The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 22

Pfft.

Jin Xi couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Did Xiao Ye even realize how absurd he sounded, delivering such lines with a completely straight face?

Ye Zhi’s words successfully enraged the man. His expression twisted, and his voice cracked as he spat

What right do you have to say that?! You’re just a slut who slept with investors to get on the show! What right do you have?! I should be the one participating! I’m the one who deserves Xiao Qin! You fucking—muffled grunt…

Jin Xi clamped his hand over the man’s mouth, simultaneously releasing more pheromones that made cold sweat bead on the man’s forehead.

He stared into the man’s eyes, his voice low and threatening

Try cursing again.

Qin Siran felt overwhelmed by the oppressive pheromones. His body burned with discomfort, and his face flushed crimson as he warned

Brother Jin, ease up on the pheromones.

The Alpha pheromones in the air were dangerously concentrated, threatening to trigger his heat cycle.

Hearing this, Jin Xi finally remembered the Omega present and reluctantly dialed back his pheromone release.

Feeling slightly relieved, Qin Siran stepped out from behind Ye Zhi.

He crouched down in front of the man and asked softly

So, you wanted to murder Xiao Ye because of the trending searches online? And you even planned to forcibly take me, an Omega?

Qin Siran deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound gentle and seductive. He even released a small amount of calming pheromones.

To avoid causing a commotion among the crowd, Qin Siran kept the pheromone release within a safe threshold, ensuring only the man in front of him could detect it.

The scent of Bai Cha pheromones lingered in the man’s nostrils. He stopped struggling, gazing at Qin Siran with a dazed expression before nodding slowly.

Yes, I wanted to murder Ye Zhi. And I wanted to forcibly take an Omega.

Hearing this, Qin Siran’s gentle facade vanished. He stood up and looked toward the officers standing nearby.

Officer, he has confessed to premeditated murder and maliciously releasing pheromones in public with the intent to forcibly take an Omega. According to civil law and the Omega Protection Act, he should spend the rest of his life in prison. Please arrest him now.

Outside the crowd, police officers had just arrived when they heard the assailant confess to his crimes.

The lead officer paused for a moment, realizing the suspect had spared them the interrogation process. He snapped to attention, saluted crisply, and signaled his colleagues to take the criminal away.

Noticing the suspect’s empty hands, the officer turned to Ye Zhi and the others.

Where’s his weapon?

Ye Zhi remembered knocking the dagger to the ground, but a quick search revealed nothing. He frowned.

It should be on the ground… how can we not find it?

Since the suspect had already confessed, recovering the weapon wasn’t strictly necessary.

The officer didn’t press the matter further. If we can’t find it, no problem. We’ll take him in now.

As the criminal was led away, he shouted

Qin Siran! You’re no saint either! You seduced me! You were seducing me just now!

Ye Zhi looked utterly bewildered. He turned to Qin Siran.

Brother Qin, why is he saying you seduced him?

Qin Siran explained the basics of Omega pheromones to Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi finally understood that an Omega’s calming pheromones could be alluring to Alphas. When properly controlled, they could even coax out the truth.

Seeing Ye Zhi’s shocked expression, Qin Siran chuckled and joked, Betas can sometimes differentiate into Omegas, you know. Maybe you’ll even experience it firsthand someday.

At the time, Qin Siran had no idea that this casual remark would soon become reality, and that Ye Zhi would later use it against him.

With the situation resolved, the crowd that had gathered to watch gradually dispersed.

However, a few young girls remained, gazing at Ye Zhi with a mixture of longing and hesitation.

Ye Zhi took the initiative and approached them. Is there something you wanted to say?

One of the girls spoke hesitantly, I… we’ve been watching your romance variety show, and… we wanted to apologize.

Once someone broke the ice, the others quickly followed suit.

The girls behind her chimed in

We’re sorry, Xiao Ye. We shouldn’t have believed those rumors online and left those nasty comments.

Yeah, I always thought you couldn’t be as bad as they said on Weibo. I apologize for my previous words.

This sudden wave of support left Ye Zhi feeling both flattered and overwhelmed.

He rubbed his earlobe self-consciously, smiling as he said, I don’t blame you. There’s no need to apologize.

The man who had been so cool and commanding just moments ago now looked as bashful as a little white rabbit, sending the girls into a frenzy.

I never expected you to be so kind! I’m your biggest fan from now on!

If anyone ever insults you again, Zhou Qianqian will be the first to make them pay!

You were so cool just now! Kicking that thug flying with one kick and protecting the Omega!

It wasn’t just the girl in front of Ye Zhi who felt this way; the livestream chat also erupted in a frenzy of support

Holy sh1t, that was incredible! Ye Zhi was so badass!

I’m calling him ‘hubby’ now! That kick that took down the thug was pure alpha energy!

How could someone like him ever seduce anyone? That Weibo post was definitely a lie!

Just as the chat was reaching peak excitement, the livestream suddenly cut out.

The cameraman had finally snapped out of his daze and realized the broadcast was still running. He quickly shut it down.

The incident had escalated too far and was now considered a filming accident.

RomanceVarietyShowContestantAttackedByHaters

The hashtag quickly trended on Weibo. Netizens uploaded clips of Ye Zhi subduing the attacker, instantly gaining him countless new fans. Doubts about the authenticity of the previous night’s Weibo post began to spread.

As if responding to the public’s speculation, the other protagonist mentioned in the Weibo post released a clarification video.

Xu Shengyuan was discussing a contract with a new guest. While the guest reviewed the document, Xu Shengyuan casually opened Weibo, only to discover news of the incident on the show.

The contract looks good. I’ve signed it, the guest said, handing the document to Xu Shengyuan.

The young man wore a white short-sleeved shirt, his features delicate and obedient, his puppy-like eyes exceptionally endearing. Yet there was not a trace of a smile in his eyes, making him seem unapproachable.

What a waste of such a charming face.

Alright, take a seat for now. I’ll drive you to the villa later, Xu Shengyuan said without looking up, seemingly preoccupied with typing something on his phone.

The other man acknowledged him, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to Xu Shengyuan’s phone.

A video was playing on the screen, the footage shaky and likely recorded accidentally, the setting resembling a film set.

A horse had suddenly panicked, and amidst the chaos, a young man in red had leaped onto its back, calming the frenzied animal.

When that beautiful face came into view, the expression of the usually expressionless new guest subtly shifted.

The clarification video Xu Shengyuan had posted documented everything that had happened on the set that day.

It included Ye Zhi taming the crazed horse, Lu Qingze losing control during his sensitivity period, and Xu Shengyuan grabbing Ye Zhi as he was about to leave, discussing the Romance Variety Show with him.

As soon as the video was released, the negative comments about Ye Zhi vanished instantly, and the internet was purged of insults.

Even Qin Fans and Lu Fans, who had always disliked Ye Zhi, toned down their animosity significantly, their impressions of him undergoing a dramatic shift for the better.

This was especially true for Qin Fans, who couldn’t possibly repay kindness with malice after Ye Zhi had protected their idol. Some even went to the original post to denounce the blogger, only to find the account had already been deleted.

This act only further confirmed that Ye Zhi had been unfairly smeared. C University students, in particular, felt deeply for their junior’s unjust treatment.

Yet, from this misfortune came a stroke of luck. More and more people became fans of the handsome Beta. The Super Topic, newly created by C University students the previous night, was flooded with casual fans and those drawn by his looks.

The young man’s deft horsemanship even drew shrieks of delight from Omegas in the comments

My new husband has arrived!

Too handsome! Who wouldn’t fall for him?!

I’m already in bed! Husband, come tame me!

At the supermarket where the incident had occurred, Ye Zhi and the others had already left.

The once-bustling supermarket had fallen into an eerie silence after the murder.

Amidst the unsettling quiet, a figure slowly emerged from behind the shelves. Long bangs obscured his eyes, revealing only his sharp jawline.

In his hand, he clutched the dagger Ye Zhi had failed to find, a faint trace of bl00d still clinging to its blade.

In the supermarket’s blind spot, the man brought the dagger to his nose, inhaled deeply, and murmured softly, Finally found you.

Meanwhile, back at the cabin, Ye Zhi and the others had returned. Qin Siran was disinfecting Ye Zhi’s neck wound with iodine.

Ye Zhi insisted disinfection wasn’t necessary; the shallow cut would scab over soon enough. But Qin Siran and Jin Xi were adamant, leaving him no choice but to relent.

Just then, Liu Yi finally arrived, having rushed to the scene.

Xiao Ye, I’m truly sorry, Liu Yi said breathlessly as he entered. I’ve already fired that irresponsible cameraman. This incident was my fault, and I sincerely apologize.

This was the first time Ye Zhi had met the director behind the show since filming began.

The man appeared to be in his thirties or forties, slightly overweight but with fair skin and an extremely kind face, like an aged prosperity doll.

Um… the analogy wasn’t great, but Ye Zhi couldn’t think of a better way to describe the man.

In short, he had a very kind-looking face.

Ye Zhi smiled and replied, I’m fine. There’s no need to apologize.

Jin Xi, however, was far from calm. His words crackled with anger

Since you invited us onto this show, shouldn’t you at least ensure our basic safety? If Xiao Ye had reacted even a second slower, someone could have died!

Liu Yi broke into a cold sweat, his expression grave. You’re right. This was my failure. I’ll strengthen security during filming from now on.

Qin Siran interjected with timely advice

As far as I know, this is the first time a romance variety show has invited so many celebrities. The old filming methods might not be suitable anymore, Director Liu. You should consider developing a new approach.

What Qin Siran said was true. After all, the incident had ultimately been caused by disruptive anti-fans, something that had never happened on previous shows featuring only ordinary people.

However, Qin Siran’s suggestion was inappropriate.

Wasn’t the director supposed to have the final say on how the show was filmed?

As a guest and a junior, Qin Siran had no right to make such a suggestion.

If this had been any other director, they would have already blown up in anger.

Ye Zhi was sweating bullets for Qin Siran

Is Brother Qin going to get yelled at by Director Liu?
