put away your canines

Consciousness is lost and recovered in a very short time.

——Wei Chen looked around with the very weak light, and he felt his head throbbing again.

Judging from the extent of damage to the front of the car, he did the right thing.When Wei Jinming panicked, he chose to lift the handbrake, and with the automatic braking induced by the lidar, the braking force tightly hugged the tires in less than a second to prevent the vehicle from continuing to slide down.

However, due to the short reaction time, the driver's seat was still severely impacted.The vehicle was overturned, smelled of gasoline leaks, and some structures had been deformed.

Wei Chen pushed away a concave baffle, and after finding the fulcrum, he continued to move slightly outward.

He could feel the weight on his body, and the sound of shallow breathing.He stopped until he confirmed that the other party's breathing was not hindered when he moved, then he grabbed Wei Jinming's collar and dragged his brother who might lose consciousness at any time.

The upper body quickly flipped out of a broken window.But dragging a heavy Alpha made him unable to do what he wanted.What's more, the space inside the deformed car is too narrow to find any point of leverage.Wei Chen gritted his teeth, held his breath, and touched the grass as quickly as possible.

After leaving the scene, he pulled the unresponsive Wei Jinming behind a tree away from the leak point, sat down, and patted his face with his hands.

"Wei Jinming. Wake up."

The bleeding lips moved very slowly, and even the breath was extremely weak: "Brother..."

Wei Chen breathed a sigh of relief.Before calling the emergency number, he observed Wei Jinming's injury with the help of a flashlight.The child's ankle was bleeding all the time, and the specific situation was unclear, but the bones in the calf were already exposed.

Hearing his brother calling his name, Wei Jinming finally reacted.

"Brother." He tightly gripped Wei Chen's sleeve.He opened his mouth, and blood came out, "I was wrong, brother. I was wrong. You are an Omega, what if you get hurt?——What if you have any chance..." He trembled and cried, "I I didn't want to scare you, and I didn't want to hurt you...Brother, I don't even dare to think about it."

"Wei Jinming, look at me."

Wei Chen grabbed his chin to examine his face, and found that his eyes were out of focus at all—there might be blood on his head.He was speechless, took a deep breath, and began to slowly accept the oppression of the opponent's optic nerve.

"I'm fine." He interrupted his brother's follow-up questioning, and explained the situation concisely, "Your leg is injured, and the situation may be more serious than I thought. I'm going to call emergency now, and I need you to explain yourself hurt."

"Hmm." He sniffed and whispered, "Brother, are you really not hurt?"

"I don't like to say it twice. Shut up." Wei Chen picked up the phone whose screen was almost half broken, and pressed three number keys.At the moment when the thumb moved down, a hand came from behind his shoulder, pulled the phone away, and gently held his wrist.

Wei Chen froze for a moment, a chill suddenly shot up his entire back.The man's other hand was on his shoulder.The breath leaned closer and leaned against his ear obsessively, as if sniffing a tulip deeply.

"I said, we will meet again." He said in a hoarse voice, "Every second of parting from you is tormenting me. My lord."

When he followed the smell to find the scene of the accident, Yue Chuan felt that his heart was about to stop beating—there were several trails of dragging blood on the road where the isolation guardrail was damaged, and the car might have hit something here.

There was a scorching mark left by a section of the ground that was turned too fast, proving that the accident happened suddenly.The traces extend to the soil slope below the green belt.

The soil was lifted outwards, and the grass roots were pulled out messily.He looked from a distance, and the green belt moved down a third of the way.The taillights of the car flickered a few times, attracting him to stagger over.

I saw that most of the Bugatti's position close to the driver's seat had been crashed, and the leaked gasoline smelled very bad.He bent down and searched carefully towards the deformation point regardless of the danger.The raised metal baffles above the head creaked.There was a smell of blood here, strong and fresh.

But it wasn't Wei Chen's blood - he confirmed it over and over until his own heartbeat also slowed down.

He is not here.Yue Chuan looked up at the bloodstains on the rollover...and the footprints.The confusing evidence leads in many places, with countless interpretations.But apart from these, there was an existence in the air that made his scalp tingle.

——That's... the smell of Song Mingxun.

***

Wei Chen looked around, he didn't know how long this Audi had been driving on the winding mountain road.He only remembered that when he got into the car, there were still people dragging away the corpses lying on the road around the impact point-obviously, it was the work of cultists again.

"What are you going to do to my brother?" Wei Jinming's wound was treated briefly.He was lying weakly on the back seat, his body was next to Wei Chen on the right.He straightened up, bluffing, "I will protect him. Don't try to hurt my brother..."

"Protection?" Song Mingxun, who was in the co-pilot position, couldn't help but sneer, "Do you know why you didn't die?"

Wei Jinming froze all over.

"The car your brother drives. The braking system is top-notch. Not only does it automatically brake, but it takes less than a second to press the handbrake." He said, "His reaction is faster than you think, and he is also calmer than you." Much—so, who's protecting whom?"

"...Have you said enough?" Wei Chen looked at the passing street scene, the shadows under his eyelashes made people unable to figure it out.

"Sorry." Song Mingxun's apology came quickly, and his posture was very low, "I just wanted to invite you to dinner—of course, on the premise that no one disturbed me, I didn't expect your brother to be so excited. Good thing you're safe and sound."

"Your invitation is really ingenious." His tone was still the usual mockery, "Including your 'unexpected'."

"His injury will be dealt with by a special person, don't worry." Knowing that this topic is not good for him, Song Mingxun shifted the blame quite perceptively, "What else do you need after this? I am happy to provide it to you - a new set of clothes , the bathroom, or something else?"

"Song Mingxun. Kidnapping, invitation, and threat have always been clearly distinguished here. So the specific nature can only be determined by me." He looked over, and the smile in his eyes was so arrogant that it made people laugh I had to obey, "And what does your behavior mean to me. Want to hear it?"

The fingers on his arm unconsciously plucked into the flesh, he muttered and looked far ahead, at the end of the street lamp.An unrecognizable building outline was gradually outlined by the long night.

"...I want to hear it."

Wei Chen raised his chin contemptuously, the lines there were narrower, bony and aggressive.Under the beautiful pattern, the body without any emotional ups and downs is completely leaned into the soft seat.

"You are just a worthless dog," he said, "Why should I waste time on you if I can't get what I want in return?"

The vehicle quickly approached the back door of the building.Wei Chen looked up at the sign erected by the roadside, and froze immediately—it was the site of a high school that was facing demolition.It was the school he had attended but never looked back at once.

The underground entrance is located in the deserted gymnasium.

Before Wei Jinming was taken away by the doctor, he still looked at his elder brother reluctantly. He had a lot to say, but he had to give up due to the pain and blood loss.

Fortunately, Wei Chen is well aware of the current situation.He knew that with him around, the kid's injuries would be properly treated—but the accident just now was still vivid in his memory.Because of his momentary stupidity and impulsiveness, his most beloved car was destroyed.

This is not over.

So Wei Chen expressed his attitude by turning his head without thinking.

"You care more about your brother than I thought." Song Mingxun said behind him, "but judging from your attitude towards others and him, you don't like him."

"I raised him, and it's normal for people to pay attention to reciprocated feelings. Of course, I don't like someone who is not good for me for no reason." He glanced at him, "I want to greet you with a smile , this person must at least have something useful."

Song Mingxun whispered in his ear: "Is your current man also?"

"Of course." He turned his head indifferently.The distance is very close, so close that Song Mingxun has the illusion that he can desire more, "I like it secondly, and most importantly, he is a candidate who can replace you. What I want in the underground black market is not the core position, but the core position." Swallow it whole in your stomach."

"As long as you say a word, I can offer this kind of thing with both hands."

As if he had heard some interesting joke, he snorted and laughed: "As long as I say a word? As long as I say a word, there are too many people who are willing to offer things to me with both hands. But who can stand in front of me in the end , the decision rests with me."

Just like the original idea, Song Mingxun brought him to the underground black market that even RA couldn't reach.

Its most iconic building is an amphitheater, a stone structure modeled after the Colosseum.The area is close to four to five aprons. Whether it is the sinking height or the structure of the audience seats, the scale is amazing.

They walked through a special passage, instead of going through the auditorium, they entered the VIP area directly.The sculptures along the way caught Wei Chen's brief attention.

—— Along the way, all he saw were the handwriting of Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti.The main theme is war, surreal and oppressive, and it is also a symbol of wealth among the rich and powerful on the west coast.He never thought that Song Mingxun's power would expand to this extent. It was not unexpected, but it was not in his vision.

The glass stand where the VIPs are located is located on the uppermost floor of the auditorium, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are made of bulletproof materials, hanging firmly on the top of the theater.

The rooms are large and luxuriously furnished.The chandelier is unique in style, and most of the expensive oil paintings are framed in pure gold.The sandalwood bookcase against the wall has a variety of collections.The fire is on the right, and the overall light is warm and soft.

Looking down through the floor-to-ceiling glass, the audience entered the venue one after another.At this time, their location happened to be an excellent viewing angle.

"The sideshow hasn't started yet. Do you want to take a bath first?" Song Mingxun asked him, "The bathroom is ready for you. It contains the bath salt brand you used to use."

"You still remember." Wei Chen turned around and smiled at him, "Unfortunately, I have changed to a flavor I like better now."

"—Good evening, distinguished guest. It seems that we meet again." At the door of the bathroom, Wei Chen saw Jacob who had been waiting for a long time.When Shenzhu looked at him, he still had the undisguised frivolous eyes, and bowed deeply, "The last time we met, you left a deep impression on me." He smiled intriguingly.

"It's just...very deep?" Wei Chen took a leisurely look at him, and there was no warmth in his eyes, "It seems that the slap last time wasn't enough."

"You're kidding." Jacob knelt down and kissed his ring as a sign of submission.Before the magic stick returned to its previous posture, Wei Chen raised his hand and pressed a cigarette butt against his neck, crushed it, and it burned until it sizzled.

"Go and report to him." Wei Chen flicked away the cigarette butt, and walked past him to the bathroom, "This is a reward for your bow just now."

Jacob held his neck and laughed hoarsely.

The bathrooms are nicely decorated, mostly made of marble tiles.It also looks well prepared.Not only is there a separate cloakroom, but the shower, wash and bath areas all have their own unique designs, and the wall lamps are lit upwards - it is obvious that Song Mingxun has tried his best to please himself.From observing the environment, taking off his clothes to entering the bathtub, the process lasted only 15 minutes. Wei Chen soaked in a tub of lavender-scented soap bubbles. The small floating bubbles felt comfortable across his skin. He felt sleepy and his eyelids drooped. After a few clicks, they started sticking again.

Suddenly, at the moment when he was about to sink, he heard a very light movement outside the curtain.The sustainable time was too short, making it difficult for him to distinguish whether it was the sound of footsteps or the sound of water—but this problem was quickly wiped away by sleepiness.

Wei Chen opened the curtain to check his surroundings, and when he leaned out half of his body in doubt, a hand stretched out from the dead corner on the right and grabbed his thin chain violently.

"Woo-!"

"You have his scent on you." The attacker grabbed his neck and pinched it between his fingers as if punishing him. "Mr. Wei, are you dating him?"
