“Ding Dong.”

The terminal on the table made a special attention prompt sound, and Chen Nian immediately jumped up from the bed and grabbed the new terminal that was specially used to contact Chen Ci.

Chen Ci sent a photo.

Chen Nian clicked on the original image, and a virtual screen unfolded before his eyes, presenting the image captured by the camera in the most realistic and clear way.

Large areas of deep blue and dark purple are laid out, blurred by the milky white haze in the center. The light source seems to come from the end of the junction of the sea and the sky, and seems to be pouring down from the top.

It was the seaside where night was about to fall and thick fog was rising.

Above the mist, where it was almost cloud, huge buildings never seen before collapsed like the remains of an ancient beast, buried by the endless snow and wind, almost returning to that white light.

The full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the abandoned land coldly.

There are too many missing details, but it does not affect the shock of the picture at all. The color blocks collide and merge violently, the abandoned land covered with ice and snow in the distant sky, and the heavy pressure on the sea surface where the tide has receded. The desolate loneliness in it almost breaks through the screen and drowns Chen Nian in the bright palace.

After a few seconds, Chen Nian realized that he had been holding his breath. He quickly opened his mouth and took a deep breath. The tip of his tongue seemed to taste ice, moonlight, and sea water.

Where is this? Is there such a shocking place on cinnabar? !

Chen Nian quickly asked Chen Ci: [How spectacular! Where is this? ]

Chen Ci replied after two minutes: [Abandon the Suburbs]

Chen Nian immediately clicked on the structure diagram of Cinnabar, scanned it, and found the "Abandoned Suburbs" mark on the platform extending from the bottom.

Did Chen Ci go to such a far place?

Chen Nian was a little surprised. A few days ago, Chen Ci told him that he was going on a trip, and he thought it was just a trip to a few nearby districts. He didn't expect his brother to end up so close to the extension.

This abandoned suburb was once a battlefield, right? Is it really not dangerous?

Chen Nian looked at the photo again and suddenly felt a little regretful that she couldn't go with Chen Ci.

It must be fun for the two brothers to go on an adventure together.

Chen Nian quietly felt the desolation and remoteness brought by the Sea Palace, then clicked to save the picture.

Soon another photo was sent.

The tone of this photo is much warmer. In the cleared space in the ruins, the stove has been set up and some kind of soup is cooking inside. The flames of the gas stove are dancing, emitting a bright orange-red light, driving away the night and making the surrounding weeds and gravel appear somewhat soft.

A foot wearing sneakers and a pair of hands appeared in the camera, opening a package of fast food. Those were obviously the hands of an Alpha, with distinct joints, strong and powerful.

It seems that Fu Tianhe takes good care of his brother.

Seeing that Chen Ci had food and drink and saw the stunning scenery, Chen Nian felt relieved.

He guessed correctly. His brother, who had always been a coquettish person raised in the White Tower, was actually more passionate and stronger than anyone else.

Chen Nian responded with an envious expression and saved the photo as well.

He had just finished dinner and had been lying in bed for a while out of habit. Now, seeing Chen Ci out and about, he felt that he could not be so decadent any more.

His room in the palace was so comfortable that Shafulai, who knew Chen Nian's true identity, did not prepare a room for him in the style of the White Tower's bedroom. Instead, he asked Chen Nian to think it over himself and then tell the housekeeper.

Chen Nian was finally able to realize his dream of owning a big house. He spent an entire night thinking about the style he liked and what he needed, and told his housekeeper.

When he came back from his walk, the bedroom had already been tidied. The moment Chen Nian opened the door, he was extremely surprised. The decoration and furnishings were exactly as in his dreams, even more perfect.

The room was so nice that he just wanted to lie around for the past few days.

Chen Nian stretched, put on his slippers, went out, turned left, and knocked on the door of the next room.

After a few seconds, the door lock popped open with a click, and Chen Nian pushed the door open and walked in.

It was the smart butler who opened the door for him, and as for Shaflay himself...

Chen Nian narrowed his eyes, walked lightly through the living room, and heard Alpha's somewhat panicked voice: "Wait a moment!"

Chen Nian stopped where he was.

Shafley, who had just come out of the bathroom, stepped into the bedroom in one step, leaving only a shadow behind. He closed the door, quickly took off the bath towel around his waist, and put on loose home clothes.

Shafulai didn't know how the smart butler opened the door for Chen Nian. He was taking a shower!

Fortunately, I had already finished washing.

Shafley rubbed the towel on his head vigorously, trying to wipe off as much water as possible. He put the towel down, and a robotic arm immediately stretched out and took it to dry.

"Why did you open the door?"

Smart Butler: "Her Highness Chen Ci is your fiancée. I think this is a great opportunity for the two of you to strengthen your relationship."

Shafley was speechless at the thoughtfulness of the smart butler. He shook his head, and his wet and stuck hair spread out and became fluffy and curly.

Shafley quickly blew his hair dry and walked out of the bedroom. Chen Nian was standing next to the standing cabinet, playing with his collection of figures.

Seeing Shafulai coming out, Chen Nian put the alien creature made of clay in his hand back to its original place and raised his eyes.

Alpha was wearing a loose, solid-colored home suit. He had not bothered to tidy up his appearance in his haste. His short platinum-blond hair was naturally curly, making it look particularly fluffy and easy to rub.

The whole room was filled with the aroma of sherry, and as the temperature of the bath increased, even more of the scent was evaporated, and just smelling it made one feel tipsy.

Of course Shafley also noticed it, and he quickly turned the ventilation system to the maximum to avoid disturbing Chen Nian, the Omega.

The air current will quickly carry away the pheromones belonging to the Alpha.

"What's wrong?" Shafulai asked. Chen Nian wouldn't come to him for no reason...right?

Chen Nian blinked and said nothing. Shafulai understood and turned off the smart housekeeper system.

Chen Nian then said, "My brother went to the abandoned suburbs."

Shafulai was stunned. He was not like Chen Nian, who needed to look at a map to know the location of the abandoned suburbs. As expected, he frowned when he heard the news: "Isn't that place an old battlefield? If I remember correctly, it should be dangerous and there is nothing worth visiting."

"Who knows?" Chen Nian shrugged. "But the photos he sent me look pretty good. They made me want to go check them out. He's so strong, he shouldn't be in any danger."

Shafley still had a frown on his face. The news that Chen Nian brought was completely beyond his expectations. It also made him realize once again that he had never understood Chen Ci.

In other words, no one knows what a true Chen Ci looks like.

Chen Nian did not tell Shaflay that Chen Ci went with the other Alphas.

After all, my brother is Shable's nominal fiancée. Although Shable has always been generous, he must be very sad to know that his future Omega has run away with another Alpha.

He decided to do Shaflay a favor and not let him get hurt any further for the time being.

"By the way, what about what I said the other day? What did you ask?"

After Chen Ci told Chen Nian the result of taking Jiang Dai to the black clinic for treatment, Chen Nian followed the method they had discussed and asked Shafley for his opinion.

Upon hearing that the housekeeper who had raised Chen Nian for eighteen years was now ill and in danger of becoming completely blind at any time, Shafley agreed immediately.

Just as Chen Ci said, as the eldest prince, he holds considerable power. It is still possible for him to bring Jiang Dai up from the underground city for treatment while hiding his identity.

"I have already contacted the hospital. As long as you agree, they can bring the patient in any time. The specific treatment still requires a personal visit to the patient. There are the best ophthalmologists in Cinnabar, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"That's great." Chen Nian finally felt relieved. He tilted his eyes and gave Alpha a sincere smile, "Thank you."

It's not cunning or malicious, nor is it seductive or provocative.

There wasn't much difference between the different smiles, but in Shaffley's eyes, it made him slightly stunned.

——So these are the things Chen Nian really cares about.

"I've also looked up some other things these past two days that might be of interest to you." Shafley looked away and motioned for Chen Nian to follow him.

Chen Nian followed Shafley to the table. The floor-to-ceiling windows were blocked by curtains, making this meeting a completely private conversation.

The sofa was right next to him, but Shafley sat on the floor.

Seeing this, Chen Nian followed his example and sat cross-legged on the soft handmade carpet. The loose crotch of his home clothes was pulled up, revealing half of his calves and white ankles.

The carpet was so comfortable that Chen Nian couldn't help but move his feet and rub them repeatedly. The soft fur rubbed against his delicate skin, causing him to bend down, then bounce up playfully and brush across his arch.

The Alpha's eyes briefly swept over the graceful lines of the Omega's legs, then politely moved away.

Shafulai didn't want to, but the young man in front of him seemed to have an unspeakable magic. It was difficult for anyone who stayed with Chen Nian not to look at him.

Shaflay tapped on the terminal, and within a moment seven or eight small virtual screens appeared in front of the two of them.

"I've reviewed the files on the Chen family and asked someone to collect some information." Shafulai sorted out the different clues. "I guess the butler didn't tell you anything."

"Well, if I hadn't met Chen Ci by chance, I might never have known that I was still related to the top."

Chen Nian lowered his eyes and watched Shaflay perform the operation skillfully. His hands moved so fast that it seemed like he was performing magic.

The usually silent and often distracted Alpha was concentrating on the electronic product. His body leaned forward slightly, and the round collar of his pajamas was loose, but was evenly supported by his chest.

Shafla is stronger than he looks.

After sorting out the clues, Shafley motioned for Chen Nian to go and have a look. He stood up, walked barefoot to the bar, and started mixing cocktails.

Chen Nian clicked on them one by one in order, and the entire life story of Chen Wei appeared before him.

This was his father whom he had never met. No, that might not be quite accurate. Chen Nian must have seen him when he was just born, but this marshal had never appeared in his memory.

Chen Wei became famous at a young age. He graduated from the First Military Academy as a chief at the age of 23. The first battle he led was the famous Battle of the Altun Mountains. His absolutely outstanding tactical arrangements were written into textbooks.

After that, Chen Wei used several battles to prove that his victory in the first battle was not just luck. He became the most dazzling new star in the entire military, was highly appreciated by the young emperor at the time, and soon became the emperor's close friend.

Chen Wei is always able to inflict heavy damage to the invading primitive creatures with minimal losses. For a long time, the major beacons have been separated by the vast ocean, and the establishment of the Elector System has exacerbated the situation of the six major beacons acting independently.

But no matter whether it was Sanshui or Yanjing, each of the six beacons had requested Chen Wei to lead the army.

More than ten years have become a beautiful record in his life. Chen Nian knew that his father was a hero, but this was the first time he saw these.

The turning point came nineteen years ago.

On an ordinary morning, the sixth beacon, Moonlight, located on the Greenland ice and snow plateau, suddenly disappeared due to unknown reasons.

Even Sanshui in the Rocky Mountains could clearly hear the loud noise of the moonlight collapsing. The sound resounded through the sky and lasted for fifty-seven hours.

Chen Wei led his troops to Moonlight to rescue the surviving residents trapped on the ring platform. When the troops arrived at the relevant sea area, they found that the water was already full of primitive creatures attracted by the collapsed ruins.

Chen Wei severely damaged the Sea Emperor Canglong and successfully rescued the residents of Moonlight.

He returned in triumph, and soon after, the Marshal's wife gave birth to two sons, but died in childbirth.

There is nothing more to say after that.

Chen Wei was named Elector of Cinnabar, and his newborn child was even engaged to the royal family, apparently to ensure that the Chen family would be wealthy and prominent for generations.

At this time, Shafley came back with a glass of wine. He handed a glass to Chen Nian, sat down opposite the boy again, and asked, "Have you found the problem?"

Chen Nian flipped back and took a final look at the parts that he found strange, then raised his head and asked:

"...Where's my mother?"
