The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 86
The birthday party was about to start. Alphas, holding high stemmed glasses and accompanied by their Omegas, paused their social pleasantries as a woman Omega in an evening gown walked onto the stage. The host’s clear and precise voice, carried through the wireless microphone, permeated the room, drawing countless eyes upward.
The lighting overhead dimmed a degree from before. Unseen in a corner of the venue, the host of the party stood with her daughter.
In the faint light, Shen Zhi sat on a high stool, twirling the slender glass stem in her hand, scrutinizing the surroundings. Zhou Yue glanced at her daughter, snatched the glass from her hand, and quietly asked, “Are you ready?”
Her hand was suddenly empty, but the Alpha didn’t mind. She rubbed her fingers and replied, “Almost.”
“Are you really sure about keeping this from Huai Huai?” A trace of worry flashed in Zhou Yue’s eyes as she asked frankly.
Shen Zhi lowered her chin, staring at an imaginary point on the table, and suddenly let out a small laugh. “Mom, you know I don’t want any accidents to happen to her.”
The young Alpha’s voice blended with the host’s, and the slightly low female voice was not completely drowned out.
Zhou Yue silently sighed, ultimately saying nothing more.
As a mother, even when her child’s mood was low, she could feel it immediately. She also knew that while Shen Zhi looked generous and poised, her possessiveness toward Qin Huai had never diminished.
During her high school years, Shen Zhi was full of rebellion. Though she didn’t show it at home, she clashed with teachers, climbed walls to skip class, and participated in every forbidden activity at school. When a substitute teacher asked her to answer a question, she simply said, “I don’t know,” without a moment’s hesitation or thought.
That phase lasted for a long time. Zhou Yue noticed it but hadn’t gone to the school due to work. But one day, her little Alpha came home, locked herself in her room, and played videos on her tablet constantly.
When she finally overcame that habit, she started dragging Zhou Yue to the supermarket. The indifferent Alpha, dressed in cargo pants and a black knit vest, with dark hair beneath a black baseball cap, didn’t like browsing the snack or toiletries aisles, but had a particular fondness for fruits and vegetables.
Zhou Yue had never seen the smile on her lips, like the ripples from a small boat on a lake, when Shen Zhi lowered her head to carefully smell the oranges in her hand. The dimples in her cheeks melted away all the icy distance around her.
Later, she learned that Shen Zhi went to the supermarket to buy oranges because the girl she liked had a sweet orange scent as her pheromone.
The Alpha, deemed exceptional in appearance and talent by all, would secretly sniff every orange in the supermarket for one person.
Just to find the one that smelled closest to her.
And later, she really did find it.
Not only did she find it, but she also claimed the owner of the sweet orange scent as well.
Since it was what her daughter wanted, Zhou Yue naturally supported her. However, as a mother, she still worried about her daughter’s safety. “Have you made all the subsequent preparations?”
“Don’t worry, Mom.” Shen Zhi turned her gaze, the corner of her mouth slightly curved. “Dad has already contacted the police station.”
Arranging these things at Zhou Yue’s birthday party was not an impromptu decision; it was a carefully considered answer Shen Zhi had reached after much thought. From the very beginning, she never planned to hide Qin Huai. Her Omega was radiant and brilliant, the most dazzling star in the sky. She shouldn’t have to hide, but should stand tall, admired by all. When her name was mentioned, it shouldn’t be a substitute term like ‘Omega,’ but her name Qin Huai.
Shen Zhi picked up the wine glass from the table, took another sip, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she stared at the distant figure. “Mom, please take good care of Qin Huai for me.”
With that, she put down the wine glass, rose from the high stool, and slowly walked toward the distance.
The matter of Qin Huai’s amnesia during her heat had been circulating on the school forum for two days. Qin Zhijing had also been looking for Qin Huai for two whole days. Over these two days, every time he closed his eyes, he dreamed of his experiment succeeding, with Gu Qing kneeling before him, no longer looking down on him with cold disdain. These dreams intensified his drive to advance the experiment, leaving shallow dark circles under his eyes.
Coming to Zhou Yue’s birthday party today was also with the intention of capturing Qin Huai.
Qin Zhijing anxiously scanned his surroundings, the restlessness in his heart burning like a raging fire. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, repeating the action of scrolling through his contact list for the fifth time.
However, this time was different. A newly sent text message floated at the top of his screen.
Qin Zhijing immediately opened it. After reading the content, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, revealing the first smile since he entered the venue.
[Qin Huai was taken into Room 204 by Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi is on her way.]
Qin Zhijing let out a long breath and headed toward the stairs of the party venue, following the room number from the message. The sharp sound of the microphone lessened as he closed the door. Qin Zhijing had barely walked a few steps outside the door when his phone suddenly rang.
It was the police station.
Qin Zhijing’s pupils slightly constricted. He almost wanted to smash the phone immediately, but then forced himself to close his eyes and forcefully exhale.
Don’t be angry! It wouldn’t be long until he successfully developed the strongest inhibitor!
Qin Zhijing repeatedly reassured himself, then answered the call.
“Hello, we are the Public Security Bureau. Your laboratory is suspected of financial fraud. Please come to the police station to cooperate with our investigation.”
In the dark corner, the muscles on Qin Zhijing’s face tightened. A look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he eventually agreed. After the call ended, he replied to the person who had sent the earlier message.
[Bring her back to me. Keep her alive.]
In Room 204, Shen Zhi pushed the door open and entered. The sound of running water came from the bathroom. The room was exceptionally quiet. She walked around the room once, then focused her attention on the sofa. On the armrest of the sofa, a white dress very similar to the one Qin Huai was wearing was draped, with half of it on the sofa and the other half on the floor. On the wooden round table were a familiar inhibitor patch and a bottle of perfume.
Shen Zhi’s gaze lingered on the bottle of perfume for a moment. Then, she picked it up and sprayed a little into the air.
Under the white fluorescent light, a mist descended. The scent of sweet orange, unique to the fruit, permeated the room. If Qin Huai were present, she would undoubtedly widen her eyes, because the scent was almost a one to one replication of her pheromone.
Shen Zhi closed her eyes and leaned straight back onto the sofa, carefully inhaling the scent.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open from the inside. Shen Zhi opened her eyes just a slit and looked over. An Omega, dressed in simple pajamas and with a shower cap wrapped around her head, emerged. Her facial features were somewhat similar to Qin Huai’s upon closer inspection, but she lacked the cold aloofness in her temperament.
Shen Zhi pointed to the black evening gown on the bed, narrowing her eyes. “Put that on and go out.”
The Omega’s gaze swept over the dress on the bed. She was internally surprised why the Alpha’s clothes were so similar to the ones on the bed, but the Alpha quickly realized her mistake, lowering her eyes and looking at the Omega. “Just do what I tell you to do.”
The Omega, who was paid for her services, clearly walked up to the bed, picked up the dress, and headed into the bathroom to change. After about five minutes, she came out.
Shen Zhi lightly scanned her. Then, she waved her hand. “Alright, you can leave now.”
The Omega immediately pushed the door open and left, secretly delighted that she had earned a sum of money tonight without having to do anything else.
Meanwhile, the moment the lock clicked shut, the languidness Shen Zhi had displayed instantly vanished. She picked up the clothes on the sofa and began to change.
She looked at the familiar face in the mirror and blinked lightly.
It’s okay. Big sister is very safe now. They won’t be able to find her.
Having changed into the same clothes as Qin Huai, Shen Zhi sprayed a lot of perfume onto the inhibitor patch and stuck it on her neck, secretly feeling fortunate.
Sniffing the sweet orange scent so many times finally came in handy.
She relaxed, put on an eye mask, and lay down for a good five minutes. Suddenly, a very faint sound came from the door.
Then the door opened.
Two sets of footsteps approached, with quiet whispers. “Is that her?”
“Not sure, but the boss said the pheromone is sweet orange.”
“Well, it smells like sweet orange now.”
“Then it must be her.”
The two openly plotted right in front of Shen Zhi, seemingly unconcerned that she might wake up. After they finished their discussion, they took out gauze soaked in sleeping drugs from their pockets and pressed it against Shen Zhi’s mouth and nose.
When Shen Zhi woke up again, her vision was engulfed in darkness. Her shoulders were stiff. She tried to move and discovered her hands and feet were both bound.
This room was different from the one Shen Zhi had been in last time. It resembled a dark basement, or perhaps an abandoned factory in the suburbs unknown to anyone. A gap had been carved into the wall, but it wasn’t used for lighting; instead, it housed an exhaust fan. The only light in the room came from there.
The faint smell of blood permeated the air, and various mixed pheromones swirled throughout the room. Shen Zhi used the sole source of light to look around. In the center of the room was something resembling an operating table, surrounded by black restraints. Besides that, various surgical instruments were placed on tall trays nearby.
All procedures in an operating room must adhere to sterile principles, but not here.
Scissors and forceps were scattered carelessly on green cloth. Some scissors even had rust on their tips.
Shen Zhi no longer needed to guess where this was. She knew this was the place where Qin Zhijing dealt with those Omegas.
He used this place to extract Omegas’ scent glands, piercing the thin skin with a needle, drawing tube after tube of pheromones for his research and collection.
Shen Zhi pursed her lips, her eyes sharp as a drawn sword, emitting a cold, white light.
Qin Zhijing had indeed become anxious. And whenever he got anxious, there would be a loophole. Wasn’t this it?
Her original plan wasn’t like this. The post Qin Huai made on the forum had disrupted all her plans. But it didn’t matter. Any trouble could come straight to her; as for Qin Huai, she must not be harmed.
