Out of Control Overnight: The Irritable Top Alpha Goes Mad Searching for His Wife - Chapter 37

Lu Shijun was a brutal and violent man. He never treated anyone with mercy based on their gender or age. He looked down from his height at the Omega who had slumped to the ground, kneeling at his feet, with eyes devoid of pity.

However, his aura was so overwhelming that even while being humiliated in this manner, the Omega’s eyes still flickered with a gaze of obsessed admiration for the strong. He bit his thin lip, and crystal tears rolled down his delicate face as he tried to explain bit by bit.

“Mr. Lu, I really did not mean it back then. I was too afraid to come forward because I was scared, and I really needed this job.”

He looked at Lu Shijun cautiously. His perfectly calculated display of misery even made the nearby manager feel a stir of pity. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, Lu Shijun only watched him with a freezing gaze.

“How can you prove,” he asked, “that you are him?”

The young man said nothing. He simply blinked his clear eyes at Lu Shijun, his gaze full of expectation.

Before Shen Qing could react to what was happening, the aura surrounding Lu Shijun shifted abruptly. A terrifying gloom masked his handsome face, and his eyes became like those of a venomous creature. He suddenly raised his leg. He moved with such speed that no one had time to react.

By the time everyone snapped out of it, the pitiable Omega had been kicked several meters away.

Lu Shijun stared at the man ferociously, his eyes looking as though he wanted to strip the skin from the man’s bones. “Who gave you permission to release your pheromones!”

Omegas were delicate by nature. This sudden, unprepared kick caused the man to spit out blood, leaving him unable to even crawl back up. The onlookers gasped in delayed shock. The hotel manager felt his skin crawl but did not dare go forward to help. Finally, it was Shen Qing who grabbed Lu Shijun, who was teetering on a dangerous edge.

“Lu Shijun, calm down. He is an Omega. You will be reported to the Omega Association for this. Send him to the hospital first.”

Shen Qing made the decision immediately. He knew the Omega in front of him was an impostor, but thinking of the blurred face of the Omega from his dream, he could not help but take a deep breath. What if it was him? Shen Qing did not dare to gamble, nor did he want to. He could only grit his teeth and have the subordinates take the man away.

The Omega was quickly led away by Lu Shijun’s men. They would handle the aftermath cleanly, so Shen Qing was not worried about that. The person he truly needed to worry about now was Lu Shijun.

Specifically, he caught sight of the pheromone bracelet on Lu Shijun’s wrist. The values were skyrocketing, causing his pupils to shrink. Recalling Lu Shijun’s roar, it must have been the Omega’s pheromones that triggered his rut.

“Inhibitor! Get President Lu’s inhibitor over here!”

Usually, Shen Qing kept an inhibitor ready in his briefcase, but they had come out to eat today and he had forgotten to carry it. The one time he forgot, such a major disaster occurred. He felt a massive headache. Had the doctor not said he had entered a stable period? Could it be because of the pheromone matching value?

Shen Qing glanced toward the Omega being taken away. At that single glance, Lu Shijun seemed to go mad. He gripped Shen Qing’s chin, forcing him to turn back.

“Xiao Qing, why are you looking at him? What is there to see in an Omega who smells like death? Oh, I forgot. Qingqing is a Beta and cannot smell pheromones. So, were you looking at his face? Is he good-looking?”

At this moment, if Shen Qing dared to say a single word of praise, Lu Shijun would absolutely rush over and tear that face apart. Fortunately, Shen Qing knew this man’s personality well. During a rut, one must never contradict him.

“No, I was not looking at his face. I do not even know what he looks like. I just wanted to see his injuries. I do not care if he lives or dies; I just do not want him to die by your hand. You would be in trouble.”

He spoke a lot at once, his voice like a clear spring, calm and steady. He offered no resistance to Lu Shijun’s actions. Instead, he followed the pull and moved his head a few inches closer.

So well-behaved.

Lu Shijun could not help but let out a long sigh of contentment. “It does not matter, Xiao Qing. It is fine even if he dies.”

The hand gripping Shen Qing’s chin transitioned into a gentle caress. His thumb brushed over the skin he had just pinched red. His movements grew increasingly tender, but the danger in his eyes only became more terrifying.

“I am sorry. I used too much force and made Xiao Qing’s skin red.”

Shen Qing did not care about the slight pain; he was only afraid of Lu Shijun losing control. In a short amount of time, the pheromone bracelet had surged from a normal value to 99 percent. Looking at the flashing red danger alarm, Shen Qing’s temples throbbed. Fortunately, someone finally arrived with the inhibitor.

“Assistant Shen!”

The scene was so frightening that most of the people nearby had run away. Those who remained only dared to watch from a distance. The pressure of an S-class Alpha was more than anyone could bear. Even hiding far away, their limbs felt weak and their breathing was difficult.

Shen Qing fared better. He always wore an inhibitory patch on the back of his neck, which blocked out most pheromones. Additionally, the Agave pheromones were only meant to drive others away, not him. Thus, he could barely remain steady.

However, the shout of “Assistant Shen” from the outsider was like a drop of cold water into a vat of boiling oil. Now, the entire pot exploded.

“Lu Shijun, let us use the inhibitor first, okay? After the inhibitor, you can do whatever you want. Be good. We barely ate any lunch, remember? I am still hungry. After the injection, we will go have lunch.”

Shen Qing was also very flustered. In his desperation, he said whatever came to mind regardless of whether it would work. He spoke as if coaxing a small child, hoping to pull back the man’s rationality.

The hostility surrounding Lu Shijun gradually subsided. He tilted his head, but his eyes became as deep and unfathomable as a dark pool.

“You are hungry?”

Shen Qing did not know the current state of things. He kept his eyes fixed on Lu Shijun, not daring to look at the colleagues around him. He nodded firmly. “Yes. You forgot? You said earlier you would have someone prepare a meal for me to eat here. But I do not think the environment here is very good. Be obedient. After the inhibitor, how about we go out to eat?”

Lu Shijun’s gaze finally moved away from Shen Qing and swept toward the colleagues in the distance. With that one look, the poor colleague’s knees buckled. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, and the inhibitor slid out of his hand.

The good news was that the inhibitor rolled toward them. The bad news was that Lu Shijun told everyone to get out. The hotel manager and Shen Qing’s colleagues hesitated for a moment before deciding to retreat.

As for Shen Qing, everyone understood without saying a word. Assistant Shen’s position in President Lu’s heart was different. If they stayed, they would die, but Assistant Shen was different. Perhaps he could actually coax the man into taking the inhibitor.

Of course, they were not truly abandoning Shen Qing. As they left the floor, someone asked fearfully, “Should we call the research institute? President Lu losing control is not a good sign.”
