After their lunch, Jiang Cheng immediately went back to his room for his mate had told him to rest right away whilst Wei Ying followed when the pregnant omega demanded him to hang out with him. While their parents and Lan Yi went to discuss the wedding and probably going to look for the venues and such.And Yanli? Maybe somewhere in the City with an alpha whose surname is Jin. 

That leaves the two brothers sitting in the living room. Contemplating what they should do.

 Xichen had shown his brother the message and Lan Zhan had enough of the chaos the sender had given him. He doesn't want to aggravate his uncle's anger even further, for now, all he wants is peace and to let the drama leave them alone. He just wants a relationship with nothing of these fucked up things ruining them!

"Let's go meet whoever that was, brother," Lan Zhan suddenly declared causing Xichen to raise an eyebrow at him as if eyeing him an 'are you serious' face. 

Lan Zhan sighs exasperatedly. That's the only solution, isn't it? Meet whoever that was and settle with him. He's too tired to think of a way to settle it safely. After the ruckus that his uncle made yesterday at their dinner, his head was not ready to focus enough to think clearly. 

"You don't know what's the other side of this Wangji. You remember what he did to Wuxian last time, right?" he asked, brows knitting in worry for his brother's decision.

Lan Zhan nods, head lowered as he remembers Guangyao's scheme. His teeth gritted in anger, his omega had suffered so much that time, if he didn't arrive as soon as possible, his omega might've suffered even more danger that time. 

"He uses anyone's weakness to destroy what he wants to destroy, Wangji," he reminded. 

Lan Zhan sighed once again, "But what could we do? We don't have a way to resolve this, is there?" he asked, hopelessness heard in his voice. 

Xichen sighed perplexed, "I don't know," he answers, lowering his head as he ponders. His brother is right, even he doesn't know how to resolve this without resorting to showing his face to that omega. He sighs once again, his decision being decided. Maybe they really need to resolve it this way, he'll just do precautionary measures and they'll get out just fine. 

"Fine. I don't know what could happen, but I think he uses omega pheromones to seduce. You need to get something to counter that effect. Better drink the rut pills, and wear scent patches if necessary," he reminded him which the younger nodded attentively. 

"You go prepare yourself then we'll go around four-thirty. I'll go talk to my omega about it," he says and stood from the sofa with a huff. Then he taps the younger's shoulder, "Better tell your omega also. You're bound to marry him someday, better know how to communicate things better so you'll avoid misunderstanding in the future. Yeah?" he smiles. Without waiting for Wangji's answer, he marched out of the living room. 

Lan Zhan smiled, keeping his brother's words in mind. 

.

It was already around four-thirty in the afternoon. Lan Zhan was able to explain to his omega their plan on going. Though Wei Ying find it dangerous and insisted to come, fortunately, his boyfriend was able to talk it out with him, leaving Wei Ying pouting but convinced of his alpha's persuasion. 

On the other hand, Xichen instructed Jiang Cheng to call the police once he sends the address to him. That way, there'll be less damage to them. 

On so they marched out the Jiang's, their omegas are seeing them off. Wei Ying is still in a pout and Jiang Cheng is unbothered, he trusts his alpha that they'll be able to overcome that of course. Plus, he made sure to mark his alpha mask and mask of his pheromones and a deep bite on his neck that the alpha said he bit when he was half asleep. Well, it's a beautiful accident then, he thinks.

.

"Here we are," Xichen spoke, after parking in an alley behind the street full of clubs and establishments for entertainment and maybe some illegal deeds rolling under the tables. In the front, it was full of colors, it was lively as people hustled and bustled at doors to relieve their stress. While the back of the establishments was mostly dark with only lights of the flickering street lights are lighting the alleyways. 

Lan Zhan checks the message from Xichen's phone and nodded in agreement. They were parked at the back of one suspicious establishment, loud music can be heard from the inside, seeping out at the back. The back door of the building has one light on top of the door, a dim one but enough to indicate that that was the back door of the building. 

They gulped as they cautiously made their way to the door, the door creating a creaking sound and that adds to how eery the place is. 

"What are you doing here?" A voice suddenly spoke, their eyes immediately followed where it came from, and saw a man in red- a beta perhaps since he didn't even react to the scents of omega's on them, arms crossed on his chest as he squints his eyes at the two, feeling suspicious of them. He is probably a staff in the building, Xichen thinks. 

"We were texted to go here," Xichen answers, showing the message from his phone. 

The suspicious look on the man disappeared as if he understands what it meant. And so he steps aside, making room for the two to walk inside. After which, he closed the door. 

"Follow me," the man instructed and started walking ahead of them. 

They were walking in a hallway, dimly lighted with some few flickering lights. The floor was a little damp that looks like leaks from the ceiling, and the path they were walking, though cannot be seen, they knew they were walking on trashes and maybe condoms or drugs paraphernalia just being scattered everywhere. 

Until the man stopped at the end of the hallway where two rooms are across each other. Then the man faced the two, eyebrows pinching, "Who's Xichen?" he asked.

Xichen internally sighs as he calmly raises his hand, "I am," he answers, unwavering to the intimidating look of the beta.

He nods with a gruff hum and opened a door, "Enter," he commanded. When Xichen took a step, the beta pushed him inside and closed the door on his face, then locks the door from the outside. 

Lan Zhan gritted his teeth at what he did, but he was immediately pushed inside the other room, door shutting immediately before he can even regain himself to escape.
