When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 37
The intimate moment passed as quickly as a dream.
On the night of the car accident on the riverbank in District 3 – upon receiving the news within the family, Zhao Qingru immediately sent people to search for traces of Zhao Qin. The local underworld forces in District 3 quickly found the exploded car after receiving orders, and then called the police. The entire criminal investigation team was dispatched to the riverbank to investigate the incident.
Soon after, following procedure to cooperate with the district police station’s investigation and evidence collection, the central control system of the District 3 Mechanism Department discovered a major dereliction of duty.
The main responsibility of the Mechanism Department is to monitor and maintain the normal operation of the Skynet system. The paralysis of the Skynet in the riverbank area for nearly twenty minutes went unnoticed, which could already be classified as a major dereliction of duty.
When problems arose in the operation of the political and legal system, the judicial system sprang into action. After receiving the news, the District 3 security officer immediately led people to investigate.
At the same time as the Mechanism Department was being investigated, the branch company of Rocklair Group, Western Europe’s top car enterprise, in the East Pacific territory received threats from Jing’an City’s financial groups. All personnel responsible for the data center worked overtime to urgently self-check core monitoring data, promising to give the Zhao family an explanation before dawn. Meanwhile, Zhao Qingru and Old Master Zhao, who were originally in District 13, set out for District 3.
The Zhao family and the entire District 3 were in chaos, District 13 was half in disarray, and even the Yi family could not escape unscathed.
Yu Miao felt she had barely gotten close to Yi Jing when the doorbell downstairs, which rarely rang, suddenly started making a racket, disturbing the peace.
Yi Jing: “?”
Yi Jing looked up in confusion, not sure who would be knocking at the door.
It was the weekend, and the official business of the Supervisory Institute had already been dealt with. Not many people usually came to find Yu Miao, so who could be knocking today?
Yi Jing straightened up and casually picked up the terminal she had set aside, connecting to the surveillance camera integrated with the doorbell at the entrance. She took a look and found it was actually the butler who often accompanied Old Master Yi.
What was he doing here?
This person usually only appeared when there was something important, almost like Old Master Yi’s proxy in the Yi family. Once he showed up, there was bound to be nothing good waiting for her.
While she was pondering, the other party seemed to guess that Yi Jing was watching him. The next second after the surveillance image appeared on Yi Jing’s terminal, he thoughtfully and respectfully took a step back and bowed towards the direction of the camera.
“?” Yi Jing frowned and muttered to herself, “Why is it him?”
“Who is it? Someone you know?” Yu Miao straightened up as well, looking down at Yi Jing’s terminal and asking.
The young alpha came so frequently, sometimes almost like they were living together. Many access permissions had been unknowingly shared with the young alpha.
“The old master’s butler,” Yi Jing answered with a slight frown, somewhat wary. She got up intending to go downstairs to check, muttering “I’ll go take a look, you wait here,” but before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Yu Miao.
“What’s wrong?” Yi Jing paused, looking a bit confused.
“Ah, no, nothing.” Yu Miao came to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and let go of her arm, saying softly, “Go ahead.”
Though she said that, Yu Miao’s gaze still fell on Yi Jing with some concern, her expression still hesitant.
Noticing Yu Miao’s unease, Yi Jing tilted her head slightly, thinking for a moment. She wanted to try to understand Yu Miao’s feelings, but really couldn’t figure out the reason for Yu Miao’s anxiety.
Yi Jing simply took the opportunity to comfort Yu Miao by leaning down and gently kissing her forehead, saying softly: “It’s probably nothing serious. Both chambers and District 13 have been very peaceful lately. Maybe something happened in another family and they want me to take a look.”
“…Mm, okay.” Yu Miao managed to squeeze out a slight smile, gently patting Yi Jing’s arm and saying, “Then go ahead.”
Yi Jing observed Yu Miao with some bewilderment, unable to draw any conclusions. She could only go downstairs with some confusion.
As soon as she left, the calm expression on Yu Miao’s face completely crumbled. She couldn’t help but raise her hand to clutch at her collar, frowning in frustration.
Not coming early or late, Old Master Yi’s butler suddenly appearing at this time – what other news could there be besides Zhao Qin’s car accident?
Didn’t Q say it had already been cleaned up? How did they handle things, for even the Yi family to receive news in such a short time? Doesn’t this plainly indicate that there were factors overlooked by the organization regarding Zhao Qin?
Damn it, if one thing could be overlooked, couldn’t two be overlooked as well?
Didn’t they say it had already been cleaned up thoroughly? How could they be so careless in handling things? It didn’t matter if the people in District 3 didn’t do things well, at worst they would just be wanted for a while. As long as they could escape and save their lives until their companions came to their aid, it wouldn’t be a problem. But what if her Yi Jing got implicated?
Yu Miao frowned with worry for a while, but still couldn’t resist getting up and taking a light, long coat from the sofa nearby, draping it over herself as she went downstairs to follow Yi Jing out of the room.
When she reached the living room downstairs, Yu Miao just heard the butler talking to Yi Jing about Zhao Qin’s matter. Their conversation seemed to have already progressed quite far. Yi Jing, standing at the door with one hand on the doorknob, asked calmly: “So Zhao Qin is confirmed dead?”
The butler stood outside the door without coming in, answering respectfully: “That’s correct. The news has already come back. It’s said that when Miss Zhao Qin was found at the accident scene, she had already lost her vital signs. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and was confirmed dead after an hour.
Old Master Zhao and the current head of the Zhao family have already rushed to District 3 as soon as they received the news. Now the old master has sent me to invite you to go prepare to handle this matter together.”
Find me?
Yi Jing frowned imperceptibly while holding the doorknob, but quickly came to her senses and responded casually as if nothing had happened: “Alright, let me change my clothes.”
She was still wearing the pajamas she had on while napping at Yu Miao’s place, which indeed wasn’t suitable for meeting guests and handling business.
“Very well,” the butler bowed slightly with perfect etiquette, taking a step back to indicate that Yi Jing should do as she pleased.
Behind her, Yu Miao came over with some concern and took Yi Jing’s arm, looking up at her with a slight frown of implicit rejection as she glanced at the butler.
“It’s nothing,” Yi Jing casually closed the door, feeling a bit heavy-hearted but not wanting to show it and worry Yu Miao. She sighed lightly in her heart and hugged Yu Miao, “The Zhao family just had some trouble, I need to go take a look.”
Yu Miao hesitated for two seconds, but in the end didn’t push the young alpha away. She just looked up at Yi Jing and asked: “Will they blame you?”
“Blame me? What for?” Yi Jing smiled and straightened up to look at Yu Miao, reassuring her carelessly, “This wasn’t done by me, why would they blame me? Don’t worry, those few people can’t threaten me.
The old master wanting me to go along to handle it probably just wants to make it clear that this has nothing to do with me, so they won’t think about pinning it on me. After all, we’re still relatives, it’s not good to make things too tense. I’ll go change clothes, don’t be nervous.”
“Mm…” Yu Miao responded softly, lowering her eyes and taking two small steps back. Watching Yi Jing go upstairs, she couldn’t help but reveal a slightly worried expression.
Hopefully she was overthinking things. Her young alpha shouldn’t be troubled by a few families.
Yi Jing turned and went straight to the dressing room as she headed upstairs. She still had a few sets of casual clothes at Yu Miao’s place, which would be enough to handle ordinary occasions.
Yi Jing had thought that with the change of government elections about to begin, and less than a month left until the first round of speeches for the three candidates competing for mayor, it was a time of urgent martial law throughout the city. She didn’t expect anything to happen in the short term, but unexpectedly Zhao Qin had died.
That person’s death was really untimely.
Yi Jing had just swept a few of her family’s strongholds, and it was a time when people in the family were on high alert. Now with Zhao Qin’s incident, everyone would probably think the family was being targeted, and might even think it was a threat and provocation from political enemies. They would likely investigate these two cases strictly and try to eliminate all hidden threats.
This would make it even more difficult for Yi Jing to conceal her actions. Tch, what a headache.
Originally, Yi Jing could have completely muddled through using the opportunity of the election.
Now it’s a bit troublesome.
Time was tight, she had to seize the opportunity. After this moment, she probably wouldn’t be able to contact others. While picking out clothes, Yi Jing took off the terminal on her wrist and switched its mode, changing it from a bracelet form to a Bluetooth earpiece form. She casually put it on her ear and dialed Yi Heng’s communication.
“Hello?” Yi Heng, who had finally answered the call, still had a sleepy tone as she yawned and said, “Why are you calling me so urgently at this time? Wouldn’t it be better to send a message if you have something?”
“I have something to ask you,” Yi Jing spoke while changing clothes, “To make a long story short, Zhao Qin is dead.”
“What??!” Yi Heng, who had been sleeping groggily, suddenly sprang up from the bed, “Who did you say?? What happened to Zhao Qin??!”
“Dead.”
Yi Jing answered concisely, casually pushing the mirror in Yu Miao’s dressing room to turn it away. She raised her arms to take off the nightgown she was wearing, then took out the pre-matched shirt and trousers that had been hung in the dressing room and put them on one by one.
“Oh my god, Zhao Qin is dead? Won’t the Zhao family go crazy because of this? Oh no, oh no, oh no, you just had a conflict with Zhao Qin recently. If it weren’t for you, Zhao Qin wouldn’t have been rejected by the family and sent to District 3… The Zhao family won’t blame you for this, will they?
Wait, wait, wait, my goodness, you didn’t do this, did you?! Because she coveted the person you like, you weren’t happy so you got rid of her?”
Yi Jing frowned: “Are you crazy or am I crazy?”
She had indeed always wanted to get rid of Zhao Qin to prevent her from making a comeback. But she never thought of doing it so quickly, let alone at this timing.
That idiot Zhao Qin was really unlucky, she must have offended a lot of people to die as soon as she left the family’s protection.
“Oh, oh, oh,” Yi Heng, having been scolded as she wished, finally behaved herself, “I didn’t think it would be you either, how could you do such a stupid thing.”
“But this matter is not entirely unrelated to you and me,” Yi Jing couldn’t be bothered with her inconsistent logic, and continued to state her purpose for communicating with Yi Heng,
“Not long ago, you and I just cooperated to sweep several of Xu Zaixi’s stores, and now Zhao Qin is dead. The timing is too coincidental, it will be difficult for the Yi family not to connect these two events. They may investigate afterwards, so you should clean up all the traces left by those people you used right now.”
“Clean, clean up?” Yi Heng’s voice became a bit dry as she asked with difficulty, “You’re not telling me to kill them all, are you?”
Yi Jing: “?”
Yi Jing frowned a bit puzzled and a bit disdainful: “What are you talking about? I mean you should hurry up and clean up the evidence chain, break the investigation path of the Yi family and the Zhao family. Forget it, you probably aren’t familiar with this part either. I’ll find a professional person for you, if you have any questions you don’t understand, just ask her.”
Yi Jing said, pushing the contact information of the leader of the fourth group of the Supervisory Commission to Yi Heng.
Yi Heng on the other end of the communication: “Oh, oh, oh.”
Anyway, the matter of sweeping several of Xu Zaixi’s new stores last time could be considered as a cooperation between the Supervisory Commission, herself, the Municipal Police Department and Yi Heng. The two group leaders of the fourth group of the Supervisory Commission couldn’t be kept in the dark at all, so rather than stubbornly resisting, it was better to make use of those two.
The Supervisory Commission has always been skilled at investigating cases, and because of their authority, they are also more likely to come into contact with the privileged class and are familiar with the habits of how the wealthy and powerful handle affairs. They are just right for dealing with this matter.
“I’ve sent you the person, I’ll talk to her later. I still have to go to District 3, I’m hanging up now. If this matter isn’t handled well, neither you nor I will have a good outcome.”
Yi Jing hung up after saying this, leaving Yi Heng alone on the other end of the communication wailing.
Turning around to tidy up the details of her clothes, Yi Jing let out a light sigh and stepped out of the room.
When she came out, Yu Miao was already waiting at the door. Hearing the sound of her opening the door and walking out, Yu Miao immediately looked up at her, her eyes still carrying some worry. Even the thin coat sliding off her shoulders went unnoticed, leaving her fair shoulders and a section of her arms exposed to the air.
“?” Yi Jing looked at Yu Miao’s arm with some surprise, raising her hand to pull Yu Miao’s clothes back in place. She tilted her head in confusion and asked: “Sister, are you worried about me? Hasn’t the Yi family had many incidents before? Why are you so nervous only this time?”
Of course that’s because I know how vicious the truth behind this incident is.
It was already far beyond the scope of an internal family struggle. If they really deeply investigate Zhao Qin’s case, whether it would implicate the organization’s forces in District 3 aside, just those people from the Zhao family wouldn’t let this opportunity go. They might very well use it to get revenge for that bit of old grudge and push the blame onto Yi Jing’s head.
Yu Miao couldn’t help but look at Yi Jing with worry.
Actually, characters like Yu Miao should have been hidden behind everyone else – being an inconspicuous behind-the-scenes manipulator who doesn’t come to light, quietly waiting for all the other figures on the entire dueling field to fight it out, pretending to be uninvolved while calmly seeing through all the surging undercurrents, and then appearing at the last moment to decide the winner and loser.
Yu Miao was also very clear about her own positioning, and had never even been soft on herself. Nothing could stop her from implementing her plans.
But for Yi Jing…
Anyone with a normal mind wouldn’t give up Yi Jing’s usefulness. Characters like Yi Jing, who both loved her and obviously protected her, should be the most conspicuous target in front of her and the most useful knife. As long as one still wanted to win, no one would give up such readily available help right before their eyes.
Yu Miao was no exception. She had also thought about using Yi Jing, thought about not loving her, or just treating Yi Jing like a picked up puppy, occasionally indulging herself to love a little, and then parting ways when it was time to go separate ways.
But in the end she couldn’t do it.
“Don’t get entangled with them,” Yu Miao suddenly grabbed Yi Jing’s hand, looking up into Yi Jing’s eyes and saying, “No matter what, don’t get entangled with the Zhao family, don’t get involved in this incident. Stay away from them, come back early.”
“Ah…” Yi Jing looked down at her held hand with some surprise. Although she indeed planned to do so, she was still a bit surprised to be suddenly emphasized by Yu Miao, “Why?”
Does Yu Miao usually pay attention to these things?
“No reason.” Yu Miao couldn’t explain, fell silent for two seconds, then lowered her eyes a bit dejectedly and said softly, “Is it not okay just because I hope so?”
Yi Jing originally felt there was nothing wrong with coming back early, and seeing Yu Miao seemingly unhappy, she suddenly had nothing to insist on. Her mouth moved faster than her brain, and without thinking she answered: “Of course it’s okay, then, then I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
“Really?” Yu Miao looked up at Yi Jing.
“Of course it’s true, I’ll do everything I promise you.” Yi Jing explained very seriously.
“So obedient, I like obedient good girls,” Yu Miao smiled lightly, the composed look returning to those gentle and beautiful eyes. Yu Miao raised her fair hand and lightly crooked her finger at Yi Jing, saying softly, “Good girl, come here.”
Yi Jing originally still couldn’t quite understand Yu Miao’s emotions, but now seeing Yu Miao like this immediately forgot her original confusion and honestly moved closer.
Yu Miao smiled, taking a small step forward and lightly kissing Yi Jing’s lips: “It’s rare for you to be so obedient. How about rewarding you with two more times when you come back?”
Yi Jing’s eyes suddenly widened, her expression bright and sparkling, looking much more interested than in anything about District 3 or Zhao Qin. She tilted her head and eagerly asked Yu Miao: “Really? Can I really?”
Yu Miao laughed lightly, not answering.
Yi Jing only saw her lean in, and then heard Yu Miao whisper something in her ear.
The voice was very low, but Yi Jing heard it clearly. Her originally fair eartip quickly turned red, her train of thought freezing on the spot. It took Yi Jing quite a while to come back to her senses, asking Yu Miao with a red face and stumbling words: “Are- are you serious? Can I really?”
Yu Miao looked at the young alpha’s suddenly clear eyes and that expectant look, and laughed lightly, gently kissing Yi Jing’s cheek: “As long as you can come back quickly, it’s true.”
“I’ll definitely come back quickly!” Yi Jing promised without thinking, then hesitated for a moment. After suppressing herself for a moment, she still couldn’t resist taking Yu Miao’s hand and hugging her, nuzzling against her and saying softly, “Sister, wait for me.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you. But you have to come back early, or the reward might become someone else’s.” Yu Miao smiled and teased Yi Jing.
“What? That won’t do!” Yi Jing’s eyes suddenly widened, her expression becoming serious. She took the terminal from her ear and restored it to its original form, muttering while poking and tapping on the light screen,
“I think I’d better cancel my itinerary with the old master. What District 3, I’m not going. What does Zhao Qin’s death have to do with me, I didn’t kill her. I don’t care if she’s dead or not, I’m not going!”
Yu Miao was stunned for two seconds. Seeing that Yi Jing was really about to contact Old Master Yi’s secretary, she hurriedly hugged Yi Jing from behind and pulled her terminal away, coaxing her very helplessly:
“Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. Don’t provoke the old master’s authority at a time like this. If he wants you to go, just check in and then come back. Come back quickly, and let’s both keep a low profile for a while, okay?”
“But you said there were others.” Yi Jing stopped her actions, turning her face away unhappily and saying softly, with a face full of ‘I’m not happy’.
“Where are there others? There are no others. Hmm?” Yu Miao coaxed helplessly, reaching out to hold Yi Jing’s hand hanging by her side, gently squeezing Yi Jing’s fingertips.
The ambiguous temperature and intimate touch brought a small electric current, flashing rapidly from the fingertips all the way into the heart. Yi Jing barely suppressed the corners of her mouth, holding back her originally unhappy expression. She thought for a moment, then tentatively pushed her luck: “Then kiss me.”
“…?” Yu Miao raised an eyebrow slightly, “You still need a kiss to agree?”
“? Isn’t that exactly what should happen?” Yi Jing got a bit anxious, taking two steps towards Yu Miao, “You were the one who said very bullying things to me first and made me so angry, shouldn’t you kiss me? Am I not your favorite anymore?”
Am I not the most obedient puppy anymore?!
“Alright, alright!” Yu Miao suppressed a bit of laughter, helplessly compromising. She moved closer, gently pushing Yi Jing down the steps with controlled force, standing on the steps above and kissing Yi Jing’s lips, saying softly between kisses, “I really can’t do anything with you.”
When Yu Miao had a mind to flirt, Yi Jing simply couldn’t resist. As they kissed, Yi Jing’s hands couldn’t help but fall to Yu Miao’s waist, murmuring softly while kissing: “In the past, I would always get rewards when I did well…”
“Hmm?” Yu Miao didn’t quite understand her meaning, “What’s wrong?”
“You just said very bullying things to me, so can I… punish you once too?” Yi Jing’s hand on Yu Miao’s waist moved slightly downward, her fingertips brushing over Yu Miao’s lower abdomen. She swallowed lightly and asked suggestively.
Yu Miao’s breathing also became a bit heated under her gaze.
Yi Jing’s fingers were long and strong, her knuckles well-proportioned, looking very beautiful. The temperature from her fingertips fell on that somewhat ambiguous position through the thin nightgown, causing her to also have a bit of a reaction involuntarily.
“What do you want to do?” Yu Miao looked down at Yi Jing from her higher position.
Yi Jing’s fingertips continued downward, stopping at a position approaching the dangerous boundary. With somewhat rapid breathing, she said softly: “Just a little bit, can I?”
Yu Miao looked at Yi Jing’s cautious demeanor, as if he wanted to do something more daring but was being extremely careful. She couldn’t help but feel the urge to indulge this little puppy. Deliberately leaning in, she gently blew a breath on Yi Jing’s ear, her voice soft and alluring as she whispered, “It’s okay, you know. You’re such a good boy, so obedient. Would you like to hear me say something else? I can tell you if you want.”
