When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 55.2
“Her purpose is to cooperate with us. Long before my companions set out, she had already discovered their traces. After that, that person had countless opportunities to carry out arrests, but she didn’t do so.
Letting my companions leave this time is a display of sincerity and ability. She has already extended an olive branch hoping to cooperate with us. It’s hard for me to refuse such a proposal from someone like this and in her negotiations with me, she specifically mentioned one person.”
Yu Mo closed her eyes briefly, already roughly guessing who the person who had helped Q was: “Who did she mention?”
“You,” Q replied. “She specifically brought up ‘that friend’ who provided us with the internal floor plan of the Mayor’s mansion – which is you. She hopes the organization can take good care of this ‘friend’ – that is, you. She said there may be opportunities to meet with you later, and she looks forward to joining forces with you.”
Yu Mo closed her eyes briefly and let out a light sigh: “…”
At this point, she wasn’t too surprised by this outcome. She just hadn’t expected that Yi Jing had already noticed the existence of the organization so early.
How did she discover it?
Was it her various actions before? Her previous abnormal behavior? Or was it discovered through normal investigation?
Yi Jing, did she know or not that she was the one who helped the organization members break into the Mayor’s mansion? If she really knew already, how much information did she have? If she knew what she had done, why didn’t she come to her directly, but instead deliberately took such a roundabout way to hint at it indirectly?
Yu Mo’s thoughts became chaotic for a moment, and she began to hesitate whether to lay everything out with Yi Jing.
Should she say it now?
Let alone whether Jing Jing would be angry about her deception, once she opened her mouth, she would inevitably have to explain why she knew the situation in the Mayor’s home.
What should she say then?
Should she tell everything? Yu Mo unconsciously took two steps back, supporting herself with one hand on the marble railing beside her, as her breathing and heartbeat began to lose balance.
— She didn’t want to.
She didn’t want to say it. It was something she didn’t even want to think about, let alone tell Yi Jing.
Half a district away from the Yi family manor, in front of the G1 checkpoint, all inspections had ended and the screening work had resumed its usual order.
The person in charge of the G1 checkpoint secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sitting in his office brewing a pot of good tea to soothe his soul that had been hurt by the Supervisory Commission.
Half an hour before Yu Mo received the communication from Q, Yi Jing had already finished her temporary inspection.
Xu Jiu and the waiting supervisory officers led the interns to perfectly complete the mission. ZHF31002, which was originally the bait, and ZLQ90288, which was the backup bait, successfully left District 13.
The person in charge of the G1 checkpoint was particularly cooperative and didn’t bring out the “personally customized” wanted notice from the Mayor in front of Yi Jing. Yi Jing also tacitly didn’t pursue it. After letting two batches of organization members go, she announced the end of the inspection and prepared to withdraw with the Supervisory Commission personnel.
Ignoring the fawning flattery of the G1 checkpoint person in charge, Yi Jing received a message from Yi Heng in the last second before leaving the G1 checkpoint: [Done]
Yi Heng, who had been acting like a bystander throughout this operation, finally played her role.
Without needing to appear in situations involving power negotiations, Yi Heng only needed to guard the necessary route when the organization’s people left, completing the biggest goal of this operation for Yi Jing.
That was the true final step of the plan.
Yi Jing’s actions were both help and threat. Now it was up to that organization to see if they could give an answer that satisfied her.
With all objectives achieved, Yi Jing left with her subordinates, splitting into two groups midway. The others returned to the Supervisory Commission, while Yi Jing herself took a detour to the location where Yi Heng had intercepted those suspects, meeting with the organization’s people.
At first, the young women in the aircraft were unwilling to admit their identities. It wasn’t until Yi Jing used the car that escaped from Xiangshan District as a threat that she successfully made those people waver and contact Q.
That car was only able to leave Xiangshan District smoothly by borrowing the Yi family’s name. Yi Jing herself was a high-ranking official in the Supervisory Commission and could notify the relevant parties at any time. Whether it was secretly notifying the Yi family and the Mayor to privately resolve the matter with them, or directly notifying the City Police Department to carry out arrests, those members would have no chance to escape. Then all the key action results they had tried so hard to protect by leaving through Xiangshan District would be in vain.
Yi Jing had taken full control of the bargaining chips in this negotiation, leaving the other members of the organization and Q with only one choice – to allow Yi Jing to contact them.
Then Yu Miao received a communication from Q.
The objective was fully achieved, but for the rest of the afternoon Yi Jing was busy as hell. To cover up the true purpose of the temporary inspection, Yi Jing had Xu Jiu issue inspection notices to most of the important checkpoints leaving District 13. However, apart from the G1 checkpoint and the S-003 cross-river bridge in Xijiang District, the other important checkpoints had not yet been inspected. Yi Jing had to quickly coordinate manpower to go inspect them.
Shortly after, news of the temporary inspection reached the mayor’s office. The mayor, who was about to step down, came to probe nervously. The two of them probed each other for several rounds, and in the end Yi Jing had to consider the mayor’s opinions in her actions. It wasn’t until near the end of the workday that Yi Jing finished her work, with no time to feel any changes.
The terminal had been quiet all afternoon. Although she was busy, she hadn’t received a single message from Yu Miao.
As Yi Jing finished work and turned off the light screens in her office, she lowered her eyes and rubbed the overly silent terminal with her fingertips.
Yu Miao hadn’t responded to her or said anything.
If it was really Yu Miao, Q should have already passed the message to her. So why wasn’t Yu Miao saying anything? Should she go confront her directly?
Yi Jing sat silently in her office for a moment, took a deep breath, then got up and left the office as usual, taking the Supervisory Agency’s assigned car back to the Yi family estate.
She still decided to wait for Yu Miao’s decision.
If Yu Miao didn’t want to talk, she would never force her.
Pressuring one’s lover was not something a good partner should do.
The estate was still spacious as always, exuding a sense of oppression that was harmonious on the surface but turbulent underneath. Yi Jing skillfully ignored all this pressure and walked towards the small courtyard where she and Yu Miao resided, as if nothing was wrong.
“Jing Jing.”
Just as Yi Jing was about to push open the door to enter the courtyard where she lived with Yu Miao, Yu Miao’s voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Yi Jing was startled and turned to look back.
Yu Miao was standing behind Yi Jing, looking at her with a complicated expression.
“Sister…?” Yi Jing hesitantly called out to Yu Miao. She actually wanted to act as usual, but now it seemed Yu Miao had something to say.
“…” Yu Miao looked at Yi Jing silently for a moment, then suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled, walking over to hold Yi Jing’s hand. As if nothing had happened, she spoke softly, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to call you. Let’s go in.”
“Mm, okay.” Yi Jing’s hand, with its hard bones and a thin layer of gun calluses on the skin, was held by Yu Miao’s soft fingers. Their warm skin touched without any barrier, and Yi Jing couldn’t help but smile, secretly becoming happy.
“Did work go smoothly today?” Yu Miao asked.
“It was fine, just some routine matters. I went to the border of the core area for surprise inspections at several entry and exit checkpoints, then liaised with the mayor’s office. Only that part was a bit troublesome, everything else was fine.”
Yi Jing replied.
“Is that so,” Yu Miao responded lightly.
She walked a little ahead of Yi Jing, and when she spoke, her facial expression couldn’t be seen. Only her soft, gentle voice could be heard, “Why did you decide to do surprise inspections?”
Yi Jing pursed her lips, her gaze pausing, and she couldn’t help but look at Yu Miao’s back with some reluctance.
Yu Miao, if it really was Yu Miao, she must be feeling very conflicted right now, right?
The warmth on her fingertips was still gently entwining, with affectionate emotions and cold rationality pulling against each other. One side firmly wanted to complete the original plan and wait for Yu Miao’s confession, while the other side was very sad, unwilling to let Yu Miao continue guessing anxiously like this, and even wanted to hug Yu Miao to comfort her and just tell her everything.
Yi Jing hesitated repeatedly for a while, but ultimately chose the latter between the tenderness before her eyes and the inability to separate for a long time in the future.
If it was for the sake of being able to stay together with Yu Miao forever and never be apart again, it seemed okay to endure temporarily.
“I just discovered something, so I needed to go deal with it,” Yi Jing said carefully.
Yi Jing had only hesitated for a moment, but Yu Miao misunderstood. Her figure paused slightly, and in Yi Jing’s momentary silence, she nervously and sensitively magnified Yi Jing’s emotions. A sense of panic and suffocation of ‘being discovered’ slowly spread.
“What do you mean? What did you discover?”
Yu Miao still appeared to be leading Yi Jing towards the room, but her footsteps gradually slowed down. Finally, she stood in the center of the living room without turning her head and asked softly.
The strange atmosphere spread from Yu Miao to Yi Jing. The joy from just now seemed like only a momentary illusion. The unavoidable fact lay between Yi Jing and Yu Miao. Yi Jing could already feel that Yu Miao’s grip on her hand had become stiff.
“Well.” Yi Jing shifted her gaze, biting her lip and setting aside the part related to Yu Miao. She lowered her eyes and stated all the facts,
“The case of the explosion at the mayor’s mansion hasn’t been solved yet. The Supervisory Agency and the City Police Department have been following up. In the meantime, I accidentally discovered that there was a secret organization behind the suspects. That organization happened to be well, of a special nature, so I went to intercept them.”
“Is that so? Do you plan to catch them?” Yu Miao asked softly again.
“Oh, that’s not it. I…” Yi Jing suddenly realized that she had never expressed to Yu Miao that she actually wanted to bring down the Yi family. But wouldn’t it be a bit abrupt to suddenly say it now?
Yi Jing considered for a moment whether this scenario was suitable for saying it directly. After thinking for a while, she said, “It’s because my plan has some overlap with their goals, so I want to cooperate with them.”
“I see,” Yu Miao responded, facing away from Yi Jing, as if she wasn’t curious at all about Yi Jing’s decision. She turned around casually, smiled lightly at Yi Jing, and raised her hand to push Yi Jing’s back, saying, “Let’s go to the dining room first. The butler has already brought dinner over.”
“Mm… okay.” Yi Jing pursed her lips, but didn’t say anything in the end.
If Yu Miao didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t ask either.
Even though she really wanted to lay everything out with Yu Miao right now.
Yi Jing lowered her eyes and walked towards the dining room. She hadn’t gone far when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. It was Yu Miao running towards her.
Yi Jing: “?”
The reflexes honed in the judicial system’s direct schools made Yi Jing’s consciousness aware of Yu Miao’s movement before her body did. Instinct told her that Yu Miao’s approach didn’t need to be avoided, but Yi Jing couldn’t quite figure out why Yu Miao suddenly ran towards her.
The next second, Yi Jing was hugged from behind by Yu Miao.
The warm, soft body suddenly pounced over, bringing an indescribable sense of attachment and security.
“Do you know something?” Yu Miao, pressed against Yi Jing’s back, suddenly asked.
Yi Jing was startled, her thoughts abruptly pulled away from Yu Miao’s embrace. She almost broke out in a cold sweat, her attention wavering between ‘Yu Miao’s presence’ and ‘what Yu Miao said’ for quite a while before she could sort out her thoughts and ask, “I… Sister, what are you referring to?”
Yu Miao behind her didn’t make a sound. Yi Jing lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her hand to hold Yu Miao’s hands wrapped around her waist: “If you want to ask ,Well, if I have to say it, I did indeed discover something I shouldn’t have.”
“Is that so.” Yu Miao closed her eyes, no longer having the energy to care about the hesitation in Yi Jing’s words, only feeling as if a cold wind had blown into her heart.
All along, the desire to gloss over the truth and suppress everything seemed to have become laughable. The little alpha had clearly been aware of something all along. The wish to continue this illusory happiness with the little alpha until they could no longer be together also seemed to have become her own wishful thinking.
Those plans, those actions, none of them could be hidden anymore.
“But I haven’t looked at those materials and evidence yet.”
“Huh?” Yu Miao was stunned for a moment, raising her head slightly in surprise. She leaned against Yi Jing’s back, looking at her from the side of her face, not quite understanding what Yi Jing suddenly meant by saying this.
Yi Jing reached into her outer coat pocket, took out the storage device that she had been carrying with her all along, which contained the surveillance video, and held it out in her palm to Yu Miao:
“This is the surveillance video from the parking garage below the dessert shop you said tasted good on the day of the explosion at the mayor’s mansion. Actually, after I got in the car that day, I sensed something was wrong, but…”
Yi Jing left half of her words unsaid, instead placing the storage device in her hand into Yu Miao’s hand, abandoning talk of the current situation and only speaking about the most important matter directly related to the trust between them:
“I haven’t watched it yet.”
Yu Miao was stunned, holding the storage device in her hand and looking down at it. After a while, she said, “You, you’re just giving this to me?”
Didn’t Yi Jing want to know if she was really the one who helped Q?
“Mm,” Yi Jing nodded, her gaze lingering on the storage device for a moment before unhesitatingly closing Yu Miao’s fingers over it. She looked up at Yu Miao and said,
“This is the only thing I don’t want to know the truth about through investigation. I’ll deal with everything else, but regarding this matter, I only want to wait for you to tell me.”
Yu Miao froze, clutching the storage device tightly and frowning at Yi Jing: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll lie to you?”
“I want you to trust me more,” Yi Jing looked steadily into Yu Miao’s eyes, “Lies, deception, plans, they’re not the problem, including that organization. Oh, and the Yi family. None of that matters. I just want to be with you. Even if you lie to me, I still want to be with you.”
As she spoke, Yi Jing grasped Yu Miao’s wrist.
Anyway, she wouldn’t let Yu Miao leave her, even if Yu Miao lied to her.
Now that everything was almost laid out between them, if Yu Miao still didn’t want to be honest with her. Yi Jing’s pale lips pursed, nervously staring at Yu Miao, involuntarily thinking of all the melodramatic plots she had seen in the past.
It seemed none of them were suitable. If she pretended now that the Yi family was persecuting her, could it make Yu Miao stay by her side or be willing to take her along?
Anyway, she couldn’t forcibly make Yu Miao stay by her side. That would really ruin everything.
