put away your canines

It was Jesse who brought Koshikawa back to the cafeteria.To be honest, he hadn't seen this dedicated secretary for a while.The other party lost a little weight, and his wrists were a little skinny, and he didn't seem to be used to the recent high-intensity work.

"Long time no see." When he opened the door of the cafeteria, Jesse smiled politely at him, "Do you really need to rest for a while?"

"fine."

"Wei Ke won't be lenient in this kind of thing." Jessie only gave him a sideways look, "If you want to..."

"It's okay." This was the first time Yue Chuan interrupted him.

"Okay." The secretary patted him on the shoulder and said, "I wish you all the best, son."

This is the only intact room on the first floor.There is no broken glass, and the tables and chairs are neat.Yue Chuan walked in and glanced around.

Most of the surviving children were arranged to rest here.A few bodyguards stood on both sides, silently maintaining order—but it was just order, and they did not intervene in some small-scale disputes.

After the inspection by Yuechuan, only a few familiar faces were confirmed.Everyone looked exhausted, sobbing and hugging each other in a corner wrapped in a blanket.

Unfortunately, he did not find Chi Ye.

His gaze finally settled on a blond boy—Ren.The white boy was gritting his teeth nervously, tapping his index finger on his arm in an irregular rhythm.

He leaned against the pillar, unleashing visible hostility.

Yue Chuan tilted his head subconsciously, and seemed to sense something the moment he clenched his teeth.He began to relax and return to his usual mood.Noticing this strange gaze, Ren looked back suspiciously.

The eyes of the two sides met in mid-air.

"You're not dead." Ren was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Why, you didn't listen to my advice and stay away from him? - He actually asked someone to send you here in person?"

Yue Chuan ignored him, walked in with his head down, and quickly found his original seat.

He sat down, and a mess of thoughts quickly squeezed the unhappiness brought by Ren to the corner of his brain.He looked at the wall clock still turning on the wall, the hour hand pointed to two o'clock in the morning, and the minute hand coincided with it.

- Love games.

Yue Chuan thought in a daze.In a few seconds, it will be the first hour after making out with the person you like.Although in the eyes of the other party, whether it is a confession or physical pleasure, it is nothing more than a game at best.

However, Wei Chen did not refuse.

Didn't refuse to mean, right now... myself and that person.

dating.

"Communication".Yue Chuan repeated this word in disbelief. For an hour, he chanted until his lips were tearing, and he didn't know where to put his tongue - what did he say to Wei Chen when he was dazzled by the pheromone?

Apart from how unconscious I was at the time and how wrong the occasion was, I have nothing to confess.He can't remember anything.

Everything is like a dream.

Being loved by that person.

Yue Chuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheek vigorously.He wanted to say to himself - this is true, don't doubt it anymore.Don't go to Wei Chen and ask a lot of stupid questions, and then... be laughed at by him.

At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder. "—Are you okay?" Yue Chuan broke away from the other party in fright, moved his body, and retreated a distance of two seats.

Jin was also frightened by him and apologized quickly.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you, I..."

Yue Chuan turned his toes in a different direction, and then sat back with a relaxed guard.

"fine."

During the period when the two were sitting one seat apart, but neither of them spoke, Jesse picked up the microphone and told everyone that the last vote would be held in two hours.In order to avoid the recurrence of previous problems, this time we will directly start live statistics.

After the speech, Jin beside him finally moved his lips.

"How are you?"

"Ah."

"That's good, we didn't see you when we evacuated. So I'm a little worried."

"Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me. It's okay. We all grew up together. It's normal for us to care about each other. Also, this is the last vote." Jin lowered his voice incoherently, "Cheer up ?”

"it is good."

"But don't worry. My choice is still the same as before. I won't vote for anyone."

"why."

"Because I don't know what the person whose name is written will go through." He said, "it is a very bad thing to decide whose fate."

"Ah."

Koshikawa didn't discuss Ikeno's matter with Jin, and the two just sat tacitly.Until a certain moment, Ren got up and walked to the front of the cafeteria.

"I know who burned the ballot box." He glanced at the children below, swallowing his Adam's apple.

While whispering, he raised his finger in a direction, and the jealousy in the depths of his eyes seemed to be burning.

"It's him."

Jin also looked over hesitantly.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the expressionless Yue Chuan.

***

The third floor has the only half-open window.

A dark brown bit with a broad breastbone and well-developed muscles, as strong as a calf, was grabbed by the iron chain around its neck, and its saliva flowed wantonly from the corner of its mouth.The bulldog bared his teeth, his nose wrinkled.

This Bit leaned forward again and again, its forelegs were off the ground, the iron chain was rattling, and it was about to break free and bite out at any moment.

However, the hand that grabbed the chain was full of elegance, lazy and peaceful, as if it didn't use much effort.

Wei Chen changed into his usual outfit.This time it was a set of ironed reddish-brown shirt vest, which was buttoned to the top as the light-colored shirt inside.

Behind a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, the extremely elegant facial features revealed a trace of inhuman arrogance.

Two bodyguards stood guard on both sides of the gate, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of them.And Vera stood behind Wei Chen with his hands behind his back, always on guard for possible threats.A chair was placed on the carpet in the center of the room, and an old man was tied to the chair.

Judging from his facial features, this is the director of the orphanage.

Mr. Fei.

"You're in such a hurry, Ross, you're scaring my guests." Wei Chen slowly put his hand on the corner of the bulldog's mouth.Bit immediately restrained himself, glanced at his master suspiciously, and then crouched down unwillingly.

"Good evening, Mr. Fei." Behind the wooden desk, Wei Chen also turned to the kidnapped man, with his palm casually resting on Rose's head—this bulldog, which could kill someone at any time, was desperately raising its head, coveting its master's focus on.

Wei Chen crossed his fingers and placed them on his chin.

"I invite you here so late because of an urgent matter. I hope Mr. Fei doesn't mind."

The old man was so frightened that he could not speak. It took a long time before he found his tongue.

"What are you doing, why are you doing this..."

"Isn't it obvious?" He raised his chin and said, "Someone has concealed something from me. And he still thinks that he can hide it."

"Mr. Wei, I don't think..."

"—On my territory." The tip of his right finger landed on the table, like an instruction.Rose got up brazenly, rushed towards the target direction, and the iron chain was so stretched that it almost broke.The bulldog barked almost frantically, "You'd better tell the truth."

Mr. Fei bit his lip and said nothing.

"Do you know what drew me here?" He patted Rose on the head, motioning for it to quiet down. "A ship, a ship full of drugs."

The old man's face became ugly, but he still didn't utter a word.Fortunately, Wei Chen was quite patient with this questioning.

"—there is no place on this island where a large amount of medicine can be stored, and they must be used within half a month. Therefore, the religious group will definitely choose a place with a high population density. They organize a tour group in an attempt to confuse me, It does play a role. I didn't even suspect you in the first place."

"What are you talking about..." The old man rolled his eyes uneasily.

"You seem to have transferred the ownership of the orphanage to me, but in fact, this does not prevent you from doing things for the church behind the scenes." He said, "There are, and only you can do this kind of thing. Concealed goods , to provide opportunities for cultists to mix into my territory."

"No, how could I do such a thing, you must have made a mistake!"

"——Jacob. Do you remember this person?" Wei Chen raised one leg slowly, "He was a new employee you hired at the beginning. He has an application and approval. He doesn't seem to have any problems. But there is nothing here. People have seen this poor man, as long as his information is spread, the cultists can find someone to replace him at any time. And this matter was found out by my people. Of course, the strangest thing is that you never intervened in this matter.”

"That's because... I didn't think anything would go wrong, so I—"

Wei Chen raised his hand and interrupted, "I'm curious. Why did you accept those medicines from unknown sources, and... tacitly allow them to pollute the orphanage's water source."

"It's not me. It's not me." The old man shook his head desperately.

"Mr. Fei seems to think that I am a person who obeys the rules." He raised the iron chain in his hand as if showing off, and slowly let go of his thumb and index finger.Seeing this, Bit was even more excited, "It's a pity, as long as it's what I want, I don't care about the means."

He just hooked it with the remaining three fingers.Obviously, once this bit has an attack tendency, the iron chain will be quickly dropped.

"Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Wei—"

"Then answer my question." He put one leg on his knee and said, "Of course, I think it's better to let you suffer a little bit first..." He reached for Bit's chin and stroked it a few times, The bulldog panted anxiously, raised its paws to rest on its owner's hand, and wagged its tail wildly.

And the iron chain that determines fate is about to be thrown aside by him.

"Wait... wait—money!" Mr. Fei yelled in panic, "They, they said they would give me a sum of money. You know, we have no sponsorship, no government support, and we will soon At risk of going out of business, these kids will have nowhere to go!"

"continue."

"But as long as they are allowed to test this new type of drug on children, I can..." He thought of something, and quickly added, "Jacob found me and talked to me, and I really don't know the rest !"

"That's it." Wei Chen leaned back thoughtfully, the soft leather sofa relieved the pain in his shoulders and neck, "Do you know why I chose this location this time?"

"Is it because it is convenient to ask questions?"

"No." He smiled, "Because I have a child who is very interested."

Shocked by the sudden turning point, Mr. Fei couldn't remember it: "You are..."

"Why are you so reserved, Mr. Fei. When we first met, you and I talked so happily. I kind of miss that feeling."

"No." The old man lowered his head, not daring to meet him, "I'm now..."

"Don't be nervous, I know the rules here." Wei Chen deliberately bit the tip of his tongue and said to him, "If I want that child, how much do you need me to 'invest'?"

"You, you can take it away... Really no need!"

"That's not acceptable." He said, "Mr. Fei sold me out for those small sums of money. Of course I have to work hard to redeem your loyalty."

"No—really no."

"You did not reject my position."

Under the oppression of power and the threat of his life, Mr. Fei had no choice but to follow his train of thought: "Who... do you want to take away?"

"Yuechuan."

After a few seconds of pause. "Yuechuan, that kid? I remembered that it was a kid sent by the army. But I don't know anything about the rest of the situation. All I remember is that this kid is very capable, but unfortunately he doesn't like to talk. Otherwise, he would have He was adopted away." The old man stretched out four fingers tremblingly, "This number is enough..."

Wei Chen seemed to be amused by the price he offered.

"What's the matter?" The old man watched his expression nervously.

"Too little. Not even my psychological price." He snapped his fingers, and then several bodyguards walked into the room carrying seven suitcases.Under his instructions, these boxes were placed on the table, opened and inspected one by one in front of Mr. Fei.

It was a box full of euros of the largest denominations.

Mr. Fei looked up at him in disbelief: "Mr. Wei, this is..."

"I use these 'investments' to exchange the ownership of that child." Omega raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "How?"

"This..." Mr. Fei looked at the box of cash in bewilderment, and then at Wei Chen who was so rich that he didn't even blink.

"Don't worry. The inside is genuine. Getting this amount of counterfeit banknotes is more troublesome than digging out the treasury." With his palms up, he spread his hands and said, "Do you want to take a closer look? Or are you dissatisfied with the price I offered? ?”

"No, no need. Really, enough." The old man said tremblingly, "I believe in you."

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Fei. Happy transaction." Wei Chen stood up and led Bit at his feet towards the door. "Remember to go through all the formalities. You know, I always hate after-sales service."

When passing by the nodding old man, Bit drooled and looked up at his master.It shook its head a few times, and let out a short growl from its throat.

But Wei Chen didn't pay attention to it, so Ross had no choice but to follow him step by step.

"Wei." Vera leaned into his ear and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I guess the voting has come to an end." He didn't look back, "Don't you want to see? The Alpha I selected with a lot of money, how will I deal with the trap I set?"

What happened next was just as Wei Chen expected.

When Omega pushed open the cafeteria door, the ashen-faced Ren was already standing on the stage. He threw an interesting look and smiled ambiguously at the helpless white boy.

Then, he leaned slightly and deliberately made a mouth shape.

"Do you like the gift I gave you?"

In the next second, Ren rushed down the stage and grabbed his collar, throwing him against the wall.

Wei Chen didn't pay any attention to it, he turned his head slowly and stared at a certain point in the crowd.The red and swollen lips fluttered a few times.

"A Yue, my clothes are wrinkled." He pointed to his collar, turned the ring on his thumb clockwise, and sighed hypocritically, "What can I do?"
