After Teasing the aloof Arch-Nemesis Omega - Chapter 8

Liberty Racetrack was a privately established venue with maximum privacy, and it absolutely did not disclose customer information.

Following the address, Yu Yunlan arrived at the agreed location. It was a building that looked ordinary from the outside, but several people stood guard at the entrance. There were even bodyguards patrolling back and forth, making the management look very strict.

Although Liberty was called a racetrack, it also had dedicated areas for rest and entertainment. This place was the rest and entertainment zone.

The racetrack was right beside it. The location was high up, with one side of the track against the mountain and the other side facing a steep slope.

Yu Yunlan provided her communication pass, and the bodyguards quickly let her through. She pushed open the door and entered.

The scene inside was very different from the plain appearance outside. The interior was decorated in a retro style, with dark tones paired with hazy lighting, creating a strong atmosphere.

There were about a few dozen people inside drinking. Only after entering did she realize that the place was semi-open. One side was a glass wall, and because the terrain was high, one could admire the beautiful scenery outside through it.

Yu Yunlan frowned slightly. She was not very used to this kind of environment.

She opened her communicator and typed: I’m here. Where are you?

Ye Su was sitting at a table on the right. The communicator on her wrist vibrated once. She lowered her head to glance at the message, then swept her gaze toward the middle and immediately spotted Yu Yunlan.

That person was casually wearing a white camisole, with a loose gray jacket over it. She wore a mask that covered the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of cold, distant eyes like a cold spring.

No matter how many times Ye Su saw those eyes, she would still be stunned for a few seconds.

She typed a reply.

ovo: Look to the right.

After receiving the message, Yu Yunlan quickly found her.

“I’m here.” Yu Yunlan walked up to her and said three concise words.

This was not the first time the two had met.

“ovo,” whose tone in chat was cute, was actually a mature Beta beauty in real life who liked acting cute. She wore a black V-neck long dress with a white shawl draped over it. When her eyes shifted, there was a sexy charm to her.

But as soon as Yu Yunlan came over, this mature beauty blinked, and her charming, sexy aura instantly shattered all over the floor. She covered her mouth in a fake whisper and said softly, “Oh my, you came to a place like this to have fun, yet you’re still wearing a mask?”

Yu Yunlan said simply, “I’m used to it.”

Ye Su shrugged. “All right, all right. Oh, by the way, what do you think? The place I chose isn’t bad, right?”

“It’s a little noisy.” Yu Yunlan looked around, her brows furrowing slightly. “Why did you arrange to meet here?”

Ye Su said, “A place like this is suitable for discussing matters. The confidentiality here is very good, and we can also happen to have some fun.”

Actually, the important part was the latter sentence.

She rarely came to Domain A. Someone had told her this place was very interesting, and its confidentiality was especially good. It just so happened that she had cooperated with the owner here before, so she came directly.

Ye Su turned sideways and took a document bag and a small box from the bag she had brought with her. “I asked around for you. Here, the things you wanted are all here. Inside the document bag are some records from when G13 was put into experimentation. I don’t know whether they can help you. There are only paper copies, and I haven’t opened them.”

“Oh right, inside the box are two doses of G13. Take them and use them first. Don’t use them too frequently. Leaving aside the fact that you’ve already developed drug resistance, this kind of drug also causes a lot of damage to the body.”

Yu Yunlan accepted the items and said, “Thank you.”

Ye Su said, “No need to thank me. How is the matter I mentioned to you last time progressing?”

Yu Yunlan said, “The components and dosage of that drug have already been broken down. I’ll send you the results when I go back tonight.”

Ye Su’s eyes lit up. “As expected, you really are amazing! The components of that drug are already considered complicated, but you actually still managed to break them down. Are you a genius?”

She was practically dying of excitement, all right? Many drugs in the empire had complicated components. Not only were they expensive, but purchases were also restricted, making supply fall short of demand. Under such circumstances, many underground trading areas would imitate the same drugs to make a profit.

But breaking down the components of a drug was something that greatly tested one’s ability, because sometimes even if the components were correct, if the dosage was inconsistent, the effects produced would be worlds apart. Yet Yu Yunlan had extraordinary talent in this area.

Ye Su still wanted to say something else, but very soon, wave after wave of cheers nearby drew her attention.

The faint roar of race cars entered their ears. It was the sound of cars speeding past.

Ye Su’s attention was immediately diverted, and she looked toward the racetrack.

This private racetrack was around five kilometers long in total. At this moment, the cars happened to pass by them. This place was already close to the finish line, with only the final few turns left.

A red race car rushed to the very front. Its flamboyant color was especially eye-catching, like a ball of flames burning.

“Wow!!!”

But the red race car not only did not slow down, its front instead swerved recklessly toward the outside, about to crash into the race car approaching from beside it. Beside them happened to be a slope nearly ninety degrees steep. On top of that, because it was a rainy day, the track was a little more slippery than usual, leaving only the smallest bit of space.

This was a huge gamble on one’s own skill. If a car dared to pass through, and if the driver of the red race car was not skilled enough, she would crash straight into it. The final result would only be the car falling down, along with the person inside. If their luck was bad, they might be seriously injured or even die.

And the red race car’s posture even made people wonder whether the other party might do something extreme.

When the top speeds of all the race cars were the same, the competition tested the skill and judgment at every sharp turn, as well as the psychological game brought by every choice.

The other cars were clearly stunned by the red race car’s death-defying momentum. They did not dare overtake casually and became hesitant. It was precisely because of those few seconds of hesitation that the outcome on the track was decided.

In the end, the red race car steadily stopped at the finish line.

A crowd let out exclamations, and several people even stood up.

Heaven knew how frightening that had been to watch from the platform just now.

“Oh my god, what kind of death-seeking driving style was that?”

“She’s playing with racing like her life is on the line!”

“You guys must have only started coming here recently, right? ‘Z’ has always raced like this. She rarely comes, but basically every time she does, she makes the race thrilling enough to scare people out of their wits.”

Under everyone’s gaze, the door of the red race car opened, and a beautiful figure slowly appeared.

Before getting out of the car, the other person had already put on a mask and sunglasses. It was obvious that she did not want anyone to see her true appearance. She wore a racing suit in the same color scheme as the race car, making her figure look tall and outstanding. Her exposed skin was very fair. The wind on the track blew past, lifting the corners of her clothes and the ends of her hair, forming a beautiful, free arc in the air.

It was an extreme kind of flamboyant beauty, striking the eyes and leaving behind only amazement and shock.

The people around her cheered for that Alpha like they had gone mad.

“Z! Z!”

“Z! We love you!”

But the Alpha gave no response. She walked coldly and directly toward a quiet private lounge at the side.

At first glance, Ye Su was also stunned for a moment. But the more she looked, the more familiar this person seemed.

The seats they were in were very cleverly positioned. Because an acquaintance had brought her here, this place was basically undisturbed by others and directly faced “Z’s” lounge. Other people could not see this side.

So Ye Su’s gaze unconsciously followed that figure. She watched the Alpha open the door to the lounge, turn around, and close it bit by bit.

The other person had probably just finished racing and was too hot. In the instant before the door had completely closed, Ye Su saw her take off her mask and sunglasses.

The hidden face appeared before them just like that.

Through that tiny gap, she saw what “Z” looked like.

Ye Su was startled. She leaned forward, wanting to look again, but that door had already fully closed.

Even so, Ye Su was certain she had not seen wrong.

She blurted out, “Holy crap, what a coincidence. Isn’t that little lunatic Fang Zhijin?”

And Ye Su also noticed that the instant she said the three words “Fang Zhijin,” Yu Yunlan’s gaze turned toward her.

That look seemed somewhat unusual, like a calm lake quietly rippling.

Ye Su froze for a moment. “What, you know her? Or are you very curious about this ‘Z’?”

Yu Yunlan said, “Same class. Not curious.”

That counted as answering both of the other party’s questions at once.

But she did not mention that she and Fang Zhijin were also roommates.

“So that’s how it is.” Ye Su had already regained her composure by now. She dragged out her tone. “I almost forgot you’re at Elite Academy now. She’s the same age as you, so of course she’d be at that school too.”

She looked as though she was very familiar with Fang Zhijin, but after saying that, there was no follow-up. Just then, a waiter happened to pass by holding a tray. Ye Su casually took two glasses of red wine from it, placed one on the table, and pushed it toward Yu Yunlan with her index and middle fingers, changing the topic.

“Why don’t you try this wine? It tastes very good.”

She clearly had no intention of continuing to discuss that topic.

Yu Yunlan glanced at the glass of wine and refused very ungratefully, her voice indifferent. “No need.”

She did not want to drink, at least not in such an unfamiliar place.

Ye Su did not mind either and replied smoothly, “All right, all right. If you won’t drink it, then I’ll drink both glasses myself.”

In truth, she had just wanted Yu Yunlan to take off her mask. Every time they met outside, Yu Yunlan acted so mysterious. Even when coming to a place like this to have fun, she still wore a mask. What a waste of that beautiful face.

Besides, drinking was so much fun, yet Yu Yunlan did not even like this.

As Ye Su slowly took a small sip of wine, she thought that in her opinion, this person was simply born missing an emotional nerve, which was why she was not interested in anything.

But in the next second, she heard the person she had just judged to be uninterested in anything suddenly speak.

“Why did you call her a little lunatic?”

“?”

The topic came so abruptly that Ye Su did not react for a moment. She paused for two seconds. “What?”

Then she realized what Yu Yunlan was asking and immediately laughed. She blinked playfully. “What’s this? You’re still asking questions about Fang Zhijin, and you still say you aren’t curious about her?”

Beneath the mask, Yu Yunlan’s lips pressed together slightly. “I’m not curious.”

Ye Su: “…” Do I look like I believe you?

However, considering that Yu Yunlan was her outstanding partner, and that she had a pretty good impression of this partner, she still lifted her chin and chose to satisfy the other girl’s curiosity a little.

“I’m actually not very familiar with the current her, but I played with her for a while when we were young. Her Omega mother died when she was three. Also, her family’s education methods… Mm, how should I put it? They were a little strange.”

She said this rather tactfully. Seeing that Yu Yunlan was still looking at her, seemingly waiting for what came next, she continued:

“When I was young, I accidentally overheard the aunties in their family talking. When Fang Zhijin was a few years old, she didn’t have many friends, but she raised a pigeon. She especially liked that pigeon. But once, because she was playing with the pigeon, she was late for school.”

“Then her family…” Halfway through, Ye Su paused for a moment. “They made that pigeon into soup. When Fang Zhijin came home from school, they forced that bowl of pigeon soup down her throat. They wanted to make Fang Zhijin obedient.”

When Yu Yunlan heard this, her chest tightened slightly.

Ye Su continued, “During that period, I heard Fang Zhijin kept crying. She vomited whenever she ate anything, so the doctor had no choice but to give her nutrient injections. Only after half a month did she go back to school.”

“I don’t know what happened after that. When we were in middle school, my family went bankrupt, and we moved to Domain B.”

Ye Su swirled the wine glass and said, “Someone who grew up in that kind of family… Mm, you understand, right? Anyway, if you’re in the same class as her, you can stay farther away from her in the future, so she doesn’t discover your matters.”

After Ye Su finished speaking, she did not hear Yu Yunlan reply for quite a while. She found it a little strange and looked across at her.

Yu Yunlan was still wearing her mask, so her features could not be seen clearly. Under the dark lighting, her aura was otherworldly, and her eyes remained cold and distant.

But Ye Su somehow felt that she was in a daze.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked.

Yu Yunlan’s eyes moved slightly. She said, “Nothing. I just feel… the air here is a little stuffy.”

Ye Su was half skeptical. “This place is so high up, and the wind is so strong, but you still feel stuffy?”

“It’s because you’re wearing a mask, isn’t it? If you really can’t stand it, just take it off.”

Yu Yunlan stood up. She did not directly respond to the matter of taking off her mask and only said, “I’m going outside for a bit.”

She urgently wanted to get some air right now.

Yu Yunlan came to a balcony with fewer people. The wind outside blew against her face and body, also lifting the ends of her hair, just like a certain Alpha earlier.

In fact, when Ye Su said that “Z” was Fang Zhijin, Yu Yunlan was not particularly surprised.

Because as a high-level Omega, her five senses had allowed her to easily see the red mark on the other girl’s hand.

That was the mark she had left last night.

The wind outside was very strong, carrying a fine, drifting rain. Yu Yunlan stood there for several minutes, but the tightness in her chest never eased.

Yu Yunlan covered the position of her heart. Her eyes, which were usually as cold as frost, revealed an emotion similar to confusion.

She did not know what was going on.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind her.

Yu Yunlan seemed to sense something. She turned around and saw a masked Alpha. The Alpha had not changed out of her red racing suit yet. It was like flame, as if it could make the people around her also feel a kind of heat.

It was Fang Zhijin.

The other girl approached step by step, her gaze repeatedly moving over the brows and eyes exposed above Yu Yunlan’s mask.

Then she called out, “Yu Yunlan.”

She recognized her.
