Chapter 97: Struggling and Roaring; The Omega Before Him is Simply Crazy… part 1
“I’ll handle him.”
Shen Shiyue’s voice was deep and raspy as he repeated each word.
Jiang Chenyan’s thoughts were messy, and he didn’t respond for a moment. He looked up slightly, his gaze falling exactly on Shen Shiyue’s jaw.
He asked the system in his mind: “Did Bai Ning do this because the plot drove him to, or is this just his nature?”
The system was silent for a few seconds before its mechanical electronic voice slowly sounded:
[His portrayal in the original work was always one of extreme paranoia. He loves Xie Huaijin to the point of madness. Perhaps he sensed something abnormal and was eager to use Walter’s hand to get rid of you once and for all.]
Bai Ning had intentionally leaked the news that Jiang Chenyan was alive to Walter; he truly wanted to kill with a borrowed knife.
Jiang Chenyan suddenly remembered his previous soft-heartedness in giving Bai Ning gold coins. It was absurd and ironic. A hint of coldness filled his eyes.
His fingertips trembled slightly. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch the side of Shen Shiyue’s face, his pads pressing against the cool skin. The texture was fine and firm.
He responded to Shen Shiyue’s question from just now. “As you wish.”
Hearing the answer, Shen Shiyue looked down at Jiang Chenyan and nodded slowly. His fingertips unconsciously covered the back of Jiang Chenyan’s hand, clutching that bit of warmth even tighter.
Leaning in Shen Shiyue’s arms, Jiang Chenyan’s thoughts drifted for a moment, and his lips curved in a self-mocking smile.
…
In the high-end villa, the lights were dim and scattered. Light and shadow stirred the un-dispersed smell of alcohol in the air, exuding a bit of chaotic decadence.
Xie Huaijin was leaning back in a velvet sofa. His sharp features couldn’t hide his exhaustion. The corners of his eyes were faint red, and the dark circles under his eyes were prominent.
The news of the LE Organization’s destruction had been suppressed into silence within half a day.
The force with which his fingertips held the empty wine glass suddenly tightened. Xie Huaijin looked up to sweep his gaze across the heavy night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. He knew this was Shen Shiyue’s handiwork.
Glass after glass of wine was poured down his throat, the spiciness burning his windpipe.
Xie Huaijin wanted to use alcohol to numb his nerves and make those fragments disappear completely. But his consciousness remained terrifyingly clear—clear enough to trace Jiang Chenyan’s features, and even more unable to forget when the airship hung high in the sky and the other person turned and jumped.
Without the slightest hesitation. Like a piece of broken feather swept away by the wind, he had fallen straight into the abyss below, leaving not a single chance for him or Mu Sian to take him back.
Xie Huaijin’s fingertips were white. His knuckles pressed against his brow as a dense pain spread along his nerves.
He knew all too well that Jiang Chenyan’s death was largely caused by him and Mu Sian. That day, he and Mu Sian had pressed him step by step, wanting to forcefully mark Jiang Chenyan and cut off all his retreats.
But they had forgotten what kind of character Jiang Chenyan had. In the end, the person was gone, ending with no corpse left to find.
The smell of alcohol filled the dim villa. Xie Huaijin held his wine glass, his fingertips pale.
Initially, he had pursued Jiang Chenyan just for a bit of novelty, treating him as a toy that could be discarded at any time. He had never taken him to heart.
But it wasn’t until that person jumped from the airship and not even his bones could be recovered that the hollow days ground away at his obsession. Xie Huaijin woke up with the benefit of hindsight.
Jiang Chenyan was never a toy. What he had thought was desire had long since changed its nature during their day-after-day entanglement.
Staring at the dregs in the bottom of the glass, Xie Huaijin wanted the person back so much he felt he was going crazy.
But he also clearly understood that the dead cannot come back to life.
The sound of footsteps was so light it was almost humble. The butler stood bowed not far away. “Young Master, that Omega named Bai Ning has come. He says someone is hunting him and seems to want to beg for your protection…”
Xie Huaijin’s brow furrowed, and impatience filled his eyes. His voice was as cold as ice: “Tell him to get lost.” He wasn’t in the mood to deal with irrelevant people.
A few seconds after the words fell, the wine at his fingertips swayed. An inexplicable agitation rose in his heart. He said deeply, “Wait.”
The butler’s footsteps paused, and he turned to look back. Xie Huaijin looked up and changed his tune: “Let him in.”
The moment the door was pushed open, Bai Ning was standing at the threshold, clutching his hem. When he saw Xie Huaijin on the sofa clearly, his eyes instantly turned red. Seeing this Alpha, who once made him feel both awe and a racing heart, after so long, grievance and fear surged up. His nose felt sour, and tears almost fell.
Xie Huaijin looked up to scan Bai Ning’s reddened eye corners. His frown deepened. “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t act pitiful here.”
Bai Ning’s lips were pressed white. His voice trembled. “I really knew I was wrong last time. Can’t you forgive me just once more?”
From start to finish, Xie Huaijin didn’t give Bai Ning a single look, being as indifferent as if he were looking at irrelevant dust.
Bai Ning’s throat tightened. Scrambling to find a breakthrough, he said, “Shen Shiyue wants to kill me. I don’t even know how I offended him…” As soon as the words left his mouth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off. Shen Shiyue and Jiang Chenyan seemed to have a good relationship; he heard the two were roommates.
It was possible that Shen Shiyue knew Jiang Chenyan wasn’t dead, and the two had colluded to deal with him!
Yes, it had to be that!
“What does that have to do with me?” Xie Huaijin finally looked up, inwardly annoyed that he had been so muddled as to let this kind of person in to foul his eyes.
The bodyguards on the side received the signal. They immediately stepped forward to grab Bai Ning’s arms to drag him out.
Bai Ning couldn’t believe Xie Huaijin would treat him this way. He struggled and roared at Xie Huaijin manically.
“I know you’ve never looked at me! Your heart and eyes are full of that Jiang Chenyan! Heh… He’s clearly still alive, playing you like a fool, and you’re still thinking about him even now?!”
Hearing this, Xie Huaijin’s frame paused slightly. His eyes darkened almost imperceptibly. Then, his lips curved in a sneer. “What kind of tactic is this now?”
The Omega before him was simply crazy beyond reason.
Bai Ning was so panicked his voice was floating. He struggled urgently. Why wouldn’t Xie Huaijin believe him?! “No, I can explain…”
Xie Huaijin’s eyebrow tilted slightly. the cold light in his eyes hadn’t dispersed. He tilted his chin. The bodyguards understood and let go. After Bai Ning stood up stumbling, he spoke indifferently: “I’ll give you five minutes. Make it clear.”
Bai Ning’s voice trembled. His speech was rapid as he revealed everything—the chance encounter with Jiang Chenyan and the tipping off of the LE Organization. “You might blame me. Blame me for not telling you he was alive first. But I knew that even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me! What choice did I have?!”
Xie Huaijin’s fingertips pressed against the edge of the table, his knuckles white. He said nothing. The dark tides in his eyes were hidden very deep.
After Bai Ning finished speaking, there was still no ripple on his face. He completely ignored the other’s urgent, roaring explanations. He calmly instructed the bodyguards: “Lock him up. Keep a close watch.”
“What?!”
Bai Ning was in disbelief.
“Xie Huaijin!”
The next second, he began shouting his name as if he were mad. His throat hurt from the strain, and his eyes instantly turned red and bloodshot. He stared fixedly at Xie Huaijin, yet he couldn’t break free from the bodyguards’ iron-like grip.
After the person was dragged away, the air pressure around Xie Huaijin plummeted. The blood in his chest was so hot it almost burned through his reason. His heart raced. Jiang Chenyan might really be alive.
Regardless of whether Bai Ning’s words were true or false, he was going to take a gamble.
Over the next few months, Xie Huaijin secretly laid his pieces, completely avoiding Qi Bai and Mu Sian without letting a single word of his intentions leak. His thought was simple: this time, he would possess Jiang Chenyan completely and never let go again.
