Chapter 36: Secretary Shen, Why Are You Hiding?
Shen Chi was not some flower raised in a greenhouse. Since he had managed to grow up safely, he naturally knew a little bit of fighting.
He placed the bags of food in his hands to the side, lest they get stepped on later. If that happened, he would be very angry.
He could not beat an Alpha, but a few Betas? That was all.
Shen Chi lifted his face. That delicate face was almost hidden in the darkness, while behind him, two meters away, the exit of the alley was brightly lit.
“Are you coming one by one, or all together?” He slowly took off his suit jacket and elegantly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his fair, slender wrists. “Forget it. Come together. I’m in a hurry.”
These Betas were like rats in the gutter, blocking people in various dark corners every day. When had they ever seen a beauty like Shen Chi? He did not weep in misery, nor was he afraid or terrified. Instead, he curved his lips at them.
A frightened beauty, a crying beauty—that was a beautiful sight.
But a fearless beauty, a calm beauty, a beauty who even smiled at them—that was beauty among beauties.
In the dim, silent alley, several Betas swallowed.
“Fuck, that’s hot!”
“Damn it, no one fight me for him. I want to be first!”
“Get the hell out of here. I was the first one to notice him. He’s mine.”
…
Filthy words entered Shen Chi’s ears. His eyes cooled. The suit jacket in his hand was suddenly flung out, perfectly covering one Beta’s head.
The other person’s vision went black. Before he could react, Shen Chi had already kicked him.
His movements were swift and ruthless. That kick actually sent the man flying to the ground.
Next, the suit jacket in his hand lashed out again. With a snap, it slapped another person across the face.
A burning pain spread across that man’s face. He roared in anger and charged at Shen Chi. Shen Chi turned his body sideways, letting him crash into another person. Then he struck him from behind with an elbow, making him howl in pain and fall to the ground on the spot.
In only a few minutes, only one person was still standing.
Shen Chi turned back. The other person also realized he had kicked an iron plate and looked at this Beta, who was even prettier than an Omega, while trembling. He loudly begged for mercy.
“S-sorry, brother. We were blind. We were wrong. We…”
There was no expression on Shen Chi’s face. He had never thought of showing mercy.
Showing mercy to an enemy was not called being soft-hearted. It was called being sick.
“Wrong? Go tell King Yama.”
Shen Chi bent his knee and was just about to give him a heavy blow, but he had not expected that damned thug to be even more sinister than he thought.
He was actually holding a spray. While apologizing, he tried to launch a sneak attack.
The two moved almost at the same time.
Shen Chi was not sprayed in the face, but the drug quickly spread through the air. He immediately held his breath, but still inhaled a little.
His head began to grow dizzy. He barely stood in place and watched as the people who had originally fallen to the ground supported themselves against the wall and shakily stood back up one by one.
They had injuries on their bodies and faces, looking far more miserable than Shen Chi, but Shen Chi had inhaled the drug.
They let out vulgar laughter. “We originally wanted to be gentle. You’re the one seeking death.”
Shen Chi blinked slowly. Beneath his dark gaze, his beautiful face was covered in frost. “Is that so?”
He chuckled softly and bit the tip of his tongue. The sharp pain made his mind clear up a little.
When he smiled, those pieces of trash went numb all over.
With such a cold and aloof face, even his laughter was so seductive.
“Fuck, brothers, let’s go together. No need to divide who goes first. Good things—we share!”
…
At the exit of the alley, a black luxury car was parked there.
The sky was growing darker. This luxury car worth tens of millions did not attract too much attention.
Inside the car, Lu Chenzhou sat elegantly in the back seat. He stared fixedly at the scene unfolding in the alley, his eyes flowing with an unreadable light.
The driver was silent for a moment. They had both seen everything happening in the alley. Seeing that the boss remained “unmoved,” and considering that he had worked with Shen Chi for quite a while, and that the boss’s attitude toward him was also different from others, the driver finally gathered his courage and spoke.
“President Lu, should we help Secretary Shen?”
Lu Chenzhou took out a cigarette. The sound of the lighter rang out. He took a deep breath.
White smoke curled around him, and Lu Chenzhou’s gaze was dark and unclear.
“I remember last time, that Omega was like this too.”
Wild and fragrant, completely different from ordinary Omegas.
Although many aspects of Ye Suxi matched, including his personality, which was unlike normal soft little Omegas, Lu Chenzhou still felt something was wrong in his heart.
When he matched the scene from that night with Ye Suxi’s face, Lu Chenzhou could not help becoming irritable.
On the contrary, if it was Shen Chi, everything became different.
Even now, just thinking about it made Lu Chenzhou excited.
The driver did not know what he was thinking. He only knew that if Lu Chenzhou could watch here for this long, he must care about Secretary Shen. But he still had not acted and had even brought up what happened that night.
The driver could not help reminding him, “President Lu, Secretary Shen is a Beta.”
Under this well-meaning reminder, Lu Chenzhou’s gaze turned icy. In his heart, displeasure and an inexplicable anger flashed.
He knew.
Of course he knew Shen Chi was a Beta.
It was precisely because he knew that he was so displeased!
Click.
Lu Chenzhou opened the car door. The cigarette in his mouth was still burning. After appreciating Shen Chi’s excellent counterattack, he calculated the timing and appeared precisely in the alley the moment Shen Chi fell into a disadvantage.
With a gloomy expression, he grabbed a fist swinging toward Shen Chi.
Crack.
Like a branch being snapped, Shen Chi leaned against the dirty wall of the alley and vaguely heard something break.
The system screamed. The system cheered. [It’s the male lead gong! We’re saved!]
Lu Chenzhou’s appearance made those bruised and battered thugs panic. Compared with a relatively harmless Beta like Shen Chi, an S-rank Alpha had absolute crushing power. Even though they could not smell pheromones, his terrifying pressure quickly made them unable to move.
It was fear rising from the depths of their souls. They widened their eyes in terror, their legs going weak.
At this moment, even begging for mercy became a luxury. They opened their mouths, trying to plead, but could only make hoarse “heh, heh, heh” sounds.
Lu Chenzhou reached out and clasped Shen Chi’s waist.
Shen Chi’s consciousness was muddled. Although the system had told him the male lead gong had arrived, he still resisted subconsciously.
Lu Chenzhou had mysophobia and disliked others getting close, but in truth, Shen Chi was somewhat the same. He liked keeping a safe distance from people. This distance was too close, so close it made him uneasy.
Unfortunately, that weak resistance of his, in Lu Chenzhou’s eyes, was like a kitten scratching someone. It was not worth mentioning and even carried a bit of amusement.
But now, Lu Chenzhou could not feel happy.
His resistance made Lu Chenzhou’s face instantly darken. Even the hand around his waist tightened slightly.
Originally, he had only loosely supported him, but now, he was almost pressing him into his arms.
“Secretary Shen, why are you hiding?”
