After Losing My Memory, I Went After My Archenemy - Chapter 30
He hadn’t gone far.
Although an inhibitory patch had been applied, the scent of the estrous Alpha’s pheromones was still strong, which to Lin Xi, a fellow Alpha, simply smelled… foul.
It was so foul that her senses revolted.
Frowning, she followed the scent downstairs. This clearly looked like a premeditated assault, and if the mastermind wasn’t rooted out, similar incidents were very likely to happen again.
Recalling Xia Rou’s confession and her pressing questions, Lin Xi naturally had no time or inclination to deal with it, so she had hastily left her and gone first.
The school had regulations: Alphas or Omegas in estrus were not allowed to stay on campus, and discovery would lead to serious penalties.
And at the moment, the school sports meet was taking place, with almost all teachers and students outdoors, so the Alpha who attacked Xia Rou dared not, and could not, leave the building.
Following the scent, Lin Xi finally tracked him down.
She kicked open the closed door and saw the male Alpha squatting in the corner, shaking, hot, and sweating all over.
The other party also saw her and warned fiercely, baring his teeth, “What do you want?”
“Who is the mastermind who instructed you to do this?” Lin Xi didn’t waste words and went straight to the point.
The male Alpha sneered and turned his face away with some arrogance, “If you want to know, go investigate yourself.”
Lin Xi perhaps lost patience, strode forward, squatted in front of the person, grabbed his collar with one hand, and with the other, pulled out a syringe from her pocket and pressed it against a blood vessel in his neck.
“Either I throw you out of this building and let everyone see. Or I inject this into you, turning you into a useless person from now on. Or you tell me the truth.”
The boy’s body stiffened, and he stammered and trembled, asking, “What are you going to inject me with? What is it!”
Because the vial was labeled with complicated foreign text, it was easy to deceive the other party. In reality, it was an imported inhibitor that Lin Xi carried with her. Since her close interactions with Xia Rou lately, she had vaguely felt her internal hormones were unstable and was worried about entering the susceptible period prematurely at any time.
“It contains a drug that can incapacitate an Alpha… Want to try?”
Her tone was cold, and the force in her hand increased as she spoke.
The boy was so scared that he confessed everything immediately.
Putting away the recorder in her hand, Lin Xi stood up coldly, ready to leave.
“You, you won’t tell the school, right?” the boy asked, trembling.
Lin Xi walked all the way to the doorway before turning her back and replying, “Not making you useless is already an act of mercy.”
Her tone was flat, and a dangerous dark glint flashed in her eyes.
The boy leaned back in despair, his back hitting the wall heavily.
On the spectator stands of the sports field, Bai Chuchu was sitting at the best viewing angle, feeling content thinking about certain things, when Hu Yudie suddenly ran over nervously and called her, looking displeased, “It’s bad.”
She turned back to look, and not far away on the flat ground, Lin Xi stood quietly waiting, her expression indifferent.
“Are you sure the matter has been exposed?” Bai Chuchu swallowed and asked in a low, frightened voice.
Hu Yudie nodded, “The one over there has confessed everything.”
“This useless idiot.” Bai Chuchu couldn’t help but curse under her breath, then reluctantly stood up.
“Say it, what do you want?” Facing Lin Xi’s solid evidence, Bai Chuchu still maintained a haughty attitude with her arms crossed.
“You know that if these things are sent to the police station, you can be detained.”
Lin Xi spoke coldly, that extremely beautiful face terrifyingly calm at the moment.
Hearing this, Bai Chuchu was truly a bit panicked, stuttering, “W-What exactly do you want? I can give you money, just name your price.”
“Go apologize.” Lin Xi lifted her gaze, “Go apologize to Xia Rou, and obtain her forgiveness, until she is willing to let you off.”
Hearing this demand, Bai Chuchu was extremely unwilling. Asking her to apologize humbly to Xia Rou was more painful than asking her to die, but she also didn’t want to be detained, which would ruin her future prospects.
“Why are you doing all this for Xia Rou?”
The Alpha remained silent.
Bai Chuchu then hastily added, “I can give you a lot, a lot of money, enough to change your destiny.”
Lin Xi had lost patience. She paused when she heard this as she turned to leave, and a cold sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth while her back was turned: “I don’t need it.”
“Your deadline is before school ends tonight.” Dropping this sentence, the Alpha strode away.
Watching the retreating figure, Bai Chuchu’s heart sank, and she almost couldn’t stand steadily. It was Hu Yudie beside her who timely supported her, preventing her from falling.
“Do we really have to apologize to Xia Rou?” Hu Yudie asked weakly.
“What else?!” Bai Chuchu glared fiercely at her, pushing her hand away angrily, “It’s all your fault, look at the kind of person you found, their mouth is so loose.”
“I, I also didn’t expect Lin Xi to suddenly show up and save her. Without her intervention, Xia Rou would have been finished!” Hu Yudie was still trying to defend herself.
“Get out, get out, I never want to see you again.” Bai Chuchu clenched her hands, trembling with anger.
After separating from Chi Xiao, Xia Rou rushed to the counselor’s office to explain the reason for missing her competition.
Fortunately, someone was found to substitute last minute, and the counselor only punished her with writing a self-reflection essay.
She had not walked two steps out of the faculty office building when Bai Chuchu suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
“I’m sorry.” Bai Chuchu said awkwardly and unwillingly.
Xia Rou: “?”
She was still a bit puzzled, so she chuckled, “Did you take the wrong medicine today?”
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, Bai Chuchu bowed to her and said, “The incident that happened to you today was orchestrated by me. I am sorry to you, and I hope you can forgive me.”
Xia Rou: “!!”
“Bai Chuchu, have I truly made you hate me to this extent?”
“Yes! I hate your ambiguous attitude towards Luo Yi. Everyone can see that she likes you. Don’t you know it in your heart? But you keep stringing her along and refuse to explicitly reject her.” After venting, Bai Chuchu suddenly realized she was here to apologize, and her voice involuntarily lowered: “That’s why I wanted to punish you…”
Xia Rou was outright amused by the anger, “I have never strung along Li Luoyi. She has never expressed any feelings to me, how can I reject her? Compared to when we were kids, I’ve already tried my best to avoid contact with her.”
Xia Rou paused and added, “As for you, to actually come up with such a despicable trick, it is truly despicable to the extreme!”
“I’ve already come to apologize to you, what more do you want…” Bai Chuchu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Xia Rou was still a bit confused about one thing: could Bai Chuchu honestly admit her mistake and apologize like this?
Then her phone received a text message from someone.
Lin Xi: The performance at the last school anniversary night was also ruined by her. Let’s settle the new and old debts together. Whether to forgive is up to you. If you truly feel she is unforgivable, just send her to the police station.
“It turns out the last school anniversary incident was also related to you??” Xia Rou looked at Bai Chuchu in disbelief.
“Can’t I apologize for that too? I was wrong, I’m sorry Xia Rou. Please forgive me, for the sake of our past relationship, okay?”
“Do we have a relationship?” Xia Rou decided to clear things up with her, “In the third grade of primary school, you secretly put a female classmate’s eraser into my schoolbag and framed me for stealing. In the fifth grade, you stained my swimsuit, causing me to miss class and stand outside the gym alone as a punishment. In the first year of junior high… If it were the small-scale childish schemes from childhood, I wouldn’t bother to hold a grudge, but these two recent incidents, you were trying to kill me!”
Bai Chuchu burst into tears upon hearing this, crying profusely with tears streaming down her face, and even knelt down in front of her with a thump.
“I know I was wrong, I know I was completely wrong. Xia Rou, please forgive me, I beg you to forgive me.”
The students passing by didn’t know what happened, but they dared not linger and watch, only frequently looking back, trying to catch more gossip.
Xia Rou shook her head in disappointment, “You should know that some things in this world can be forgiven, and some things… are not worth forgiving.”
“Xia Rou, are you really going to push me to a dead end? I’ve already begged you like this!” Bai Chuchu was driven to exasperation.
Xia Rou did not speak, but picked up her phone to reply to the text message.
[Xia Rou]: I want to send her to the police station.
