Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 37

Chapter 37

“The problem is that he is unwilling to give a true reaction.” Jian Junshuang thought for a while, “First of all, we must find a way to establish communication.”

Jian Junshuang pondered for a while and said: “I don’t think this is impossible. If you think about his behavior tonight, he could obviously cooperate with you to complete the entire dating process, but in the middle he made you realize that he was cooperating with you. I think this can be regarded as a counterattack or revenge.”

Ji Xingyuan looked at Jian Junshuang, and Jian Junshuang continued: “If he really doesn’t care about you at all and won’t accept or refuse, then why should you realize that he came to date you just because of your order? I think he at least has a grudge against you, and this is the breakthrough you can use.”

“I remember reading x’s sentence in a book before: Those unexpressed emotions will never disappear. They are just reactivated and will one day burst out in an uglier way [note]. So, let’s not talk about love or union first. Let him express his feelings for you first, whether it is hate or resentment, even if it is a negative emotion, as long as he is willing to express it and give his true reaction.”

Jian Junshuang sighed. He felt that he was now like a love counselor and psychologist chasing a duck, but at least Ji Xingyuan was still willing to talk to him.

Jian Junshuang actually didn’t have much memory of Ji Xingyuan’s mother, his aunt Jian Lu. Jian Lu only left him with an elegant and beautiful impression and a vague shadow. The first and last time he heard about Jian Lu was the news of her death.

On that snowy day four years ago, he attended Jian Lu’s funeral and met Ji Xingyuan who seemed to blend into the snow.

Jian Junshuang didn’t want the tragedy of Ji Tailin and Jian Lu to happen again to Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan, let alone stand in the heavy snow to attend someone’s funeral again.

Ji Xingyuan was thoughtful after listening to it. After a long time, he slowly said: “I understand.”

…

On May 8th, no matter what happened last night, Ji Xingyuan went to work as usual, and then he received a message from Mu Hean.

At night, when Ji Xingyuan stepped into the private room on the 24th floor of the hotel, Mu Hean was sitting by the window looking down at the night view of the city outside.

Seeing Ji Xingyuan walk in and sit down opposite him, Mu Hean turned his head and smiled at him and said, “Welcome, Mr. Ji.”

This box was the box where Mu Hean first met Ji Xingyuan four years ago. What happened at that time was not a good memory for either of them, especially for Mu Hean.

At that time, he was injected with estrus-promoting drugs by his own father, and was tied to a chair to wait for the taste of the Alpha in front of him.

Now he can take the initiative to invite Ji Xingyuan and sit face to face with him as a collaborator.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

The scene of two people sitting facing each other by the window of a high-rise building inevitably reminded Ji Xingyuan of what happened at the Yunta Restaurant last night. Coupled with his experience of being forced to stay with Mu Hean four years ago, he was in an extremely bad mood and was too lazy to talk to Mu Hean.

Mu He’an felt the low pressure all over his body and stared at his face while talking, trying to find out what happened from his expression.

“I’m sorry about your assassination. I didn’t know about it until you left the engagement scene. Maybe I stimulated him too much.”

When Ji Xingyuan mentioned the assassination, he raised his eyes to meet Mu Hean’s probing gaze. It was like two sharp swords piercing Mu Hean’s eyes, making Mu Hean subconsciously withdraw his probing gaze.

Ji Xingyuan sneered, slammed the table with one hand, and said, “Then?”

Although he was upset because of Qi Feiluan, it didn’t mean that anyone could pry into his mood.

Mu Hean, who had hit a soft nail, calmed down and realized that even a temporarily haggard beast was still a beast. He only hurt himself for one person and would not show weakness to anyone other than that person.

“I know you are thinking about how to take revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Kill him and make him pay with his life. This is in line with Alpha’s rules of competition.”

Mu Hean said, showing a sweet smile, but his words were full of cruelty: “And I can help you.”

“Just like Grantham cooperates with Ji Taizhen, I can also further cooperate with you. Ji Taizhen is just not familiar with your uncle, and I am his pillow. Without you personally arranging anyone to do it, I can make Grantham disappear from this world forever, just like Ji Taizhen’s ‘disappearance’.”

Ji Xingyuan leaned back in his chair and re-examined Mu Hean sitting opposite him.

Mu Hean, who has been married to Grantham after their engagement, still carries the scent of pheromones that cannot be concealed.

Ji Xingyuan had smelled Mu Hean’s pheromones a long time ago. His pheromones were so sweet that it was like walking into a cake shop where desserts are baked. Smelling his pheromones gave the feeling of pouring syrup directly into the nasal cavity.

Now, in addition to the sweet tone, Mu Hean’s pheromones also have a bitter taste, like the bitterness caused by being extremely sweet.

This sweet and bitter taste is very similar to Mu Hean.

Ji Xingyuan really wanted to kill Grantham, but he didn’t expect that Mu Hean would actually take the initiative to bring it up, and even said that he could do it himself.

An Omega who had just bonded with Alpha proposed to kill his Alpha.

Ji Xingyuan, who had witnessed his parents going crazy, actually didn’t believe it. The influence of pheromones on Alpha and Omega was far greater than they imagined.

Emotions are slaves to hormones. Even his parents, two people who once looked down upon each other, will be attracted to and torture each other under the pull of pheromones.

But for Ji Xingyuan, whether Mu Hean can overcome the influence of pheromones has nothing to do with him. He only cares about whether Mu Hean can really kill Grantham.

“What do you want?” Ji Xingyuan went straight to the point.

Perhaps seeing the scrutiny and suspicion in Ji Xingyuan’s eyes, Mu Hean said: “I want Grantham Group.”

“If Grantham dies, as his Omega, I am the first heir to his estate. I can inherit his shares, but I certainly cannot compete with other Alphas for actual control of Grantham Group. Mr. Ji, I need your support and help.”

“Grantham is dead, and the Grantham Group will inevitably be in turmoil for a period of time. This period of time is enough for Mr. Ji to take a big bite out of it. If I take over the Grantham Group, I can cede enough interests to satisfy you. By then, the Grantham Group will no longer be able to compete with the Ji Family Group.”

“Mr. Ji, this is a win-win situation for you and me, and Grantham himself is the biggest obstacle standing in front of this ending that satisfies both of us.”

After hearing the end, even Ji Xingyuan couldn’t help but marvel at Mu Hean’s ambition.

Recalling Mu Hean’s experience, he was betrayed by his father four years ago to please Ji Tailin. Mu Hean cooperated with him to indirectly kill Ji Tailin.Then he turned around and caught up with Grantham, becoming Grantham’s Omega.

In the eyes of the outside world, becoming Grantham’s Omega is the highest status that Mu Hean can achieve, but now he is planning to kill Grantham and replace him.

Mu Hean is very aware of his Omega status, and he is also very good at using his Omega status.His pheromones are bait, his body is a trap, and what he wants has always been profit and power. To this end, he can make excuses, pretend to be deceitful, and even cooperate with vicious beasts like Ji Xingyuan.

For Ji Xingyuan, this was also an offer that was difficult to refuse.

He could not only fight against enemy groups, but also avenge the assassination. I wonder if Grantham would be as heartbroken as when he cut off Qi Feiluan’s left leg with his own hands when he was killed by his own Omega.

Ji Xingyuan spit out two words: “Deal.”

Mu He’an relaxed immediately. Although he knew that Ji Xingyuan’s rejection was unlikely, he couldn’t help but tense up under Ji Xingyuan’s pressure.

Mu He’an picked up the champagne on the table and took a sip. Seeing Ji Xingyuan getting up to leave, he hurriedly said: “Wait a minute, don’t worry, since we want to cooperate to kill Grantham, Mr. Ji will sacrifice himself and help me create a scene.”

Ji Xingyuan, who had already stood up, made a movement, sat back down again, and said, “Drama? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll really stimulate him too much?”

Ji Xingyuan knew very well what it would be like for an Alpha like him to be overstimulated.

Mu He’an smiled mysteriously and said ambiguously: “A certain amount of stimulation can make people reveal their true feelings, allowing me to understand the extent of his emotions. It also allows me to better grasp his thoughts, and then further control him.”

“For example, pheromones are the best stimulus. Alphas in the heat of bonding are always more vulnerable, more sincere and more willing to give their feelings.”

“Hmm… Actually, I’m also curious, what inspired you to become… like this?”

Although Ji Xingyuan concealed it well, Mu Hean relied on his ability to grasp people’s hearts to catch Grantham. He was a professional.

Under Ji Xingyuan’s cold appearance, he was hiding all anxiety, gloom and negative emotions. It seemed that with just a little more force, he could be completely defeated.

To be able to push an Alpha like Ji Xingyuan to this point, Mu and An couldn’t help but wonder, is that robot-like Qi Feiluan actually so capable?

Ji Xingyuan didn’t want to talk about Qi Feiluan with Mu He’an at all. After the two sat opposite each other for a while, the door of the box suddenly opened.

Grantham’s dark green eyes swept across Ji Xingyuan and Mu He’an, and said, “I hope I didn’t disturb your enjoyment.”

Mu Hean fell into the drama for a second, turned to look at him in surprise, and said, “How did you know I was here?”

Afterwards, Mu Hean reacted and said in disbelief: “Are you spying on me?”

The play had already begun, and Ji Xingyuan, who was only responsible for supporting the scene, had no interest in continuing to watch and walked away.
