I Topped the Aloof Omega in a Scummy Alpha Novel - Chapter 6
She is now her sole creditor.
Xuan Yuchi activated international roaming and searched through her extremely long contact list for a woman named Sister Lian.
The search result showed nothing.
During her initial time abroad, she was often hungry and full by turns. The semi-basement she rented was next to the supermarket run by Sister Lian. Sister Lian was an Omega who had been widowed at a young age, and Xuan Yuchi often sought her out for a chat.
She “occasionally” also snagged some snacks from the supermarket. Once, she caught a severe cold and was burning up, close to death. It was Sister Lian who took her to the hospital. In that place, the poor couldn’t afford to get sick, much less go to the hospital. Sister Lian paid for her medical and hospitalization fees, and Xuan Yuchi gave her the ring, telling her to sell it as repayment for the money she owed.
Logically speaking, she should have saved Sister Lian’s phone number back then.
Xuan Yuchi searched through her contacts one by one and finally located a person whose note read “Kind Beauty Sister.”
Sister Lian: “Ah Hua, where have you been lately? I couldn’t get through to your phone. I thought you died.”
Xuan Yuchi: “I’m back in the country, Sister Lian. How are you doing lately? Is business good?”
Sister Lian laughed: “How can a small supermarket have a business that’s good or not so good.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Haha, well, Sis, do you still remember the ring I gave you?”
Sister Lian: “Oh, I’ve kept it for you. You’re back in the country now and you have money, right? I’ll mail it back to you.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Thank you, Sister Lian. Send me your bank card number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Sister Lian: “Alright. Come back and visit when you have time.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Xuan Yuchi lay on the sofa. Xuan Ling came out of the kitchen and, seeing Xuan Yuchi’s posture, hesitated to speak.
Xuan Ling: “Yuchi, who were you talking to on the phone?”
Xuan Yuchi: “A friend from my time abroad.”
Xuan Ling didn’t ask further and turned back into the kitchen.
Xuan Yuchi closed her eyes. The sunlight streamed in from outside, shining on her body. The morning sun was still warm and cozy, making her sleepy again.
“Knock, knock, knock!” An urgent knocking sound rang out.
Xuan Yuchi went to open the door.
Five women in uniform stood at the entrance. The one leading them showed her identification: “We are from the Special Investigations Bureau. We are here to conduct a search regarding the previous owner of the Chenjing Mansion who stole items during the property handover.”
The person next to her presented a search warrant.
Hearing the noise outside, Xuan Ling quickly walked out and pulled Xuan Yuchi behind her.
She carefully examined the investigator’s ID and the search warrant, took out her phone to scan the QR code on it, and after confirming they were genuine, reluctantly stepped aside.
Seeing her mother handle the situation skillfully, Xuan Yuchi instinctively knew this wasn’t the first time.
The special investigators entered and began searching. Xuan Yuchi whispered to her: “Mother, did you steal anything?”
Although the possibility of such a thing was minuscule, it was safer to ask.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Xuan Ling’s face: “Of course not!”
The Xuan family had been wealthy before. Even if life was difficult, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
The contents of the house quickly turned into a messy pile. Items on the tables and in the drawers were picked up and carelessly tossed onto the floor, clattering loudly.
This was clearly deliberate sabotage!
One investigator picked up a family photo of Xuan Yuchi’s family of three from the TV wall and subconsciously went to throw it on the floor. Xuan Yuchi quickly stepped forward and snatched the photo.
“If you break things, will you pay for them?!” Xuan Yuchi roared.
All the investigators stopped and looked at Xuan Yuchi.
The team leader, Li Jing, raised her hand, and the others continued with their work. She walked up to Xuan Yuchi and sneered: “Our Special Investigations Bureau is very busy. Naturally, we do things as quickly as possible. Please do not provoke trouble.”
Xuan Ling pulled Xuan Yuchi back and took the photo from her hand: “Forget it, Yuchi, those things aren’t valuable…”
Li Jing patted Xuan Yuchi’s shoulder and mocked: “You have a long life ahead of you. You’ll get used to it.”
Xuan Yuchi glared at her bitterly. She had never been bullied like this since she was a child.
“Slap!”
“Slap!”
Xuan Yuchi struck left and right, landing two loud slaps on Li Jing’s face.
Everyone present was stunned.
A down-and-out nobody actually dared to hit a special investigator?!
Li Jing narrowed her eyes. The stinging sensation reminded her of the humiliation she had suffered. She instantly became furious, grabbed Xuan Yuchi’s neck, and pressed her against the wall.
Xuan Ling tried to pull Li Jing’s hands away, but having been accustomed to a pampered life, she couldn’t budge Li Jing at all.
Watching Xuan Yuchi’s face turn purple, she cried out in panic: “If this continues, my daughter will be strangled to death, let go quickly!”
“Why don’t you people come and pull her off!”
The investigators exchanged glances and all silently chose to ignore it.
Everyone in the bureau knew that Li Jing’s backer was the Bai family. No one dared to question her decisions.
Xuan Yuchi didn’t beg for mercy. A few small red dots appeared around her eyelids, and she just stared at Li Jing.
Xuan Yuchi: [666, save me!]
System: [Detecting that the host is about to be in mortal danger, initiating emergency protection. Please complete the action command…]
Xuan Yuchi: [Seriously? At a time like this, you still want me to complete a command!]
Li Jing’s fingers dug into Xuan Yuchi’s neck. If she maintained this pressure for just a little longer, a life would be lost here.
However, this would definitely be an accident, as this lowlife attacked her first. Everyone present saw it.
Perhaps she could even use this to claim credit from Bai Fu.
Li Jing showed a hint of smugness.
But in the next second, she had to close her eyes because someone spat on her face.
Xuan Yuchi smiled wickedly. Even though it was difficult to smile in her current state, she couldn’t lose her poise.
“I’m going to kill you!” Li Jing roared.
Before her fist could smash towards Xuan Yuchi, she suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed onto the floor.
Immediately after, she started foaming at the mouth, and large and small bumps quickly appeared on her face. She furiously pointed at Xuan Yuchi: “What did you do to me?”
Xuan Yuchi rubbed her neck, taking deep breaths, and didn’t forget to look down disdainfully at Li Jing on the floor.
Nothing much.
She just drew a mouthful of highly toxic spit, that’s all.
The bumps on Li Jing’s face swelled wildly, popping one after another. She screamed and writhed on the floor in pain. The other investigators had never seen such a situation. They had no choice but to call an ambulance and then take Xuan Yuchi into custody.
Xuan Yuchi was detained in the bureau for three days, which felt like three days of senior high school life. The Special Investigations Bureau managed temporary detainees the same way they managed prisoners.
On the fourth day, through a lottery, Xuan Yuchi collected all the tools for a prison break. Although the system warned her not to do it, Xuan Yuchi stated that if she stayed there any longer, she would die on the spot.
She had given her cellmate sleeping pills and was about to show off her skills when a guard called her out.
The person who came to pick up Xuan Yuchi was a woman with a high ponytail and a capable appearance.
She was there to bail Xuan Yuchi out.
Xuan Yuchi stared at her for a few seconds but couldn’t recall who she was, so she asked: “Who are you?”
Jessica glanced at her: “You don’t need to know.”
The procedures were quickly completed. The guard returned Xuan Yuchi’s personal belongings. Under the scorching sun, Xuan Yuchi hailed a taxi and safely returned home.
Xuan Ling’s eyes reddened when she saw her daughter: “Yuchi, you’ve suffered.”
Xuan Yuchi was also close to tears.
The food in the jail was even worse than what Xuan Ling cooked.
Xuan Yuchi: “Mother, did you save me?”
Xuan Ling shook her head: “Our family doesn’t have that ability now. It was likely…”
Xuan Yuchi: “Grandmother’s family?”
Xuan Yuchi’s grandmother’s family, which was her mother’s maternal family, was deeply rooted in the city of Te. They had been involved in politics for generations. However, ever since her mother married her spouse, they had severed ties with that side.
The only one who had a special relationship with her and the ability to pull her out at this critical moment was likely her grandmother’s family.
Xuan Ling was silent for a few seconds before finally giving a confirming “hmm.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Mother, while I was locked up…”
“Did Yun Chen come looking for me these past few days when I wasn’t here?”
Xuan Ling: “No, she didn’t.”
Xuan Yuchi felt a little disappointed. Sister Bian’s hard-to-get act was lasting a bit too long.
But perhaps she was too busy. Big stars are very busy, after all.
Another three days passed.
Xuan Yuchi was so bored that she called Sister Lian to ask about the mailing status of the ring.
“The number you dialed is currently busy…”
For three days straight, Sister Lian’s phone was unreachable.
Could something have happened to Sister Lian?
“Knock, knock.”
A light, leisurely knock on the door sounded.
Xuan Yuchi went to open the door. Xuan Ling beat her to it, first checking the peephole before opening the door.
The person was Jessica.
She looked at Xuan Yuchi and said, “Come with me.”
Xuan Yuchi: “This time you have to tell me who you are, right?”
Jessica raised an eyebrow: “A Bian family member.”
Xuan Yuchi grinned: “Did Sister Bian send you? Oh! So it was Sister Bian who saved me!”
Jessica couldn’t stand her smug look and turned to leave. Xuan Yuchi followed her like a little duck, wearing slippers and “pat-pat-pat”-ing behind her, not even hearing Xuan Ling tell her to change her shoes.
Jessica drove a Mercedes-Benz. Xuan Yuchi calmly sat in the back seat.
Jessica glanced in the rearview mirror, slightly displeased. By seniority, she was one generation younger than Bian Yunchen. Although Xuan Yuchi was engaged to the head of the family, she was still the most highly regarded person in her generation. Was Xuan Yuchi treating her like a driver or an assistant?
Xuan Yuchi: “Hey, I remember Sister Bian didn’t like sandalwood before, did she?”
Xuan Yuchi smelled the scent of sandalwood as soon as she got into the car, which was actually quite pleasant.
Jessica: “This is my car.”
Xuan Yuchi: “Wow, Sister Bian pays you guys really well.”
Jessica: “…”
Great, she was being treated as a subordinate.
Jessica didn’t want to say another word to this person.
The Mercedes drove to Lihua Road, the area with the most entertainment and media companies. The actors in one building alone could film an entire TV series.
But those were the buildings in the front area, tall and crowded, filled with a busy atmosphere.
Further back, in the middle area, the buildings gradually became shorter. One building was one company, and the sun rose from that direction.
The Mercedes stopped in front of a six-story low-rise building. This single building occupied significantly more land than the other large buildings next to it. It was named “Shuihe Entertainment.”
Xuan Yuchi got out of the car, the sunlight was blinding.
Did this Bian family member bring her to Sister Bian’s company?
Entering the lobby, the front desk lady was first drawn by the sound of slippers on the floor, and her expression was a little subtle.
Stalker fan alert.
Jessica stepped forward and gave her phone number, and only then did the front desk open the security gate for the two of them.
The lady’s expression became even more subtle.
A stalker fan with internal connections.
Amy received the report from the front desk and first called Bian Yunchen, who was far away watching a show in BALI.
“Boss, that person is here.”
Bian Yunchen: “Mmm, no need for special treatment.”
Amy gave a robot-like smile.
“Sign this.” Jessica went into a room and came out with a pen and a document in her hand.
Xuan Yuchi took it and looked.
“Assignment of Creditor’s Rights Agreement?”
It clearly listed the signatures of all her creditors from abroad.
The last signature, elegant and sweeping, was Yun Chen’s name.
Yun Chen had paid off all her debts abroad. As long as she signed this agreement, Yun Chen would become her sole creditor.
Xuan Yuchi signed without a second thought, flipped through, and signed the next page as well.
She no longer had to worry about being threatened with having her fingers chopped off halfway through her journey.
