After Transmigrating as the Villain Alpha, I Marked the Reborn Supporting Female Omega (GL) - Chapter 4
Liang Manqing’s words were extremely forceful and made Jiang Hejing lose face, but they gave Qin Cen complete confidence.
In C City, only the Liang family could contend with the Jiang family. However, Liang Manqing, the Alpha of the Liang family, was unpromising, following behind Jiang Hejing like a puppet. Initially, everyone thought the Liang family did this to cooperate and achieve a win-win with the Jiang family, but they eventually realized Liang Manqing was truly useless, constantly acting as a stepping stone for the Jiang family.
Now, Liang Manqing stood opposite Jiang Hejing, protecting a woman, as if she had become a completely different person.
Qin Cen glanced sideways at Liang Manqing. Her earlier compromise to be her Omega date was to enter the Jiang residence, but who said she was “her person”?
Liang Manqing draped her arm over Qin Cen’s shoulder, her eyes slightly cold: “Jiang Hejing, my person is not someone you can criticize at will.”
Liang Manqing addressed Jiang Hejing by his full name. Before this, the original owner had always called him “CEO Jiang,” and the two could be described as equally corrupt. If Liang Manqing hadn’t transmigrated last night, Qin Cen’s fate would probably have been even more miserable than described in the book.
Jiang Hejing looked up: “Liang Manqing, are you with her?”
Liang Manqing smiled lightly, noncommittal.
Jiang Hejing narrowed his eyes: “Stealing my person is standing against me.”
Qin Cen glanced at Jiang Hejing with disgust: “When did I become your person? Or are you planning to use those despicable methods to make me submit?”
The Jiang family had a scholarly background for generations. Jiang Hejing maintained a respectable image of a gentle gentleman in public, but few knew his private life was chaotic, having marked countless Omegas.
At this point, everyone present started whispering after hearing Qin Cen’s words.
Jiang Hejing looked at Liang Manqing, feeling that she was different from before. Her eyes lacked the previous subservience, replaced entirely by coldness and contempt. Given that it was the elderly Ms. Jiang’s birthday banquet, Jiang Hejing couldn’t afford to lash out.
The few of them walked towards the Jiang family gate, moving away from the banquet area.
Liang Manqing played a video on her phone for Jiang Hejing to see: “CEO Jiang, I have plenty of videos like this. If you don’t want your reputation utterly ruined, you might want to consider how to appease me.”
When Liang Manqing opened her phone, she discovered that the original owner wasn’t completely stupid. She had recorded the scene where Wei Liuzhi drugged Qin Cen last night. However, Jiang Hejing was cautious and wasn’t present, so this video couldn’t prove his involvement.
Liang Manqing maintained her composure and curved her lips. Jiang Hejing was unsure how much Liang Manqing actually knew about him.
The icy façade on Jiang Hejing’s face finally cracked: “You’ve been following me for so long just to find leverage against me?”
Liang Manqing didn’t know the original owner’s thoughts. The book only stated that the original owner was a stumbling block in the male and female leads’ relationship, eventually being taken out by the male lead, and, as a final service, giving the Liang family to Jiang Hejing as a stepping stone. The original owner was just a tool until the very end of her wicked path.
Now that Liang Manqing was here, she couldn’t possibly be Jiang Hejing’s tool anymore. The thought flashed by, and the system still managed to catch it.
Compared to Jiang Hejing, the system’s existence was more annoying.
The system’s mission was for the male and female leads to have a Happy Ending (HE), not allowing anyone to even think about harming them. If that was the case, Liang Manqing could only choose to avoid interacting with the male and female leads.
Liang Manqing’s mission was to follow the male lead’s path to help Qin Cen blacken so she could return to her original world. Then, she would just put on a show for the system.
Liang Manqing nonchalantly turned her wrist: “CEO Jiang, I happen to be opening a studio in the Thousand Billion Office Building. How about it?”
The Thousand Billion Office Building was an asset under Jiang Hejing’s name. It was highly valuable, located in the center of C City, offering a panoramic view of the city.
In short, whoever owned the Thousand Billion Office Building held absolute initiative in C City.
Jiang Hejing: “You have a huge appetite. Aren’t you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?”
Liang Manqing shrugged: “Compared to the Jiang family’s stock market value, one office building should be nothing to CEO Jiang.”
For Jiang Hejing, anything that could be solved with money wasn’t a problem. Quick resolution was his consistent approach.
Moreover, the Liang and Jiang families were equally matched in power. Jiang Hejing, more than anyone, didn’t want the matter to escalate. He had no choice but to swallow his pride.
Jiang Hejing agreed to give up the Thousand Billion Office Building, desperately hoping the matter would be closed. But his associate, Wei Liuzhi, was full of schemes, and many of the bad ideas he gave Jiang Hejing came from him. Keeping him around would lead to endless troubles.
Liang Manqing made a call to the police. Wei Liuzhi, who was drinking merrily at the banquet, was completely dumbfounded and was escorted away by the police in front of everyone.
Wei Liuzhi begged Jiang Hejing to save him, but Jiang Hejing turned his back and ignored him.
The original owner had left behind a lot of evidence of Wei Liuzhi’s foolish and lustful crimes. Any one of them was enough to land him behind bars.
In the end, Jiang Hejing was cautious and never got his hands dirty himself. Wei Liuzhi was merely his scapegoat.
As for the video in her hand, Liang Manqing didn’t hand it over. First, it couldn’t take down Jiang Hejing, and second, she was worried about getting further entangled. Besides, evil would eventually be repaid. Now, she only wanted to completely cut off ties with the male lead of this book.
Leaving the Jiang residence, the light drizzle outside was turning heavier.
Liang Manqing’s arms were empty, and the little rose scent gradually dispersed.
Qin Cen dodged her hand and asked: “What did you show Jiang Hejing just now?”
Liang Manqing slightly lowered her arm: “The hotel surveillance video from last night.”
The mention of the hotel surveillance video reminded Qin Cen of the conversation in the study. Liang Manqing had the high-definition footage of their activities in the room. Could Liang Manqing have given the video to Jiang Hejing?
Qin Cen’s voice was frigid: “You agreed to give him the video?”
“One video in exchange for one building doesn’t seem like a loss.”
Liang Manqing took her car keys out of her bag. As she opened the car door and turned back, she was pressed against the passenger seat by Qin Cen, whose hand was gripping her neck.
Liang Manqing’s back of the head hit the driver’s seat, and she let out a muffled groan: “Miss Qin, what are you doing?”
“You gave him the high-definition video from the bedroom right in front of me. Do you really think I wouldn’t do anything to you?” Qin Cen tightened her grip, watching Liang Manqing’s face turn increasingly red.
The Omega showed potential for blackening. Liang Manqing couldn’t breathe, and it felt like she was seeing her final end, but she didn’t want to die so pointlessly.
Liang Manqing forced out a few words: “It was a video of Wei Liuzhi doing bad things…”
Qin Cen eased her grip after hearing that, her hand slowly letting go: “Nothing else?”
Liang Manqing took the opportunity to gulp down air: “…Nothing else. If you don’t believe me, check my phone.”
Qin Cen took the phone and watched the video from beginning to end. She only relaxed after confirming that it didn’t contain any footage from their bedroom last night.
Qin Cen tossed the phone back to her: “Drive me to the hotel from last night.”
“Okay.” Liang Manqing felt like she was alive again: “But…”
Qin Cen was impatient: “What is it now?”
Liang Manqing looked at the person on top of her: “Miss Qin, please get off first. This is the passenger seat.”
Qin Cen had been too agitated just now, flipping over and pinning Liang Manqing beneath her, sitting astride her and choking her neck.
Realizing the position now, Qin Cen was kneeling on the passenger seat, with Liang Manqing’s waist between her legs.
The Alpha’s breathing was heavy, and the Omega’s body moved up and down with her.
Qin Cen: “…”
Liang Manqing controlled the depth of her breathing, restraining her abdomen from rising and falling.
Qin Cen lightly bit her teeth, maintaining a straight face as she moved off Liang Manqing and smoothed out her skirt.
Liang Manqing sat up and massaged her throat. A clear red mark was visible on her slender neck. The mark from being choked this morning hadn’t faded, and now she had a new one.
Qin Cen’s gaze was fixed on Liang Manqing’s neck. The red marks were conspicuous against her pale skin, making her look particularly pathetic and vulnerable, especially with her moist eyes.
Liang Manqing noticed Qin Cen’s gaze and said in a hoarse voice: “I’m fine.”
Qin Cen looked away, maintaining a cold, unconcerned demeanor: “Give me the car keys.”
Liang Manqing handed over the car keys. Qin Cen closed the passenger door, got into the driver’s seat, and quickly drove the car to the place they stayed last night.
Getting out of the car, Liang Manqing caught the car keys Qin Cen tossed to her.
Qin Cen looked at her and asked: “Where is the surveillance video from your room last night?”
The Liang family hotel would not have public surveillance. Liang Manqing’s room was one she often used, and the camera was installed to guard against those around her. The surveillance video was also inside Liang Manqing’s room.
The room had been cleaned. The work desk was next to the huge French window.
Liang Manqing opened the computer, found last night’s surveillance video, and said to Qin Cen: “Miss Qin, I really was very drunk last night, but I absolutely did not collude with Jiang Hejing to frame you.”
The video started with the room door opening. Qin Cen stumbled in, but no one pushed her. Moreover, the video on Liang Manqing’s phone in the car proved that the matter last night had nothing to do with Liang Manqing.
Qin Cen clenched her fist. This time, she had completely walked right into the trap herself.
The video continued to play. Qin Cen already had a pheromone condition, only able to get through her heat periods with medication. Last night, Liang Manqing’s marking surprisingly made her feel more comfortable.
Qin Cen didn’t seem to resist.
The Alpha’s soothing and marking were hundreds of times more effective than medication.
However, Liang Manqing had associated with Jiang Hejing for so long that she was bound to be contaminated by the scumbag’s aura. No one knew which side was the real Liang Manqing.
Qin Cen was momentarily lost in thought. The sound system played the Omega’s flirtatious voice. The video was very clear in night vision mode: Qin Cen was restrained in Liang Manqing’s arms and marked.
Qin Cen snapped out of her trance and covered Liang Manqing’s eyes: “Don’t look.”
A faint rose scent was at her nose. Liang Manqing’s vision went black, and the hand moving the video progress bar with the mouse paused: “If I don’t look, how will I know where to click to delete it?”
In less than a second, the sound system played Qin Cen’s panting again.
Qin Cen immediately turned off the sound, blocked the screen with a book, and then put her hand down: “Hurry up and delete it.”
In her ears was Qin Cen urging her to delete, and in her mind was the beeping threat of the system’s electric shock.
Liang Manqing listened to Qin Cen, moved the mouse to the bottom right corner, clicked delete, and the video instantly vanished.
The system was also very dutiful and gave Liang Manqing an electric shock: 【Host has deleted important video footage, hindering the female supporting character’s blackening.】
Liang Manqing completely ignored the system. Even if the system raged, it could only electrocute her, as it still pinned its hopes on her to take the male lead’s place and be killed by Qin Cen.
System: 【If the Host fails to complete the mission, the punishment protocol will be triggered, and you will not be able to return to your original world.】
Liang Manqing communicated with her mind: 【Who says I won’t complete the mission? Why are you panicking?】
The system choked. It was indeed panicking, which was why Liang Manqing easily tested and figured out its purpose.
After multiple electric shocks, Liang Manqing’s back felt weak and numb. She took a shallow breath and continued: 【Scumbag System, I advise you not to use electric shocks again, and don’t pry into my thoughts. Otherwise, I don’t care about going down with you. If I don’t complete the mission, you won’t have an easy time either.】
In the end, Liang Manqing and the system were a unified entity. The system’s approach was too extreme, setting the two of them up as opponents. Liang Manqing was not one to be forced, so she naturally chose to ignore the system.
The system fell silent. Liang Manqing scoffed softly. No one had ever been able to control her, but since she wanted to return to her original world, Liang Manqing had to follow the tasks given by the system.
The system detected Liang Manqing’s thought and finally relaxed, no longer making a sound.
Qin Cen confirmed the deletion and finally looked up: “Liang Manqing, you had better not have any backups.”
Liang Manqing raised her hands in surrender: “Can I offer myself for a surprise inspection anytime?”
Qin Cen turned and walked out, half-believing and half-doubting.
Liang Manqing changed into comfortable clothes and followed: “Miss Qin, where do you live? I’ll take you back.”
“No need.” Qin Cen walked towards a nearby street alley. Her residence wasn’t far.
Liang Manqing looked at Qin Cen’s retreating back, only thinking that the red formal dress made her look even more fragile.
The street corner was dim, leading to a narrow alley.
Qin Cen’s figure disappeared into the darkness.
Liang Manqing, worried, followed her. Stepping into the alley, she realized the passage was narrow and very dark. She could only proceed using the light from her phone.
It turned out there were such remote residences even in the center of C City.
The area was surrounded by high walls that rose abruptly, strictly blocking it off from the noisy city.
It wasn’t until the iron gate creaked open that Qin Cen reached her residence.
Liang Manqing breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave, only to hear a scream from inside the iron gate. It was Qin Cen’s voice.
Liang Manqing hurriedly pushed the door open: “Miss Qin, what happened?”
The moonlight was bright, and the little rose scent rushed towards her.
Without warning, Qin Cen jumped onto Liang Manqing, wrapping her arms around her neck.
Liang Manqing reached out to catch Qin Cen, holding her tightly, and asked: “What’s wrong?”
