After Transmigrating into a Ridiculous Alpha, I Saved My Aloof Omega Wife - Chapter 10
They had just arrived when they saw several alphas in Ninth High uniforms blocking the way, with Gu Xi stumbling toward them in panic.
Jiang Muyan instinctively stepped in front of Cheng Jianli and asked, “What’s going on?”
The three alphas had hostile expressions clearly troublemakers from Ninth High. One of them, his eyes filled with irritation, wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb. “Follow us.”
“They’re from Ninth High, they collect ‘protection fees,'” Gu Xi said, unwilling to linger. The area was remote, a narrow alley with no surveillance cameras, and passersby had long gone home. Staying any longer would only put them at a disadvantage.
She grabbed Cheng Jianli’s hand to run. Even if Cheng Jianli didn’t fully understand the situation, she knew they needed to leave immediately. She tugged at Jiang Muyan’s sleeve. “Let’s go.”
But it was too late. The moment they turned, the three alphas closed in. One of them, a short and sleazy-looking male alpha, leered at the three girls with a smirk. “Trying to run?”
Jiang Muyan had seen all kinds of people before transmigrating into this world—she’d encountered far worse thugs than these. Plus, her father had made her learn taekwondo from a young age, so she wasn’t easily intimidated.
Her first instinct was to kick the guy where it hurt and make a quick escape, but the system seemed to detect her thoughts:
[Host, self-defense is fine, but don’t get too worked up, you might trigger hyperventilation.]
Jiang Muyan: “…”
She’d almost forgotten about that.
The male alpha looked them over, his gaze suddenly lingering on Cheng Jianli.
Cheng Jianli was beautiful thick lashes, delicate eyelids, with an ethereal, ice-cold elegance to her features.
Instantly losing interest in Gu Xi, he stared at Cheng Jianli instead, whistling suggestively. “Hey, sweetheart, are you an omega? Wanna have some fun with me tonight?”
Cheng Jianli had zero interest in such vulgar advances. “One more word, and I’m calling the police—”
Before she could finish, Jiang Muyan yanked the guy’s collar hard. “Say that again, I dare you.”
The male alpha was pudgy and shorter than Jiang Muyan barely reaching 160 cm. He’d been emboldened by his numbers when trying to extort Gu Xi, but he never expected Jiang Muyan to grab him by the collar.
It seemed like the first time a girl had ever done this to him. He found it laughable and didn’t even struggle, just scoffed. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
Jiang Muyan had an innocent face even when angry, she didn’t look particularly threatening. The male alpha sneered even harder.
She hadn’t forgotten her taekwondo basics. Though she wanted nothing more than to beat this weakling to a pulp, she remembered the system’s warning, she couldn’t afford to get too worked up.
So instead, she opted for intimidation. “Her alpha is Jiang Muyan from Hongchuan Seventh High. Apologize now if you know what’s good for you.”
Cheng Jianli: “?”
Gu Xi: “???”
Gu Xi turned to Cheng Jianli with a stunned expression.
As far as she knew, Cheng Jianli hadn’t even presented yet—her secondary gender was still unknown. So how did she suddenly have an alpha?
Meanwhile, though Cheng Jianli’s expression remained calm, her heart skipped a beat at Jiang Muyan’s words.
Since when did Jiang Muyan know she was an omega?
Wait, since when had Jiang Muyan become her alpha?
The male alpha over there froze for a moment: “Jiang Muyan?”
He’d never seen Jiang Muyan before, but he’d heard the name.
The Jiang Group was a household name in this city. Jiang Muyan’s father, Jiang Huai, had built his empire from scratch, dominating the business world with unfathomable influence.
Now a prominent figure, he owned at least a hundred villas and held controlling stakes in major corporations. The rumors about him donating sports fields, laboratories, and entire school buildings to Hongchuan No.7 High School for his daughter had spread even to their No.9 High School.
“Apologize to her,” Jiang Muyan said coldly.
The male alpha’s expression darkened. Apologize? What a joke!
He knew Gu Xi was from No.9 High, and in his mind, these two were also students from No.9 they couldn’t possibly have any connection to Hongchuan No.7. Mentioning Jiang Muyan now was just empty bravado.
“So what?” the male alpha retorted. “You know Jiang Muyan? Are you her relative or something?”
His two lackeys burst into laughter.
Emboldened by their reaction, he sneered, “Hell, I could say I’m Jiang Muyan’s brother and you’d—”
Before he could finish, seven or eight Lamborghinis and Bentleys suddenly roared into the alley, blocking all exits. Everyone froze.
As if on cue, the doors swung open simultaneously, and over twenty bodyguards stepped out. At the front, Uncle Liu, wearing an earpiece, spoke sternly: “Yes, the young miss has contacted me. Don’t worry, Chairman, I’ll handle it immediately.”
He quickly led the team to Jiang Muyan’s side and asked respectfully, “Young Miss, what happened?”
Jiang Muyan kicked aside the now-trembling male alpha and said icily, “Make him apologize.”
“Then package him up and deliver him to the police station.”
Jiang Muyan had pieced together what happened Gu Xi had been cornered by these No.7 High alphas demanding protection money, her phone stolen. No wonder she hadn’t answered Cheng Jianli’s call.
The boy had to apologize at least a hundred times before Jiang Muyan was somewhat satisfied, after which she kindly arranged for their police escort.
With this disruption, continuing their test review was impossible. Jiang Muyan assigned a bodyguard to ensure Gu Xi got home safely.
“Thank you,” Gu Xi said to Jiang Muyan.
Jiang Muyan reverted to her usual good-natured self, scratching her head. “No problem. I’m Jiang Muyan, nice to meet you.”
Gu Xi nodded. “I gathered. I’m Gu Xi, Cheng Jianli’s friend.”
Cheng Jianli, who hadn’t spoken since the incident, now packed her bag, eyes downcast. “I’m leaving.”
Jiang Muyan blinked in confusion. “You’re not coming to my place tonight?”
Gu Xi suddenly remembered Cheng Jianli mentioning extra tutoring tonight was it at Jiang Muyan’s home? So, Cheng Jianli’s tutoring student was actually Jiang Muyan?
This realization made Gu Xi want to ask Cheng Jianli about that alpha she’d mentioned earlier. Cheng Jianli hadn’t even presented yet she might not even be an omega. How could she already have an alpha?
Gu Xi wanted to ask, but when Jiang Muyan heard Cheng Jianli was going home, she grew anxious. “Teacher Cheng, come to my place instead,” she tugged at Cheng Jianli’s sleeve. “I still have a math worksheet to finish tonight. If I don’t do it, I won’t be able to submit it on Monday, and you won’t be able to collect all the assignments.”
Since Cheng Jianli was responsible for tutoring Jiang Muyan, she knew the girl wouldn’t turn in her homework on Monday without supervision. She could only say, “Alright.”
Jiang Muyan brightened immediately, quickly bidding Gu Xi goodbye before getting in the car with Cheng Jianli.
