LIGHTNOVELONLINE c62 - The Pickup
Before becoming the vice president of the Fugui Gang, Chen Yanjiao had worked in sales for several years.
She had seen all sorts of people and could justifiably claim to be “well-versed in human nature.”
But she had never encountered someone like “Shen Nuan” before her.
Though her demeanor seemed so pure and harmless, her words could truly anger people to death.
Chen Yanjiao’s delicate brows furrowed tightly. She felt that if she stayed any longer, she’d probably need to get Botox tomorrow.
“Since she likes it here so much, let her stay in the warehouse for a few more days.”
After dropping this line, Chen Yanjiao turned to walk towards the door.
But just as she stepped outside the iron door, she suddenly thought of something interesting. With a smile on her lips, she returned to the warehouse with her bodyguards.
Seeing them return, Shen Han was momentarily unsure of their intentions.
She lightly pressed her right palm against the side seam of her jeans, where a few small tools made primarily of carbon fiber were hidden.
She thought: If her identity had been exposed, she’d have to end this operation prematurely.
Chen Yanjiao approached “Shen Nuan” again with her people.
She slightly raised her chin, looking at the Alpha before her with an ambiguous smile.
Suddenly, she quickly pressed her body close to the other, giggling, “You’re deliberately trying to drive me away? Are you afraid to be alone with me? Or do you have some other purpose?”
Shen Han had originally planned to restrain her and give her a joint lock.
But after hearing these words, she knew her identity probably hadn’t been exposed.
So, she forcibly changed her aggressive movement, her body slightly trembling as she dissipated the force, taking two steps back.
“What other purpose could I have? Didn’t I tell you, I came here to make money?”
Hearing the Alpha’s words and seeing her ‘frightened’ retreat, Chen Yanjiao suddenly felt delighted.
It felt like discovering an interesting toy she had never played with before.
She winked at the other, not at all concerned about the presence of others around, and said, “You want to make money? Sure! First, satisfy me, and I’ll let you make money, okay?”
Hearing such blunt and explicit words from a mature and charming Omega, the bodyguards in the warehouse and the others locked up there suddenly felt their mouths go dry, wishing they could replace that clueless Alpha.
Shen Han, looking at the other’s burning gaze and the sparkling crystal at the corner of her eye, felt her own eyeballs aching.
At this moment, Chen Yanjiao extended her hand to the side: “Give me your gun.”
The bodyguard beside her was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out his handgun from the holster and respectfully handed it to her.
Shen Han noticed the gun’s safety wasn’t off, so she wasn’t too worried.
However, her face still showed just the right amount of terror: “Vice President, what are you doing?”
Chen Yanjiao didn’t answer her, only saying to her bodyguard, “Get everyone else out of here, then you all leave too.”
Hearing this order, the bodyguard who had just given her the gun hesitated and spoke up, “Sister Jiao, she’s an Alpha. This is too dangerous for you.”
Chen Yanjiao smiled slightly, turning off the gun’s safety.
Then, holding the gun, she gently pressed the muzzle against the bodyguard’s chest: “Is that so? You’re an Alpha too. Why don’t you guess, which is faster, your reflexes or my bullet?”
The bodyguard was about to break out in a cold sweat.
He knew she was just scaring him, but who could guarantee the gun wouldn’t accidentally go off?
In the next minute or so, all the unnecessary people in the warehouse were cleared out, leaving only Shen Han and Chen Yanjiao.
After witnessing that scene, Shen Han secretly raised her assessment of this woman’s danger level by one notch.
However, the fact that she had sent everyone else away paradoxically increased her safety factor.
After hearing the sound of the warehouse’s iron door closing, Chen Yanjiao casually turned off the gun’s safety.
“What level of Alpha are you?”
Shen Han thought for a moment and answered, “Currently at the team leader level.”
Chen Yanjiao silently rolled her eyes, then began to release her pheromones.
“If you don’t want to say, that’s fine. I can test it myself.”
The sweet scent of peaches quickly spread, soon enveloping the space between the Alpha and Omega.
The underground warehouse, originally filled with stuffiness and dampness, suddenly became fragrant and sweet.
Chen Yanjiao stared intently at her prey.
She had always been confident in the attractiveness of her pheromones.
In fact, her pheromone scent, which most Alphas found irresistible, played a decisive role in her securing the vice president position.
However, Shen Han wasn’t among that majority of Alphas.
Omega pheromones below S-class basically had little effect on her.
Not to mention that the guard team underwent special willpower training at regular intervals.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the warehouse gradually became awkward.
Whether from exhaustion or frustration, Chen Yanjiao’s face had turned slightly red.
She gritted her teeth and said to the Alpha before her, “You have no reaction? Is there something wrong with your gland, or—”
Before she could finish saying “or are you S-class,”
Shen Han had already stumbled back a few steps, clutching her chest and ‘painfully’ exclaiming, “Don’t do this to me, I feel so uncomfortable!”
Seeing such poor acting, Chen Yanjiao couldn’t help but laugh out of anger.
Just as she was about to continue teasing this incredibly interesting Alpha, a bodyguard’s voice suddenly came from outside, “Sister Jiao, the president is here. He has urgent business for you.”
“Got it, I’m coming right away.”
After hastily responding to the door, Chen Yanjiao smiled at Shen Han and said, “I’ll go take care of something for a while. We’ll continue when I’m done.”
With that, not daring to linger, she threw a flirtatious glance at Shen Han and quickly left the warehouse.
Only after hearing the sound of the iron door being locked from the outside, did Shen Han take out a screwdriver head from the side seam of her jeans.
She climbed barehanded to the top of one of the side walls, removed the cover of the ventilation duct, and then slipped out through the duct.
Only after climbing onto a rooftop did Shen Han realize she was in a farmhouse resort.
The faint sound of mahjong tiles could be heard from not far away.
She crouched low, searching for traces of Fugui Gang members while pondering to herself.
Her luck had actually been quite good. Although she’d been locked up for a night, now the president had walked right into their trap.
As long as she found effective evidence, she could immediately press the pre-arranged second signal transmitter, letting Gu Junwan arrange for people to come and bust this pyramid scheme den.
After looking around and not finding any suspicious Fugui Gang members, Shen Han decided to search the rooms quietly one by one.
After all, this farmhouse resort wasn’t particularly large. Even if she had to secretly check every room, it wouldn’t take more than half an hour.
While Shen Han was “leaping from eave to eave” searching for people,
Gu Junwan was sitting in a vehicle that looked ordinary but was actually bulletproof.
Escort vehicles from the guard team protected the front and rear of the car as the convoy sped towards the town.
Gu Junwan hadn’t slept well last night.
Because the little red dot representing Shen Han’s position on her tablet had remained in the same place since a certain moment.
If it weren’t for the small-scale movement of the red dot, she might have sent people to rush over last night.
Her worry finally turned into anxiety as noon approached today.
Because the little red dot on the tablet was still in the same place.
Gu Junwan didn’t want to passively sit in the camp waiting for news, so she issued several orders, having relevant departments take people to stake out near Shen Han and Ma Haoyu’s locations.
She herself secretly set out with a small group, heading towards Shen Han’s location.
Just now, the little red dot on the tablet finally moved, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on Gu Junwan’s heart all night slowly lifted.
Now that the convoy had entered the town, there was no need to return immediately. She had the vehicle slow down a bit, continuing to approach the location indicated by the positioning.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Zhao knew her Lady Empress had barely slept all night, so she turned her head and gently advised, “Your Majesty, why don’t I continue watching for updates, and you take a nap in the car?”
Gu Junwan lowered her gaze slightly, looking at the little red dot on the tablet that kept moving within a small area.
Although she couldn’t guess what Shen Han was doing now, it seemed like she was very busy.
Imagining her silly Alpha bouncing around, the Omega felt her fatigue lessen considerably.
So she declined Xu Zhao’s suggestion.
Knowing her Lady Empress was always firm in her decisions, Xu Zhao didn’t press further.
She sat up straight and began observing the town streets outside the window.
The Beta driver responsible for driving remained silent as ever, but his mind was incredibly active.
Her Majesty works so hard, not only having to keep an eye on major national affairs but also personally overseeing special operations like this.
Come to think of it, Captain Shen hasn’t been seen for the past couple of days. Could she be the one out executing this mission?
Oh my! Her Majesty’s attitude towards Captain Shen seems very different!
……
After searching for over 20 minutes, Shen Han finally spotted Chen Yanjiao.
It was a two-story brick building.
Shen Han stood on the body of an air conditioner unit, clinging to the edge of a half-open window.
The watch with camera function was clenched between her teeth, recording everything happening inside.
In the lavishly decorated room, a middle-aged man with a pot belly was frantically pulling things out of a safe.
Chen Yanjiao sat beside the middle-aged man, head lowered, categorizing and organizing the items.
The two were busy as could be.
The middle-aged man stuffed a small pile of gold bars into the briefcase he had brought, wiping sweat from his brow.
Seeing the submissive demeanor of the Omega beside him, his throat couldn’t help but bob a couple of times.
“Why do I keep smelling a whiff of horny peach? Have I been too busy lately and not fed you enough?”
Chen Yanjiao slapped away the hand that had reached for her chest, frowning, “Stop fooling around. Let’s take care of business first. Why are you suddenly moving all these things?”
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, lying back on the bed, and said leisurely, “I received news last night that the Federation government wants to promote two officials from our area. I’ve been eyeing that position for many years. Don’t I need to prepare in advance?”
“I’ve hidden so much dirt on those two dogs here. If they dare to team up against me, I’ll anonymously report all this stuff. No one will have a good time!”
