Chapter 42 – Eat Dog Food
An Ji was too lazy to argue with him, so he just shouted: “Li Rong.”
Li Rong stretched out his hand, pulled An Ji directly behind him, and said, “Commissioner Yu, let me introduce you, this is my assistant.”
“Assistant?” Yu Zhengruan looked at An Ji critically, with disdain on his face, “You actually asked an omega to be your assistant? Such a sentimental, weak creature that only acts on instinct?”
An Ji rolled his eyes and asked Li Rong with his gaze: Can I curse at him?
Li Rong: Go ahead and let loose.
An Ji took a step forward, until he was almost right in front of Yu Zhengruan.

“What are you doing?” The latter immediately took a big step back vigilantly.
An Ji said, “Your mother is also an omega. Do you dare to talk to her like this?”
Yu Zhengruan: “…”
An Ji continued, “Or is it that when Commissioner Yu goes home, he verbally abuses his mother as a weak creature that only acts on instinct?”
Yu Zhengruan’s face turned blue and then white. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: “My mother is different from you!”
“Yes,” An Ji smiled instead of getting angry. “If she was like me, how could she give birth to a piece of heartless barbecued pork like you?”
“You-!” Yu Zhengruan was really angry. His eyebrows were drawn together until they looked like one furry caterpillar. The few police officers around were so scared that they didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
It’s over, it’s over. The commissioner was going to fight with them!
Just when the little* police officer thought a fight was going to break out, Yu Zhengruan took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said in a cold voice, “Bring them inside and give them all the investigation information!”
[*T/N: 小 xiao “little” – can mean young in age, small in stature, or low in status. In this case, the meaning is most likely the first and/or last one.]
“Yessir!” The little police officer clapped his heels together and stood up straight immediately.
Yu Zhengruan expression was as dark as hell. The little police officer took them to the conference room without even daring to breathe. An Ji, on the other hand, was considering the case and followed behind without saying a word. So much so that when he heard Li Rong’s apology, he raised his head in surprise.

“I’m sorry,” Li Rong said again. He thought that An Ji did not hear him the first time. Somewhat embarrassed, he explained, “Actually, there are still a small number of people like that, but there are many normal alphas too.”
An Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. Was Li Rong actually apologizing for Yu Zhengruan’s discrimination against omegas?
What kind of hidden treasure boy was this? Yu Zhengruan was the one who discriminated against him. Li Rong didn’t do anything wrong. There was no need for him to apologize.
An Ji’s smile was hearty and bright, like a rose waiting to bloom in the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Li Rong saw this sight and his face immediately turned red. He said in a small voice, “What is it?”
“I’m fine. That was just small potatoes*.” An Ji shook his head. “And you don’t have to apologize for him. If he really wants to apologize, he has to do it himself.”
[*T/N: Implying that he’s faced worse expressions of discrimination, and Yu Zhengruan’s actions were minuscule compared to those incidents.]
An Ji was not saying this to be polite. He really didn’t take it to heart. He has seen too many people who discriminate against omegas. This type of chauvinistic alpha was more common than ever.
In the early years, he would feel aggrieved when others said this to him, and he would stumble over his words trying to explain that omegas were not the kind of people they thought.
But the more life experiences he got, the more he understood that one a prejudice was formed, it was difficult to change. Instead of holding on to the slightest idea of changing the other party, it was better to directly prove it with facts.

An Ji touched the top of Li Rong’s head, as if rewarding a sensible child, “You are such a good person.”
“…”
“I’m not a good person,” Li Rong frowned, slightly losing his temper. “I’m not good at all.”
An Ji straightened Li Rong’s hair again and said with a smile: “What are you afraid of? I’m not giving you a good person card.”
Not a good person card…
Li Rong’s movements stagnated, and his face turned red again.
The police officer leading the way: “…”
Not only do I have to work overtime with you all night, but I also have to eat your Supreme Royal Dog Food?
