After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 9

Jiang Xiyuan called the police and an ambulance, and also notified Lu Yaoyi’s two mothers, Lu Meishan and Guan Luyu, as well as Li Henian.

Upon learning that his daughter was injured, Li Henian immediately left his law firm.

The community management in the area was working to clear the Alpha and Omega pheromones from the air. Lu Yaoyi’s pheromones were so strong that they caused Alphas in several surrounding streets and alleys to go into heat. But because her pheromones were so powerful, those Alphas who were induced into heat by her scent only felt weak and unstable. They didn’t do anything out of line.

She really is a captivating and dangerous hyacinth.

The one who could withstand Lu Yaoyi’s heat in the future would surely be a powerful Alpha.

Soon after, the male Alpha was taken to the police station.

Lu Yaoyi was taken to the hospital.

Jiang Youli, who had suffered some minor injuries, went to the hospital with Jiang Xiyuan. She stared at the unconscious Lu Yaoyi the whole time. She didn’t even realize how worried she was. Lu Yaoyi’s hot body had genuinely scared her. When her Little Dad’s heat was coming, he would only become a little tired and weak. She never imagined Lu Yaoyi would…

Was this what it meant to be an S-class Omega?

Jiang Xiyuan remained silent the entire way. The dried blood on Jiang Youli’s lips and her swollen left cheek told him exactly what she had gone through, not to mention he had personally witnessed the Alpha choking her.

Jiang Youli was the precious daughter he and Li Henian cherished.

No matter how unruly or lawless Jiang Youli was, they had never laid a hand on her. He would make that perverted Alpha pay.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital quickly.

Soon after, Lu Meishan and Guan Luyu also arrived.

They asked Jiang Xiyuan and Jiang Youli what had happened.

Jiang Youli recounted the entire event to them. Lu Meishan and Guan Luyu were so angry their bodies were trembling, and they swore they wouldn’t let that perverted Alpha off the hook. Their beloved daughter had just differentiated into an S-class Omega over the summer.

A newly differentiated Omega’s heat was unstable.

And they couldn’t control their own pheromones.

For that perverted Alpha to use his pheromones to harm Lu Yaoyi was simply cruel.

Guan Luyu held Jiang Youli’s hand and thanked her repeatedly. “Dingding, thank you.”

If it weren’t for Jiang Youli, Lu Yaoyi would have been in much more trouble.

“Yes, Dingding,” Lu Meishan said, her eyes red. “We’re so grateful to you today.”

“Auntie Guan, Auntie Lu, it’s nothing,” Jiang Youli said, smiling to comfort them. “Lu Yaoyi and I are friends. It was my duty to protect her.”

Seeing Jiang Youli’s face so bruised broke Lu Meishan’s heart.

She walked over and gently touched Jiang Youli’s swollen cheek, tears finally falling from her eyes. She sobbed, “Dingding, I’m sorry.”

“Auntie Lu, you have nothing to be sorry for,” Jiang Youli said, enduring the pain in her lips and left cheek. She pulled off a warm smile. “The doctor said the swelling on my face will go down, so don’t worry. He said there won’t be any scars or disfigurement.”

Lu Meishan’s tears flowed like rain.

She opened her arms and hugged Jiang Youli. “Dingding…”

In the hospital room, Lu Yaoyi lay quietly in the bed.

The doctor had given Lu Yaoyi a large dose of suppressants to quell the heat in her body.

Fortunately, there was no serious harm. She had simply fainted because her body couldn’t handle the heat caused by the Alpha’s pheromonal invasion. With her current physique, only an Alpha’s pheromones could relieve her heat in the future.

Her body had used up too much energy resisting the Alpha’s pheromones.

The most important thing now was for her to sleep.

She would wake up in a few days.

By the time Li Henian arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already treated the bruises on Jiang Youli’s face and lips. The moment he saw her, he hugged her, his heart aching. He rarely got angry, but now he frowned.

Not long after, Jiang Xiyuan and Jiang Youli went to the police station to give their statements.

The case was very clear, and surveillance cameras had captured the entire incident.

It was a done deal that the male Alpha would be sentenced to prison. The only question was whether he would be sentenced to twenty years, life imprisonment, or even death. The Alpha’s parents also rushed to the police station, but no matter how much they apologized, the Alpha would not receive forgiveness from the victims’ families.

After giving her statement, Li Henian took Jiang Youli home.

Jiang Xiyuan stayed at the police station to handle the rest of the matter.

It was late at night.

Before going to bed, Jiang Youli asked Li Henian to apply medicine to her face, her lips, and the finger marks on her neck.

She couldn’t go out for the next few days. She would have to wait until her injuries healed. It was fine, though; she didn’t really want to go to school anyway. It was much more comfortable to just lie around at home.

At least she only had some minor external injuries.

Li Henian’s heart was breaking looking at Jiang Youli like this. Her face, a blend of his and Jiang Xiyuan’s best features, was so beautiful it seemed to make everything else pale in comparison. And yet, she had almost been disfigured by a scumbag.

He was so relieved she wasn’t disfigured. Otherwise, it would have been a real shame.

Li Henian carefully applied the medicine to Jiang Youli’s lips, his movements as gentle as could be. He saw that Jiang Youli’s mind was a million miles away and called out to her.

“Dingding.”

“Hm?” Jiang Youli came back to earth. “What is it, Little Dad?”

“Why did you rush in without a second thought,” Li Henian said, still applying the medicine, “when you knew you were no match for that Alpha?”

“I wasn’t thinking about that at the time,” Jiang Youli said.

“Weren’t you scared?” Li Henian asked.

Jiang Youli nodded. “I wasn’t. I honestly didn’t feel anything at the time.”

Li Henian gently touched the red finger marks on Jiang Youli’s neck, his eyes filled with sorrow. He asked gently, “Weren’t you afraid that Alpha would really choke you to death?”

Hearing this, Jiang Youli suddenly laughed. “Of course, I was.”

“I’m very afraid of dying.”

Li Henian looked at her, but didn’t say anything.

“I just felt like I couldn’t let that Alpha harm Lu Yaoyi,” Jiang Youli said, recalling how Lu Yaoyi had been lying on the ground. “I’d also never seen a person as aloof as Lu Yaoyi look so helpless and scared.”

She couldn’t quite describe the feeling.

All she knew was that she couldn’t tolerate anyone touching a single hair on Lu Yaoyi.

“Besides, I couldn’t just stand by and watch that perverted Alpha violate Lu Yaoyi, could I?” Jiang Youli looked into Li Henian’s eyes seriously. “If I had really been choked to death by that Alpha… I think… I wouldn’t have any regrets.”

Li Henian raised an eyebrow slightly. “Really?”

“Yes,” Jiang Youli said.

She immediately added, “Little Dad, I’m really afraid of dying.”

“But I think what’s more terrifying than death is not helping someone in need. This way of thinking might be a little foolish, after all, whether you should help or not depends on whether you have the ability to, but if Lu Yaoyi had really been violated by that Alpha today, I would have lived with the pain of guilt forever. I’m just so glad that both Lu Yaoyi and I are okay.”

“Dingding,” Li Henian said.

He gently stroked Jiang Youli’s head. He knew his beloved daughter had always been sensible and thoughtful. “Your dad is proud of you.”

“Of course,” Jiang Youli said with a smile. “I have to be your pride.”

Li Henian continued to apply medicine to Jiang Youli’s lips.

Jiang Youli suddenly said, “Little Dad, I have a question for you.”

“Ask away,” Li Henian said.

“You know, an S-class Omega like Lu Yaoyi…” Jiang Youli rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “If she gets targeted by a perverted Alpha like the one we met today, is she always in danger just by walking on the street?”

Li Henian thought about it for a moment. “Yes. Omegas are always in danger.”

Although there were strict laws to restrain everyone, if an Omega encountered a perverted Alpha who didn’t care about the consequences, the Omega would still be harmed.

Alphas suppress Omegas. Gender and rank determine fate.

The world was full of unfairness like this.

He paused, then said, “Except for an Omega who has been lifetime-marked.”

“Except for an Omega who has been lifetime-marked?” Jiang Youli repeated.

Li Henian said unhurriedly, “An Omega who has been lifetime-marked can still smell other Alphas’ pheromones, but they won’t go into heat or be forced into heat by other Alphas. And the pheromones of the Alpha who lifetime-marked the Omega will also come out and surround the Omega to protect them, so they’re very safe.”

“So, only an Alpha can protect Lu Yaoyi?” Jiang Youli asked.

“That’s right. Preferably a high-ranking Alpha,” Li Henian said.

Jiang Youli immediately lost interest. “Oh…”

She had been defeated by that Alpha today. It was true that only the highest-ranking Alphas had the ability to dominate everything, like her Dad, Jiang Xiyuan.

But her dad was just above A-class, not quite S-class.

She suddenly felt that differentiating into an Omega wasn’t so great after all.

And she would have to constantly worry about being bullied.

“Dingding,” Li Henian suddenly looked at Jiang Youli with a meaningful expression. “Are you asking me this because you want to differentiate into an Alpha to protect Yaoyao?”

Jiang Youli was speechless.

I want to differentiate into an Alpha to protect Lu Yaoyi?

How is that even possible?!

She suddenly raised her voice. “No way! How could that be?”

She absolutely did not want to differentiate into an Alpha to protect Lu Yaoyi.

Li Henian just smiled without saying anything.

“Lu Yaoyi is an S-class Omega,” Jiang Youli said, picturing Lu Yaoyi’s flawless, beautiful face in her mind. “There are so many people who like her. She can just crook her finger and a ton of Alphas will fall head over heels for her. She’s not short on Alphas to protect her.”

Anyway…

She doesn’t need me to protect her.

“Then what about you?” Li Henian asked casually. “Do you like her?”

Jiang Youli was speechless.

She looked at Li Henian. “Little Dad, what’s wrong with you? You’re asking me if I like Lu Yaoyi? Do you really think I like Lu Yaoyi?”

“I thought you protected her so desperately because you liked her,” Li Henian said.

Jiang Youli was speechless.

She said seriously, “I’m going to differentiate into an Omega.”

“Then that’s a shame,” Li Henian said.

Jiang Youli was speechless.

What? That’s a shame?

Was her Little Dad saying he hoped she would differentiate into an Alpha?

And get together with Lu Yaoyi?

“Dingding, it’s okay if you want to be in a same-sex relationship with Yaoyao,” Li Henian said.

Jiang Youli was speechless.

She was even more speechless now. “Little Dad, you’re really acting weird today.”

Li Henian had never brought up things like this before.

What was going on today?

“Dingding, I’m not the one who’s acting weird,” Li Henian said with a calm smile. “It’s just that your dad and I both really like Yaoyao, so we hope you two can be together.”

Jiang Youli scoffed. “But I don’t like her.”

Li Henian didn’t seem to believe her. “You really don’t like her?”

“No, I don’t,” Jiang Youli said.

“I don’t believe you,” Li Henian said.

“Little Dad,” Jiang Youli said, suddenly putting on a serious face. “You’re so annoying today.”

Li Henian just smiled without saying a word.

“Just you wait, Little Dad,” Jiang Youli said confidently. “I’m definitely going to be with an Alpha.”

The next day, Jiang Youli took a few days off from school because of her injuries.

Li Henian went to his law firm.

Since there wasn’t much going on at work, Jiang Xiyuan stayed home to take care of Jiang Youli.

The news that Lu Yaoyi was harmed by a male Alpha from the third year of high school and ended up in the hospital, as well as the news that Jiang Youli had protected her, had already spread throughout Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

The entire school was in an uproar again.

Had Jiang Youli gone from being a bad student to a hero this time?

But…

Didn’t Jiang Youli hate Lu Yaoyi? If something had happened to Lu Yaoyi, Jiang Youli should have been the happiest person. But why was reality completely different from what they had imagined? Why did Jiang Youli almost get choked to death just to protect Lu Yaoyi?

It was unbelievable.

Jiang Youli didn’t seem like the kind of person who would protect Lu Yaoyi at all.

Throughout the day, Jiang Youli’s phone was blowing up with calls from her friends.

Almost everyone was asking her why she would risk her life to protect Lu Yaoyi.

Didn’t she hate Lu Yaoyi?
