I Found Myself Pregnant After Becoming An Omega 35
Chapter 35: I’m Too Weak
Ji Yu: "So, what do you think
about this?"
"It's hard to say right now. I
can only let people check it out first."
He Zhou looked at the picture and the
content of Ji Yu’s text messages, and his expression turned somewhat imposing,
"Give me your phone and the SIM card, and I will ask someone to
check."
Immediately after hanging up the
phone, He Zhou rushed out and headed towards the hospital.
Although the photos used to blackmail
Ji Yu seems to have nothing to do with him, but they imply huge hidden dangers.
Supposedly, all the surveillance
videos in the bar that day have been completely destroyed, and there should
have never been any exception.
Yet, reality have proven that there
is.
Since this unknown party has videos of
Ji Yu in their hands, they may also have videos of other people.
Now they only threatened Ji Yu, the
next step may be to threaten him.
He Zhou soon arrived at the hospital.
At this time, Ji Yu was still talking
to Xie Yu Xing.
Seeing the person who came in, Ji Yu
pointed to his phone: "The SIM card is in there. The actual phone that the
original Ji Yu used before is at home, in my nightstand. You can go get it
yourself."
"OK."
He Zhou turned
off the phone, then took out two cards from it, "Which one?"
"The green
one."
Ji Yu looked at
He Zhou, and couldn't help asking, "Do you have any ideas? We had
discussed this for a while before you came, and I think it’s very likely that
there is something wrong with the people on your side."
Xie Yu Xing also
nodded: "Yes, the surveillance of that day was handled by your friends."
He Zhou: "I'll
let someone investigate."
Ji Yu frowned:
"How?"
Although Ji Yu
acted calmly, he was quite disturbed. After all, this kind of threat from an unknown
enemy is very unnerving.
Instead of staying
in bed all day and worrying about it, waiting for someone to give him the answer,
JI Yu would much rather be proactive. He wants to have a firm grasp on
something concrete and anticipate the next move.
"Is the entire
surveillance video still available? Can I see it?"
He Zhou looked up
at Ji Yu: "All the videos we found have been destroyed."
The videos that were
sent to Ji Yu's phone were things no one has seen before.
In the end, with
no lead, Ji Yu had no choice but to wait, "Then I’ll leave it to you to
check it out first."
"En."
He Zhou quickly
packed up his things and was about to leave, but when he passed by Xie Yu Xing,
he suddenly stopped. His eyes turned sharply towards Xie Yu Xing’s collar.
Xie Yu Xing
glanced back at He Zhou, straightened his collar with a calm expression: "Hurry
and go."
He Zhou withdrew
his gaze and whispered in a low voice, "You'd better wear a neck
ring."
Without waiting
for a respond, He Zhou left.
Xie Yu Xing was
stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He reached out to pick up an apple
from the table and asked Ji Yu, "Do you want an apple? I'll peel it for
you."
Ji Yu was currently turning on his
phone, and the ringing sound covered up the Alpha’s words just now.
Unconsciously, he said, "You can
eat, I don't have much appetite."
Xie Yu Xing hummed, held up the apple
and took a big bite.
—
Two days later.
He Zhou worked
quickly, and returned to find Ji Yu.
It was the third
day since the operation, and Ji Yu was recovering at home. He has gotten a lot
better, and no longer needs anyone to take care of him.
Except for his
slightly pale face, he looked the same as usual.
When He Zhou arrived
at the house, Ji Yu was playing with Little Yu Zhou.
Both of them were
sitting inside a child playpen, playing with building blocks.
Ji Yu rested his
chin on one hand, and put his other hand on the back of Little Yu Zhou, looking
lazy and bored.
On the contrary, Little
Yu Zhou is very lively, putting together building blocks in his hands, gurgling
nonstop. The whole living room is filled by his baby voice.
He Zhou slowly approached,
"Ji Yu."
Ji Yu and Little Yu Zhou looked up at
the same time.
Different from the past, Little Yu
Zhou just glanced at He Zhou and then lowered his head to play with the building
blocks again, not at all as excited as before, very indifferent.
Ji Yu didn't notice the change in the
child, his eyes fell on the document in He Zhou's hand.
"Does your investigation already
have results?"
He Zhou: "This can’t be count as
a result yet."
At the moment, there were only the two
adults in the room, plus a child who couldn't understand any words.
He Zhou didn't shy away from the main
point. He took off his shoes, stepped into the playpen, sat cross-legged next
to Ji Yu, and handed Ji Yu a file.
"Here, take a look."
Ji Yu took the document and was about
to read it when He Zhou hissed.
He raised his head and found that He
Zhou was looking at Little Yu Zhou in surprise.
Ji Yu was a little confused, and
lowered his head to look down, before showing the same surprised expression as
He Zhou.
"Don't you know him?"
He reached out and touched Little Yu
Zhou’s head, "Huh? Why did you push him?"
Little Yu Zhou’s two small fleshy
hands were resting on He Zhou's knees, his cheeks were bulging like a goldfish,
and his small body leaned forward as if he had used all his strength.
The two little hands were still
holding building blocks, and Ji Yu guessed that it was the sharp corners of the
building blocks stabbed into He Zhou’s legs, causing him to hissed out in pain.
In the past, every time He Zhou came, Little
Yu Zhou would look at him eagerly, his eyes full of yearning.
However, this time it was really the
opposite, not only was the child not excited, but he also tried to chase He
Zhou away.
Ji Yu subconsciously touched the gauze
on the back of his neck.
Could it be because he had the
operation?
He Zhou looked down at the little baby,
and quickly pull back his legs.
Little Yu Zhou’s hands were short, so when
the legs were retracted, his whole body rushed forward.
Fortunately, He Zhou reached out and
caught him in time.
As a result, Little Yu Zhou frowned
and yelled to push He Zhou's hand away, kicking and hitting, and kept shrinking
back as if He Zhou's hands had some terrible germs.
He Zhou raised his eyebrows with an
inexplicable expression.
Seeing this, Ji Yu directly grabbed
Little Yu Zhou into his embrace.
As soon as the little guy was in his
arms, he immediately became obedient. His two fleshy little hands tightly
grasped Ji Yu’s clothes, his little head was pressed against Ji Yu’s chest, his
mouth was pouted, and he hummed aggrievedly twice.
Ji Yu stroked Little Yu Zhou’s back,
looked at He Zhou and said, "Why don't you move a bit further away?"
"……OK."
He Zhou moved about one meter away
from Ji Yu.
Ji Yu patted Little Yu Zhou and
motioned for him to look at He Zhou: "Can he sit there?"
Little Yu Zhou kicked his tiny legs,
his mouth was flattened, and he still looked unhappy.
He Zhou was silent, and took the
initiative and stepped back another meter.
Finally, Little Yu Zhou no longer
pouted, he pointed at the building block, signaling for Ji Yu to put him back
to continue playing.
Seeing that the child had settled
down, Ji Yu wanted to find a different place to talk with He Zhou, but he
didn't expect Little Yu Zhou to be quite clever.
The little boy grabbed the corner of Ji
Yu’s clothes in one hand and played with the building blocks with his other
hand, neither letting go of his mother nor stopping his game.
Ji Yu pointed to Little Yu Zhou’s hand
holding the corner of his clothes, a bit defeated.
"Why don’t we just stand here and
talk?"
He Zhou nodded:
"It’s fine, we can just talk like this."
He Zhou glanced
at little Yu Zhou, and felt a bit disappointed.
After all, this
little baby used to be even more enthusiastic towards him than Ji Yu, always yelling
“Papa” happily whenever he came to the house.
Now the child
looked at him as if he was a bad guy.
The contrast was
really too big.
On the other
side, Ji Yu opened the file, and found a bunch of unfamiliar names inside.
Although the names were unfamiliar, it
did not affect the overall content of the documents. Piecing together the many
relevant information, Ji Yu finally had a complete picture of the story of that
night.
Similar to what Xie Yu Xing had told
him, the original Ji Yu had wanted to enter the entertainment industry, chasing
after money, fame, and with some luck, a rich husband.
Thus, he took great risk in going to
meet with a famous photographer that day at the bar, knowing full well what
might happen to him.
However, when he arrived, the original Ji
Yu got cold feet, and did not agree to the ‘unspoken rules’ of the
entertainment industry, refusing to exchange his body for a job.
In the end, he was drugged with an
estrus stimulant, and was thrown out to be humiliated and played with in
public.
At that time, there were two groups of
people present.
Firstly, there was the group of young actors
who were there to ‘audition’ for a job.
Theoretically speaking, there is no motive for them to get involved in Ji Yu's incident.
The original Ji Yu had only just reached the audition stage of the talent-acquisition agency, and had not been confirmed to be included in the final list of selected talents. As such, things like competition and rivalry had not yet formed, and no one would be free enough to play dirty tricks on a nobody like him.
The second group there that night was the famous
photographer and his circle of friends.
These were all experienced veterans in the entertainment industry, and they fully understand the hidden nature of the ‘unspoken rules,’ as well as having their own reputation to protect.
They would never dare to capture this sort of thing on camera, lest they get accidentally get expose for their dirty deeds.
Why would they take such great risk just to threaten a mere
poor high-school student?
Aside from these two groups, there is
only Xie Yu Xing left, but he was waiting for the original Ji Yu outside the
bar.
Up until something happened to the
original Ji Yu, Xie Yu Xing couldn’t contact his friend at all. In the end, he had no
choice but to go in.
However, before Xie Yu Xing could even enter the bar, the surveillance room was already taken over by He Zhou's friends, so
he can’t be the one recording.
Then the person who recorded the video
can only be someone from He Zhou's side.
Ji Yu carefully looked over the list
of guests at He Zhou's banquet that day:
Xie Qi
Fei Qiu
Xu Zhen
Lin Kun
Zhao Yang Xu
Ji Heng
…
While reading, Ji
Yu casually made some guesses.
"About Xie
Qi, I know that he originally had a marriage contract with you, but was broken
by the original Ji Yu, so he has a motive for revenge."
"Ji Heng is the half-brother of the original Ji Yu, and he
also has motives. After all, the original Ji Yu is entitled to a share of his
father’s inheritance and that can really affect Ji Heng’s interests."
Ji Yu finished flipping through the information, "That’s all,
I don't know anyone else."
He Zhou suddenly spoke.
"The surveillance that day was handled by Ji Heng, Xie Qi and
Lin Kun."
As soon as these words came out, it was almost confirmed that the
person who threatened Ji Yu was one of these three people.
"Lin Kun?"
"He is the former captain of the basketball team. He
graduated last year and is now in Beicheng City. He has never come into contact
with the original Ji Yu."
Ji Yu nodded: "Then only Xie Qi and Ji Heng are left."
After speaking, he raised his eyes, looked at He Zhou with a
serious expression, and lowered his voice deliberately, "So which one is
it?"
However, He Zhou
shook his head.
"I'm not
sure. It's been more than a year, and all videos pertaining to the incident has
long been destroyed. It's hard to verify the specific situation. In addition,
no useful information has been found on the phone. The other party is very
cunning. I suspect that the original Ji Yu may not know who the person on the
other end is."
Ji Yu rested his
chin on one hand: "Then has either of them caused you any trouble recently?"
"One has,
the other doesn't."
"Who is causing
trouble with you?"
He Zhou said
without hesitation: "Xie Qi. Since the dissolution of the engagement, the
relationship between me and him is not very good. There has also been a cold
war between the two families for a while now, and only recently did things eased
somewhat."
Ji Yu recalled his
first meeting with Xie Qi, and said, "He still likes you."
Ji Yu was very
adamant about this. After all, if Xie Qi no longer cared about He Zhou, why would he be so
hostile every time they met?
"Yes." After
He Zhou finished speaking, he added, "But I don't like him."
"Oh."
Ji Yu was not in a hurry to convict anyone,
he picked up his phone again and looked at the time of the two text messages.
"The first message was on the Monday
after you temporarily marked me, and the second message came the day after I
washed off your mark."
He Zhou: "A week
before your operation, Xie Qi returned from abroad."
"Why did he come back?"
"His parents took the initiative
to contact my parents, they wanted to re-establish the engagement."
He Zhou once again added, "I have
already refused."
Ji Yu looked straight at He Zhou:
"Did only his parents wanted to restore the engagement, or did he himself
also wanted to?"
He Zhou remembered the text message
Xie Qi sent him: "He also wanted to."
Ji Yu sighed softly and blinked.
All the clues seemed to be
straightened out at this moment, and they all pointed to Xie Qi.
Thinking from the perspective of Xie
Qi, who was a bit obsessed with He Zhou, then the two text messages can also be
explained:
The first message was to just scare Ji
Yu into leaving He Zhou.
The second message was probably
because Ji Yu slapped He Zhou in the face by washing off the mark, so Xie Qi wanted to get justice for his sweetheart.
"What are you going to do next? Confront
him?"
"We have no proof."
"Ah?" Ji Yu was taken aback.
He Zhou pointed
to file, "These is all our assumptions. There is nothing in these
documents that can prove without a shadow of a doubt that Xie Qi was the
culprit.”
“Conversely,
there is no evidence to prove that Ji Heng is innocent, nor any for Lin Kun. Maybe
it was Lin Kun who had passed the surveillance videos to others."
Ji Yu's head
suddenly became dizzy: "Then can you hired a professional hacker to trace
this number to the person behind it?"
He Zhou chuckled
lightly: "Do you think the person I'm working with is inferior to some off-the-street
hacker?"
"Is it so
difficult to find the person behind the phone number?"
Ji Yu spread his
hands, and then patted his forehead as if thinking of something, "Oh yes,
the owner of this phone is a fishmonger."
He suddenly looked at He Zhou,
"Do you think it is possible to talk to that fishmonger..."
He Zhou shook his head slowly.
Ji Yu sighed: "Ah, right."
He thought for a while, took out his
phone, and found the text message Wen Yu Wei sent him. (stepmother)
"Why don't I go back to the Ji's
house this National Day."
"What are you going back
for?"
Ji Yu was helpless and a little
irritable: "Doesn’t this involves Ji Heng? I'm going back to find out what kind
of attitude this so-called 'brother' has towards the original Ji Yu.”
“If it not him, then Xie Qi is the
only one that could have done it. Who else would pay so much attention to my
relationship with you all the time? Don’t tell the captain of the basketball
team also have a crush on you?"
Ji Yu sighed, "Also, do you know
why that person dared to threaten me with these things? Or the original Ji Yu?"
"It’s because in their eyes, I’m
too weak."
So what if Ji Yu have a bit of savings
and a house?
Compared with a true elitist, someone that
has status, background, and powerful backings…
He is nothing.
