Shi Nian lay on An Nan's shoulder and sobbed softly, her eyes red and her mouth pouted in grievance, her longing for her dad and father reaching its peak.
Annan glanced at Xiao Shi Nian, whose eyes were filled with tears, and felt a little puzzled.
Before planning to have children, all reservist parents are required to study child psychology, and Shi Nian's behavior is a typical manifestation of lack of security and distrust of the outside world.
...That shouldn't be the case.
Annan knew how much his friend valued his little son. How could he let the child remain in a state of fear and helplessness?
Annan's voice was soft, "Baby, can you tell Susu why you want your father so much? They won't run away."
Shi Nian's voice trembled as she hugged An Nan's neck tightly, "I'm afraid..."
Annan slowly coaxed him, "What are you afraid of? Talk to Susu."
Perhaps because Annan was too gentle, Shi Nian felt at ease and told him what had been weighing on her mind, "...I'm afraid that Daddy and my father won't want me."
Annan's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and his throat was dry. "Why do you think so, baby? Do you think your father and your father don't love you?"
Shi Nian shook her head and lowered her eyes, sadness hidden in her eyes behind her long eyelashes. "I'm not feeling well... I need to go get an injection from Doctor Susu. Dad and my father will have to spend a lot of money on me. I'm just a burden... a nuisance..."
Annan listened to him denying himself in his childish voice, and it felt like a wall in his heart had broken, and the cold wind instantly made his whole body cold.
He knew in his heart that these words could never have been uttered by a two-year-old child who knew nothing about the world. There was only one possibility - someone had said these words in front of him.
An Nan felt a surge of anger in his heart. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and kissed Shi Nian's cheek. "Can you tell me, uncle, who told you these words?"
Shi Nian wiped away her tears, "Uncle Ji..."
"Who is Uncle Ji?"
Shi Nian didn't understand why An Nan asked this, and answered blankly, "Uncle Ji, it's Uncle Ji."
Shi Nian's cognitive ability was limited, and An Nan was unable to obtain any other information from him. He immediately sent a message to Shi Yiyu, asking him to pay attention to this "Uncle Ji".
[This child is thoughtful and sensitive. You and Yu Luhan should take some time to spend with him.]
Just as Annan was sending the message, Azer keenly sensed that there was someone following them stealthily. His eyes flashed, and all his mental strength instantly pressed towards that person.
Beta, who was hiding behind a tree, felt a sharp pain in his head. He screamed, covered his head, and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
Shi Nian was so frightened by the noise that she even forgot to cry. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the familiar man, "Uncle Ji..."
Annan frowned and looked down at the Beta.
He looked very young, but his hair was messy and his clothes were covered in dirt. One could only barely tell from the pattern on the clothes that it was a designer brand.
When Annan learned that this man was "Uncle Ji", he had a very bad impression of him. Disgust filled his beautiful purple eyes, "You followed us?"
Ji Yao saw that the Omega in front of him had an outstanding temperament and was either rich or noble, so he immediately denied it, "No! I didn't follow him!"
His voice was so loud that Shi Nian shrank back in fear. She huddled in An Nan's arms and looked at Ji Yao with tears in her eyes.
Ji Yao pointed at Shi Nian and said anxiously, "I know him. I'm their nanny. I used to take care of this child, right, Shi Nian? Please help me say something!"
He practically shouted the last sentence.
Shi Nian was so scolded that she burst into tears. She buried her head in An Nan's neck in fear and cried so hard that her body twitched.
Annan patted Shi Nian's back soothingly with one hand and lowered his head to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay, Nian Nian, don't cry."
Shi Nian grabbed An Nan's sleeve and nodded, "Yeah, wuwu...he...Nian Nian knows him."
Annan wiped the tears from his face with his fingertips, his tone gentle, his brows lowered, "Uncle knows you know him, let the adults handle the rest, okay?"
But when he looked up again, the warmth in his eyes had disappeared when he looked at Ji Yao, and his tone was cold, "Catch him."
In an instant, four or five Alpha officers rushed out from a hidden corner, and under Ji Yao's horrified gaze, they held his hands back and pressed them behind his back, with his face pressed to the ground.
One of them knelt on one knee respectfully, "Your Highness, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." An Nan took out a handkerchief to wipe Shi Nian's tears, then raised his eyes to glance at Ji Yao, "Send this man to the military headquarters and hand him over to Garnett and Yu Luhan, and let them deal with him."
Azel also looked at Ji Yao coldly, "Bad guy."
Ji Yao was completely dumbfounded. Whether it was these Alphas in military uniforms or the officer's address to Annan, it made him feel like he was living in a dream.
He looked at Annan with fear in his eyes, "You...you are from the Sid royal family..."
Annan didn't even want to pay attention to him. He hugged Shi Nian and took Aizel's hand, then turned and left.
After seeing Annan leave, the officer picked up Ji Yao and said in a mocking tone, "Come on, how can you be so bold? Don't you even look at who you've offended?"
Ji Yao was also in a daze. He just saw the child named Shi Nian and knew that their family was rich. He wanted to ask for more money. Who knew that he would offend the royal family...
That's not right... How could that child know someone from the royal family?
Is that really an ordinary wealthy family?
Ji Yao realized belatedly that something was wrong. The child's mysterious parents, the military uniform at home... a huge fear instantly overwhelmed him.
"Let me go! Let me go! I haven't done anything illegal. You have no right to arrest me..."
Ji Yao struggled frantically, but it was of no use to him in the hands of this group of well-trained soldiers.
Suddenly, a jumping boy stood in front of them, and Koles's flashing red eyes revealed his inhuman identity.
When they saw him, the officers stood up straight and saluted unconsciously, "Instructor!"
Kelais was often loaned out by the military to train new recruits, and he quickly found out the identities of these people from the information database, but now was not the time to reminisce.
"Long time no see." Kelais extended his hand with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "My master asked you to hand the person over to me and I will take him back to Apsu."
The officers looked at each other and said hesitantly, "But... His Highness Annan asked us to bring him to the military headquarters."
Kelais said impatiently, "The master has already informed the military, stop pushing and blaming, and give it to them quickly."
So Ji Yao fell into Kelais's hands again, and was carried by him like a chicken. Kelais climbed over the eaves and walls between high-rise buildings and came to the foot of the giant tower hanging high in the air.
Ji Yao was completely numb.
He could never have imagined in his life that one day he would be able to have connections with these behemoths.
In the past, he would have been ecstatic, but now whenever he thought about what he had done to other people's children, he felt disheartened.
…
On the rooftop of the Apsu Tower, a strong wind was howling hundreds of meters above the ground. Shi Yiyu's eyes were cold, and he pinched Ji Yao's neck with one hand. The wind made his pure white lab coat rustle.
Ji Yao's feet were hanging in the air, his face turned purple due to suffocation. He grabbed the hands on his neck tightly, but he couldn't pry them apart no matter what.
Shi Yiyu looked straight at him with sharp eyes, "I let you go once, do you really think I'm a kind person?!"
Ji Yao was recommended by Shi Yiyu's former friend. At that time, because he and Yu Luhan were too busy with work, they really had no way to take care of the child, so they had to find a nanny.
Ji Yao is a Beta and has a good reputation, so they chose him.
It was just that he was relatively normal in the first few days, but then, for some reason, his emotions started to become unstable. He would beat and scold the child, and in front of Shi Nian, who was in poor health, he called him a parasite, a burden, and a nuisance to the family...
Whenever Shi Yiyu thought of the scenes he saw on the surveillance camera, his heart felt like it was being cut out, and the strength in his hands grew stronger and stronger.
After Ji Yao's affair was exposed, he and Yu Luhan wanted to kill him, but the other party knelt down in front of him with tears in his eyes and confessed that he was sick and could not control his emotions. It was pathological and beyond his control.
And he has a baby at home who is only a few months old.
As parents, Shi Yiyu and Yu Luhan softened their hearts and simply fired him and ordered him not to appear in front of Shi Nian.
But I never expected that this person would dare to come back!
Ji Yao thrashed around, struggling to speak, "You...you can't kill me. This...this is illegal."
“Bang!”
With a crisp slap, Ji Yao's face was hit to the side, and the slap mark on his face was clearly visible.
Shi Yiyu threw him heavily to the ground, pressed his knees on him, grabbed his collar, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Do you know that you almost ruined my child? He was so well behaved, never looked down on you, always calling you uncle. How could you have the heart to hit him?!"
Shi Yiyu gasped violently and stared at him. He would never forget the purple bruises on his back caused by the clothes hanger when he was giving Shi Nian a bath. It was truly shocking.
Ji Yao was already scared, sobbing and crying, "I'm sorry, I can't control my emotions, I know I was wrong, please let me go... I beg you."
He didn't want to, but every time he saw the well-behaved and sensible child, he couldn't help but think of his own children whom he sold to others.
Why? Why should this child be able to grow up in luxury? Even though he was clearly dying, his family still went to such great lengths to treat him?
It’s not fair, it’s not fair at all!
Shi Yiyu didn't believe him at all and slapped him hard, "Then why did you show up this time? Tell me! Why did you appear in front of him again?!"
Ji Yao screamed, sobbing and stammering, "I... I..."
What else could it be? Of course it was for money. During the time he took care of Shi Nian, he received more money than he could ever imagine in his lifetime, but he spent it all very quickly.
Ji Yao thought that the boy was soft-hearted. As long as he begged him more and asked Shi Nian to talk to his parents and let him come back to work, he would have money again.
How could Shi Yiyu not know what he was thinking? He forcefully pulled him to the edge of the rooftop and pushed most of his body outside.
His voice was filled with hatred. "Believe it or not, I can leave your body lying on the streets and no one will dare to collect it. Your death will not cause even a single ripple in this huge Plant."
Ji Yao finally felt scared now. He lowered his head and looked at the distant ground, his heart trembling. He begged bitterly, "I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please, don't kill me."
"I gave you a chance."
The next second, he was pushed down from the thousand-foot-tall building. In the few seconds of falling, he saw Shi Yiyu's cold eyes, as well as the hatred and tears in his eyes.
The moment he landed, Ji Yao was crushed into pieces by the gravitational magnetic field at the bottom of the Apsu Tower, leaving no trace of his body.
On the other side, Yi Li came to the 35th floor to find Shi Yi Yu to report data, but he didn't see him. He waited for a long time before seeing Shi Yi Yu come back.
"Boss, this is the abnormal fluctuation of Plante's space..." Yi Li took the information and looked up to see Shi Yiyu crying. He was stunned and said, "Boss... why are you crying?"
Shi Yiyu wiped away her tears and said, "Get out!"
Yi Li turned around decisively: "...Okay."
He can leave work early again!
Yi Li packed up his things without stopping and went home happily. On the first floor, he met Yu Luhan again.
Yi Li pursed her lips and called him, "Um, the boss is crying..."
Yu Luhan's expression was solemn: "...Thank you."
When Yu Luhan reached the top floor and pushed open the door, under a magnificent sea of stars, Shi Yiyu was curled up in the corner, with his head buried in his knees, sobbing.
Yu Luhan felt extremely distressed. He walked forward and squatted in front of him, holding him in his arms, releasing tequila pheromones to comfort him, "Didn't we agree that I would handle this matter?"
Shi Yiyu's eyelashes were covered with tears, and she leaned on his chest, "I killed him."
“…”
Yu Luhan kissed his wet eyes and said, "He deserves it. Not to mention Nian Nian, he also sold his own son and committed the crimes of abandonment and kidnapping."
Shi Yiyu had tears in her eyes, "But... he is a Beta."
Betas are not capable of pregnancy.
Yu Luhan's eyes dimmed. "He has a mechanical gestational sac implanted in his body, and every child he carries is sold at a high price to support his high living expenses."
After a long while, Shi Yiyu finally squeezed out two words from his lips - "Madman."
Speaking of the mechanical gestational sac, Shi Yiyu's expression changed and he searched for Ji Yao's application records on the smart computer.
The Empire has strict control over mechanical organ transplantation. It seems that any implantation must go through layers of review, and Shi Yiyu will naturally have records.
But no matter how Shi Yiyu searched, Ji Yao's medical records did not appear.
Shi Yiyu slowly looked at Yu Luhan and said solemnly, "His gestational sac was transplanted illegally."
Yu Luhan: "...I'll go check."
