Zhang? He used to work for the S City police. Well, it was because of this guy that Old Zhang offended Wei Mingjue and was fired and sent to K City. That woman valued him as an intelligence network and a network of connections." The leader pointed at Xia Fan. "Damn, so is he Zou Yuqing? Go ask him."

Although confused, the younger brothers still walked up to Xia Fan and Zou Yuqing and squatted down.

"Hey, you said you are Zou Yuqing, how do you prove it? And you, what's your name?" The younger brother kicked Xia Fan and looked at Zou Yuqing again.

"He's the person Wei Mingjue sent to take care of me." Xia Fan stared at the man in front of him and replied, "If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask him, but you'd better not let him know that I'm injured, otherwise he won't let you go."

"Oh, that's so scary!" The leader laughed out loud. "Wei Mingjue, he's so famous, he likes to mess with Alphas. Hey, can you take off the barrier sticker over his gland and see if it's marked?"

The younger brothers then looked at each other in bewilderment and reached out to tear off the barrier patch on Xia Fan's neck. The gland, deeply bitten by Xu Wang, was exposed to the air, drawing laughter and even whistles from the others.

"Oh my god, this is really disgusting. Alphas are labeled as Alphas?" Some people simply couldn't understand this. "They're not Omegas."

"You don't understand, don't you? Rich and powerful people just like this." The leader had been in this business for so many years, he'd seen a lot. He put out his cigarette, walked over to Xia Fan, squatted down, and lifted Xia Fan's chin with his hand. "Well, Lao Zhang said Zou Yuqing has a stubborn look in his eyes, and Wei Mingjue is particularly fond of him and will definitely mark him."

"Don't touch him!" Zou Yuqing couldn't stand these people's behavior. He looked at Xia Fan's bitten gland as if it were a joke, and even insulted Xia Fan's identity as an Alpha. Why?

Hearing Zou Yuqing's voice, the leader raised his eyebrows and turned his head away, "Oh, that look is quite fierce."

"Brother, who is it?" The younger brother was almost dying of anxiety. "The middle section is almost here."

"Don't be impatient, let's play with it first. If you ask me, it should be him. Wei Mingjue is famous for guarding his food, and his people will definitely leave a mark." The leader looked at Xia Fan with a smile, and his eyes began to move from top to bottom, becoming more explicit. "To be honest, I haven't tasted the taste of Alpha yet, and I don't have much interest, but the Alpha that Wei Mingjue likes so much should be very exciting."

"Brother, you are not..."

"Don't touch him! Don't touch him!" Zou Yuqing's eyes widened and he began to roar. He ignored the bleeding wound at the corner of his mouth. He understood the leader's meaning and the looks in those people's eyes. They wanted to mark "Zou Yuqing", mark Xia Fan.

"Shut his mouth, he's making so much noise." After giving a look to have Zou Yuqing's mouth blocked, the leader went to Xia Fan's gland and sniffed it.

The alarm was sounded, and Xia Fan released a large amount of pheromones to try to repel those people, but he was tied up and unable to move, so he could only be knocked to the ground by fists, bearing the weight of the Alpha and the disgusting cheers and playful looks around him.

No... This is the "mark" Xu Wang left on him. He is already Xu Wang's man, don't touch him. Xia Fan resisted the Alpha in front of him, using pheromones to force the other party back. No one could get close to him, but the punches and kicks he received in return became more and more frequent, and he could hardly bear it anymore.

"Brother! It will be too late if we don't take action now!" When they reached the deepest part in the middle of the sea, the younger brother began to urge.

The leader was a little annoyed by Xia Fan's annoyance. He slapped Xia Fan hard and cursed: "Fuck, you've been marked so many times and you still pretend to be a good person? Can't I deal with you?" After that, he pried open Xia Fan's head, which had been beaten to the point of bleeding, and bit the gland that had not yet fully healed.

It was extremely painful. Xia Fan screamed in despair, tears streaming down his face. The Alpha's pheromones simply couldn't fuse, colliding with each other. The loss of physical strength made Xia Fan the weaker party, forced to endure the inhuman torture of being marked.

Zou Yuqing shook his head, his whole body trembling. It wasn't fear, it was hatred. He wanted to kill these disgusting people, but he had no choice but to watch Xia Fan being bitten on the painful gland mark while tied up. Tears blurred his eyes.

After marking, the leader wiped his mouth with a satisfied and triumphant smile as he looked at the twitching, unfocused "Zou Yuqing" on the ground. He then said, "It's black tea flavored, not bad. Alright, let's get started."

“No… no—!”

Zou Yuqing wrenched free the hands covering him, letting out a desperate and unwilling roar that echoed through the sky. He watched as the Alphas lifted the battered Xia Fan, placed him over the side of the boat, and shoved him down. Waves splashed up, landing on the deck and hitting his face, mingling with his tears.

In less than ten seconds, the water calmed down and Xia Fan disappeared.
