Chapter 27: Capture

Chapter 27 Capture

Li Xiang was lucky—when he fell, the bamboo pole an old lady had on her balcony snagged his clothes, suspending him high above the ground.

Cai Gu leaned out the window to look at Li Xiang, whose face had gone pale. His limbs were stiff, and though he was afraid to move, the bamboo pole was already bending under the weight of an Alpha, its shaft curved into a semicircle.

Li Xiang looked up and saw three heads peering down from above. He screamed in terror: "Quick! Save me!"

He Yanxing's expression was cold: "He's a goner. My condolences."

Yue Jin just stared at him with a smile, saying nothing.

Li Xiang had no choice but to put all his hope on Cai Gu, looking at him pitifully.

Cai Gu felt tense under his gaze and instinctively brought his hands to his chest. His eyes darted around, left and right. Unable to find a way out, he finally met Li Xiang's eyes again: "Have a nice trip?"

Li Xiang trembled with rage at the three of them, unable to speak a word. Just as he was about to curse, the bamboo pole let out a crisp sound.

"Ah!!!!"

Li Xiang's scream echoed through the entire neighborhood. Cai Gu was older and couldn't stand the sight of blood, so he covered his eyes first, then buried his face in Yue Jin's chest.

The expensive accessories on Yue Jin's robe pressed into Cai Gu's soft, smooth muscles.

Yue Jin enjoyed Cai Gu's embrace. He flashed a provocative smile at He Yanxing and was about to rest his chin on top of Cai Gu's head when an annoying voice came from the side.

"Someone's saving him."

Cai Gu immediately pulled away from Yue Jin's embrace and leaned out the window. He saw several hands reaching out from a window below, grabbing Li Xiang's arms just in time to stop him from falling six floors and turning into pulp.

Yue Jin's chin met only air. He gritted his teeth, almost grinding them into dust, and glared fiercely at He Yanxing.

He Yanxing adjusted his glasses, completely ignoring his gaze. He stepped forward and took the spot beside Cai Gu: "These are monks from the Blue Luo Religion."

"Huh?" Cai Gu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and let out a confused hum, then looked at Yue Jin.

"Li Xiang is also a monk of the Blue Luo Religion. I wonder how Yue Jin plans to deal with him."

Cai Gu stared at Yue Jin with wide, round eyes full of trust. He knew Yue Jin must be a good person and wouldn't let a fraudster off easy.

Yue Jin wished he could sew He Yanxing's mouth shut right then. A smile hung on his lips as he mocked, "If you care so much about the Blue Luo Religion's affairs, why don't you become the Holy Son?"

"No thanks." He Yanxing brushed the dust off his clothes with his hand. "The Student Council has a lot of work. I don't have the time."

Cai Gu didn't notice the tension in the air. He frowned and quietly asked Yue Jin, "Are you here to catch him?"

Yue Jin nodded: "Yes. He committed some crimes and needs to be brought back for judgment."

"Why did you come here with him?" Yue Jin pouted jealously, acting spoiled in front of Cai Gu.

"He scammed many students on the school forum." Cai Gu explained to Yue Jin, not mentioning the photoshopped picture of himself, not wanting to worry him. "We followed the GPS all the way to this room."

Yue Jin didn't think much of it. He noticed He Yanxing eavesdropping on their conversation. The corner of his mouth lifted, his golden eyes shining. He leaned close to Cai Gu's face: "I've been so tired these days. I haven't slept well at all."

"Can I have a kiss?"

The room suddenly fell silent, only the sound of wind rustling leaves outside could be heard.

Cai Gu looked at Yue Jin in surprise, feeling conflicted. He was afraid that directly refusing would hurt Yue Jin's feelings.

Cai Gu studied Yue Jin's face. He had just been fighting with He Yanxing and had bumped into the furniture. Right now, Cai Gu kind of disliked these two dirty kids.

After a moment of thought, Cai Gu finally found a clean spot on Yue Jin.

Yue Jin, who had been waiting for a reply for a long time, felt his heart racing. Just as his smile was about to falter, Cai Gu looked up and gently kissed Yue Jin on the lips.

The kiss ended quickly. Yue Jin, who had been kissed, was still stunned. His eyelashes fluttered, and his face was full of disbelief.

He had never dared to even dream of such a kiss. He had only hoped Cai Gu would kiss his forehead or cheek, but never expected he would kiss him on the lips!

Yue Jin wished he could have recorded that moment and framed the picture to place by his bedside.

Cai Gu just wanted to comfort Yue Jin: "Good job. Make sure to rest well and don't wear yourself out."

"Xiao Cai! Xiao Cai!"

The old lady downstairs was calling for Cai Gu. She saw a group of people barging into her home and remembered that Cai Gu said he was going to catch some fraudster today. Feeling uneasy, she feared he might be in danger.

"Huh? Granny, I'm here." Hearing the old lady's voice, Cai Gu quickly lifted the hem of his robe and ran downstairs.

The cramped, dirty room was suddenly left with only He Yanxing and Yue Jin. He Yanxing calmly released the window, which now bore his fingerprints. He looked over; his blue eyes cold and icy beneath his glasses.

Yue Jin smugly covered his mouth with his hand, gloating sarcastically: "Oh my, how did you know that Mom just kissed me?"

He Yanxing held the candy in his pocket, couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He curled his fingers and pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses: "You'd better take care of your brother first."

At the unfamiliar term, Yue Jin was momentarily confused, until He Yanxing added: "Yue Xun is connected to this man."

He Yanxing vaguely guessed that Cai Gu's photos were the work of Yue Xun. He simply had no evidence and couldn't directly meddle in the Blue Luo Religion's internal affairs, so he hadn't taken action yet.

The smile on Yue Jin's face faded. His lips pressed into a straight line. He gathered his loose white robe: "Yue Xun?"

He Yanxing felt he had said enough. He had no obligation to explain things to a fool, so he left the stinking room and went to find Cai Gu.

Downstairs, when the old lady saw Cai Gu's torn collar, she was furious. She grabbed a broom and went after Li Xiang, and the scene downstairs instantly turned chaotic.

When Li Xiang was carried out, his face was covered in scratch marks. The monk bowed respectfully and reported to Yue Jin: "Holy Son, we searched his room thoroughly and packed up everything useful."

Yue Jin, through the stairwell gap, watched Cai Gu's back—his straight posture and broad shoulders made it hard for Yue Jin to look away. During the days of judging the believers, Yue Jin had hardly slept, his whole body wound tight as a bow.

Cai Gu's kiss had brought him back from the brink of death.

Cai Gu noticed Yue Jin's gaze. He tilted his head and looked back, a gentle smile on his lips. He pointed at his own head.

Yue Jin imitated him and touched his own hair, only to find a strand of hair tangled in an accessory. By the time he untangled it, the door in front of him had already been closed.

Yue Jin thought to himself: Mom...

Now he couldn't wait to cling to Cai Gu, to lie in his arms, to breathe in the milky scent of him and fall asleep.

Li Xiang, bound on the ground, whimpered, snapping Yue Jin back to reality. He gave Li Xiang a disgusted glance and waved his hand to signal the monks to drag him away.

To resolve things quickly, Yue Jin went to the nearest church. While unfastening his robe, he listened to the report from the monk beside him.

The monk handed over a file folder and laid the photos before Yue Jin. All of them were explicit photos.

"These are photos Li Xiang created. On the one hand, he used them to scam Alphas out of money; on the other, he borrowed the Blue Luo Religion's name to seduce Omegas, cheating them out of both money and sex."

Yue Jin narrowed his eyes. He rested his long fingers on the table, and he kicked Li Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, over.

"Continue."

The acolyte dared not look around; his head was almost buried in his chest. "There are also these photos, which he had taped to his headboard, with traces remaining on them..."

Yue Jin lazily lifted his eyelids, but upon seeing the person in the photos, his expression instantly turned grim. Cai Gu was posed in various ways, exposing his soft, plump buttocks or sticking out a red tongue dripping with saliva.

"Show it to him." Yue Jin took a deep breath, forcing down the fury inside him. The golden hair hanging by his face obscured his expression at that moment.

Li Xiang felt Yue Jin's anger; he had heard of the Saint's methods—ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking.

Looking at the photos on the ground, which he had used for his own gratification many times, a sudden thought struck him. Cai Gu's appearance overlapped with the person in the photos. Too afraid to tell the truth, he began to babble nonsense: "He, he's a slut for sale. I paid him, and he gave me the photos... He said he needed money, had several kids to support at home... Holy Son, you saw it yourself, he came to my place today on purpose."

Yue Jin's mood instead calmed down. He asked flatly, "Is that so?"

"Ah!" A sharp dagger pierced through Li Xiang's palm, and the lily-scented pheromones fiercely attacked his mind.

Li Xiang was in so much pain he couldn't speak, writhing on the ground.

The acolyte beside him quickly knelt as well.

Yue Jin sat back down in the leather chair, lowered his eyes, and supported his thick golden hair with his hand. "Speak."

"It was Young Master Yue. He told me to photoshop these. He said this person was a slut selling himself everywhere at school, and he told me to post the photos on the forum."

Yue Jin's hand tightened, his nails piercing through the skin of his palm. He had left too hastily, thinking that having someone watch Yue Xun would prevent any trouble.

He never expected... never expected...

Yue Jin closed his eyes, his heart had never been as calm as it was now: "Go bring Yue Xun here. If he resists, don't worry about his status—just grab him directly."

"As for him." Yue Jin looked with disgust at Li Xiang, who had fainted. "Cut it off, and then inform those deceived Alphas of his whereabouts."

Sweat dripped from the acolyte's temples. He hadn't expected the Saint to be this furious. Without hesitation, he quickly agreed, bowed his head, and left.

As he left, he didn't forget to drag the unconscious Li Xiang away.

The air was thick with the smell of blood. Yue Jin twirled the dagger in his hand, lost in thought.

Title: [Hot] Damn, I just saw people from the Blue Luo Religion coming to the dormitory to arrest Yue Xun.

Wait, who? Yue Xun got arrested?

2L

Good riddance. I've been sick of Yue Xun for ages, always causing trouble at the academy. If it weren't for his brother being the Holy Son of the Blue Luo Religion, there's no way a D-grade Alpha like him could study at Yasa Academy.

3L

So does anyone know why he got arrested?

4L

No idea, but can I ask why the other thread got locked?

5L

The poster above is really bold—bringing that up. Last time 250 accounts were banned.

6L

So which gate is my wife working security at? I've circled the school three times, staring at those crappy security guards, I'm going blind!

7L

That security guard looks almost 40, probably already someone else's wife...

8L

MILF? I love MILFs. Besides, if she's out working security, her family must be short on cash. Spend a bit more money, and she might just climb into my bed willingly.

9L

So any more hot pics of her? Without them, how am I gonna get through the night?

...

Mod's here!

Cai Gu stood by the window of the break room, curiously looking toward the Alpha dormitory. He leaned on the windowsill with both hands, his soft black hair sliding down his shoulders.

The distant dormitory was brightly lit and unusually noisy, as if a bunch of monkeys were inside, trying to tear the roof off.

He Yanxing, just back from evening self-study, leaned against the doorframe. He took off his silver-rimmed glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. His eyesight wasn't too bad, and he could vaguely see the curvaceous silhouette by the window, blurred as if covered with a thin veil, yet still stirring the imagination.

"Yue Xun was arrested." Seeing Cai Gu's evident curiosity, He Yanxing explained coldly.

"Arrested?" Cai Gu couldn't quite digest the news. He blinked in confusion. "Then can I go back to the security booth now?"

Seeing his eagerness to leave, He Yanxing's eyes darkened. He thought of the kiss Cai Gu had initiated earlier, and his irritation grew.

Actually, he could do without the kiss.

He would have been satisfied if Cai Gu had just let him bite his leg.

"Yeah." He Yanxing lowered his eyes, hiding the desire in them. If he weren't about to leave the academy on business, he would never let Cai Gu go.

The path back to the security booth wasn't long. They deliberately took a detour through the little paths to avoid the students on the main roads.

The cool evening breeze brushed their faces. Cai Gu, fresh from a shower, exuded a soft warmth as he wrapped his shawl tighter.

"Are you upset about something?" The security booth was right in front of them, but Cai Gu stopped. He looked gently into He Yanxing's blue eyes. "Is it because of your grades?"

"I am upset, but not about grades." He Yanxing's expression turned serious, and he raised his chin confidently. "My overall score is first in the academy. I'm upset because..."

Because Cai Gu knew Yue Jin so well. They seemed very familiar.

But He Yanxing couldn't say that directly. He pondered for a moment. "There's no worthy opponent. The people at this academy are too stupid."

Cai Gu recalled the practice book Jiang Yu had shown him and nodded in agreement discreetly. "But..."

Cai Gu gently stroked the top of his head, took his hand, and placed a candy in his palm: "Don't be too tired, relax once in a while."

During these days in the lounge, Cai Gu had never seen him take a break. He was not only responsible for the Alphas in the detention room, but also had to handle student attendance, classroom hygiene...

Yet despite all that, he still managed to become the top of his grade. Cai Gu genuinely admired him.

He Yanxing felt the warmth of Cai Gu's hand as he murmured the word "relax," but his gaze lingered on Cai Gu's gentle, mature face.

"Okay."

His breathing grew rapid. Thinking of a way to relax, his whole body became hot. That pair of stockings was still hidden under his pillow.

He Yanxing watched Cai Gu's retreating figure. The buttocks wrapped in the nightgown swayed slightly with each step as he walked alone on the path.

If he were to run up behind him at this moment, push him to the ground, he would surely be terrified and immediately think of calling for help. But Alphas are always despicable—they would cover his mouth tightly with a hand, not allowing him to make a single sound, and then rub the back of his neck with fingertips, searching for that shriveled gland.

Countless images flashed through He Yanxing's mind. His glasses gleamed coldly in the darkness, making him look like a total creep.

"Forget it," he said. He Yanxing remained in the same position, not moving. "Next time."

If he acted on the thoughts in his mind this time, his identity would surely be guessed immediately.

Only after Cai Gu entered the security booth did he reluctantly turn and leave. He lifted his head and took a deep breath; the air still seemed to carry Cai Gu's scent.

.

Though he had only been away for a few days, a layer of dust had settled in the security booth. Cai Gu rolled up his sleeves and wiped everything down, then took out Yue Jin's quilt to hang in the sun.

Cai Gu was carrying so many things that his vision was completely blocked. He strained to stand on tiptoe, trying to hang them on the clothesline.

"Creak."

Cai Gu heard a crisp sound. He wrinkled his face and instinctively reached to support his waist, and the quilts he was holding all fell down at once.

Just as the quilts were about to hit the ground, the team leader's hand reached out in time and caught them.

Cai Gu breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, at least they didn't get dirty."

While helping him hang the quilts, the team leader asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Cai Gu moved gingerly and sat down cautiously, as if from experience, and muttered grumpily, "I think I twisted my waist."

Worried the dust from cleaning would get in his hair, Cai Gu had tied a square scarf around his head. The red scarf with white polka dots made his head look like a mushroom.

As he grew older, his body grew weaker, not as good as when he was young. Even his muscles had softened, like delicate decorations.

"Let me take a look." The team leader knelt on one knee and lifted the hem of Cai Gu's shirt. A lean waist came into view, revealing smooth, delicate skin. The team leader's hand landed on his waist involuntarily.

"It's so ticklish..."

Cai Gu was ticklish. He pressed down on his clothes with his hand, but instead trapped the team leader's hand inside. He bit his lower lip, trying to stifle a laugh. "Quick, take it off."

His refusal came out like the soft mew of a cat in heat. How could the team leader bear to remove his hand? He swallowed hard and kept saying, "It's fine, I'll just massage your waist for you."

Cai Gu's arms were weak, his whole body limp as he sat on the chair, letting the team leader feel all over his waist. But the team leader didn't do anything excessive; he honestly just massaged Cai Gu's waist.

When he finished, the team leader couldn't help but glance up. Cai Gu was leaning back in the chair, his chest heaving heavily, a noticeable blush on his face.

The team leader cleared his throat, as if to cover his thoughts. "Is your back okay?"

Cai Gu snapped out of it and carefully shifted. He tilted his head, and the scarf fell off. "Mm-hmm, it's fine."

"Captain, is there something else?"

The academy forum was only accessible to students, so the team leader didn't know what Cai Gu had been through these days. He simply thought Cai Gu had taken leave to go home and handle some matters.

The team leader sat down beside him and pulled out his phone with a mysterious air. "Let me tell you some good news, but you gotta keep it a secret."

Seeing the team leader's serious and stern expression, Cai Gu instinctively put on a straight face. "Mm."

"There's a young master in the academy who's holding a coming-of-age ceremony. The banquet will last several days. Since you've basically got nothing to do here anyway, I have a connection to get you a temporary security job there. You can earn a thousand a day."

Cai Gu's eyes widened. He repeated in disbelief, "A thousand? That's a lot..."

Cai Gu was tempted by the offer. He bit his lip. He didn't have much savings to begin with, and he occasionally had to spend money to feed a few children. The security guard's salary barely covered his basic expenses.

"But..." Cai Gu frowned hesitantly. "Would that be inappropriate? I'm still in charge of the east gate."

The team leader waved his hand casually. "Don't worry. You've basically got nothing to do here anyway. You might as well go out and earn some extra money. You don't need to worry about this place; I'll take care of it for you."

"Just be aware—the work there will definitely be more demanding."

Cai Gu made a fist and nodded firmly. "Okay, I'll definitely be careful..."

His voice trailed off. His expression turned timid. "They won't bully me there, will they?"

The team leader said with certainty, "Of course not. Why would nobles make trouble for a security guard? Don't worry! No one will bully you!"
