       After that, everything became a torment. Chu Yichen’s words were like a sharp sword hanging over his head, making him so panicked that he couldn’t eat anything and couldn’t sleep at night. He was thinking about how to escape from the old house every moment.

       As soon as he left the room, there were two men in black following him, like shadows that couldn’t be shaken off. All the bodyguards in the main house who were familiar with him in the past were replaced. They all treated him respectfully but ignored any of his requests. It was impossible to get a mobile phone.

       After trying many methods, he finally came to the conclusion that he couldn’t escape at all.

       What with this ridiculous and weird situation? He was like a sacrifice, trapped in the devil’s castle and might be eaten at any time. Seeing that the big devil’s return was approaching, Chu Yunhan was completely panicked.

       Since all other methods were useless, the only option left was to break through.

       He found a reason and ordered two bodyguards to move flowers in the yard. He knocked one out cleanly with a flower pot and then used the fighting skills he had learned to knock down the other. He hadn’t done physical training for a long time, and he had been tortured so hard by Chu Yichen before that his body hadn’t recovered yet. He was out of breath for a while just dealing with two people.

       CChu Yunhan remembered that there was a rockery in the backyard close to the wall. After winding through several obstacles, he finally reached his destination. Seeing that there was no guard, he suddenly felt a surge of joy in his heart. After a lot of effort, he climbed up the wall, only to see Bai Xiao standing outside the wall, holding his arms and looking up at him, showing his fangs, and smiled sarcastically, “Seeing you trying so hard to escape, I really don’t want to let them disturb you. However, the young master has instructed you not to leave this courtyard. So, would you like to retreat on your own, or should I lend you a hand?”

       The little flame of hope that Chu Yunhan had just ignited while climbing on the wall was snuffed out, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He should have realised earlier that under Chu Yichen’s rule, there could never be a situation where the guards were lax. It must have been Bai Xiao who deliberately dismissed the guards to watch him struggle. Like his master, this guy was also a vengeful guy. He knocked him out last time, and now he was waiting to see him make a fool of himself. Bai Xiao’s skills were among the best in the Black Eagle Club. If Bai Xiao hadn’t been defenceless, he would never have succeeded last time.

       However, the arrow had to be fired when it was on the string. It would definitely not end well if he was caught back. Even if he knew he was no match, all he could do was force his way in and try it.

       He jumped down from the wall, but his landing was unstable. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

       “Young Master Yun, I think you’d better save some energy; Young Master will return in the evening.” Bai Xiao didn’t move even a little, taunting him leisurely. There was something in these ambiguous words that made Chu Yunhan’s face burn hot, and he kicked the opponent.

       Although it was called a duel, it was more like a sparring session. Bai Xiao didn’t even fight back, simply acting as a sparring partner, effortlessly deflecting Chu Yunhan’s attacks. Chu Yunhan knew his stamina was lacking and that he wouldn’t be able to defeat Bai Xiao anytime soon, making him increasingly anxious and causing him to make numerous mistakes.

       After a few moves, Bai Xiao grabbed his arm and twisted it neatly behind his back. The pain made him grimace, and said, “Damn it, let go!”

       “Young Master has instructed you to stay home obediently. Please go back, alright?”

       This coaxing attitude made Chu Yunhan furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “So obedient to Chu Yichen, huh? Did he give you a bone to chew on? You just don’t want to be a good person, but you just have to be a dog for that psycho!” Just after he finished his words, there was a huge pain in his arm. He couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

       Bai Xiao’s gloomy voice came from behind, “Young Master Yun, you should be lucky that I am obedient. Otherwise, based on what you did to him, I would never let you live.”

       “Ugh…” The bone-crushing pain made Chu Yunhan’s face turn pale, rendering him speechless. Soon, several bodyguards surrounded him and dragged him back to the room. They didn’t even let him leave this time, and dinner was brought directly to his room.

       As time passed by, the anxiety and restlessness grew silently and rapidly like vines, entangled him until he couldn’t breathe. When there was a knock on the door, he jumped up from the sofa like a fish and looked nervously at Du Chuan who appeared at the door.

       “Young master asks you to go to the basement.”

 

       There was a very large basement under the main house of the Chu family’s old house. Special materials were used in the construction, making it soundproof, waterproof, and so sturdy it could withstand missiles. Previously, the old man used it as a conference room to discuss the secret affairs of the Black Eagle Groups. Later, Chu Yu constructed a similar one under the Golden Eagle headquarters for meetings, leaving this one unused.

       The black steel door of the basement added a mysterious and eerie atmosphere to the room. When Chu Yunhan and his siblings were children, they often went there to ‘explore’ or play games. He vividly remembered one time when he, Chu Yichen, and Chu Minran were playing a game of tag, and the bodyguards, not paying attention, accidentally locked all three of them inside. The lights went out, leaving them in complete darkness. Terrified, Chu Yunhan kept banging on the door while Minran cried beside him. Meanwhile, Chu Yichen held Minran and comforted Minran while telling Chu Yunhan to conserve his energy and stop shouting in vain. The three of them waited quietly until dinner time when a servant finally came to find them.

       Looking back, Chu Yichen showed a maturity and calmness that was inconsistent with his age as a child. In many cases, he was more like an elder brother than him. Perhaps this was why the old man chose him as his successor. It was a pity that he was always unwilling to admit it in the past and had even fantasised about replacing him.

       Chu Yunhan smiled bitterly and pushed open the heavy door.

       The sensor lights gradually lit up row by row. He looked at the basement, which had been transformed beyond recognition, and froze in place.

       The first thing that caught his eye was the single black sofa that sat in the middle of the basement. Then, there was the tall torture rack standing near it, the metal material glowing coldly under the lamp. The walls were decorated with soft cloth, and high up were many whips hanging neatly in different colours and styles. The lower part was full of half-half-high cabinets. When Chu Yunhan stepped in, he discovered that the floor was covered with thick cashmere carpet. He opened the cabinet drawer closest to him and felt a chill all over his body.

       Various handcuffs were placed inside, including steel ring ones, rubber ones, and fabric materials with lace edges. There were keys next to the handcuffs, arranged neatly by serial number. He opened a different cabinet, and various gags appeared before him. Next, there were electric toys of various sizes and weird shapes. Chu Yunhan looked at one of the thick spiral massage sticks. That night flashed through his mind, and he slammed the drawer shut, unwilling to look at it again.

       Some large appliances were placed in the corner of the basement, including a broken life-size doll, a wooden thing that looked like a horse, several massage tables of different styles, and some weird-looking things. Chu Yunhan couldn’t guess the purpose and just thought it was somewhat scary.

       Inside the basement, two smaller rooms were sectioned off with tempered glass. One seemed to be a dressing room filled with various men’s clothing. Among them, a few items appeared to be made of rubber. On the shelves were numerous pieces of lingerie and accessories that resembled jewellery. The other room was a bathroom with a dry and wet separation design. It featured a large, round massage bathtub, while the shower area had a movable plastic chair. Beside the toilet hung a pressure sprayer, adding an unusual touch to the setup.

       He already had a rough idea of ​​what this place was, and he felt his heart grow cold. He was about to leave, but when he turned around and saw the person standing at the door, he was so frightened that he took half a step back, “Chu…Chu Yichen…” He was so frightened that he couldn’t speak clearly.

       The man wore a black long-sleeved shirt, and under the light, his skin appeared strikingly pale, reminiscent of a handsome yet sinister vampire. He exuded an aura of cold detachment, a chilling presence that warned others to stay away.

       “You’ve had a tour. Did you like it?” Chu Yichen looked at him.

       “Why is this place… like this?” Chu Yunhan had an answer in his mind, but he still couldn’t help but ask.

       “Since the day I began my education as an heir, I’ve learned to control my emotions. As the decision-maker of the Chu family, I cannot afford any irrational actions. Every word, every move, every decision requires deep contemplation, yet often, the time given for this reflection is limited. This forces me to always maintain a state of being able to make ‘correct decisions’ while also keeping everything firmly under my control. This extreme control over myself and others brings immense pressure, nearly destroying me.” The man picked up a horizontally placed rigid riding crop from the wall, about sixty to seventy centimetres long, with an exquisitely engraved silver handle and a soft leather tip at the end. He tapped the whip against his palm and continued, “I need a way to release this pressure while also satisfying my desire for control. Therefore, BDSM is my best option.”

       Chu Yunhan looked around and swallowed hard. Even if he didn’t know what BDSM was, he could understand it just by looking at the furnishings in the house. He recalled what Chu Yichen had done to him that night and then thought about the purpose of calling him here. Suddenly, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

       Just listen to Chu Yichen continue to say, “BDSM includes three components: bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism. Compared to SM, I prefer deriving pleasure from the first two. In the ‘dominance and submission’ relationship, the dominant is referred to as ‘dom,’ and the submissive is referred to as ‘sub.’ A further extension of this relationship is called the master-slave relationship. The dom and sub evolve into a master and a slave, representing the party that holds power versus the party that has lost power, the one issuing commands versus the one executing them, the one responsible for training versus the one receiving training. I am a pure dom, existing as the dominant party, and need to engage in BDSM sexual play together with a sub.”

       Chu Yunhan’s heart beat like a drum, and he said dryly, “Your hobby is quite…quite special. I heard that there are people who do this in the circle. Why don’t I help you inquire and see if they know anyone interested in this area? I can introduce some girls to you.”

       Chu Yichen looked at him with his pitch-black eyes, “Unfortunately, I am a homosexual. The opposite sex does not arouse my interest. And as the head of the Chu family, I need a safe and reliable sexual partner to ensure that all his actions are always under my control.” The man turned the whip in his hand and said calmly, “Now you should understand why I asked you to come here.”

       Chu Yunhan jolted awake abruptly. After a few seconds of blankness, his brain identified the Chinese overhead lamp on the ceiling, which had the familiar pattern of white cranes and auspicious clouds on it.

       His head felt a little dizzy, and the strength in his body seemed to have been drained, making him feel limp. He moved and found that there was a needle stuck in the back of his hand, and he was being given fluids. His senses gradually came to life, and it felt like his waist was broken below, and his thighs were so sore. The stickiness in the back hole was gone as if some cool ointment had been applied, but the discomfort after being penetrated still remained. Under the thin blanket, he wore loose cotton pyjamas, covering up the dirty marks. However, every inch of his body reminded him that the horrific insults last night were not an illusion.

       Chu Yichen r4p3d him in a brutal way while he cried and begged for mercy under him. He was fvcked with his buttocks raised until he passed out. Fragments of those scenes flooded back into his mind, making him tremble.

       “Bastard…” He cursed through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse, and his throat felt dry and painful. Shame and anger burned like fire inside him. Chu Yunhan ripped off the needle and forced himself to get out of bed. Unfortunately, his physical coordination and strength hadn’t fully recovered yet, and the movement tugged at the pain in his body. His legs gave way, and he collapsed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

       The door opened in response, and Du Chuan walked in quickly and ordered, “Quickly help him up.”

       Two bodyguards immediately picked him up and placed him on the bed again.

       “Young Master Yun.” Du Chuan covered him with a thin blanket, handed him a glass of water, and said, “Drink some warm water.”

       Chu Yunhan waved the cup away irritably. The porcelain cup rolled to the ground, shattered instantly, and water spilt all over the housekeeper.

       Du Chuan poured another glass of water and calmly advised, “You have a fever and need to hydrate.”

       “Don’t you dare to pretend to be kind! It’s not because of him that I’m like this…” His words ended here, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily, “Get out!”

       When the housekeeper saw that he was angry, he stopped trying to persuade him and said, “I’ll put the water here. Have a good rest.” Then he closed the door and left.

       Chu Yunhan stared at the ceiling for a long time and finally closed his eyes tiredly. Breakfast and lunch were brought to the room, but he didn’t touch them. He was like a wounded animal in a cage, curling up into a ball and hiding under the quilt. The rising and falling heat made him drift into a daze. When he woke up again, the sun was already setting outside the window.

       The infusion needle was re-inserted into the back of his hand, and his wrists were bound by wide leather straps and fixed to both sides of the bed, obviously to prevent him from pulling out the needle again.

       Chu Yunhan smiled bitterly. As expected of Chu Yichen’s butler, even his behaviour was exactly the same.

       Since he couldn’t break free, there was no need to waste his efforts, not to mention that he couldn’t use even half of his strength now. The infusion replenished the body with water, and he felt the urge to urinate unconsciously. He frowned and shouted, “Someone, I need to go to the toilet.”

       After a while, Du Chuan came in with some people. The girl, who looked like a nurse, took his temperature and pulled out the needle. The two bodyguards untied his hands, slowly lifted him, and carried him from side to side into the bathroom. Chu Yunhan barely stood firm. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of going out, he said coldly, “Why? Are you guys going to watch me pee?”

       The bodyguards looked at Du Chuan in unison, and the housekeeper nodded slightly before letting go of him and exiting.

       He obviously had the urge to urinate, but because his front end was tortured by those restrictions last night, he instinctively restrained himself and couldn’t urinate even a little bit. This feeling of complete loss of control of the body was extremely painful. He lowered his head, supported the wall with his hands, yelled at the top of his lungs, and punched the wall so hard that blood oozed from the bones of his hand.

       The people outside the door heard the noise and pushed the door open.

       “Get out! Get out!” Chu Yunhan roared, grabbing the cup on the shelf and throwing it at the door, “Get out of here!”

       The ceramic cup hit the man who came in, fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

       “Who are you telling to get out?”

       When the cold and deep voice sounded, he involuntarily tensed up and took half a step back. There was unconcealable panic in his barely calm expression.

       What should be said? What else could be said? He didn’t know. At this moment, facing Chu Yichen, he just wanted to run away.

       However, the other party pressed his back against the door and locked it. The man’s eyes glanced at his bleeding hands and the trousers he had pulled up in a hurry and said calmly, “You can’t urinate, can you?”

       Chu Yunhan, who was exposed by his words, raised his eyes angrily and glared at him.

       The man slowly approached, and just as Chu Yunhan tried to dodge, the man grabbed his arm, forcing him to turn and face the toilet. Restraining his resistance from behind, the man said coldly, “You already tasted the feeling of irritating me last night. Do you want to continue today?”

       The warning, along with a strong sense of oppression, made Chu Yunhan freeze completely.

       He was a man of his word and would not show mercy.

       Chu Yichen used a cruel method to make him understand his style of dealing with things and the consequences of trying to resist. The remaining pain in his body had not gone away, so he did not dare to move anymore and allowed the other party to take off his pyjamas. When the person behind him raised his c0ck to the toilet with warm hands, Chu Yunhan said with a red face and stiff face, “Don’t, don’t do this…”

       “I’ll give you a minute. If you can’t urinate…” The man straightened his waist, letting his lower abdomen fit closer to his buttocks. His warm breath lingered in his ears with ambiguity, but his voice was cold, “I’ll thrust into your little mouth behind and fvck you until you can’t control your urine.”

       Chu Yunhan was shocked as if struck by lightning, and said in horror, “You…can’t do this.”

       “Fifty seconds left.”

       “No…” He stood in a panic, trying to concentrate. However, it was harder to let it go because of shame and nervousness, “Wait… I can’t…”

       “Fifteen seconds left.”

       He wanted to beg for mercy, but the clock behind him didn’t stop. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he finally let out a sad whimper. His lower abdomen tightened, and yellowish-hot fluid spurted out. At that moment, Chu Yunhan’s mind went blank.

       Tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

       He was finally forced into such an unbearable situation.

       The man let go of him, washed his hands, went out and said to Du Chuan, “Take him downstairs for dinner.”

       Chu Yunhan hung his head in the bathroom. He stood slumped like a puppet that had lost its soul, his eyes filled with tears of humiliation.

 

       It was unusually quiet at the dinner table. Chu Yichen ate slowly. Chu Yunhan, who was sitting opposite, felt uncomfortable all over and had no appetite at all. He just sat silently and stared at the food in front of him.

       When Old Master Chu was still alive, he enjoyed having meals with his grandchildren. He disliked how Western dining tables felt too distant, so he arranged a small round redwood table in the dining room of the side hall. When they were young, they loved crawling under it to play. Once the tablecloth was dr4p3d down, it became a secluded little world, serving either as a fortress or a secret chamber. Together with Min Ran and Jia Hui, they would imagine all kinds of childish and silly stories, playing with great delight.

       Those little children laughing seemed to be right before him, happily running past his legs, leaving behind a string of childish laughter.

       At the moment, he didn’t know why he suddenly remembered things from his childhood. His nose felt a little sore. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked out, but two bodyguards stood by the door, blocking his way.

       “Come back and sit down.” Chu Yichen said.

       Chu Yunhan stood at the door without moving, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists. His slightly swollen eyes were red.

       The man picked up a piece of fish, glanced at his back, and said slowly, “I don’t want to see the ugly scene of pulling and tugging while eating, so I’ll give you time to preserve your dignity. But if you insist on testing my patience, I can tell you the outcome directly. Next, they’ll drag you back and pin you down in the chair until I finish my meal.”

       Hearing this, Chu Yunhan felt a burst of bitterness in his heart.

       These words were more of a threat than a warning. The man was telling him clearly that the result would be the same whether he resisted or not. In this house, he was alone and at the mercy of others; all he could do was obey.

       He stood slumped for a while with his head lowered, then turned and walked back to his seat. Every step he took was extremely difficult. In addition to the physical pain, there was also the despair and humiliation that tortured him.

       When he sat down, Chu Yichen spoke again, “From now on, whenever I am at home, you must eat with me. You are not allowed to leave the table until I finish eating.”

       “What exactly… do you want?” Chu Yunhan raised his head, his gaze meeting the man’s, trembling for a moment before forcing himself to hold eye contact. His entire body tensed unnaturally, his voice hoarse. “I set a trap and deceived you, but now you’ve already gotten everything you wanted, and I have nothing left. I didn’t stop your progress, nor did I cause you any real harm. If you hate me, you could just shoot me and be done with it. Why did you… why did you have to do that…” As he recalled everything from the previous night, embarrassment overwhelmed him, his voice trailing off, unable to continue.

       The man looked at him lightly, with a cold smile on his lips, “I didn’t cause any real harm to you last night, right?”

       “You…”

       “The reason why I let you live is because I am still interested in this body. In this house, you are no longer the eldest young master but my private property. If you want to live more comfortably, the only way is to try to please me.”

       These words were like a basin of ice water in his pocket, pouring cold water on Chu Yunhan, and his whole body froze. He looked at Chu Yichen in disbelief and said tremblingly, “You want to…continue?”

       Chu Yichen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up. His eyes, dark as night, held no glimmer of light, appearing heavy and cold. “I’m going to J City tonight and will return in three days. Take care of your only capital.” After that, he left.

       Chu Yunhan looked at his back, feeling frightened and aggrieved. He then slammed the table hard. The pain in his injured hand increased, and blood oozed out again.

       This time, Chu Yichen would not let him go easily.

       After knowing this, Chu Yunhan was filled with despair. He had never been treated like this since he was a child. As the eldest grandson of the Chu family, he lived a life of luxury and indulgence, surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women, and enjoyed the life of a wealthy heir for twenty-eight years. He had thought that the three months he had endured as a waiter was already miserable, and being grounded was even more difficult, but he had never thought that he would now be thrown straight into hell.

       Every second was a painful torture with no end in sight.

       He whimpered, his body trembling like leaves swept by the autumn wind. The di-do and vibrator at the front of his body forced his c0ck to erect for a long time, causing it to become congested and crimson beneath the skin; it felt swollen and painful. The only foot that could move was stomping around, but it only drove what was between his legs deeper. This feeling of being in a climax but unable to get a release made his brain go into chaos, and the series of sobbing moans in his mouth sounded more like the whimpering of a small animal when it was injured. “Chu Yichen…” he choked and begged, “…pull it out, otherwise I will die…”

       “You won’t die. Over time, at most, the thing in front of you will become useless. Whether it can be used or not, it makes no difference to me in terms of usage.” The other party said casually while drinking tea.

       The continuous pleasure piled up layer by layer, reaching the point where his body could hardly withstand. He could no longer bear it; his eyes were filled with tears of humiliation, and he finally trembled and whispered, “Please…”

       Chu Yichen got up and returned to bed. He looked at him and said, “What do you want from me?”

       “…Please, pull it out…” His cheeks were burning, and he couldn’t help but gasp.

       “That’s not the correct answer.”

       Chu Yunhan was on the verge of collapse at this moment and shouted anxiously, “What do you want me to say?”

       The man tapped the remote control in his hand and said word by word, “Please let me fvck you.”

       His eyes widened in despair at the answer. This man was just teasing him, torturing him, forcing him step by step to give up his dignity and surrender to him.

       “Go to hell…” He closed his eyes, exhausted and bit his lips hard. However, the vibrations inside his body suddenly became more intense, and his instinctive cry became hoarse in the end. The pleasure pulled him into heaven, and the constraints pushed him into hell. The repeated tearing made him feel that he had been broken into countless pieces and could no longer be put back together. He shook his head frantically to get free, and the bed frame creaked as he struggled violently.

       Time passed minute by minute, and his persistence was gradually disintegrating.

       He resisted those humiliating words in his heart, but his body couldn’t stand the torture. As a pampered young man, he had no way of staying strong under such torture and finally cried hoarsely while trembling, “Please…pull it out… You can do whatever you want… I can’t stand it anymore…”

       Chu Yichen turned off the remote control, looked at him condescendingly and said, “I want to listen to the correct answer.”

       Chu Yunhan’s eyes were filled with tears, and he moved his lips with difficulty but made no sound. When he saw the man’s hand about to press the switch again, he screamed out urgently, “Please…please…fvck me…” The last two words were like mosquitoes, and the words dispersed into smoke from the exit. When he actually said it, the overwhelming feeling of humiliation made him completely collapse. Tears could no longer be held back and flowed from the corners of his eyes.

       The man threw aside the remote control in his hand, slowly pulled out the di-do buried deep in his asshole, then untied the leather rope wrapped around his right foot and bent his legs to the chest.

       Chu Yichen wanted to fvck him in this position.

       A rush of heat surged to Chu Yunhan’s head. His eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, aiming a hard kick at Chu Yichen’s head with his right leg. He had practised Taekwondo for a while, and this time, the strike was fast and fierce. However, the other party was already on guard. Chu Yichen swiftly dodged to the side and grabbed his ankle, flipping him onto his stomach. He then held Chu Yunhan’s lower back with one hand and unzipped his pants with the other, releasing his erection. Without hesitation, he pushed his c0ck hard into the little hole that had just gotten a moment of rest.

       Despite being expanded, such a rough entry method still made Chu Yunhan tremble in pain. With a pale face, he raised his neck back and made a miserable guttural sound. His chest heaved, and he gasped for breath as if all the air had been sucked out. The muscles on the inner thighs were so tight that they were trembling, and every cell in the body resisted, but to no avail. The cruel aggressor took over his body without mercy and didn’t stop until it was fully inside.

       “Since you like this position, I will grant it to you.” Chu Yichen didn’t give him any time to adapt. He slowly pulled out the c0ck, which was like a torture instrument, and then pushed it in again. Every hard thrust made Chu Yunhan shudder uncontrollably. At first, he could barely manage to scream and curse, but later, he could only gasp and whimper.

       Unlike being invaded by an object, when that person entered him, Chu Yunhan felt the pain that truly penetrated his bones and the fear of being completely possessed. His body was under the control of others and shook with other people’s frequencies, unable to resist, fight back, or escape. Like a broken puppet, imprisoned on this big bed like purgatory, accepting the violation of another man in the most humiliating posture.

       The person who r4p3d him was his cousin.

       His strength gradually slipped away, and his body seemed to have reached its limit. Chu Yichen lifted his waist upwards, causing the helpless man to kneel, and then slowed down the thrust. The c0ck slowly rubbed against the inner wall, hitting sensitive points gently but not too hard, and seemed extremely gentle. However, this kind of tenderness scared Chu Yunhan more than rough aggression. He could clearly feel a small numbness starting to appear in his groin, which was flowing around like an electric current after being invaded again and again, and the lost pleasure began to recover gradually. He shook his head desperately, whimpering and begging for mercy, “Stop… Stop…”

       The pain of r4p3 was bearable. But getting pleasure from r4p3, moaning uncontrollably under the assailant’s body, and shamelessly submitting to him was too much for him to bear.

       “Your upper mouth is shouting to stop, but your lower mouth is biting me tightly and won’t let go. What do you want, cousin?” Chu Yichen’s last words were filled with a bit of contemptuous teasing.

       The naked betrayal brought a greater sense of humiliation, making Chu Yunhan tense up all over, and the area behind him tightened even more.

       “Relax a little bit.” The man patted his butt, stroked his long-erected c0ck and said, “If you don’t behave any better, this place will be ruined.” After saying that, he increased the frequency, thrusting rapidly repeatedly. The penetration was so fierce that it seemed like it was going to pierce him. His balls slapped against the buttocks, making a snapping sound. The lubricating fluid squeezed out by the c0ck dripped down on the bed along the crack of the buttocks. Chu Yunhan was pushed so hard that he couldn’t even kneel, and he was trembling and gasping for breath.

       Chu Yichen’s high stamina made the ordeal even longer, and Chu Yunhan’s body swayed up and down with the man’s attack. The stimulation caused by the constant squeezing of his glands drove him crazy. The surge of sexual desire made him fearful but unable to resist. However, the blocked exit made everything worse. The cries, mixed with gasps and moans, were so fragmented that he was almost suffocated by the constant climax that was difficult to release that even his vision became dizzy. Just when he was about to faint, he heard, “You can cum now.” Then, the tube that had been imprisoning him was slowly pulled out. After several fast and deep thrusts, the man gasped and cum directly into him. Chu Yunhan arched his body, tilted his neck back and cried out in pain. The long period of restraint made it impossible for him to ejaculate normally. The white liquid slowly flowed out from the small opening at the top, and the hot liquid in his body seemed to corrode the entire body from the inside. He fell forward powerlessly, his body sinking into the soft mattress, and everything in front of him turned into blurry blocks of colour.

       Then he completely passed out.

 

       He had a long dream. In the dream, there were him, Chu Yichen, and many others. They still look like they were when they were young: taking off their sportswear and throwing it aside, grabbing a ball on the basketball court, the sweat on their foreheads glistening in the sun.

       “No more playing, I’m exhausted.” He threw the ball aside, panting heavily, and sat on the sidelines. The man also sat down with him.

       A girl ran over, nervously blushing as she handed him a drink, looking excited. He didn’t take it and instead snatched the opened bottle of mineral water from someone next to him, drinking half of it in one go. Then, with a smile and his head tilted, he said, “Yichen, if you were as nice to girls as you are to me, there would be a line of girls waiting to bring you water.”

       “No need.” He replied.

       “It sounds like you have never been angry with me. I robbed you of water, limited edition sneakers, game consoles, autographs of football stars, and your motorcycle… Tsk, so I robbed you of a lot of things.”

       “It doesn’t matter.”

       “You are so generous.” He suddenly became curious, “Yichen, is there anything that will make you angry if I take it away?”

       The other party looked at him quietly for a while and said, “No.”

       …

       The sky was blue, the clouds were soft, and the dark eyes were like obsidian in the sunlight, restrained and calm.

       Then it rained. The thunder was dull, the sky was hazy, and the rain fell on the tiles of the old house, making a pitter-patter sound.

       They stood under the eaves, watching the rain falling continuously on the patio.

       He asked, “Did you take the initiative and ask the old man to be the heir?”

       “Yes.” Chu Yichen replied.

       “Why?”

       “To protect you.”

       “Ha, this is the first time I’ve heard that the fight for inheritance is for such a high-sounding reason. If you want power, just say so. This hypocritical approach is really annoying.”

       …

       The strong wind blew away the figure, and everything turned into an illusory reflection. Time flew by like the galloping horse, like flowing water.

       At his father’s funeral, he knelt numbly before the enormous black-and-white portrait, his dry eyes devoid of light. His father had passed away too suddenly, and his mother had fainted in pain, being rushed to the hospital. Countless decisions needed to be made, and the grand funeral required arrangements; everything seemed to be in chaos. As the son, he felt utterly helpless, unable to do anything, and had to rely on his uncle, Chu Yu, to handle everything. For the first time, he profoundly felt the weight of powerlessness and loneliness. In the early hours of the third day, he heard a noise nearby—someone arrived in a hurry and knelt silently beside him after offering incense, seemingly drenched from the rain, with their coat still wet and dripping.

       “You don’t need to kneel here,” he said.

       Chu Yichen didn’t speak; he just stayed with him silently.

       Seeing that he had not eaten for two days and two nights, the housekeeper came over several times to persuade him, “Young Master, eat something and take a rest.”

       “I told you I have no appetite, so don’t bother me!”

       The people around him said, “The deceased are gone, and the living can only comfort them by living a better life. You must eat something. If you also fall down, Aunt will be even more unbearable.”

       “I don’t need you to persuade me.” He turned to Chu Yichen with red eyes and sneered, “Don’t pretend to empathise with me here. No one can empathise with me. That’s my dad, and I’m his biological son. I’m not as cold-blooded as you, so I can’t eat.”

       Chu Yichen was silent momentarily, then turned to the bodyguard and said, “Take Young Master Yun down to rest and find a doctor to look at him.”

       “Get out!” He broke away from the bodyguard’s hand and shouted, “Chu Yichen, what qualifications do you have to take care of me?”

       “I am the next head of the family. Have you forgotten?” The man spoke to him in a strong tone for the first time, with a cold face and hot eyes.

       The head of the house.

       What’s so surprising?

       He had no ambition at all, but because of that sentence, he aroused unwillingness and a desire to snatch.

       …

       “Even you think I’m not as good as him?” He stood in the old house’s yard and angrily asked his grandfather, Chu Guangye.

       “How do you think you are better than him?”

       “…Because I am my father’s biological son. Do you want to pass on the family business to an outsider?”

       The old man chuckled softly. Since Chu Qin’s death, his health had gradually declined, and in recent days, he seemed somewhat mentally exhausted. Leaning back in his mahogany chair, he said, “Did your father never tell you? He is not my biological son. From a bloodline perspective, you and Yichen are no different. If you compare the two of you, he is more decisive, composed, resilient, and ruthless than you. These are all necessary qualities for becoming the head of the family. Yunhan, do not be fixated on this position; you are not suited for it.”

       As he left in disappointment, a lone bird flew across the sky, emitting a mournful chirp.

       …

       He was about to give up, and the timing came too coincidental.

       Chu Yu was ill, and Chu Yichen hurriedly took over. The faction headed by Gray Wolf in the Black Eagle Association took the opportunity to cause chaos and trouble. When the cunning Gray Wolf whispered in his ear and promised to help him get into that position, the desire in his heart rekindled.

       “Yichen, I was captured by the Gray Wolf. They said they wanted you to come to the south pier alone…” He acted on the phone in a panicked tone, using himself as bait to lure the man into a trap. Chu Yichen’s calm voice came from the mobile phone held by the Gray Wolf, “I will do it, provided you don’t hurt him.”

       After hanging up the phone, he frowned and was silent for a while, then said, “Just catch him and lock him up; don’t kill him.”

       “Everything will be as you wish, Young Master Yun.” Gray Wolf covered up the fierce look in his eyes and said with a smile.

       The man went but escaped three hours later.

       Then everything got out of hand.

       The prey became the hunter, and the hunter became the prey. Gray Wolf was caught, and he fled in a hurry. Under Yang Lin’s arrangement, he concealed his identity and stayed in Lihao as a waiter. In the end, he was captured, escaped again, failed again, and finally fell into a terrifying nightmare.

       The portrait of his father, the smiling face of the Gray Wolf, the way his grandfather sighed and shook his head, and the shy expression of the girl who handed him a drink overlapped and rotated, merging into the deep darkness of Chu Yichen’s eyes. His lips moved as if he were saying something.

       However, he couldn’t hear him clearly.

       Those sharp, noisy, high and low sounds kept ringing in his ears. He tried hard to distinguish, but he could only hear painful and suppressed cries.

       The voice was familiar.

       It was his.

      “You just…” Chu Yunhan didn’t even know what to curse for a moment, and now the situation had completely thrown him into confusion. Chu Yichen didn’t seem to be joking; he truly intended to act against him. Fear and bewilderment made his body stiff, and he said in a panic, “Don’t… wait… I’m not gay. Agreeing to what Sheng the Fifth wants is only a stopgap measure. I didn’t do those things at all… Hng——” The hand that reached into his lower body caught him off guard. He held the fragile and sensitive part between his legs. His body shook, and he hooked his legs and kicked towards the man. The other man seemed to have anticipated his move, and the hand holding his genitals squeezed tightly, making him scream in pain.

      “Be honest if you’re afraid of pain.” Chu Yichen grabbed his right ankle and tied it to the end of the bed with a tie. Chu Yunhan’s face turned pale, “Do you think that a brotherly relationship doesn’t count when you say it doesn’t? Do you know that doing this is incest? If the Uncles know, they will never forgive you!”

      “It doesn’t matter.” The man propped himself up with one hand, while the other lifted Chu Yunhan’s chin, pressing the naked, warm body beneath him. He kissed him again, this time gripping his chin tightly, giving him no chance to bite. Chu Yunhan struggled, muffled sounds escaping him, but only his left leg could barely move under the weight pressing him down.

      As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to every step being wrong.

      At first, he did not expect that Chu Yichen would actually take action. What happened later was beyond the scope of his thinking. At this moment, he had been completely restrained and had no ability to resist at all.

      Their lips and tongues were intertwined, and the man was wreaking havoc in his mouth as if trying to take away all his breath.

      It was different from when he kissed Sheng the Fifth. Although he was still passively enduring it, the powerful aggression and overwhelming pressure from Chu Yichen filled him with fear. This fear, intertwined with the anxiety and humiliation of losing his freedom, became even more intense. What shattered him further was the painfully clear realisation that the person intertwining tongues with him was his own cousin. Shame and resistance exploded within him, causing his whole body to tremble.

      Chu Yichen slowly pulled out of his mouth after enjoying the kiss and then kissed the side of Chu Yunhan’s neck with his lips, sucking and biting his skin as if trying to cover the mark left by Sheng the fifth, lingering on every spot. The hand that clamped the jaw also reached down to his lower body, playing with the dormant sexual organ between his legs, kneading and stroking it, teasing it to the fullest.

      “Chu Yichen, you really make me feel sick.” The person who was suppressed glared at the other person with red eyes and said coldly, “What? Do you feel good about touching me? You haven’t had a woman by your side for so many years, right? Because you can’t be hard on women, can you find pleasure only by touching men? I heard that your two fathers often play sadistic games at home. You are really a good son raised by them. Even this abnormal behaviour is exactly the same… Ah——” The suddenly rising cry of pain was because the man’s balls was pinched tightly, and the pain was heart-piercing.

      “I warned you, don’t try to provoke me.” Chu Yichen’s fingers continued to tease his c0ck, and his nails scratched lightly at the crown. The successive stimulations made him tremble, and a feeling gradually surged between his legs. There was a wave of heat. He reacted to being played with like this, which made Chu Yunhan almost go crazy with shame. His whole face was hot, and he had no sense left in his mind. He said indiscriminately, “I’m warning you, Sir! Who do you think you are?! Even if I want to be fvcked by a man, I won’t look for you! You make me sick to my stomach. Sheng the fifth kisses me better than you do!”

      The man’s movements paused slightly. A cold dark light flashed in his black eyes, and a sneer appeared on his lips, “Since I made you feel sick, let’s find another way.” After that, he let go of him and started from there. He took out some gadgets from the box placed next to the bed. Chu Yunhan knew that what he just said had completely pissed him off, and he felt a little scared. When he saw those things clearly, he was even more shocked, “You…don’t touch me with these things…”

      Chu Yichen held Chu Yunhan’s semi-soft c0ck, took the hairpin-like instrument, put one end of the hose against the crown, and said lightly, “I’m truly failing in my duty if you’re still thinking about other men while on my bed.”

      “fvck off! Go away… Get it away!” Chu Yunhan shouted with a pale face, but the flexible tube was inserted into the urethral opening without mercy. He instantly tensed up in pain, and even his voice changed its tone. The other party showed no mercy and slowly pushed in until the entire tube was inserted, leaving only a peach blossom shaped hairpin outside.

      “Get it out…” The bound man’s body trembled and he gasped, “You pervert… Get it out of me…”

      Chu Yichen ignored it, grabbed a pillow and raised Chu Yunhan’s lower abdomen, put on medical film gloves, poured some lubricant to wet his fingers, and pushed two fingers into Chu Yunhan’s back hole. The feeling of the sphincter being stretched made Chu Yunhan let out a cry. The narrow passage that had never been treated so roughly before instinctively contracted to repel the intruder. The intense discomfort and fear in his heart made him tremble all over.

      Although Chu Yunhan was not gay, he had been in the circle of young men for a long time and had seen a lot. He knew what was going on between men. At this moment, he understood what the man was going to do, and he was horrified. He could no longer maintain his tough tone, “Don’t do this… You can’t do this…”

      The gradually increasing number of fingers stretched the folds of the hole little by little, and the weird feeling caused by bending and twisting in the body made him uncomfortable. He kept raising his waist and abdomen to get rid of it. Such tightness obviously made the other party unhappy. Chu Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly and changed his position to press the intestinal wall as if exploring. When he touched a certain place, the person under him trembled uncontrollably. Then, those fingers were like hounds looking for a rabbit, staring at that spot and stimulating it continuously.

      It should obviously be humiliating torture, but the feeling caused by the glands being squeezed was so clear, numb and sour, and the surging heat gathered in the lower body, constantly stirring. When the first uncontrollable nasal sound escaped, Chu Yunhan’s eyes filled with shame and he shouted, “Get away! Hng-huh… you are crazy… Chu Yichen, you can’t do this to me…”

      “What am I supposed to do to you?” The man looked at him condescendingly, his eyes slightly cold, “Since childhood, anything you liked, I willingly gave up; any wish of yours, I tried my best to fulfil; when you made mistakes, I gladly took the blame for you; when you neglected your work and acted recklessly, I let you do as you pleased, allowing you to live grandly as the eldest young master of the Chu family. But how do you treat me in return?” Chu Yichen withdrew his fingers and placed a thick di-do dipped in lubricant against the somewhat reddened hole that had been ravaged, “I’ve been wondering if it’s because of all this leniency I’ve shown you that you feel like you can be forgiven no matter what you do to me, and that’s why you’ve been picking on my bottom line over and over again.”

      “I was wrong… I was really wrong. I will never challenge you again, really…” His eyes were full of panic, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake.

      “It’s too late.” Chu Yichen inserted the di-do without mercy.

      The high-pitched screams had a desolate trembling sound. Chu Yunhan’s body stood up like a fish as it rejected the intrusion of foreign objects. He then collapsed on the bed and kept breathing hard. Deep marks were left on the struggling wrist. The sphincter was stretched to the limit in an instant, and just one-third of the way in made him tremble with pain. He gasped and begged, “Don’t… don’t…” However, the other party showed no mercy, and the entire di-do was completely pushed in. Chu Yunhan felt his vision go black, and the pain in his back hole was so painful that he almost lost consciousness. The second half of his cry for mercy was already hoarse.

      However, the nightmare had just begun.

      The switch on the remote control was pressed. The di-do buried deep inside Chu Yunhan’s body twisted and vibrated wildly. The initial pain caused him to let out a short wail, but every time the swirling bumps on the pole squeezed the glands, they brought an undeniable stimulation. These pleasures drowned out the pain little by little, and the tingling heat that gradually developed gathered in his lower abdomen, making the front end of his genitals stand straight up. He bit his lip, trying to suppress those shameful moans, but when Chu Yichen pressed the vibrating egg against his c0ck, he couldn’t help crying out. The double stimulation before and after made him completely engulfed by the wave of desire, but the only way out was tightly sealed by the tube, and he could only keep the surges in his body.

      Chu Yunhan struggled in vain, and the red marks on his wrists and ankles were getting deeper and deeper from the straps. “Stop… I can’t bear it anymore… Stop…” Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He couldn’t bear the torture and begged intermittently.

      “You’re so hard, do you want to cum?” The man fiddled with the flower stuck at the top. For a sensitive organ like the urethra, every tiny movement would be magnified countless times. Chu Yunhan was trembling and panting in his hands, his eyes misty.

      “Beg me.” Chu Yichen looked at him calmly.

      After hearing those two words clearly, Chu Yunhan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “fvck off!”

      The man twitched the corners of his lips and adjusted the remote control in his hand to a higher level.

      “Ahhng—” The desire was overwhelming, and the more intense stimulation caused the person who was bound on the bed to instinctively raise his neck and arch his body to ejaculate, but nothing came out at all. The accumulated pleasure was completely sealed in the body, which was tantamount to the most painful torture. He finally collapsed and cried loudly, “Kill me! Chu Yichen, kill me! Uh-hngh…”

      “Sometimes, seeking death isn’t an easy task.” The man didn’t even look at him as he sat down on the sofa, flipping through the report in his hand. “The night is long; you have plenty of time to slowly experience the pleasure you desire.”

      After his failed attempt at seizing power, he went into hiding but was eventually caught. This time, after being confined, he escaped and was caught again. Chu Yunhan felt that his luck had truly run out. He had no idea what that guy would do to him this time, and his heart was filled with anxiety. Every little sound outside the door made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

      Chu Yichen’s room had not changed much from before. The blackish-grey colour scheme had a cool and depressing feeling. Even the green plants were common asparagus ferns. The air was filled with a faint aroma, like sandalwood, and there was some Chinese medicine aroma.

      He paced around the room with his head down and a frown on his face, thinking about what to say later. When he saw another feet on the ground, he stopped abruptly. They were already very close. He raised his head and saw Chu Yichen’s face.

      Handsome, aloof, and even somewhat unfamiliar. Sometimes, Chu Yunhan had the illusion that the Chu Yichen, who was now the head of the family and the Chu Yichen, who had once been his childhood playmate, were not the same person—just an icy shell. He had authority and methods but no heart.

      “Are you going to kill me?” he asked anxiously.

      The man didn’t answer; his gaze fell on the small piece of neck exposed by his collar, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Chu Yunhan subconsciously reached out to touch the place where Chu Yichen was staring. He then suddenly realised something and his cheeks felt warm.

      That was a hickey. Sheng the Fifth always liked to come over and cuddle him to sleep. It was the same thing this morning, and he even bit him painfully. He was embarrassed and wanted to explain but didn’t know how. He pulled up his collar uncomfortably. His eyes met Chu Yichen’s and he couldn’t help but freeze.

      The man’s gaze was strange. It was as cold as an eternal glacier, but it contained a strong heat, as if rolling lava was about to burst out. The two originally contradictory emotions seemed to be violently colliding and spinning, which seemed a bit scary. Suddenly, the man ripped open his shirt, and the broken buttons fell to the ground, making scattered sounds.

      Her chest was exposed, and several old and new hickeys on her neck were clearly visible. Chu Yunhan was startled and tried to push him away, but his wrists were grabbed and pinned to the wall. The man was so powerful that he couldn’t get away, so he couldn’t help but said angrily, “…What are you doing? Let go!”

      “I really… underestimated you.” Chu Yichen looked at him, with a mocking smile on his lips. The glow outside the window fell on his eyes, dyeing his pupils reddish. Wrapped in dark clothes, he looked like a pale vampire—lonely and sinister. The man slowly let go of his hand and walked out of the door.

      Chu Yunhan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden appearance. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and started to sort out his clothes, two people came in. One of them was holding a medical kit in his hand, and the other man in a white T-shirt said, “Young Master Yun, I’m afraid I need to trouble you to cooperate.”

      “What are you going to do?” He had a bad premonition in his heart.

      The man in white smiled and put on a pair of medical gloves, “I’ve been entrusted to clean you thoroughly, inside and out.”

 

      For Chu Yunhan, ‘getting cleaned’ was nothing short of a nightmare. Not only did they suppress his resistance, but they also used restraints. His eyes were covered with a blindfold, leaving him unable to see. His hands were bound behind his back with wide straps, and even his ankles were tied. According to the man, it was to prevent him from moving around and hurting himself. Washing his body was one thing, but when something was inserted into his anus, he was both shocked and furious. He twisted his body and shouted, “Get out! Do you want to die?”

      “Honestly, I don’t really want to take this kind of work. The risk of touching your body is too high. If someone gets upset and destroys my hand afterwards, I will have to use my feet to eat.” The liquid was poured into his body, and he joked, “My skills with these hands are not as good as his, but they are still not bad. But it’s a pity that you won’t have the chance to try it, Young Master Yun.” After that, he slowly pulled out the hose and stuffed something unknown to block the anal hole.

      The sensation of liquid filling his body, ready to be discharged yet blocked tightly, was driving him to the brink of collapse. Chu Yunhan panted heavily, his entire body trembling in shame and agony. “Take it out… pull it out… It feels too uncomfortable…”

      “Seeing you like this, I can’t even bear to tell you that this all is not really unpleasant.” The man smiled, “Since that person got angry, I’m afraid that the real difficulty for you is the latter.”

      After three consecutive rounds of anal penetration, every part of his body was carefully washed and dried, and even a layer of lotion was applied. The continuous struggle almost exhausted Chu Yunhan’s strength. He knew very well that even if he cursed these two people, it would be useless, so he simply stopped speaking and let them control him. When the blindfold was taken off, he found that he was brought back to Chu Yichen. The straps on his feet were untied, and his hands were tied in front of him. He was wearing a thin silk nightgown loosely on his body, and the thin belt around his waist was untied, exposing a large area of ​​his chest.

      The man was sitting on the edge of the tea table, holding a ceramic cup in his hand, and said casually, “All cleaned up?”

      Chu Yunhan, who was treated like this for the first time, was already furious and yelled, “You sick bastard! Whether I’m clean or not is none of your damn business. I’ll sleep with whoever I want, let whoever I want to kiss me. Who the hell do you think you are?” He said these words as if he were pouring beans into his mouth, and then he realised that something was wrong. He was already in a situation where he was at the mercy of others, and if he offended that person again, he would only be even more miserable, so he couldn’t help but feel a little bit guilty.

      Chu Yichen put down the blue-glazed cracked cup he was playing with, looked at him, and said slowly, “Do you know why I don’t like these antiques?”

      He frowned, “The devil knows.”

      “Because there are always other people’s marks on those objects as if they are always telling you clearly that they do not belong to you.” The man stood up and approached him step by step. “In the same way, I don’t like people leaving marks on things that belong to me.”

      The gradually shortening distance gave Chu Yunhan a sense of oppression, and he instinctively took a step back. His mind was a little confused, and then Chu Yunhand asked, “What do you mean?”

      The other party had no intention of stopping. The other party approached closer, and Chu Yunhan had to retreat again. The two of them moved forward and backward, one step, two steps, until Chu Yunhan’s back was pressed against the wall.

      There was no way to retreat.

      Chu Yichen was slightly taller, so Chu Yunhan was trapped between his body and the wall. They were so close that he was at an extremely ambiguous distance. Chu Yichen looked down at his face, and the tips of their noses were almost touching.

      “Do you know how I deal with traitors? The Grey Wolf is still alive, but there’s not a single piece of unscarred flesh left on him. I locked him up in a very quiet place, where he watches every day as his wife and daughter are violated. He slaughtered thirty-two of my men, so I’ll make sure he suffers for thirty-two years before he dies. Fair, right?” The man’s voice was low and sweet, even with a little gentleness.

      Such a voice said such words, which made Chu Yunhan feel chill and got goosebumps all over. “You…” He was so flustered that he didn’t know what to say.

      “You deceived me, plotted against me, and teamed up with outsiders to deal with me, but I didn’t touch you at all. I blocked the news that you were colluding with the Gray Wolf and still allowed you to live in this house as the eldest young master of the Chu family. Why do you think that’s the case?” Those black eyes were as calm as the deep sea, sucking in all the light.

      “Because…we are brothers…” He felt a little guilty when he gave this answer, and unnaturally avoided the other person’s sight.

      “Yes, brothers.” Chu Yichen chuckled self-deprecatingly, “All these years, this relationship has been the shackles binding my hands and feet, keeping me from doing anything. I once thought I’d live my entire life this way, but now I can finally be free. Because you’ve torn this relationship apart, time and time again until it’s shattered beyond repair. The relationship I guarded with all my heart, forcing myself to lower my boundaries to protect it repeatedly—was something you never cared about. How ridiculous.” The smile on his lips disappeared, and his cold expression returned. “Since you don’t want it, why should I persist? From now on, our brotherhood is broken.”

      “You want to kill me?” Chu Yunhan’s voice was trembling. “I…you said you had to lock me up for the rest of my life before I went to find Sheng the fifth. The rest of my life is too long, I can’t stand this kind of torture…”

      “Torture, huh.” The man repeated this word, “So, being confined was already unbearable torture for you, to the point where you’d willingly offer yourself to another man.” After saying that, he pulled away his waist. The laces and silk nightgown were wide open, exposing his body. Chu Yunhan was startled and used his tied hands to push Chu Yichen, but the other party pressed his hands on his head. This refusal obviously made the man a little unhappy, and his body pushed him against the wall. The force was so strong that it made his chest feel tight.

      Chu Yichen’s fingertips traced from the side of his neck to his collarbone, leaving warm touch points on those hickeys. His voice was a little dry and hoarse, “The thing I treasured like a priceless gem, you tossed away like garbage. If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have held back from the start. Since you were willing to climb into Sheng the Fifth’s bed to escape, I’ll give you a chance to beg me to spare your life in the same way.” After saying that, he lowered his head and pressed on his lips.

      The kiss was ferocious and savage, without any restraint. Chu Yunhan was completely stunned, his eyes widened. By the time he realised what was happening, the man had already moved in and hooked his tongue.

      “Hng…” He couldn’t push the other person away, so he bit down hard in desperation. Chu Yichen felt pain and stepped away from his mouth. His tongue was injured and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

      “You’re crazy!” Chu Yunhan was shocked and angry, his mind was buzzing, his whole body was shaking, and even his voice became unstable, “Chu Yichen, do you know what you are doing?”

      “fvcking you.” The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, dragged him to the bed and pushed him down. He stopped his roving hands and tied the belt to the bed frame tightly. Then he simply tore off the obstructive nightgown, his expression calm without a trace of ripples.

      “You’re so fvcking crazy! I’m your older brother!” He stared at the other person in disbelief and roared.

      “As I said just now, you and I are no longer brothers. If you want to live, you have to please me.”

       Whether it was men or women, kissing seemed pretty much the same.

        This was Chu Yunhan’s only thought. He was leaning on the leather sofa, staring at the strange scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze. This was Sheng the fifth’s residence in K City. It was a small villa with a private courtyard and was very clean. Sheng the fifth promised him that in another week, he would take him back to J city after he had settled his affairs. J City was the Sheng family’s territory; once there, he would finally be completely free.

       He had not been to J City many times, and he had only been left with a fragmented impression that the air quality was not very good and was a bit dry, the food tasted a bit strong, and the girl was pretty.

       If he had to stay there for the rest of his life… As he thought of this, he was a little irritated. The remote control in his hand kept changing channels, but he didn’t know what to watch, so he finally threw it aside. He called Jiahui and was relieved to hear that his mother had been taken back to Zhou’s home. Although his grandfather had already retired from politics, his connections and authority remained intact. Having his mother stay with the Zhou family was much more reassuring for him than leaving her in Chu Yichen’s hands.

       “Yunhan ge, what’s going on between you and Yichen ge? Can you tell me now?”

       “I had a fight with him… things got tense, so I want to get away for a bit. Don’t look for me; when I’ve figured things out, I’ll come back on my own.” He really didn’t have the face to admit that he had set a trap to deceive Chu Yichen, so he could only be vague about it, “Take good care of my mom for me, spend time with her when you can, and remind her to take her medication on time. Tell her I’m busy and can’t come back for the time being.”

       “Okay, I got it.” Jiahui was a little sad, “You don’t have to worry about Auntie. But you and Yichen ge, can’t you have a good talk? It would be good if you both could compromise a little. You two were so close when you were kids; how did it come to this?”

       Chu Yunhan had no way to answer. Perhaps that was just how life was—one wrong step led to another, and once a rift formed in a relationship, it became nearly impossible to mend. After he hung up the phone, he lay back on the bed, pulling a pillow over his head in frustration.

       A rift was a rift, after all, and Chu Yichen didn’t regard him with any importance anyway. Living with nothing? Ha, he refused to give that person the satisfaction.

 

       Sheng the fifth was really busy these days, leaving early and coming back late. Knowing that Chu Yunhan wouldn’t be able to accept it for a while, he didn’t rush to do anything. He slept next to Chu Yunhan every night, occasionally cuddling and kissing. Chu Yunhan used to hold girls like this, but now, as he was in the girl position himself, he found everything awkward. But he could only force himself to adapt. He heard that there was no sign of anyone from the Chu family, so he couldn’t help but curse in his heart, thinking that Chu Yichen probably wished he would just disappear and stay far away.

       After four days of peaceful life, Sheng Ming called at noon and said he would pick him up later to have dinner with him. Chu Yunhan felt bored staying in the house, so he naturally agreed. He was in the living room when the door opened, “I’ve changed my clothes, where are we going tonight…” Before he could finish his words, he was held down by several strong men who rushed in and dragged him into a Mercedes-Benz.

       “Who sent you here? Where is Sheng Ming?” Chu Yunhan, who was sandwiched between the two people in the back seat, was very uneasy.

       No one responded.

       He asked again, “Where are you taking me?”

       Still no one responded.

       No matter who these people were, they must had no good intentions in picking him up in this way. Chu Yunhan was worried and suddenly reached out to grab the gun from the waist of the man next to him, but another man pressed the gun against his back. At this time, the person in the front seat said coldly, “We are just following orders and don’t want to hurt anyone. Please don’t embarrass us, Young Master Yun.”

       Chu Yunhan knew he couldn’t escape, so he reluctantly sat back down, feeling anxious. When he saw the familiar scenery on the roadside and the Chinese-style buildings getting closer and closer, he lowered his head in despair. Accompanying him back was Bai Xiao, who must have suffered a lot and was covered in injuries.

       Hei Yu, who came to greet them at the door, bowed and said, “Young Master Yun, Young Master and the guests are waiting for you inside.” After that, he added in a low voice, “The Young Master said that you should judge for yourself what should be said and what shouldn’t.”

       Chu Yunhan smiled bitterly. He originally thought that the Sheng family was so powerful that even if Chu Yichen found out his whereabouts, he would not be able to do anything to him under the protection of the Sheng family or that the two sides would go back and forth to give him a chance to escape. Who would have expected Chu Yichen to have the ability to have the Sheng family take the initiative to deliver the goods to his door in just a few days?

       His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. As he stepped into the main hall and looked around, his gaze fell on Sheng Ming, who was standing there. At that moment, Sheng Ming’s gaze was fixed on him as well. Their gazes met, revealing mutual reluctance and desolation. Sheng the Fifth, who had long desired him and thought he could finally fulfil his wish, now felt deeply frustrated as he found himself powerless to keep him by his side. On the other hand, Chu Yunhan saw Sheng the Fifth as a lifeline, only to have that lifeline snap and find himself dragged back into captivity, feeling regretful. Their exchanged looks were like those of a pair of estranged lovers.

       “Chu Yunhan.” A voice sounded, interrupting the silent exchange between the two. Chu Yunhan’s eyes followed the sound, and he shuddered when he bumped into the man sitting on the mahogany scholar’s chair. In Chu Yichen’s eyes seemed to lie an impending snowstorm; merely meeting his gaze made one feel an unbearable, bone-chilling cold.

       This time, he was afraid he was really going to die.

       Seeing his expression, Chu Yunhan sighed in his heart.

       Besides Chu Yichen, there were two other people sitting in the main hall. One had slightly gray hair and a beard, about sixty years old. There was also a very young man, only in his twenties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and elegant. At this moment, he stood up, walked towards her, stretched out his hand, and said, “This must be Yunhan. I’m Shen Mo. Nice to meet you.”

       Chu Yunhan had never seen this person before and shook hands with some confusion.

       “Is your head hurt?” the young man asked, looking at the bruises on his forehead.

       “A bump. It’s not serious.”

       “That’s good.” He smiled. This man looked fair and handsome, and his smile seemed to have a spring breeze blowing on it, which makes people feel very comfortable. He turned around and said, “Uncle Sheng, Yichen, since everyone has returned safely, this matter can be considered resolved for now. Next, we should sit down calmly and discuss things. I will mediate between you two. What do you both think?”

       Chu Yunhan was a little surprised. A young man announced that he would be the mediator between the Sheng family and the Chu family and seemed determined to convince both parties. Where did this calm confidence come from? While he was standing, Chu Yichen and Sheng Weiyong also stood up, which showed that this person’s identity was extraordinary.

       “With the Young Third Master as the mediator, this Yichen naturally has no objections.” the man said slowly.

       “Naturally, this Sheng has no objection either. My son’s actions have disturbed Elder Shen and troubled the Third Master. I am truly embarrassed. Whatever punishment or apology is deemed necessary, I will fully comply without any objections.”, Sheng Weiyong’s attitude was very cooperative.

       “Uncle Sheng, it is true that Fifth Brother was at fault from the beginning. Even if there were some minor grievances, it was never justified to block the road, kidnap someone, and cause injury. If someone were to treat the Sheng family brothers this way, you surely wouldn’t let it go either. So it’s understandable that Yichen was angry and ordered your warehouse to be lit, wouldn’t you agree?”

       Chu Yunhan was startled. This guy Chu Yichen actually set fire to the family’s warehouse?

       “The Young Third Master is right,” Sheng Weiyong said sternly, “I have been negligent in disciplining him; this kid has become accustomed to the lawlessness and has done such a thing; it’s really a shame for me.” After saying that, he shouted angrily behind him, “You little bastard, why don’t you get over here and apologise properly?!”

       Sheng Ming frowned and walked slowly to Chu Yunhan, looking slightly apologetic, “I should apologise to you. This time, it was my lack of foresight.” He paused and said, “You don’t need to say anything; this is all my fault. I admit it. I’m sorry.”

       His words carried a hidden meaning, concealing his true thoughts between the lines.

       Chu Yunhan understood. The ‘lack of foresight’ mentioned by Sheng the Fifth referred to not taking him away in time, and the phrase ‘no need to say anything’ was to make him keep silent and let him bear the responsibility of the matter. It was as if it was really just the fifth son of the Sheng family who was so audacious that he kidnapped the eldest young master of the Chu family.

       But this was clearly not the case. He was just the one he turned to for help, a passing bard. Even if he took advantage of the situation and made a request to him, it was a fair transaction and there was nothing to blame. The tenderness in Sheng the Fifth’s eyes made him feel guilty and he wanted to speak. When he caught a glimpse of Chu Yichen’s expression out of the corner of his eye, his heart trembled.

       That look was telling him to shut up.

       What would happen if he told the truth? How could he explain being held in confinement? Bringing up his involvement in Grey Wolf’s rebellion would do no good for him or the Chu family. What’s more, Chu Yichen also set fire to the Sheng family’s warehouse. That man took action without leaving any room, and the Sheng family was estimated to have suffered heavy losses. Sheng Weiyong thought his son had made a mistake and robbed him, so he didn’t care. If he revealed that he asked the fifth for help at this time, the Sheng family would definitely not give up and would only intensify the conflict. At this point, it was impossible for the Sheng family to take him in, so it was pointless to say anything.

       Chu Yunhan’s lips moved, but in the end he didn’t say anything. He looked at Sheng the fifth with gratitude in his eyes and gave a slight ‘hmm’ as a response.

       Shen Mo coughed lightly and spoke again, “Yichen, Uncle Sheng, and the Fifth Brother have both apologised, so it’s time for you to cool down as well. Your two families are like the old man’s right-hand men; if things get out of hand, it won’t look good for anyone, and it would be a disgrace to his reputation. He’s sent me here to ease the tension and hopes that both of you will consider the old man’s face and take a step back. The person is back safely, and the goods, well, if they’re burnt, they’re burnt—let’s just take this as a way to get to know each other’s boundaries better. In the future, there will be times when the two families need to cooperate, so don’t let this affect your relationship. Let this matter pass and be forgotten, okay?”

       These words were said in a flawless and impartial manner, and Elder Shen was even brought up to give pressure. Chu Yichen took the lead and said to Sheng Weiyong, “Chairman Sheng, burning down the warehouse was a rash decision on my part, and I hope you can be magnanimous and not take it to heart. As for the losses, I’m willing to compensate at full value.”

       “No need.” Sheng Weiyong waved his hand with the demeanour of a true leader, “Just like Young Third Master said, what’s burned is burned. After all, this matter was Sheng Ming’s fault. I hope Chairman Chu can forgive us.”

       The handshake and reconciliation brought satisfaction to all. The grand drama had come to an end.

       Chu Yunhan stood in the middle, suddenly feeling a sense of emptiness. These people seemed like illusory backgrounds, with no real connection to him. He felt like a speck of dust, floating in this bleak world with no place to return to.

       Chu Yichen saw off the Sheng family and Shen Mo, then looked at Chu Yunhan. After a moment of silence, he instructed his bodyguards, “Take him to my room.”

       “Why are you hiding here?” Jiahui asked in a small voice.

       “What did Chu Yichen tell you?” He deleted the text messages on his phone and returned them to her.

       “Chen ge said that you took over the company’s affairs and were sent to City C for a while. Then he mentioned that Auntie wanted to go to clear her mind, so she took me along.”

       “My mother?!” Chu Yunhan was shocked, “…how did he find my mother?”

       “‘Find’? What do you mean? Hasn’t Auntie been staying at the villa in the Beishan?”

       Of course not. The day before the incident, he had Gray Wolf quietly pick up his mother from there and send her to a sanatorium in City H. The whole thing was done in extreme secrecy—how could Chu Yichen have tracked them down? Could it be that Gray Wolf’s men were being watched by him from the start? Did he know that Gray Wolf would betray him? Or perhaps he had already sensed his involvement in the matter? But if that were the case, how could he have been lured into the trap by just a phone call from him?

       Seeing the confused look on Jiahui’s face, he couldn’t tell the whole story, so he could only ignore it and say, “It’s nothing. How is my mom’s mental state right now? Is her health okay? There weren’t any problems on the way, were there?”

       “It’s good. Chen ge arranged this trip very thoughtfully. Auntie was very happy and was in a good mood along the way. To be honest, did you and Chen ge have a fight? Don’t cause trouble for him. He’s been overwhelmed with work, dealing with a ton of things every day, and it’s been a long time since we had a meal together. Oh, right, we went to Sweden…”

       “Shh, keep your voice down.” Chu Yunhan interrupted her ramble and said, “Next, I need you to help me with a few things. I can’t explain the reasons right now, but I promise I’ll tell you everything later. For now, please don’t ask, alright?”

       Jiahui saw his solemn expression and was a little at a loss, “…Okay, what’s the matter?”

       “First, when you leave here later, make sure to avoid everyone. Act like you haven’t seen me and don’t know that I’m home.”

       “Oh.” She suppressed her curiosity and agreed.

       “Second, don’t show your cell phone to others. If a stranger calls me, tell him I’m at the Chu family’s old house.”

       “Okay.”

       “Third, help me take good care of my mother and find an excuse for Grandpa to send someone to pick her up and take her back to Zhou’s house.”

       “But Auntie said that she was used to living in Beishan courtyard…”

       “We have to leave there!” Chu Yunhan said anxiously.

       Jiahui was taken aback by his attitude, but the two grew up together and trusted each other. Since it was something Chu Yunhan asked, there must be some reasons, so she nodded and said, “Alright, I understand.”

       After Jiahui left, Chu Yunhan quietly slipped out of the storage room. He originally wanted to go all the way back, but he was caught by bodyguards on the way and escorted directly back to the room. As a result, in addition to being locked up and not allowed to leave the room, he was not given food for two whole days. Chu Yunhan felt that Chu Yichen was treating him like a pet, just like Thor. When Thor was obedient, it was allowed to walk around the yard; when guests arrived, it would be chained up, and only when it wagged its tail would it be fed. If it disobeyed, it would be left hungry.

       He couldn’t live like this.

       However, in this predicament, all he could do was wait. Like a trembling lion in a circus caravan, waiting for a minstrel willing to lend a hand.

       Every morning, the sun slowly rose from the east, casting a red glow across the sky and making the black tiles on the roof glisten. At night, the daylight gradually faded, the sky darkened, and a crescent moon appeared alongside scattered stars. Time had never felt so slow before—so slow that it left a barren emptiness in his heart.

       Chu Yunhan, who was bored, leaned against the window and stared at the sky all day long, anxiously waiting for the long-awaited response.

       On the tenth day after Jiahui’s arrival, Chu Yichen informed him to attend an event with him.

       ——Shengjing Group’s charity dinner.

       Upon hearing the news, Chu Yunhan’s heart beat wildly. He pretended to be disdainful and said, “It’s boring, I won’t go.”

       “I thought that after being locked up for so long, you would want to go out for a walk.” The man raised his eyes and said, “If you don’t want to go, then forget it.”

       It was as if a dull thunder had hit him, and he felt great regret. He hated himself for trying to die for no reason and stuttered, “Uh, it’s better to go out for a walk. It’s too boring at home.”

       Chu Yichen looked at him for a while and said, “Go and change clothes.”

       A dark blue formal suit was prepared for him. Chu Yunhan usually disliked colours that were too dark and always felt immature. At this moment, he was not in the mood to care about whether he looked good or not. His mind was in such a mess that he even tied his tie wrong several times.

       He hadn’t chosen the wrong person; that guy was indeed reliable. Now, he could finally leave this cage, but what was the next step? What exactly were his plans? Everything was still unclear, and he could only proceed cautiously, step by step. The opportunity was hard-earned, so he had to be extremely careful.

       In the back seat of the car, the two sat side by side, silently all the way. It wasn’t until they entered the venue that Chu Yichen said, “Outside, you are still the eldest son of the Chu family, so keep your mouth shut.”

       “Don’t worry, I will be a puppet and not cause you any trouble.” He glanced at Bai Xiao, who was following him and spoke in a mocking tone.

       These kinds of banquets were still so boring—people clustered in twos and threes, exchanging pleasantries, each expanding and solidifying their connections. Having been absent for a long time, he was immediately noticed by a few familiar young gentlemen as soon as he showed up, who were eagerly signalling him.

       Chu Yunhan knew that they were afraid of Chu Yichen and could not come over to greet him, so it was inconvenient for him to come over and say hello. Unfortunately, he was now a ‘prisoner’ and couldn’t run over to hang out with them, so he had to pretend not to see them.

       “It’s really rare for Chairman Chu’s to visit. It’s a glorious sight.” A voice was heard, and then a middle-aged man with a beard was seen striding towards them. He was the second son of Sheng Weiyong, the president of Shengjing Group, and the head of the Southeast Region—Sheng Guang.

       A smile appeared on Chu Yichen’s face, and he extended his hand to shake hands with him, “How could a Chu be absent from Shengjing’s invitation?”

       “I’ve always heard that Chairman Chu is handsome and dashing. When I saw you today, you were indeed extraordinary.” The one speaking was a young man standing behind him, dressed in a perfectly tailored white suit with a hint of roguishness in his smile. Chu Yunhan’s gaze fell on him, then awkwardly looked away, afraid that others might notice something amiss.

       This man’s name was Sheng Ming. He was Sheng Guang’s biological younger brother, fifth in line. He was known as ‘Fifth Master’ down the road, and he also had the nickname ‘Gods Impossible to Save’, meaning that once this guy targeted you, even the Gods would have a hard time saving you.

       The reason why they had this title was because the Sheng family also started out in the underworld, and their home base was in the north. In the past few years, there had been people in the court, and their claws had become deeper and longer, and they had reached K City. The newly opened nightclub in the south of the city was their property, and it had affected Lihao’s business to a certain extent.

       Chu Yichen smiled lightly, “Thank you. Chairman xiao Sheng is a young talent with a bright future.”

       After the show of mutual compliments was over, they began to take their seats. It was the same routine of soliciting donations that followed: a few children were brought on stage to tell their tragic stories, and some rare items were auctioned off. Business tycoons spent lavishly to show their generosity.

       Chu Yunhan’s gaze kept drifting toward Sheng the fifth, so he decided to lower his head and focus on the wine glass in front of him. After sitting there for a while, he found an excuse to go to the restroom. Bai Xiao followed him to the door, and after Chu Yunhan made a round in the restroom without finding anything unusual, he began to feel anxious.

       Was he actually planning to help him escape or not? This was the best opportunity, and who knew when the next chance would come… He sat on the toilet for a long time, waiting until Bai Xiao came in to find him before he emerged from the restroom with a frustrated expression. After that, he sat there like a puppet, completely detached from the performances on stage and the conversations happening around him, with no interest in paying attention.

       Until the end of the banquet, there was no movement.

       Hei Yu leaned next to Chu Yichen and whispered a few words. The man pondered for a moment and said, “I have something to do at the moment, so you go back first.”

       Chu Yunhan and Bai Xiao got into the car and leaned back in the backseat with their eyes closed without saying a word. About ten minutes later, the driver suddenly made a sharp turn and stepped on the brakes, causing the entire car to slide out of a semicircle due to the huge inertial belt. His head hit the car window and broke, causing severe pain.

       “Don’t move!” Bai Xiao looked stern and pulled out his gun neatly.

       His head was dizzy, and there were stars in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he heard several gunshots coming from behind, and the tyres of the car went flat. Then Bai Xiao pulled him out of the car. He stumbled a few steps and finally stopped.

       In front of him was a circle of men in black suits, all with guns in their hands.

       “Who are you?” Bai Xiao lost his smile and asked gloomily.

       “We just met, and you forgot so quickly?” A familiar voice rang, and the man in a white suit appeared leisurely in front of everyone with an extremely evil smile.

       “…Sheng Fifth Master?” Bai Xiao protected Chu Yunhan behind him, “What do you want to do?”

       “According to the cliché, it should be called… a hero saving the beauty.”

       “What?” Before Bai Xiao could react, he was hit on the back of his neck, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground. Immediately, a man in black stepped forward, grabbed the gun and held him down. Before Bai Xiao fainted, he gritted his teeth and struggled, “Chu Yunhan, you despicable villain!”

       Chu Yunhan breathed heavily; it was he who had just made the move. The children of the Chu family had learned self-defence techniques from a young age to handle sudden dangers. This chop was one of the simplest ways to neutralise an opponent. Seeing someone raise a gun, he shouted urgently, “Don’t shoot him!” His agitation caused a sudden dizziness, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

       “If you don’t want to kill, I won’t kill him. Why so anxious?” Sheng Ming held him in his arms. Seeing the wound on his head, he clicked his tongue twice, took out a handkerchief to hold the wound for him, and said with a smile, “It won’t look good if you have a scar, beautiful.”

       “You damn near killed me.” He couldn’t help but curse.

       “So you have to wear your seat belt when riding in the car.” Sheng Ming smiled, helped him get into his car, bent over and fastened his seat belt for him, and said, “No one will disturb you now, we can have a good talk.”

       “What to talk about?”

       “The reward for the hero who saved the beauty.”

       Chu Yunhan’s heart sank and he said, “You are taking advantage of the situation.”

       “Yeah.” He admitted readily, “I still know the matters of the underworld. Previously, there was a rebellion within Black Eagle’s ranks involving Grey Wolf, and then you disappeared without a trace. So, I suspect you were caught up in it. With no news of your death or appearance, it’s likely you were detained. After receiving your message, I became even more certain of this. Extracting you from Chu Yichen’s grasp is difficult. It’s not so much the act of intervention but the aftermath. Even if I manage it cleanly and he finds nothing, it’s easy for him to guess that the Sheng family is behind it.”

       He looked at Chu Yunhan with a smile and said, “The Sheng family is in K City. The foundation is not yet stable. Dad warned us not to make enemies, yet I risked being hunted down by Dad and Chu the Second Master for you. Shouldn’t I ask for some reward?”

       “What do you want?”

       “You should know what I want.”

       “…” Chu Yunhan avoided his gaze for a long time and said softly, “I’m really not…not gay…”

       “You’ve escaped from the Chu family, but it will be hard for you to stay in K City. With Chu Yichen coverage all over the city, there won’t be any other safe place for you. Except with me.” Sheng Ming folded the handkerchief and put it in his hand, “I won’t deny that I’m taking advantage of the situation because I’ve never been a good person. I just know that this is the only and best chance for you to agree. Ever since we met three years ago, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity. I even volunteered to transfer to K City for you. If you agree, I’ll take you away from here—whether you want to go up north or abroad, it’s entirely up to you.”

       Yes. Chu Yunhan knew Sheng the fifth’s thoughts clearly, and he was well aware of his preferences. During that chaotic first encounter, he had nearly been pinned down to the bed. He had kicked him to the ground, and from that fight, they had somehow become friends. Though they were called friends, Chu Yunhan still felt somewhat afraid of him. The way he looked at him was too intense and sometimes even made him feel as if he were stripped bare, so he later intentionally distanced himself from him.

       He asked for help at this time because there was no way out and only this person could help him.

       And the one that Sheng the fifth wanted—was him.

       Men and men…he couldn’t accept it. But there was no other way now; he didn’t want to be locked up and waiting to die again. The only option was to agree first, run away from Chu Yichen and then make plans.

       “Okay, I promise you.” Chu Yunhan said without confidence.

       Sheng the Fifth seemed to have guessed that he would agree and smiled. He hooked his tie with his fingers, brought his face close to him, and said softly, “Then, be sure to pay a deposit first.” After that, he put his lips to his and opened his mouth to wrap his tongue.

       The air in the old house had the faint smell of sandalwood, making it easy to relax. The sound of cicadas outside the window was a little noisy, but it easily brought him back to the past. Lying on the bed, many old things from his youth came to mind. He fell asleep thinking about it, and when he woke up, it was already sunrise.

       He slowly got out of bed. When the middle-aged man waiting in the hall saw him coming downstairs, he nodded and greeted, “Young Master Yun.”

       “Du Chuan.” Chu Yunhan searched his mind briefly before recalling this name, “Long time no see.”

       Du Chuan was the housekeeper personally selected by Chu Yu. He had been with Chu Yichen since he was young and was responsible for taking care of all his daily life. In his impression, this man always had a gentle and refined demeanour, never lost his temper, and was always calm and composed. He did things in a very orderly manner, almost never making any mistakes.

       “Yes. Are you having breakfast now?”

       “Yeah.” He responded and sat down at the dining table.

       Plain porridge, small side dishes, accompanied by two or three types of Chinese dim sum—these were still the old man’s habits. He ate slowly and methodically, biting into the shrimp filling, and asked, “Is this still Aunt Wang’s cooking?”

       “Yes.”

       “Have you eaten yet? Why don’t we sit down and have something?”

       “I’ve eaten; enjoy your meal.”

       The attempt to get closer had failed. Chu Yunhan pretended to ask casually, “How has Jiahui been lately?”

       “I’m not sure about Miss Zhou’s situation.”

       “Has she come here to see me?”

       “No.”

       He frowned, “No? Not even once?”

       “Yes.”

       How could that be? Jiahui usually loved inviting him out for meals, but it had been three months without any contact—but not even once had she reached out to him?

       “Did Chu Yichen say something to her?” Chu Yunhan raised his eyebrows, “What lies did he make up to deceive her?”

       “I don’t know.”

       He said angrily, “Interesting. You spend every day with that master of yours, but you don’t know anything?”

       Du Chuan remained silent, his expression still impeccably polite, leaving no room for criticism.

       Chu Yunhan knew that there was no point in arguing with him, so he put down his spoon and said, “Arrange a car for me. I want to go out.”

       “The young master has told me that you need to stay at home for the time being.”

       He was startled, “…What do you mean?”

       “Without the Young Master’s consent, I cannot arrange for you to go out.”

       Chu Yunhan asked in disbelief, “He wants to lock me here?”

       No response was equivalent to a tacit admission.

       “Ha, ‘lose everything’, that’s what it is.” He angrily kicked the table leg, trying to calm his emotions, “Did he say how long he would lock me up?”

       “No.”

       “I want to see him. Where is he?”

       “The Young Master is out.”

       “When will he come back?”

       “I don’t know.”

       “…” He sat dejectedly for a while and said gloomily, “Let me know when he gets back. That’s not too much to ask, is it?”

       “Alright, Young Master Yun.” The butler responded politely.

       His phone had been taken away by the bodyguards the night he was caught. There was no TV signal in the room, and the curved display screen could only be used for playing single-player games. Although he was allowed to move freely within the mansion, the scope of his movement was limited to his room and some ‘accessible’ common areas, such as dining rooms, libraries, and hot spring pools. When he tried to enter the computer control room, he was stopped coldly by the bodyguard. Du Chuan told him tactfully that permission was required to enter the computer room.

       Who’s approval was needed? It’s obvious. That person had completely confined him, cutting off all possible connections with the outside world. Chu Yunhan patiently waited for a full three days, but Chu Yichen still hadn’t returned. When he asked Du Chuan, the only response he got was—Young Master was busy.

       Yeah right. What was he busy with? He just wanted to avoid seeing him.

       At first, he could pass the time playing games and reading books, but as time went on, everything started to feel meaningless. After all, he had spent the past few years living a carefree life, travelling, vacationing, horseback riding, skiing, playing golf, racing cars, chasing young models, and partying in nightclubs—living it up. Now, confined to this small space with no entertainment, it was unbearably frustrating, and what made him even more anxious was the lack of news about Jiahui and his mother.

       Chu Yunhan paced around his room like an ant on a hot pan every day. As the days went by, his anxiety continued to churn and was forcibly suppressed, making it a real torment. With half a month passing and Chu Yichen showing no intention of appearing, he steeled himself and began a hunger strike.

       Sure enough, on the third day of his hunger strike, when his legs were weak from hunger, Du Chuan came upstairs and asked him to come down, saying that Chu Yichen was back.

       The man was wearing a dark brown silk home suit and was sitting on the large sofa in the study room reading documents. Hei Yu stood behind him, bowing and talking to him from time to time.

       Chu Yunhan was impatient. He sat on the opposite sofa and asked bluntly, “How long do you plan to lock me up?”

       The man flipped through the documents in his hand and said, without even raising his head, “Why? Are you tired of living here?”

       How could you not get tired? There was nothing in this miserable place. He kept his words in his heart and said in a low voice, “I want to go out to see Jiahui. You can also send someone to follow me.” After saying that, seeing that the other party did not react, he quickly added a guarantee, “I won’t cause you trouble.”

       “Jiahui went to Northern Europe to relax and won’t be back for the time being.”

       Chu Yunhan was stunned, “Why would she go there?”

       Chu Yichen raised his eyes and looked at him lightly without answering.

       That look made his heart pound. It took him a long time to figure it out, and his face became hot. The purpose of sending Jiahui far away was to prevent her from getting involved in the rebellion he started. Not only would it be embarrassing for her to be in the middle of a brotherly rivalry, but it could also be dangerous if things got out of hand. He had vaguely thought of this at the time, but the situation was urgent, and he was led by the grey wolf half-heartedly, so there was no way he could take care of so much. Chu Yichen obviously considered the problem much more carefully than he did.

       “Then…when will she come back?”

       “You don’t need to know.” The man cut off the conversation, “You and she will never have the chance to meet again.”

       Chu Yunhan sat stiffly, his throat dry, “You want to lock me up for the rest of your life?”

       “Now you understand what it means to have nothing?”

       He felt a chill all over as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, cold from head to toe. This guy was serious. When they gave him the choice of life or death, they had already prepared for this, intending to imprison him for life.

       Was this what the so-called heir’s education has produced? So cruel.

       What was the point of living as a prisoner, even if he lived a long life with good clothes and fine food? But when the words ‘Then just kill me’ came to his lips, he couldn’t say them out. He was afraid that the person’s understatement of ‘Okay’ would really turn him into a cold corpse. He was afraid of death.

       He wanted to live; even if locked up, he still wanted to live.

       How sad.

       He hated himself for being so weak and stupid.

       His eyes turned red unknowingly. Chu Yunhan stood up and walked out. A man’s deep voice came from behind him, “If you think the hunger strike is interesting, feel free to continue.”

       He paused, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

       You wanted me to commit suicide? But I won’t go along with your wishes.

       He walked out of the study quickly and said to Du Chuan in the hall, “I’m hungry. Prepare a meal for me.”

       The imprisonment continued, and Chu Yunhan’s mind was filled with thoughts of how to escape except for eating and sleeping every day. After waiting for a full week, he finally got the chance. Early that morning, Du Chuan informed him that he was temporarily staying in his room and was not allowed to go out. He also sent two bodyguards to guard the door. He knew that someone he knew must have come to the old house.

       When he was a child, the old man also set up curfews. He would often sneak out in the middle of the night to join his friends for fun and practice his ability to climb the balcony and jump into the water pipe. Now he rummaged through the box and found the old rope he had used. He crouched on the balcony, looked around carefully, and, taking advantage of the moment when no one was watching, swiftly slid down the pipe.

       After having lived there for so long and scouting the area several times in recent days, he carefully made his way forward, hiding and avoiding detection. He had been hiding behind a shelf in the east wing storage room for a long time before finally hearing sounds from the garden outside. Peering through a small window, he saw the back of someone in a pink dress, and his heart leapt with joy, almost causing him to knock over the shelf. Once he managed to calm himself down, he crouched by the window and imitated a few bird calls.

       This was a game they used to play when they were kids. He would spend all day playing and running around with Chu Minran, causing a ruckus in the courtyard. Chu Yichen, with his calm demeanour, mostly spent his time reading but would occasionally join in their games. Zhou Jiahui was the daughter of the little brother of Chu Yunhan’s mother, Zhou Yuran. With the younger sibling often bedridden due to poor health, Zhou Yuran would frequently bring her to stay with them. The little girl was very cute and won the old man’s affection, and also repeatedly called him ‘Yunhan ge’. Because she was young, she could never find them during hide-and-seek and would end up crying in frustration. Chu Yunhan would mimic bird calls to draw her attention so she could find him, and then he would help her look for the others.

       This sound was like a secret code between the two of them. When they grew up, they always liked to joke like this. As soon as he called twice, Zhou Jiahui turned around in surprise. It took her a long time to see him through the small window.

       Chu Yunhan hurriedly made a silent gesture and winked at her desperately. Jiahui came out to answer the phone and was very surprised to see him, but she saw that he looked anxious and did not look like he was playing around. Then she avoided others and quietly entered the storage room.

       “Why are you here? Yichen ge just said that you…” She was interrupted before she could finish her words. Chu Yunhan said anxiously, “I don’t have time to explain. Lend me your mobile phone.”

       When he got the phone, his hands were shaking. He hurriedly pressed a series of numbers and sent a message with only four words.

       “Help me. Chu Yunhan.”

       “I choose the second.”

       It was not a hard choice.

       Survival is a human instinct, and he was only twenty-eight years old, far from the age to see through life and death.

       As long as he could keep his life, what did it matter if he lost everything? At worst, they could kick him out of the Chu family, erase his identity, and leave him penniless on the streets. Such a life might be tough, but it was still better than death. At least staying alive meant there was still a future.

       Chu Yunhan, who had returned from the hell gate, finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he stood up, he found that his legs were a little weak. He followed Chu Yichen out of the private room and saw Tang Shaocheng leaning on the corridor. The two people’s eyes met, and each saw surprise in the other’s eyes.

       Tang Shaocheng’s eyes darkened. He adjusted his expression and greeted Chu Yichen with a smile, “Young Master Chen, here for some fun as well?”

       “Had some free time today, thought I’d drop by.” Chu Yichen replied. The Tang family had developed quite well in logistics in recent years, and since the two sides had cooperated before, they knew each other.

       “After all, you are the most charming. No matter how much I try to win him over, this Ah Zhou guy doesn’t give me the slightest chance, let alone make an appearance.”

       These words made Chu Yunhan’s eyebrows jump. This guy was actually acting jealous at this time. He glanced at Chu Yichen secretly, and seeing that the other party was calm, he did not dare to speak rashly, so he could only remain silent.

       “He doesn’t often appear in public, so General Tang may not have recognised him. This is my brother Chu Yunhan.” The man said slowly, “A while ago, he made some mistakes and was punished by being made to work as a waiter in his own place to experience life. Speaking of which, I must thank General Tang for looking after him these past few months.”

       Brother?

       Tang Shaocheng was stunned, and it took him a long time to return to his senses. The person he had been chasing for so long was actually the eldest young master of the Chu family, and countless ‘no wonders’ suddenly filled his heart. No wonder his manners were impeccable, his taste refined, and he wouldn’t accept any gifts or give him the time of day. A cold sweat broke out immediately. He had actually tried to get this young master into bed… He quickly recalled if there had been any actions or words that might have offended the young master and hurriedly said, “I truly had no idea. If I have offended Young Master Yun in any way, it was completely unintentional. I sincerely hope Young Master Yun won’t take it to heart.” After all, the Chu family was not like any other business partner; offending them could lead to serious trouble.

       Chu Yunhan did not expect that Chu Yichen would reveal his identity so straightforwardly, but since he was given the script, he could only act according to it and said perfunctorily, “Not at all. It’s rare to meet a friend like General Tang—consider it one of the gains from this life experience.”

       Only now did Tang Shaocheng get a good look at him. His skin was fair, with brown hair, double eyelids, and long eyelashes. Beneath his slanting eyebrows, his deep-set eyes seemed to hold a hidden allure. His face, flushed with a peachy hue from the alcohol, was undeniably handsome. Such a face, unfortunately, belonged to someone untouchable—it truly was a pity, he sighed inwardly. But he was a man who knew when to hold back; once he identified a danger zone, he would never cross the line. As for the stains of spilt wine on Chu Yunhan, he naturally wouldn’t ask any more questions about their origin.

       Three identical black Mercedes-Benzes were already waiting at the door of Lihao. Fortunately, he didn’t have to sit in the same car as Chu Yichen. Chu Yunhan leaned on the back seat and breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the person clearly in the passenger seat, he was stunned.

       “…Uncle Yang?”

       “Young Master.” Yang Lin turned around and spoke rather awkwardly.

       “Are you okay? He didn’t do anything to you, right?” He asked anxiously. Lihao’s supervisor was Yang Lin. Finding himself here was tantamount to intentionally hiding him. This was a serious crime in the meeting, and he was very worried about Yang Lin’s safety.

       “Young Master Yun, I’m truly sorry…” Yang Lin spoke with his head lowered, his voice choked and faltering. “I wanted to help you; I was always trying to find a way, but then I slipped up, and Hei Yu discovered some clues… If I continued to hide it, I wouldn’t have lasted much longer. So… I’m not afraid to die, but my family—they all depend on me… I had no choice, that’s why I…”

       Told them the truth.

       Even Yang Lin, whom he regarded as his last resort, had turned to the other side. At the end of this pursuit and escape game, what trump card did he have left?

       Chu Yunhan sat stiffly and was silent for a long time before speaking, “When did he know about it?”

       “About a month ago.”

       So it turned out he had been exposed long ago, even earlier than he had anticipated. Chu Yichen had already made it clear that there was a connection between himself and Tang Shaocheng, which meant he had been under surveillance for some time. The fact that they waited until today to make a move against him was likely because they wanted to see if he could stir up any more trouble. Thinking of this, he felt a tightness in his chest, a suffocating discomfort.

       “Eldest Young Master, the Second Master has kept your matter under wraps, and only a few senior executives in the company know about it. After all, you are brothers; he will surely forgive you…”

       “Stop talking.” He leaned back on his seat tiredly and closed his eyes. He knew in his heart that Chu Yichen asked Yang Lin to appear here just to let him understand that he had betrayed his relatives and had no one to rely on. If he wanted to live a good life, he had to obey.

       Was there really nothing left?

       He clenched the fist hanging at his side.

       No one spoke in the car, and the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Chu Yunhan looked out at the fleeting lights and shadows outside the window and suddenly recalled a fairy tale his mother told him many years ago. In the story, a circus trapped all the homeless animals in a huge cage, dragging them along as they wandered and performed. Eventually, a bard came to their rescue. At that moment, he felt like one of those lost animals, confined in a small cage, hastening towards an unknown destination in the night.

       But where was the bard who could save him?

       He closed his eyes tiredly and stopped trying to read the road signs. No matter what Chu Yichen wanted to do to him, it was just a matter of dealing with challenges as they came and protecting himself as best as he could.

       About half an hour later, the car came to a stop, revealing a familiar scene. A brightly lit traditional Chinese courtyard with a round archway leading to an exquisitely landscaped garden. Walking through the covered walkway and around a pool of jade-green water, one would find a three-story building with white walls and blue tiles.

       Chu Yunhan looked up to the room on the right side of the third floor, and the wooden wind chime hanging on the wooden pane window made a faint sound in the night wind.

       That was his room.

       Or rather the room that once belonged to him.

       This old Chu family residence was the place where he grew up. The old master of the Chu family enjoyed lively gatherings, so his sons raised all the children here. It wasn’t until they reached high school that each of them returned to their own homes. Even so, during holidays, everyone would come back, and they would meet frequently. Afterwards, when his father, Chu Qin, suddenly passed away from a heart attack, Chu Yunhan rarely came back. Meanwhile, after Chu Yichen was confirmed as the next family head, he continued to live in the old residence with both of his fathers.

       Although the old man who sent off the young man with black hair did not speak of it, his spirit suffered as a result. He then passed away six months later. At the funeral, the two of them had black gauze wrapped around their arms and stood side by side with Min Ran on the side of the mourning hall. Jiahui’s suppressed crying could be heard behind them. No one spoke. From beginning to end, it was like two trees growing alone, hiding all their emotions in the tree holes, standing upright and silent.

       That was the last official meeting between them. Two years later, Chu Yu retreated to seclusion for physical reasons. Chu Yichen officially took over the Chu family’s leadership and became the family’s head. Chu Yunhan graduated from university and held the title of director of several companies. He lived freely in the mountains and seas for a long time and made many friends. Chu Yichen called him back several times during this period, but he ignored them. It had been a long time since he returned to his hometown this time.

       Chu Yunhan followed the man upstairs and opened the door. The furnishings in the room had not changed. On the table were the handmade motorcycle models he had made before and some photos he had taken when he was young. On the table were a used gamepad. The room was cleaned and spotlessly clean.

       “You will live here starting today.” Chu Yichen only said this and left. Chu Yunhan sat for a while, then stood up and opened the wardrobe. On one side of the inside were the clothes he had worn and even a set of junior high school uniforms that he had left behind in the old house and forgotten to take away. On the other side were several sets of cotton home clothes, all of which were loose-fitting. They seemed to have been washed and were exactly the size he was wearing. He took a shower, washed the red wine off his body, and put on his clothes and slippers. However, he had no desire to sleep, so he went downstairs to take a stroll.

       The night was deep, the moonlight serene, and the indigo sky dotted with twinkling stars. A thin layer of mist floated on the pond. He walked slowly along the path paved with pebbles by the edge of the pond. The wind rustled the drooping willows, brushing past his hair, sweeping across the water’s surface, creating delicate ripples. He was heading towards a pavilion not far away when he heard a rustling sound and stopped to find its source.

       Suddenly, a huge black shadow stood up from the wall, scaring him so much that he took a step back. When he looked closely, he saw a big black dog looking at him warily, and he was suddenly frightened out of his wits.

       Damn, I forgot there was this guy by the pond!

       “T-thor…” He was afraid of dogs. When he was a child, despite warnings, he boldly tried to provoke a pregnant shepherd’s dog, and was knocked to the ground by a swipe of its paw. If the bodyguard hadn’t arrived in time, his arm would have been bitten to pieces. Since then, he has been afraid of dogs, especially large ones.

       The big dog seemed to recognise his voice, relaxed its guard, and walked towards him with its tail wagging. “No, don’t come over! Don’t come over, don’t come over…” Chu Yunhan turned pale with fright, and his legs and feet became weak, and he kept backing up. Seeing that the dog was about to pounce, he turned around and ran away in a panic. “Here, help!” Before he could even shout out, he bumped into someone. The man was knocked back a step, clasped his wrist, and said in a deep voice, “Thor, stop!”

       The big dog stopped behind him, stuck out its tongue, and barked softly.

       Chu Yunhan’s whole body froze, and he barely recovered from the panic. He raised his eyes and saw the person coming. His face immediately turned red, and he whispered, “I…forgot it was here…” but couldn’t continue with the next sentence.

       The distance was too close, so close that they were almost touching.

       He backed away from the other person’s arms in embarrassment. He felt a hot and humid puff of air behind his back. It was obvious that he was about to hit the dog. His hair stood on end immediately, and he hid forward and pressed into the other person’s arms again.

       Awkwardness squared¹something like awkward2.

       Chu Yichen looked at him indifferently, showing no intention of retreating to make way for him, nor did he ask the dog to leave. So Chu Yunhan was caught between the man and the dog, unable to move forward or retreat, and became a patty in the hamburger.

       Embarrassing to the Nth power.

       “Can… you make it go away first?” He lowered his head and asked. For some reason, he didn’t dare to look into the man’s eyes.

       After a long silence, Chu Yichen finally said, “Thor, go back.”

       The big dog looked at the two people and reluctantly returned to the kennel next to the wall to lie down. Chu Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took a step back. In order to ease the embarrassment, he said something else, “It really listens to you.”

       Chu Yichen let go of his wrist and said expressionlessly, “To me, an obedient dog has a value of existence. The same goes for people.”

       “Not bad at massaging. I didn’t know you had the talent to serve others.” The man retracted his legs and teased.

       Chu Yunhan’s body was cold after being recognised, and his brain slowly came back to consciousness from a blank state. He tried to stand up but was held down by someone pressing on his shoulder.

       “Young Master Yun, don’t move.” Bai Xiao, who appeared behind him at some point, whispered with a smile, “If you move around, you may have multiple holes in your body.” It seemed like a joke, but it carried an undertone of coldness.

       Only then did he feel the gun pressed against his back shoulder, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He looked at Chu Yichen. The man resembled a deity with lowered eyes amidst swirling incense. His expression extremely unreadable, as if it could change at any moment, with his mood unpredictable.

       Chu Yunhan didn’t dare to move.

       At Hei Yu’s signal, all the ‘outsiders’ including Cao Kun withdrew. Only Chu Yichen, who was sitting and half-kneeling, Hei Yu, Bai Xiao and four bodyguards were standing in the room.

       Was this a family secret not meant to be exposed? He sneered inwardly, thinking that Chu Yichen was truly just saving his own reputation.

       The lights gradually turned on.

       “The hair is so ugly.” Chu Yichen’s voice floated down from the top of his head.

       The burgundy wig was pulled off by Bai Xiao, revealing the short brown hair underneath. Hei Yu took a disposable comb from the cabinet beside the bed and combed his hair neatly.

       “Much better.” The man finished the wine in the glass and shook it at him, “Come here and pour some wine.”

       Chu Yunhan maintained his one-knee kneeling position and did not move. After a moment of silence, he said, “I thought you didn’t let me move? You can pour it yourself.” When he was hiding before, he was constantly on edge, nearly driving himself crazy. But when the situation reached the point of being exposed, he became calm again. He knew very well that there was no way out once he fell into Chu Yichen’s hands, and there was no point in struggling. It was more satisfying to just break a jar and throw it. However, the unconscious gesture of clasping his fingers still betrayed his inner tension.

       The man raised his eyebrows. Chu Yunhan only felt numbness in his shoulders and arms, and then a layer of burning pain slowly emerged, and a warm and sticky feeling seeped out. Bai Xiao’s bullet accurately passed over his left arm, scratching his sleeve and leaving a deep blood mark on his skin.

       “The next shot won’t be that far off, Young Master Yun.” Bai Xiao’s voice was cold.

       Chu Yunhan’s face turned pale, and he stood up numbly. His legs were a little weak, and he staggered before he stood up. He walked slowly to the man’s side and poured wine for Chu Yichen.

       “It’s too boring to drink like this, sit down and play dice with me.” The man said, “Guess the number, the loser drinks.”

       Can I even say no? Chu Yunhan smiled bitterly in his heart and sat down on the single sofa next to him.

       In front of both of them sat identical empty goblets. Hei Yu knelt on one knee before the coffee table, then placed two dice into a black dice cup. He shook it vigorously a few times, stopped, and moved his hand away from the table.

       “You first.” Chu Yichen said.

       Anyway, it was a matter of a blind cat hitting a mouse. Chu Yunhan guessed randomly, “Big.”

       The dice cup was opened—ten points. He had actually guessed it right.

       Bai Xiao poured a thin layer of red wine into Chu Yichen’s glass. The man shook it and drank it in one gulp.

       Round two. The other party still asked him to guess first. Chu Yunhan chose ‘small’, but it was nine points, he lost. Bai Xiao walked up to him, lowered the mouth of the bottle, and the red wine continued to flow out until the entire glass was filled.

       “What’s this?” He frowned, “It’s not fair at all.”

       “It’s indeed unfair.” Chu Yichen looked at him calmly, “I never said this was a fair game from the beginning.”

       “You…” He wanted to stand up but was pushed down on the sofa. Bai Xiao had a usual smile on his face, “Don’t move.”

       “If you have the guts, shoot me dead,” Chu Yunhan gritted through his teeth.

       “If the young master gives an order, I will be happy to carry it out.”

       Chu Yunhan felt a chill run down his spine as the hidden murderous intent in that smile sent goosebumps all over his body. He sat stiffly and said to Chu Yichen, “You want me to drink all this glass?”

       “Latour, 1989, Bordeaux red wine. It’s your favourite flavour, if I remember correctly.” The man leaned on the sofa and looked at him lazily.

       Chu Yunhan pressed his lips together, picked up the glass filled with deep ruby-red wine, and tilted his head back, closing his eyes as he drank it down. The sour taste flooded his mouth, gradually turning numb with each swallow. No matter how fine the wine, drinking it this way would only make it hard to stomach. After finishing the glass, he placed the empty cup back on the coffee table.

       Hei Yu continued shaking the dice cup. Five points—small. He guessed right again and exhaled slightly in relief. However, the game continued. After Chu Yichen drank the sip of wine in his glass, the dice began rattling inside the cup once more. Now Chu Yunhan understood why the man had so generously let him guess first—because under these rules, no matter how long the game went on, he would always be the loser. He could only pin all his hopes on luck, wishing he could keep guessing right. Unfortunately, good luck always slips away too easily.

       After guessing wrong four times in a row, he felt nauseated and dizzy as he looked at the wine. He picked up the cup and put it down again, saying, “I can’t drink any more.”

       Chu Yichen put his hands on the back of the sofa and looked at him. Seeing that he still didn’t move, he said, “Bai Xiao, help him.”

       “Young Master Yun, I’m sorry.” Bai Xiao neatly lifted Chu Yunhan’s chin with his hand, forced him to open his teeth, and then poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.

       Chu Yunhan’s eyes widened, and he struggled desperately. However, his body was pinned firmly to the sofa by the bodyguard, leaving him no room to move. The wine he drank choked into his trachea, and he instinctively began to cough. At the same time, he was forced to swallow the liquid that made him breathless, making a whimpering sound. After the glass was poured out, the bodyguards let go. He arched his back and coughed violently. In addition to his face, his white shirt and uniform were also stained with red wine, making him look miserable. Chu Yunhan coughed for a long time before he calmed down. He stared at the person opposite him with red eyes, “Have you had enough?”

       “Go on.” Chu Yichen said nonchalantly, “Guess, big or small?”

       Clearly, the game would continue, never ending until the one in control decided to call it off. Chu Yunhan knew that he was now like prey trapped by a pack of wolves with no chance of escape, left to be toyed with and tormented at the whim of his captor. A wave of despair surged in his heart.

       There was no way out.

       He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, and said, “Let’s change the game. The outcome will be decided in one round. If I guess right, you let me go. If I guess wrong, you kill me.”

       The man looked at him, the amusement in his eyes growing stronger and stronger. His brows stretched, his thin lips raised, and he said lightly, “Okay.”

       He actually…agreed.

       Chu Yunhan was a little stunned for a moment. He stared at the other person for a moment but could not see any other emotions from that face, as if the bet that decided his life and death just now was just an ordinary entertainment game and a pastime.

       It was an expression of indifference.

       The man did not care whether he lives or dies.

       He had anticipated that falling into Chu Yichen’s hands this time would mean a beating, torture, or even being shot—pain so intense it would make him wish for death. But he was certain that, no matter what, the man wouldn’t let him die; that was why he had strategically suggested this wager. Now, this certainty wavered. He began to doubt that his assumption was fundamentally wrong—that Chu Yichen truly intended to take his life. In trying to be clever, he had only given the other man a reason to act, pushing himself to the edge of a cliff.

       “Guess, big or small.”

       Chu Yunhan trembled, looking at the dice cup that had stopped in Hei Yu’s hand in despair, and then turned his gaze back to Chu Yichen. His eye circles were a little red, and after a long time, he said dejectedly, “Big.”

       “You sure?” The man looked at him with a half-smile, “You can think about it for a while, I have time tonight.”

       There was a fine line of sweat on his forehead, mixed with the still wine, making it very sticky. There was a scale inside his head, with two weights, ‘big’ and ‘small’ placed on it, swinging left and right. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He raised his forehead and changed his words, “Small… I choose small.”

       The dice cup was opened.

       Chu Yunhan stared rigidly at the two dice, motionless as if frozen in place. It wasn’t until Hei Yu softly said, “Young Master Yun, you lost,” that he dazedly lifted his head, his eyes clouded with a mist, his voice hoarse, “So, you’re going to kill me, is that it?”

       “These are the rules of the game you set.” Chu Yichen leaned on the sofa and tilted his head slightly, and Bai Xiao pulled out the gun again.

       “You can’t kill me…” He stood up suddenly and was immediately pushed back into the single sofa by two men in black. Bai Xiao’s gun was pressed against the back of his head. Chu Yunhan’s face turned pale, and he spoke tremblingly, “Chu Yichen, if you kill me, Uncle Yu and Uncle Xu will never forgive you, as well as Min Ran and Jiahui… “

       “As the head of the family, it is my duty to clean up the traitors.” The man glanced at his frightened face and said, “Don’t worry, I will still allow you to be buried in the family cemetery as the eldest young master of the Chu family so you can properly keep the old man company.”

       “No, it can’t be like this…” He was already in a state of confusion and only wanted to survive. He shouted, “Yichen, I was wrong. I only agreed to them in a fit of enthusiasm… I didn’t know how things would turn out. In this way, I really don’t know… Yichen, I—”

       “That’s enough! Don’t call me that.” A cold voice interrupted him. The man’s black pupils seemed to be burning with two jet-black flames, melting heat and coldness into one place. Every word he uttered seemed to be frozen, “Every time you call me that, it reminds me of the act you put on over the phone. Your voice trembling, saying you were scared, asking me to save you, crying and calling my name. Tell me, what was your expression at that time?”

       “I was wrong…” Chu Yunhan felt Chu Yichen’s undisguised anger for the first time. This anger made him tremble with fear, and he kept begging for mercy softly with red eyes, “It was because of my obsession that I did those things…I don’t dare to do it anymore, please…”

       The whole room was so quiet that the only thing left was his cry for mercy.

       After a long time, the man’s cold voice sounded.

       “I can give you two choices. The first is to die with everything. The second is to live without everything.”
