Chapter 10: Who the Hell Stole My Home!
Shen Chi ate until he was completely full. In the end, after the banquet ended, it was Lu Chenzhou who had the driver personally send him home.
The old residential area had dim streetlights.
Shen Chi looked at Lu Chenzhou’s luxury car worth tens of millions and did not dare let it drive inside. If it got scratched, he could not afford to pay for it.
“Driver, just stop outside. The roads inside aren’t easy to drive on.”
The driver did not respond. Instead, he looked through the rearview mirror at his boss.
“Stop the car.”
Lu Chenzhou’s hoarse voice sounded, and only then did the driver smoothly step on the brake.
Along the way, Shen Chi had not felt any bumpiness at all. When he got out of the car, he even thanked him very sincerely.
He was not someone who understood nothing. His boss was still inside the car, lowering himself to send him home. How could Shen Chi just get out, pat his butt, and leave?
So, he stood at the intersection with a light smile on his face. “Goodbye, President Lu.”
Through the car window, under the dim lighting, Shen Chi’s appearance looked somewhat blurred.
The car fell silent again. Lu Chenzhou’s face was hidden in the darkness. He looked at Shen Chi and once again thought of what had happened in a certain alley in this place.
That night, heavy rain had been falling. His pheromone disorder had thrown him into a frenzy. His chaotic memories made it impossible for him to distinguish anyone. He only remembered that sweet, addictive pheromone scent.
The fruity fragrance had been very faint. One bite had not been enough to satisfy him at all.
If he had not been careless, if that little Omega had not been so capable, then that night, he would definitely have completely marked his Omega.
His obscure gaze swept over Shen Chi, who was still standing at the intersection. He was wearing the suit Lu Chenzhou had prepared for him, like some young master who had run away from home. He was completely out of place in this rundown area. For a brief moment, Lu Chenzhou darkly wanted to drag him back into the car…
Perhaps it was the instinct of a beast. Even though Lu Chenzhou had not recognized him, he was still uncontrollably drawn to him.
Without his instruction, the driver did not dare step on the accelerator at all. He gripped the steering wheel fearfully. After a long while—so long that even Shen Chi at the intersection tilted his head in confusion—Lu Chenzhou finally reacted.
The phone screen lit up faintly. Looking at the latest message, Lu Chenzhou said coldly, “Drive.”
Only after the luxury car finally disappeared from his sight did Shen Chi pat his cheeks, which had gone a little stiff from smiling. “Is there something wrong with Lu Chenzhou? The car stopped there for so long.”
The system said lazily, [Maybe he remembered that someone hit him last time. Isn’t he looking for some Omega?]
The moment this was mentioned, Shen Chi became interested. “Speaking of that, that little Omega is seriously impressive. Right, do you have any information? One piece of information is worth five million.”
As he spoke, Shen Chi dragged his exhausted body and finally returned to his shabby little room. But when he stood at his own door, he stared at the tightly shut door and suddenly stopped.
The system asked, [What’s wrong?]
Shen Chi said, “Something’s not right.”
The system asked, [What’s not right?]
Shen Chi took out his key. With a click, the sound of the door unlocking rang out in the dark corridor.
He pushed open the door and turned on the switch by the entrance. The light instantly illuminated the entire small room. The room looked neat and tidy, but Shen Chi strode straight toward his bedroom.
The system asked, [What’s wrong?]
Shen Chi frowned. “I think I smelled other scents inside the room. And…” He hesitated for a moment. “The smell is very mixed.”
As he spoke, following those messy scents, he finally stopped in front of the wardrobe.
The wardrobe had been left behind by the landlord. It was ordinary and also rather old.
The original owner was very poor and had very few clothes. So when Shen Chi opened the wardrobe, he quickly discovered that two sets of his clothes were missing.
Not only him, even the system noticed it.
[Eh? That worn-out T-shirt you sleep in seems to be gone.]
Shen Chi stared at the wardrobe that had not been messed up, his expression very ugly. “Not just that.”
The system asked, [What else?]
Shen Chi took a deep breath. He also found it somewhat hard to say. “Under…wear!”
The original owner had only four pairs in total. Including the one Shen Chi was wearing, there should have been three pairs left. Now, only two remained in the wardrobe.
Shen Chi liked cleanliness. His things were always placed neatly together. There was no possibility that he had thrown them around randomly.
The system was shocked. [The legendary underwear thief? But you’re male…]
Before it could finish speaking, the system looked at Shen Chi’s face, which was flushed red with anger, red and delicate enough to drip, and fell silent.
With that face, what did gender matter?
[What do we do now?]
Shen Chi gritted his teeth. “I can only earn money and move.”
The original owner was too poor. This place had all kinds of people mixed together. He could not afford surveillance cameras, and he did not even have the money to change the lock.
For now, the only thing he could do was endure it. He would endure until his salary was paid next month, then rent somewhere else.
But…
“I can set up a few simple traps at home. Even if I can’t kill him, I won’t let him have an easy time!”
—
Elsewhere.
Inside an elegant and luxurious house, a subordinate delivered to Lu Chenzhou what he wanted.
Inside the exquisite box, the subordinate handled everything carefully, as though it contained some priceless treasure.
“President Lu, when we left, we did not damage anything inside the room.”
Lu Chenzhou nodded casually, then opened the box.
If Shen Chi were here, he would definitely be extremely shocked.
The things he had lost had actually appeared in Lu Chenzhou’s hands.
Even though he had done something sneaky and shameful, there was not the slightest tension on Lu Chenzhou’s handsome face.
“Got it. You may leave.”
He lazily took the box. The items had not been away from Shen Chi’s home for long, and they were still stained with Shen Chi’s unique scent.
As a Beta, Shen Chi did not have any special pheromones. What this piece of clothing carried was merely the fresh scent of laundry detergent after being dried in the sun. Yet for some unknown reason, Lu Chenzhou, who had always detested other people’s scents, strangely did not dislike it.
In the past, Lu Chenzhou would never have imagined that he would do such a crazy thing.
The moment he left the banquet, he had ordered his subordinate to go to Shen Chi’s home and take a set of his clothes. Lu Chenzhou was not a good person, but he considered himself absolutely not a pervert.
Yet at this moment, he was not only tolerating someone else’s shabby clothes appearing in his home, he had even picked them up…
Like countless Alphas during their nesting period, he actually wanted this scent to fill his entire home.
Lu Chenzhou abruptly came back to his senses. Then he stared at the thing in his hand, his expression darkening as he threw the clothes back into the box.
He had only had Shen Chi’s clothes taken away because he wanted to further confirm whether Shen Chi was truly an Omega pretending to be a Beta.
Even though, deep down, he knew very clearly that with Shen Chi’s current financial situation, he could not possibly afford expensive disguise medicine. He simply… had some indescribable emotions that kept influencing him, making it impossible for him to make a correct judgment.
