When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 41

Just as Yi Jing was anxiously trying to confirm Yu Miao’s location, Yu Miao had already quietly arrived outside the mayor’s mansion.

In the depths of the mayor’s back garden, there was a small door specifically opened for servants to enter and exit, used to prevent hotel staff from directly encountering guests while working. This was originally just a basic facility, but now many people who shouldn’t be there had appeared outside that small door.

A special vehicle disguised as a private car slowly came to a stop. Yu Miao, wrapped in a light-colored long coat that concealed her slender figure and wearing a hat to cover herself thoroughly, got out of the car carrying a handbag.

Not far in front of her was a seven-seater commercial vehicle that looked unremarkable, barely passing muster among the luxury cars and official vehicles.

As expected, that car likely contained her action partners for tonight.

The car that had brought her here completed its task and prepared to leave, turning on its indicator.

Yu Miao glanced at the commercial vehicle stopped a short distance ahead, and with a calm expression, pressed the terminal that had transformed into an earpiece and asked, “Is that your companion?”

“Yes,” Q’s voice came through the earpiece, “I can see their location on this end, very close to you.”

“Alright.” Yu Miao responded and lowered her hand, casually saying, “Since you’ve already come, remember to hide yourself well. The scrutiny in the core area is different from those places you used to hide before, be careful not to expose yourself.”

Q replied in a low voice: “Understood.”

The reason she said this was because Yu Miao had met with Q not long ago or rather, had just met with Q before coming here.

That was also an indispensable part of the cooperation. If she was going to wade into the murky waters of Jing’an City for the organization’s sake, then the organization wanting to do the same thing couldn’t hide anything from her either.

Meeting was a risk for both of them, and sharing that risk meant they trusted each other.

She offered quite a high level of sincerity and action, willing to help the organization retrieve their personnel trapped in the mayor’s mansion. Q was the connection and equivalent ‘sincerity’ extended by the organization to put each other at ease.

Hasty cooperative relationships were troublesome like this, always requiring some price to be paid as the cost of cooperation.

Yu Miao lightly stroked the small travel bag in her hand and lifted her foot to walk towards the commercial vehicle.

On the other side, in the seven-seater commercial vehicle, the personnel assigned by Q to rescue their trapped comrades in the old mayor’s house along with Yu Miao had all arrived and were looking towards the brightly lit mayor’s mansion through the specially treated glass.

There were four people in total, and they had been waiting here for about five minutes.

To avoid drawing attention, this small team had deliberately streamlined its composition. However, counting Q who was remotely monitoring and prepared to handle emergencies, along with numerous backup support teams, the number of this team could be somewhat larger.

“Will the person the team leader mentioned come?” The young girl sitting in the front passenger seat lifted the baseball cap on her head slightly, revealing a youthful face with a hint of childishness. She frowned, looking worriedly towards the mayor’s mansion.

She was responsible for providing support in this operation, and because she had to safely pick up her comrades, she couldn’t help but worry a bit more.

“Probably.” The person in the driver’s seat turned their head slightly, seeming to see something in the rearview mirror, and thoughtfully tapped the steering wheel, saying,

“They should come, right? Although we’re not sure of their identity, isn’t this part of the ‘cooperation’? That person should also have objectives they must accomplish, so even if just for the sake of cooperation, they’ll come.”

Before the operation began, Q had already explained the situation to her comrades. They didn’t have detailed information about the mayor’s mansion, and this part required outside help. Without assistance, it would be very difficult to rescue their comrades.

But regarding the person who could help the organization, team leader Q hadn’t said much, only cautioning that the person’s identity was unusual, and to be mindful of their words when cooperating with them, not asking too many questions.

The young girl was still a bit worried and couldn’t help but frown as she said, “But this operation is completely different from before. If we’re not careful, you all might also…”

‘Knock knock’

Just as the rescue team was secretly worrying whether Yu Miao would come, a crisp sound of knuckles lightly tapping on the car window suddenly rang out.

The other three people in the car were startled and immediately turned to look outside, their hands instinctively moving to the weapons hidden at their waists: “Who’s there?”

“Ah.” The somewhat airheaded young person in the driver’s seat quietly spoke up, “I think it’s the person the team leader mentioned.”

The others: “Huh?”

When did ?

No, why didn’t you say so earlier?!

The woman sitting by the door closest to Yu Miao released her grip on her weapon, and the person in the driver’s seat unlocked the door.

The door that had been blocking their view slowly opened, and a woman wrapped up tightly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Am I disturbing you?” The woman unhurriedly opened her mouth, her voice very pleasant. Beneath large sunglasses, half of a face with smooth lines and clear, gentle contours was revealed. Her lips were deep red and moist, beautiful enough to startle one even at a quick glance.

The people in the car were all stunned for a moment, but the woman didn’t seem to be waiting for their response.

Although her tone was questioning when she spoke, the woman didn’t seem to care about the answer—it was just a formality, whether she was disturbing or not didn’t really matter.

Even if she was disturbing, what could be done about it?

“I’m the person you’ve been waiting for. You’re all clear on the previously agreed plan, right?”

Using a simple question as a greeting, Yu Miao directly skipped over irrelevant small talk and mutual introductions. Her expression and tone revealed a hint of coldness and indifference towards others, slightly aloof yet frank and efficient.

As she spoke, she took off the hat on her head, and her smooth long hair slid down to rest on her shoulders. That excessively beautiful face appeared more clearly in everyone else’s view:

“The first step is to replace the identities of those hotel staff who have already entered the estate and passed the initial checks, who answer to you but don’t have the ability to carry out rescue operations, and use this to infiltrate the estate. The second step is to find the control center of the mayor’s mansion’s security system, gain control of it, and thereby infiltrate the security system to ensure the safety of the operation. The third step is to sneak into where the mayor is holding your personnel, get them out, and then safely evacuate them from the mayor’s mansion. Any questions?”

Yu Miao said this, lightly raising her eyes to look at the people in the car.

“Uh, there’s no problem.” The short-haired woman sitting in the back of the second row looked at Yu Miao with great admiration and mumbled, “But are you going to enter the mayor’s mansion like this? Won’t it be too eye-catching?”

Yu Miao glanced at that woman. According to the information provided by Q, there were two people who would be entering the mayor’s mansion with her. One was more skilled at infiltration with excellent combat skills and could take on the rescue mission. The other was more of a technical expert proficient in explosives and network information technology, responsible for manning the security system control center after initially entering the mayor’s mansion, monitoring the situation inside, and destroying evidence if necessary.

The woman closer to her clearly had a more composed demeanor, likely the one responsible for the rescue. So the one who spoke up was probably the explosives expert.

Casting a fleeting glance that was carelessly withdrawn, Yu Miao lowered her eyes and removed her sunglasses, raising her hand to gather her long hair: “Of course not, there will be basic disguises, and also…”

Explosives expert: “…”

Actually, she felt that even with a disguise, this person would still be too strikingly beautiful.

Still easy to notice.

Yu Miao gathered her hair and then took off the coat that concealed her body’s contours, revealing underneath an identical hotel staff uniform dress to the ones worn by those around her.

Hmm, this looks good too.

What a great figure.

The short-haired woman thought as she looked over Yu Miao who had quickly changed her appearance.

Yu Miao was still adjusting her appearance. Her movements looked very casual but were actually quite precise, efficiently using makeup remover wipes to wipe away the makeup on her face without any waste.

Yu Miao raised her eyes to look at the people in the car: “This is the blind spot of the Skynet system, right? What’s the agreed time?”

“Um…” The young girl in the front finally shifted her gaze from Yu Miao’s face and turned to look at the time displayed on the modified car’s operating system, “Twenty minutes left. They promised to come out to exchange identities with us in twenty minutes, during their first and only opportunity to go out for drinks.”

“Twenty minutes?” Yu Miao frowned slightly and lowered her head in thought, then turned to look towards the mayor’s mansion, “The people planted among the hotel staff can’t send out messages anymore, right?”

The young girl was startled: “How did you know?”

They indeed hadn’t received any contact from those people for a long time.

“If I didn’t know anything, why would I appear here? Let’s act quickly, the vigilance in blind spots won’t be too lax during this period.

We’re not in communication with the inside of the mayor’s mansion now. To avoid missing our only chance, we should move closer to observe and prepare for the handoff.” Yu Miao said.

The others had no objections and quickly took action.

The so-called Skynet blind spot actually refers to locations within the city-wide risk control system that aren’t covered by cameras. Most of the time, such corners don’t exist in cities, but there are occasionally some exceptions.

For example, the private residences of the wealthy and powerful.

To avoid certain private residences, the placement of cameras definitely needs to be specially designed, and the appearance of some blind spots is inevitable.

However, correspondingly, the owners of these mansions will certainly pay extra attention to these blind spot areas. The security system of the mayor’s private residence, as the highest administrative official in Jing’an City, is very high-level and will be especially strengthened during the banquet. They will repeatedly verify the identities of the preparation team before the banquet officially begins, leaving almost no possibility of infiltrating in advance.

Fortunately, Q’s organization has many inconspicuous nobodies as members, and this time several regular staff members in the team chosen by the mayor for his retirement banquet happened to be from the organization.

Upon learning this news, Q immediately asked those people with official identities to help pass the initial few checks, and deliberately leave a mistake while setting up the banquet, so they could use the excuse of going out to exchange identities with Yu Miao and the others in this Skynet blind spot before the banquet starts, helping Yu Miao and her team infiltrate the mayor’s mansion.

This way, the initial few checks could be avoided, and later on, the government would lack evidence to accuse the organization’s undercover members due to the lack of cameras in the Skynet blind spot, ensuring everyone’s safety as much as possible.

However, now that communication between the inside and outside of the mayor’s mansion was cut off, the internal personnel about to exchange identities with Yu Miao and her team couldn’t send a signal in advance. They could only wait as discreetly as possible.

One minute, two minutes? As the organization members repeatedly checked their equipment, time flew by rapidly, with only one minute left until the agreed time.

Just as the atmosphere in the car was becoming increasingly tense, the few young people dressed as waiters who had agreed to meet finally appeared, hurriedly pushing a metal cart almost as tall as a person and running over with quick small steps and panicked expressions.

There were exactly three of them, corresponding to Yu Miao, the explosives expert, and the low-key woman with good combat skills.

The clothes had already been changed before arriving here. Yu Miao and the other two quickly got out of the car to replace the undercover waiters. The bag Yu Miao had been carrying was tossed into the cart and carefully hidden by her under the ice layer.

“When you go in, remember to go to the banquet preparation team first,” just before the three undercover waiters got into the car, the youngest-looking girl among the three suddenly called out to Yu Miao and the others,

“The preparation team’s location is right next to the main banquet hall. That’s where the wine and desserts that are about to be sent to the banquet hall are kept. We only had the chance to run out because they were short on wine there. If the shortage isn’t immediately filled, the deputy team leader will notice right away.

Don’t worry, there’s not enough room in the preparation area for all the wine in the transport cart. You can take the opportunity to act while taking the extra wine to the kitchen.”

“Understood.” Yu Miao, the only one who knew where the banquet hall was, nodded and led the other two towards the mayor’s mansion.

Passing through the Skynet blind spot and walking along a section of gravel path, they came to the small door specifically opened for servants to enter and exit the mayor’s mansion.

The scanning area of the security system was right in front of them. The three hurriedly swiped the pre-forged identity cards in their hands before the security system could identify visitors.

These identity cards were prepared by Q, with names and information consistent with the undercover waiters, but the biometric information had been changed to Yu Miao and her team’s, able to cope with the security system’s monitoring after entering the mansion.

Verification successful, signal matched, the new biometric information overrode the old information in the security system. Red visible laser light scanned over the body of the explosives expert, who had stepped forward first to try.

The green light lit up, verification passed.

Yu Miao let out an imperceptible sigh of relief and passed through the scan along with her temporary partners, stepping onto the most secluded path in the back garden of the mayor’s mansion.

“Oh!, so we have to go through here?” The explosives expert looked at the flowering trees around them, then at the banquet hall in the distance, which had such a strong presence it couldn’t be ignored, surrounded by a circle of luxurious decorations, “So where’s the preparation team?”

“This way.” Yu Miao used the metal cart to conceal her figure and led the other two towards the villa.

Half a building away, the atmosphere in the banquet hall next to the swimming pool remained elegant and relaxed. Colleagues from different departments attended openly wearing formal attire or dresses similar to uniforms.

At least at this moment, the image of all the staff in attendance appeared very proper, dignified and beautiful.

Well-dressed figures came and went in view, with some colleagues raising their glasses to Yi Jing from afar, but Yi Jing now had no attention to spare for that.

All of her thoughts were on those indescribable plot points in her memory.

It was too much, she absolutely couldn’t let that kind of thing happen. She had to confirm Yu Miao’s location as soon as possible.

As anxious emotions surged up, Yi Jing realized she was on the verge of losing composure and immediately took a small breath, barely steadying herself. She comforted herself that perhaps she was getting nervous too early.

Now that the plot had changed so much, with Zhao Qin already dead, the character in the original work who brought Yu Miao to this banquet called Lei something, now also had no chance to make a move on Yu Miao. Yu Miao might not necessarily appear at the banquet.

Yi Jing secretly adjusted her emotions and first sent a message to Qi Xiao: ‘The situation in the Third District isn’t that simple. I’m afraid we’re about to catch something hidden beneath the surface. Don’t startle the snake in the grass yet, let’s see how things develop before deciding.’

Qi Xiao was probably still waiting for news and quickly replied after seeing Yi Jing’s message: ‘OK’

Yi Jing looked at that line of dialogue and silently exited the screen.

So, next is the terminal’s contact interface switched back to the contact list. Yi Jing’s finger hovered for a moment, pausing on the ‘Sister’ option, but ultimately slid down a bit further, finding the very useful and always available Yi Heng.

Once again summoned, Yi Heng was also helpless: [What is it now, my dear sister? Shouldn’t you be attending the banquet right now? How do you still have time to give me a task?]

Yi Jing frowned and replied: [Aren’t you supposed to be my cousin?]

But now was not the time to dwell on that. Yi Jing hesitated for a moment, then sent a direct message: [Go check if Yu Miao is in the manor for me]

[?] Yi Heng replied quickly, [What, am I now managing your little couple’s affairs too? And the house is so big, how would I know where she went? Should I search the entire manor?]

Without thinking, Yi Jing said: [No need for everywhere, she usually doesn’t wander around. Just check where the two of us live. The old master and eldest aunt aren’t here now. As long as you confirm Yi Mingyue and Yi Xuan haven’t looked for her, she’s probably not in the manor.]

Yi Heng: [Should I just barge in and look?]

Yi Jing was very anxious, too worried to bother coming up with excuses for Yi Heng, and said directly: [It doesn’t matter what excuse you use, make up whatever you want, just confirm if she’s there or not.]

Sensing Yi Jing’s unusual tone, Yi Heng became serious and replied properly: [Understood, I’ll go right away, don’t worry]

At the banquet, Yi Jing looked at their conversation record, not feeling very reassured.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Yi Heng, she was just worried about Yu Miao. Any small mistake could lead to Yu Miao getting hurt, and she absolutely did not want Yu Miao to be harmed, not even a little bit.

If Yu Miao got hurt, she would feel even worse than Yu Miao.

Time ticked by slowly, as if the speed had been turned down.

The Yi family manor was so big, it wasn’t easy to find one person. Yi Jing anxiously waited, hoping for news from Yi Heng while absentmindedly dealing with everything at the banquet. Finally, after more than twenty minutes, Yi Heng’s call came through, and Yi Jing finally snapped back to attention.

“Is there some urgent matter that you’re looking for Yu Miao? I asked around, Yi Mingyue and Yi Xuan aren’t here today. One went out for a gathering, the other is hanging out with those Lei and Xie people as usual. Don’t worry, Yi Xuan won’t do anything to your omega, she has her own girlfriend and would definitely get dumped if she messed around. Yi Mingyue never likes to get involved in her sisters’ affairs, so your fiancée should be safe, but it seems she’s really not in the manor.”

Yi Jing’s breath caught.

“Are you sure she’s not there? Is there any record of Yu Miao leaving at the dispatch station?” After a long while, Yi Jing finally heard herself ask in an oddly calm tone.

“No,” Yi Heng said on the other end, her voice fluctuating as if she was still looking something up, “Not for the past two days. I checked the records starting from the day you left District 13.”

“I see.” Yi Jing hung up the phone.

So it was a private trip after all.

Yi Jing’s fingers clenched slightly, telling herself over and over to stay calm. It was just a trip she didn’t want others to know about, it didn’t necessarily mean she was avoiding her. Maybe it was to hide from the Yi family?

After all, before she left, Yu Miao had told her to come back early. Maybe something urgent came up that she had to do?

The most important thing now was to confirm Yu Miao’s safety. She might not have come to this banquet at all, she could be somewhere else.

Yi Heng just said Yi Mingyue and Yi Xuan and those rich kids all had things to do today, so the number of people who could threaten Yu Miao was greatly reduced. Even if Yu Miao had something to do, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.

But, what if Yu Miao did come to this banquet?

Yi Jing looked up at the rooms above the banquet hall, where the mayor had arranged for those officials who would join his faction and continue to control some key affairs after he stepped down to stay. A wave of nausea rose in her stomach.

It was those rooms, the ones described in the original story.

Yi Jing clenched her jaw imperceptibly and lowered her eyes to send Yi Heng a message: [Keep an eye out, let me know immediately if Yu Miao returns]

Even if Yu Miao might not be there, she had to go check. She couldn’t miss any possibility.

Those plot points from the original story, she wouldn’t let them happen to Yu Miao again.

Yi Jing pressed her lips together and put down her wine glass. Her previously anxious expression turned cold as she glanced towards the upper floors in the distance and walked straight over.

She had to see what kind of delinquents were attending this banquet after the plot had changed!

Yi Jing walked directly towards that area, her expression stern.

The mayor’s banquet hall was not small. On the first floor, besides the main hall, the other rooms were temporarily closed for use, completely handed over to the banquet planning team for preparations.

Except for a few small meeting rooms that could be used for temporary private meetings, all the rest rooms were on the second floor. To get to the second floor, one had to pass through the corridor on the first floor.

Yi Jing walked with her eyes fixed straight ahead, her mind full of the despicable scenes she had read before, just wanting to immediately deal with all those bastards who might appear at the banquet.

Meanwhile, Yu Miao and her group, who had brought in the drinks supplied by the organization’s people planted in the hotel, successfully snuck into the preparatory team’s position and were stacking the drinks into the temperature-controlled cabinet right under the nose of the preparatory team leader.

It looked very busy here, with people coming and going frequently. The preparatory team leader couldn’t spare attention for the three of them, directing the waiters under him while shouting into the internal communicator: “Hurry up, we’re still short three desserts here. Why are you so unprofessional? Do you want to make the mayor lose face and get angry, causing our hotel to go bankrupt?”

Yu Miao lowered her head slightly, avoiding the preparatory team leader’s gaze, and sped up her drink stacking, working silently.

“And you three!” The preparatory team leader’s gaze turned, fixing on the three people by the wine cabinet. “The preparatory team is short-handed right now, you three come help out too!”

“But we…” The demolitions expert raised her head to reply, wanting to say they were from the back kitchen, but before she could finish, she was stopped by Yu Miao who was crouching by the wine cabinet.

Yu Miao, trying hard to hide her face to avoid being recognized, shook her head slightly at her, silently mouthing something.

The demolitions expert was stunned for a moment, then realizing Yu Miao’s meaning, immediately changed her demeanor, lowered her head and said obediently: “Alright, we’ll come after we finish stacking the wine.”

The three quickly filled the preparatory team’s refrigerator and received a task from the deputy leader to go to the kitchen to fetch new desserts and bring them to the banquet hall.

“Why didn’t you let me speak just now?” As they walked out of the preparatory team’s room, the demolitions expert lightly brushed her hair, letting the strands better cover her cheeks, while walking and asking Yu Miao in a low voice.

“Our goal right now is to find a way to slip away,” Yu Miao replied in a low voice, looking straight ahead as if not talking to anyone, “Attracting as little attention as possible is the first principle. Temporarily agreeing to her won’t affect our goal of slipping away, there’s no need to argue about it.”

“So are we really going to serve those desserts?” The demolitions expert frowned and asked a bit irritably.

“Of course not.” Yu Miao couldn’t be bothered to say much to this infiltration novice. She raised her hand and pushed her into a nearby restroom – this was a restroom they had passed on their way in. To avoid exposure, Yu Miao had thrown the bag hidden in the cart into this restroom.

Yu Miao pushed the demolitions expert into the restroom with one hand while holding the restroom door with the other: “The kitchen side is up to you.”

The one skilled in combat, also experienced in infiltrating various places, understood Yu Miao’s meaning without needing much explanation. She nodded lightly to indicate she understood.

With both sides reaching an agreement, the operation continued.

Just as Yu Miao’s figure completely disappeared behind the restroom door, Yi Jing’s figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

A few people, a cart?

Yi Jing’s gaze swept over the large objects occupying her field of vision, then impatiently shifted away after a moment.

She didn’t want to care about the affairs in the mayor’s house right now, she just wanted to find Yu Miao.

Quick, crisp footsteps approached rapidly, the sound getting very close, revealing an impatient mood.

Including Yu Miao, the few people preparing to hide their identities and set off separately paused their expressions and lowered their heads.

The nearly person-high metal cart crossed paths with Yi Jing, just blocking the view of the restroom door.

Yi Jing brushed shoulders with the woman pushing the cart. For a moment, it seemed as if a bit of attention was vaguely drawn, like the subconscious was reminding her of something.

Unfortunately, that tiny intuitive feeling was quickly pushed aside by anxious emotions, causing the tense Yi Jing to stare straight ahead at the stairs not far away and walk off.

Support
