Loud noises kept coming from downstairs—the collision of furniture, broken glass, and people’s struggles. The messy pheromones were like multiple styles of music playing at the same time, forming very penetrating and lethal ‘noises’. Everyone who is exposed to it is not immune to its lethality. 

Especially for an omega. The environment where the alpha pheromones are mixed is a hell on earth. He felt a rush in his stomach and his chest was so tight that he could hardly breathe. He had to go back to the room and close the door. Not only him who couldn’t stand it. Qiu Qiu can’t be exposed to that kind of field as well.

He breathed a sigh of relief and gently carried Qiuqiu from the bed into the stroller. He picked up his shirt and put it on Qiuqiu, wanting the child to smell as much of his pheromones as possible. He grabbed the stroller’s handle, staring nervously at the door.

Suddenly, the door was opened with a loud ‘bang’. Qu Chengchen strode in with a gloomy face: “Follow me.”

Shen Dai looked at him in fear.

“Hurry up!” Qu Chengchen said sharply.

Shen Dai had to pick Qiuqiu up. Qiuqiu also woke up at this time, half-opened his eyes blankly. His expression became more and more aggrieved.

“Don’t cry. Please don’t cry.” Shen Dai patted Qiuqiu’s back while releasing a maternal pheromone, trying his best to comfort him. He was afraid that Qiuqiu’s crying would make Qu Chengchen even more impatient and could lead to bad consequences.

Qiuqiu seemed to sense Shen Dai’s panic, pursed his lips and snorted softly. He kept shrinking into Shen Dai’s arms.

Qu Chengchen took Shen Dai straight to the elevator. Shen Dai turned back frequently. He seemed to hear Qu Moyu’s voice again. He shouted: “Qu Moyu!”

Qu Chengchen grabbed Shen Dai’s arm and pulled him into the elevator. The elevator stopped at the underground garage.

“Qu Moyu has found this place. Where do you think you can take us?” Shen Dai asked sharply.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Get in the car.” Qu Chengchen opened the car door and pushed Shen Dai to the co-pilot seat. He bent over to fasten Shen Dai’s seat belt and smiled evilly at the fair and handsome face who was close at hand, “Don’t you think it’s very exciting?”

Shen Dai scolded: “You’re sick. All of you surnamed Qu are sick.”

“Maybe.” Qu Chengchen got into the car. With the basement door opened, the car just drove out and turned a corner. They then saw Qu Moyu standing at the gate of the courtyard, standing in the rainy night, facing the oncoming car. The car seemed to have no intention of evading.

Shen Dai’s eyes widened: “Stop!” He turned his head to look at Qu Chengchen, only to see Qu Chengchen with a sly smile on his face. His eyes flashing with brilliance, as if he was about to pounce on the prey in front of him.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Qu Moyu, but the car had no tendency to slow down, Shen Dai yelled in a hurry. If Qiuqiu wasn’t in his arms, he would definitely grab the steering wheel!

Qu Moyu looked coldly at the car that was rushing towards him and slowly clenched his fists. But when he saw Shen Dai and Qiuqiu on the co-pilot, there was hesitation in his expression. The car was far from him. When it was less than ten metres away, only then he dodged.

Qu Chengchen’s facial muscles were trembling with tension. His eyes were bloodshot, his back molars were clucking, and his face showed a gambler’s madness. Qu Moyu’s dodging and his car rushed through the gate, front and back in less than a second away.

Shen Dai closed his eyes in horror. But Qu Chengchen laughed loudly, as if he had won.

The car slowed and came to a stop, splashing with rain and mud, rendering the night a mess.

Shen Dai trembled and opened his eyes. Sweat dripped from his body. Qiuqiu was so frightened that he cried. Shen Dai turned his head and saw that Qu Moyu was running towards them. He was not hurt. He turned around abruptly and gave Qu Chengchen a vicious punch.

The punch was really heavy. Qu Chengchen’s head hit the glass with a loud bang. He stroked his numb right cheek and he squinted at Shen Dai: “You have quite a temper.”

Shen Dai leaned down to Qiuqiu but found that he was unable to appease Qiuqiu now. This is because Qiuqiu must have felt his panic.

Qu Chengchen got out of the car, went around to the co-pilot, and opened the car door. He looked at Qu Moyu who was approaching and spat his bloody saliva on the ground: “How did you escape?”

“Do you dare to hit me?” Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai, “Ah Dai, are you all alright?”

Shen Dai shook his head with a pale face. He almost felt like collapsing. The image of the car rushing towards Qu Moyu was repeated in his mind. If Qu Moyu didn’t dodge just now, if he just let himself be hit like that, if… Just imagining what might happen, the fear crawled on him like ants.

Qu Chengchen put his arm on the car door, brushed his forehead wet by the rain with one hand, and chuckled, “You’ll know if you don’t dodge.”

“If it wasn’t for them in the car, I wouldn’t dodge.” Qu Moyu’s eyes looked murderous. The soaked black clothes were clinging to his body, outlining a strong texture. His broad chest swayed with his breathing. It contained infinite power, as if he was ready to slaughter the enemy at any time into shreds, “You also know that you have nowhere to run. Have you figured out how to face the police?”

Qu Chengchen looked down at Shen Dai and Qiuqiu. He smiled: “If I knew you cared about him so much, I would have done it. In fact, I was surprised that you agreed so easily.”

Several figures came over from the villa. In the rainy night, Shen Dai couldn’t see their faces, but he knew that those messy alpha pheromones were also released from these people. This chaotic and dangerous night may not end only because Qu Moyu had found them.

“Don’t make any more trouble. Give them back to me!” Qu Moyu said coldly.

Qu Chengchen patted the roof of the car: “Come out.”

Shen Dai didn’t want Qiuqiu to be in a messy pheromone environment, so he got out of the car but he put Qiuqiu on the seat. He closed the door.

Qu Chengchen put his arms around Shen Dai’s shoulders and pointed to Qu Moyu. He said frivolously, “Look, sister-in-law. It’s really mighty for the eldest brother to come all the way to save the beauty. By the way, how did you find this place?”

“You Baiyue helped me find it.” Qu Moyu said mockingly, “Unexpected, right?”

Qu Chengchen was stunned and sneered: “I really didn’t expect it. However, even if you find them, you have to keep your promise.” He lowered his head and deliberately sniffed the back of Shen Dai’s neck, “Such a sweet and delicious omega has given you the perfect heir. It’s worth it for you to give me the chemical industry.”

The icy raindrops hit Shen Dai’s bare skin. It wasn’t a heavy downpour, but the raindrops were distinct. It danced on his tense nerves. The back of his neck seemed to be guillotined. Qu Chengchen seemed to have released his pheromones. It is a guillotine hanging around his neck.

“I have promised you. I will do as much as I said. Now let them go.” The blue veins on Qu Moyu’s forehead protruded. Anger flashed in his eyes. Qu Chengchen sniffed his omega’s glands. This was undoubtedly humiliation and provocation!

“Really? If I don’t have any chips in my hand, will my eldest brother still fulfil his promise?” Qu Chengchen looked at Qu Moyu with a smile and put his arms around Shen Dai’s waist recklessly. “When did my eldest brother have such a noble character?”

“Qu Chengchen!” Qu Moyu glared at him fiercely, “You. Are. Looking. For. Death.”

Shen Dai stiffened his body, enduring Qu Chengchen’s pheromones lingering around him. It was like poisonous snakes entangling around him.

“I’ve been thinking about it these past few days. How can I make you more miserable?” Qu Chengchen’s dark eyes glowed green, “If I ‘mark’ this omega, what would happen to you? You would also be helpless and desperate. Will you feel my pain and my late elder sister’s pain?”

Qu Moyu took a step forward, like a beast baring his teeth: “I dare you to do it.”

Qu Chengchen held Shen Dai tighter in his arms, his eyes full of hatred: “I’ve been pushed to this point by you. What else do I not dare do? Why can you get everything you want? Why do you always win? This time it might not be that way.”

Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai’s pale face. His heart was aching, “Qu Chengchen, are you crazy? Did I cause your eldest sister’s depression? Your existence hurt her more than my existence. That was because you are her own younger brother!”

“But you caused her more pain than me! You were born first!” Qu Chengchen roared, “You stole her brilliance and mine when you were born. All her hard work has been easily surpassed by you. All her pride has been trampled under your feet, as long as you are there, we will never be able to achieve our father’s expectations. Why? Why?!”

“Do you think this is what I want? Do you think I want to fight endlessly with you?” Qu Moyu wiped his face. The rain was falling and his eyes were bright, “It’s either you or me. I have no choice.”

Qu Chengchen let out a weird low smile.

“What do you want?” Qu Moyu roared. Even though Qu Chengchen is unarmed, he knows better than anyone how devastating damage an S-class alpha can cause to an omega using only pheromones. It’s not that he doesn’t know that Qu Chengchen hates him. He had been hostile since he can remember, but that’s all due to the contest of interests. He did not expect that the hatred was much deeper than he imagined. It might even exceed the pursuit of interests, which made him feel extremely chilled. This man is like a brother to him.

Qu Chengchen’s expression was already distorted: “I want to see you lose once.”

Shen Dai said hoarsely, “Your sister would not want to see this scene.”

“Shut up.” Qu Chengchen pinched the back of Shen Dai’s neck.

“Don’t touch him!” Qu Moyu snapped.

Qu Chengchen winked at his own people. The black-clothed man who kidnapped Shen Dai and his companion walked towards Qu Moyu, both of them had wounds on their bodies and faces. They were looking at Qu Moyu with fear in their eyes. They looked even more murderous.

“What are you going to do?” Shen Dai asked in a trembling voice.  

The man in black kicked Qu Moyu’s knee and pressed his shoulders with both hands, forcing him to kneel.

Qu Moyu turned his head and stared at them fiercely.

The two of them bite the bullet and hold down Qu Moyu. This feeling is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth.

Qu Chengchen lowered his head. His thin lips pressed against Shen Dai’s ear and he said in a volume where everyone could hear: “Sister-in-law, you washed off his ‘mark’ once. He is really nothing now. I will help you take revenge, okay?”

“Qu Chengchen, don’t do crazy things…” Shen Dai’s voice was trembling, “No matter what you want to… do, you will… regret it.”

Qu Chengchen’s eyes were bottomless. He stared deadly at Qu Moyu and he suddenly grinned: “The root of all pain is because there shouldn’t be two S-class alphas in one family.”

Shen Dai watched the man in black draw out a dazzling dagger. The sharp weapon shone under the cold silver light in the rainy night. He hissed: “Don’t—”

*Translator’s note: These family struggles are really getting me dizzy! Not really QCC or QMY’s faults. It’s the fault of their fathers and the fathers before that!!! They drove their own descendants crazy! -K
