Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu and asked, “You Xinghai has harassed you many times?”
“Hmm. He asked to borrow money from me, asked me to help him with financing, and wanted to cooperate with me to develop projects and suc. I have been ignoring him.” Qu Moyu’s tense jaw revealed his disgust at the moment.
“Isn’t this extortion?”
“It counts as extortion now. But there is no evidence so he won’t be implicated easily.”
Shen Dai thought to himself, and soon there was: “It’s hard to find evidence about foreign assets.”
“With a series of lawsuits and that he is still in the country, he can’t get out. So he will definitely exchange something of value.” Qu Moyu said coldly, “If he dares to take an inch, he will pay the price. I will make him unable to keep his final dignity.”
Shen Dai paused and asked, “Then
 What about You Baiyue?”
Qu Moyu’s expression became visibly tense: “He is You Xinghai’s son and he can only bear the price of You Xinghai’s incomprehension.” He explained again, “That time he went to the company to find me was also instructed by You Xinghai. If it wasn’t for fear of bad influence, I wouldn’t have seen him. We have nothing to do with each other.”
Shen Dai could not forget that Qu Moyu once told him how gentle and friendly You Baiyue is. He also has high praises such as ‘like’ and ‘always wanted to marry him’. But now his indifference is also undisguised. Qu Moyu’s indifference made him look so cruel.
This name, You Baiyue, became Qu Moyu’s reference for examining himself in the past. He was a little guilty and he had to face it. He looked directly into Shen Dai’s eyes: “Ah Dai, I know you don’t trust me. I have made a lot of mistakes in the past. This time, I have implicated you and Qiuqiu. Give me another chance and let me prove that I can protect you.”
Shen Dai’s eyes habitually avoided looking back at him.
“When I finish solving this matter with You Xinghai, I will deal with Qiuqiu’s custody. I will fulfil every promise I made to you. I want you to believe that you are not completely invisible. I did all this for you. For our family. It is not just for the Qiuqiu as an heir.”
Shen Dai’s heart was not untouched. Qu Moyu is an arrogant person. But he had repeatedly lowered his ego to cater to him, he kept selling chips to him like giving up land and paying indemnities. He finally even took the initiative to name it. The trend of offence and defence between them was already reversing. On the rainy night when they were appreciating the short-lived flowers together, he did believe that Qu Moyu might really like him. But whether he accepted it or not, he knew that he still didn’t have the possibility of forgiving him. His frozen heart was forcibly shaken at that moment.
But the exposure of Qiuqiu’s pheromone level once again shattered the fragile bond between them. Qu Moyu made him pay too much price and he would rather not believe him than believing him.
Qu Moyu didn’t expect Shen Dai to respond to him, but he would not retreat so easily. When he knew that Shen Dai could even wash the ‘mark’ without using anaesthesia in order to save Qiuqiu, he not only felt extremely distressed. But he is also convinced that Shen Dai must have really loved him so much once. Therefore, the pain and disappointment he gave Shen Dai was unimaginably huge. In the face of such a gap, it was a delusion to try to fill the gap with simple promises and benefits. He finally understood these truths. So he should have more patience and sincerity.
He gently lifted Shen Dai’s jaw and his gentle eyes retrieved all the emotions in Shen Dai’s eyes: “Ah Dai, look into my eyes. I believe you can see it. I have feelings. You have awakened my feelings. It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. I will keep telling you over and over again and prove myself to you over and over again.”
Shen Dai’s heart trembled while he stared blankly at Qu Moyu’s beautifully sculpted face.
Qu Moyu smiled bitterly: “Actually you were right that day. In my heart, I really hope that you have nothing and can only rely on me and be an obedient omega with an alpha attached to him.” He paused. His eyes linger on Shen Dai’s face more and more, “But that kind of you is not what I really want at all. I carefully recall when I was sure that I was attracted to you. It must not be because of that accidental temporary ‘mark’, nor because you suddenly broke into my life. At most, I knew that I have a desire for you. It is probably due to your high-spirited speech at the investor conference. Your professional ability, eloquence and bearing that even any alpha couldn’t outshine you on stage. So, when you got in estrus in front of me at that time, I decided to possess you.”
Shen Dai’s breathing suddenly became fast.
“I know that even if I forcibly ‘mark’ you now, you’ll only hate me. You never wanted to be someone’s omega. Everything you’ve done in the past was only you trying to be yourself. So it’s not just me who wants to get you back, I also want you to find yourself.”
Shen Dai wasn’t sure if he was hallucinating. He couldn’t imagine hearing these words coming out from Qu Moyu’s mouth.
Qu Moyu gently held Shen Dai’s hand: “I’m learning to love. Although I started too late and took a lot of detours, my learning ability is very strong. I will be well-educated soon. Just like how I learned to take care of Qiuqiu. It is like that.”
“These words
 Did your mother teach you to say them?” Shen Dai asked in a low voice.
“Forget it. If you don’t believe me then these words are useless.” Qu Moyu leaned over and left a light kiss on Shen Dai’s forehead, “You go to work and live as usual. Just trust me.”
After Qu Moyu left, Shen Dai walked into the baby room and sat beside Qiuqiu, who had been coaxed to sleep by the nanny. He quietly looked at the peaceful and sweet sleeping face. For a long time, his eyes went from dazed to sober and then to firm. He knew that Qu Moyu would not let You Xinghai go, but he would not sit still and let these self-righteous bastards ruin his life. He can endure all the injustice that happens to him after assessing the risk, but he will never allow anyone to harm his child. No one.
***
After receiving the message from You Xinghai, Shen Dai made a lot of preparations. He deliberately used ambiguous words in the communication with You Xinghai so that he could leave evidence. It was as if to create the feeling that he was invited by You Xinghai to bring Qiuqiu to visit him. He made an appointment with Cheng Zimei and several colleagues to go to the hospital the next morning. The annual physical examination proved that he did not have any abnormal plans about the trip the night before. He also went to the hospital to visit his grandmother. At the same time, he deliberately quarrelled with Shen Qin in front of the doctors and nurses. This is because he planned to accept You Xinghai’s invitation and took Qiuqiu back to his house for dinner.
Shen Qin didn’t know that what he had done was discovered long ago, so naturally he didn’t dare to let Shen Dai know that he overheard Qiuqiu’s pheromone level and ran to You Xinghai to show off. He tried his best to prevent Shen Dai from going to You Xinghai. He was afraid that the You family would take a little gold powder from Qiuqiu.
Shen Dai ignored him, but also comforted Shen Qin a little, because Shen Qin was still needed in his plan.
After he had finished preparing, he went home after work and took Qiuqiu away on an ordinary working day. He told the nanny that he would take the child to have a dinner meeting and he would come back after the meal. He then sat in the car sent by You Xinghai to pick him up.
You Xinghai’s bodyguard first arranged for Shen Dai to stay in a resort hotel in the suburbs. Shen Dai took out the prepared shopping list and asked him to buy some baby products. They are for Qiuqiu’s daily use.
He carefully analysed whether this trick could deceive You Xinghai and put him on the charge of abduction and extortion. Of course, You Xinghai is not stupid. But he must have underestimated the enemy. What he said that day was completely in line with the logic of a selfish and arrogant family alpha like You Xinghai when looking at things. The omega image he created that relied on his child to gain benefits was right in line with You Xinghai’s stereotype. So You Xinghai believed him.
With this foundation, You Xinghai will relax his vigilance and he will complete the process of his plan to be abducted and asking for help tonight as quickly as possible. He will not give You Xinghai and Qu Moyu time to negotiate. This is because once the two make contact, You Xinghai will soon recover his strength. As for the evidence of when You Xinghai asking for money and ‘blackmailing’ him, he believes that Qu Moyu and Qu Shen must have had it with them long ago.
As for how You Xinghai will refute, and how the police will place it, this is not something he needs to consider. Because even he himself knows that there are many loopholes in this trick. But the Qu family’s legal team and public relations team can make up for these loopholes. Whether or not You Xinghai will eventually be convicted, it will still cause a lot of trouble for him.
You Xinghai was too busy to take care of himself and his goal will be achieved.
He had already lost his mobile phone on the way. After the bodyguard bought the baby supplies, he settled Qiuqiu first. He then waited until midnight and borrowed a mobile phone from the hotel staff to call his grandmother.
His grandmother can’t use the mobile phone anymore. The mobile phone is in Shen Qin’s hands. Sure enough, after the call was made, Shen Qin’s impatient voice said: “Hello?”
“It’s me.” Shen Dai whispered.
“Ah Dai? Just now, Mr. Qu asked people from the hospital to ask me about you. He said that you didn’t go home at night and didn’t answer the phone. I said you went to You’s house for dinner. Are you still there?”
Shen Dai took a deep breath: “I’ve been kidnapped. Now, I don’t dare to call the police. I just remember my grandma’s phone number.”
“What happened to you? What did You Xinghai do?!”
“He took me and Qiuqiu to a very remote hotel and asked me to wait for him, but he never showed up. He even told the bodyguards to take my handphone away. I don’t know what he wants to do and I don’t know where I am in the wild mountains here. I don’t dare to go out.” Shen Dai deliberately looked flustered, “Should I call the police? I’m worried about Qiuqiu’s safety.”
“You, don’t worry. I.. I.. I will inform President Qu immediately!”
After he hung up the phone, Shen Dai returned the phone to the hotel staff and wandered anxiously under the surveillance.
After a while, the bodyguard ran out of the room next to him and was stunned when he saw Shen Dai in the corridor. Shen Dai turned around and ran back into his room. The bodyguard knocked on the door and asked roughly, “Where’s your handphone? I couldn’t contact you.”
“I don’t know.” Shen Dai said across the door.
“Mr. You asked you to answer the phone.”
Shen Dai’s eyes suddenly turned cold: “You ask him what he wants to do.”
“You answer the phone yourself!” The bodyguard was obviously scolded by You Xinghai and was on fire.
Shen Dai locked the door.
