Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Crisis

Wen Yan was about to open the door. Hearing the warning, her movement paused. Through the crack of the door, she clearly smelled the Alpha pheromones wafting from outside.

It was fishy and a bit foul.

Wen Yan and Xu Ruozhou spoke almost simultaneously. “Yin Rong?!”

Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply. “Didn’t the police take him away for investigation? How did he suddenly break into our house?”

“Attempted malicious marking of an Omega can be bailed out, but escaping from prison and trespassing, combined with his previous crimes—does he want to spend the rest of his life in prison?”

Wen Yan also found it strange, but now was not the time to speculate on why Yin Rong had broken into the house.

She quickly pulled up the villa’s surveillance footage on her phone. Xu Ruozhou stood beside her, and when they saw the scene on the monitor, both their eyes widened in surprise.

The Alpha’s eyes were blood-red, his steps staggered, as if he had lost his mind, wildly swinging the weapon in his hand.

The ground was covered in bloodstains. The servants lay sprawled out, with only Lin Xi still standing.

The black-haired maid looked calm. She raised the chair in her hand, continuously blocking his attacks, fighting while retreating. Her defense was remarkably effective. Although the opponent was a stronger Alpha, she was not harmed in the slightest.

Xu Ruozhou breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems this Lin Xi has some capabilities.”

The two looked evenly matched, but for some reason, Wen Yan had a strong premonition of danger.

This intuition grew stronger and stronger. Wen Yan practically ran toward the door. She was about to open it when a pair of icy hands grabbed her wrist. Xu Ruozhou frowned. “Wen Yan, what are you doing?”

“…I want to go out and help her.”

Intuition told Wen Yan that Yin Rong was coming for her.

She couldn’t stand by and watch Lin Xi die, nor could she stay with Xu Ruozhou and let her fall into danger.

Wen Yan bit her lower lip, unsure how to speak.

“Wen Yan, Lin Xi told you not to go out, which means she is confident she can subdue Yin Rong. Besides, Lin Xi is a Beta and is unaffected by pheromones. You see the situation now. Yin Rong must have used illegal drugs.”

Wen Yan’s face was solemn. She could sense that Yin Rong’s pheromone intensity was much higher than before.

Cases of acquired pheromone re-development are extremely rare. Yin Rong had most likely, as Xu Ruozhou said, taken some kind of illegal drug.

Such illegal drugs can briefly increase the pheromone level but usually have severe side effects, ranging from spitting up blood to sudden death.

Wen Yan’s expression grew more serious.

Is Yin Rong that stupid?

Although he was detained by the police, his family background is still there. There should always be people he knows willing to bail him out.

Even if he is affected by the plot, the plot was about him drugging and marking the female lead. Why is he suddenly coming after me?

The more Wen Yan thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more uneasy she felt in her heart. She felt as if an invisible hand was secretly controlling everything.

At first, she thought it was an accident, or that she was just overthinking things due to not adapting after transmigrating. But now, she had to consider whether there were other possibilities.

Wen Yan took a deep breath, slowly removing Xu Ruozhou’s fingers from her wrist. She smiled, attempting to send her away. “Wife, I’m not going out. Let’s call the police right now, using your phone.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ruozhou released her hand and ran to the bedside to pick up her phone, preparing to dial the police. Wen Yan looked deeply at her.

“Hello…”

The call connected. Xu Ruozhou had only said the first word when a gust of wind suddenly blew her fringe. Xu Ruozhou paused, looking in the direction the wind came from.

The Alpha had opened the door and rushed out.

“Hello, this is the Association…”

The operator’s voice came through the phone. Xu Ruozhou ran to the door and forcefully pressed the handle. Wen Yan seemed to have anticipated this. As she tried to open the door, the sound of an iron lock engaging came from outside.

The door was firmly locked from the outside. Xu Ruozhou hammered on the door panel, her voice anxious. “Wen Yan, let me come out with you!”

“Wen Yan, open the door now!”

The heavy door blocked the danger but also took Wen Yan away from her. A wave of dizziness washed over her. Xu Ruozhou’s back was gradually soaked in cold sweat. She leaned against the door, slowly sliding to the floor.

The phone was still ringing. Xu Ruozhou closed her eyes tightly and slowly picked up the phone. The operator on the other end finally heard her voice.

“Hello, I need to report a crime. Someone broke into my house. The address is…”

Lin Xi gasped for breath, dodging a fatal blow. The artery in her neck was intact, but the knife in Yin Rong’s hand had still sliced her arm.

Blood dripped from her arm, and the scalded skin looked grotesque.

“How could this happen?”

Lin Xi murmured.

Yin Rong had completely lost his mind, turning into a beast that only attacked.

This kind of chaotic attack should be extremely physically exhausting. Lin Xi had planned to wait until Yin Rong ran out of strength, circle behind him, and hit the back of his head to knock him unconscious.

She hadn’t expected almost an hour to pass with the opponent showing no signs of fatigue. Instead, it was her…

Who was about to collapse.

People around her fell one after another until only she was left. Lin Xi was forced to retreat continuously until her back leaned against a familiar door.

Lin Xi was forced to avoid the sharp knife aimed at the door, dodging to the side. However, this time, the irrational Alpha did not attack her but repeatedly smashed the door.

Lin Xi suddenly realized that Yin Rong’s target had always been the person hiding inside. Lin Xi frowned and forced him back half a step with the chair.

“Get out of the way!”

The Alpha let out a bestial roar. His bloodshot eyes were unlike those of a human, more like a monster that didn’t belong in this world.

Lin Xi bit her lower lip, tormented internally.

Wen Yan, who had abused her, was a strong Alpha but only C-level in pheromones. The wife she married was S-level in pheromones but was only an Omega, naturally physically weaker than Beta and Alpha.

Together, these two people’s combat effectiveness might be inferior to hers, a Beta, against an Alpha whose pheromone level was clearly higher than theirs.

Lin Xi hesitated more and more under the immense pressure. She knew that if she just stepped aside, she would be safe, but for some reason—

She didn’t want to do that.

The frenzied Alpha charged at her with the knife. Lin Xi raised the chair again. The door behind her suddenly made a pressing sound. Lin Xi was startled and immediately shouted, “Master, don’t open the door!”

The opening sound stopped abruptly. Lin Xi unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. She pushed forward with the chair, but the Alpha in front of her suddenly went berserk. His strength became even greater than before. He snatched the chair from her hand and used it to smash the staircase railing, breaking it.

Lin Xi stared at the vanished railing of the stairs, her pupils constricting. Falling from this height could be fatal.

Before she could avoid the dangerous area, the frenzied Yin Rong suddenly charged at her. Lin Xi subconsciously retreated. Her shoe stepped on an irregularly shaped piece of broken wood, and her foot slipped.

Followed by a dizzying sense of freefall.

Lin Xi tightly closed her eyes. Was she going to die?

Facing death, she finally started to regret. Lin Xi gave a bitter smile.

A second later, the expected pain didn’t come. Lin Xi was somewhat slow to react. Before she could figure out what was happening, a familiar voice suddenly shouted into her ear.

“Seriously, why aren’t you pulling harder yourself!”

Hearing Wen Yan’s voice, Lin Xi instantly opened her eyes. Her hand was tightly grasped. Wen Yan, who was holding her hand, fought the frenzied Alpha while gritting her teeth and pulling her up.

“Master…”

Lin Xi had never seen this expression on Wen Yan.

She had once wickedly poured hot water on her face, but now…

This person, whom she had hated so deeply, was putting herself in danger to protect her.

“Hurry up and climb up!”

The anxious voice sounded, interrupting Lin Xi’s scattered thoughts. She quickly used the hands to climb back up.

Lin Xi let out a shaky breath, her tone calming down. “Master, something is wrong with Yin Rong. Even if he took illegal drugs, a person can’t suddenly burst out with this kind of strength.”

“We need to work together to push him down. Using the height of the stairs is the only way we have a chance to win.”

With that, Lin Xi stepped forward, shielding Wen Yan, who was gradually losing ground in the fight.

In the chaos, she desperately searched for an angle to push Yin Rong down the stairs. Before she could act, a pair of warm hands suddenly grabbed her arm. Lin Xi looked down.

“Master?”

Wen Yan tapped her head, sounding a bit frustrated. “Are you stupid? You can already tell something is wrong with him.”

“Hurry up and run—”

“Are you trying to wait in a coffin by stubbornly holding on?”

Lin Xi: …

Oh, right.

Yin Rong’s target was clearly Wen Yan. Ever since Wen Yan came out of the room, he stopped hacking at the door with the knife. Every blow was aimed at Wen Yan.

The two ran frantically. Yin Rong pursued them relentlessly until the police arrived. The siren blared, and a tranquilizer dart was injected, causing him to finally break free from his near-mad state.

“Where is this?” Yin Rong looked confused. “Wasn’t I at the detention center? How did I end up here?”

Wen Yan clutched her chest, panting heavily. The danger was over. She glanced at the black-haired maid standing beside her. “Lin Xi, are you okay?”

The black-haired maid was silent for a moment, then said softly, “Thank you for your concern, Master. Lin Xi is fine.”

Wen Yan nodded casually. “That’s good that you’re fine.”

After saying that, she immediately started running toward the villa. Lin Xi was startled and quickly stepped forward, grabbing her wrist. Wen Yan turned back, looking at her confusedly. “What’s wrong? Is there something else?”

Lin Xi lowered her eyelashes, the inorganic black eyes hiding all complex emotions. “Nothing. Master, go find the Madame.”

“Oh.”

Ignoring the police’s questioning, Wen Yan rushed into the villa without stopping. She was worried that Xu Ruozhou might be too anxious staying alone in the room and do something silly like climbing out the window.

She hadn’t even reached the door when Wen Yan saw a familiar figure appear before her.

Xu Ruozhou was completely unharmed; not a single hair on her was touched.

Wen Yan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, she came out in time and didn’t implicate the female lead.

Hiding her injuries, Wen Yan showed a smile, like a puppy whose owner had returned home, greeting her at the door with barks. She flew toward Xu Ruozhou, her tone joyful. “Wife, how did you get out? I was so worri…”

Before she could touch her, a sharp gust of wind slapped her face, landing lightly but clearly.

Wen Yan covered the red mark on her cheek, her eyes wide. “…Wife?”

The Omega’s eyes were red, and there were un-wiped tear streaks on her cheeks.

Xu Ruozhou bit her lower lip tightly, trembling with anger. “Wen Yan, do you even know how dangerous it was just now?!”
