Honest Beta gets scammed

On the high seas, a luxurious cruise ship is sailing smoothly.

He Xiangchen slumped into the sofa on the deck, his posture languid, his shirt collar slightly open, the sea breeze blowing, revealing his delicate collarbone and a small patch of chest.

Sitting opposite him was a man who appeared to be an Alpha. He had blond hair and blue eyes, a handsome and deep-set face, a high nose, and an old-fashioned gentlemanly elegance. He was clearly not a Federation face, but his Federation language was very standard and fluent.

"The goods this time are very good, Mr. He. It's always a pleasure to work with you."

"I'm glad Mr. Caspar is satisfied."

He Xiangchen picked up his wine glass, his smile nonchalant.

Kasper smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The deal went smoothly, both sides got what they wanted, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

Casper picked up his glass, his eyes sweeping over He Xiangchen, then suddenly changed the subject, smiling as he said, "However, Mr. He, your pheromones are a bit overpowering. There have been rumors lately that your mental state isn't quite right, and it seems to be true."

The air seemed to freeze slightly after the topic was brought up.

He Xiangchen's men behind him changed their expressions and reached for the gun handles at their waists. Caster's men also went into a state of alert, their muscles tense.

Between Alphas, especially between two Alphas of a high level, it is already offensive to talk about the other's pheromones, let alone to directly address the more private mental space.

Especially in this environment where you are surrounded by the sea and have nowhere to escape, pointing out that the other person is "not in good condition" is almost equivalent to a threat.

However, He Xiangchen's smile remained unchanged. He put down his wine glass, glanced at Casper, and looked him over.

"I didn't expect Mr. Casper to be so interested in my mental state? If I liked Alphas, I would be happy to share my state with you, but unfortunately you're really not my type, so let's just forget about it."

His smile was ambiguous, and his demeanor toward Casper was frivolous and arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Casper's smile faded slightly.

"Mr. He is joking."

The dangerous topic was thus dropped, and the atmosphere eased again.

The waves lapped against the hull, and the cruise ship quickly docked.

He Xiangchen stood up, straightened his collar, and led his men to bid farewell to Casper.

"Well then, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

He Xiangchen turned and disembarked. The moment he stepped onto the dock, the smile on his face vanished completely. He muttered under his breath, "Damn those E-country folks."

His men behind him fell silent, not daring to even breathe.

The group got into the black sedan that had come to pick them up and drove towards the He family villa.

He Xiangchen leaned back in his seat, looking out the window at the receding scenery. His brows were furrowed. He was in a terrible mood and talking to a terrible person, which made him extremely irritable.

He tapped his thigh lightly with his fingertips, remained silent for a moment, then remembered something and took his phone out of his pocket.

When he opened it, there was a red dot notification on his WeChat Moments. He clicked on it casually and found that the person who posted the update was actually that country bumpkin.

A country bumpkin like that posts on social media?

He Xiangchen clicked in with a bit of curiosity, and the next second, his brows furrowed.

That was a photo taken at a hot pot restaurant.

In the photo, Li Qing is facing the camera, making a silly peace sign with a simple and honest smile. Sitting opposite him is a woman, it's hard to tell if she's an Alpha or a Beta, who is leaning affectionately towards the camera with a smile. The table between them is full of dishes.

The photo was clearly meticulously edited; the skin smoothing and filters were adjusted just right. This kind of photo editing skill could not possibly be mastered by a country bumpkin like Li Qing.

He Xiangchen stared at the photo for a few seconds, then quickly typed a few words in the reply box.

Do you have a partner?

He finished typing and was about to send it when his finger hovered over the send button for a few seconds. Then, expressionless, he deleted all the words.

He squinted at the group photo for a while longer, and finally let out a cold laugh through his nose.

How can someone like him find a partner?

Assistant Xu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard the noise.

"Mr. He, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

He Xiangchen didn't even look up, and as if annoyed, he threw his phone onto the seat next to him.

The car fell silent again.

After a while, He Xiangchen picked up his phone again, opened the contact list, and found Li Qing.

Li Qing's profile picture is a red tractor, which stands out among all the profile pictures and is very easy to find.

He clicked on it and immediately saw the message from Li Qing.

Hello Mr. He, how much compensation do you need for your suit?

Upon seeing the message, He Xiangchen chuckled and typed a reply on the screen.

Two million.

After sending the message, he casually opened Li Qing's profile, typed "country bumpkin" in the notes section, and then threw his phone aside.

That woman must be blind to fall for such a country bumpkin.

Assistant Xu glanced at He Xiangchen through the rearview mirror and found that his boss's expression was even more unpleasant than when he got into the car.

It seems that Mr. He really dislikes Mr. Casper.

After dropping Li Hao off at his apartment, Li Qing leisurely rode his electric scooter back to his own rented room.

Once downstairs, he found a public charging station and muttered to himself as he scanned the QR code.

"The capital city is indeed the capital city, they really know how to make money. It costs a dollar to charge an electric scooter."

After scanning the money, he saw an unread message notification. He clicked on it and found that it was Alpha who had replied to him.

Li Qing quickly opened the chat interface, and after just one glance, her eyes almost popped out!

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, then looked again closely to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The other party really did reply with two million!

His mind went blank, and his fingers unconsciously typed two words and sent them.

[It's a lie.]

He regretted sending the message as soon as it was sent and hurriedly deleted it.

But looking at that glaring "two million," I felt it was just too ridiculous! I deleted it and typed it again, typed it and deleted it again, and finally posted it again.

I want to call the police.

After sending the message, he realized that he was the one who had dirtied the other person's clothes first, so he felt guilty and deleted the message.

With her mind in turmoil, Li Qing put away her phone and climbed five flights of stairs in one go.

When he got home, he didn't even have time to drink water before rushing to the small balcony to check on the suit.

As a result, with just one glance, he immediately put on the mask of pain.
