Chapter 4: Lu Chenzhou: My Wife Is Gone!
On Shen Chi’s first day at work, he did nothing at all. He simply sat in a chair and memorized more than a dozen pages of precautions related to Lu Chenzhou.
By now, he was almost stupid from reading.
The secretary sister with a pregnant belly looked lovingly at this newly arrived little pitiful thing. “Little Chi, this is only your first day. There’s no rush. Take your time.”
Shen Chi raised his beautiful face. When his misty eyes looked at someone, there was somehow a bit of obedient softness beneath his aloofness.
The secretary sister now loved looking at beautiful people. She had heard that when one was pregnant, looking more at good-looking people could also make one’s baby beautiful.
So, she became even more affectionate, to the point that she could not help wanting to reach out and rub Shen Chi’s head of black hair.
But just as her hand reached halfway, a sharp gaze suddenly locked straight onto the back of her hand. The secretary sister froze, hurriedly raised her head, and saw that Lu Chenzhou had arrived at the secretary office at some unknown time.
The secretary sister quickly withdrew her hand. Shen Chi, on the other hand, blinked in confusion before finally looking toward Lu Chenzhou at the door.
There was a slight surprise in his clear eyes. He stood up from his chair and greeted him politely. “President Lu.”
The secretary sister had followed Lu Chenzhou for three years. During these three years, she considered herself to understand her boss fairly well. However, this past week, the boss’s personality seemed to have become even stranger.
In the past, when would he ever personally come to the secretary office? At most, he would make a phone call.
Could it be…
The secretary sister looked strangely at the newly arrived Secretary Shen. Before she could think too much, Lu Chenzhou spoke.
“Cancel the meeting in twenty minutes. Secretary Shen, come out with me.”
The secretary sister paused and hurriedly said, “President Lu, the meeting in twenty minutes is very important. It’s about…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Chenzhou had already turned around.
Clearly, this was a notice, not a discussion.
Shen Chi quickly followed.
At first, he thought that since the male lead had suspended such an important meeting, he must have something very important to do. But when they arrived at the destination, he was shocked.
The car had actually driven into the slum-like area where he lived.
In the back seat, Lu Chenzhou’s expression was cold. “I heard Secretary Shen also lives around here?”
The slum was not dirty. It was just that in the early years, it had failed to keep up with urban planning, so the arrangement of the houses seemed rather chaotic. As time passed, the place also became old and worn. However, the atmosphere of ordinary life here was very strong. Most of the people living here were migrant workers. In this capital city where every inch of land was worth gold, most ordinary people could not afford rent in the bustling areas.
Shen Chi did not know how to describe it. Sitting in the passenger seat, the familiar environment outside the car did not make him relax. Instead, he became guarded.
“Yes, President Lu.” After saying that, he felt it was too brief, so he added, “Why did President Lu suddenly think of coming here?”
Lu Chenzhou did not hide it from him. “To find someone.”
Shen Chi suddenly became nervous. Not long ago, with the system’s help, in that dark alley, he had almost killed the man by the roadside. In the end, it was the system that stopped him and told him that killing was illegal, so he finally gave up.
He did not know just how insane the recovery ability of a top Alpha in this world could be. Besides, at that time, he had still been some distance away from actually killing him.
Thinking of the scene when he had woken up that day, Lu Chenzhou pressed his tongue against his teeth and smiled somewhat dangerously.
He had seen plenty of soft and delicate little Omegas, but this was the first time he had encountered one this wild. Yet the wilder the other party was, the more interested he became.
Shen Chi had been in a hurry to leave that day and had no idea what the person looked like. Although Lu Chenzhou was sitting in the back seat and the space inside the luxury car was extremely spacious, with a considerable distance between the two of them, Shen Chi somehow felt a chill run down his spine.
He asked, “Who does President Lu want to find?”
Lu Chenzhou said, “An Omega.”
Hearing that it was an Omega, Shen Chi relaxed. Then it had nothing to do with him, a Beta.
Shen Chi asked, “Does President Lu have any clues? For example, is it a male Omega or a female Omega? Where does he live? What does he look like? How tall is he?”
Lu Chenzhou said, “Male Omega. I know nothing else.”
Shen Chi: …
Then what the hell was there to find?
But then again, the little Omega that the male lead gong was looking for—could it be the male lead shou?
“System, system, is the male lead looking for his wife?”
The system replied, [There are still three months before the two of them meet. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be. Besides, they didn’t meet in real life at first. The male lead has a hidden illness and finds it difficult to fall asleep. At the beginning, they actually met online. Back then, the shou was still a livestreamer.]
Shen Chi could not help letting out another wow. “Online dating, and it’s even a streamer with his top donor. How fashionable.”
The system was furious. […Human, we are talking about the main point!]
Shen Chi immediately gave two perfunctory hums. “Then what Omega is he looking for now?”
How would the system know? After being interrupted by Shen Chi, it also started spouting nonsense.
[Someone who can make a man care this much—if not a lover, then an enemy.]
The moment those words fell, Lu Chenzhou’s voice followed right after.
“That Omega youth was very strong. After all, when he hit me, he seemed to have endless strength.”
When he spoke, his voice carried a bit of laziness. He did not sound angry, but Shen Chi did not understand him. Upon hearing this, his eyes widened.
Sure enough, it was an enemy!
Shen Chi had already completely removed himself from the matter, so he was no longer nervous. However, the scene that followed still forced him to sigh with emotion. As expected of a domineering CEO, the way he searched for someone was truly terrifying.
Quite a few people lived in the slum. Most of them were like Shen Chi, and only a small portion were lower-level Alphas and Omegas. Now, Lu Chenzhou’s people had actually gathered all the Omegas together.
At present, they were in a hotel lobby.
No one knew what methods Lu Chenzhou’s subordinates had used, but very quickly, more than thirty little Omegas stood in the lobby. There were both men and women. Clearly, this was a complete sweep.
Lu Chenzhou sat on the second floor. Through the glass wall, as long as the people below did not look up, they would not notice them. Even if they did look up, at this distance, it would still be difficult to see their faces clearly.
Shen Chi had not expected his first day at work to be this exciting. He stood behind Lu Chenzhou and forcibly suppressed his curiosity.
He had thought this farce would continue for a long time, but Lu Chenzhou merely asked the bodyguard with a cold expression, “Are there any more?”
The bodyguard said, “President Lu, all the Omegas in this area are here.” After saying that, he continued fearfully, “President Lu, is there no suspicious person among them?”
Lu Chenzhou asked, “The surveillance cameras couldn’t find anything either?”
The bodyguard shook his head. “There was thunder that day, and the surveillance cameras were struck and damaged. President Lu, if we can’t find him, it’s very likely that he isn’t from this area. He may have only passed by that day by chance.”
Lu Chenzhou suddenly said, “Secretary Shen.”
Standing behind him like a background wall, Shen Chi was suddenly called out. He nearly blurted out a “Present!”
“President Lu.”
Lu Chenzhou seemed to be thinking about something. He stared at Shen Chi’s gorgeous face. For some reason, he felt irritated, and also somewhat empty inside. However, he concealed it very well on the surface and did not let anyone notice.
“Secretary Shen, you live here. If you encounter any suspicious person, one piece of information is worth five million.”
Shen Chi’s eyes immediately widened.
It was not five million for finding the person, but five million for one piece of information. If he could sell ten pieces of information, wouldn’t he achieve financial freedom?!
