After Lu Yan sent over the photo, he was anticipating Bi Lanxing’s response. As a result, the response was only the four words “Wife is really handsome.”
His words were nice to hear, Lu Yan bit his lips while holding his phone, but they weren’t what he wanted.
When he took the photo, he deliberately pulled down the collar of his uniform and revealed his nape. He tried to find an angle where his gland could be seen in the rearview mirror, thinking that it would rile up Lanxing.
As a result, the slow-witted alpha might not have even noticed his little scheme.
It’s true that Operation Towel didn’t fail, but it also didn’t completely succeed. Although Lanxing agreed to buy the motorcycle, it was obvious that there was still room for regret. As long as Bi Lanxing deliberately delayed taking the motorcycle license test, he would never be able to buy a motorcycle.
Bi Lanxing was a blockhead, an idiot who may not even react when sitting on his lap. Plant alphas were all like this; being lukewarm and slow, and were far less passionate and direct than beast-type alphas in expressing their love. Lu Yan made up his mind that he had to trick him. The rabbit won’t stop until he gets that motorcycle.
There were more than 99 friend requests on his phone, the chat box was also filled with useless greeting messages. Lu Yan had only graduated from Ampheia Military Academy for three years, and was far from disappearing from the contact list of his old classmates, so his contact information on all major chat software was dug out by his underclassmen and circulated crazily in the group.
Lu Yan held the phone, his rabbit ears shaking impatiently. He couldn’t keep up with deleting all the messages and ended up deleting the useful ones while doing so.
Before choosing to reject all messages from strangers, Lu Yan suddenly came up with an idea. He took a screenshot of the 99+ message page and sent it to Bi Lanxing.
“Hehe, let’s see if you’ll listen to me now.” Lu Yan bit his lips and smiled evilly, then took a few photos of the students walking in groups by the railing. He picked out a few photos of good-looking alpha underclassmen and upload them along with the screenshot, posting them in his Moments with the following words—
“It’s nice to be young. I remember that our class had the most handsome boys. How nostalgic.”
Then he set it so that only Bi Lanxing could see it.
“Woohoo!” Lu Yan was overjoyed. Once Lanxing saw this, he would be so jealous that he would take the initiative to get a motorcycle license within three days. Competition between alphas was much more intense than that between omegas. Possessiveness and jealousy were common problems that were engraved in the genes of alphas, and there was theoretical support for this in medicine.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded a hundred meters away, and the warning light on the communicator on his collar turned red. Lu Yan heard the police issue an arrest warrant, “The target has been found, there are also two accomplices, and they’re all holding guns. We would like to request assistance from the IOA agents. The target’s position has been sent.”
Lu Yan put his phone in his pants pocket and zipped it. He took a look at the target’s location sent to his watch; the target was right outside the school gate near the subway station.
“IOA Lu Yan, received.”
The wanted researcher had been located. He couldn’t drive and couldn’t leave the school area, so he was forced to choose a crowded subway station to hand over things during the chaos.
The subway station near the school was crowded, making it difficult to block and search. The target researcher was carrying experimental subject samples from the 109 Research Institute, which might include some deadly virus samples. In order to prevent him from being cornered and smashing the samples on the spot, the police station did not dare to send a large number of police officers to surround him and alert him, so they could only ask for the assistance of the agents.
Lu Yan didn’t put on any disguises; he walked straight into the station, neither hurried nor slow. He had studied at Ampheia Military Academy since he was little, so he was familiar with the school’s terrain as if it was his own home.
IOA public agents were like weapons in a window display case; they usually only carried out public missions with identifications, mission orders issued by their superior, the IOA exclusive badge and pistol. Their existence was the armed strength that IOA shows to the public. Their appearance and background information could be bought on the black market with money, leaving almost no secrets left to speak of.
The wanted criminals, of course, also knew the faces of the Search Division agents.
The fleeing researcher caught sight of Lu Yan’s figure in the crowd. He quickly lowered his head and pulled the hood of his windbreaker tight to cover his face. He then squeezed into a more crowded area and called the other two accomplices, informing them of Lu Yan’s location.
“The person following us is a M2 lop-eared rabbit, be careful.”
But after he finished speaking and turned around, Lu Yan had already disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had successfully shaken off the pursuit.
One of the accomplices suddenly said nervously, “He’s behind me. I’ll lead him to the west exit while you guys take the opportunity to go to the east exit to hand over the goods.”
“Alright.”

The accomplice gritted his teeth and said with resentment, “When I turned around I didn’t see him anymore.”
They darted through the subway station with overlapping terrain, and unknowingly, the crowd around them became sparsely populated, empty and quiet. After walking for dozens of steps, not a single soul could be seen.
The researcher was a bit flustered and couldn’t help but pick up his pace.
However, there was a figure obstructing the dim light ahead; they had a petite and slender figure, with long and strong legs—which were a characteristic physique of a rabbit.
The researcher recognized Lu Yan, and his legs and feet went tense until it was stiff. He wanted to turn around and flee, but his body suddenly shook, and someone put their hands on his shoulders from behind.
“It couldn’t be that you want to escape, right?”
A pure and cute omega’s face leaned close to his ear.
Lu Yan locked his neck with his forearm from behind, hit him hard on the waist with his kneecap, and the goods flew out of the researcher’s hands. Another Lu Yan easily grabbed it, the heavy bag hung on his index as if it didn’t weigh anything.
Lu Yan, who was a distance away, walked over with his hands behind his back. He bowed in front of the researcher who was howling in pain and shook out his ID, his lips curled up into a smile. “The IOA’s public agent, Lu Yan, will send you off. What an honor for you.”
Meanwhile, the other two accomplices unknowingly drove to an empty area of the subway station. One of them was already aware of the danger, so before they got driven into a corner, he randomly grabbed a student in a school uniform and escaped with a gun to the student’s temple.
The other person wanted to flee, but it was already too late. Honey-scented sweet oppressive pheromones came rushing forward from all sides and stuck to his body.
He had nowhere to escape, and just when the subway door was about to close, he took the opportunity to get on it to slip away.
There was no one on the subway train, all the seats were empty, and the handrail hoops swayed gently as the subway moved.
He took out his gun and vigilantly pressed his back on the door, waiting until the subway arrived at the next stop to escape.
When the subway arrived at the next stop, it was accompanied by the melodious music of the door opening.
He raised his gun and was about to rush out when he was suddenly stunned on the spot, then he backed away in a daze.
In every compartment, a Lu Yan walked up to the open doors, and when the doors were closing, more than a dozen identical lop-eared rabbit omega looked back at him at the same time. They held up their IDs and handcuffs together and waved them at him.
¤¤¤
The news of Lu Yan assisting in the arrest operation near the campus was reported to the Search Division chief by the tracking personnel of the IOA Tech Department. The chief was planning to go check up on Bi Lanxing’s work, but when he opened the door, Bi Lanxing was pinching the space between his brows and looking at his phone. He let out a sigh, placed the phone on the desk, then opened the drawer to look for something.
He usually commutes in the Audi A6 that the headquarters allocates to the operators, but today he took out the keys to the Porsche 911 that were thrown in the corner of the drawer and tossed them into his pocket.
The Search Division chief saw that he was about to get off of work and asked with an eyebrow raised, “Wait, who let you get off of work?”
Bi Lanxing’s path to promotion had long been arranged by Bai Chunian. Even if he didn’t rely on his recommendation based on his background, Bi Lanxing had always been respectful, polite and obedient towards his superiors,and had never shown arrogance or conceit. He was more down-to-earth and willing to work than those staff members without connections. His dedication was unparalleled; incidents of tardiness or leaving early were unheard of. His unusual behavior today might be due to encountering some difficulty.
Bi Lanxing stopped his movements. “Um, Chief, I want to get off of work early to pick up a kid. Is there something wrong?”
“Forget it… There’s no next time.” The chief shook his head. “Lu Yan captured the wanted criminal while assisting the IOA Police Station. The other party had three people, in which two carried a gun. It’s safer for you to connect to the command line to ensure the safety of the crowd and not to cause panic.”
After Bi Lanxing heard this, he opened his laptop and looked up Lu Yan’s current location, then contacted Lu Yan, “Report the situation.”
After two seconds, Lu Yan answered relaxedly, “The researcher and one of the accomplices has been handed over to the police officers. The goods handover has been intercepted by me. The other accomplice fled into the subway, took a GT-R owner and a student hostage, and is now racing in the opposite direction of the main road.”
Bi Lanxing searched up the real-time map and looked at it. “Stop him, don’t let him enter the countryside.”
“Aiya, I know.”
On the main road, the flow of traffic had already been disrupted; the hijacked GT-R was charging rampantly, driving recklessly toward the countryside wilderness area where there was a chance to escape, with a dozen or so police cars in hot pursuit behind it with their sirens blaring.
The police officers were worried about the hostages, not daring to rashly open fire. However, the fugitive was not in the least concerned; he turned around and stretched out his pistol through the window, hitting the front tire of a police car.
The police car’s front tire blew up, causing the entire car to spin and rolled to the side.
After a few minutes, the GT-R broke through the barricade and charged into the countryside, but a black hole suddenly flashed in the air directly in front of the fugitive’s field of vision.
Lu Yan jumped out from the Cunning Rabbit’s Cave and landed on the ground in an instant. His hands pressed on the front hood of the car, forcing the car to slow down with his bare hands. He then kicked the windshield into pieces, pulled the innocent driver and owner of the car outside the broken glass, and threw him to the triangle formed by the safety barricade to wait for rescue.
The criminal holding the gun tossed aside the student hostage and threw himself into the driver’s seat to steady the out-of-control car. He raised the pistol and crazily fired, but Lu Yan’s associated ability, Supersonic Speed, dodged them one after another. The windshield shattered into a spiderweb pattern.
The car, which had already slowed down, accelerated again. Lu Yan tried his best to cling to the car to avoid being thrown off, the broken glass pierced his palms and fingers. Surprisingly, Lu Yan still had the strength to free one hand to his lips, bite the ring on his middle finger with his teeth, and tucked it in his pocket and zipped it up.
A Porsche 911 suddenly rushed out from the road that was urgently blocked by traffic police, swerving wildly on the road, and drifted. After two intense spins, it blocked the GT-R’s path and forced it to stop.
Lu Yan took the chance to climb up to the roof of the car, his hands gripping the window frame and he swung down. He kicked the car window and pulled out the student hostage.
The two people briefly looked at each other; the student showed a frightened expression.
The face looked really familiar—wasn’t he his old classmate who was ridiculed by Bai Chunian by taking out his 19-year-old ID card back then?
“Eh? No way, how come you still haven’t graduated yet?” Lu Yan widened his eyes and mumbled to himself, then tossed the hostage forcefully to the outside the cordon.
But it was at this moment, Lu Yan chose to protect the hostage, which caused him to lose the chance to subdue the fugitive first. The fugitive jumped out of the driver’s seat and pressed the gun to the back of Lu Yan’s head.
“Tsk.” Lu Yan slowly raised his hands.
Bi Lanxing got off the Porsche 911. He didn’t have time to change into his combat uniform, still wearing the formal clothes he usually wears when commuting to work. He loosened his tie while walking over, used his Poison Ivy Armor on Lu Yan, and inclined his head to say to the communicator, “Get ready to call it a day.”
In an instant, the vines protected all of Lu Yan’s vital points, while Lu Yan turned over and elbowed the gunman in the side of his ribs. The person was caught off guard, firing a shot in a hurry. The bullet hit the Poison Ivy Armor and shattered, but Lu Yan was unharmed. He spun around and gave him two consecutive kicks, kicking the pistol out of the man’s grasp. His other foot struck the man’s lower jaw and sent him flying eight meters away. The man suffered a comminuted jaw fracture and a fractured right leg, rendering him defenseless on the spot.
The police officers were busy with the arrest and escort of the criminals, evacuating the public, and calculating the damages. Bi Lanxing sent the student hostage back to school.
The alpha student was called Chu Xiang; a long time ago, he hated Lu Yan and would mock and ridicule him. Later, he accidentally bumped into Bai Chunian’s gun, and was subjected to a round of sarcastic taunting, which caused him to be humiliated at school for a while.
Lu Yan sat in the passenger seat, turning to look at him. “Bro, it’s ridiculous that you still haven’t graduated yet. You still haven’t passed the ATWL Exam?”
Chu Xiang was mocked into silence. In fact, he had always known that Lu Yan had excellent grades and was a close-combat genius. He just didn’t want to admit it and was trying to find a reason to belittle him to make himself feel better. But now, there was no point in deceiving himself anymore. This time, it was Lu Yan who personally rescued him from the car of the armed fugitive.
“…Thanks,” Chu Xiang squeezed out the words in embarrassment while rubbing his hands together.
“Hmph.” Lu Yan turned around and sat back in his seat in satisfaction. He picked up the large cup of iced mochi milk tea he had just bought and drank it. He raised a finger above the back of the seat and shook it. “It’s the IOA responsibility, don’t mention it.”
Bi Lanxing held the steering wheel, thin vines grew from his fingertips and wrapped around Lu Yan’s red nape, replenishing Lu Yan’s exhausted energy through their symbiotic relationship. Bi Lanxing glanced at the bare base of Lu Yan’s middle finger.
“Lu Yan, where’s your ring?”
Lu Yan unexpectedly heard his full name, which startled him, but he was inwardly amused. Lanxing must have seen the post he made visible only to him on his Moments and was holding in his anger right now.
“Ring? I forgot it at home.” Lu Yan deliberately provoked him.
Bi Lanxing raised his eyes to look at him, the brief glance made Lu Yan shiver inexplicably. Lu Yan guiltily inclined his head and secretly observed Lanxing; it was indeed an illusion. Even if Lanxing was angry, he would be very gentle and never harsh.
When they arrived at the school gate, it was during the students’ free time. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by students.
Lu Yan’s photo had long been circulating in the major groups on campus. The students became excited when they saw Lu Yan, especially the beast-type alphas. A group of underclassmen were wagging their tail next to Lu Yan, asking him if he was single right now.
“Of course I’m not…” Lu Yan blurted out, then suddenly winked at Bi Lanxing slyly. “Oh, that can be the case, too.”
However, Bi Lanxing’s expression remained calm, nor did he refute his words, which made Lu Yan feel a bit unsure.No way, does he not care or is he already angry? Did he take it too far?
At this moment, an omega carefully went over to Bi Lanxing and asked in a quiet voice, “Senior Lanxing…you…do you have a lover right now?”
The little omega eagerly waited for his answer. Lu Yan also turned around and stared at him.
Bi Lanxing spread out his hands and said warmly, “If Lu Yan doesn’t have one, then neither do I.”
Now it was the little omegas turn to be excited. Students who knew Bi Lanxing in the past knew that Senior Lanxing had always claimed that he had a lover and rejected all pursuits decisively, so very few people would go in front of him to make a fool of themselves.
Vines grew out of Bi Lanxing’s fingers, each vines wrapped around the phones the omegas handed over to him, adding all ten of them as friends at once and accepting their friend requests on the spot.
The class bell soon rang, and the student waved goodbye with reluctance. Bi Lanxing even slightly smiled as he waved.
Their surroundings quieted down, and only the two of them were left beside the car.
Bi Lanxing turned around to look at Lu Yan. Lu Yan was glaring at him, his rabbit ears standing erect.
“What’s the matter?” Bi Lanxing leaned against the car door.
Lu Yan jumped up and grabbed Lanxing’s neck. “Bi! Lan! Xing! I’m gonna choke you to death—I didn’t even add them, yet you add ten of them all at once!!!”
“Didn’t you have more than 99 of them? And you even missed those handsome classmates.” Bi Lanxing let him shake his own neck as he pleased, his hands resting on Lu Yan’s butt to prevent him from falling.
“I just took a screenshot to show you! I wanted to piss you off.” Lu Yan took out the ring from his pocket and silently put it on his middle finger. “I put it away when I was chasing the car earlier, I was afraid of damaging it. Bi Lanxing, you are so petty.”
“Petty bastard, come here.” Lu Yan grabbed his tie and pulled him down. “Give me a bite mark, now.”
Bi Lanxing couldn’t help but chuckle. “We’re outside, and this is Ampheia.”
“So what, are you going to bite or not?”
“…”
¤¤¤
All the buildings bearing the name Ampheia were investments of the Jiu’an Hongye Xia Family.
Today, the headmaster was treating, asking Xia Pingtian to help him introduce Lu Shangjin to him over dinner.
Bi Lanxing’s car was parked right in front of that very restaurant. Lu Shangjin and Xia Pingtian walked out together, and from a distance, the young couple entangled in front of the car looked a little familiar.
In Lu Shangjin’s perspective, it was very clear—his own good son looked fierce, pulling on Bi Lanxing’s tie like a bully. He kicked and bit the other party. Bi Lanxing ultimately lowered his head and bit Lu Yan’s nape, they kissed for a long time, and Lu Yan’s face was full of satisfaction.
Xia Pingtian held his chin and looked across. “Tsk tsk, is this little rabbit engaging in coercion? Rui-ge’s child is well-behaved, so when he’s with your family’s Lu Yan, he gets bullied everyday.”
Lu Shangjin, “Mhm…so it’s Lu Yan forcing him…?”
The several school leaders that came with them were puzzled but smiled and agreed with a “Yes, yes,” and a “right, right.”
“Oh.” Lu Shangjin pretended he didn’t see, holding Xia Pingtian’s shoulder and left.
