Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 43

Chapter 43

More importantly, in addition to the decline in physical fitness, what is even more painful is the change in social identity.

No matter how much equality is said on the surface, in this society, in people’s hearts, and under universal rules, Alpha has always been considered the leader and decision-maker, while Beta has always been considered the obedient and executor.

Every top industry and every important position has always been given priority to Alpha by default.

Ji Xingyuan was able to take control of the Jijia Group so quickly largely because he was a young and powerful Alpha, so the directors believed that with such a leader, the Jijia Group could go further.

What if Ji Xingyuan chooses to remove his glands and become a Beta?

The doctor doesn’t understand the shopping mall, but he understands what the public is thinking.

If Ji Xingyuan had his glands removed, many people would question how a Beta with low energy and “no ambition to make progress” could lead a behemoth like the Ji Family Group?

But no matter how much the doctor wanted to say, he couldn’t grab Ji Xingyuan by the collar and yell at him to “sober up”. He could only say: “It can indeed solve the problem, but removing Alpha’s glands will lead to a series of problems such as a decline in physical fitness, a reversal of social identity, and so on. I think it is because the susceptible period is unbearable that you have such an idea. I think you should comprehensively and systematically understand the possible consequences of removing the glands after the susceptible period is over, and make a decision when you are sober and rational.”

The doctor’s words were euphemistic, but the meaning was clear.

Ji Xingyuan didn’t ask the doctor any more, as if he had given up on this crazy idea.

…

In early September, Qi Feiluan returned to the capital after being away from the capital for more than three months.

He received his first mission and arrived at the planet. After meeting with the prospecting team, he discovered that they also hired a mercenary team.

Thinking about it, it is impossible for the prospecting team to hire just him.

The mercenary team knew and trusted each other, and they were quite repulsive to him as an additional hired person at first, especially since he was still a Beta.

But after going deep into the snowy mountains, Qi Feiluan’s understanding of the planet’s terrain and climate, his precise marksmanship and his keen perception of danger forced the mercenary team to admit that Qi Feiluan’s tactical literacy was far superior to theirs.

After the mission on the planet was completed, the captain of the mercenary team knew that Qi Feiluan was a “lone wolf” and invited him to join them.

Qi Feiluan was aimless, but he enjoyed working with this mercenary team on this mission, so he agreed to join them temporarily.

The next task after joining the mercenary team is to escort a confidential document. They need to return to Earth, board a transoceanic luxury cruise ship, and then hand the document to their employer when the cruise ship sails onto the high seas.

The mission was completed smoothly. The luxury cruise ship docked at a port in the north, very close to the capital.

Just before the luxury cruise ship docked, Qi Feiluan received a hiring mission from a mysterious person.

It was said to be a mysterious person because the identity used by this employer to post tasks on the internal website was fake at first glance. Qi Feiluan followed the fake identity and found almost no useful information.

Even the mission information released by this mysterious man only gave a simple word of security. For specific protection, he was asked to go to a designated location in the capital for an interview.

Qi Feiluan checked the location and found that it was a high-level private club.

Many employers will look for mercenaries, who are not so clean themselves. Therefore, they have a strong sense of confidentiality and are unwilling to leave traces on the Internet. It is common to ask for interviews in designated locations with high confidentiality levels.

It seems normal, but Qi Feiluan knows very well that there may be great risks involved.

Although the capital has good security due to its importance, it is still very easy for a person to “disappear”. Especially for such mysterious tasks, a solitary “lone wolf” can easily be silenced by his employer after the task is completed.

Apart from risks, Qi Feiluan also has another thought…

What if…what if this mysterious employer is Ji Xingyuan?

Qi Feiluan actually didn’t believe that Ji Xingyuan could really resist checking where he was and what he was doing, nor did he believe that he could resist not looking for him.

If you think about it, he was registered on the internal website with his real identity and it was easy to find him.

By making a false identity, jumping through layers, and entering the mission website to send him a mission, it would be difficult for him to find out who the person who sent him the mission was.

Could it be Ji Xingyuan?

Qi Feiluan’s mood was quite complicated when he thought of this.

If it is Ji Xingyuan, it means that the relationship between them will fall into the same deformed and twisted relationship as in the past; if it is not Ji Xingyuan, Qi Feiluan seems to have to admit that he has indeed changed a little this time…

This conflicting thought disturbed him.

Before the cruise ship docked, he had been thinking about whether to accept the mission or not.

Forget it, this might be just a simple mission, and it might not have anything to do with Ji Xingyuan.

He was not one to escape. Since he had decided to do whatever task he encountered before, he would just let it take its course this time.

Qi Feiluan told the mercenary team about the employment mission sent by this mysterious man, saying that he needed to go to the capital to interview his employer, and that he could no longer act with them after getting off the cruise ship.

The captain, like Qi Feiluan, thought of the risk of going to see the mysterious employer alone, so he simply decided that since Qi Feiluan temporarily joined the team, he would be a member of the team, and they would all accompany Qi Feiluan to the capital.

Anyway, it’s not far away, and they had just returned from the planet, where it was cold and lacked supplies. They were looking for a place to relax, so the capital was naturally a good choice.

In this way, Qi Feiluan returned to the capital with the mercenary team.

On the designated date, Qi Feiluan took a ride to the private club.

The greeter at the door of the club led Qi Feiluan into the club and walked all the way inside after Qi Feiluan showed him proof of being invited.

Qi Feiluan stepped on the soft carpet under his feet. The more he walked inside, the complicated feelings in his heart became more and more intense.

Until he stood in front of a door, the waiter who led him in stepped back and stood beside the door, bowing slightly to indicate to him that this was where he was.

The door slowly opened, Qi Feiluan walked into the room, and the people sitting on the couch turned to look at him.

The moment Qi Feiluan saw the other person’s face, he couldn’t help but said: “Is it you?”

The person sitting on the sofa waiting for him was actually Grantham.

In addition to being surprised, Qi Feiluan also unexpectedly felt a little disappointed.

Grantham stretched out his hand to signal Qi Feiluan to sit down. Qi Feiluan didn’t say much and followed his movements and walked towards the sofa opposite.

In the few steps he took to sit on the sofa opposite Grantham, Qi Feiluan had already cleaned up the emotions leaked on his face. By the time he sat down, he had entered his usual calm and focused working state.

“Are you surprised?” Grantham’s dark green eyes fell on Qi Feiluan, with an obvious sense of inquiry, “I was also surprised. I didn’t expect you to actually suspend your duties and leave his side.”

Qi Feiluan didn’t want to talk to anyone about Ji Xingyuan, especially Grantham. He said directly: “What is the specific content of the mission?”

Grantham leaned back on the sofa and said, “Join my security team and be responsible for the security of my wedding.”

Wedding?The wedding with Mu Hean?

Qi Feiluan was on the planet before, and then returned to Earth and took a cruise across the ocean. He had no idea about the wedding.

But…

“Since you have your own security team, why would you let me join as an outsider temporarily? Aren’t you afraid that I will deliberately create security loopholes?”

In response, Grantham smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and suddenly said: “I won’t beat around the bush. I was the one who led the last assassination. I took the initiative to join forces with Ji Taizhen, and I also arranged the assassination personnel.”

“It’s a pity… I couldn’t kill Ji Xingyuan, I just made you lose half of your leg, but it stung him enough. For me, although this real engagement gift is not very important, it also makes me feel happy.”

Qi Feiluan’s eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at Grantham, but Grantham continued indifferently: “But since there is no one-hit kill, you must be prepared to bear his revenge. As far as I know, Ji Taizhen ‘disappeared’ not long after you were admitted to the hospital. I guess he is either buried somewhere now, or his bones have been crushed and ashes scattered.”

“Ji Taizhen didn’t even have one more day to live, so what about me, the instigator? How will Ji Xingyuan retaliate against me? But I waited and waited, and six months passed in the blink of an eye. I haven’t waited for him to take action, but my wedding is coming soon.”

“He and I are the same kind of people. I dare not say that I understand him, but we definitely have the same idea when it comes to attacking the enemy and retaliating against the enemy. Since we have been hurt, we must repay it a thousand times.”

“When I couldn’t wait for Ji Xingyuan to take revenge, I began to suspect that he was waiting for something. Is there any more suitable time for revenge than my wedding?”

Indeed.

Qi Feiluan knew very well what Grantham said. If Mu Hean did not cooperate with Ji Xingyuan, Ji Xingyuan would definitely choose the wedding moment to take revenge.

Since he was assassinated on the way back from Grantham’s engagement party, wouldn’t it be the best revenge to ruin Grantham’s wedding and let him die suddenly in the happiest and happiest moment, among the blessings of the guests?

Qi Feiluan could imagine Ji Xingyuan wearing a formal suit and applauding slowly under the surprised eyes of everyone after Grantham fell.

“So…you asked me to be involved in the security of your wedding just to let me ruin his possible revenge on you?”

Let Qi Feiluan, who lost half of his leg to protect Ji Xingyuan during Grantham’s assassination, personally destroy any possible revenge…

Qi Feiluan sometimes really feels that cruelty is the innate talent of these Alpha people in power, and they know how to treat a person cruelly.

Grantham nodded and Shi Shiran said: “Yes, and I will conceal the news that you were hired by me to be responsible for security before the wedding. In this way, if something happens, or you don’t do your best to sabotage his revenge plan, you will be buried as a sacrifice at my wedding. What do you think?”
