When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 38.2

Her identity was already sensitive, and as a junior, it wasn’t easy for her to speak in front of the elders of both families. She might as well first meet with several people from the Third District Police Station and judicial system, to understand the current investigation progress on both sides, and incidentally meet with the technical personnel from the organ handling department. Only after fully understanding all the information grasped by the police station did she rush to the private hospital controlled by the local bigwigs of the Third District.

This hospital was built very beautifully, with both the garden and the outpatient building and inpatient building constructed with great style.

These local bigwigs in the Third District might not have high status, but they were quite willing to spend money on aesthetics. At any rate, when Yi Jing strode into the spacious inpatient building lobby and heard the crisp footsteps of herself and her few subordinates, she sincerely felt that the quality of the floor tiles was not bad, the sound was very pleasant.

However, even so, it was useless. It’s said that as soon as the incident occurred, the chairman of the board of directors of the leading enterprise responsible for business in the Third District had already rushed to the hospital to repent to old Mr. Zhao. However, the effect was not great. The Zhao family was still furious. At this moment, not only were the district police station people in action, but even the unsavory, underworld forces of the Third District were also moving.

Turning a corner and taking the mirror-like elevator up to the ninth floor, Yi Jing finally saw the Zhao family people in the hospital.

Now this place had been completely sealed off by the Zhao family. It’s said that even the district police station people couldn’t get in. Starting from the elevator exit, the entire ninth floor had already been completely guarded by silent bodyguards wearing black suits and sunglasses, ready to keep a close eye on anyone who stepped into the ninth floor area.

Yi Jing stood at the slowly opening elevator door. As soon as she appeared, she felt that the gazes from in front of the elevator door and around the corner didn’t seem friendly.

The dozen or so people within sight all looked over at once. Just the gazes alone were already quite pressuring, not to mention the subtly emanating repulsive aura with a hint of killing intent from these people. If it wasn’t Yi Jing standing here now, they might really have been intimidated.

But the one standing here now was Yi Jing.

No matter how unfriendly these people were, under her light brown coat she was wearing the near-black, deep black uniform of a security officer. The silver judicial system insignia and shoulder boards, chest badges, as well as the silver collar clips on her collar were clearly visible. Her aura was simply not something a few bodyguards could compare to.

— She wasn’t here to bicker with these people. There were other matters that deserved her attention.

“Miss Jing, you’ve arrived. Please come this way.” An assistant from the Yi family saw Yi Jing arrive with the Yi family people and appeared a second before the atmosphere could become tense, dissolving the subtle hostility.

“Alright.”

Yi Jing nonchalantly put both hands in her coat pockets and followed the assistant in the direction they indicated.

As they walked, the assistant quietly informed her: “Now Miss Zhao Qin has been confirmed to have no vital signs. Originally, we should be considering funeral matters, but old Mr. Zhao doesn’t allow the body to be prepared for burial. He insists on having the involved agencies give an explanation first. So now the body is still on the ninth floor, and old Mr. Zhao is still at an impasse with our old master and Mr. Yi.”

“Mm.” Yi Jing responded lightly, appearing not to care much, but her brain was already rapidly processing the information.

Unwillingness to consider funeral matters meant that the Zhao family had no intention of letting this matter go, and they had even locked horns with old Mr. Yi. So they were still suspecting her.

It was a bit difficult to handle, but it also suited her purposes.

The rest area where the big shots and elders were staying was soon reached. Still in the style of assistants staying in the outermost area, Yi Jing passed through two more doors before truly seeing the Yi and Zhao family members discussing matters in the same room.

Even Yi Sheng didn’t have the qualification to sit down here. Everyone except old Mr. Yi and old Mr. Zhao was standing, let alone Yi Jing.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit tense. Yi Jing pretended not to notice, greeted the elders, and then spoke about what he had done:

“I’m also very upset about what happened to my cousin, but this incident was really beyond my expectations. I’ve just been to the Supervisory Bureau, District Police Station, and Agency Office. All units are taking this case very seriously, and I believe there will be results on my cousin’s case soon.”

Quick results meant no results.

Yi Jing thought to himself while saying perfunctory pleasantries.

He had already gone to see the person the Yi family had arranged at the Agency Office. The person explicitly said that the Sky Eye system had indeed been tampered with, but the intruder didn’t try to hide it. From the beginning, they used interference technology rather than intrusion technology, openly setting up interference sources to continuously interfere with some of the Sky Eye system’s interfaces for about 20 minutes before leaving a real address and fleeing, without even trying to cover their tracks.

That place was known for being a hacker hotspot. Even if they applied for cross-district operations now and directly raided the place, they wouldn’t be able to figure out who did it. Moreover, with this much time, the real culprit would have definitely fled by now. If someone was assisting them, it would be even more hopeless. The trail was completely cold, and there was no way to investigate.

At the time, Yi Jing asked him how many people he had told this to, and the person replied: “I haven’t told anyone. Sky Eye is only checked once a week, and that day wasn’t supposed to be a check day. Why would I bring trouble on myself when I didn’t do anything?”

People with skills really are a bit arrogant.

Then Yi Jing said to him: “Since you didn’t say anything at first, there’s no need to say anything later. This part of the information isn’t really decisive. Just stay at the Supervisory Bureau for a couple days honestly, consider it a vacation.”

Yi Jing would never give this kind of information to the Zhao family.

The police station might not be able to find anything on the Zhao family, but that doesn’t mean they can’t find anything. Those people’s hands aren’t clean either.

From the beginning, Yi Jing never intended to actually find a culprit to give to the Zhao family. Naturally, he wouldn’t release information that would allow the Zhao family to hunt down the people who interfered with Sky Eye.

The Zhao Qin matter was destined to not be easily resolved.

Perhaps in the end, the people involved in this power struggle would forget about the initial incident that started everything, and only remember what came after.

“You have the nerve to come here!”

Just as Yi Jing was speaking, a gentle-looking woman who seemed to be an elder suddenly pounced out from behind Old Master Zhao’s sofa.

The woman’s expression was fierce, and from her demeanor she seemed to hate Yi Jing very much. Yet she was frail, and after taking just two steps she was crying so hard she nearly fell. It was the Zhao family head, Zhao Qingru, who appeared to support the woman, softly persuading her: “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don’t be like this.”

The woman seemed not to hear at all. Leaning weakly in Zhao Qingru’s arms, she cried out to Yi Jing with red-rimmed eyes: “If it weren’t for you, how would my little Qin have come to District 3! How could she have died!”

Yi Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at the fragile madam, thinking to himself that now she knew to care, if she cared so much why didn’t she teach her child better earlier?

Why is only your daughter’s life a life, while other omegas’ lives don’t count?

Still, I was too late.

An early death is an early lesson. It’s her good fortune that I didn’t have to take action myself. Yi Jing thought coldly, his expression indifferent as he turned his face away.

“It’s all because of you!” Seeing Yi Jing’s reaction, the madam became even more desperate, looking as if she wanted to pounce over and attack him.

“Enough! When will this end?!” The Old Master Zhao sitting to the side heavily tapped the cane in his hand. “Is this the most pressing matter to discuss right now?! The most important thing is to find the person who harmed little Qin. Is Yi Jing the one who hurt little Qin?! Why are you forcing her?”

Yi Jing’s gaze shifted, looking at Old Master Zhao with an indifferent expression.

This old man could barely hide his true thoughts anymore. Between the lines, he still felt Yi Jing was suspicious. No wonder he could argue with Old Master Yi.

On the other side, Zhao Qin’s mother who had been scolded by Old Master Zhao didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore. She started crying and sobbing. For a moment, only the madam’s cries and Zhao Qingru’s soft comforting voice could be heard in the room.

“Regarding my cousin’s matter, I truly knew nothing about it,” Yi Jing patiently stated. “With the upcoming general election, the Supervisory Bureau is responsible for nearly half of the security work during the election period. After the banquet, I had no further contact with my cousin, and was indeed completely unaware.”

“Who knows if you resented little Qin because of your own lover!”

“?”

Yi Jing frowned, hearing someone mention ‘Yu Miao’, and was about to lose his temper on the spot.

What’s wrong with resenting Zhao Qin because of Yu Miao? One after another questioning here, if they’re angry about Zhao Qin’s death, why don’t they ask themselves why they didn’t teach their juniors better earlier?

Or is this whole family just the same kind of people! Not treating Yu Miao’s life as a life at all!

Yi Xing, standing to the side, saw Yi Jing’s expression and quickly interjected: “If there were mistakes, admit them. Don’t bring up old matters. There are still many questionable points in the case now, why rush to blame our own family? Jing Jing, you go keep an eye on things outside first. The elders know it’s not you, it’s just that you’re not suitable to discuss this matter right now.”

Yi Jing’s gaze lightly swept over Zhao Qingru and the Zhao family madam, not looking at anyone else again. He lowered his eyes and softly replied: “Yes.”

But in fact, Yi Jing’s emotions weren’t really directed at the Zhao family or rather, not only at the Zhao family.

It was understandable for the Zhao family to suspect her in this matter, as she did have some personal grudges with Zhao Qin.

But these people always implied in their words that it was her fault for having conflicts with Zhao Qin in the first place, that she shouldn’t have made a big deal out of it for an omega. They repeatedly mentioned Yu Miao in that contemptuous tone, as if standing up for Yu Miao was something inappropriate that Yu Miao didn’t deserve. This really annoyed Yi Jing.

Unspoken contempt is still contempt.

Looking down on her lover is the same as looking down on her. If they look down on them, they shouldn’t expect her to respect those people.

The Yi family was the same. They kept suppressing her temper and not allowing her to stand up for Yu Miao. When weighing interests, anyone would have to compromise for the sake of the family, with right and wrong becoming secondary.

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with compromising. She never had expectations for the Yi family to begin with, and never hoped these people would truly protect her. Even when taking action, she always limited herself to making small maneuvers within the scope that her own interests and value could cover, very self-aware.

But asking her to compromise on matters concerning Yu Miao was not acceptable.

Everyone has a bottom line, and everything she did was for Yu Miao in the first place.

If she forgot her original intention, she would truly have no place in this world, and all her actions would lose meaning.

Everything else could be negotiated and weighed, but not Yu Miao. Yu Miao was her uncrossable bottom line.

Yi Jing, with a calm expression on his face but actually seething with anger inside, walked to the garden behind the hospital. He stood in a small pavilion, quietly composing himself for a moment, then dialed Qi Xiao’s communication.

“Oh? You’ve decided to contact me so quickly, have you made a decision?” Qi Xiao’s voice came from the other end of the communication. His words were flippant, but his tone wasn’t very relaxed, as if he knew Yi Jing’s decision was very important.

“Mm,” Yi Jing made a soft sound of agreement, his gaze turning towards the direction of the 9th floor of the hospital building. His hand in his pocket was clenched tightly. “I’ve considered it, and it’s best if Zhao Qin’s case doesn’t have a result.”

“Hm? What do you mean?” Qi Xiao spoke with some concern on the other end of the communication. “You know this is causing trouble for yourself, right? Originally this matter had clear grudges and had nothing to do with you, but if you insist on getting involved, you’ll be targeted along with it.”

“I know,” Yi Jing said in a flat tone, still staring in the direction of the 9th floor. “But if I don’t do this, how can I get involved between the forces of these two families? If the Zhao family doesn’t target me, what reason would I have to suppress them? If I don’t do it once, twice, when would I wait until? Might as well give up now and honestly be a puppet security officer.”

Her initial methods and thoughts were too soft.

Wanting to compete in this kind of family was inherently a matter of life and death. No one could remain uninvolved.

Qi Xiao on the other end of the communication was silent for a moment, then spoke in a solemn tone: “I understand. I’ll help you. Remember to be careful and don’t die. We agreed to fight to the very end back then.”

Yi Jing: “.Got it.”

28 days before the general election countdown, the first week of citywide martial law, less than 12 hours after Zhao Qin’s car accident – dozens of kilometers of police cordons were set up along the river at the border of District 3. The police lights had been on all night without going out. The District 3 police chief had squatted by the river all night to avoid urgent calls from his superiors.

“How’s it going now?” The police chief lit a cigarette and asked the criminal investigation team leader standing beside him, looking a bit tired.

The team leader was also worried, his brows tightly furrowed as he looked concernedly at the car stopped by the riverside: “The person is almost blown to pieces. We can even find body tissues along the riverbank, yet we can’t detect any extra biological information at all. It’s frighteningly clean.

We’ve also checked the personal belongings. We can basically find everything else, but the core components of the personal terminal are missing. We don’t know if they were blown into the river, so we’ll have to wait for further salvage operations.”

“Have you done trace examinations?” the police chief asked again.

“Just sent it over, but from what I saw, at least in terms of traces, it doesn’t look man-made. The damage patterns on the remaining evidence clearly show fracture traces produced after multiple heavy impacts, consistent with the explosion scene conditions,” the team leader replied.

“That’s why it’s abnormal,” the police chief took another drag on his cigarette and muttered softly.

“Yes, Master, this is too abnormal.” The team leader glanced at the police chief, hesitating before asking in a low voice, “So, should we continue investigating?”

“What do you want to say?” The police chief glanced sideways at the team leader.

The team leader looked again in the direction of the crime scene, moved closer to the police chief, and said in a lowered voice: “Master, the situation at the scene is too strange. So many high-tech professional equipment can’t detect any traces, not even traces of the victim themselves. How is that possible?

Under normal circumstances, anything that has been used will have wear marks. All contact behaviors can be reconstructed and visualized under particle imaging equipment. But we can’t find any information about a second person in this car at all. This is completely unreasonable, clearly there were professionals who thoroughly cleaned up after the action. But what do you think, can we really say this conclusion out loud?”

The police chief took a drag on his cigarette without speaking, his brows furrowing even more. His face, tired from staying up all night, made his already sharp gaze even more fierce. His scrutinizing gaze swept back and forth like a knife among the busy police officers at the crime scene.

“Master, we have too little evidence in our hands now. These people clearly aren’t doing this for the first time. Their level of professionalism is almost comparable to our team. Where would an ordinary murder case have this level of skill? You also know where the person who had the accident came from. It’s still unknown who exactly took action!

If we really tell the higher-ups that this case is suspicious, but can’t give any results in the end, how can we explain to everyone? Isn’t that just asking for trouble? Are you really sure this is a case that needs to be solved?” The team leader also glanced in the direction of the crime scene, saying anxiously in a low voice.

The police chief narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled, not answering the team leader’s question, but instead said something else: “Do you know how many people called me just last night?”

“Huh?” The team leader was stunned.

“Many people, too many. The judicial system, the political and legal system, the public security system, many people you normally can’t see or provoke,” the police chief patted the team leader’s shoulder. “The waters here are indeed too deep. No matter who did this, it shouldn’t be us who expose it. The price is not something you and I can bear.”

After saying this, without waiting for the stunned team leader to react, the police chief with a gloomy expression turned and left the riverside.

More than ten hours had passed since receiving news of Zhao Qin’s cliff fall, and Yu Miao, who remained at the Yi family manor, still had not received any news from Yi Jing.

She was very worried about the little alpha.

She didn’t know how the situation was over there, whether the little alpha was busy now, whether those old bastards from the Yi and Zhao families were really giving her a hard time.

Yu Miao bit her lip, unable to calm down after all. She simply got up and went to contact people in the organization.

Q’s voice seemed naturally cold and detached. Combined with the distortion of tone by the special encryption channel module hidden on the terminal, the words that reached the ears sounded somewhat like an interrogation: “Didn’t you say you’re in the Yi family now and it’s inconvenient to talk much with me?”

“Didn’t you also say that all traces related to you have been cleaned up?” Yu Miao coldly replied.

“It’s already been swept clean,” Q said flatly, as if not noticing Yu Miao’s dissatisfaction. “It’s impossible to completely fool everyone. Those so-called police officers will investigate no matter what. Rather than being on strict guard, it’s better to leave them some clues that seem verifiable but ultimately lead to no results to divert their attention, and use this time to let the people in the organization quickly withdraw.”

Yu Miao closed her eyes and took a light breath.

Because she didn’t want to fully reveal her own situation, Yu Miao barely held back that quietly burning anger, and indirectly inquired about Yi Jing’s news: “So how is it in District 3 now?”

“The situation is still okay, we’re monitoring it,” Q seemed to be checking something, with the sound of keyboard typing coming from the other end of the communication. “From what we can see, the Zhao family is at a complete loss regarding this case and hasn’t taken any action yet, only trying to investigate in sync with the district police station. The officials from the judicial and public security systems are even more lax. That little bit of investigation is even less than before. Really? I said they’re not fit to sit in those positions.”

Yu Miao could tell what was going on just from hearing her tone, and noticing Q’s half-mocking tone made her even angrier. She couldn’t help closing her eyes, trying to control her displeasure.

Don’t get angry.

This approach was all decided by her. She had already considered all the consequences and possible outcomes before Zhao Qin’s death.

This was just a small matter, nothing compared to what she and Yi Jing would face in the future. She couldn’t lose her composure, shouldn’t get angry over this.

Damn it! These people in the organization always claim to be righteous, can’t they grow a conscience?!

Do they think the judicial and public security systems are being so lax in their investigation because of whom?!

Her little alpha is taking all the blame, so naturally the pressure on the organization’s side is lessened? After indirectly receiving help from her little alpha, can’t they show a little gratitude towards her little alpha?!

Yu Miao was so angry it gave her a headache.

In order to minimize dragging Yi Jing down, and also to avoid ill-intentioned people using Yi Jing to threaten her, she rarely mentioned Yi Jing to others, and rarely emphasized Yi Jing’s role. Neither Yi Mingyu’s side nor the organization’s side knew clearly about her feelings for Yi Jing, nor did they really understand Yi Jing’s true abilities.

The only deeply scheming and unfathomable person from beginning to end was herself alone. So correspondingly, these people were less vigilant and attentive towards Yi Jing, unconsciously putting more of their energy on her. They seemed certain that if they could make her take a side, they could control Yi Jing, so they were never worried about what kind of situation Yi Jing might face.

But this was also a point that made her very unhappy.

Since they’ve used Yi Jing, they should show some gratitude!

But ultimately this wasn’t something she could say openly. She didn’t trust these people, so she wouldn’t show too much emotion towards Yi Jing in front of them.

However,  although she couldn’t show love, basic understanding should still be fine.

After all, Yi Jing now appeared to be her biggest support. She couldn’t be without Yi Jing.

“What about Yi Jing? How are the security officer and her subordinates and relatives doing?” Yu Miao asked in a flat tone.

“Her? She’s quite busy, but it’s hard to tell what she’s busy with. She’s been stationed at the investigation scene by the riverside, repeatedly meeting some irrelevant people  anyway, I can’t understand what she’s doing,” Q said flatly. “I just feel like this lover of yours isn’t so simple.”

“Stay away from her if you don’t want to be exposed,” Yu Miao said in a flat tone, with clear disgust and warning in her voice. “Don’t ruin my plans.”

“Alright, to bring down the Yi family, right?” Q answered, then asked about the previously mentioned matter of assisting comrades, her tone becoming more serious. “What do you plan to do about the comrades infiltrating the mayor’s mansion? Do you have a way?”

“I’ll consider that of course. Since I promised, I won’t lie,” Yu Miao pinched the bridge of her nose and asked, “Are you sure it’s the day after tomorrow? Give me the detailed information. How much support can you provide me from your side?”

Q: “I’ll send it to you. We don’t have many people in District 13, and the ones who really know the internal environment and security setup of the mayor’s mansion are still trapped inside and can’t be contacted. It’s very passive, otherwise we wouldn’t have to ask for your help.”

The mayor’s mansion, huh!

Yu Miao glanced at the information Q sent to her terminal, disguised under several layers of emails. She carefully looked at the personnel composition and resources that could be mobilized, and said in a low voice: “It’s enough.”

These people weren’t clear about the layout and structure of the old mayor’s mansion, but she was very clear. She was confident she could lead people in to retrieve Q’s comrades.

Q seemed a bit worried and couldn’t help confirming again: “Can you really get them all out?”

Yu Miao could probably guess that if she couldn’t do it either, the organization would definitely take action. Right now, some people just didn’t want to give up and still wanted to rescue their comrades.

As for her, she was a bit unscrupulous, but for now she didn’t want to become someone who disregarded human lives.

“Stop nagging, I can save them,” Yu Miao frowned and said in a low voice.

Support
