You're the fucking homewrecker, and so is your whole family!

"Blue Team's Xie Yunfan has been eliminated!"

Lu Ye's eyes were bloodshot as he swung his fist at him again.

The man instantly went deathly pale and screamed, scrambling backward on his hands and feet.

A chill rose from the bottom of his heart. He could feel that the man before him truly wanted him dead!

"Lu Ye!"

A clear voice rang out from nearby just in time.

"Getting worked up over scum is beneath you. Let's go. We're short on time."

Lu Ye closed his eyes briefly and took a deep breath, then flung his fist aside, turned, and followed.

Xie Lin frowned and grumbled on.

"And he even shares my surname. What a disgrace!"

[Confirmed, Lu Ye really is sick. Aren't top Alphas supposedly all a little mentally unstable?]

[Eliminating his own teammate? What kind of person does that?]

[??? You're the sick one, aren't you? That guy deserved to die. He was obviously discriminating against Omegas, okay?]

[If someone accused your wife of selling his ass, you'd just stand there and watch? Hope you never find a wife!]

[Just as I thought, Tao Miaomiao is Lu Gougou's leash. So sweet~]

Seeing that Xie Lin was leaving, Fu Yunxi hurried forward.

"I'll buy some. How do I write the IOU?"

"If you'd just been this straightforward earlier, we wouldn't have had a problem!"

Qiao An volunteered and stepped forward to demonstrate.

Fu Yunxi cut his finger to write the IOU, muttering all the while.

"Taotao, are you short on money? It's my fault for not noticing sooner. How about I buy some more?"

"How much?"

"Six packs of crackers and four bottles of water."

"Deal! Four hundred thousand!"

Xie Lin turned to look at Yu Zhiwei. She immediately understood, filled a backpack with the supplies, then walked over and handed it to Fu Yunxi.

"Spend four hundred thousand and get a free backpack. You're welcome!"

Song Yunshen hurriedly covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud.

His godfather's kindness to him truly was as weighty as a mountain!

Qiao An's eyes also went perfectly round as he exclaimed over what a bargain he'd gotten!

After walking all morning, the group stopped by a stream to rest.

Another five Blue Team members had been eliminated, including a familiar name: Zhou Shuyuan.

Yet there had been no word from the Red Team all this time.

Now, they were getting closer and closer to the finish line, and the two sides' elimination counts differed by only one.

Xie Lin silently ate the bread in his hand, considering their next move.

Whatever happened to the others, he had to keep every member of his own group safe.

Wu Xinyou brushed the crumbs off her hands and spoke unhurriedly.

"Why don't we split into two groups? We probably can't count on those remaining losers. It'd be good to eliminate a few opponents early."

Yue Lan raised her hand.

"I disagree. We have just the right number of people now. Any more would be a burden, and any fewer would make us easy to surround. Can't we just find a way to take out a few more Red Team members?"

Song Yunshen raised his hand too.

"I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just afraid that once we split up, one group might run into Xiao Lie..."

Wu Xinyou rubbed her chin and nodded slightly.

Xie Lin kept chewing, feeling that they had a good point.

He looked toward the woods nearby. Suddenly, two figures appeared in his field of vision.

His eyes immediately lit up.

"Hehehehe... Well, doesn't that give us a plan?"

Amused, Lu Ye pinched his ear.

Judging by that little expression, someone was probably about to suffer again.

Three hours later, by the lake.

Fu Yunxi was trussed up and hanging from a tree, his voice almost cracking from shouting.

"Help! Help!!!"

Xie Lin whipped him twice with a branch, looking utterly impatient.

"Louder! I can't hear you!"

Fu Yunxi pursed his lips, his face full of humiliation and anger.

"There's nobody here. I've been shouting forever."

"Tch!"

Xie Lin lashed him several more times in quick succession.

"Cut the fucking crap. Do you want bread and drinks or not? If you do, shout your heart out!"

Boohoo~

If it weren't for something to eat, I'd never put up with this humiliation!

Four hundred thousand worth of supplies, gone in a few mouthfuls. Xie Lin was even more ruthless than a capitalist!

He Jianing hid behind a tree, trembling, inwardly gloating while his face was filled with concern.

Happy one moment and worried the next, his features started twitching all over the place, making his expression look especially distorted.

"How can you treat Yunxi like this? Isn't this a little inappropriate..."

Lu Ye glanced at him, his voice chilly.

"Want to take his place?"

"Uh..."

He Jianing shut his mouth.

A moment later, he opened it again.

"But Yunxi really is so pitiful... Ah!!! What are you doing???"

[I've figured it out. He Jianing really is one hell of a manipulative little faker. Either watch and keep quiet, or don't, but he just has to keep running his mouth.]

[You only just noticed? He was like this on the last dating show too, looking all pitiful and put-upon while being rotten inside!]

[There's always someone who falls for that act, like a certain Film Emperor Fu. Hahahaha.]

[What do you know? Ningbao is just kindhearted and can't bear to see his teammate suffer.]

[Oh, wow, you can defend even this? Are He Jianing's fans blind in both their eyes and their hearts?]

Xie Lin looked at Lu Ye in bewilderment.

"Why did you bring him over too?"

"Too noisy. Since he can't shut his mouth, he can keep Fu Yunxi company!"

A few minutes later, there were two people hanging from the tree.

"Someone's coming!"

Yue Lan whistled from a nearby tree. Lu Ye scooped Xie Lin into his arms and bounded up a tree in a few leaps.

Fu Yunxi immediately started shouting with renewed effort.

"Can somebody come save me!"

"..."

He Jianing swayed back and forth, staring at him speechlessly.

Before long, three Red Team members walked over.

They didn't approach right away, however, staying far back and scanning their surroundings warily.

"Hey, you two, why are you hanging from a tree?"

He Jianing bit his lip and sniffled a few times.

"We offended Xie Lin, so Lu Ye tied us up here."

[Hahahaha, nothing wrong with that explanation.]

[Seriously, who came up with this idea? It's so fucking clever!]

[Our Tao Miaomiao, of course~ La la la~]

[Oh, give me a break. Using teammates as bait, and you're proud of it?]

[What's the problem? As long as it works, what's wrong with hanging there for a bit? Look at Song Yunshen. He's calling him godfather loud and clear.]

[You don't want to help, but you want free food and drinks? Do you think you get to have everything your way? Look at Song Yunshen. He's nowhere near this entitled.]

The three grew visibly more tense.

"Where are they?"

"They left ages ago."

"Who are you kidding? They'd abandon their teammates?"

Fu Yunxi sighed.

"Do you remember someone surnamed Xie from the Blue Team being eliminated this morning?"

He paused, his face filled with terror, as though he had recalled something horrifying.

"Lu Ye did it. That Alpha is too vicious. Seriously, he doesn't even spare his own people. He's terrifying."

Lu Ye: "..."

You've really mastered the art of settling personal scores under cover of business.

Still, whatever else could be said, the film emperor's acting was certainly up to standard.

If he hadn't known the truth, even he might have been fooled.

The three were still dubious. For the sake of free food and drinks, Fu Yunxi upped the stakes.

"To tell you the truth, guys, I actually like Lu Ye's wife, Xie Lin..."

"..."

They exchanged looks, then couldn't hold back their laughter. One even laughed so hard he pounded the ground.

"You? You think you're good enough? You've actually got the nerve to covet Xie Lin?"

Fu Yunxi gritted his teeth in anger, but had no choice but to keep talking.

"You don't know this, but Xie Lin was actually my fiancé once. But then, because of some misunderstandings, he got together with Lu Ye..."

As though he had finally found an emotional outlet, Fu Yunxi started babbling nonstop.

An embellished version, of course.

The three men's expressions gradually shifted from amusement to bewilderment, and finally to indignation.

"You call yourself an Alpha? Your wife was kidnapped, and you didn't even go save him? Serves you right that you don't have a wife. Pah!"

"And you were juggling a little sister and your first love, one in each arm? Pah! You're a disgrace to us Alphas!"

"..."

"Why are you sympathizing with the homewrecker?"

Fu Yunxi looked stunned.

Why wasn't this going the way he'd imagined?

Weren't these people supposed to sympathize with him for having his wife stolen?

Lu Ye sucked his teeth, sorely tempted to go down and kill him.

You're the fucking homewrecker, and so is your whole family!

If Xie Lin hadn't held him back, there was no telling how many times Fu Yunxi would have been beaten within an inch of his life.

Seeing the three wave their clubs and move to beat Fu Yunxi up, Lu Ye sprang down from the tree and took care of all three in no time.

The three stared at the red smoke rising from their bodies and shouted in despair.

"Fuck, this was a sting operation?"

"I knew you were a piece of shit! I was right!"
