The Stunning General Finds Himself in a Shura Field on a Dating Show ABO - Chapter 50

Ye Zhi vigilantly tracked the approaching footsteps. As the person behind him drew closer, he swiftly executed an over-the-shoulder throw, sending the figure crashing to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity while the attacker was still disoriented, Ye Zhi crouched down, clamped his hand around the person’s neck, and demanded in a cold voice

You’ve been following me this whole time. What do you want?

The attacker was a Beta, wearing a mask that obscured most of his face, but his youthful features suggested he was likely a university student.

He glared at Ye Zhi through gritted teeth, his voice dripping with resentment

C University rejected me! How is that possible? I was supposed to be studying here, not you! You must have stolen my admission spot!

Had Ye Zhi been unaware of the truth, he might have been swayed by the attacker’s desperate demeanor, perhaps even doubting himself.

However, his classmates had already explained everything clearly that morning.

Jiang Liu had even specifically warned him to be careful when leaving campus. Ye Zhi had initially dismissed the concern, thinking the pharmacy was too close to the school for anything to happen.

Yet even within this short distance, he had encountered someone looking for trouble.

He had been too complacent.

I didn’t steal your spot, Ye Zhi said. By the time I took the entrance exam, the university admissions process was already over.

He thought this would end the confrontation.

Instead, the stranger’s anger flared even higher.

How do I know you’re not just saying that? Lu Qingze is capable of anything!

The stranger suddenly laughed. Well, I can’t go to university now, so neither will you.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a fine white powder filled the air. The moment Ye Zhi inhaled it, he felt a sudden wave of dizziness.

The stranger immediately noticed the boy’s reaction and grinned confidently. I know you’re good at fighting, so I came prepared. Getting this sleeping powder took me a lot of time.

The Beta easily slipped free of Ye Zhi’s grip and shoved him to the ground.

Ye Zhi tried to move, but his body felt limp and unresponsive. He couldn’t muster any strength.

The stranger tilted Ye Zhi’s chin upward, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. No wonder you managed to seduce Lu Qingze. You really are quite handsome.

In his dazed state, Ye Zhi saw the man pull out his phone, muttering

I’ll take nude photos of you. C University will never want you again. You’re so good-looking, I could probably sell you and make a fortune.

Fvck… Ye Zhi cursed inwardly.

As the unfamiliar Beta approached, Ye Zhi suddenly snapped his eyes open and bit down hard on the hand that touched him.

The man yelped in pain, raising his hand to slap Ye Zhi, but the ferocity in the boy’s eyes made him flinch.

Those eyes were steeped in murderous intent, their long lashes sweeping like blades drawn from their sheaths, chilling the surrounding air.

Staring into those eyes, the Beta instinctively thought

This beautiful boy must have killed someone before.

Realizing what the powder in the air was, Ye Zhi immediately held his breath and waited for it to dissipate, minimizing his exposure.

The powder the man had bought seemed impure after only a few minutes, its effects were already beginning to fade.

Ye Zhi kept his gaze fixed on the man, secretly gathering his strength, waiting for the perfect moment to strike back.

Before he could act, someone else intervened.

A tall, long-legged Alpha stood over a stranger, his expression disdainful, his foot planted firmly on the man’s chest.

Dressed in leather jacket and pants, his golden hair fluttered in the breeze as he gazed down at the pinned Beta, coldly demanding, Where did this trash come from?

The Beta struggled frantically, but the Alpha’s overwhelming strength kept him pinned.

Ye Zhi, having regained some strength, looked up at the newcomer with surprise and relief. Brother Jin? What are you doing here?

I waited for you at the school gate, but you never showed up. I grabbed a college student and asked around, and they said you’d headed this way. I didn’t expect to find this idiot trying to strip you the moment I entered the alley.

Jin Xi punctuated his words with several forceful kicks, the pinned man writhing in agony.

With a cold snort, Jin Xi finally withdrew his foot and strode over to Ye Zhi, helping the young man to his feet.

Can you walk? Did he drug you? Jin Xi had noticed Ye Zhi’s strange behavior earlier.

The Beta he’d fought was just an ordinary Beta Ye Zhi shouldn’t have had any trouble handling him.

But as soon as he approached, he saw the youth lying helplessly on the ground.

Without a second thought, he knew the man had drugged him.

Ye Zhi nodded, brushing Jin Xi’s hand away. Don’t help me up. I was just a little weak earlier, but I’m much better now.

Once he confirmed the youth’s condition had improved, Jin Xi finally had time to deal with the man.

The man had also scrambled to his feet and looked like he was about to flee.

Jin Xi effortlessly grabbed him. Running away? Come with me.

The words sounded familiar. Last night, the police had said the same thing when arresting the human traffickers.

Ye Zhi glanced at Jin Xi beside him.

The young man had a robust build, with deep-set, upright features.

If he were wearing a police uniform, he’d actually look quite the officer, Ye Zhi couldn’t help but think.

Against the overwhelming strength of a high-ranking Alpha, the Beta, whose origins remained unknown, stood no chance of resistance. Jin Xi escorted him to the police station without incident.

However, it wasn’t the same station where Xu Shengyuan was being held, but rather one near C University.

By this time, it was lunchtime, and the police had already issued a public notice online about the child abduction attempt from the previous night.

Just as Jin Xi handed the man over to the authorities, he saw the notice on Weibo and casually showed it to Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi took the phone curiously, finally understanding the truth behind yesterday’s events.

It turned out the couple had been childless for years. Because they lacked a permanent residence, the orphanage wouldn’t allow them to adopt. Desperate, they decided to snatch a child off the street.

Xiao Yan was the unlucky target they chose.

They ambushed Xiao Yan while he waited outside the restroom for his mother, knocking him unconscious and carrying him away.

The couple had even scouted out surveillance blind spots, luring the boy to areas beyond camera range before making their move.

This explained why the man last night had only dared to bring a dull, unsharpened knife—a mere bluff. They didn’t want to escalate the situation and end up in jail.

If Ye Zhi hadn’t intervened in time, this farcical kidnapping would have succeeded.

Jin Xi realized this too. He looked at the young man, his voice sincere

Thank you for last night. If it weren’t for you, my brother might really have been lost.

Ye Zhi returned Jin Xi’s phone, his smile bright

There’s no need to thank me. It’s just what I should have done.

Infected by the boy’s cheerful demeanor, Jin Xi gradually relaxed. He couldn’t help but mutter

Why do you keep running into these weirdos lately?

Ye Zhi sighed helplessly

Yeah, I’m practically a regular at the police station now.

Hearing the boy’s jest, Jin Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

So you have a ‘bad guy magnet’ constitution? Xiao Ye, you should become a police officer when you grow up. Just catch all the bad guys you meet.

Ye Zhi shook his head with a smile.

But what if I run into a high-ranking Alpha? Wouldn’t they just beat me to a pulp?

He had a clear understanding of his own capabilities.

In Xia State, there were few who could defeat him in a fight.

But here, the physical disparity between Alphas and Betas was far too great. Moreover, he was about to differentiate into an Omega, and the pheromonal dominance between Alphas and Omegas alone could easily overwhelm him.

Jin Xi didn’t quite agree with the boy’s reasoning.

Police officers aren’t bandits. They don’t need to fight every day. It’s okay if you’re not a fighter.

Ye Zhi shook his head again, vaguely avoiding the topic.

We’ll talk about it later.

In truth, his earlier remarks were just excuses.

The responsibility of being a police officer was too heavy a burden for Ye Zhi to bear.

In this life, he didn’t want to shoulder such heavy responsibilities again. He simply wanted to live the carefree life he had never achieved in his previous life.

Sensing the boy’s reluctance, Jin Xi didn’t press the matter.

He had only mentioned it casually. Everyone had their own path to follow, and no one had the right to interfere.

Just then, a notification popped up on Jin Xi’s phone screen.

During their conversation, Ye Zhi’s name had quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches.

Jin Xi’s expression tightened slightly as he clicked on the topic to investigate. Only after confirming it wasn’t negative news did he breathe a sigh of relief for the young man.

Ye Zhi had trended a few times before, but the headlines always referred to him as a non-celebrity contestant on a dating show, and his fame stemmed solely from his striking looks.

However, the internet was overflowing with beautiful faces. Without a memorable hook to capture netizens’ attention, the buzz around his appearance would quickly fade.

As a result, few people truly recognized the name Ye Zhi.

This latest news, however, undoubtedly cast a positive glow on the name Ye Zhi, making it stick in more people’s minds.

Jin Xi closed his phone and offered Ye Zhi some advice

Xiao Ye, you should start wearing a mask when you go out. It’s safer that way. More and more people are recognizing you now, and when the show officially airs on Friday, you’ll become even more famous. Think of it as getting used to your future life.

Ye Zhi, lacking Jin Xi’s foresight, trusted his manager’s judgment and nodded obediently in agreement.

Recalling the earlier incident in the alley, Jin Xi asked Ye Zhi

What were you doing in that alley? Jin Xi asked.

Jin Xi’s words reminded Ye Zhi

He hadn’t bought suppressants or barrier patches yet!

I was going to buy something on the street outside the alley, but I don’t need it anymore, Ye Zhi said, wanting to keep his impending differentiation a secret from Jin Xi.

Jin Xi pressed, Are you sure you don’t need it?

Yeah, I’m sure, Ye Zhi replied firmly.

He’d calculated the dates. If he strictly followed the one-week timeline, the earliest he could differentiate would be this Saturday.

That meant he had at least three more days before it happened.

So, he figured it was fine to postpone buying those supplies for now.

Everything seemed perfectly logical, yet Ye Zhi couldn’t shake a nagging unease.

Suppressing his unease, he asked Jin Xi, I was supposed to meet your mom for dinner this evening. Why are you here so early?

He’d planned to go back to his cabin to make lunch.

Jin Xi tapped Ye Zhi’s head playfully, reminding him, Dummy! You’re performing at the welcome party tonight! When would you have time for dinner with my mom?

Hearing this, Ye Zhi finally remembered.

Oh right, I forgot.

He’d been so preoccupied with other things lately that he’d completely forgotten about the welcome party.
