Chapter 39: Xie Huaijin Appears at the Auction; Xie Huaijin Wants to Buy Him
Jiang Chenyan let go with a look of disgust. The other was still lying on the floor, panting heavily.
The instructor still couldn’t help but let out a low curse, “Cough cough… Are you looking for death?”]
This Omega had definitely trained before, fuck.
The sound of urging from outside the door penetrated the thick door panel: “Is everything ready here? The guests are getting impatient. It’s time for you to go on stage.”
The person on the floor clutched his chest, his Adam’s apple rolling. Just as he was about to say something, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chenyan’s eyes, and he smashed another fist hard into the man’s jaw. The dull impact, mixed with a gasp, was exceptionally piercing in the narrow space.
Shrill cries of pain echoed in the sealed display stage. Jiang Chenyan frowned with impatience and reached out to shut the person on the floor up. But before his fingertips could touch the person, a scolding accompanied by footsteps burst in: “What the hell? You can’t even handle one Omega? You’re asking for it!”
The action of pushing the door was filled with rage. Upon seeing the scene in the room clearly, the person froze abruptly.
The anger on the man’s face instantly solidified, replaced by a face full of bewilderment.
The instructor was curled up on the floor, his face black and blue, while the Omega who was supposed to be guarded had vanished without a trace.
He instinctively reached for his communicator, wanting to issue an immediate alarm. At the moment the communicator was picked up, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and steadily grabbed his wrist. The man looked up in alarm; Jiang Chenyan was looking at him with a half-smile. On that clean face, a bloodstain on his forehead was exceptionally eye-catching.
The man’s expression changed drastically, his eyes instantly turning red with rage: “You’re fucking dead meat.”
Just an Omega, and he thinks he can defy the heavens? Scared the life out of him.
The words had just fallen when Jiang Chenyan had already rushed forward with clenched fists.
The man hadn’t expected this Omega to dare to move first. His reaction was extremely fast in his alarm and fury. While sidestepping to avoid the fist, he reached out and grabbed at Jiang Chenyan’s wrist, intending to use brute force for a capture and pin him directly to the floor.
Without waiting for the capture to settle, Jiang Chenyan dodged. He immediately bent his knees, his knees carrying sharp force as they kicked hard and fast toward the other’s knee pit. That was the most painful weak spot of the human body, and it caused the other’s movement to pause by half a beat.
Seizing the moment the man’s center of gravity was unstable, Jiang Chenyan exerted force to pin him down. His elbow pressed against the other’s chest, and his fists greeted his face without mercy, hitting the man until he cried out in pain repeatedly.
Seeing the instructor on the floor trying to move out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Chenyan simply reached out his foot to hook him overāa double beating.
He stood up and fished out a rope from a box, neatly wrapping it around their mouths and tying a knot, ensuring they couldn’t make any sound.
There were many display stages here. Each stage was a quiet, enclosed small space. The sound insulation wasn’t good, and it was always filled with the sounds of whipping and scolding. Chaos was the norm. Their bit of fighting commotion wouldn’t attract anyone else.
Jiang Chenyan’s fingertips lightly turned the stud in his ear. Under the lamps, the stud emitted a glint. He let out a nearly imperceptible sigh, unable to help it; it seemed like he had messed up a bit.
Fortunately, he had collected a lot of evidence; there shouldn’t be any major issues.
…
In the auction house, crystal lamps refracted dazzling light. Between the scent of perfume and elegant figures, all the guests wore magnificent masks, maintaining their decorum in the luxurious atmosphere. Some whispered in conversation, some held champagne while sizing up the surroundingsāit was a great contrast and fragmentation compared to the darkness behind the scenes.
Kai Lan and Mo Qingyu followed behind Shen Shiyue. Kai Lan felt it was strange and asked the person walking in front of him, “Shen Shiyue, what exactly is your background? This invitation isn’t something you can get just with money. How did you do it?”
Hearing this, Shen Shiyue didn’t stop his footsteps until he reached the exclusive seat marked ‘H’ and sat down. He then turned his head to give the two a look. Kai Lan and Mo Qingyu immediately reined in their expressions, standing on either side. Last night, the few of them drew lots, and the two were unlucky enough to play servants.
He looked at Kai Lan, “Now is not the time to talk about this. I’ll explain everything to you afterward.”
Kai Lan nodded, “Alright.”
The black stud in his right ear suddenly flashed with a micro-light. Jiang Chenyan’s voice, carrying a bit of hoarseness from the fight just now, came through: “I beat someone up.”
Kai Lan froze in place instantly, instinctively lowering his voice to follow up: “Wait? Who? Who did you beat up?”
“Someone playing the role of an instructor.” Jiang Chenyan’s tone was very calm, “But don’t worry, my identity isn’t exposed yet.”
After a moment of deliberation, he said, “But it might not stay that way.”
Shen Shiyue’s brows furrowed, “It’s fine. The evidence collection is almost done. We’ve already started contacting the people for pickup on our side. First, we’ll find a way to get you out.”
“Okay.” Jiang Chenyan responded, “Then I’ll find a hidden place to hide first. I’ve mostly figured out the layout and specifications of this place. I’ll draw a map and send it over later.”
Kai Lan: “No problem. You must be careful. We’ve already sneaked into the auction house; we’re in the audience seats.”
Jiang Chenyan was a bit shocked, “Impressive. How did you become guests?”
Shen Shiyue gave a light cough, interrupting the two, “Don’t ask too much now. There are many eyes and ears here. I’ll tell you later.”
“Alright.”
…
After the communication was hung up, Jiang Chenyan looked down at the two people who were unable to move on the floor, his gaze cold as ice.
He had to think about how to handle them.
Suddenly, the lights in the room went out without warning, plunging it into pitch-black darkness where one couldn’t see their own hand. A dull, loud bang exploded, and Jiang Chenyan clearly felt the display stage beneath his feet moving. The clack-clack sound of mechanical operation came from all directions.
The two on the floor were so anxious they trembled all over. Their sealed mouths could only make muffled “woo-woo” sounds, and heavy gasps rose and fell in the darkness; they were already in despair.
Jiang Chenyan didn’t understand, “What’s going on?”
Untilā
The light that suddenly lit up made Jiang Chenyan squint his eyes. The originally silent space was filled with enthusiastic cheers, exuding an eerie liveliness.
Jiang Chenyan frowned, his pupils constricting instantly. He quietly moved to the edge and looked out through a crack in the wooden boards, his whole being instantly freezing.
The audience seats were filled with people wearing masks, so dense he couldn’t see the end. In the front row, Luo De wore a silver mask, revealing only his sharp jawline. A meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth. Even from a distance, Jiang Chenyan could be certain that was him.
Only now did Jiang Chenyan belatedly understand.
So… this was the auction house. The display stage that moved just now was actually the passage leading to the auction platform.
No wonder the two on the floor were so agitated.
The noisy cheers made one’s heart flutter with irritation. Jiang Chenyan frowned, his fingertips brushing past the stud in his ear, sending a message to the three in the audience seats: “We’ll probably meet soon. Don’t be too surprised when the time comes.”
The three at the other end were bewildered, “?”
Jiang Chenyan’s gaze fell on the two struggling people on the floor. His brows knitted tighter, finally locking onto a half-person-high box.
Opening it, it was filled with cold “tools.” The corners of his mouth twitched, and he expressionlessly dumped the contents on the floor, then pushed the empty box in front of the two.
“Pick one.” Jiang Chenyan looked down at them, his tone leaving no room for negotiation, “Either crawl in yourselves, or I’ll throw you in myself.”
The two shook their heads in unison, their bodies cowering beside the box.
“It seems no one wants to choose.” Jiang Chenyan rolled up his sleeves, leaned over, and dragged the two into the box one by one. By the time he closed the box, his back was soaked with sweat. Just then, a loud microphone voice suddenly rang out in the hall, drowning out all the noise.
“Thank you for waiting! There are three auction items and four display items in this auction. Now, please welcome auction item number one!”
The wooden boards surrounding the display stage instantly slid to both sides, revealing the scene in the center.
A beautiful youth was slumped on the floor, wearing only a thin top, his legs bare. His cheeks and neck were flushed with an alluring crimsonāanyone could tell he had been drugged.
“An A-grade Omega. The heat period is approaching. You can use him directly after taking him home.” As the host’s introduction finished, whistling and bidding sounds rose from below.
The instructor roughly grabbed the youth’s hair, forcing him to tilt back his flushed face.
The cheers from below instantly lifted the roof. Those masked guests licked the youth’s exposed skin with greedy eyes. Applause and whistling merged into a mess.
Jiang Chenyan stood in the shadows. Listening to the host’s introduction and the rising cheers from below, his stomach churned, and a physiological sense of nausea rushed into his throat.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his breathing became hurried.
In the guest seats, subtle whispers constantly floated into his ears.
“I heard the grand finale of this auction is quite something, different from before.”
“To be the grand finale, the price definitely won’t be low. I wonder who will take it in the end…”
Kai Lan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. He pressed imprints into the armrests of his seat, a fire suppressed in his throat almost rushing out.
So disgusting. Truly so disgusting…
Mo Qingyu just quietly watched the youth on the stage being treated like a plaything, so pained he couldn’t speak.
He thought, who would the grand finale be? Why did he have an ominous feeling?
As the display items and auction items on stage exited one by one, the last “exhibit” stood alone in the center. The host took a deep breath, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: “Distinguished guests, the one before you is our rarest treasure tonight! Originally planned only for display and to be held until tomorrow’s official auction, a certain big shot heard the news and rushed to the scene overnight. To show our sincerity, we have temporarily decided to turn him into tonight’s grand finale!”
As these words were out, a roar erupted from below. Even Luo De, who had been sitting steadily in the front row, paused his fingertips and cast a gaze full of interest toward the center of the stage.
“Everyone, please lookāthis is a genuine SS+ grade Omega!” As the host’s words fell, the hall instantly fell into a short silence, followed by an even more fanatical commotion.
SS+ grade! Just this grade alone was enough to make everyone present go crazy for him.
Shen Shiyue’s expression darkened abruptly. He exchanged looks with Kai Lan and Mo Qingyu behind him. The same thought flashed through all three of their eyes. A strong sense of unease instantly seized them. Actually, they had long since had their suspicions; it was just a tacit understanding.
With the clack-clack sound of mechanical operation, the boards surrounding the center of the stage crashed down, revealing a person sitting with their head lowered. He still wore that washed-out old shirt, the hem stained with dust, looking a bit bedraggled.
Seeing this, the guests below began to discuss: “Not even an instructor watching nearby. As expected of a top-tier treasure, the treatment is just different.”
Only Luo De in the front row frowned tightly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the armrest. He had already sent an instructor to watch this Omega. How could he be alone?
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Chenyan finally looked up. The bloodstain on his cheek was clearly visible. The gaze beneath his brown hair was so cold it could freeze the air, completely out of place with the extravagance of the auction house.
It was exactly this wildness and detachment that instead made a fatal attraction exude from him. The breathing below paused for half a beat, and even the originally noisy discussions vanished instantly.
Especially with a pile of “tools” thrown beside him, it made their blood boil even more, their whole beings burning up. Dirty thoughts consumed their reason at every moment; desire reached its peak…
Shen Shiyue’s gaze was as cold as ice. He looked through the crowd and met Jiang Chenyan’s gaze. That look was short but clear. Jiang Chenyan instantly understood the meaning conveyed in the depths of his eyes: stay calm.
“The starting price is 6 million star coins!” With the host’s announcement, the atmosphere in the hall completely boiled over.
The Omega on the stage was both proud and beautiful. The guests below could no longer hold back, the greed in their eyes completely exposed like a pack of beasts staring at prey.
Bidding sounds rose and fell. Just then, a clear voice sliced through the noise: “20 million star coins.”
Everyone went quiet.
They all turned toward that Alpha in the front row who had raised his card. Jiang Chenyan also looked over blankly. That man wore a deep black suit, his profile lines sharp, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. Although he wore a mask that only revealed half his face, Jiang Chenyan could still recognize him.
Because this man’s lower face was exactly the same as Xie Huaijin’s.
Once this thought cropped up, all of Jiang Chenyan’s calm was scattered. The composure he had forced just now collapsed with a crash. It couldn’t really be Xie Huaijin, could it?
He didn’t dare think further. If this person really was Xie Huaijin, that would truly be… inconceivable.
Why would Xie Huaijin appear here?
…
On Shen Shiyue’s side, things were also in chaos. Kai Lan almost screamed out loud.
Kai Lan knew all the legendary figures of the Alliance Military Academy. How could this bidder look so much like that person from the Xie family??
He hadn’t even come back from his shock.
He then saw Shen Shiyue expressionlessly raise his card, “21 million star coins.”
