When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 27

The five-day banquet was still ongoing. During the event, the entire Yi family estate looked quite dreamy, with beautiful decorations everywhere. Small parties by the pool and horse track never stopped.

Yi Jing had estimated the daily cash flow of the Yi family’s banquet in his spare time, and feared that even the most basic consumables would cost nearly 100 million.

After all, everything at this banquet, from decorations to drinks to desserts, was in the top brand category. Even the toys and souvenirs were expensive, with each item costing a huge amount of money.

However, this expense was just a drop in the bucket for the Yi family. Such a large expenditure was merely to cover up the true purpose of the Yi family gathering these wealthy partners –

While the lively banquet was going on outside, the real organizers of this gathering had long since skipped the pleasantries and relaxation steps, and gathered in a secret conference room deep inside the main residence.

The more lively the gathering outside, the more serious the family’s real decision-makers were in their meeting.

Yi Jing had heard from Yi Heng early on that the real purpose of this banquet was largely to deal with some unexpected issues in the Yi family’s business, but she didn’t expect it to be handled this way.

Taking advantage of the gathering time to bring partners together to discuss countermeasures? It’s quite an idea, no wonder Auntie didn’t come.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. With lives at stake, it wouldn’t be an easy matter to resolve anyway. The person who suddenly died at the Yi family banquet was just one manifestation of the business failure, with deeper underlying reasons.

Unfortunately, those reasons were beyond what Yi Jing could investigate now.

Yi Jing was definitely not an outsider in the Yi family, but she didn’t seem to be very integrated either.

Yi Jing’s level of participation in this gathering was not high. Yesterday, she only observed the guests all day. Today she finally participated in some meetings. Now the meetings had gone on until the afternoon, and Yi Jing hadn’t been able to attend at all. She only sat in on some insignificant parts in the morning.

The truly critical information was probably only known to the old man who had become the family head and the new generation of family decision-makers. Yi Jing guessed that if she really wanted to understand the Yi family’s business, she would definitely need to start with the content of what these people discussed. But she wasn’t very interested in these things at the moment. What she wanted to do most now was to get Yu Miao’s information back.

During a break in the meeting, Yi Jing took the opportunity to meet up with Xu Zaixi, who also wasn’t qualified to participate further in the meeting. The two of them left together from that hidden, highly secure conference room deep in the main residence.

Neither Yi Jing nor Xu Zaixi wanted to reveal everything first, so they chatted casually as they strolled to a terrace on the upper floor of the main residence that had good sunlight and was far from security.

Yi Jing was thinking about how to probe more deeply into Xu Zaixi’s work content. While chatting, she stood beside Xu Zaixi and lit a cigarette, saying seemingly casually:

“It seems the family heads gathered this time because of major problems with the family business, but looking at the family’s recent accounts, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong. In this situation, which business do you think might have problems?”

The wisps of smoke curled away with the breeze, quickly disappearing from her hand.

Yi Jing didn’t actually smoke and had no interest in it. She only started learning unconsciously after occasionally seeing Yu Miao smoke and finding it alluring.

Now with many things weighing on her mind, she unconsciously brought some, as if Yu Miao was beside her too.

Standing next to her, Xu Zaixi smiled. He was even more of a chain smoker. Seeing Yi Jing light up, he pulled out his own usual cigarette without a word. Squinting his eyes with a smile, he said, “I’m not clear on that. Isn’t Yi Mingyu involved in all the business matters? I can’t meddle in that.”

Yi Jing glanced at Xu Zaixi: “You don’t seem worried at all… What, not afraid of losing your job? If Deputy Director Yi’s business fluctuates, won’t you be affected too?”

Xu Zaixi laughed, finally loosening up a bit: “Security Chief, don’t try to trick me. The Yi family isn’t as simple as you think. The business empire of these families combined is bigger than you can imagine. Everyone has their own role to play. I’m not that easy to fire.”

“Is that so?” Yi Jing smiled, looking at Xu Zaixi, “In that case, I should be part of this empire too? What’s my role then?”

“Of course, it’s to do well in your official circles,” Xu Zaixi spread his hands, “For you, your duty is to investigate cases well and secure your position as Security Chief. As for me, I’m the one doing the dirty work. Not having to get involved in these things is a blessing. You should cherish it, Security Chief Yi. There’s really no need to dwell on it.”

Including her chat with Yi Heng, this was the second time Yi Jing had heard someone say that “not getting involved in the Yi family’s business is a blessing.”

Just how complicated must the Yi family’s business be for both outsiders and insiders to unanimously believe that not getting involved is a blessing?

But if the Yi family’s business really isn’t anything good, why are the Yi family members fighting over it?

Yi Jing chuckled lightly, about to ask, when she heard a servant behind them say softly to a passing butler: “It’s terrible, an omega is beating someone in the central garden. The victim is even a young lady. What should we do?”

Before the butler could respond, Xu Zaixi laughed with a “tsk”, saying as if enjoying the drama: “Oh, it’s still Deputy Director Yi’s place that’s lively. How could there be a fight at such a nice banquet? How were the family members taught?”

Yi Jing frowned instinctively, looking at Xu Zaixi with some displeasure.

What’s wrong with an omega beating someone? If Yu Miao wanted to, I wouldn’t mind her beating you either.

On the other side, the butler and servant’s reactions to Xu Zaixi’s words were quite different.

The butler looked over, and upon seeing Xu Zaixi as an outsider, approached with a gentle expression and respectful demeanor. He apologized to Xu Zaixi in a soft voice for disturbing the guests, as if guests overhearing such news was something very impolite.

Yi Jing had no interest in dealing with this old-fashioned aristocratic etiquette. But after her brief moment of displeasure, she quickly noticed the issue.

As Xu Zaixi just said, there should be very few omegas who would fight at this banquet.

After all, those attending the banquet were either the younger generation of the guest families or, as Xu Zaixi said, servants who had already been “well-trained.” At this time, no one should randomly attack others for no reason, unless…

Was it Yu Miao??

Was some plot happening to her??

Yi Jing’s heart jolted. She strode over and grabbed the servant’s arm, pulling her in front of herself: “Who did you say was fighting? Where did it happen?”

The servant was startled, looking at the frowning butler behind her with panic in her eyes. She stammered: “It- it’s by the fountain statue behind the central garden. It’s… it’s a very beautiful female omega who hit someone. She seems to have used some drugs she shouldn’t have…”

As soon as Yi Jing heard “drugs,” she knew who it was. Without even listening to the rest of what the servant had to say, she pushed the person away and rushed out.

Central garden… central garden…

Damn it! The main residence was still some distance from the central garden. With people coming and going all over the Yi family estate now, Yu Miao must not be bullied!

Otherwise… Yi Jing bit her lip lightly. Otherwise, she really didn’t know what she would do.

“Huh?” Xu Zaixi was stunned, looking at Yi Jing’s actions with great surprise. He was about to open his mouth to tease and find out more about the situation, but before he could say anything, Yi Jing had already turned a corner and disappeared.

Xu Zaixi: “??”

What was that about?

Left behind, Xu Zaixi was very puzzled. But this person’s mind was always quick. With a turn of thought, he recalled some things he hadn’t paid attention to before.

Didn’t Yi Jing mention before that she had an omega she cared about a lot?

Could it be the one from today?

That’s quite a coincidence.

Xu Zaixi was only confused for a second before quickly reacting. His casual expression instantly became alert, and he directly chased after Yi Jing.

With such excitement, he had to go watch.

If he could do Yi Jing a favor, wouldn’t it be more convenient to get things done in the future? After all, she was the Security Chief of Jing’an City’s core district, the second-in-command of the city’s judicial system. There was no limit to what she could do. It might even save his life one day.

Yi Jing didn’t know someone was already thinking of selling her a favor. Her mind was filled with only one thought – faster, even faster.

— She had to go protect Yu Miao!

Making things spicy was the only real business of this crappy novel. There was no need to consider how this trashy novel would design Yu Miao as the female lead! Yi Jing could imagine with her feet how those NPCs would react when they saw Yu Miao… Damn it, she had thought the plot would be different after she appeared… If only she had known, she should have stayed by Yu Miao’s side without leaving a step! Why was she so careless back then!

Now the only thing she could hope for was that Yi Heng, that idler whose only talent was being well-informed, could arrive at the scene as early as possible, the earlier the better.

The three of them had already talked on the phone yesterday. Yi Heng should at least react to protect Yu Miao.

She would find Yu Miao as quickly as possible… She must hurry, she must make it in time!

—

Half an estate away from Yi Jing, in the central garden that was quite far from her, Yu Miao was panting heavily while holding a white stone decorative statue.

Not far away, Zhao Qin was sitting on the ground with a bloody head, cursing loudly. While spewing some unspeakable words, he was still crawling towards the people around him.

Yu Miao stared at him intently, her fingers still digging into the crevices of the white stone statue. The rough stone surface had made Yu Miao’s fingertips bleed slightly, but she seemed not to feel it and continued to stare fixedly at the bloodied Zhao Qin.

She had wanted to do this for a long time.

Since her previous life.

She should have taken revenge on Zhao Qin long ago.

Originally, with so many things happening during the banquet, Yu Miao had almost forgotten about such a person. But Zhao Qin deliberately courted death by finding someone to access her former company email and pretending to be one of her old informants, saying he had news tips for her…

Heh.

She remembered that nothing like this had happened in her previous life. Sure enough, this was just that beast Zhao Qin trying to lure her to the central garden to harm her.

Yu Miao didn’t know where this bastard’s intense hatred for her came from, to be so vicious as to think of injecting her with drugs to induce her heat cycle right here in the central garden, a public place. Then he planned to bring his spoiled friends to abuse her wantonly in front of everyone – not only harming her but also letting all the passersby at the banquet come watch her—

Bastard!

He was simply asking for death!

Looking at Zhao Qin’s bloodied head from being hit, Yu Miao’s expression was frighteningly cold.

The hatred accumulated over two lifetimes burned so intensely that she felt a ringing in her ears. Even her breathing carried the scent of blood. Every additional glance at Zhao Qin only made her want to kill him more.

At first, Yu Miao hadn’t been this angry. She had only come with a suspicious attitude to check things out. Zhao Qin’s scheme was as crude as a child’s prank. As soon as she arrived at the central garden, she noticed something was wrong.

She had encountered too many dangers before. If she wasn’t sharp enough and didn’t react quickly, she probably would have been treated as cannon fodder and dumped in the open sea long ago. This kind of situation was child’s play to her. After sensing something was off, Yu Miao immediately wanted to leave, but Zhao Qin still stopped her.

Usually, according to her usual style, she would only think of a way to escape. Being able to protect herself was enough, and suffering a small loss was nothing. Staying alive was the most important thing. She would try to avoid direct confrontation with Zhao Qin as much as possible.

But coming back again and seeing Zhao Qin’s smug stupid face once more, Yu Miao suddenly felt annoyed. The accumulated anger suddenly erupted.

Why did she always have to be the one to back down?

Why was her hatred considered insignificant?

She just wanted those who hurt her to pay an equal price. Why did she have to wait so many years, endure so many things, until she almost lost herself in the end?

The years of endurance from her previous life flashed before her eyes. Yu Miao finally didn’t want to endure anymore. She still had the thing given to her by the only person who loved her. She wasn’t completely without leverage.

So Yu Miao jabbed the hallucinogenic anesthetic she had brought with her into Zhao Qin’s arm. For the first time, she followed her heart, no longer considering the consequences or those schemes. She just picked up a white stone statue decoration from the edge of the nearby fountain and smashed it onto Zhao Qin’s head.

The moment the statue actually hit Zhao Qin’s head, only one thought remained in Yu Miao’s mind – it would be better to just kill him like this.

The resentment of two lifetimes finally had an outlet.

Now that she had hit him, other guests had gathered around.

Yu Miao didn’t recognize any of these people, or perhaps she had known them before but had forgotten now. But she could be certain that without exception, they were all accomplices in her victimization back then. Even up to now, these people hadn’t stopped hurting her.

Whispers arose among the crowd. Someone said, “How could this happen? Fighting people, which family’s omega is so ill-mannered?” Someone said, “Oh my god, so much blood. Should we call the police now and have her arrested?” Others questioned the source of the anesthetic she used: “How does this person have such drugs? It’s so dangerous. She doesn’t even have any background. Why aren’t the Yi family people hurrying to control this?”

The noisy voices sounded all around. Yu Miao closed her eyes, her breathing uncontrollably quickening.

Too loud.

Malice poured in from all sides without any disguise. Yu Miao stood in the center of the crowd, nakedly enduring it all. Her hand gripping the statue tightened even more, wishing the statue in her hand could split into eight pieces so she could hit each of them.

However, she was too angry to exert much strength in her hands.

Just as Yu Miao was feeling a bit dizzy, a familiar clear voice suddenly came from behind—

“Move aside!”

Yu Miao was startled.

It was Yi Jing.

…She had come, her darling.

Just like their second meeting, the young girl descended from the sky, nimbly separating her from the people who made her feel hurt. With unclear motives yet unwavering determination, she protected her.

It seemed… she didn’t have to persevere alone anymore.

Yu Miao’s hand suddenly loosened, and the statue she had been gripping tightly crashed to the ground.

The next second, a familiar force came to her arm. Yi Jing caught her, then pulled her into her embrace.

The familiar hug soothed her emotions. Perhaps due to rushing over in such a hurry, that cool embrace was mixed with a faint, lovable and reassuring scent of pheromones.

Yu Miao, whose spirit had been completely worn down by Zhao Qin and those onlookers, paused for a moment. She couldn’t help but relax her body and lean deeply into Yi Jing’s arms, completely entrusting her weight to her.

I missed you so much…

Buried in Yi Jing’s arms after being wronged, Yu Miao couldn’t help but think.

Yi Jing, who had rushed over desperately and pushed aside the people blocking her way to catch Yu Miao, was simply heartbroken.

How could she bear to see Yu Miao, who was always composed, smiled charmingly, and teased her like a puppy, looking so weak and pitiful? When she lay in her arms, she was just like a helpless little cat.

What if she had come a bit later? Wouldn’t these people have torn her lover apart?

These bastards!!

They should all die!

Someone in the crowd recognized Yi Jing and said with some dissatisfaction: “Isn’t this Miss Jing? Do you know this omega? I’m not saying, but your person is a bit out of line. How can she hit people like this?”

Yi Jing never had a good expression for people who blamed Yu Miao right away. Without thinking, she immediately said: “Get lost! Do you want to die too?”

“What…” That person stumbled back two steps in shock, staring at Yi Jing who was clearly about to lose her temper. He choked twice, not daring to speak anymore.

Such a fierce tone…

Yu Miao, lying in Yi Jing’s arms, suddenly thought of how Yi Jing was always very obedient and well-behaved in front of her.

It seemed she hadn’t heard Yi Jing use such a fierce and domineering tone to say such commanding words for quite some time.

…It was quite exciting.

Directly opposite Yi Jing, Yi Heng, who had rushed to the central garden in a hurry but still arrived a step too late, pushed through the crowd and looked at the current scene, then looked at Zhao Qin lying on the ground. Only two words were in her mind: It’s over.

Her sky had fallen too.

She had reminded and warned a thousand times, telling Yi Jing eight hundred times not to cause trouble at this time. But now there was definitely no way to avoid trouble.

After all is said and done, it’s all because of that damn Zhao Qin. Why couldn’t he just stay far away?!!!
