Targeted by a Shady Top Alpha, I Pretended to Be Obedient and Faked My Death – CH71

Chapter 71: Secretary Shen Is in Danger!

Shen Chi’s appearance disrupted the so-called little sponsor’s scheme.

His face darkened unpleasantly, and his murky eyes looked as if he wanted to kill Shen Chi. But when his gaze landed on Shen Chi’s face, everything changed.

Ye Suxi was cute and charming, like a pure, beautiful young man. Shen Chi was another kind entirely—elegant, aloof, with a clarity about him that seemed untouched by the filth of the world.

In other people’s eyes, that clarity was an enormous temptation.

The little sponsor’s cheeks trembled slightly with excitement. If he could take both of them into his possession…

No, no. He had to first find out this person’s identity.

The last shred of reason he had left made him restrain himself a little. He did not impulsively step forward and seize him directly.

“Who are you?”

Shen Chi was no flower raised in a greenhouse. He understood that kind of disgusting gaze all too well. Without showing anything, he completely blocked Ye Suxi behind him, while not forgetting to remind Ruan Shangxue.

“Miss Ruan, are there surveillance cameras here?”

“A diamond necklace of such value wouldn’t fall off that easily. I suggest you check the cameras.”

In her earlier panic, Ruan Shangxue had indeed forgotten about the surveillance cameras. So many second-generation rich kids were gathered here. There was no way there would be any blind spots. Hearing this, her eyes turned, and she immediately ordered someone to call the manager over.

Ruan Shangxue was not some gentle, obedient girl who swallowed her grievances. What she hated most was being schemed against. Since Shen Chi said this, he definitely had his reason.

“Manager, I’ll give you ten minutes. If you can’t find out the truth, then someone else can take your position.”

When the matter blew up, the so-called little sponsor finally realized that Shen Chi had not looked at him properly from beginning to end.

He had arranged this game. He had gathered these people. He knew the information of every guest here—except Shen Chi!

As Shen Chi ignored him, his rationality began to disappear. Flying into a rage, he smashed the wineglass in his hand hard against the floor.

“I’m asking you!” he shouted loudly. “Who the hell are you?”

Last time, Shen Chi had openly introduced himself as Lu Chenzhou’s secretary. But this time, with Ye Suxi here, he was afraid it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. He hesitated for a second, just as he was thinking about how to get out of this.

But in that single second, the little sponsor was kicked to the ground.

And the place where he fell just so happened to be where he had smashed the wineglass.

His face was ground into the glass shards. Pain spread through him, and he howled in agony. “You fucking—”

Unfortunately, before he could finish cursing, a leather shoe suddenly stepped on his head.

The owner of the shoe used full force. The sharp pain on his face made tears and snot stream out, but his mouth was still roaring angrily, “Do you fucking know who I am?”

“Who are you shouting at—my person?”

As that cold, fierce voice fell, what followed was an overwhelming suppression of pheromones.

The sudden scene made everyone at the banquet gasp in shock. But once they saw the person’s face clearly, those gasps turned into sharp inhales.

Especially since there was a bite-stopper on his face…

Everyone froze in place. The entire banquet hall became utterly silent.

Lu Chenzhou looked down from above, stepping on the man, while his eyes were fixed tightly on Shen Chi not far away. His features were already hard and sharp. When he did not smile normally, his aura was already terrifying enough. Now, with the bite-stopper on, his smile was simply horrifying.

“Come here.”

No prefix. Just those two simple words, yet they pressed down so heavily that everyone present could barely breathe.

Shen Chi stood completely still, his pupils trembling slightly. He looked at Lu Chenzhou in disbelief. When he had left, he had clearly watched him get into bed and go to sleep.

A cold aura spread toward him bit by bit. With that “come here,” Shen Chi tried to deceive himself.

“System, he’s not talking to me, right?”

“He’s talking to the male lead shou, right?”

The system sighed. [Human, accept reality. Although I also think his appearance is terrifying, in the current situation, he still doesn’t know Ye Suxi’s true online identity.]

Shen Chi felt as if he had been locked onto by an evil ghost. His hair stood on end, and his scalp went numb.

He just stood there, staring at Lu Chenzhou. Seeing that he did not move, Lu Chenzhou slowly tilted his head.

“Baby, I don’t want to say it a second time.”

The movement looked obedient, even a little coaxing, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. All these false appearances were meant to lure Shen Chi over.

Time passed bit by bit. In just three short seconds, Shen Chi still did not move his feet.

His resistance clearly made Lu Chenzhou very unhappy. Yet at this moment, Ye Suxi recklessly ran in front of Shen Chi.

“Mr. Shen, don’t go over. He’s in his susceptible period!”

“You’re only a Beta. You can’t help him.”

It was not only Ye Suxi. Even Ruan Shangxue finally reacted belatedly.

Before, she had chased after Lu Chenzhou because she valued his status and identity. She knew he was dangerous, but she had not known he was terrifying to this extent. Her legs trembled uncontrollably under the massive pressure of his pheromones, but she still mustered her courage and tugged at Shen Chi’s sleeve.

“Shen Chi, you can’t go. He’s too dangerous right now.”

Charging over at this moment would not be helping him. It would be seeking death!

Although she also did not understand why Lu Chenzhou had such intense possessiveness toward his secretary.

Too terrifying.

So this was the susceptible period of an S-level Alpha?

Ruan Shangxue could not withstand this horrifying pheromone suppression. Afraid she would be affected, she hurriedly took an inhibitor out of her bag, then looked at Ye Suxi beside her.

“Want one?”

Ye Suxi had prepared before coming, but his inhibitor was much worse than Ruan Shangxue’s.

Even a small difference would reduce the effect.

He glanced at Ruan Shangxue and did not refuse. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Thank you.”

More and more people were gathering around Shen Chi. Even Zhuang Zhe’an popped up, but he was smarter and did not dare step forward. He only stared at Lu Chenzhou in terror.

“Secretary Shen!”

“Lu-ge!”

“Holy cow!”

“Lu-ge, you came to catch someone while in your susceptible period!”

“Secretary Shen, you actually ran away while Lu-ge was in his susceptible period!”

Zhuang Zhe’an had already been shocked into incoherence by the scene. Only Shen Chi knew that Lu Chenzhou had lost his patience. Not only that, but something seemed to be wrong with Shen Chi himself too.

His nape was starting to faintly heat up again, just like before…

Shen Chi thought it was the aftereffect of his pseudo-heat. He gritted his teeth and reached out to Ruan Shangxue.

“Do you have more? Give me one too.”

Running was impossible. He had to face reality. But if he just went over like this, he was afraid he would not see the sun tomorrow.

Whatever. One shot first. Treating a dead horse like a living one.

Ruan Shangxue did not hesitate at all. She took out one—no, two—inhibitors and stuffed them all into Shen Chi’s hands.

“Shen Chi, you… why don’t I call the police for you?”

Shen Chi was very touched, but he still refused.

“It’s fine. I can handle it.”

Handle it, my ass!

Shen Chi was almost scared to tears. Although he looked calm and composed on the surface, he was already crying rivers inside.

No one had told him that the task difficulty for an NPC would be this high.
