When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 66.1

No-fly zones are usually areas near confidential research centers, residences of important officials, or military bases. Such locations typically have few visitors, require strict access control, and have much lower foot traffic than main roads in city centers.

Several rugged-looking off-road vehicles deftly rushed out of the accident area to chase after and intercept the car carrying Yu Miao and the police. The drivers of the off-road vehicles were highly skilled, and their interception tactics were well-practiced. They quickly worked together to block the last police car following behind Yu Miao’s group on the main road.

At this point, the only ones left who could help Yu Miao were Yu Miao herself and Lin Fei.

Lin Fei glanced at the situation behind them through the rearview mirror, frowned and clicked her tongue, then turned the steering wheel again to maneuver the Supervisory Office’s car onto a different road. They were still some distance from the originally agreed meeting point, and Lin Fei couldn’t possibly bring so many tails to meet up with the people Yi Jing had arranged, so she could only try to shake off their pursuers.

Unfortunately, Old Master Yi was serious this time. He had mobilized many people both on land and in the air, implementing interception from well outside half of the core area. The massive encirclement gradually shrank and locked down, no matter how Lin Fei tried to weave through District 13, it was very difficult to break out.

More and more cars were in hot pursuit, refusing to let up. Lin Fei’s brows were tightly knitted as she finally had no choice but to contact her colleagues at the police station through her private terminal.

Her colleagues who had been on standby at the police station knew as soon as they received the communication that the transfer operation wasn’t going smoothly. They immediately urgently deployed the Sky Eye system for positioning, using the ubiquitous Sky Eye surveillance cameras to determine the movements of the opponent’s vehicles.

With the help of Sky Eye, Lin Fei’s actions to shake off the other side’s entanglement finally became a bit smoother.

But the other side still had superior numbers and resources. No matter how Lin Fei tried to anticipate their plans, she couldn’t truly break through their blockade and was unable to leave the core area.

Those people continued their relentless pursuit, and Lin Fei had no way to contact the “escape route” pre-arranged with Yi Jing. The situation became tense for a while, with neither side able to gain an advantage over the other in the short term.

But if things continued to drag on like this, it wouldn’t be long before they would be forcibly surrounded by these people using their numerical advantage.

Yu Miao sat calmly in the back seat, watching with her own eyes as Lin Fei repeatedly fiddled with the car’s operating system. Several times she pulled up the same interface, but each time her finger hovered hesitantly over the operation screen before reluctantly backing out again.

Yu Miao could see clearly that when the operating system returned to its initial state, the hidden vehicle weapons system was also exposed. The judicial system’s vehicles concealed a small amount of armaments, enough to open up a path in critical moments – this young police officer was hesitating whether or not to use the weapons.

This was still a busy urban area after all. Once weapons were used, there would be no turning back.

“Let’s stop the car first,” Yu Miao said before Lin Fei could activate the vehicle’s armaments.

“What?” Lin Fei had been aiming at the road to the side and rear, about to fire a rocket, when her hand paused. She then frowned and asked Yu Miao in a tense voice, “Do you know what you’re saying? They’re the ones surrounding you right now. If we stop the car, you’ll inevitably fall into their hands.”

“I know,” Yu Miao’s voice was very steady, “But there’s no other way now, is there? Are you really prepared to blow up the roads in a busy area? There’s a lab affiliated with Jing’an City’s Confidential Research Institute not far from here. Using weapons here will definitely attract military personnel.”

“…” Lin Fei furrowed her brow. This was also what she had been worried about all along, but…

“You don’t think you can escape unscathed if you fall into their hands, do you?” Lin Fei operated the steering wheel with one hand while controlling the gear module on the operating system with the other. Using both foot and hand controls, she tightly controlled the vehicle, completing one risky overtaking and lane change after another. “Those aren’t good people. They clearly intend to use you as a bargaining chip to warn Security Officer Yi.”

“They won’t,” Yu Miao looked at the road ahead with dark eyes and expression. “They won’t really do anything to me. Yi Jing hasn’t completely lost his value yet, and the same goes for me. They’ll want me alive. As long as they still want to try to win Yi Jing over, they won’t harm me.”

“You—” Lin Fei was about to scold her for being too reckless, when suddenly a car rushed out from the side, barely grazing their vehicle as it flew past, nearly crashing directly into the front passenger position. Lin Fei urgently slowed down to avoid it, and all her words were held back.

In that brief moment of opportunity, several more cars rushed out from the diagonal rear, cutting directly across to block the road in front. Lin Fei instinctively braked, and the cars that had been closely pursuing them immediately seized the chance to block behind their car, working with the previous vehicles to cut off their escape routes from different directions.

Lin Fei clicked her tongue lightly, and without thinking was about to activate the vehicle’s weapons system, but was stopped by Yu Miao: “Wait a moment.”

“What?” Lin Fei frowned and looked back at her. Once an opportunity was missed, it would be difficult to seize it again. That instant just now was the best time to strike. Now if she wanted to take action, she would need to reconsider the selection of strike targets.

“Let me try,” Yu Miao put her hand on Lin Fei’s shoulder, her gaze sinking as she glanced at the cars blocking the way ahead. “Keep your job and position to do more meaningful things later. There’s no need to take disciplinary action at a time like this.”

Lin Fei was stunned, not expecting Yu Miao to have time to consider this.

It made sense, but no matter what, a position wouldn’t be more important than a life. Since she dared to come, she had already prepared for the consequences. At most it would just cause some trouble that was hard to clean up. She wouldn’t regret it at the last minute.

Lin Fei made up her mind and was about to tell Yu Miao not to run off, when she turned her head to see that Yu Miao had already quietly authenticated the vehicle owner permissions and was about to open the car door to get out.

Lin Fei: “!!”

This reckless woman!!

Lin Fei was furious. In her urgency, she could only turn and call out to Yu Miao: “Hey!”

Yu Miao ignored her and pushed open the door of the Supervisory Office’s vehicle, calmly walking into the view of all the pursuers.

Over ten cars that could barely be considered low-key in appearance had tightly surrounded the Supervisory Office’s vehicle in the middle. Yu Miao’s gaze swept over these cars one by one, finally landing on a car stopped in front of all the others: “You’re looking for me?”

Sure enough, a person got out of the car Yu Miao was staring at.

Yu Miao felt the person looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember who it was. Probably another minor figure from the Yi family. The person wore a very low-key, unremarkable black suit, quietly got out of the car and gave a slight bow to Yu Miao, then made a “please” gesture with his hand: “Miss Yu, the old master would like to see you.”

Lin Fei in the driver’s seat immediately unbuckled her seatbelt to get out, but was stopped by Yu Miao’s hand pressing against the door.

Lin Fei anxiously slapped the window hard: “You!”

Yu Miao didn’t even look at her, her hand still firmly blocking the car door as she stared steadily at the group opposite and asked: “How do you prove you’re really the old master’s people?”

The young man leading the group was taken aback for a moment, seeming surprised by Yu Miao’s words. But he didn’t argue, and after thinking for a moment, he took a terminal from one of his subordinates and walked over towards Yu Miao alone.

Yu Miao quietly watched as the man stood at a distance neither too far nor too close from her and opened the light screen on the terminal. A video call image appeared, and Yu Miao saw in the image the butler who most often appeared by Old Master Yi’s side. Judging by the surroundings, this butler should be in the main residence of the estate.

“Miss Yu.” The butler in the terminal smiled slightly and nodded lightly to Yu Miao, saying in a gentle tone, “Please don’t be nervous. These people are indeed sent by the Chairman to you. But they absolutely do not intend to do anything to you, they just want to invite you to sit for a moment in a different place. I hope you won’t refuse.”

Yu Miao frowned as she looked at those people in the distance, then gave a cold laugh and said: “With this kind of lineup, just to sit for a bit?”

The butler smiled silently, his expression humble and gentle, impeccable, but his eyes distant and cold.

Yu Miao coldly swept her gaze over the other’s contradictory expression, feeling there was indeed nothing to say to someone openly putting on an act, so she indifferently withdrew her gaze and said: “I understand. I’ll go with you.”

“Stop right there! Who authorized you to privately take away a free citizen?”

Lin Fei finally found a chance to get out of the car. After getting out, she didn’t even have time to close the car door before directly flashing her work ID, followed immediately by drawing her gun: “Lin Fei, Detective Division of the City Police Department. Hurry up and release the person! Otherwise I’ll take all of you to the police station for questioning! Intercepting and attacking public officials, attempted kidnapping of citizens – you people can’t escape at least these two charges!”

The young man holding the terminal finally spoke up, turning to face Lin Fei with a slight movement of his lips and a fake smile: “Officer, we haven’t kidnapped anyone. Miss Yu is my young miss’s fiancée. I’m just following the instructions of the Yi family elders to bring Miss Yu back for a short visit. As for intercepting and attacking public officials. I’m sorry officer, but our people’s driving skills aren’t very good. Why don’t you find someone from the traffic police to give them a ticket?”

“You…!” Lin Fei’s brows furrowed as she raised her gun. “We’ll see if it was intentional assault when we get to the police station!”

The current situation was extremely unfavorable to their side. Retreating was definitely the best choice, and continuing to resist wouldn’t do Lin Fei herself any good either. But Lin Fei thought of Qi Xiao, who worked so hard he had become a workaholic, and the situations of her other colleagues. She closed her eyes and steeled her resolve, gritting her teeth as she decided to try to snatch the person back first.

After all, her identity had already been revealed and Sky Eye was still operational. These people surely couldn’t just kill her outright.

But before Lin Fei could take action, Yu Miao, who was standing next to the young man, suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Fei.

Their eyes met, and Lin Fei was suddenly taken aback.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with this matter. I’ll go with them. You go back,” Yu Miao said slowly as she looked into Lin Fei’s eyes.

“…” Lin Fei was stunned for a moment. The corners of her mouth immediately tightened, and her whole aura became sharp. After giving Yu Miao a deep look, she turned and left, slamming the car door shut with a “bang”.

The next second, the Supervisory Office’s vehicle made a U-turn and fishtailed away. It drove off very irritably and in a bad mood through the narrow path that the surrounding vehicles had opened up, its rear end kicking up a cloud of dust over half the people at the scene.

The young man standing next to Yu Miao looked in the direction Lin Fei had left and let out a light “hmph”, curling his lip somewhat contemptuously. Then he bowed slightly to Yu Miao again and asked: “Miss Yu, shall we go?”

Yu Miao ignored him, taking a deep look in the direction the Supervisory Office vehicle had left before turning to get into a completely unfamiliar car.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei, who was speeding along the highway, didn’t waste a second. As soon as she got in the car, she immediately opened the vehicle’s positioning system. She also took the time to call her colleagues on duty at the police station, opening with brief and direct orders: “Deploy trackers immediately! Conduct aerial and ground tracking simultaneously. Don’t let them go! No matter what, use Sky Eye to keep an eye on them until the trackers catch up to those people. We must keep Yu Miao’s whereabouts in our hands.”

After finding external support, Lin Fei glanced at the positioning system in the car again and urgently dialed Qi Xiao’s communication.

Among the various functions of these official vehicles provided only to high-level officials in high-risk positions in the Supervisory Office, most were designed to ensure the user’s safety. Among these diverse functions was an inconspicuous hidden feature that could come in handy at critical moments – a micro-tracker.

The highest authority holder authenticated by the vehicle system could activate the micro-tracker on the car in critical moments. By carrying it with them, they could determine the location of the micro-tracker through the car’s positioning system.

Lin Fei watched the rapidly moving cursor on the map system, unconsciously holding her breath – who knew how long this tracker would last. The signal transmitted by the micro-tracker had a very limited range. If they wanted to determine the other party’s position beyond the limited distance, they would need to enhance the signal, which might then be detected by the other side.

Qi Xiao quickly answered the call. She had clearly already learned about what happened through other channels. As soon as the call connected, she didn’t waste any time and asked directly: “How is it now?”

Lin Fei furrowed her brows tightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed to say it out loud – she had just handed over Miss Yu like that: “Miss Yu got into the other party’s car carrying the tracker from the Supervisory Office vehicle. We can still capture her location through the tracker now. I’ve already had Little Chen send out the police department’s mechanical trackers. Has Security Officer Yi’s press conference ended?”

Qi Xiao also furrowed her brows tightly, not stopping for a moment as she said: “Yu Miao’s location has been sent over. We’re preparing to intercept the vehicles. We must get her back at all costs. As for the press conference.”

Qi Xiao frowned as she looked back towards the conference venue, saying in a low, worried voice: “It should be ending soon. I hope Yi Jing can hurry up.”

Inside the venue, Yi Jing was still seated high on the stage, but the rhythm of the scene was already somewhat out of her control.

More and more truths were being disclosed. Indignant ordinary reporters and those close to the Yi family or the political and legal faction were mocking each other. Many times when these reporters spoke up, it was no longer to get answers, but merely to take the opportunity to attack the other side.

After arguing like this for over ten minutes, Yi Jing, sitting steadily on the stage, felt that both the atmosphere and emotions at the scene had been stirred to a high point. She had already said everything she could say. The rest depended on how much these reporters could do. This press conference no longer had the ability to convey more valuable information.

Having accomplished everything she wanted to do, Yi Jing immediately decided to leave.

She needed to find a chance to slip away quickly. She still had many things to do.

Yi Jing glanced at the person in charge beside her and flawlessly intervened to stop the verbal sparring between two reporters from different factions. Just when everyone thought she had something to say, Yi Jing suddenly stood up and announced the end of the press conference.

“This press conference ends here. The above is everything the Supervisory Office wanted to say regarding this ‘District Five Purge’ incident. We hope that friends in the media and people from all walks of society will continue to supervise and pay attention together, to avoid letting the truth be buried in rumors.”

“What do you mean, is the Security Officer saying the press conference is ending just like this?”

“Please wait a moment, Security Officer, I still have questions to ask!”

“Please wait!”

Yi Jing’s sudden call to stop caught many people off guard. As she left, she could still hear people behind her calling for her to wait, but she really couldn’t wait any longer. She had very important things to do. Even though the press conference had been a fierce battle of words without a moment’s pause, what Yi Jing worried about most was still Yu Miao’s safety.

If she didn’t see Yu Miao soon, she was going to go crazy.

Yi Jing strode towards the exit of the venue, walking faster and faster, the expression on her face gradually becoming tense and worried.

Please don’t let anything happen.

Yu Miao.

Yi Jing walked through several security checkpoints in the venue without stopping, not even glancing back as she headed towards where the Supervisory Office’s driver had parked. Before Yi Jing could reach that spot, from a distance of over ten meters she saw that the black vehicle emblazoned with the judicial system’s emblem was no longer in the place where the Supervisory Office’s car had been parked.

Yi Jing felt her head buzzing, her legs suddenly going weak.

This was bad.

They even dared to intercept a judicial system vehicle. Old Master Yi had truly gone mad.

What would they do to Yu Miao? Could Yu Miao safely escape from District 13? Was the little preparation she had hastily organized enough?

Yi Jing’s heart was in chaos, her mind rapidly sorting through various possibilities. She hadn’t paid attention to the changes around her, not even noticing her body’s unconscious swaying until Qi Xiao, who had rushed over, grabbed her arm to steady her.

“Wake up! What are you playing at being weak at a time like this!” Qi Xiao grabbed Yi Jing’s collar and called out in a low voice, “Don’t lose it now! Did you get low blood sugar from using your brain too much at the press conference?! I don’t care if you collapse, but what about your lover?!”

Lover?

Yi Jing blinked lightly, catching the key word. Her previously blank gaze moved slightly, her eyes regaining focus. Coming back to her senses, Yi Jing bit her lip hard. As the taste of blood spread in her mouth, the pain stimulated her attention. Yi Jing grabbed Qi Xiao’s hand and asked urgently: “Where did she go? How much information do you have?”

“This place was targeted soon after you entered the venue,” Qi Xiao didn’t waste time at this moment, quickly summarizing, “We saw the encirclement was about to form so we wanted to act first, breaking out of the core area to meet up with Yu Miao’s ‘friends’ as you said.

But the other side had too many people. Lin Fei did her best, but was still intercepted by Yi family people on Huaishen Second Road in the High-Tech Zone. Now Yu Miao is carrying the tracker from your car and moving within District 13. Lin Fei is keeping an eye on Yu Miao’s location, and people at the police station are also controlling Sky Eye and the police-specific tracking device ‘Tracker’ to pursue those people.”

“How long has it been since Yu Miao left with them?” Yi Jing looked at Qi Xiao.

“About fifteen minutes. The Trackers are catching up now,” Qi Xiao answered.

Fifteen minutes?

“Then they should have covered some distance. We can’t delay any longer!” Yi Jing furrowed her brows tightly, the map of District 13 naturally appearing in her mind.

All the connections between roads and air routes linked up in Yi Jing’s mind. Adding in calculations of vehicle speeds and road conditions, as well as Yi Jing’s understanding of the Yi family’s business over this period of time, several suspicious locations were quickly marked out.

“Let’s go now,” Yi Jing grabbed Qi Xiao’s arm without thinking, pulling her towards the police vehicle. “Chase after them as quickly as possible. Have that Lin Fei send me a copy of the location data.”

As the two were talking, a detective from the investigation team suddenly rushed over to stop them: “It’s not good, Chief Qi. Lin just sent a message saying she suddenly can’t detect the signal from the Supervisory Office car’s tracker! She’s sent over the last location shown before the positioning disappeared. She’s gone ahead in the direction where the positioning was lost, saying she wants to try to see if she can recover the signal.”

“What?!”

How could it happen right at this moment?!

Yi Jing’s heart suddenly sank. She instinctively snatched the terminal from the other person’s hand and looked at it, her gaze fixed tightly on the flashing point representing Yu Miao’s last known position before disappearing.

Qi Xiao didn’t fight her for it, instead grabbing her own subordinate and asking: “What about Sky Eye and the Trackers?”

“Sky Eye is still operational, tracking the other party’s position, but they passed through several private courtyards in between. Private residences have always been off-limits for monitoring, so we’re not sure if they took the opportunity to transfer Yu Miao to another location. We can only keep an eye on the movements of all suspicious vehicles, which is quite a large workload. Sky Eye is still calculating. The Trackers are still pursuing those people. Two of the Trackers lost their targets, while the remaining ones are still locked onto the most suspicious vehicles.”
