Chapter 1

Aboard a spaceship in the middle of the cosmos.

A financial conference had just concluded during the day and at the evening cocktail party, many people caught up with each other and talked about projects of interest.

People were leaving early, even while drinking and mingling, because of an appointment that didn’t let them stay.

At the same time, in one of the spaceship’s elevators.

Yu Lan was lying on a stretcher bed.

Next to him stood a man and a woman, as well as two of the spaceship’s staff members.

The woman was holding one of the staff members and softly said, “Thank you very much, it’s a good thing you passed by or we wouldn’t have known when we’d be rescued, even the remote caller was broken! Thank your leader for us!”

In fact, they would never have had easy access to such spaceship had the aircraft not lost nearly all of its functions.

-That’s right, their aircraft was broken.

And the man and the woman were no ordinary people, but two human traffickers.

After being locked up by them for sixteen years, Yu Lan was finally sold for a high price, but during the delivery, the aircraft suddenly broke down and lost all functions after a spin. When he woke up, this spaceship just so happened to pass by and offered them help.

Staying put wasn’t a problem, so the man and woman talked it over and boarded the spaceship with Yu Lan, who they thought was still unconscious from the drugs they had injected in him.

They didn’t know that Yu Lan had long been resistant to drugs and had been clear-headed from the very beginning.

At this moment, Yu Lan closed his eyes tightly, waiting for an opportunity.

Hearing the woman’s words, the staff politely replied, “It’s what we should do.”

“So, now we are going to-,” The man asked with a smile as he looked at the rising number of floors.

The staff member explained, “Your room has been arranged to a guest room on the first floor, but the infirmary is on the sixth floor. I will take you there after the doctor has finished the examination.”

The man and the woman were secretly shocked and quickly said, “No need, no need, there’s nothing to check, we’re fine!”

Upon inspection, the drug in Yu Lan’s body could be discovered and then things would be hard to explain.

Somewhat surprised, the staff member looked at the pretty young man lying on the stretcher and said, “But he’s unconscious…”

“There’s really no need, let’s just directly go down-”

As the woman was speaking and was trying to press the elevator floor number, it suddenly stopped. They were on the fifth floor.

The elevator door opened and two drunk men stood outside, shoulder to shoulder. They took one look inside, saw that it was crowded and laughed, “Aiyo, what’s wrong? How come a stretcher was used?”

The staff immediately greeted them, “CEO Qin, CEO Liu.”

One of the men waved and smiled, “It’s fine, it’s fine. You guys go ahead, we’ll wait for the other one.”

The elevator door was about to close and at the moment no one noticed, Yu Lan opened his eyes-

Right now!

He turned over and got off the bed, knocking the woman off her feet. He shoved the stretcher out and jammed it between the elevator doors, scaring CEO Qin and CEO Liu, that they jumped to either side!

When the people didn’t react, Yu Lan jumped back over and slammed the man against the elevator wall, then shouted to the staff, “They’re human traffickers, quickly call someone over!”

The sudden turn of events stunned the staff. When the woman and man came back to their senses, their faces suddenly changed!

This kid was actually awake!

The woman was hit and in a lot of pain, temporarily unable to stand up. She just put her hand behind her waist, trying to pull out the dagger hidden under the hem of her clothes and suddenly thought of something. She glanced at the two stunned staff and changed demeanour towards Yu Lan, surprised, “Ah Lan, when did you wake up! And what are you, what are you doing!”

She hurriedly told the staff, “Sorry for the inconvenience, our son is mentally ill, we didn’t think he would have an outbreak at this time-”

The man was also hit by Yu Lan and sucked his breath in. He understood the woman’s intentions and following the act. He endured his anger, forced a smile and tried to grab Yu Lan’s hand, “Yu Lan, be good. Stop fooling around!”

Yu Lan originally wanted to wait until the place was a little more open and had a little more people before acting, but at this moment he saw the two staff members frozen in place at a loss. They obviously didn’t understand the situation and the two outsiders were stupid and couldn’t help him. He gritted his teeth and kicked the man, directly turning around and ran out of the elevator, heading deeper into the corridor!

“Yu Lan!” Coldness flashed in the woman’s eyes as she struggled to get to her feet and chased him, shouting, “Help me get him back, that child is mentally ill, you can’t let him run around!”

The staff looked at each other in confusion and didn’t know what to do, so they quickly followed.

Yu Lan’s bare feet were barely audible on the good carpet.

His heart was beating so fast, pounding like it was going to jump out of his chest!

I can’t let them take me back, I have to run faster!

He’d been locked up for sixteen years and had thought about the worst-case scenario, which was to perish together, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he didn’t want to give up.

To escape, to live!

However, even if he was resistant to the drug, Yu Lan was almost at his limit. The whole world was spinning and it was like lead was hanging from his limbs, making them almost unable to swing-

“Yu Lan!” The woman hurriedly chased after him, staring at his back and couldn’t wait to crush him!

Yu Lan didn’t dare to look back and only rushed forward as hard as he could, even though he didn’t know what awaited him ahead-

In the next second, he gasped as he came around the corner and crashed into a person!

Lin Yu followed behind Shao Mingyu and was making a report while walking.

They had just left the cocktail party. Although there were a lot of big shots persuading them to stay, they had gotten a lot of new information today. Seeing projects popping up one by one, Lin Yu was excited and was planning to follow her boss back to the room to have a nice meeting, but did not expect a strange person to suddenly come around the corner and run right into Shao Mingyu.

“CEO Shao!” He was taken aback.

Yu Lan was a little dazed from the impact and froze as he looked up into a pair of deep, black eyes.

The man was handsome and had a look of indifferent.

However, upon meeting Yu Lan’s eyes, his pupils tightened.

It was also at this point that the people at the back had caught up.

“CEO Shao!” When the staff saw the man, their voices tensed and quickly explained, “Sorry, we encountered an out of control aircraft just now. CEO Jiang said to pick them up, but we didn’t expect-”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my child is mentally ill, I didn’t expect him to have an outbreak at this time.” The woman fixedly stared at Yu Lan then compensated the man with a smile and shouted, “Yu Lan, get over here, don’t cause trouble for others!”

The potency of the drug was gradually gaining the upper hand.

And at the same time, Yu Lan felt that there were other changes quietly happening in his body.

There was no way to run anymore.

He gasped for air, weakly grabbing the man’s arm to support himself and shook his head, asking for help, “They’re human traffickers, help me…”

When the woman heard those words, coldness flashed in eyes.

“Yu Lan! Don’t be ridiculous!” She sauntered over, trying to directly pull Yu Lan over, “Quickly get over here!”

Her fingertips were about to touch Yu Lan. Yu Lan tightened his grip on the man’s hand, closing his eyes and lowering his head. His forehead pressed against the man’s chest, slightly trembling.

The next second, his waist was held.

Whether it was the woman, the man, the staff members or the assistant behind the man, they were all stunned.

Yu Lan reopened his eyes with a “swish” and looked up at the man.

The man stood there, his eyebrows drooping.

His gaze darted between Yu Lan’s deep blue eyes and then landed on the woman.

His eyes were cold.

The woman shuddered for no reason and swallowed.

She was a beta.

And the man in front of her was an alpha.

Moreover, he was a very powerful alpha that made her feel pressure like never before.

Under his gaze, she was even a little afraid to move.

“Yu Lan?” The man spoke in a deep voice.

Yu Lan blankly looked at him and replied, “I am.”

“…CEO Shao?” Lin Yu cautiously spoke.

Shao Mingyu’s gaze swept over the woman, settling on the two staff members behind her and coldly asked, “You’re not calling the police?”

“Wha-” The woman stiffened.

The two staff members looked at each other.

Lin Yu was confused for a moment and although he didn’t know what was happening, it didn’t prevent him from blindly following his boss and immediately shouted, “Arrest them! Call the police!”

The two staff members were shocked.

The woman and man gritted their teeth and instantly pulled the knife hidden behind their backs. Seeing that the two staff members knew something was wrong, they rushed over and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

“CEO Shao- this-”

The two staff members were both alphas and as a beta, Lin Yu didn’t dare to go forward, his hands shaking as he called the spaceship’s security!

And Yu Lan’s eyes heated up.

Perhaps it was because of relaxing, but his legs softened and the whole person slid down.

His forehead was sweating, but his face was flushed.

Lin Yu’s nose moved, smelling a scent in the air. After reacting, he looked at Yu Lan and stammered, “C-CEO Shao, he is in heat!”

***

There was a gradual spark in the body that ignited at one point and began to burn.

It was like ants were crawling around, itching and hurting.

The feeling was indescribable, but Yu Lan knew what it was.

He didn’t know why, but since his estrus period began when he was eighteen, his estrus intervals had been getting shorter and shorter, recently, it’s even got to the point where it’s been coming every few days.

-No, not only him. All the omegas in the hands of those traffickers were undergoing the same changes as he was.

Yu Lan shuddered slightly. At this moment, his sense of smell had become very sensitive.

He could clearly smell the faint alpha pheromones on the man.

Elegant, gentle, like a woody fragrance…

There were only a handful of alpha’s that Yu Lan had come in contact with, whether they were the ones he met at the orphanage or the trafficker couple’s associates, their pheromones make Yu Lan feel sick.

But this man was different.

Yu Lan gasped for air and raised his eyes to look at the man, even his breathing became hot.

The man’s eyes darkened, held his waist and picked him up.

Without paying any attention to the people who rushed over and the chaos, Shao Ming-Yu dropped a sentence, “Bring the inhibitors here,” and took Yu Lan into a room.

The automatic sensor light in the room came on, but it was dim.

Immediately after being placed on the bed, Yu Lan curled up and bit his lower lip.

His ears were buzzing and he closed his eyes, sweat pouring out of his back and forehead.

I can’t. I can’t be near an alpha.

“Don’t bite it.” The man whispered.

I can’t be near. Yu Lan bit down hard on his lower lip. His body’s changes and instincts made him feel ashamed.

“Be obedient,” The man knitted his brows, releasing his pheromones.

The heavy alpha pheromone swept over and enveloped Yu Lan.

Yu Lan stiffened, his brain became empty for a moment.

Instead of being completely ignited as he expected, on the contrary, the man’s pheromones were soothing, as if all the heat had been swept away by a fresh breeze. Yu Lan’s entire body was relieved, laying almost paralyzed on the bed.

He was in a trance, but he was no longer as uncomfortable as before and there was even a sense of security that he had never felt before.

A completely unfamiliar experience.

***

Lin Yu scrambled to the inhibitor vending machine at the end of the corridor to get an omega inhibitor, then scrambled into Shao Mingyu’s room.

The man was half-kneeling on the bed, while the youth was curled up and leaned into his arms.

In the room, the omega and alpha pheromones were a mess. The formerly elegant woody fragrance became very overbearing and strong after it got heavier and a sweet, fruity scent entangled with it…

Lin Yu subconsciously sniffed and that’s when he realised that it smelled like grapes.

Tch, it’s so sweet.

In other words, if he hadn’t seen the two just staying next to each other, he would have thought that “that” had already happened…

…This was too explosive. After all the years of following the boss, he had never seen him do this for any omega.

Fortunately, as a beta, he was not sensitive to these pheromones.

Lin Yu trembled and walked in, “CEO Shao, the inhibitor.”

Without looking back, the man reached for it and helped the youth inject the inhibitor.

After a while of reassuring him with his alpha pheromones, the man got up from the bed.

The youth laid on his side on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep and was silent.

“CEO Shao,” Lin Yu self-consciously lowered his voice, “What’s going on? Do you know this person?”

The boss wasn’t one to meddle in other people’s business.

Hearing those words, Shao Mingyu unbuttoned the topmost button of his shirt, loosened his collar and walked out of the room.

At this point, the two traffickers had been completely restrained.

Fortunately, none of the staff members were injured- every person this spaceship carried was important, so the convener of the conference, CEO Jiang, the one who heartily let the traffickers on, also recruited the staff and they were all very reliable in physical fitness.

This also came as a surprise to the two traffickers- after all, they had a murder weapon on them and thought they’d have no problem fighting against the average alpha.

Guns and whatnot were too big of a target, so they didn’t bring any onto this spaceship.

They were pressed to the ground and looked up, staring angrily at Shao Mingyu.

The staff hurriedly said, “CEO Shao, we’ve called the police!”

Shao Mingyu swept past the two indifferently and nodded, then he dialled a number and put the phone to his ear. When the call connected, he said to the other party, “I’ve found him.”
