Chapter 55 – Li Rong Can’t* (20.1)

[*T/N: The chapter title in Chinese is 李戎不行. The first part “李戎” is Li Rong. The second part “不行” translates into “can’t, no good, won’t do, not capable.” It also has the connotation of a man not being to get it up. “It” as in his meat stick.]

The point was not whether his clothes would get dirty or not, the point was that An Ji was going to use his hands… wu…

Just imagining it made Li Rong feel hot all over. Li Rong buried his face in his palms, and the tips of his ears were as red as ripe cherries.

What happened to An Ji? Why did he suddenly become so proactive? Of course, this didn’t mean that Li Rong did not like it. On the contrary, he was so happy that he was afraid that An Ji was forced to be intimate with him…

The car drove slowly towards the palace. The air conditioner temperature in the car was set very low, but Li Rong’s face was abnormally flushed. He has very fair skin and today he was wearing a black suit very solemnly. Under the obvious color contrast, this pink was even more obvious.

Seeing Li Rong’s intense reaction, An Ji was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether the other party was shy or wanted to refuse.

It was just a simple exchange of pheromones. Last time, Li Rong helped him with his hands, so this time he wanted to help Li Rong with his hands. It was a fair and reasonable exchange in An Ji’s mind. But Li Rong suddenly had such a big reaction, which caused An Ji to be embarrassed. It gave him the feeling of being a dirty old man about to teach a little kid something bad.

An Ji was a person who paid great attention to efficiency. He asked again, “So do you want it or not?”

Li Rong’s breathing became a little faster. His palms were wet with sweat and his heart was beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

In this long silence, Li Rong’s Adam’s apple rolled heavily, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Want.”

An Ji rolled up his sleeves and about to get started, but he saw the pedestrians outside the window and came to a startled halt.

He asked uncertainly, “Although I know it’s unlikely, I still want to ask, is the window one-way?”

Li Rong gritted his teeth and said, “One-way.”

“Okay, good.” An Ji breathed a sigh of relief and brought his attention back to the inside of the car.

An Ji’s body shape and appearance were that of a standard omega: soft and harmless, like a flower that could be picked at will. But as long as you look into his eyes, you will find that under his soft appearance is an extremely strong person who talks the talk and walks the walk.

Fragile and strong, two completely opposite temperaments were perfectly combined in him.

Even now, Li Rong still has a strange sense of unreality, especially when An Ji touched his arm. Li Rong’s body suddenly tensed up. A sense of numbness spread all over his body.

“Can you really do it?” An Ji’s hand stopped in midair. “If you’re not used to it, then forget it? After all, there are other methods, but they’ll just be a little less effective.”

An Ji only wore a white shirt today. His skin was fair and his lips were rosy. When the afternoon sun shone on him, his whole body exuded a clean and refreshing smell. Such a clean person was asking Li Rong if he could do it.

A secret depravity took hold of Li Rong and he continued to fall into the abyss. He tightened his hands on his knees and said in a hoarse voice, “I can.”

His heartbeat became rapid again. He was full of momentum and ready to go.

Li Rong leaned back on the leather seat, feeling like his soul had turned into a string. And An Ji was the hand that pulled him, tightening and loosening, tightening and loosening…

From the universe to the stars, from protons to quarks, everything in the universe was gathered in these constantly shaking energy strings.

Li Rong closed his eyes, and his soul left his body little by little, wandering in this vast universe, watching the strings collide, merge, and finally form a new big wave.

Suddenly, there was a “snap” sound, and the archer loosened his grip, and his soul fell into a long tremor.

……

In the car, An Ji exhaled heavily. After cleaning up, he rubbed his limp wrist.

That took way too long. Compared to when Li Rong did it to him, this made him more tired…

An Ji lay on the chair and kicked Li Rong’s calf. “You handle the rest yourself. I’m taking a break.”

No one answered him, only waves of steady breathing came.

An Ji turned his head and gasped instantly.

What the heck, he fainted again???

Li Rong, you really can’t do it, right??!

Chapter 54 – I Will Help You With My Hands

“What’s the meaning of reserved? Can you eat that thing?*” Li Xiangxin thought Li Rong was talking about An Ji, so she rolled her eyes and said indignantly, “Our An Ji-gege is using his video to call on omegas to break through social prejudices and their own limitations.”

[*T/N: “What’s the meaning of ____? Can you eat that thing?” You often see this sentence pattern in media and it’s used to express that the ____ concept in question is meaningless to the speaker if it can’t do something practical like fill up one’s belly.]

“An Ji-gege?” Li Rong narrowed his eyes unhappily. “You were just calling him sister-in-law.”

Li Xiangxin replied, “Oh, I now declare that you are not worthy of him.”

“Very good,” Li Rong laughed instead of being angry, “Your interstellar travel this year is ruined.”

Li Xiangxin: “…”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Backed into a corner like his, the little princess called out “sister-in-law” in humiliation. Only then did Li Rong let her off the hook.

An Ji came to his house for afternoon tea. Li Rong was even more nervous than the two ladies.

The afternoon tea was arranged in a sunny greenhouse, and the food and decorations were all arranged by the host. Li Rong followed Liao Yunyan around like a little tail, sometimes shuffling the flower arrangements around, sometimes adjusting the tablecloth, and he even dropped the dessert made by Li Xiangxin on the ground.

Liao Yunyan, who could no longer bear it, kicked him out: “Don’t come any closer, get out, and go pick him up!”

Before leaving, Li Rong was still worried and he told the little princess, ”Li Xiangxin, remember, when An Ji comes later, don’t talk nonsense, don’t call him sister-in-law, and don’t look at him like a fangirl!” While Li Xiangxin hissed up a storm at him, he slipped out of the palace.

At the An family’s residence, An Ji walked of the door and saw Li Rong right away. He was standing there and waving at him.

The temperature was still high in August. Li Rong was standing under the shade of a tree while dressed in a suit. When he saw An Ji come out of the house, he immediately smiled widely. His white teeth flashed in the sun.

An Ji couldn’t help but speed up his pace. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Li Rong opened the car door. “It’s okay, I just got here too.”

The car drove slowly towards the palace. The space inside the car was not narrow, but in the sealed environment, An Ji could not help but smell a hint of fir wood, mixed with the refreshing grapefruit representing the summer atmosphere. It was Li Rong’s pheromones, which made him feel at ease.

An Ji leaned over and took a few sniffs without making a sound, with a vigilant look like a cat stealing fish.

However, after smelling the pleasant scent, he immediately narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, as if anyone could scratch his belly.

An Ji smelled Li Rong’s pheromones. He looked contented and satisfied with the scent…

Upon realizing this, Li Rong felt something wrong with himself. His heartbeat was completely out of his control. It felt like his heart would beat out of his chest.

What does he want to do? Could it be that he likes me? Does my pheromones make him like me? If I let him smell my pheromones every day, will he agree to be with me?

A mess of thoughts whirled through his head. Li Rong’s breathing became a bit shallow and his face flushed abnormally.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” An Ji suddenly asked.

“No,” Li Rong’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he explained, “I just feel a little dizzy. It might be too hot.”

“Is that so?” An Ji seemed a little disappointed, “I thought your pheromone disorder was acting up again.”

“Ah?” Li Rong didn’t react for a while.

“I thought I could treat you.” An Ji said. At this moment, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his elegant white neck was immersed in the collar of his shirt, leaving an ambiguous shadow that made people fantasize.

Treatment?

Did An Ji mean what Li Rong thought he meant? Was he going to do something similar to what he did in the garden that night?

Li Rong’s Adam’s apple rolled heavily and his gaze gradually darkened.

“I want you to give me treatment.” Li Rong heard himself say.

An Ji said, “But let’s not kiss this time, all right? We have to meet your family later and it’s not polite to have swollen lips for that.”

Li Rong lowered his eyes, with disappointment that he himself didn’t realize, he said, “Okay…”

An Ji said, “This time I’ll help you with my hands.”

With hands?

With hands!

Was he going to use his hands like that?

Li Rong’s mind turned blank in an instant and his emotions went on a volatile roller coaster ride. It took him several minutes to come back to his senses. He stuttered out, “Ah… this… that… isn’t that… isn’t that going too fast?”

An Ji asked him, “You don’t want to?”

“No, no, I don’t mean that!” Li Rong denied and shook his head like a rattle. “I didn’t say I don’t want to!”

Then what was the reason? An Ji thought about it for a moment and then said, “I will be careful and won’t dirty your clothes.”

Li Rong: “!!!”

Chapter 53 – I Will Help You With My Hands 

There was still some time before the start of school, so An Ji continued to train at home, occasionally playing PK with others in the online fighting system. About a week later, he suddenly received an invitation from the empress, saying that she wanted to invite him to the palace for afternoon tea.

An Ji wiped his face with a towel and called Li Rong’s photon computer. “Your mother invited me to have afternoon tea?”

He had just finished training, his slender white neck was covered with sweat, and his whole body exuded a wet sexiness.

Li Rong’s eyes were fixed on the other person’s protruding Adam’s apple, and he was speechless for a moment.

An Ji stood up and asked as he walked out, “Are you listening?”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“Yes!” Li Rong stood up straight immediately. “My mother heard that you found the murderer of the rape case and she admires you very much. She wants to invite you to meet her. It’s just a casual afternoon tea. Don’t be nervous. Of course, if you are afraid and uncomfortable, you can refuse. There is no need to have psychological pressure. She is easy to talk to!”

An Ji gulped down a bottle of water and shook his head. He said, “No, I want to meet her, too.”

He wanted to meet the omega who grew up in the Republic. He wanted to meet the empress who supported the Omega Liberation Movement.

“Okay, I’ll pick you up then.” Li Rong hung up the phone with a rapid heartbeat.

“Brother! Brother! Has sister-in-law agreed?!” In the palace, a girl in a gorgeous princess dress was looking up at Li Rong, her big eyes full of anticipation.

“He agreed,” Li Rong suppressed his inner joy and said seriously, “When the time comes put away your starry-eyed infatuation, don’t call him sister-in-law casually, and don’t say weird things to scare him.”

“Of course I know!” The little princess spun around in a circle excitedly. Then she immediately picked up the external photon computer and said excitedly, “Wu wu wu wu*, sister-in-law is really handsome! I really want to marry him, ying ying ying**~”

[*T/N: 呜 wū – onomatopoeia for humming or whimpering]

[**T/N: 嘤 yīng – onomatopoeia for crying]

The photon brain was a communication and Internet access device placed inside the brain, similar to the combination of mobile phones and computers in ancient Earth. In order to protect the development of children’s brains, only adults over the age of eighteen can have the photon computer installed in their brain.

Minors like Li Xiangxin used external photon computers, which were retractable transparent screens. In its smallest form, they could be worn as a watch on the wrist, and in its largest form, they could be enlarged into a tablet computer.

At this moment, Li Xiangxin was holding a tablet computer, watching videos online with her eyes full of excitement.

“What nonsense are you watching all day long?” Li Rong confiscated her device, “Have you finished your summer homework? Hurry up and do your homework!”

“This is not nonsense.” Li Xiangxin snatched back the tablet computer and said seriously, “I’m calling my sister-in-law!”

Li Rong was confused, “What call?”

Li Xiangxin called him a dumb boor and explained kindly, “This is his homepage on StarNet. I have never seen a blogger whose fan count grows faster than his.”

Li Rong casually clicked on a video shot in a spacious and bright martial arts training ground. In the video, An Ji was wearing a close-fitting training suit and fighting with a muscular alpha coach.

He challenged the alpha again and again, and was thrown to the floor again and again. His eyelashes were clumped with sweat and droplets of sweat dripped down his chin.

“Again!”

“Again!”

“Again!”

Li Rong couldn’t tell what he felt. The video had ended, but An Ji’s appearance kept appearing in his mind. He flipped through the comments, and the netizens were much more straightforward than him.

In the empire, the aesthetic of beauty was fragility, so this kind of omega has never appeared in the eyes of the public before.

“Is this really an omega? He’s too cool!”

“Am I hallucinating? Even though he’s wrapped up tight throughout the video and there were no sexy movements or eyes, I still feel a sense of lust…”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

“+1 +1. So much so that I want to watch him get knocked down over and over again… It’s tragic, but also very sexy…”

“Watching an untouchable high flower get humiliated really gets me going! Give me a chance, please! I’ve even thought of names for our future children!”

Why were alphas so unreserved now? Li Rong frowned and clicked on some of the homepages with the boldest statements, and found that they were all omegas.

Omegas???

Li Rong’s frown deepened. “Why are omegas so unreserved now?”

Chapter 52 – I Will Help You With My Hands (19.1)

“I didn’t, I didn’t!” An Ning cried and screamed in the Imperial Royal Hospital, “Don’t ask me anymore! I really didn’t!”

“An Ning,” Xu Jing’an took a step forward and said patiently, “We just want to find out what happened that night. We didn’t unilaterally take An Can’s statement as truth. Didn’t we come to you to confirm it?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t!” An Ning shook his head, his tears falling down. “Why don’t you believe me? I’m already so miserable, why don’t you let me go? Are you happy only if I die?”

Xu Jing’an didn’t feel sad for him. Instead she asked, “Then why did you suddenly enter the estrus period?”

An Ning didn’t say anything, but he looked at her with his lips tightly pursed, and his eyes full of defensiveness.

“I understand now.” Xu Jing’an sighed and turned to leave.

“You don’t believe me?” An Ning grabbed her sleeve and said with a hurt expression.

“We found the inducer in your room,” Xu Jing’an shook her head in disappointment, her tone full of sighs, “I wanted to give you another chance, but you…”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

An Ning’s face turned pale in an instant. His lips trembled up and down. His expression shifted from surprised to flustered to embarrassed and finally turned into raging anger. An Ning stared at An Ji and squeezed out each word from between his teeth, “It’s all your fault.”

An Ji lowered his eyes to look at him. His face was expressionless.

“It’s all your fault, it’s your fault!!”

“If An Can hadn’t suddenly charged over, how could I have suddenly knocked over the blue medicine?” An Ning’s nails dug deep into his skin and he screamed with a piercing voice. “You should have been the one to go into heat, and you should have been the one to get raped!”

“An Ning!” Xu Jing’an’s pupils shrank rapidly. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

She used nearly all of her strength and a clear five-finger mark instantly appeared on An Ning’s face.

Xu Jing’an’s chest kept rising and falling greatly. Her tone became sharper and sharper. “Over the years, our An family has not treated you unfairly. How can you say such malicious words?”

“Malicious? Are you saying you’re some great saint?” An Ning raised his head and smiled strangely, “You raised me like a dog at home. Then after your biological sons came back, you relentlessly kicked me away. Do you still think you are so noble?”

Xu Jungian clenched her fists and after a long time she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, “Is that how you think of us?”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“How else [can I think of you]? If you people didn’t have money, who would be willing to bow their heads in front of you?” An Ning sneered and said disdainfully, “Do you think I don’t see your dislike for me? And I have to endure the disgust I feel to comfort you people, I’m completely fed up!”

Xu Jing’an closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling violently.

After a long silence, she finally opened her eyes. Her gaze was calm and firm. An Yanming held her arm, silently supporting his wife’s decision.

“We have treated you with extreme benevolence and did our utmost duty to care for you over the years, but you have hurt others time and again just to satisfy your own desires.” Xu Jing’an pronounced the verdict, her cold expression reminiscent of the pile of ashes left after the firewood was extinguished. “We will support you until you finish college, but we will no longer be your adoptive parents.”

“From henceforth, you are on your own.”

……

Xu Jing’an rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room house for An Ning in the city center. After paying the rent for four years, she sent someone to pack up all of An Ning’s belongings. But An Ning did not go to the house after he was discharged from the hospital, and no one knew where he went.

At the same time, the police department forwarded the rape case to the court and it entered the trial process. He Guangzong still refused to admit to the crime. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that he was forced.

Another piece of news that An Ji did not expect was that the aristocratic omegas cancelled all gatherings during this period. In the following month, the social omegas all stayed indoors. It was said that this was to protect the rights of the victim in the rape case.

In their words, an injured omega definitely would not want to go outdoors, so let’s all stay at home. That way, no one will know who was the victim.

They were so naive that it was cute.

An Ji didn’t like socializing, so it didn’t matter to him whether there were such rules or not.

Chapter 51 – Case Solved 

Xu Jing’an was furious and was about to hit him again, but An Ji stopped her.

Xu Jing’an looked up in surprise. “You-”

“There’s no need to waste your anger on a scumbag.” An Ji stood in front of He Guangzong, his voice calm and almost cold.

“What, what do you want to do?” He Guangzong swallowed, subconsciously afraid of this overly beautiful person.

An Ji said in a steady voice: “Do you know what happens to rapists?”

“I didn’t rape him!” He Guangzong stressed again.

An Ji seemed to not have heard him and continued to speak, “First, you will be chemically castrated. Those two ounces of flesh that you used to rape someone will no longer have any reaction. Secondly, you will be sentenced to three to ten years in prison. Looking at your appearance, there will likely be a queue of prisoners waiting to top you.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“You f*cking-” He Guangzong’s eyes flushed red, and he wanted to rush over and leave a tooth mark on An Ji’s fair neck.

An Ji was completely unaware, and just said: “When the time comes, you will hear the assailant say that he was also forced, because who told you to be so beautiful?”

He Guangzong squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, “I* am an Alpha!”

[*T/N: He Guangzong uses 老子 here to refer to himself, which is an arrogant way of saying “I”]

“You think an alpha can’t be raped? In fact, those people in prison like good-looking alphas the most.” An Ji smiled brightly, like a bloody rose blooming in hell. “Isn’t it exciting that it’s an alpha? To see a lofty alpha crawling beneath you. Isn’t this precisely the thrill of conquering someone that you guys love so much?”

“It’s useless, you can’t scare me!” He Guangzong sneered, and suddenly an unprecedented sense of pride rose up, “I am the elite of the empire, I am the future of the country, no one dares to do anything to me.”

“Really?” An Ji took a step forward calmly, and then he suddenly punched He Guangzong in the abdomen.

He Guangzong: “!!”

Intense dull pain spread all over his body, as if his internal organs were crushed. He Guangzong knelt down in pain. His visions went dark and his saliva flowed out uncontrollably…

He Guangzong did not know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes, but he finally regained consciousness. He staggered to his feet and said word by word: “Police, I want to sue him for causing personal injury just now.”

“Ah? What did you say? Personal injury? How did he hurt you?” Zhou Tao looked up with a confused look on his face, “I was counting ants just now. Sorry, I didn’t see it happen.”

He Guangzong: “…”

This fucking…!

He Guangzong was taken back to the police station. After listening to their deduction, Yu Zhengruan’s expression became distorted, and it was even paler than a little girl’s face after applying foundation.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

He has always been proud and conceited, but he didn’t expect to be metaphorically slapped in the face by an omega, the sex that he despised the most.

Yu Zhengruan let An Can out of the police station with a tight expression. When he passed by An Ji, he whispered: “Sorry…”

“What did you say?” An Ji stopped and smiled gently, “Sorry, I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”

“I said…” Yu Zhengruan took a deep breath. It was as if resistance was written into every strand of hair on his body, but he said word by word, “I’m sorry, I was negligent in this case!”

An Ji said, “Oh.”

Yu Zhengruan: “…”

But there was still one thing he didn’t understand.

“Why were your skin flakes in the victim’s nails?”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

“Because he and I had a conflict in the garden,” An Can glanced at Yu Zhengruan, “Do you know why I said An Ning reaped what he had sown*?”

Yu Zhengruan shook his head.

Xu Jing’an and An Yanming raised their heads at the same time. A terrible suspicion came to their minds.

An Can said, “He used the inducer he brought with him to force an estrus last night.”

Xu Jing’an stood up in surprise. “What?!”

An Can said, “An Ning originally intended to use the inducer on An Ji.”

[*T/N: Previously, in chapter 36, An Can said An Ning “deserved it” and he had used the word 活该 huógāi, which means “he deserved the bad thing that happened to him.” Here he used the phrase 自作自受 zìzuòzìshòu, which translates into the idiom “to reap what one has sown.” You can use 活该 huógāi for someone that you simply disdain for whatever reason (i.e. because you dislike them or disagree with their life choices) whereas 自作自受 zìzuòzìshòu has the clear meaning of he intended to do someone bad, but then his plans blew up in his face. It paints a very different picture, and the author probably purposely used these word choices to misdirect the reader and keep the suspense.]

Chapter 50 – Case Solved 

“He said he was forced.” Song Meng took a deep breath, as if even the memory made him feel sick, “After I proposed breaking up, he kept disagreeing, and finally he asked me to help him one last time.”

An Ji asked, “So he agreed to break up with you if you provide him with an alibi and say he was not in the garden?”

Song Meng nodded. “That’s what he said.”

An Ji said, “Unfortunately, you did not expect him to renege on his promise after you upheld your end of the bargain, and the scumbag came back the next day to continue pestering you.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Song Meng looked down. After a long while he stammered, “…I’m sorry.”

At this time, He Guangzong was still kneeling outside the door, unaware of anything.

He thought of himself as a male protagonist in a sadomasochistic novel*, thinking that as long as he was sincere enough, he could get his fiancé to change his mind.

[*T/N: 虐文 nüè wén – “sadomasochistic novel;” a type of literature that makes the reader feel sad while reading it. A sadomasochistic novel can have a good ending or a bad ending. As long as the journey to get to that ending is sufficiently sadistic towards the masochistic reader, then it counts as a sadomasochistic novel. Clearly, He Guangzong thinks he’s in the type of novel where he will get a happy ending after “suffering” enough.]

He never thought that Song Meng really wanted to break up with him. To him, omegas always say one thing and mean another. He believed the reason that Song Meng was so angry was just to vent his dissatisfaction about He Guangzong having intercourse with someone else.

Right now, he just needed to endure this humiliation in order to coax his wife back to his side. As for after they get married… Song Meng will have to bear it no matter how dissatisfied he is.

While He Guangzong knelt on the white jade steps, he daydreamed about the day he would become the head of the Song family and then he would go back to his hometown and shock everyone with how well-off he is.

As expected, he soon saw Song Meng coming out.

He Guangzong’s eyes lit up, and he felt that all his previous grievances were worth it, and he immediately rushed over: “Mengmeng! You finally forgive me!”

What greeted him was a cold police ID.

Zhou Tao stood in front of Song Meng. His baby face wore a solemn expression.

“He Guangzong, I am Zhou Tao, a junior police officer in the Operations Department of the Capital Star Police Department. I now suspect that you are related to a rape case. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation.”

He Guangzong’s smile froze on his face, and he looked over in surprise: “Mengmeng?”

Song Meng pursed his lips and did not answer him.

“You betrayed me?” He Guangzong’s eyes widened, “You clearly promised to keep the secret for me!”

Song Meng: “I’m just telling the truth.”

“Telling the truth? How can you be so cruel? You can even strike treacherously at your fiancé?” He Guangzong’s eyes flushed red. When he saw Li Rong beside Song Meng, he was suddenly stunned. Then he seemed to understand something and laughed suddenly.

Song Meng frowned: “What are you laughing at?”

“Ha, I knew it, you want to get rid of me so that you can climb the social ladder, but it’s useless. Even if you break off your engagement with me, no one will dare to marry you!” He Guangzong laughed, but his tone was extremely vicious. “All the nobles on Capital Star know that I slept with you! You’re a second-hand commodity, no one will dare to marry you!”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

“How could you be like this?!” How could a person be so shameless? Song Meng was so angry that he was shaking all over and tears came out. “Nothing happened between us at all. How could you say this about me?!”

He Guangzong narrowed his eyes: “It doesn’t matter what I say, what matters is that everyone will believe it.”

What a 24k scumbag…

Even Zhou Tao, a beta, couldn’t stand it anymore. He took out a pair of electronic handcuffs and threw it at He Guangzong. A faint blue light flashed, and the transparent electronic handcuffs directly tied He Guangzong’s hands to both sides of his body.

“It’s useless to arrest me. Even if I go in, you can’t sentence me. Hahahaha.” He Guangzong was wrapped up like a caterpillar, struggling and laughing. “The judge will stand on my side. He knows that I was forced. I was seduced by the omega in heat! I am the victim!”

“Seduced your mother!” Xu Jing’an took off her ten-centimeter tall high-heeled shoes and threw it at him. “An omega going into heat is not a reason for you to be a beast!”

“Pooh!” He Guangzong spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Xu Jing’an and said word by word, “If An Ning hadn’t cried and begged me to have sex with him, would I have even looked at him?”

Chapter 49 – Case Solved (18.1)

Hurry. Hurry.

Song Meng ran in the dim garden. His hair was messed up by branches and his hands were scratched by rose thorns, but he paid it no mind. His mind was filled with one thought only. He needed to find the omega in heat as soon as possible.

“Young Master, wait for me!” The gray-haired butler chased after him breathlessly.

He remembered that the location was just up ahead!

Song Meng turned a deaf ear to his butler and ran even faster than before. His calves were getting heavier and his throat was aching as if it was about to explode. Song Meng turned around the dense bushes and suddenly froze there.

In front of him, two bodies were tightly entangled. The omega in heat was wearing his cloak, and his exposed skin was a crude sight for Song Meng’s eyes. The alpha was wearing high-end formal attire that Song Meng had custom-ordered. Those lips that had once pledged undying love to him were now impatiently kissing the lips of another person.

An explosion went off in Song Meng’s head. He stared at this scene intently. His stomach churned and he retched violently.

Absolutely disgusting.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

How could such a disgusting thing happen?

Why did he have to see such a disgusting scene?

“Young Master!” The butler’s voice came from behind.

Song Meng suddenly returned to his senses. He was so shocked that he could hardly stay standing. He could only hold on to a tree branch tightly in panic.

He Guangzong was clutching the other omega’s waist. When he heard the butler’s voice, he raised his head. His brain, which was controlled by the heat, suddenly became clear and the flush on his face disappeared instantly.

“Mengmeng?” He Guangzong’s eyes widened, and his face was full of visible fear.

Song Meng stood there motionlessly, watching everything coldly. He felt as if his soul had drifted away from his body, leaving only an empty shell.

He Guangzong’s body was shaking like he was having an epileptic seizure. He recklessly rushed over to hug Song Meng, but he forgot that he had knotted inside the omega, and when he pulled out hard, not only did he fail to extricate himself, but he also screamed in pain.

At the same time, the butler caught up to Song Meng. He was gasping for breath as he asked, “Have you found the person?”

“I went the wrong way.” Song Meng turned away coldly, blocking the butler’s sight. “We should take that road.”

……

“Mengmeng! I was wrong! Please don’t ignore me, okay?” Five minutes later, He Guangzong knelt in front of Song Meng, begging him with a sad look on his face.

Song Meng immediately shook off his hand: “Let me go! We’ve broken up!”

“I thought he was you! It’s true! Please believe me.” He Guangzong chased after him on his knees, anxiously saying, “It was so dark in the garden, he was wearing the same clothes as you, and he was also in heat. I thought it was you. I’ve begged you so many times, you finally agreed to give yourself to me, I was so happy, I just… I couldn’t restrain myself…”

“He Guangzong!” Song Meng slapped him, shaking with anger. “If you have any brains, you would know that I won’t seduce you in a garden opened to other people!”

“Then why did you ask me to go to the garden so late at night?”

“I…” Song Meng was full of resentment, but after seeing He Guangzong’s face, it turned into deep disgust.

Forget it, it didn’t matter anymore.

Bang. Bang.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed above their heads, and the dazzling sparks fell like shooting stars, attracting countless people to stop and watch.

However, Song Meng strode out without looking up.

Originally, he had wanted to invite He Guangzong into the garden to watch the fireworks together…

“F*ck, this old lady is so mad! What kind of scumbag is this? It would’ve been fine if it was you?”

In the living room of the Song family, Xu Jing’an was so angry after hearing the whole story that she cursed.

“Normal people would rush the omega to a hospital if they see one in heat, but he just took of his pants and mounted the omega? What a beast.”

An Ji frowned and asked, “So you also helped He Guangzong by creating a false testimony?”

Chapter 48 – You’ve Got The Wrong Person 

“He’s not sincere in pursuing his wife,” Li Rong, as an Alpha with rich experience in pursuing his wife, thinks he has the right to speak, “Under normal circumstances, to apologize, to win back, to pursue his wife, to show sincerity, generally speaking, the more miserable the better, but he still has time to take a shower and change clothes before coming over.”

“That’s fine, isn’t it?” Zhou Tao also joined the conversation. “If I want to win someone back, I must leave a good impression on them.”

Li Rong’s eyes were immediately filled with pity, and he said, “Xiao Zhou*, you have never dated anyone, right?”

[*T/N: “Xiao” is used an a diminutive and added to the front of Zhou Tao’s surname to form a nickname of sorts.]

Zhou Tao scratched his head stupidly, and asked, ”How do you know?”

“Because couples who have been together for a long time are already very familiar with each other’s appearance, so it is difficult to impress each other with stunning looks. And if I show up looking very glamorous and beautiful, doesn’t it mean that I can live well without you? Who will be softhearted when they see that?”

“So it’s actually like that!” Zhou Tao looked as if he had suddenly seen the light.

Li Rong continued, “At this time, it’s more important to play the emotional card, pretend to be pitiful, or show sincerity. The more miserable I am, the more I care about the other person. This is the correct way to win back my lover.”

Zhou Tao suddenly realized something and felt that something was wrong: “…But why are you so proficient at this?”

Li Rong: “…”

Fortunately, An Ji was still thinking about the case and didn’t notice their conversation.

Li Rong’s words were correct. For normal people who wanted to win back their partner, they would not show up looking so glamorous, but He Guangzong’s attitude of trying to get back together did not seem fake.

Why was that?

Could something have happened last night that forced him to shower and change clothes?!

There was indeed something fishy with He Guangzong!

No, it should be Song Meng had lied too!

Ten minutes later, An Ji and Li Rong appeared in the Song family’s living room again.

“Is there something else you need?” Song Meng glanced at them and seemed to be too lazy to deal with them.

An Ji asked, “Your relationship with He Guangzong is pretty good, right?”

Song Meng was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head: “I don’t want to talk about him.”

“Then let me re-phrase my question.” An Ji leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His sharp eyes pierced directly into Song Meng’s eyes, “Why do you want to break up?”

Song Meng’s face flashed with an unnatural look, but his good manners prevented him from getting up and chasing them away. He just said, “This matter should have nothing to do with solving the case.”

An Ji pressed, “Since the two of you are engaged, why do you suddenly want to break up?”

“It’s just that our personalities don’t match.” Song Meng obviously didn’t want to continue, and his tone became cold. “If there is nothing else, please leave. I feel a little uncomfortable and need to rest.”

An Ji stood up and said sternly: “Does your conscience feel good if you make up false evidence to cover up the crime and let He Guangzong go unpunished?!”

Song Meng was instantly frozen in place, with an expression of shame and embarrassment on his face. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his teeth: “What do you mean? I know nothing.”

Song Meng sat with his back ramrod straight. His hands were folded atop his thighs. His gaze fixed firmly on An Ji’s brows, as if he were an unattainable goddess, exuding an inviolable aura from head to toe.

Unfortunately for him, An Ji sent him back to hell with just one sentence.

“Did you really not see An Ning after you went back?”

Song Meng’s face turned pale instantly.

He felt as if he had returned to the dark garden last night.

In his mind’s eyes, Song Meng could see the other omega’s flowery white thighs flash in front of him. It was as if the sound of heavy breathing was still ringing in his ears. Song Ming stood behind the flower, watching his fiancé acting like a mad dog. He was pressing down the omega and piercing him without a care.

Just thinking about it made him feel sick. He sat there as if his soul had been sucked out, and even the color on his lips had faded completely.

After a long silence, Song Meng slowly spoke, his voice hoarse: “He said he just got the wrong person…”

Chapter 47 – You’ve Got The Wrong Person

“Let me see… he did!” Zhou Tao opened the holographic video in midair and said excitedly, “After 8:30, he and Song Meng went into the garden one after another, and came out together at 9:05.”

“Rewind. Go back a little… stop!” An Ji pointed at the camera. “So Song Meng was in high spirits when he went in, but when he came out, his expression was extremely unnatural, and he refused when He Guangzong wanted to hug him.”

“This is very normal, isn’t it?” Zhou Tao blinked his eyes. “Didn’t Song Meng meet the victim? He must’ve been scared.”

“It’s not very normal.” An Ji shook his head. “If Song Meng was scared, he should need the comfort of his close ones instead of rejecting He Guangzong. So I am more inclined to think that… something happened in those thirty minutes that caused a break in their relationship.”

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Zhou Tao’s eyes suddenly widened, and with an expression like Sherlock Holmes possessed his body, he said, “Could it be that He Guangzong committed atrocities against the victim in the garden, Song Meng found out and wanted to break up, so He Guangzong rushed here hoping to get back together?!”

“Unlikely,” Li Rong shook his head. “If He Guangzong had any brains, he would not give up such a good fiancée and take a huge risk by raping an omega.”

Zhou Tao scratched his head and asked, “Then what’s the reasoning?”

“But their breakup should have been affected by the rape case,” Li Rong turned to An Ji and asked, “What do you think of this rape case?”

An Ji didn’t know why he suddenly asked this, and instinctively said, “This is too vile. The criminal must be brought to justice.”

Li Rong said, “What id I say that this omega deserved it? Who told him to go into heat? The alpha was also forced to do it?”

An Ji narrowed his eyes: “Do you want to die?”

“Look, that’s it,” Li Rong turned to Zhou Tao and said, “This kind of sensitive topic is easy to cause a quarrel. If An Ji and I were a couple, he might have broken up with me by now.”

“…”

Zhou Tao’s focus had already went off on a tangent. Wait, so you’re not a couple?! You’re not a couple, but you’re feeding me so much dog food!

An Ji stared at the surveillance footage in silence, but something was still wrong. What was that lingering weird feeling?

“Play the conversation video again.”

In that small interrogation room, He Guangzong responded to Yu Zhengruan’s inquiries with an impatient look. He was wearing a custom-made suit with sparkling diamond cufflinks, looking even more stylish than Li Rong, who was born into a royal family.

Zhou Tao was almost blinded by the diamonds on his body, and couldn’t help but sigh. He said, “Studying can change one’s destiny, the ancients were right. Now it doesn’t look like he was born on a poor planet.”

“Change what destiny?” Xi Jing’an said disdainfully. “His outfit was all paid for by Song Meng, including the one he wore just now, otherwise with his salary…”

“Wait!” An Ji suddenly caught something, “You said he wasn’t wearing the same outfit?”

“Of course not. Although they are both black suits, you can’t simply treat them as the same.” Madam Xu Jing’an’s rich fashion knowledge was not to be questioned by anyone. She explained with a serious face, “The suit he wore last night was ultra formal. It is very formal in terms of shape and material, suitable for banquets, weddings and other grand occasions. And this morning’s suit is Diror’s suit, which is similar in shape but simpler in design. Compared with last night’s suit, it is more suitable for all-weather wear.”

An Ji shook his head. “That’s not right…”

“What’s wrong?” Xi Jing’an widened her eyes. “I’ll find you an etiquette teacher to teach you and you’ll know.”

“Isn’t he here to chase his wife?” An Ji frowned, “Then how come he has time to change his clothes before coming?”

Chapter 46 – You’ve Got The Wrong Person (17.1)

Li Rong opened the car control panel, ready to let the young policeman, who had never seen the world, experience the advantages of the A-class license plate. Unfortunately, his limited edition car worth tens of millions of star coins was ruthlessly blocked by a red car before it could even drive half a meter.

“An Ji!”

The door to the red car opened and Xu Jing’an walked out with an anxious face. She was still wearing the dress she wore last night and she hadn’t taken off her makeup. As soon as the car stopped, she lifted her skirts and ran over.

“What’s wrong?” An Ji swallowed the last bite of the apple.

“You little rascal. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?” Xu Jungian held his hand and chattered. “I only found out from An Yao this morning that An Can was taken to the police station as a suspect.”

An Ji: “I thought you guys were busy…”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

“No matter how busy I am, I won’t ignore An Can!” Xu Jing’an said with an annoyed expression, “I was really anxious last night and didn’t have time to pay attention to An Can. Now your father has gone to the police department to see if he can take An Can home first. Is it human to detain someone in the police station before they are certain he is the culprit? And the question you told me to ask yesterday, An Ning said he didn’t see what the other person looked like.”

An Ji nodded, not surprised by the answer.

“Why is He Guangzong kneeling there?” It was not until now that Xu Jing’an saw the familiar figure at the entrance of the Song family.

An Ji asked, “Do you know him?”

“I know about him. He’s famous for turning from a sparrow into a phoenix after flying to a high branch*.” Xu Jing’an couldn’t stand this kind of cunning, soft rice** alpha, and she looked at the man with disdain. “He chased after Song Meng for three whole years before succeeding and now they’re engaged.”

[*T/N: “turning into a phoenix after flying to a high branch” is a Chinese saying that describes someone who married above their social class (and now thinks they’re all that). It’s often used in a derogatory or mocking manner.]

[**T/N: “soft rice man” (in this story it’s “soft rice alpha”) is a man who uses a woman for her money/status/material gains. Sometimes there’s a sexual exchange. Sometimes the man is just very good at playing with her emotions.]

Engaged? But just now Song Meng only said that the other party was his ex-boyfriend.

An Ji then asked, “Are they very affectionate towards each other?”

Xi Jing’an shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, but it’s probably okay.”

“Then the likelihood of breaking off the engagement after getting engaged should be very low, right?”

“Of course. The purpose of an engagement is to aim for marriage. The nobility care about face* the most. They won’t renege on an engagement unless it’s something major like a violation of principles.”

[*T/N: The Chinese concept of “face” is a nuance matter that includes aspects like reputation, honor, status, duty, responsibility, etc.]

“That’s strange,” An Ji frowned, “Then why did they break up?”

“Ha, it’s good that they broke up,” Xu Jing’an laughed dryly. “Maybe that Song family child found out about his true colors. In my opinion, this kind of man should have been kicked out long ago! He even said that after he marries Song Meng, everything in the Song family will be his. Bah, keep daydreaming!”

An Ji suddenly grasped onto some idea and said to the police officer beside him, “Xiao Ming, help me find out why they broke up.”

The police officer said, “…My name is not Xiao Ming! My name is Zhou Tao!

An Ji smiled vaguely, “Zhou Tao, please help me find out why they broke up.”

Never before had such a good-looking omega smiled at him. Zhou Tao’s face flushed immediately, and he was so excited that he seemed to have taken an adrenaline shot. While Li Rong’s car, the one with the A-class license plate of A000009, was still stuck in the wealthy suburb, Zhou Tao had already retrieved all the information about He Guangzong.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

“He Guangzong, he came from Chinese Cabbage Village, which is located in the Vegetable Town of Grain Star*. His parents have five daughters. They only got a son on their sixth child, which is him. Whoa, dude. He’s also an ultra college tyrant**. He was admitted to the Imperial University with top scores in Grain Star. During his time at school…”

[*T/N: “Chinese Cabbage Village / Vegetable Town / Grain Star”… I seriously did not make this up. The author’s naming sense is rather straightforward. Lol.]

[**T/N: 学霸 school tyrant is someone who is really good at academics. The text specified 大学霸, which is a school tyrant in college. It’s a positive term.]

An Ji cut in, “Get to the point.”

Zhou Tao immediately changed course and said, “Song Meng and him attended the empress’s birthday banquet hand in hand last night, but they broke up in the early morning. He Guangzong said he waited for Song Meng all night, so they must have broken up last night.”

An Ji asked, “Did He Guangzong go to the garden last night?”

“Let me see…”
