Chapter 29: Tracking
In the hallway of Teaching Building No. 1, where people came and went, the black-haired, black-eyed Alpha stood quietly. Dressed in a black leather jacket and trousers, his aura was chilling.
—Two days ago.
[Gege: Mianmian, I can agree not to meet. Why are you ignoring me?]
[Gege: Tell me what I’ve done wrong.]
—Last night.
[Gege: Do you not want me anymore?]
—Two minutes ago.
[Gege: I will find you.]
【Message sent, but rejected.】
It had just rained last night, and the temperature had dropped sharply.
His left hand rested on the railing, and the ring finger of his right hand circled an unlit cigarette. His dark phoenix eyes lifted, looking at the chat interface displaying an exclamation mark.
He had been sending messages all morning, and had just been blocked.
Wen Song walked over while yawning. “Shi He, the video is up. They’re bundled up so tightly with a hat and mask; can you really force the person out?”
“I will.”
Shi He flicked his eyelids, watching the constantly moving coordinates on his phone. He didn’t mind playing the role-playing game with Ruan Zhimian a bit longer. “I want him to come see me of his own accord.”
Shi He called Ruan Zhimian.
Having just received the news, the flustered little scammer spoke in stutters: “Shi He, do you… is there something?”
“Just asking how your checkup went.”
“It went… well…”
Shi He’s narrow, dark phoenix eyes lowered. The sleeping little black snake on his shoulder crawled over, pressing against the phone receiver. His voice was natural: “That’s good. What are your plans for the afternoon?”
“I have serious business to attend to. Very busy. Let’s not talk for now.”
Guilty to such an extent—the little scammer was not far from exposing himself.
Ruan Zhimian clutched his phone, his earlobes red. He obediently followed Ruan Xubai, who had just finished collecting a thick stack of medicinal recipes, out of the building. “Mianmian, once the medicine is brewed, I’ll have my secretary pick it up. Should I send it home or to school?”
“Home!”
Ruan Xubai had to return to the company and also needed to tell the family about the results of this consultation. “Where to now? Brother will take you.”
Ruan Zhimian pulled out his phone, looked at the surroundings, and thought of Shi He, trembling along with Qiuqiu in his arms. “I’m going to the library.”
He planned to stay outside for a few days by himself.
After attending the Han family banquet next week, he would run away directly.
However, while the plan was perfect, reality was absurd.
Ruan Zhimian stayed in the library for three hours. Just after the lunch break ended, a popular short video of him reading seriously in the library sent him onto the city’s trending search list. By the time Ruan Zhimian discovered it, the time had already passed.
After he prepared to leave, several strangers kept following him as if they hadn’t heard his rejection.
“You look decent enough; it’s your honor that I’ve taken an interest in you.”
“You’re an Omega and I’m an Alpha. A high-tier one, you understand? Many Omegas pursue me, but I haven’t agreed.”
“Look how well I’ve photographed you. You’re trending now; you should give me money.”
[Qiuqiu: Mianmian, they’re even more confident than Han He’an. They completely don’t understand words.]
With Qiuqiu’s help, Ruan Zhimian went to a nearby shopping mall to lose them. He walked quickly out of the elevator and went into the nearest shop to call Ruan Xubai.
“Brother, I was secretly filmed. Can you have it taken down?”
“Give me ten minutes.”
In the crowd, the black-clad Alpha who had appeared at some unknown time extended his arm to block the stalkers.
Those deep, gloomy eyes curved slightly, meeting their gaze darkly. With force in his right arm, he easily pulled the person into a nearby stairwell.
At the same time, a voice came from his phone: “Boss, the others have also been found.”
Shi He leaned down, looking at the low-tier Alpha cowering in the corner. He cracked his knuckles. “Find out who’s behind them and clean them all up.”
In less than ten minutes, the source was deleted, and related content was disappearing.
When Ruan Zhimian walked out of the shop, he looked around and didn’t find any more strange gazes. He specifically bought a hat and mask to bundle himself up tightly.
“Mianmian, the source wasn’t deleted by me.”
“Maybe they deleted it because they couldn’t find me.”
Ruan Xubai didn’t discuss the topic with Ruan Zhimian further. He felt the matter was a bit strange and that someone might be operating behind the scenes. “Mianmian, send me your coordinates. I’ll have the driver pick you up.”
Ruan Zhimian’s optimism faltered again when he saw similar little dresses being sold in a shop window in the mall.
There were many little dresses in the dormitory cabinet.
Could he steal them out?
“A-Yu, do me a favor.”
“Is Shi He still at school right now? I have things I need to go back to the dorm to get.”
Teng Yu replied immediately: “I’ll have someone ask. I’ll wait for you at the parking lot to help you move things.”
From a distance, Shi He stood opposite the glass railing. After Ruan Zhimian walked away, he bought that dress.
“Tell him I’m not at school. I’ll be at the company from this afternoon until tonight.”
Ruan Zhimian took the driver’s car back to the school. He didn’t dare wear the hat and mask again for fear of matching the person in the video.
Ruan Zhimian got off the car and walked in with Teng Yu.
However, for some reason, the dormitory area of the school was much more lively than usual. Many staff and students were gathered in front of his dormitory door.
Ruan Zhimian took a look from afar, preparing to bypass them from behind. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the tree, someone with a microphone called his name.
Ruan Zhimian turned back. The surrounding crowd parted like waves, making a path.
In the center was an elaborately set-up decoration. Han He’an was kneeling on one knee with a bouquet of roses, looking exceptionally devoted. “Mianmian, I owe you an engagement ceremony.”
“We’ve been together for three years. We’ve walked through many trials during these years, and I believe we can go further. You will become Mrs. Han…”
“Now, I am confessing to you again in front of everyone.”
“Ruan Zhimian, will you marry me?”
Many people were shouting, “Marry him!”
Ruan Zhimian stood unmoving where he was. He didn’t know what the previous Ruan Zhimian would feel upon hearing this, but he knew that Han He’an’s gesture was nothing more than for the Han family, to win back his parents, and to continue being a dashing Young Master Han.
It was too ridiculous.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Ruan Zhimian walked over. He picked up the microphone. “Han He’an, do you like me?”
Han He’an was still kneeling on the ground. Ruan Zhimian pressed his shoulder, showing no intention of letting him stand up. He suppressed his emotions; the Ruan Corporation, which was within reach, couldn’t be handed over to Shi He. After he made such a scene today, Ruan Zhimian would have to behave.
“Of course, I like you.”
The beautiful and soft beauty lowered his head, his tone icy as he unhesitatingly tore through Han He’an’s disguise.
“Stop acting.”
“Han He’an, let me tell you—I am unwilling.”
“Even if everyone in this world thinks how lucky it is for a Beta like me to marry you and that I should be grateful, I am still unwilling.”
Not far away, the cold and handsome black-clad Alpha approached. He extended his hand. “Shall we go?”
