Chapter 89: Deserves to be Shot

Shao Chengxi picked up the documents on the table and threw them at Ma Yuan’s feet, his eyes filled with cold ruthlessness:

“Before I intervened, I would have used this evidence to bring you to justice.”

“Since you’re so bold, I’ll play a bigger game with you.”

“I won’t use any of this evidence. I’ll only use the evidence of you selling classified information from the Presidential Palace.”

“Because…” he deliberately drawled, “your son is also involved in this matter.”

Ma Yuan’s lips twitched slightly, but he remained silent.

Shao Chengxi continued:

“You probably don’t know, but your son is still engaging in similar activities, using your position to sell information and seek personal gain.”

Ma Yuan’s pupils shook, and he finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly:

“Minister Shao, do you have evidence for what you’re saying? Don’t just throw accusations around without proof.”

Shao Chengxi scoffed and didn’t respond. He turned to his subordinate and said:

“Issue my order: Use all resources to apprehend Ma Yuan’s son, Ma Yaozu. If he resists arrest, shoot him on sight, no approval needed.”

“Yes!”

“No, no, Minister Shao, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything.” Ma Yuan instantly broke down. “Don’t kill my son, please, don’t kill him. He’s the only son I have after so much difficulty. You can’t kill him, you can’t…”

He knew that for national security reasons and because it involved the interests of the current President, the Ministry of Defense had the authority to shoot suspects on sight.

If Shao Chengxi wanted to, his son would die, whether he resisted arrest or not.

Shao Chengxi issuing such an order was telling him that if he didn’t speak, his son would die.

And Ma Yaozu was Ma Yuan’s lifeline.

Shao Chengxi stared at the emotionally unstable Ma Yuan, his face expressionless.

After a long while, Ma Yuan finally calmed down and looked at Shao Chengxi with pleading eyes.

Shao Chengxi watched him indifferently and said calmly, “Are you clear on your current situation?”

Ma Yuan nodded in despair. “Minister Shao, I was confused before. You can ask me anything you want to know, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Shao Chengxi didn’t waste any time and went straight to the point:

“Did Pei Yuan buy my rut information from you?”

Ma Yuan hesitated for a moment. “He did, before the Presidential Palace meeting.”

“During that time, besides him, who else bought this information?”

“Only Pei Yuan, no one else.”

“Were you involved in the sonic pheromone attack he used against me with that information?”

Ma Yuan said anxiously, “No, I wasn’t involved. This matter has nothing to do with me.”

Shao Chengxi sneered. “It seems you weren’t involved, but you know the inside story. Tell me, who was involved in this matter?”

Ma Yuan pursed his lips for a moment. “As far as I know, Guan Jiafan, the Minister of Health, was involved. He should be the one who provided Pei Yuan with the sonic pheromone.”

At this moment, a subordinate came in with Ma Yuan’s phone and handed it to Shao Chengxi. “Minister Shao, it’s a call from Pei Yuan.”

Shao Chengxi glanced at the caller ID, raised his chin, “Give it to Ma Yuan, put it on speakerphone, and let him answer.”

The phone was placed in front of Ma Yuan.

Shao Chengxi said, “I don’t need to say much, you know what you should say.”

Ma Yuan nodded honestly. “I know.”

Then, the call was connected.

Pei Yuan’s voice came from the other end of the line:

“Director Ma, where have you been? I can’t find you anywhere.”

Ma Yuan raised his eyes to look at Shao Chengxi, and under his gaze, he calmed his tone.

“I’m on a secret mission, can’t disclose it. Minister Pei, is there something you need?”

Pei Yuan’s voice on the other end was slightly lowered:

“There is something I need your help with.”

“At Shao Chengxi’s birthday banquet last time, the newly appointed Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I wonder if you still remember her?”

Ma Yuan: “Yes, her name is Shu Lingxiao, she came from the Procuratorate. What do you want with her?”

Pei Yuan: “I’m not asking about her, I want to investigate her younger brother, Shu Lin. I investigated him a few days ago and found that his identity is a bit abnormal. I suspect he’s using a virtual identity. Help me confirm it.”

Ma Yuan said in surprise, “A virtual identity? Only US-Class Omegas involve virtual identities. Do you suspect that this boy named Shu Lin is a one-in-a-million US-Class Omega?”

Pei Yuan: “That’s right. You may not have noticed, but this Omega named Shu Lin is stunningly beautiful, but when I checked, he was just a B-Class Omega, and his other information is a bit abnormal, so I have this suspicion.”

Ma Yuan was a little puzzled: “What are you investigating him for? Don’t you already have an S-Class Omega?”

Pei Yuan was obviously used to being unrestrained in front of Ma Yuan, and said:

“How can an S-Class Omega compare to a one-in-a-million US-Class Omega?”

“Besides, I haven’t marked him yet, so what’s the big deal?”

“If this boy named Shu Lin is really a US-Class Omega, I definitely won’t let him go.”

“No matter what, I’ll mark him first, whether he wants to or not, and take him as my own.”

Ma Yuan frowned:

“It’s illegal to disclose the identity of a US-Class Omega without the consent of the virtual identity. If you force yourself on him, it’s an even greater crime.”

“Minister Pei, I think you should know these legal regulations.”

A burst of wild laughter came from the other end of the phone:

“Hahaha… Director Ma, are you kidding me?”

“For people like us, if such trivial matters were considered illegal, you and I would have been shot countless times.”

Ma Yuan suddenly felt a terrible pressure of icy pheromones.

When he looked up, he found that Shao Chengxi was standing in front of him, his eyes sinister.

Shao Chengxi, facing the speakerphone, spoke slowly and fiercely:

“Pei Yuan, I’m Shao Chengxi. Don’t you want to know Shu Lin’s identity?”

“I’ll satisfy your curiosity.”

A gasp came from the other end of the phone.

“That’s right, he’s a one-in-a-million US-Class Omega.”

“And… he’s my Omega, a legally married Omega.”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Yuan’s eyes widened like cow eyes.

“Pei Yuan, you listen to me clearly, you deserve to be shot.”

As he said that, Shao Chengxi squeezed the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, as if he was strangling Pei Yuan’s neck.

“But before you’re shot, if any of my Omega’s identities are leaked, whether you did it or not, I’ll put it on your head.”

“That will be your death date.”

“I, Shao Chengxi, mean what I say.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ma Yuan was already suppressed by his pheromones to the point of bleeding from his nose, unable to utter a single word.
