The Blind Alpha Coveted by the Frail Beauty Omega - Chapter 27

Her expression became incomparably terrified.

The newcomer deliberately slowed his tone, feigning kindness, his voice clearly aged: “Little Shen, this must be the Miss Wei Jiangxue you mentioned, the one with great singing talent.”

【System 233: The villain Mi Feng has appeared with his subordinates. Strange… he shouldn’t be meeting you; this doesn’t fit the plot setting.】

Wei Jiangxue was powerless to complain: 【That’s why I told you to go check it out! Did one of our actions expose us? Focus on the times when Mi Ruian and I appeared together.】

She wore a faint smile on her face, her fingers pinching and rubbing her clothing. Sitting opposite her, Shen Meng immediately stood up and greeted Mi Feng respectfully: “President Mi, this is Miss Wei Jiangxue. Miss Wei, this is President Mi of the Mi Group.”

Wei Jiangxue couldn’t see, and she was displeased by this deep-scheming, poisonous old man Mi Feng, so she sat in place without moving an inch, only giving a slight nod, which barely counted as a greeting.

Seeing this, Shen Meng gave a few awkward laughs: “Miss Wei’s eyes are not very convenient…”

Mi Feng didn’t hold it against a blind person like Wei Jiangxue, saying cheerfully: “Then sit down first. You two… how was the talk? Miss Wei, don’t be constrained. I’ve been hearing Shen Meng praise how excellent you are, so I couldn’t help but come over to take a look. Furthermore, I actually have a bit of selfishness; I wanted to exchange thoughts and discuss things with Miss Wei.”

“President Mi, you might as well speak plainly.” Wei Jiangxue tilted her head slightly toward the source of the voice.

“Good,” Mi Feng responded, taking a shallow sip of tea, his voice gradually tinged with a hint of helplessness and worry. “Sigh, Miss Wei, you seem to know our Ruian?”

Wei Jiangxue did not deny it. Since Mi Feng had come looking for her and asked her directly to her face, he must have obtained key evidence. But how much did Mi Feng actually know? Since he hadn’t found the low-rent housing yet, the clues must have been cut off.

So, Mi Feng wanted to get clues about Mi Ruian from her, right?

“So President Mi knows Mi Ruian? Is she your daughter? I suppose I know her; I shared a rental with her for a period of time.” Wei Jiangxue began to play dumb, pretending she wasn’t clear about the true relationship between the two.

“Shared a rental?” Mi Feng’s voice rose slightly, unable to hide his joy. “Sorry, I lost control of my emotions a bit, please don’t take offense… That child isn’t my daughter, but she is more like a daughter than a daughter. Ruian is the child of my deceased younger brother. She had some unpleasantness with me a while ago and then left home. She doesn’t reply to messages or calls at all, and even blocked me. Is she still living with you? Where do you live? If I don’t find her, I truly cannot feel at ease; I would be ashamed before my brother!”

If Wei Jiangxue didn’t know all the inside information, she might really have been deceived by the false appearance of Mi Feng’s heartache for Mi Ruian. The old thing’s acting was indeed exquisite…

“Ruian, that child, has been strong-willed and high-spirited since she was young. Unfortunately, her health is too poor. I’m afraid of her getting sick or not sleeping well outside…”

Getting sick easily, a weak body—who caused that? Wasn’t it because she had to undergo pheromone intervention treatment? It was all arranged by Mi Feng’s recuperation process; what was he pretending for.

“Miss Wei,” Mi Feng’s voice moved closer to Wei Jiangxue; he must have been leaning forward while talking to her. “You are friends, and you both have relatives. You know that friction always arises between relatives, but our intention is not to make our relatives sad or angry. Learning that Ruian left on her own and her whereabouts are unknown, I’ve been so worried I can’t sleep night after night… Did she ever mention her home to you?”

So urgent—wasn’t he just wanting to know Mi Ruian’s hiding place? It was truly difficult for this old fox to pretend to care so much for a junior.

Wei Jiangxue commented on Mi Feng’s performance with 233 in her mind, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, appearing worried for Mi Ruian and Mi Feng’s situation: “This… President Mi, please don’t be anxious. I will definitely help if I can. However, Mi Ruian rarely talked to me about family matters, and I am not very clear about everything regarding her. I only know that she left early and returned late every day. In the middle, some small frictions occurred. Some time ago, the two of us had a fight over a noise issue. Mi Ruian took the initiative to move out, and we haven’t contacted each other since.”

Her words were filled with regret, and Wei Jiangxue seemed ashamed: “Sigh, if only I hadn’t fought with her back then, it would have been fine. Now I would definitely be able to help President Mi…”

“I see. Let’s stop our chat about Ruian here then.” Mi Feng seemingly believed her words and shifted the conversation: “Shall we continue talking about the cooperation? Miss Wei is a cautious, good child. Just before I entered the door, I heard you say you still need to consider it. Do you feel that the sincerity of Mi’s Starlight Media is insufficient?”

“No,” Wei Jiangxue shook her head. “The terms and treatment are things I never dared to imagine before. It’s just that I suspect this is a dream and I’m afraid that when the dream wakes, I will lose everything again. I need time to calm down and then think carefully about my future.”

Beside them, Shen Meng, who had been watching her nose and heart and not daring to breathe a loud word, finally spoke up to take the initiative in adjusting the atmosphere: “Yes, yes, Miss Wei is still young, in her twenties, no rush.”

An ambiguous laugh came from Mi Feng’s side. He led his subordinates out of the reception room without saying anything more to Wei Jiangxue.

In the subsequent chat, both Wei Jiangxue and Shen Meng had their own calculations, and their minds were not on the cooperation at all, saying whatever came to mind. Wei Jiangxue simply said her goodbyes and extricated herself. She quickly entered the elevator and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in the car.

【System 233: While you were chatting just now, I found out. The incident where you saved an Omega at SKY Mall was filmed by someone, and then the news passed through several hands and reached Mi Feng. He saw Mi Ruian grabbing your arm, so he started investigating your information. Fortunately, the content I set up previously helped you mislead those people.】

Wei Jiangxue remained silent, then said to 233: 【Mi Feng won’t give up; he doesn’t believe my words. I guess there are people waiting outside to let me lead the way. Right now, it’s inconvenient for me to send a message to Mi Ruian on my phone under surveillance. Use my tone to tell her that her uncle is asking me about her, but I’m not familiar with her and don’t want to get involved in these idle matters. Tell Mi Ruian to handle it herself and not let trouble find me.】

【System 233: Okay, I’ve sent it. So what now? Are we still going back? Should we avoid it outside for a bit? Don’t go back to the rental house?】

233, this single-celled system, thought of the problem too simply. Wei Jiangxue really wanted to give it a flick on the forehead to wake it up: 【We still have tasks to do; what is staying outside to hide all the time supposed to achieve? A very simple method is to shake off those trackers, but this method won’t be effective forever. You get through it this time, but what about the next?】

【System 233: …Don’t worry, I am a gold-medal employee, let me think!】

Wei Jiangxue ignored it and said directly: 【Now, I want to use that reward to restore my vision for 12 hours.】

This reward was like a trump card. If she were really being tracked, at the critical moment, Wei Jiangxue could stop pretending to be blind and give the “tail” an unexpected maneuver.

The elevator descended. Wei Jiangxue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, piercing light drilled into her pupils, provoking physiological tears.

The blind cane lightly tapped the tactile paving on the ground. Wei Jiangxue’s eye sockets were filled with moisture, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with red. In the elevator, she hadn’t dared to raise her hand to wipe away the tears; she could only force her eyes open, not letting herself cry, and letting them air-dry as naturally as possible.

Wei Jiangxue walked out of the Mi’s Starlight Media building. The afternoon sunlight penetrated the transparent glass doors of the first-floor lobby, making the ground sparkle.

A sensation of being watched followed her like a shadow. Wei Jiangxue understood that those were people sent by Mi Feng.

She restrained herself from looking around, having no free time to enjoy her hard-won light. The trackers behind her were like ghosts, the distance neither close nor far, as if they were deliberately teasing her.

Inside the building, Mi Feng hadn’t directly torn off his mask, probably thinking he could still use Wei Jiangxue as the only remaining clue. If she were successfully found, then Wei Jiangxue might be let go. But if it failed, then Wei Jiangxue estimated that on some future day, she would encounter uninvited guests at home inviting her to “talk” with Mi Feng.

Fortunately, Wei Jiangxue was not an ignorant ordinary person. She had the system to accompany her, was able to learn countless hidden pieces of information, and could plan everything earlier.

【System 233: There are only two people behind you. It’s okay. Listen to my command. Call a car and just shake them off.】

What did it mean “only two people”? Wei Jiangxue complained inwardly. Two healthy adults tracking her, a “blind” person—it was simply overkill.

Wei Jiangxue’s physical strength was not what it used to be. Ever since becoming blind, she no longer focused on physical training. At this moment, if she threw away the blind cane and ran for it, she would absolutely be caught in minutes.

Calling a car and letting the driver drive around a bit was one way, but… it was more likely that the two little tails behind would chase closely.

Wei Jiangxue hesitated, not knowing if she should take the risk. Her steps stopped at the fork between the taxi waiting area and the subway entrance.

The taxi waiting area was empty of people at the moment. She stepped toward it. Meanwhile, 233 timely reminded her: 【Those two seem to have discussed something. One person left. I guess they might have a new idea—to pretend to be a driver to trick you into giving the address.】

Wei Jiangxue asked: 【Then should I switch to the subway?】

233 chuckled: 【No need to worry. Watch me stop her at the parking lot exit.】

Wei Jiangxue didn’t understand what 233 was going to do, but hearing it, the system sounded full of confidence, so there should really be no need to worry.

A black sedan drove up to the waiting point, low-key yet luxurious. Wei Jiangxue guessed whether some rich person had come out to be a driver to experience life. Keeping her blind identity in mind, she did not hesitate, felt for the car door, opened it, and then sat inside.

“Master, please trouble you to take some extra detours and take me for a drive around the city.” Wei Jiangxue put away her blind cane, took off her sunglasses, and focused entirely on the tracker who was hurrying over.

But the car did not move, and the “driver master” beside her did not speak.

Wei Jiangxue thus turned her head in surprise. After seeing the face of the person in the driver’s seat clearly, her expression became incomparably terrified.

The rich fragrance of roses climbed onto her skin, and a light laugh sounded: “So you’re not blind? Have you been deceiving me all this time?”
