Chapter 59: Angry in the Previous Life

Chapter 59: Angry in the Previous Life

"Fortunately, Jiang Yuqing went abroad. I dare not let him know these things." Zhang Heng pushed his glasses, loosened his tie, and took a deep breath.

After all, he didn't expect that Qi Yan's suspicion was correct. Yi Hongli's methods were too despicable. If he hadn't done so many things behind the scenes, Gu Yanxing would not have taken extreme measures so quickly.

If Jiang Yuqing knew what happened to Gu Yanxing before his death, she would probably fight to the death with the Yi family.

"These things must be hidden well. If Jiang Yuqing returns to China, he must not find them." Qi Yan turned off the computer, reached out to take the cigarettes and lighter on the table, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Zhang Heng asked: "Will he return to China?" Gu Yanxing is already dead, does Jiang Yuqing still have any reason to return to China?

The Jiang family is a complex family that is no less complicated than the Shen family. They made their fortune abroad in their early years and have an extremely broad business empire spanning many countries. As a member of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuqing would probably not come back unless something unexpected happened.

“Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one.” Qi Yan thought about how Jiang Yuqing looked when they went abroad, and always felt that it was not that simple. Can he really let go of the obsession of many years?

Jiang Yuqing didn't know much about what happened in the past. Besides him and Gu Yanxing deliberately hiding it, Jiang Yuqing's parents didn't want him to be involved. But if Jiang Yuqing really wanted to know, they couldn't hide it.

A wisp of smoke escaped from between his lips, as if taking away his sorrow. Qi Yan supported his chin with one hand and thought, then after a while he crushed the cigarette into the ashtray.

"The most important thing now is to find what he has hidden. Yi Hongli's people will not give up easily. We have to find it before him, otherwise we won't even have our last chance."

"This is the only way. Next, we have to find a way to contact this person and see if we can get some information from him." Zhang Hengyi pulled out a photo from the file. It was a photo of a young man in a police uniform. "He has had a lot of dealings with Gu Yanxing. Maybe he can provide us with some information."

Qi Yan stared at the person in the photo: "I'll come and contact him."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll continue looking for the place where Gu Yanxing stayed and lived before he died." Zhang Hengyi felt helpless. He took Qi Yan's cigarette and lit one for himself to relieve his tense nerves. "He even lived in an abandoned sewer. What on earth is this guy doing? Is he so short of money that he can't even afford to find a house to live in?"

Mingming was once the eldest son of the Gu family and had extraordinary abilities, but he ended up living like a homeless person. Zhang Hengyi admired him.

"That's not the case. He's not short of money." Qi Yan explained to the dead man who couldn't speak, "He has several anonymous cards abroad with all the money on them. It's enough to last him a lifetime."

Zhang Hengyi: "Then why does he live like this?"

Anonymous? Gu Yanxing must have done it on purpose, so that the money could not be traced and he would not be held responsible if he hit Yi Hongli and his wife with his car.

"Who knows?" Qi Yan said.

A question popped up in Zhang Heng's mind: "Since this guy hid so deeply and his methods were not simple, how did Yi Hongli find him and force him to go down a path of no return..."

The orange-red flames between his fingers flickered, and thin smoke rose. Qi Yan had been thinking about this question, and said, "Indeed, Gu Yanxing is very good at disguise. Most people can't track him at all. How did he get targeted?"

If Gu Yanxing had not been discovered and targeted by Yi Hongli, perhaps he would not have died like this, so who exposed his whereabouts?

The information I have collected is not enough to clarify this matter, so I can only give up for the time being.

They avoided the question. Zhang Heng remembered the contract Qi Yan had signed before and asked him how long it would take to complete it. Qi Yan thought about it and said that it would probably be finished in a month.

"Then you are freed." Zhang Hengyi said, "I checked privately. It is said that the alph hormone that needs to be extracted for pseudo-marking must be from the deepest part of the gland. It is very difficult to extract and it is very painful. I feel uncomfortable just by reading the description. It's amazing that you have persisted for so long."

"Ah, this does hurt a bit." Qi Yan reached out and touched the back of his neck, where the pheromone isolation patch was applied, and smiled helplessly, "There were a few times when it hurt so much that I regretted it, especially when the researcher didn't prick the needle correctly and had to do it again, and when the painkillers took too long to work, I felt a constant stream of needle pricks on the back of my neck..."

"Stop talking!" Zhang Heng stretched out his hand to stop him, and rolled up his suit sleeves. "Look, I have goose bumps. Don't talk about this kind of thing with a normal alpha, okay?"

A normal alpha would never be like Qi Yan, who smiled as he talked about the process of having his pheromones extracted. Alpha is the aggressor standing at the top, a natural offensive type, so how can he quietly allow others to extract his pheromones? Even if it is a peaceful era now, Alpha will not easily agree.

"Okay. Actually, what I said was quite normal and not scary. It's just that you have too rich imagination." Qi Yan said.

His principle is to do things for money, and he was the one who signed the contract and agreed to provide pheromones.

Qi Yan would not regret it easily, apart from the process of extracting pheromones, it was too painful after all, and even his thoughts were a little stuck. It was normal for him to regret.

…

"Don't you need to come over for the next three days?"

When Qi Yan went back, he happened to see Shen Xiliu wearing a calm black suit and standing in front of the mirror adjusting the black pheromone isolation collar on his neck. Before he could ask him if he had something to go out for, he heard Shen Xiliu say that he didn't need to come over for the next three days.

"Well, I'll be staying at the old house these few days. If you don't want to leave, you can stay here at will. There's still more than a month left anyway."

Shen Xiliu said indifferently, her pretty face expressionless, her narrow eyes cold and sharp, and the three teardrop moles under her left eye were eye-catching and unique. His originally sickly complexion now looks much healthier after this period of treatment, but he still exudes an aloof and arrogant temperament, which is more likely to give people a sense of oppression than his usual relaxed state of leaning on the sofa reading a book.

I haven't seen him like this in a long time. Qi Yan was used to Shen Xiliu's casual demeanor and almost forgot that he was a dangerous man: "So we don't have to do it today and tomorrow?"

Qi Yan calculated that he had been doing it every night recently, and quite a lot each time. After all, he was delayed for a long time when he went to City C before, and he made up for it all in the past few days.

“…”

Shen Xiliu, who had just finished tidying up his pheromone isolation collar and was wearing a tie, accidentally pulled his tie askew when he heard this. He frowned slightly and looked at Qi Yan, his expression cold and warning: "Don't say these words at this time."

In the past, when he showed this expression, Qi Yan would tactfully change the subject, but recently he became a little more casual and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I just asked you by the way, don't take it to heart. Are you okay? Is today's medical examination report out?"

"It's on the table, take a look for yourself." Shen Xiliu was impatient with his attitude, so he withdrew his gaze and tugged off his tie with his fingers irritably.

Not feeling very happy, he walked towards the sofa, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to Shen Qingze asking if he could get some medicine to control the sequelae of false labeling. He really didn't want to be easily led by others' emotions, especially by someone like Qi Yan.

The situation in the examination report was indeed getting better and better, even approaching that of a normal omega. Just looking at the ups and downs of pheromones, Qi Yan couldn't tell that Chen Xiliu was a sick omega.

"There's only one month left." Qi Yan put down the examination report, smiled and looked at Shen Xiliu who was sitting on the sofa and sending messages.

Shen Xiliu rarely nodded in agreement with him: "Very good."

It would be even better if the time could be reduced. For an omega who doesn't want to be affected by pheromones, the aftereffects of false marking make Shen Xiliu feel upset, but he can't escape it. After all, compared with the impact of being actually marked, it is relatively easy now.

At least he can still think rationally.

"Yes, the sooner it ends, the sooner we can be free and return to our original lives. It's really something to look forward to." Qi Yan said with a smile, as if he missed his original life very much.

The palm holding the phone tightened slightly, feeling a little unhappy. Shen Xiliu's dark eyes stayed on his face for a moment, and his tone was ambiguous: "It seems that you can't wait..."

What was Qi Yan’s life like in the past? At first, Shen Yunshu handed him a stack of investigation materials to look at, but Shen Xiliu just glanced at them casually and lost interest in reading them, so he threw them aside.

He didn't need to watch it, he could guess that this person had lived in that kind of environment since he was a child, and after he turned 18, he often stayed in bars, lived an indulgent life every day, and wandered among all kinds of people. It was easy to imagine what would happen...

"I am indeed a little impatient." Qi Yan missed it very much. He walked around the table, sat on the other side of the sofa, leaned back lazily, and began to mutter, "After all, I won't have to rush back from far away every day after get off work. This place is very far from the bar, taxi fares are not cheap, and the commute time is long. Sometimes I even have to leave work early and explain to the enthusiastic guests. There are also many regulations in the contract. I have to be careful every day to avoid violating the regulations. But after the contract ends, I don't have to worry about so much. I can do whatever I want, even sleep..."

"Pah!" A sound was heard, and Qi Yan's eyes shifted to the mobile phone that was casually thrown on the table.

Shen Xiliu said coldly: "It seems that I have really wronged you during this period of time. Do you need me to apologize to you?"

He smiled, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, which were sarcastic and cold.

He hadn't said a word of complaint yet, but Qi Yan spoke it out before him. Shen Xiliu was very unhappy. The more he looked at Qi Yan, the more he felt that he was an eyesore, especially his eyes. He was such a disgusting guy...

What a great name.

"Are you angry?" Qi Yan looked at his angry expression and laughed. It was the first time he saw Shen Xi show this kind of expression during the day, it was quite cute.

This is even more disgusting and deserves a beating. Shen Xiliu turned his eyes away coldly. As expected, a month was too long. It would be best if he didn't have to see this person from now on.

Qi Yan reached out and took the tie that Shen Xiliu had thrown on the sofa, and moved closer to him: "Don't be angry, I was just talking casually, we still have to get along for a while. It's normal for workers to complain about these things, but if other workers knew how much money I got, they would probably think I was ungrateful..."

“Oh, so you knew that.” Shen Xiliu sneered. He watched Qi Yan walk up to him, half squat down, put the tie on him, and carefully adjust the angle.

The distance was a little close. If it were in the past, Chen Xiliu would have told him to get away. But perhaps because the distance was closer every night, he did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, a strange and disturbing emotion surged in his heart.

"After all, I'm not a fool. I was just joking with you just now." Qi Yan said with a smile. Her fingertips were wrapped around her tie, her long eyelashes fluttered gently, her eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness and affection, and her beautiful amber eyes reflected the human figure, as if she could only see him.

This look made Shen Xiliu feel a little uncomfortable, and even his breathing stopped for a moment. He felt the unexpressible emotion more intuitively than at night. His cheeks started to feel hot and his whole body felt uncomfortable, probably because of the aftereffects. He couldn't ignore the alpha who marked him, even though it was just a false mark.

Shen Xiliu reached out and grabbed Qi Yan's wrist, saying impatiently, "Okay... okay, I don't need your help, my hand is not disabled."

I clearly wanted to pull the other person's hand away, but I didn't use any strength. Instead, I unconsciously pulled them closer, which was a bit strange.

“Eh…”

Qi Yan seemed to realize something, he looked up at Shen Xiliu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a deep smile, he asked him softly: "Want to do it?"
