Falling Into the ABO World, I Tamed the Obsessed Alphas - Chapter 94

A Favorability of 1

Who would have thought that one day his favorability rating would actually turn positive!

Shen Yuqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement this was simply amazing. If he weren’t afraid of that precious “1” dropping back into the negatives, he would have hugged Song Wangzhuo fiercely and told him to hold steady!

Song Wangzhuo watched Shen Yuqing’s elated expression, slightly puzzled. Was inviting him to a meal really that exciting?

Still, his own expression softened as well. He was quite happy too.

Song Wangzhuo asked, “Do you have a favorite restaurant? Or any dietary restrictions?”

He mentally calculated the generous red envelope from the Song family would be just enough to treat Shen Yuqing to a nice meal.

But to his surprise, Shen Yuqing shook his head. “No need to go out. Aren’t we still doing tutoring? Just order takeout whatever’s fine. Besides, I need to go home first before heading to your place tonight, so the timing should work out.”

Takeout?

Song Wangzhuo immediately realized Shen Yuqing was worried about him overspending. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Yuqing added, “Oh, and I want strawberry milk tea the caffeine-free kind. The regular one keeps me awake.”

He muttered, “I don’t really have any dietary restrictions, so just pick whatever.”

Hearing his requests, Song Wangzhuo stopped hesitating and nodded. “Got it.”

Back in the classroom, Shen Yuqing had just sat down and was about to pull out his books when the system urgently chimed in.

[Host! The person you told me to monitor is packing up—looks like he’s about to leave.]

About to leave?

Shen Yuqing frowned. [Where’s he going?]

The system replied, [Found a ticket to another planet. Doesn’t seem like he plans to return.]

[What time?] Shen Yuqing checked the clock. He had to intercept the man before his departure—once he left for another planet, tracking him down would be far more difficult.

[1 PM. Based on system estimates, he’ll likely leave around 11 AM. If you want to catch him, you’d better hurry—it’ll take you at least half an hour to get there.]

Shen Yuqing took a deep breath. His earlier excuse to Song Wangzhuo about having “something to do at noon” had been a lie, but now, it had come true. He really did have urgent business.

Not a single clue could be overlooked. Shen Yuqing shoved his books back into his bag.

Just then, Song Wangzhuo asked, “Why are you putting them away?”

The two had been sitting together as fixed desk mates for a while now.

Shen Yuqing coughed lightly. “I suddenly don’t feel too well. Need to use the restroom.”

He quickly tossed his books into the desk compartment and added, “I think I need to rest. If I’m not back by class, don’t worry about me.”

Before Song Wangzhuo could ask what exactly was wrong, Shen Yuqing practically sprinted out of the classroom.

Song Wangzhuo: “…”

Was that the stride of someone feeling unwell?

He stared at the doorway for a moment before finally pulling his gaze back.

Lately, Shen Yuqing had been studying diligently. If he was skipping class just this once.

There had to be a good reason.

By the time Shen Yuqing reached his destination, an hour had passed.

He stared at the run-down apartment building before him. It was shabby, but still miles better than the place Song Wangzhuo used to live in at least this one had security patrols.

Shen Yuqing asked, [You sure he’s still inside?]

The system responded with an “Mhm”: [“I’m here, host. He’s currently packing his luggage and will be ready to leave soon.”]

Shen Yuqing entered the residential building. With the system’s guidance, he easily located the person’s apartment.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Soon, a voice came from inside: “Coming, coming!”

The door was pushed open from within, and the person inside said, “Weren’t you supposed to arrive in another half hour? Why are you—”

His voice caught in his throat. The look in his eyes shifted from hesitation to fear, and without another word, he tried to slam the door shut. Shen Yuqing reached out and blocked it, tilting his head slightly. “Feng Wei, judging by your reaction, I don’t need to introduce myself.”

In the end, Feng Wei let him in. He had seen Shen Yuqing at the banquet the night before and knew that a single word from this man could leave him with nowhere to go and nothing to his name.

Shen Yuqing sat down on the already tidied-up sofa. Feng Wei handed him a bottle of mineral water. “This is all I have at home. Please don’t mind.”

Shen Yuqing glanced around. “Let’s cut to the chase. Who told you to do what you did last night?”

Feng Wei’s face instantly paled. Though he had guessed Shen Yuqing’s purpose the moment he saw him, being confronted so bluntly left him at a loss.

The person who had hired him had assured him no one would find out. And yesterday, everyone had been covered up tightly.

“Not talking?” Shen Yuqing’s expression turned cold. “Or do I need to have someone persuade you to speak?”

Sure enough, at these words, Feng Wei’s defenses crumbled. Already guilty, he dropped to his knees with a thud. “Please let me explain! I really didn’t do it willingly!”

“The only thing you did willingly was take the money,” Shen Yuqing said, lifting his eyelids lazily. “Cut the nonsense. I still have the patience to ask you now. Once I lose it, it won’t be me asking the questions anymore.”

Feng Wei broke out in a cold sweat. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk! A few days ago, someone approached me.”

“Tch.” Shen Yuqing jerked his chin. “Sit down and speak.”

Feng Wei swallowed hard, stood up, and sat on a chair. “This job the other party sought me out for it.”

He had just resigned a few days ago. The planet Silino was too harsh for him to survive on, and he had already saved up some money, planning to leave once his lease expired.

But then, two days ago, someone had called him, offering a side job good pay, easy work. Of course, he had agreed. One last job, and he’d have enough to bring something nice back for his family.

There was just one condition: he had to bring Song Wangzhuo along.

He had worked with Song Wangzhuo before. His impression of the guy? Quiet, reserved.

But decent enough. If there was money to be made, he didn’t mind bringing him in.

Little did he know that as soon as Song Wangzhuo was involved, the other party would drop a bombshell on him.

The bombshell? At the banquet, he had to find a way to make Song Wangzhuo offend certain “people.”

Feng Wei had refused at first. But the other side dangled a hefty reward and assured him that all kitchen staff would be fully covered no faces visible. They’d even call Song Wangzhuo into the kitchen to help.

With everyone wrapped up tight, unless you checked the name tags, who could even tell who was who?

Feng Wei’s face was ashen as he said, “I didn’t actually plan to do this at first, but my mother called my father is sick and we urgently need money.”

So, in the end, he had no choice but to agree to the other party’s demands.

Before crashing into Pei Yiyan, Feng Wei had been wrestling with the decision, but the thought of the medical bills hardened his resolve, and he went through with it.

Afterward, he was terrified. When he learned that Song Wangzhuo was unharmed, he didn’t dare go near him again, afraid of giving himself away.

To distance himself completely from the incident, he even bought a flight ticket home for that very night.

Yet, he was still caught.

Feng Wei’s face was deathly pale as he watched Shen Yuqing’s expression, waiting for his judgment.

Shen Yuqing asked, “Who was the person who approached you?”

Feng Wei replied, “I don’t know him. He never told me his name.”

Shen Yuqing said nothing, just pressed his lips together and stared at him.

Feng Wei racked his brain frantically before stammering, “Actually, I think I saw him at the banquet yesterday. He was talking to the main family.”

The Song family.

Since it was the Song family, things became much easier to handle.

Shen Yuqing tossed his phone onto the table. “There are photos in the album. Identify him.”

This was something he had the system prepare photos of all the important or influential people within the Song family, both inside and out.

Their pictures had all been posted on social media, so it wasn’t difficult for the system to gather them.

Feng Wei quickly agreed and began flipping through the album. After a while, he exclaimed, “It’s him!”

He handed the phone back. Shen Yuqing glanced down.

It was indeed someone he recognized.

Song Lejin’s driver.

Seeing Shen Yuqing’s silence, Feng Wei thought he didn’t believe him and immediately added, “Sir, it’s really him! I only saw him once, but I wouldn’t mistake him. If you don’t believe me, check the back of his left hand he has a long scar!”

Shen Yuqing asked again, “What else did he say to you?”

“He didn’t say much else,” Feng Wei answered honestly. “But when I met him, I overheard him on a phone call. He called the other person ‘Young Master.'”

Young Master.

In the Song family, the only one who could be addressed that way was Song Lejin.

It seemed his earlier intuition had been completely correct.

Shen Yuqing’s expression darkened further. He took back his phone and stood, walking out without another word.

Feng Wei also stood, confused. “Sir, about this matter—”

The “noble” didn’t even look back as he left.

He must have let him go.

Feng Wei exhaled in relief and hurriedly resumed packing. He needed to leave fast! Get home as soon as possible!

Shen Yuqing went downstairs, his face expressionless the entire time.

The system asked, [Host, are you really just letting him go?]

He was the one who nearly got the male lead killed!

[Haven’t you figured it out yet?] Shen Yuqing patiently explained. [The person who approached him was Song Lejin’s driver. This was arranged by Song Lejin, who must have destroyed the surveillance footage immediately afterward.]

Without evidence, there was nothing he could do to help. This was interstellar society, not the underworld.

The system fell into rare silence. [But why?]

Shen Yuqing hailed a taxi and replied, [I had you track him all this time because I wanted to understand—why.]

Why target Song Wangzhuo?
