“Professional staff will be here soon. How about you first go and find the manager of this shopping mall?” Derek smiled. Feeling like he had been relieved of a burden, he followed Fu Ke and left. Ning An and He Xin also followed behind them.

“Ning An, actually, we shouldn’t be affected right?” He Xin was clearly moved by that girl’s teary eyes and pulled Ning An. “How about we go and help them?”

The missing youth was about to go into estrus, or perhaps it had already started. If he ran into any Alphas who had lost their rationality —– then the consequence would be disastrous. Even if there were laws in place to issue punishment, the harm caused would be irreversible.

Ning An took a deep breath and calmed his disorderly thoughts. Answering He Xin, he said, “I suppose we can. Then, you guys should leave first.”

“Don’t.” Fu Ke suddenly reached out and grabbed Ning An. You are also an Omega. Don’t mix with them. He almost voiced what was on his mind, but seeing Ning An’s puzzled expression, he didn’t say anything.

“Don’t worry. I received excellent grades in my combat class. I’ll be fine.” He thought that Fu Ke was worried about his own safety. He patted Fu Ke’s hand that was holding onto him, indicating for him to let go.

This wasn’t the problem. Fu Ke didn’t know how to explain it properly. He could only stupidly watch as Ning And and He Xin ran back. Seeing their retreating figures, Fu Ke frowned.

“Hey, wait.” Ning An and He Xin ran back to the place where they saw that round eyed girl. Several shopping mall staff were consoling them while trying to lead them out of the place. Seeing Ning An and He Xin, they vigilantly stepped forward to protect the group behind them.

“We are both Betas. May I ask when you realised that your friend was missing?” Ning An and He Xin opened their terminals and showed their IDs. The staff members carefully looked over them before lowering their guard.

The round eyed girl had an impression of these two people who had been walking alongside Derek and Fu Ke. After being declined by Fu Ke, she carefully thought about it and felt that Betas really were the most suitable for this kind of situation.

“We were eating over there. Qiu Yan said that he wanted to buy milk tea and left by himself. When the dishes had already been served, he still hadn’t come back. So we went out to find him but we couldn’t see he anywhere. The milk tea shop staff said that they saw him, but at the time there were a lot of people and they didn’t pay attention to where he went. What should we do ah? I only just remembered that his estrus was going to happen within these few days. I shouldn’t have called him to come out……” Feeling worried and anxious, her eyes teared up again.

“Don’t worry too much. You guys should first leave with the staff members. We will find him as soon as possible.” Ning An patted the girl to stop her from crying and then turned to the staff members. “Before the control centre staff arrive, can we first search for the missing person?”

“Of course. Thank you for your assistance.” They naturally welcomed people who were willing to lend a hand. Even if the shopping mall received information about the situation and broadcasted for the customers to leave, they couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be some scheming Alphas here. If something bad happened in the shopping mall, it would also be hard for them to shoulder the responsibility. “We really don’t have enough manpower. We’re really grateful to have you two.”

“Alright. He Xin, let’s go.”

The shopping mall’s broadcast had already repeated several times. Qiu Yan should have also heard it. But seeing as there was still no trace of him, then there were only two situations he could be in —– he was in a place where the broadcast couldn’t be heard, or he couldn’t move anymore.

If it were the latter, then he should be hiding somewhere. After Ning An and He Xin discussed for a moment, they decided to focus on searching the changing rooms, cleaning robot components room and other similar places.

In the end, Ning An found Qiu Yan curled up in a cleaning room. As soon as he opened the door, the youth was extremely startled and shrank back in fear. He Xin was also assaulted by the sweet smell of the pheromones.

“He Xin, go call the staff members. Tell them that we found him.” Ning An stepped forward and supported Qiu Yan. “Don’t be scared, you’ll be okay. Can you still stand up?”

Being pulled up by Ning An, Qiu Yan looked gratefully at him with his face flushed. His lips quivering, he was just about to say something, but his expression suddenly turned into alarm when he looked behind Ning An. Ning An naturally sensed that he was trembling. Turning around and looking at what was behind him, his expression also became grave.

It was an Alpha, and clearly, this Alpha had already become excited by the smell of the pheromones.

“Don’t be scared. It’ll be alright. Just sit here for a while. Everything will be over soon.” Ning An comforted Qiu Yan and let him lean against the wall on the ground. Then, blocking in front of him, he said to the Alpha, “I won’t let you through.”

“Ha, don’t overestimate your capabilities.” The Alpha completely disregarded Ning An. His mind was full of the Omega behind him. As for this obstacle, he just had to eliminate it.
