Chapter 37: Shocking Battlefield Scene?!
“It’s a group of people.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Shen Zhuo hung up the phone and leaned against the hospital room door.
He glanced at the bed where Liang Yeta had just been transferred out of the ICU and was still unconscious.
Liang Yeta’s father was not in the local area, and he couldn’t make it in half a day, only his mother – a B-rank female omega.
She was lying on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
Liang Yeta’s gland couldn’t be saved.
That slash had directly cut his gland deeply.
It was done with great expertise.
His legs and bones were also severed by the dagger.
It will probably take about a year of rehabilitation before he can walk again.
Just now, Du Xun had called to say he could find the identities of those people.
They were the same 19 alphas who tested with him this morning –
Gland hunters from an underground gland trafficking syndicate.
Someone had hacked the test roster and replaced the personnel photos, allowing them to brazenly enter the test.
After losing 19 people in their match with him, they also infiltrated Liang Yeta’s test.
The 19 gland hunters who fought against him collectively committed suicide using the toxin in their teeth.
The ones who injured Liang Yeta are now missing.
“At the end of the day, he ended up like this because of me.”
These people were arranged by Xun Qing.
This was a conspiracy aimed at him.
But for some reason, Liang Yeta was also included in it.
Facing the lollipop Ai Li handed over, Shen Zhuo’s voice was somewhat heavy.
Ai Li patted him on the back.
“The bastard is Xun Qing, what does it have to do with you? He’ll be transferred to Akhesus soon, where the gland treatment is the best, don’t worry.”
Ai Li couldn’t say he liked this former teammate who had been rude.
But his attitude has changed a lot these past two days.
He’s not as hateful anymore.
“Shen… Zhuo…”
A faint voice suddenly came from the bed.
Shen Zhuo looked up and saw Liang Yeta weakly raising his hand towards him.
Just as Shen Zhuo was about to approach him, Ai Li suddenly felt a sense of oppression behind him.
Turning around, he was immediately stunned by the newcomer.
The person gestured “don’t speak” and walked past Ai Li into the room.
By the bedside, Shen Zhuo looked down and met Liang Yeta’s gaze.
“I…”
“Don’t speak, just focus on recovering, you can come back.”
Shen Zhuo only made eye contact with his hand, without grasping it or dwelling on the gaze.
Liang Yeta let out a bitter laugh.
“You’re still so heartless… Shen Zhuo.”
Liang Yeta’s omega mother tactfully left the room, and when she saw the newcomer at the door, she thought it was a military officer and just slightly bowed her head.
The newcomer nodded back.
Ai Li quietly left the room with Liang Yeta’s mother, closing the door behind them.
Then he hid in a corner of the window, peering in.
What a battlefield scene!
“Why? Is there something about me that you don’t like, or is there something I’m not worthy of…”
Liang Yeta’s face was bitter: “Is he… really that good?”
“You won’t even give me a chance to get close to you…”
Liang Yeta became agitated, but the severe injury made him collapse back onto the bed.
Shen Zhuo looked at him, and after a while, slowly spoke:
“You like Xun Qing because you haven’t seen through him.”
“It’s the same with liking me.”
The young man’s eyelashes were long, and when they fell, they curled up slightly, like butterfly wings.
It’s just that his gaze was too detached, as if facing a stranger.
“You don’t understand me, don’t know what kind of person I am, and don’t understand what I want.”
“You just give me everything you want to give me, regardless of whether I need it or not.”
“But he’s different.”
The young man’s voice gained some warmth:
“Everything he’s done shows that he respects my decisions immensely.”
He looked at Liang Yeta, one word at a time, extremely serious: “You want me to be your omega.”
“But he only wants me to be myself.”
Liang Yeta held back for a while.
Finally, he deflated completely, lying back on the bed.
He stared at the pale ceiling, slowly forcing out a self-mocking smile.
“I see.” He said, “From childhood, I’ve always been like this, able to buy whatever I want, but that doesn’t seem to make people genuinely like me.”
“I seem to not have learned how to love someone properly.”
“I always feel that to love him, I have to push away everything he doesn’t like, and give him everything I have.”
“Now I realize, it’s not like that.”
Liang Yeta managed a bitter smile:
“I’m sorry, Shen Zhuo… all this time…”
At this moment, a deep voice interjected:
“It’s not something that can be learned, when the time comes, the right person will appear.”
Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows and turned around, only to be enveloped in a hug with the scent of rosemary.
“Regarding this malicious injury incident, I will arrange for people to investigate quickly and give you an account.”
The man in the black military uniform was solemn and majestic.
The cold gray hawk-like eyes brought the entire situation under control.
In contrast to the man’s nonchalant tone.
Liang Yeta almost jumped up, but was immediately drenched in cold sweat due to the pain in his gland.
He recognized the shoulder insignia.
Only one person had that shoulder insignia.
“Commander… General.” Liang Yeta’s lips were trembling.
Du Xun nodded slightly:
“Rest well, you can enroll again next year.”
Liang Yeta’s face turned deathly pale.
He saw Du Xun’s hand resting on Shen Zhuo’s waist.
“Is he… your alpha?”
Shen Zhuo curled his lips, silently confirming.
Liang Yeta was incredulous, his features distorted.
After a long silence, he felt that there was no one more worthy than the supreme Commander.
In the end, Liang Yeta put on his Young Master Liang airs and cursed the two of them out.
Mother Liang outside efficiently paid compensation with money.
Shen Zhuo did not accept it.
Ai Li said he would go back first.
Outside the room, Du Xun was silent for a long time, just caressing the young man’s palm.
He didn’t speak or leave.
Shen Zhuo finally broke the silence, softly telling the man his thoughts:
“This was Xun Qing’s doing, but he couldn’t have guaranteed so many gland hunters by himself, and he couldn’t have hacked the military academy’s roster either.”
“There are people behind him, and it’s possible not just one, Ares may also have been infiltrated.”
“Mm, I’ve already sent people to investigate, the results will come soon.”
Du Xun was much taller than Shen Zhuo.
But when facing the young man, he never needed him to look up.
The tall figure bent down slightly, allowing Shen Zhuo to easily see the alpha’s slightly trembling eyes.
Shen Zhuo suddenly realized why Du Xun didn’t watch him from outside the testing field.
The observation deck above the field was the closest to the field.
He could have intervened the fastest.
“I don’t dare to think about it.”
Suddenly, he heard the alpha’s voice.
Very low.
The end of the sentence even trembled slightly undetectably.
【I’m so scared.】
“If you were the one on that bed.”
【If I couldn’t save you.】
“What would I do?”
【I would go mad.】
For a moment, Shen Zhuo didn’t know how to respond to this overwhelming emotion.
His alpha was always worrying.
To the extent that it exceeded normal levels.
Shen Zhuo grasped the alpha’s hand and placed it on his heart.
“Believe in me.”
The warm, rhythmic pulsing.
Allowing Du Xun’s heart to synchronize with the same frequency.
“I won’t be so easily harmed.”
Shen Zhuo comfortingly released his pheromones to soothe the agitated rosemary scent:
“I now have the ability to protect myself.”
“And I believe you will protect me.”
Du Xun closed his eyes.
Shen Zhuo heard a whispered: 【I want to hug you.】
The young man then gently laughed and tiptoed, initiating an embrace.
Du Xun hesitated for a moment.
Then he enveloped the omega in his arms.
Very tightly.
Like holding an easily lost precious treasure.
“I know you’re the best of all, I saw it.”
Just then, Shen Zhuo caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
He looked up.
Xun Qing was running towards them, with a gloomy-faced Feng Ming following behind.
