Chapter 139: The Bet

The heavy carved wooden door closed behind him.

Shu Lin stood in the spacious presidential office, looking at Hong Zhengyue seated behind his desk.

His gaze was calm.

Hong Zhengyue leaned back in his leather chair, a cigar between his fingers. Through the swirling smoke, he squinted, sizing up the little Omega before him.

Shu Lin was slender and fair-skinned, the black suit further accentuating his ethereal aura.

But those beautiful almond eyes revealed a stubbornness.

“Shu Lin,” Hong Zhengyue slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his tone carrying a hint of contempt, “Shao Chengxi’s little Omega. You’ve got some nerve.”

Shu Lin lowered his head slightly, his posture respectful, his voice clear:

“President, you’re mistaken. Actually, I’m trembling right now.”

“But I just want to see my Alpha. I miss him so much.”

“I can’t live without him.”

He remembered Shu Lingxiao’s words.

Play the emotional card. Don’t talk politics with this political rogue, just show weakness and talk about feelings.

Hong Zhengyue chuckled. “Shao Chengxi is currently suspected of endangering national security. It’s not like you can see him just because you want to.”

Shu Lin raised his eyes, rims slightly red, his voice carrying a tremor:

“President, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I only know that my Alpha is innocent.”

“I’m really worried about him. I just want to see him once.”

“Also, my heat is coming soon. I’ll be miserable without him by my side…”

A flicker of sarcasm flashed in Hong Zhengyue’s eyes.

An Omega is an Omega, no matter how strong, they can’t escape their dependence on Alphas.

He deliberately drawled out his tone, “Oh? Really? What a coincidence, huh? Hehe, heat…”

Shu Lin nodded, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his suit, looking pitiful:

“Please… let me see him once.”

“Ideally, please release him first so he can be with me during my heat.”

“If you have concerns, you can take alternative measures like house arrest…”

Hong Zhengyue stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, “Alright, I can let you see him.”

Shu Lin’s eyes lit up, not expecting him to give in so easily.

Hong Zhengyue stood up, walked around the desk, and slowly approached him, looking down at him:

“However, the three members of the Shao family are currently being held in a special detention room, guarded by the military police.”

“That’s not a place an Omega like you can just go. Are you sure you want to go there?”

Hmph, the guarding soldiers are all A-class Alphas or higher.

Each of them has blood on their hands, strong and violent.

To put it bluntly, even their pheromones are filled with the scent of blood.

Even an Alpha would struggle to withstand their pheromone pressure, even if this little Omega is US-class, it’s impossible for him to bear it.

And he’s about to go into heat. Stimulated by the pheromones of these Alphas, he’ll probably go into heat on the spot.

At that time…

Haha, this little Omega will probably embarrass Shao Chengxi and shame the entire Shao family.

Thinking of this, Hong Zhengyue deliberately paused, his tone playful:

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, are you sure you can walk up to your Alpha?”

Shu Lin’s face paled slightly. He bit his lip, his eyes hesitant. “I can.”

Hong Zhengyue laughed loudly, as if he had heard a joke.

Truly ignorant and fearless.

“Alright, I promise you, I’ll let you see your Alpha, no, not just your Alpha, you can see any member of the Shao family.”

As long as you can safely walk to the detention room, and not be forced to kneel down by the military police.

Shu Lin’s eyes showed surprise. “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. President… Then, can you consider releasing my Alpha to be with me during my heat?”

Hong Zhengyue narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and a sinister smile hung on his lips:

“That’s not impossible.”

“How about this, I’ll make a bet with you. As long as you can successfully walk into any Shao family member’s detention room, I’ll allow you to take one person away.”

“As for who you want to take, it’s all up to you. I won’t stop you.”

Shu Lin was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his gaze firm:

“Deal. I believe Mr. President is a man of his word and wouldn’t lie to a twenty-year-old Omega like me.”

Hong Zhengyue raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with contempt.

You asked for it, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.

Hong Zhengyue pressed the call button, and the secretary entered.

He waved his hand and ordered:

“Take this ‘brave’ Mr. Shu to the detention room to see Minister Shao.”

After speaking, he looked at Shu Lin again:

“Remember, from the moment you enter the military police’s territory, I’m only giving you half an hour. Do you understand?”

Shu Lin nodded silently.

Hong Zhengyue added:

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

“Isn’t Fuzhong Media doing some kind of live broadcast? Although they can’t legally enter the military police’s area, they can broadcast at the entrance.”

“Aren’t the people all paying attention to the US-class Omega bravely rescuing her husband?”

“Comply with public opinion, arrange a live broadcast, and let everyone see the president’s office’s magnanimity and openness.”

Although the secretary was puzzled, he still replied, “Yes, Mr. President. I’ll arrange it properly.”

Hong Zhengyue turned around and sat back in his chair, smiling meaningfully. “Go on, little Omega. Good luck.”

Truly, ignorance is bliss.

He will have those bloodthirsty Alpha soldiers of the military police give this little Omega a good ‘reception’.

The little Omega probably doesn’t know what hellish pain he’s about to face.

Hopefully, his lewd appearance in heat won’t be exposed too much by his own media’s cameras.

Hehe, it doesn’t matter.

Even if Fuzhong Media reacts quickly and doesn’t broadcast Shao Chengxi’s Omega’s ugly state, he will secretly arrange for other media outlets to help the Shao family.

After all, the public has never seen what a soul-stirring sight a US-class Omega in heat is.

Shu Lin nodded slightly and followed the secretary out of the president’s office.

The moment the heavy carved door closed, Shu Lin’s lips curved slightly.

He followed the secretary to complete the meeting procedures and finally stood at the entrance of the military police’s area.

The heavy metal door gleamed coldly, surrounded by fully armed military police.

The air was filled with a strong Alpha pheromone, like an invisible tide pressing down on everyone who approached.

Shu Lin noticed that reporters from Fuzhong Media were standing outside the Alert line.

This surprised him.

Hong Zhengyue actually allowed the media to broadcast here.

Noticing the camera pointed at him, Shu Lin quickly reacted and smiled slightly at the camera.

Despite his pale face, his eyes were unusually bright.

He took a deep breath, his voice pleasant and clear:

“With everyone’s support, I can finally see my Alpha.”

“It’s exactly ten o’clock at night.”

“This is all the result of everyone’s support. Thank you for your support.”

“Also, I have good news to tell everyone.”

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a few seconds.

“The President made a bet with me.”

“He said that if I can safely see my Alpha within half an hour, he will let me take away a member of the Shao family.”

Shu Lin chuckled:

“The President is very generous, isn’t he?”

“I will cherish this opportunity.”

“Please believe me, I must bring my Alpha out.”

Immediately, the screen was filled with doubts.
