淫欲的代价

Zhang Jun banged the doors of the mansion open and went straight to the living room. "Where is he?!" The adults were shocked stiff and Li Shiyu ushered the kids upstairs.

Once Li Shiyu returned, his eyes widened as he took in the alpha\'s crazy state. He rushed over to hold Zhang Jun\'s arms. "Jun, what\'s wrong? I thought the issue with the police was resolved. Is it a problem at work?"

Zhang Jun turned silent and bowed his head. The family head saw this and dread pooled in his stomach. He was well aware of the reason Zhang Jun had gone over to the company straight from the police station. What he did not understand was Li Yexi\'s involvement in whatever situation it is that went down.

PING!

The sound of the family head\'s phone notification went off. The older alpha looked at his phone and immediately started hyperventilating. The Zhang madam rushed over to her husband to stroke his back.

Once the family head was calm again he walked over to the stairs. "LI YEXI!"

Li Shiyu sent an alarmed look at Zhang Jun. "Jun, what is happening? Do not keep silent, look even father is angry." The Zhang madam also looked to her son for answers.

Zhang Jun kept clenching and unclenching his fists so the family head told them the events of the meeting instead. The Zhang madam\'s face turned red from rage. "THAT SHAMELESS OMEGA!"

He Yuan finally walked down the stairs, slowly and surely. He was taking a nap and didn\'t even bother to check the video feed when he heard them call for him. What was it this time? Why wouldn\'t this family let him have peace? He was already pissed off that he couldn\'t figure out what was wrong with this realm and now he had to deal with their adult tantrums. Sigh.

The family head pointed a shaky finger at He Yuan. "Li. Yexi. How dare you?! What gave you the right to sell off the Zhang family shares?!"

He Yuan gave the old man an amused look. They finally found out. Okay, but why did they all look like someone died? He observed Zhang Jun\'s crestfallen look. The alpha was trembling from so much rage that he didn\'t even bother to look up.

The entire situation seemed off. The shares rightfully belonged to Li Yexi so however he chose to use it was none of their concern. The fact that they were causing so much drama because of another person\'s property was so ridiculous, unless~"888? Do you think Zhang Jun was finally booted out of the CEO chair?"

[Most likely, yes.]

Ha! He knew it. These selfish assholes were only hollering because Zhang Jun lost the position. With how badly they constantly humiliated Li Yexi, it was quite funny that they expected the omega to always be on their side.

They wanted Li Yexi to pledge his all to Zhang Jun whilst the adulterous alpha ran off to Li Shiyu to profess love and devotion. If the two wanted to be in love, then no one was stopping them, the only problem here was that they built the temple of their love atop a foundation of Li Yexi\'s pain.

In Li Yexi\'s original life, five months was all it took to completely ruin his life. Two months after Li Shiyu returned, Zhang Jun and kids started plotting against the Li corporation, in three months, the Li corporation was destroyed, Li Anjing landed in prison and Li Shiyu was given a refurbished Li corporation.

In four months, Li Shu was forcefully turned to a drug addict and also ended up in jail, Li Yexi miscarried the child he\'d always been hoping for and he was raped, framed and divorced. In the fifth month, Li Yexi lost the last of his savings to a con scheme orchestrated by the kids and finally, he was trafficked to a whorehouse.

Five months. That was all it took and all because of what? The omega wanted to be with the alpha he loved. He Yuan was pretty sure that if Li Yexi was given time to adjust, he would have agreed to leave Zhang Jun in the end, if not for anything but the alpha\'s "happiness".

But no, he was instead faced with his husband loving and pampering his cousin, the cousin in question constantly throwing shades at him with veiled bullets and words with double meaning. His cousin\'s kids throwing loads upon loads of their "naughty" schemes his way.

Throughout the entirety of this situation, not once did Li Yexi ever entertain the thought of harming any of them.

Why didn\'t they just leave him alone? They wanted him to divorce Zhang Jun but did they ever, even once, consider the amount of heartache he was going through? The walls of familial protection he had all his life came crashing down and all he had left was his husband.

At that point in his life the thing he needed most was a semblance of normalcy, the man he loved to just say a nice word, just one, to anchor his sanity. Instead, all he got was the information that his own husband was behind all the troubles in his family and all for what? His own cousin, who was by right, also a family member of the Lis.

Li Shiyu always acted like he was unaware but how was that possible? Li Yexi\'s entire family came crashing down, it was all over the news yet Li Shiyu \'had no idea.\' He was innocent, he never asked Zhang Jun to take revenge on his behalf.

Li Yexi\'s biggest mistake, was the fact that he was so understanding of Li Shiyu that he gave the omega free way in his home and the fact that he deluded himself that Zhang Jun cared.

The atmosphere suddenly came to a pause.

He Yuan\'s eyes reddened slightly because he understood Li Yexi\'s desperation. It was exactly the same desperation he had felt growing up on the streets in his origin world. He never asked for much, a dirty and hungry child, all he wanted was warm food, shelter and familial warmth.

He would never forget the hate he received in return, like wanting those things was unimaginable. Why were they punished for attachments that was beyond their control? If the Zhangs never went to Li Yexi then he would never have gotten attached.

He Yuan trembled. If his own parents never showed up then he wouldn\'t have dared to hope~

888 frowned when he took in his host\'s state. It was happening again and the leaser\'s soul thread was beginning to trigger He Yuan\'s emotions. [He Yuan.]

No answer.

[He Yuan.]

Silence.

[Shit.] 888 materialized behind He Yuan, he made sure to do so in a blind spot. Even if he was invisible to the inhabitants of the realms, the special ones were a different issue. They wouldn\'t see him but they might detect the shift in the atmosphere. He was already taking a risk by trying to interfere.

He placed a palm on Li Yexi\'s back and his hand disappeared into the leaser\'s skin. He Yuan\'s soul energy was truly too thin and was quite easy to overpower. 888 searched until he had a firm grip on He Yuan\'s soul and pulled on it, he was a low leveled system so he couldn\'t do much.

The stillness in the atmosphere suddenly uplifted the minute He Yuan gasped. 888 dematerialized quickly. He Yuan looked around the Zhang family members, he felt as if something happened but he couldn\'t remember. He shrugged.

He blinked at the angry adults and mocked a dumbfounded look. "You all know I don\'t know anything about business. One of the days when I was feeling low and sad because Zhang Jun repeatedly hurt my feelings, I decided to sell off the shares I own because they reminded me of him.

-I even planned to sell them off to a rival company." He placed a palm on his chest. "But I couldn\'t bring myself to do it so I sold it off to one of the board members instead. This way, the shares would remain in the company. Zhang Jun you should be glad, even at my lowest I couldn\'t bring myself to hurt you."

The Zhang madam exploded. "Li Yexi! How could you be so shameless? What do you mean by the shares reminded you of Zhang Jun? How could you spout so much bullshit with a straight face? Why don\'t you just sell off this house since staying here and seeing Zhang Jun everyday might hurt you?!"

He Yuan had to bite the inside of his lips to stop himself from laughing out. He then proceeded to look over to Zhang Jun with mock remorse in his eyes. "I was just too sad that day." He sighed dramatically. "Zhang Jun, if it makes you feel better, you could sell off the Li corporation shares that you own to get back at me."

BANG!

The centre table crashed into the wall where He Yuan had been standing and broke into pieces.

He Yuan\'s eyes widened. It was a good thing he had dodged in time, else he would\'ve been smashed to meat paste! He looked to Zhang Jun, who was heaving with so much repressed anger and then he placed a hand over his chest.

"Zhang Jun, I know you hate me but you should know that I already agreed to the divorce. Was there any need to take such drastic measures in order to get rid of me?"

Zhang Jun ignored He Yuan\'s words and rushed at him. He Yuan\'s eyes widened, there was no way he was staying here to court death. He turned tail and ran out of the door. He had just opened the door when he crashed into someone\'s chest.

The owner of said chest placed his hands on He Yuan\'s shoulders to steady him and then pulled out an ID from his wallet.

The police were here again and this time, they brought with them the special investigation bureau.

It seemed they meant official business this time.
