Part 2
Jiang Xuanshen had spent years in the military. Over a decade of combat training had long been engraved into his instincts. In contrast, Jiang Chenyan’s frame was much thinner than Jiang Xuanshen’s, and he hadn’t undergone systematic training. He relied entirely on a burst of ruthlessness. Before long, he was suppressed by Jiang Xuanshen.
“Don’t push yourself anymore.” Jiang Xuanshen’s palm pressed on the back of Jiang Chenyan’s neck, pinning his face firmly against the cold wall. His eyes were very deep. “Making a scene like this—is it interesting?”
“You stupid b*stard.” Jiang Chenyan gritted his teeth hard.
“How have you even learned to swear? Swearing because you can’t win?” Jiang Xuanshen’s gaze suddenly turned cold. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Chenyan’s hair, his fingertips firmly gripping the top of his head, forcing him to look up.
Jiang Chenyan was forced to tilt his neck high. The blood at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
Having provoked this mad dog, Jiang Xuanshen, how could he not get injured? He was trembling from the pain all over his body.
Jiang Chenyan’s skin was already pale. Right now, the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and the red marks grabbed onto his neck were still obvious in the dim light.
Jiang Xuanshen’s fingertips slowly stroked Jiang Chenyan’s neck. These marks didn’t look at all bothersome; on the contrary, they were quite pleasing to the eye…
“I should lock you up too, just like Xiao Yi, to save you from causing trouble.”
“Disgusting…” Jiang Chenyan’s stomach was churning. Physiological nausea rushed straight to his throat. This nearly pathological desire for control from Jiang Xuanshen—he detested it to his bones.
Just then, a slight noise came from behind.
Xiao Yi had crawled down from the bed at some point. Trembling all over, his hands were tightly gripping that floor lamp. Taking advantage of the moment Jiang Xuanshen was distracted, he slammed it hard toward the back of his head.
Jiang Xuanshen reacted extremely fast. He abruptly let go of Jiang Chenyan, turned sideways, and caught Xiao Yi’s wrist. The lamp hit the floor with a clatter.
“What? You’ve only been quiet for a few days and you want to make a scene again?” Jiang Xuanshen was completely enraged. He stared at Xiao Yi with a ruthless gaze, the force in his hands continuing to increase.
Xiao Yi’s face turned deathly pale from the pain, his body shaking like a leaf in the wind. He gritted his teeth hard and refused to let go.
Jiang Chenyan grabbed the lamp from the floor. Taking advantage of the gap while Jiang Xuanshen was suppressing Xiao Yi, he used all his strength and slammed it hard into the back of his head.
With a dull thud, Jiang Xuanshen’s body swayed. Blood instantly seeped from his temple.
The Alpha’s eyes turned crimson as he let out a cold laugh. Droplets of blood slid down his brow bone, blurring his vision.
Jiang Chenyan didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He raised the lamp again and slammed it hard against his head several times, thud-thud, without his hand shaking at all.
Jiang Xuanshen hadn’t expected Jiang Chenyan to be this ruthless. His body swayed and he fell heavily, becoming still.
Jiang Chenyan let go. The lamp hit the floor with a thump. He leaned against the wall and gasped for air, his heart beating frantically.
Looking at the motionless Jiang Xuanshen, Jiang Chenyan frowned. It wasn’t a big problem; he had to escape first.
Jiang Chenyan leaned against the wall to stand up. He walked quickly to Xiao Yi’s side and knelt down. His gaze fell on the chains around his ankles. Just as his fingertips touched the cold metal, Xiao Yi cowered and dodged away.
“Don’t be afraid.” He lowered his voice. “How do I open this chain? Is there a code or a key?”
Xiao Yi shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Jiang Xuanshen had never opened the lock; he wanted to imprison him for a lifetime.
Jiang Chenyan followed the chain to the lock body and pressed the protruding button. The screen of the combination lock lit up, and the light blue glow showed the prompt for a “6-digit code.”
[System, the code.]
The system was already dazed. The scene just now had been too bloody, and it wasn’t feeling well. [Host, those few times you hit him—the blood even splattered onto my lens. What if he dies?]
[Never mind that for now. I’m currently performing the code cracking.]
Jiang Chenyan calmed his heart, his consciousness sinking into his mind to synchronize with the system’s cracking interface.
The rolling code on the screen jumped rapidly. Common password combinations were filtered out one by one. The progress bar quickly climbed to 90%.
Almost there.
Jiang Chenyan withdrew from his consciousness. His fingertips hung over the combination lock. Just as he was about to press the numbers, Xiao Yi suddenly called out to him with a trembling voice, “Watch your back.”
It was already too late. A massive force suddenly hit from behind.
Jiang Xuanshen had awakened at some point. His temple was still bleeding as he picked up the lamp from the floor and slammed it hard against the back of Jiang Chenyan’s head, thud-thud.
Jiang Chenyan’s vision went dark, his head buzzed, and his body fell forward out of control.
What’s going on? A bug? How could Jiang Xuanshen recover that quickly?
“Thinking of running? Have you asked me?” Jiang Xuanshen’s voice carried a bloodthirsty coldness. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Chenyan’s hair, forcing him to look up. His blood-stained face approached him. “Thinking this bit of injury could trap me?”
He was beyond enraged. How could his precious younger brother hurt him?
Blood kept gushing from the wound on Jiang Chenyan’s head, flowing down his temple and behind his ear, soaking his hair into clumps.
The brothers finally looked a bit alike—both had several holes knocked into their heads.
Jiang Chenyan’s consciousness was gradually being swallowed by a tide. Everything before his eyes began to blur.
A sharp, stinging pain came from his chest, and a metallic taste rushed up his throat. A mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth without warning, dripping onto the cold floor and blooming into a small, piercing patch of red.
Staring at the blood constantly overflowing from Jiang Chenyan’s mouth and the wound on his head so deep it showed bone, Jiang Xuanshen knew to be panicked. The previous ruthlessness vanished instantly. “Jiang Chenyan.”
Jiang Chenyan’s eyelids were too heavy to lift. He only squeezed out one word by instinct: “Scram…”
His gaze pierced through his blurred vision and landed on Xiao Yi. Don’t just stand there, bash his head in.
“System, mental stimulant. Inject it immediately.” Jiang Chenyan’s voice was so raspy it could barely be heard. The blood constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth stained his collar. Every breath brought a tearing pain.
The system’s voice carried a worried electronic buzz: [Host, your intracranial bleeding hasn’t stabilized yet. Forcing the use of a mental stimulant will overdraw your body. Can you hold on?]
“I can…” Jiang Chenyan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a single word, his consciousness hanging on by a thread at the edge of collapse.
Seeing Jiang Chenyan close his eyes tightly, Jiang Xuanshen picked him up horizontally. “Hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Just as he turned to rush toward the door, Jiang Chenyan suddenly snapped his eyes open. His eyes were touched with a crimson glow from the effect of the mental stimulant.
He gripped the broken piece of the lamp he had just smashed. Taking advantage of the moment Jiang Xuanshen was distracted looking at the path, he slashed hard toward his carotid artery.
Jiang Xuanshen groaned in pain, his arms loosening. Jiang Chenyan rolled onto the floor with the momentum.
The mental stimulant gradually seeped into every part of his body. Jiang Chenyan became out of control. His ears were full of buzzing. He could feel a power constantly burning within him.
In the next second, a powerful pheromone that was suffocatingly intense swept out from his body—
It was a top-tier pheromone labeled as SS+. Carrying a crisp, cold fragrance unique to Omegas, it exploded with crushing power, instantly forcing Jiang Xuanshen back several steps.
Jiang Xuanshen’s face changed dramatically. His body trembled out of control. The powerful pheromone suppression made his knees go weak, and he fell heavily to the floor, without even the strength to lift his head.
This pheromone isn’t right. It doesn’t look like an Alpha’s, but it’s impossible for it to be an Omega’s.
How could an Omega’s pheromones suppress an Alpha’s?
As Jiang Xuanshen fell, Jiang Chenyan didn’t pause for a second. His fingertips tapped rapidly on the combination lock. With a click, the chains on Xiao Yi’s ankles fell open.
He grabbed Xiao Yi’s wrist, his voice carrying a tremor from the pheromone explosion, “Let’s go. We’re leaving now.”
