I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 28.2

Overwhelming moral accusations surged toward Bian Yunchen, threatening to drown her, giving her no chance to explain.

The rhetoric escalated, pushing Bian Yunchen into the position of being an accomplice in the persecution of Alphas.

Xuan Yuchi pushed through layer after layer of people, sweating profusely. Just before another person excitedly pointed and swore at Bian Yunchen, she covered that person’s mouth.

“Everyone shut up, let me speak!!!” Xuan Yuchi shouted, taking off her mask.

Anyone who attempted to speak up and interrupt her was immediately grabbed by the collar and glared at with three hundred percent fury.

It was truly impolite to shout at a large crowd like that, but Bian Yunchen absolutely couldn’t do it because of her identity.

What Yunchen couldn’t do, Xuan Yuchi would.

At this moment, Xuan Yuchi became the most emotional person in the room.

No normal person would engage a “madman” in a confrontation; even the middle-aged woman kneeling on the floor stopped crying.

“You, you, you, and all of you, turn off the flash!” Xuan Yuchi pointed at those people, her face flushed as she commanded them like a general reviewing troops.

The blinding flashes went out one by one. Bian Yunchen’s gaze followed Xuan Yuchi, focused as if watching a movie.

It must have been a movie that brought her relaxation and pleasure.

When she first debuted, Bian Yunchen had a lot of negative material bought up against her. Sometimes people would point at her and curse her on the street, and Black Fans would break into her sets and throw things at her.

Bian Yunchen remained indifferent throughout, never explaining, never responding, like a piece of cold jade that only focused on shining by itself.

Even Amy, when she was by her side then, would only tell her to walk faster or be careful.

Xuan Yuchi’s voice was hoarse from shouting. She paused to catch her breath, and anyone who made a move was immediately swept by her sharp glance, forcing them to swallow their words.

Although the enhancer was gone, a residual scent of an S-class Alpha lingered on Xuan Yuchi, enough to intimidate ordinary Omegas.

This group surrounding Yunchen was different from the group that came to cause trouble earlier. They looked like ordinary passersby, except for… the one on the ground.

The middle-aged woman clung to Bian Yunchen’s pants, crying out in alarm, “She’s an Alpha!”

This was not a warning, but an emphasis.

In an instant, the Omegas present turned hostile eyes towards Xuan Yuchi.

Jingcheng was unstable. Most Omegas coming to the airport now wanted to escape the area, but this didn’t mean they were numb to the tragedies befalling their kind.

Alphas, in the hearts of Jingcheng’s Omegas, had become almost synonymous with cruelty, cunning, and tyranny.

Xuan Yuchi realized with sudden clarity that she and Yunchen had been set up.

“Yes, I am an Alpha, but I am not from Jingcheng, and I have not harmed you,” Xuan Yuchi stated openly.

The key was “I have not harmed you.”

Omegas were inherently gentle and more sympathetic, unlike Alphas who held grudges and wished death upon an entire family of their enemies.

“I also haven’t harmed any Omega,” Xuan Yuchi emphasized again.

Bian Yunchen, squatting on the ground, lazily glanced at her.

If emotional damage doesn’t count.

The Omegas present fell into thought. Without inflammatory language, they couldn’t bring themselves to assault an innocent and specific person.

The middle-aged woman quickly changed her argument: “This is our Omega business; it’s none of your Alpha concern.”

She gripped Yunchen’s hand: “Yunchen, you are a star! Are you going to stand by and watch the suffering of your own kind?”

In one sentence, she once again put Bian Yunchen in a difficult position.

“Bian Yunchen is not standing by!” Xuan Yuchi pushed the middle-aged woman away, spreading her arms to shield Yunchen behind her.

She remembered Yunchen doing charity work!

Just then, her phone in her bag rang. It was Amy.

Amy had seen the videos wildly circulating online and was nearly frantic, especially since Yunchen wasn’t answering her calls.

The live stream from the airport was playing in the conference room. When the call connected, Amy was sweating nervously. This was a monumental public opinion crisis; if not handled properly, the entire Shuihe Entertainment company might truly collapse.

Xuan Yuchi’s voice trembled and cracked: “Sister Amy, you tell them! Bian Yunchen has done a lot before, right!”

She had seen it when she wandered around the company, but she couldn’t recall the details right now.

The employees in the conference room immediately pulled up a document and projected it onto the large screen.

Amy’s voice also trembled slightly: “Yes, you are right!”

Xuan Yuchi put the phone on speaker.

Amy: “On March 1st, Mangmai Year 133, Bian Yunchen donated one million yuan for national Omega fertility subsidies.

On May 23rd, Mangmai Year 133, Bian Yunchen spoke up on Twitter for an Omega, Ms. Yang, who was suffering from domestic violence.

On July 15th, Mangmai Year 133, Bian Yunchen established the Yunchen Charitable Foundation to help Omegas subjected to domestic violence with post-trauma psychological counseling.

…

From Year 133 to the present, Bian Yunchen has donated a total of over 200 million yuan for Omegas.”

Xuan Yuchi was stunned by the information and couldn’t help but look at Bian Yunchen.

She had thought that Sister Bian did charity work because celebrities needed to do some good deeds to maintain their image.

The Bian Yunchen she remembered was not a kind-hearted or meddlesome person.

Two hundred million… that was too kind-hearted.

Yunchen’s lips curled into a smile, seemingly enjoying the feeling of surprising Xuan Yuchi.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Faced with the clear data, Bian Yunchen, whom they had been accusing, seemed to be the one most qualified to accuse others.

“Hypocrite!” someone shouted from the crowd.

“Has everyone forgotten? Bian Yunchen was involved with the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Special Investigations, Bai Yi, and Bai Yi is a lapdog for the conservative party!”

“Bian Yunchen’s donations might just be political posturing; don’t be fooled by her!”

“Think of the sisters we’ve lost this month! Which one of them wasn’t bullied by Alphas? They risked their lives for the future of Omegas, while Bian Yunchen is safely being a big star!”

“Are those donations she made not just a pretense of sympathy!”

That person’s words were like a submachine gun, spitting out rapidly. With every sentence she spoke, there was a chorus of agreement in the crowd, starting with one person and slowly turning into a group.

Xuan Yuchi was outnumbered. She couldn’t outshout them. The crowd gathered closer, looking poised to attack…

Xuan Yuchi: [666, draw me something powerful.]

System: [Drawing a prize for you. Congratulations on receiving “God’s Favor”—Protagonist’s Aura. Duration: 30 seconds.]

What the heck is this?

Bian Yunchen whispered to the middle-aged woman on the ground, “I can promise you.”

The crowd was irrational. If they stayed any longer, both she and Xuan Yuchi would be injured.

Her mind paused for a few seconds, and a surge of vicious impulse rushed from her heart to every part of her body.

Nothing is more important than keeping the person in front of me alive, this thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

The middle-aged woman stopped clinging to her. Bian Yunchen was able to stand up. Just as she was about to speak, a beam of bright white light, like a fluorescent lamp, expanded outward from Xuan Yuchi.

Bian Yunchen was momentarily blinded but quickly opened her eyes. The surrounding people instinctively covered their own eyes.

“Damn, where did that light come from? My eyes are going blind.”

“What should I do? I think I can’t see! I’m never getting involved in drama again!”

“Don’t cover your eyes! What if they run away?”

“Why don’t you take your hand away!”

Xuan Yuchi secretly marveled: [666, you really are 666 this time.]

Bian Yunchen grabbed Xuan Yuchi’s wrist. Xuan Yuchi was still marveling when she was pulled by a force, swiftly breaking out of the surrounding crowd.

Where they passed, people closed their eyes. The two ran headlong out of the entrance.

A taxi was about to drive away. Its peripheral vision caught a white-gold light, glanced over, and the driver’s eyes blurred. The next second, everything was back to normal.

Bian Yunchen opened the car door, let Xuan Yuchi get in, then got in herself and closed the door.

“To Pingyancheng. I’ll give you ten thousand.”

“Hurry!”

Bian Yunchen looked in the rear-view mirror. The two cars behind them suspiciously started their engines.

Seeing the urgency of her guests, the driver slammed the accelerator, reaching a speed of 180, followed by a sharp turn. Xuan Yuchi nearly crashed into the window, stopped just an inch away by Bian Yunchen grabbing her.

That was close. Why was today so full of calamities?

Xuan Yuchi fastened her seat belt, then reached over to grab Yunchen’s seat belt and fastened it for her.

“Click.”

The seat belt was secured.

Xuan Yuchi looked up at Bian Yunchen, and the two exchanged a strange look.

“Are you sick?!” A motorcycle suddenly changed lanes in front, and the driver slammed on the brakes.

Xuan Yuchi lunged sideways, almost flying out, but was pressed down onto Bian Yunchen’s thigh by a pair of hands. The cool touch of autumn pressed against her face. The denim fabric was a bit rough, and before she could even take a breath, she was helped up.

“Did someone harass you in the restroom just now?” Bian Yunchen’s fingers were still resting on Xuan Yuchi’s arm, but her posture was very natural.

Xuan Yuchi said nonchalantly, “There were a few trouble-makers. I took care of them.”

Bian Yunchen gave a noncommittal “Mm.” They were in the car now, so it wasn’t convenient to ask too much.

Xuan Yuchi likewise said nothing more.

The two reached a consensus on one point: someone was deliberately setting them up, and they specifically chose Jingcheng. Their intentions were malicious.

Xuan Yuchi received another call from Amy.

“Hello? Are you two alright?”

The driver glanced in the inner mirror. Xuan Yuchi turned the volume down.

“We are in the car,” Xuan Yuchi subtly hinted to Amy that they were out of the airport and in a space with a third person.

Amy anxiously said: “I contacted a distant Alpha relative in Jingcheng. You can hide at her place for a few days. As for the program recording, I will communicate with them.”

Xuan Yuchi: “We’re going to Pingyancheng today.”

Jingcheng was still unstable. Who knew how many hidden schemes lurked in the shadows?

Amy: “This… there’s no choice then. Let her take my call.”

Xuan Yuchi handed the phone to Bian Yunchen.

Bian Yunchen: “Amy.”

Hearing Bian Yunchen’s voice, Amy, who had been composed her whole life, felt a lump in her throat.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, she could tell that someone had deliberately set a trap for Bian Yunchen today. Although many celebrities get involved in politics these days, how many truly end up well? They had already been very careful.

Bian Yunchen knew Amy was crying and said, “What must come cannot be avoided.”

Amy wiped her tears. Yes, Yunchen had always been like this over the years—never afraid, never backing down. Even if the King of Hell stood before her, she wouldn’t look him in the eye.

Amy was somewhat confused. Why was Yunchen so insistent on participating in this show?

Amy: “I will contact the production team again and urge them to ensure your safety in Pingyancheng.”

The toll booth sign grew closer. Dozens of armed special agents were guarding the station entrance, and over a dozen cars were backed up in front.

Bian Yunchen: “Okay.”

“Oh!” The driver slapped his forehead. “Look at my memory. I can only take you up to here.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Xuan Yuchi’s eyes widened.

The driver pulled over, unscrewed his thermos, and took a sip of his health tea: “I’m a Jingcheng resident; I can’t leave.”

Xuan Yuchi was incredulous: “Wait, I just saw Jingcheng people at the airport. Were they all returning from outside?”

The driver waved his hand: “I’m an ordinary person. I’m not like them. Alright, just transfer me 500 yuan.”

Xuan Yuchi was furious. She unbuckled her seat belt: “Are you messing with me!”

The driver turned to face Xuan Yuchi, his back pressed against the steering wheel: “I genuinely forgot. How about this, I’ll give you a suggestion: see if anyone in those cars that can leave is willing to give you a ride. After Jingcheng is Huicheng, and after Huicheng is Pingyancheng. You can take the high-speed rail, fly, or take a bus from Huicheng. It’s not far.”

Xuan Yuchi rolled her eyes. She suspected this person was doing it on purpose, trying to make money. He clearly knew he couldn’t leave but dragged them all the way here.

If they refused, he would take them back to the city, earning even more.

Bian Yunchen: “How much money do you want?”

The driver was guilty: “It’s really not about money. Look at that row of special agents in front. I can’t take you past Jingcheng even if I wanted to.”

Xuan Yuchi got out of the car, went to the driver’s side, opened the door, and dragged the driver out: “It really isn’t about money.”

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing!” the driver panicked. “The special agents are right there! If you mess around, I’ll scream!”

Xuan Yuchi covered her mouth: “I’ll give you two choices. Either I fight you and report you to the supervision bureau so you can never work this job again. Or, you rent this car to me.”

The driver had been ripping off customers for years, but this was the first time she met a tough one. Her eyes darted around, and she asked, “How much will you give me?”

Xuan Yuchi smiled: “One thousand yuan. I’ll return it to you no later than the day after tomorrow.”

One thousand yuan!

The driver nearly fainted. She drove this car alone; she earned far more than a thousand yuan in two days! She truly met her match.

The driver wanted to haggle, but Xuan Yuchi added, “Is that too much?”

The driver sighed: “Fine, consider me unlucky. But… how do I get back into the city?”

Xuan Yuchi got into the car, fastened her seat belt, and looked at the driver in the rear-view mirror, saying sincerely, “I’ll give you a suggestion. See if anyone in those cars returning to the city is willing to give you a ride?”

With that, she stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

Bian Yunchen sat upright in the back seat and couldn’t help but smile.

When she was little, she heard that the Xuan family had a little devil. One day she would bully the Chen family’s sister, the next day she would eat the Wu family’s daughter’s candy, and the day after that she would catch a tadpole from somewhere to scare the Ma family’s darling.

Although the little girls all succumbed to Xuan Yuchi’s tyranny and became her shadow.

Bian Shangying would still instruct his wife: “Don’t let our daughter play with that one from the Xuan family.”

Xuan Yuchi saw Bian Yunchen smiling and wondered if her actions were unethical and Yunchen was mocking her.

Just as Xuan Yuchi was about to ask, the special agents approached.

The special agent checked the license plate and said, “Jingcheng residents cannot leave.”

Xuan Yuchi: “We are not Jingcheng residents.”

The special agent took out an iris scanner and scanned Xuan Yuchi and Bian Yunchen before letting the two pass.

Remembering what just happened, Xuan Yuchi asked, “Sister Bian, you don’t think what I just did was very low, do you?”

She didn’t mean to scam an ordinary person out of money; she was just too angry.

“No,” Bian Yunchen said.

Xuan Yuchi: “Then what are you smiling about?”

Bian Yunchen answered a call from Jessica.

After learning that the plane had stopped midway in Jingcheng, Jessica immediately investigated the backgrounds of the flight crew and all passengers.

Jessica: “Patriarch, Bai Fei was on the same flight as you.”

The result was obvious: Bai Fei was the most likely person to be trying to harm them.

Bian Yunchen: “Mm, I know.”

Jessica: “The Bai family is too much, Patriarch. Are we going to wait and see?”

Bian Yunchen’s expression was cold: “Hand over the evidence we found to those people. They will make good use of it.”

Jessica was slightly stunned but quickly realized who “those people” referred to.

“Okay, I’ll go find the opposition party now.”

Bian Yunchen: “No.”

Jessica guessed Bian Yunchen was with Xuan Yuchi and found it inconvenient to speak clearly, so she asked, “Is it the conservative party?”

Even as she asked, she found it unbelievable.

Bian Yunchen: “Mm.”

Jessica: “But Patriarch, didn’t you already…”

Didn’t the Patriarch fall out with the conservative party?

Bian Yunchen didn’t explain: “Do as I say.”

Seeing Bian Yunchen wasn’t on the phone anymore, Xuan Yuchi insisted on asking, “So what were you smiling about just now?”

Bian Yunchen: “Go left.”

There was a fork in the road ahead. To go to Huicheng, she needed to go left. Xuan Yuchi had almost gone right.

Xuan Yuchi immediately corrected course.

The remaining light of the setting sun gradually descended, reflecting in Bian Yunchen’s eyes. The black obsidian was stained amber. Her entire body glowed with an orange-red light, like a red fox.

After cresting a hill, the sky completely darkened.

Xuan Yuchi yawned. Bian Yunchen told her to pull over and offered to take over the driving.

Opening the car door, Xuan Yuchi was still sitting in the driver’s seat. She suddenly hugged Bian Yunchen around the waist and complained, “You were making fun of me.”

Her body was encircled by Xuan Yuchi, as if an adorable charm had been added. Bian Yunchen unbuckled Xuan Yuchi’s seat belt and said earnestly, “I wasn’t.”

Xuan Yuchi shamelessly clung to her, suddenly lamenting, “Actually, I know you’ve always looked down on me…”
