After Transmigrating as an Alpha, the Omega Wife Insists on Cuddling - Chapter 17

She did not know why Zhao Yiyun had called her.

“Huailü, has Qiuqiu been bullying you during this period?”

“How could she, Mom? Qiuqiu takes very good care of me. She has even cooked for me a few times.”

Zhao Yiyun was surprised. “Oh my, that brat usually has everything handed to her at home. Don’t fool this old woman.”

Shen Huailü’s mouth was very sweet. “Mom is still young. You’re as beautiful as a flower. Standing beside Qiuqiu, you look like two sisters.”

Zhao Yiyun was coaxed by her daughter-in-law until her smile showed all her teeth.

Song Zhi secretly added another mark to his daughter’s account.

Zhao Yiyun chatted with Shen Huailü for a while before getting to the point.

“Huailü, your parents have already told us about you taking over Starstone Entertainment from the Shen family.”

Zhao Yiyun did not beat around the bush much.

“Yunsheng and Yuyi probably can’t spare much time recently. Ah Zhi and I found out a little information, so I’ll tell you. The prestigious families in the upper decision-making circle, as well as a few wealthy families in Kyoto, may already know Starstone’s background.”

“Mm. Thank you, Dad and Mom. I’ll handle it properly.”

“Also, Song Group is preparing to invest in Starstone’s Lost Trail. When the time comes, we’ll arrange for an assistant to connect with you.”

Shen Huailü was surprised. “All right, Mom. Then I’ll definitely make sure you earn a lot!”

After that, Zhao Yiyun had something to handle, so the two exchanged a couple more polite words and hung up.

The memory ended there.

Shen Huailü rubbed her brow.

The Song family could be trusted. Song Zhuqiu could be trusted.

—

“Eldest Miss.”

“How many times have I told you to just call me by name?”

“All right, Zhuqiu.” Jiang Wu accepted it readily.

“How much have you learned from what I taught you this morning?”

Song Zhuqiu was puzzled. “I dug up a photo of Lü Nianning from sixth grade…”

Jiang Wu leaned close to the screen. “…”

Was this non-mainstream kid really that sweet and pretty Omega surnamed Lü?

“At the very least, it would be quite insulting if you took it out,” Jiang Wu said without changing expression.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

She had originally wanted to investigate Lü Nianning more deeply according to Tang Ji’s suggestion.

Jiang Wu had asked her whether it was urgent. Song Zhuqiu shook her head, so Jiang Wu demonstrated once how to investigate Lü Nianning’s information.

Prestigious families were a circle. Once you found the right people, information followed.

Yesterday, when Song Zhuqiu asked Jiang Wu to investigate Lü Nianning, she had only mentioned the matter of Lü Nianning trying to harm Shen Huailü in Capital University’s auditorium.

After Jiang Wu asked Brother Wang to handle the most urgent surveillance issue, she began investigating Lü Nianning’s information.

Name, prestigious family, face matched to identity—her past experiences all surfaced.

The schools she had attended since childhood, along with all public activities during her time at school, could be searched online. At the same time, information on teachers who had taught Lü Nianning, classmates, students from her interest classes, and related people was all dug out by the roots.

Finally, all these people’s contact information was stored in school archives. Kyoto’s school archives had all been digitized twenty or thirty years ago, so contacting every related person and asking about Lü Nianning’s past was naturally easy.

Every day in Kyoto, plenty of people secretly investigated information on different people. People such as teachers knew this very clearly too, and everyone had clear prices. After all, teachers at Kyoto’s private schools only earned thirty to fifty thousand yuan a month. In Kyoto, that was only enough to fill their stomachs. They still had to earn some extra money.

However, whether the information was true or false had to be judged by oneself. Unless there was only one witness to a certain incident, its authenticity had to be verified from multiple sides.

For families like the Songs, in order to protect their children, they had to spend money every year covering traces and letting people release mixed true and false information. This was especially true when it involved family industries. Their movements would be concealed from multiple sides. Otherwise, simply by digging into another family’s child’s intelligence, others could guess which industries the Song family was involved in and how deeply rooted they were.

Jiang Wu had found Lü Nianning’s hotel-room record quite by accident.

Brother Wang had just happened to be helping her make a rapid facial-matching software. That day, they had asked Chairman Song to help smooth the way with the traffic management department and access Kyoto’s Skynet system. The first result that popped up from the facial recognition program was at the entrance of Hengcheng Hotel.

Jiang Wu’s intuition told her something was wrong, so she temporarily did not look at other results and asked someone for Hengcheng Hotel’s internal surveillance footage.

But Hengcheng Hotel was mysterious enough that they could not find any channel to obtain the surveillance. With no other option, she found someone nearby to interfere with Hengcheng Hotel’s signal and let Brother Wang hack in.

In the end, the hotel’s internal surveillance only retained footage for three days. Usually, it should be at least seven days. Brother Wang suspected that what they had obtained was the external-network surveillance, meaning Hengcheng Hotel still had an internal network storing more surveillance records.

But three days was enough. They directly saw Lü Nianning and a male Alpha enter Room 3001. The male Alpha’s identity was unknown.

Song Zhuqiu had studied for an entire morning. Her previous profession had involved similar work before, but the more specific execution had been handled by intelligence personnel for her.

As a result, after following Jiang Wu’s teaching and operating for a while, she obtained from Lü Nianning’s elementary school teacher a group photo of Lü Nianning and several friends at her birthday party.

That elementary school teacher had gone through great difficulty to find it for her. After all, no one usually wanted such trivial things.

Jiang Wu suddenly thought of something. When she looked at the photo again, she took a picture of it.

“Zhuqiu! This photo might actually be useful!”

Song Zhuqiu was speechless. “How would we use it? Play it on a loop on the big screen in the central business district to anger Lü Nianning to death?”

“No, no, no! Look at this little boy beside her. His bone structure looks a bit like the male Alpha who was with Lü Nianning in Room 3001 that day. Huh! Could he actually be her childhood sweetheart?”

Jiang Wu looked at Song Zhuqiu sympathetically.

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Sympathizing with the original owner.

Song Zhuqiu compared them. “…”

No matter how she looked, she could not connect this elementary-school boy with killer non-mainstream style to the tall, handsome male Alpha in the surveillance footage.

“Are you sure?” Song Zhuqiu was confused.

“If you don’t believe me, have Brother Wang take a look. The shape of the cheekbones and ear bones from the side profile—there’s an eighty percent chance they’re the same person.”

Brother Wang chimed in at the right moment. “I think they look alike too.”

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Jiang Wu and Brother Wang quickly began a new round of work.

“Aren’t you a double PhD in mathematical finance?” Song Zhuqiu asked.

The implication was: Why are you acting like a private detective?

Without turning her head, Jiang Wu answered, “During my PhD, I specialized in mathematics related to faces and collaborated with the computer science side. Besides, do you know what the final destination of finance is? It’s connections, Eldest Miss.

“When I first graduated, in order to train my intelligence-gathering ability, I specifically dug up entertainment industry news. I submitted stories to newspapers and earned nearly a million.”

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

Jiang Wu continued gossiping with her. “You know Xue Wenfeng, right? You definitely don’t know that she has a secret lover she’s been with for over four years. That Omega followed Xue Wenfeng right after coming of age.

“Tsk! What a beast. I didn’t give that information to the newspaper, though. I emailed it to Xue Wenfeng’s agency. Hehe!”

Song Zhuqiu: “…!?”

I actually happen to know that.

That Omega is also Shen Huailü’s childhood friend.

After eating gossip about people around her, Song Zhuqiu felt complicated inside.

Brother Wang also joined the conversation. “Can you find information on those little girls across the way?”

Jiang Wu looked disgusted. “Don’t act like a creep.”

“Hey! I don’t even know their names. That day, I heard the talent show those trainees from the neighboring company are participating in is about to air. I was planning to support them. I’ve been an audience member for so long.”

“Star Force. You’ll know once you watch the show.”

“Besides, even if information about those little girls across the way were sold to paparazzi, it wouldn’t earn enough for one afternoon tea for us.”

Song Zhuqiu: “…”

During this period, she had finally understood why her father valued this department so much.

The eight people could order whatever they wanted for afternoon tea.

Sometimes, if Jiang Wu had not eaten enough at lunch, she could directly order Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for afternoon tea.

Song Zhuqiu listened to Jiang Wu and Brother Wang chatting for a while, then also joined the intelligence squad’s work.

She continued asking that teacher about the boy.

—

At eight in the evening, Song Zhuqiu got off work.

“Have you eaten?” Shen Huailü asked.

Song Zhuqiu smiled. “A little.”

“Should I have the chef make you something?”

“Okay.”

After giving instructions to the servants, Shen Huailü returned to the study to work.

After dinner, Song Zhuqiu went to shower.

Song Zhuqiu’s whole body was burning hot. She hurriedly put on clothes and went to call a servant to summon the family doctor.

One of the servants on the third floor quickly ran downstairs.

Another servant stood beside Song Zhuqiu.

“Young Madam…” the servant said, blushing.

“Is something the matter?” Song Zhuqiu felt uncomfortable all over and did not notice the servant’s abnormality.

The servant shuffled closer to Song Zhuqiu. “Young Madam, you’re burning badly. I’ll help cool you down first.”

In her daze, Song Zhuqiu thought that of the two servants on the third floor, one had gone downstairs to call the doctor while the other was giving her physical cooling. The division of labor was clear. As expected of properly trained servants in a great household.

The servant’s palm slowly pressed against Song Zhuqiu’s forehead, and her body kept moving closer, her cheeks flushed red.

The Omega servant released her own pheromones.

Song Zhuqiu smelled a floral scent, but strangely, she did not like it.

Her consciousness focused, and she saw the servant pressed against her body, both hands hanging around her neck, her face only a little away from rubbing against her.

Song Zhuqiu: “!”

She suddenly pushed the servant away.

She shouted sternly, “What are you doing!”

The servant sensed the Alpha’s aura in the air, and her passion was stirred.

She had always worked in the Shen family. Aside from the two Omega servants on the third floor, everyone else was Beta. Chairman Shen usually did not go up to the third floor either.

This was her first time coming into such close contact with an Alpha’s aura. It smelled very good.

She could not help approaching this Alpha.

She had heard that there was an Alpha household nearby that hired many Omega servants for the master to resolve susceptible-period issues.

She thought she could do that too.

She forgot that Song Zhuqiu was the Shen family’s in-law.

She forgot that her own Eldest Miss was still inside the room.

She forgot that as a mere servant, the Shen family’s methods alone were enough to make it impossible for her to survive in Kyoto.

Song Zhuqiu shoved the servant away and hurriedly returned to the room, locking the door.

At this moment, she also understood.

Her susceptible period had arrived.

She did not know whether it was because this was her first time experiencing a susceptible period.

It came fiercely.

Song Zhuqiu had no experience.

While her gland released Alpha pheromones, she weakly leaned against the door.

The Alpha pheromones domineeringly slipped through the crack under the door.

Outside, the Omega servant lay by the door, greedily absorbing them.

The family doctor hurried over.

The other Omega servant was stunned by the Alpha pheromones and stood frozen in place.

When the doctor saw the situation upstairs, there was an Omega collapsed at the bedroom door, already unconscious.

She quickly drove the Omega who had not been affected much to the courtyard outside the first floor and handed her a bottle of suppressant, asking the other Beta servants to watch her.

Then she hurried back upstairs and injected the other Omega with a bottle of suppressant. The butler rushed over and had people carry the Omega downstairs.

The doctor: “…”

What kind of situation was this?

The doctor knocked on the door.

Song Zhuqiu thought it was the Omega outside and did not make a sound.

The door was knocked again.

“Get lost!”

Song Zhuqiu roared.

The doctor: “…”

Weren’t you the one who asked me to come?

The doctor did not know what was happening inside, but she knew Eldest Miss was inside.

Could she have interrupted something good between the wives?

The doctor shivered.

But why was it in the living room? From the sound, it seemed to be not far from the door.

Did the young in-law play this wildly?

The doctor did not dare think too deeply.

Afraid she would be summoned again later, she sat at the stairway with her medical kit in her arms, looking up at the window in a daze.

—

Shen Huailü was in the study, reading the script with great interest.

This project could receive more investment.

Back when the Shen family designed the house, all the studies had been fitted with soundproofing cotton. The ventilation system was also independent and would turn on whenever someone entered.

Inside the study, Shen Huailü did not notice anything unusual outside.

Not until Song Zhuqiu’s angry roar faintly entered the quiet study.

Shen Huailü opened the door.

The scent of Douglas fir rushed toward her, covering her entirely and drawing her forward.

Song Zhuqiu suddenly raised her head.

Her eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
