The White Moonlight Omega Has Amnesia and Always Tries to Seduce Me - Chapter 88
Since Shen Zhi had hidden Qin Huai in advance, she must have made plans long ago. Qin Huai changed into the clothes Zhou Yue brought, pulled her baseball cap low, and headed towards the hotel entrance.
Shen Zhi had successfully gotten under Qin Zhijing’s nose, so this birthday party was no longer necessary. Qin Huai, dressed in a tracksuit, stood under the orange streetlights and glanced back.
The two-tiered fountain was spouting water, and the pool underneath was full, flowing down the edges to form a shallow curtain of water. Many Alphas brought Omegas with them, talking and laughing, mixed with various pleasantries.
Qin Huai took a quick look, recognized a few familiar faces, and turned to ask Zhou Yue, “Teacher Zhou, where is my father now?”
The commercial vehicle was approaching. Zhou Yue pulled her collar tight around her chest and smiled, saying, “He’s at the police station now.”
No wonder he was willing to let her out. Qin Huai thought to herself. The car in the distance stopped in front of them. She quickly opened the car door, then stepped back to make way, and only got in after Zhou Yue was seated.
The commercial vehicle was more stable than a sports car, and the leather seats in the back were worth a fortune. But as Qin Huai sat down, it felt like a hitchhike, and all she wanted was to learn more from Zhou Yue.
She leaned her body halfway, tilting her neck slightly forward, and anxiously asked, “What is he doing at the police station?”
“He was summoned for questioning.” Zhou Yue slowly explained Shen Zhi’s plan.
She could endure a life of hiding, but how could Qin Huai, such a proud person, accept it? Therefore, when she told Qin Huai to hide, she already had a countermeasure in mind.
The Shen family’s research on inhibitors has been valued by the government in recent years. So, when Shen Zhi learned that the police had clues from Qin Zhijing’s call records, she took it upon herself to cooperate with the police.
Shen Zhi used herself as bait to lure out Qin Zhijing, the big fish, while the police had to temporarily suppress the evidence until the net was cast wide enough for a precise strike.
Sensing Qin Huai’s worry, Zhou Yue patted her on the back, comforting her, “Let’s go home first, there are surveillance cameras there.”
Hearing about the surveillance, Qin Huai finally relaxed. She rested her head on the seat and slowly closed her eyes.
How could she sleep? This gesture was just a way to calm herself down.
She thought in her heart: Shen Zhi, you must not get into trouble.
They drove into the residential area. The lights in the tall buildings and villas were mostly on, and many dog lovers were walking their dogs on leashes. When Qin Huai got out of the car, a cold wind blew over, almost taking her hat off. She held the brim of her hat to steady it.
Opening the door and entering the house, the living room was brightly lit, the curtains were tightly drawn, and it was bright as day inside. Several people in police uniforms were sitting in front of computers, frowning and staring at the screen. Shen Zhi’s father, Shen Wen, sat beside them, his expression unprecedentedly serious.
“You’re back.” Shen Wen looked toward the doorway when he heard the noise, his face clearing of the previous gloom.
Zhou Yue placed her bag at the door, changed into slippers, and asked, “Have you all eaten?”
“Just finished.” Shen Wen pointed his chin toward the trash can, where the takeaway packaging was still visible, then asked Zhou Yue, “What about you two?”
“I’ve eaten.” Zhou Yue finished speaking and asked Qin Huai behind her, “Are you full?”
Qin Huai didn’t waste a minute during her time in the hotel. She didn’t lose her appetite; instead, she ate more than before. Even if instant noodles made her nauseous as they slid down her throat, she still swallowed them whole.
There was no particular reason.
Since Shen Zhi told her to take care of herself, she could only think about her after taking care of herself.
“Have those people left?” The police officer sitting in the middle of the sofa asked, facing the computer.
In an instant, the sound of slippers shuffling and drinking water stopped, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
Qin Huai was the first to react, rushing towards the sofa. The sofa was full, so Qin Huai stood behind it, stretching her neck to carefully look at the screen.
The image quality was blurry, and a flash of a green cloth with bloodstains passed by.
Qin Huai knitted her brows, her fingernails digging into the sofa, not letting go of a single frame.
Shen Zhi’s slightly hesitant voice came from inside, “There’s a lot of bloodstains here. I guess Qin Zhijing must have killed those Omegas here.”
The two police officers sitting together exchanged glances, and the one in front of the computer replied, “Take whatever you can.”
They didn’t need to elaborate. Over there, Shen Zhi rubbed a sealed bag, selected the patch with the highest blood density, tore it off, slipped it inside, and then put it in her pocket.
“There are many surgical instruments here.” Shen Zhi reached out and picked up an Allis clamp, the metal ring swirling around her index finger, “And a lot of ropes.”
The miniature camera must have been clipped to the shoulder of her clothing, allowing any movement of Shen Zhi’s hands to be seen.
Just as the police here were about to speak, Shen Zhi suddenly whispered, “Quiet.”
The moment the word fell, the door opened from the outside.
Shen Zhi squeezed back into the corner she was in, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.
The factory floor was eerily quiet, with only the whirring of the exhaust fan. The sound of Qin Zhijing pushing the door was like a crack in a pattern, growing wider and wider.
After Qin Zhijing entered, he didn’t immediately look at the person in the corner but instead went to the side to change clothes. Shen Zhi squinted her eyes, vaguely seeing the tall Alpha change into a uniform white hospital gown and put on rubber gloves.
His movements were meticulous, showing an inexplicable level of care in every gesture. Even the distance the gloves were pulled up to his forearm was carefully measured, as if he wasn’t going to kill but to save someone.
And indeed, he was “saving” them, at least in Qin Zhijing’s own eyes. After he put on his gloves, he adjusted the glasses on his nose, seeming to assume the person in the corner wasn’t asleep, and slowly opened his mouth, “Huaihuai, don’t blame me.”
As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Zhi but also Qin Huai on the other side felt disgusted.
Doing all the evil deeds and then pretending to be righteous was truly sickening.
Qin Zhijing walked to the makeshift operating table and tore off the green sterile cloth, wadding it up and putting it into a yellow trash bag. Next, he closed the sharps container and threw it in, followed by the set of surgical equipment.
He packed quickly, as if another second would contaminate his eyes with these objects. Once done, he finally seemed pleased, his tone faintly excited, “I know you like things clean, so Dad is getting you a new set.”
Saying this, he took out a clean set from the iron cabinet in the corner, spreading it on the operating table while casually chatting with his “daughter,” “You’ll definitely blame me, but Dad did this for a reason.”
“Gu Qing, because she had estrus amnesia, threw herself at me, and then played dumb afterwards, saying she didn’t remember. She was truly despicable, knowing I liked her and still treating me this way.”
These old stories were recounted by this person in a different tone, as if he was the victim. Qin Huai’s face flushed with anger at his shamelessness.
“A woman like your mother had a strong career ambition. Even after lying under me, she wouldn’t soften. So I could only use one method: get her pregnant. A child is an Omega’s best tether. Without any manpower or financial resources, it could bind her tightly.”
Qin Huai glared at the computer screen, her fingernails nearly digging into the sofa.
“Later, she settled down, but I didn’t expect her to commit suicide.” At this point, Qin Zhijing’s voice stopped. When he spoke again, his tone was a notch higher than before, “It’s all the fault of pheromones!”
No! It’s you!
Qin Huai couldn’t interrupt Shen Zhi’s carefully laid plan and could only protest silently in her heart.
The next second, Qin Zhijing’s voice became gentle again, “Dad is going to do a very great thing now. If this inhibitor can be successfully researched, it will make a considerable contribution to all of humanity. Your pheromones contain the part Dad needs. Would you hand over your scent gland for Dad to study?”
It was clearly a question, but it carried more of an arrogant attitude. Qin Zhijing replaced all the used items with new ones before finally walking towards the corner.
The corner, piled with discarded items, was covered in dust, grey and murky. A gentle breath could kick up a large cloud of dust. The girl sat in the corner with her hair down, her white dress dirty, looking very disheveled.
Qin Zhijing grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her up from her bowed head to face him. Upon seeing the slightly unfamiliar face, his eyes widened in shock, “What are you doing here? Where is Qin Huai?”
Shen Zhi curled her lips, her eyes full of sarcasm, “You have the nerve to ask about her?”
“I asked you where Qin Huai is!” Qin Zhijing increased his strength, his face showing none of the gentleness from moments ago.
Her scalp felt like it was being ripped off. Shen Zhi’s hand behind her back was slowly getting ready. When she saw Qin Zhijing’s eyes turn red and he lost his mind, she suddenly lunged, pinning him firmly beneath her, and punching him repeatedly in the face.
“You have the nerve to ask about Qin Huai?” Shen Zhi punched him again and again, “You have the nerve to ask about her? I’m going to kill you today.”
Qin Zhijing was an Alpha after all, so he wouldn’t just take the beating. He lowered his jaw, using one hand to grasp the wrist clutching his collar, and repeatedly asked only one question, “Where is Qin Huai?”
Shen Zhi didn’t answer, only punching Qin Zhijing on the forehead. After several times, Qin Zhijing passed out.
Shen Zhi’s fingers were red and throbbing, her face covered by a curtain of bangs. She bit the hair tie, tied up her long hair, and found a rope in the corner to bind the culprit.
After doing all this, Shen Zhi stood up straight and spoke into the miniature pinhole on her clothing, “It’s settled. You can come in.”
“You stand still first. Our people are all around this factory, and they are rushing over. You must pay attention to your own safety.” The police officer on the other end said.
Shen Zhi hummed, “I’m going to look around for more criminal evidence.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes landed on a locked wooden cabinet next to the iron cabinet. Shen Zhi squinted and walked towards it. Just as she was about to reassure the people on the other end, a woman’s voice suddenly came from inside.
It was a bit far away, and the sound wasn’t clear, but the inherent sense of detachment in the tone was unmistakably Qin Huai’s.
Shen Zhi paused, stopped where she was, and quietly waited for the voice to speak.
“Be safe. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
With just one sentence, Shen Zhi was filled with endless motivation, but she failed to notice the Alpha in the corner slowly opening his dark eyes.
