Enough
Zou Yuqing was at Xu Wang's house, a result Wei Mingjue had expected. But he didn't go, and instead drove to the company.
He wanted to see Zou Yuqing, but all the things he had to deal with were piling up, forcing him to put Zou Yuqing aside. His brother was in very poor health, the rats were starting to peek out again, and the latest news about the Zou family...
Sitting in the office, Wei Mingjue frowned and closed his eyes. After being silent at the desk for a few minutes, he opened his eyes slightly.
"Ming Jue, you are in very bad condition. Go and rest for a while." In addition to Xia Fan, Fu Ming was also present. He suggested after looking at Wei Ming Jue's condition.
But Wei Mingjue refused, "No, tell me about the current situation."
"Boss Wei, Liang Shu just called you, but you didn't answer, so he called me. He said Mingyu has recovered now, but the only option left is to give birth to the child, otherwise the damage to his health will be even greater." Xia Fan first explained what Liang Shu had just said to him. Seeing Wei Mingjue's brows furrowed even more, he paused before continuing, "As for the Zou family, I've found out that Zou Yushen started gambling at the end of last year and made a lot of money at the beginning. Zou Yuyang also started gambling in March of this year."
"But they've already owed about 10 million yuan. I don't understand. How could a single household dare to do that?" Fu Ming continued, "I heard they initially made a million yuan with 200,000 yuan, and then they got carried away. Well, they deserved it."
Gambling? No wonder Zou Yushen asked Xu Jie for money. This was the reason. Wei Mingjue narrowed his eyes. "Who do you owe it to?"
"They owe it everywhere, but guess who owes the biggest sum? Brother Dong! They owe Brother Dong 6.5 million!" Fu Ming laughed as if he was telling a joke. "How could it be such a coincidence? I remember that Brother Dong wanted to get you to run a casino together!"
Hearing this, Wei Mingjue also raised the corner of his mouth, "I'll go meet Brother Dong some other day, how is the factory doing recently?"
"Everything is normal at the factory, but Yan Yue told me someone has been secretly following her for a while," Xia Fan reported. "After returning from vacation, someone has been squatting near her home."
"Protect her well, don't let your guard down." Wei Mingjue pressed his solar plexus, his voice tired. "They are still observing, and they will probably take action soon. The batch of drugs at the end of the year should be their target."
By the end of the year, the company will mass-produce drugs to be sent to various hospitals and pharmacies, of which inhibitors will account for 65%. Judging from their previous actions, they want to continue tampering with the inhibitor formula, so they are thinking of getting rid of Yan Yue, who is specifically responsible for and in charge of this area.
"By the way, Mr. Wei, there is one more thing about Zou Yuyang." Xia Fan suddenly thought of another thing.
Wei Mingjue was furious when he heard the name, but he suppressed his anger and motioned Xia Fan to continue.
"Weren't you affected by an Omega on the day of Zou Yuyang and Mingyu's wedding?" Xia Fan said, looking at Wei Mingjue. "That Omega was Zou Yuyang's ex. It's very likely that they planned this."
"Ha..." This was something Wei Mingjue hadn't expected. He hadn't thought Zou Yuyang would be so bold. Not only did he deceive his brother's feelings, but he even brought his ex into the wedding?
"Tsk, that's disgusting." Fu Ming shook his head, "Then we can't let them go."
"Do we need to bring that Omega over?" Xia Fan asked.
"Go find it and find out what happened. If everything is alright..."
Just as he was about to say, "If it's all right, I'll be out for a bit," the office phone suddenly rang. Wei Mingjue had just picked it up when he heard an anxious female voice: "Boss Wei! This is Yang Yang from the factory production department. Something's happened to Yan Yue!"
Everything was so sudden and outrageous. They'd just finished talking about protecting him, and then, like setting a flag, something went wrong. The three of them exchanged glances before rushing to the garage and to the hospital. The entire journey was silent and serious.
Yang Yang looked very sad and scared beside Yan Yue's bed. Seeing Wei Mingjue coming, she stood up and said, "Boss Wei, Yan Yue...she was followed and knocked unconscious. How could this happen? I was talking to her on the phone just now. She said someone was following her, so she hid in the public restroom. I didn't expect...I didn't expect it to be..."
As she spoke, the girl in front of him started crying again. Wei Mingjue looked at Yan Yue lying on the hospital bed. The Omega had thick gauze wrapped around her forehead and was still in a coma, looking very fragile.
Fortunately, it wasn't Zou Yuqing. This was Wei Mingjue's first reaction. When he came to his senses, he felt that he was too rude.
But this was also his truest thought. Zou Yuqing and Yan Yue were both targeted by those people, and they had indeed attacked. Zou Yuqing was tortured by the addictive suppressant, and Yan Yue was also attacked on the road.
The men seemed to be telling him that they were about to begin.
"We will send people to continue protecting you. During this period, you should act together and it's best not to go out alone. I will leave the drug testing and production to others. You stay here with her." After Wei Mingjue finished his instructions, he turned around and said, "I will pay for the medical expenses. Take good care of her."
"Hey, where are you going now?" Seeing Wei Mingjue walk out, Fu Ming and Xia Fan followed.
"Go see Zou Yuqing, you guys go back." After saying that, Wei Mingjue breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the hospital quickly.
He had thought he'd see her when he got to work, but he couldn't wait any longer. Yan Yue's experience had made him panic. He was afraid that Zou Yuqing would be the next person lying in the hospital bed. He hadn't explained yet, and he wanted Zou Yuqing to know that he was serious.
At three minutes past nine in the evening, Wei Mingjue parked in front of Xu Wang's tobacco and liquor store. Through the car window, he saw Zou Yuqing. Zou Yuqing was helping out in the store. This Alpha, who never smiled brightly at him, was now smiling at a Beta like this, which made him grit his teeth.
The roses in the trunk were no longer as vibrant, having been tossed around and turned pale. Wei Mingjue didn't plan to take them out again. He straightened his clothes, feeling a little nervous.
The moment she saw him, Zou Yuqing's expression was one of surprise, but it quickly cooled. See, Zou Yuqing never gave him a good look when she saw him. Perhaps she had been like that before, but he hadn't cherished it.
"Zou Yu..."
"What are you doing here? We're closing down and won't be selling any more."
Before he could even call out his name, the Beta frowned at him and spoke first, looking as if to drive him away.
"I'm looking for Zou Yuqing." No one had ever dared to talk to him like that. Wei Mingjue was a little angry, but the Beta in front of him was Zou Yuqing's best friend, so he held back.
"He's not here, you can leave." Xu Wang glared at the Alpha at the door. Even though Zou Yuqing was standing behind him, he still lied with his eyes open in an attempt to drive Wei Mingjue away.
Xu Wang's parents had no idea what was going on. Seeing their son about to argue with the "customer", they immediately ran out of the counter, but were stopped by Zou Yuqing.
Zou Yuqing smiled and shook his head at them, then walked over to Xu Wang and said, "It's okay, I'll go out and talk to him."
"Are you really okay? What if he..."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." He smiled at Xu Wang soothingly, then turned to look at Wei Mingjue, his eyes devoid of any emotion. "Go out and talk."
Wei Mingjue felt disappointed about Zou Yuqing's different treatment, but he followed Zou Yuqing, and the two walked to a quiet place at the corner without saying a word.
"Why are you looking for me? Are you asking me for money?" Zou Yuqing stopped and asked.
"You know this is not the reason why I came to see you." Wei Mingjue pursed his lips. The person in front of him was too cold, which made him feel a little sad.
Zou Yuqing suddenly laughed twice and looked up at Wei Mingjue, "Oh, you want to sleep with me? I'm not very good today, I'm still a little..."
"Zou Yuqing! You know clearly that's not what I meant!" Wei Mingjue was anxious. He interrupted Zou Yuqing's self-deprecating words and said a little excitedly, "I just want to explain!"
"Explain? No need to explain. Haven't you explained it already? I know everything. It's nothing else, so I'll leave first." Zou Yuqing has always been very calm, so calm that he seems unable to feel any emotions. The love and hate in the past seem to have become synonymous with numbness.
"I admit I was just playing around at first!" As they passed each other, Wei Mingjue grabbed Zou Yuqing's wrist. He spoke loudly, not even checking her reaction, and continued, "But now it's different. I really like you, Zou Yuqing. I don't know when it started, but I..."
"Enough, Wei Ming Jue." Not wanting to listen to the hunter's sweet talk anymore, Zou Yuqing interrupted, "You're not in love at all. You're just feeling sorry and unwilling because your prey discovered your trick, aren't you?"
"No! Zou Yuqing, what do you want me to do? What should I do to make you believe that I really like you?" Wei Mingjue raised his head and took a breath, holding Zou Yuqing's hand more and more tightly.
Zou Yuqing frowned, lowered his head and whispered, "Get out of my life, Wei Mingjue." Let everything return to the way it was before. He would no longer become unlike himself for the sake of feelings.
Wei Mingjue was stunned. He let go of his hand in a daze, feeling that Zou Yuqing was getting farther and farther away from him.
"You know it's impossible."
A low, sad voice reached his ears, and Zou Yuqing paused for a moment, but he didn't stop again. Instead, he walked around the corner. A second before he walked out, he caught a glimpse of Wei Mingjue's lonely back under the streetlight.
