It took Ai Heng nearly twenty minutes to finally find a way to the top floor.
The security measures at Hotel X were very strict.
Even a top detective like Ai Heng had to be extremely alert to barely avoid the dense surveillance cameras, pass through the tight security checkpoints, and finally sneak into the VIP reception floor that had never been visited by any living person.
x Hotel, top floor, linen room.
Two bad Omegas who had just finished cleaning were chatting while Ai Heng was lying in the ventilation duct above their heads, his face covered in sweat.
He was busy multitasking. On one hand, he and Sheng Shaoyou were broadcasting live what they saw and heard, on the other hand, he was distractedly monitoring the bug that he had installed at the hotel front desk. At the same time, he had to find a hidden exit on the top floor which was under strict surveillance and would not be discovered.
Ai Heng was extremely busy, but he was used to it and didn't think it was hard. While Sheng Shaoyou was silent, he even had the leisure to listen to the conversation between the two Omega cleaners below.
But after hearing just two sentences, Ai Heng's expression suddenly became serious.
"Hey, have you seen the Omega from 9901?"
"That orchid-scented little beauty?"
"Yes, that little face is so pretty! Oh, what a pity -" "What a pity?"
"It's a pity that it was almost destroyed by those violent Alphas." The Omega who spoke had a mysterious expression, but his tone did not soften: "I heard from Xiao Zhang who works on the night shift that just a few days ago, in the middle of the night, this orchid that was used to receive high-level Alphas was carried out covered in blood!"
"Really? I saw him from a distance on the day he first moved in! I didn't see his face clearly, but an Omega who is surrounded by a group of S- and A-level Alphas can't be that ugly!"
"Not only is she not ugly, she's simply a goddess!"
The older female Omega leaning against the cabinet pulled out an ambiguous smile: "She has a cold and abstinent face but is still treated like that. If I were an Alpha, I would definitely give him everything if he cried —" The Omega curled his lips in sarcasm and disdain:
"With such great charm, he deserved to be arranged to take on eight tasks last night."
"One to eight?" The younger Omega, who was new, asked in confusion, "What do you mean by one to eight?"
"Haven't you heard of it?" The older Omega glanced at the ignorant junior arrogantly. "This floor is where X Group specially uses to receive VIP guests. But those wealthy and powerful politicians and celebrities have tried everything. Now that they are here, they naturally want to find something new to try. For the wild Alpha, what could be more exciting than a brutal and rough group sport?"
"——Besides, a room like Room 9901 must have a lot of guests coveting it. If we queue up one by one, it will take forever. So, for the sake of efficiency, some overlap is welcome. Many of the regulars here are old acquaintances, and it is common for acquaintances to party together. After all, sharing an Omega is also a form of cooperation, which shows intimacy!"
The young Omega opened his eyes wide in shock:
"You mean, one to eight means…" The Omega's face turned red, and he stammered, "You mean, he was alone, was…" Ai Heng: !!! ???
Sheng Shaoyou:!!!!!!
"Ai Heng."
"ah?"
"Bring him out."
Zi—— "W-what?" There was signal interference on this floor. Ai Heng was startled by the buzzing noise in his ears. He adjusted his headphones with some difficulty before he could hear his employer's voice again.
On the other end of the radio wave, Sheng Shaoyou, who was on the verge of collapse, said in a hoarse and dry voice: "Bring out the Omega they are talking about immediately! Bring him back to me!"
"Mr. Sheng!" Ai Heng spoke quickly but softly, "My hearing is normal. You are speaking too loudly now. I am almost deaf."
"Bring him back!" Sheng Shaoyou didn't know what volume he had used. When he came to his senses, the desk next to him was empty. The decorations, documents, and pen holder that were originally on the desk were scattered all over the room.
He shook his palms, which were numb from the shock of the wooden tabletop, and grabbed his shirt tightly on his chest, wrinkling the stiff fabric. The back of his hand was cut by some sharp object, and it was visibly swollen and bleeding a lot.
But this little flesh wound was nothing to Sheng Shaoyou, who was suffering from a heart spasm. His mind was in a mess, and he was thinking quickly about the current situation.
Earlier, X Holdings had publicly stated that it would seek partners in Jiangsu and Shanghai to jointly build a central factory and develop and produce new pheromone-related products in China.
Sheng Shaoyou knew that Shen Wenlang must want to grab this piece of cake just like him. But he didn't expect that the beast who should be hit by a car when he went out would give Hua Yong to X Holdings.
Why should he? That was the delicate Omega that Sheng Shaoyou was reluctant to touch! Shen Wenlang wanted to cooperate with X Holdings, why should he use Sheng Shaoyou's Omega in exchange!
Sheng Shaoyou bit his knuckles and paced back and forth in the huge office unconsciously. ——I was too lenient that day! I should have killed him! I should have skinned Shen Wenlang! I should have chopped off his head and thrown it on display in the street!
Hua Yong was on the top floor of the hotel owned by X Holdings.
This hotel is also well-known in Sheng Shaoyou's circle. It was where the previous heads of X Holdings received dignitaries in their early years. After the new head took office, he immediately started to renovate it and turned it into one of the most luxurious hotels in the country and even the entire northern hemisphere. It was reopened last year.
There, the hotel can provide everything that the guests cannot think of. As long as you pay, you can enjoy a full range of treatment that will relax your body and mind.
Li Baiqiao had been there several times before the renovation. Even a wild man like him said it was exciting and addictive. Presumably, the service facilities will be even better after the reopening.
Sheng Shaoyou had never been there, but he had heard that the higher the floor, the higher the reception level. The entire top floor was once a paradise on earth for perverts.
The two Omegas who were discussing this matter obviously didn't know that with just a few words they had stirred up a hornet's nest in Sheng Shaoyou's arms.
The older one smiled and said, "I have worked in this hotel for almost twenty years. Seven or eight years ago, before the young master came to power, I saw with my own eyes an Omega being beaten to death by four Alphas. The man was then wrapped in a sheet and sent out. The body was still warm. It was very miserable."
The younger one was startled again and asked timidly, "What happened next?"
"Who knows?" The older Omega said nonchalantly, "Maybe they were thrown into the river. Even the window glass on this floor is thickened and bulletproof. It's impossible for an Omega sent here to break the window or jump off the building. Life and death depend on fate.
Did you know that the doors of all the guest rooms here are specially made, not only with strong sound insulation, but also with pheromone isolation function.
Guess what it's for?"
The young Little O received so much information in just a few minutes that he had difficulty digesting it. He said in a daze, "The soundproofing is to prevent the guests in other rooms from being disturbed. The pheromone isolation door is to isolate the pheromones?
Why? Is it because they are afraid that the smell will be too strong and it will be unpleasant if mixed together?"
The older senior nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. Think about it, if a few Alphas fight against an Omega, you will also scream your throat out, right?"
The young Little O's body suddenly trembled, his anus tightened, and he shrank his neck and said awkwardly: "For the first time, I think that being an ugly Omega like me is not a bad thing."
Little O, an intern who had only been here for two months, was terrified, but at the same time wanted to listen. He looked up and saw the older Omega senior staring at him. He immediately showed a curious expression and asked, "You just said that I got most of the answers right, so where was the mistake?"
The elder O did not answer but asked, "Have you ever heard of forced fever?"
"Huh?" Little O looked at him blankly and answered hesitantly, "I only know about fever. I learned about it in biology textbooks in middle school. Every Omega has a fixed fever period, and Alphas have a susceptible period."
The older O laughed again and rubbed the head of the junior opposite her. "Don't recite the books! Books are for good kids! The ways of society are mostly not taught in schools." She licked her lips that were almost peeling and dried up and continued, "If a delicate Omega is in the same room with too many malicious Alphas releasing pheromones, he will be worse off than dead and can only be slaughtered."
Seeing the young generation who had never seen the world turned pale, the older Omega grinned again:
"In fact, Xiao Zhang on the night shift also sympathizes with the kid. I heard that he was not so obedient at the beginning. He was born with such a delicate and beautiful face, but when he first came, he was extremely stubborn. He was forced to smell so many Alpha pheromones, and he still had the energy to bite his wrist to commit suicide."
"ah?"
Young Little O suddenly recalled the quick glimpse he caught in front of the corridor that day.
The beautiful orchid-scented Omega receptionist at 9901 was slender but tall. She didn't look short even when standing next to a group of top Alphas. Her delicate frame was wrapped in a dark windbreaker uniform, and her skin was white enough to glow.
His whole aura was very cold, more like a virgin than a public relations officer.
Little O suddenly remembered a scene from an ancient ghost story, where a pure and innocent fairy servant was accidentally dragged by a ghost and fell into a hell of tormenting desire.
It was hard to imagine how desperate such a person with a soul of ice and snow must be to bite his wrist and commit suicide.
... Sheng Shaoyou couldn't listen for a second longer.
Hua Yong's innocent and shy smile kept appearing in my mind.
Those tender moments in their past, with the soft glow of the sun, made him feel uneasy, as if he was pierced by a thousand arrows.
My orchid.
My flower poem.
One to many? How could he? How could he be willing to… That thin-skinned and stubborn Omega was so awkward even when kissing that Sheng Shaoyou had to hold his face to prevent him from running away out of shyness in the middle of the kiss.
The S-rank Alpha whose Omega was taken away was about to go crazy.
He closed his eyes in pain, as if a piece of flesh was cut out of his heart. His chest heaved violently and his breathing was so rapid that it seemed as if his lungs were broken.
A large, dilapidated hole opened up in the desolate chest, and the cold air seemed to solidify and poured in without mercy, making a hoarse "hissing" sound like a broken bellows in the damaged lungs.
Sheng Shaoyou thought of Hua Yong's pretty face, the omega's fair skin without pores, his ears that would turn red with shyness even when kissed, and his pheromone disorder… Those Alphas who were out for fun would never mark him, they would kill him!
Sheng Shaoyou couldn't help but imagine Hua Yong being wrapped in a bed sheet and carried out of the room covered in blood… Thinking of his orchid, it opened its mouth in despair and bit its own wrist just to end it.
Sheng Shaoyou's heart was broken.
When he held that slender, white wrist, he didn't dare to use any strength, for fear that it would break.
It must be so painful if you bite yourself.
The more Sheng Shaoyou thought about it, the more difficult it became for him to breathe, as if an invisible hand was firmly gripping his throat.
Those people would definitely not stop like Sheng Shaoyou did just because Hua Yong said "stop". They didn't care whether Hua Yong was happy or not, they only cared about themselves.
His forehead was pressed tightly against his wrists resting on the table, his eyes unconsciously became hot, and drops of transparent water fell on the table one by one.
Sheng Shaoyou's vision became blurry and he didn't even know what he was saying to Ai Heng.
He was almost self-abusing, thinking intently, and the thought of someone watering his orchids made his lively heart feel as if it were being strangled. The piece of flesh in his chest that was beating hard was trembling and emitting a sharp pain as if it were being crushed, and it was about to stop.
"Ai Heng, bring him back. I'll give you 100 million. As long as you bring him out alive, you can take the cash away immediately and win my favor forever."
Ai Heng took off his headphones, rubbed his ears that were almost deafened by the noise, wiped his sweat-soaked forehead and said, "Okay, considering the huge amount of the reward, I won't ask for any extra medical expenses."
