Transmigrated as a Scumbag Alpha, I'm a Salted Fish on a Dating Show (GL) - Chapter 24
At this point, the police were steadily advancing upstairs. Those resisting at the stairwell would eventually be subdued; it was only a matter of time.
Ye Qinfeng knew that the only way to survive now was to find Ye Rou. He had to hold onto this lifeline tightly.
But now, the few of them had searched all the nearby rooms and still hadn’t found Ye Rou’s trace.
One of the subordinates gasped, “Boss, is it possible that Ye Rou has already been rescued? We’ve pretty much searched every possible hiding place here.”
The other subordinates searching nearby also stared at Ye Qinfeng upon hearing this. Their resolve was starting to waver, believing that continuing the search would only be futile.
“Impossible. Ye Rou must still be in the villa,” Ye Qinfeng declared confidently. “If she had already been rescued, the police’s offensive wouldn’t have been so urgent.”
“So, she must still be in the villa. Everyone, keep searching. If we don’t find her, we’re all done for!”
“Yes!” The subordinates felt he was right; as expected of their boss, he was meticulous.
They then searched even more carefully, but everyone had almost turned every room upside down, even flipping up bed boards, still without success.
Seeing this, Ye Qinfeng gritted his teeth, punched the wall, and snarled, “Where the hell did this person hide?!”
The subordinates exchanged glances, looking at their extremely angry boss, not knowing what to do.
The shouts of the police downstairs grew closer. Although they were desperate individuals, the thought of possibly meeting their end here today still sent shivers down their spines.
“Boss, what do we do now?” an anxious voice from a subordinate came.
“I’ll go fight them!” Everyone grew restless.
“Don’t be impulsive!” Ye Qinfeng stopped his subordinate. “Let me think carefully.”
Ye Qinfeng was now forcing himself to calm down. He was 100% sure that Ye Rou and the person who saved her were definitely here, but he just couldn’t find them!
He constantly racked his brain, trying to figure out what he had overlooked. Suddenly, the wide-open door opposite the room where Ye Rou was originally held slowly appeared in his mind.
He recalled glancing at that room earlier, only remembering a pitch-black interior. But now, recalling it, that dense darkness seemed to harbor a monster that would bring death, making all the hair on his body stand on end.
The more Ye Qinfeng thought about it, the more he felt the person was there, but also the more terrified he became.
If his deduction was correct, then his every move and even his psychological activity had been completely understood by that person.
The thought of a pair of eyes constantly watching him from that darkness made his body tremble slightly.
The subordinate next to him watched as their boss seemed to be possessed after saying that sentence. They exchanged glances, and finally, one of them stepped forward and patted Ye Qinfeng.
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
Ye Qinfeng snapped back to reality, his face pale. His masseter muscles bulged as he gritted his teeth and said, “Follow me. I think I’ve figured out where Ye Rou is hiding!”
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this and quickly followed their boss’s footsteps. However, when they returned to the original corner, they began to murmur inwardly, Why are we back here again?
Ye Qinfeng, looking at the closed door in front of him, further confirmed his earlier guess.
Listening to the increasingly close sounds of conflict downstairs, a cruel look appeared in his eyes. He turned his head and gestured to his subordinates: “She must be in there. Everyone, go in together and grab her for me!”
The subordinates, hearing their boss say this, finally understood why his face had been so ugly just now. If Ye Rou was indeed hiding right under their noses, what kind of strong psychological fortitude would that require?
When they looked at the closed door and the three people lying on the ground again, a chill of fear ran through their hearts, and their movements became much more cautious, as if there was some monstrous beast behind that door.
At this moment, the subordinates holding the staircase had retreated to the vicinity. The police had also already rushed to the third floor, just a step away from them.
They could even lean out and see the conflict below. Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in unison. A subordinate’s hand moved to the doorknob and slowly turned it, then suddenly pushed the door open with great force.
Gu Chixue and Ye Rou inside the room had already detected everyone’s arrival; this was something Gu Chixue had anticipated all along.
Judging by Ye Qinfeng’s kidnapping methods, he was definitely not stupid. It was only a matter of time before he found them here.
And this period of time was the longest Gu Chixue could stall.
She tightened her grip on the small figure nestled quietly in her arms, chuckling softly as she asked, “Ye Qinfeng found us. There will be a direct confrontation soon. Are you scared?”
Hearing this, although Ye Rou was a little scared, the warmth beside her gave her a strong sense of security.
She turned to face Gu Chixue, shook her head, and burrowed back into her arms, hugging her tightly.
The girl whispered close to her ear: “No, I’m not scared. You have to protect yourself too.”
Feeling the soft little person’s concern for her in her arms, Gu Chixue let out a muffled chuckle, her warm breath caressing the girl’s face.
She said softly: “Don’t worry, it will be fine. Besides, listen, the police and your family are downstairs. We just need to break out of this room and meet up with them.”
In the darkness, Ye Rou accurately caught the light in Gu Chixue’s eyes. She felt as if this beam of light instantly tore through the darkness, illuminating her trembling figure curled up in the dark corner.
A big smile bloomed on her face. She said nothing, only stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Chixue’s cheek, her eyes filled with an overly sweet, watery gleam.
Gu Chixue felt the milky avocado scent constantly intensifying, and the next moment, her cheek suddenly felt wet.
She felt helpless inside. Ye Rou already had feelings for her, and after transferring pheromones this time, the girl expressed her joy even more unrestrainedly.
Thinking of the mental preparation she had made before coming to this program, and the original body’s ending in the book, Gu Chixue’s mood was extremely complicated.
When the two of them hadn’t yet formed a bond, she could have chosen to do nothing, but now she knew that she could no longer let go of the little person in her arms.
But no matter how her myriad thoughts twisted and turned at this moment, she didn’t know that a happy smile had already climbed onto the corner of her lips.
Gu Chixue took Ye Rou’s soft, tender hand and led her to stand against the wall near the door. The surrounding darkness was their best camouflage.
They held their breath, Gu Chixue’s five senses maximized, perceiving the movements outside the door.
The sound of the doorknob turning was clearly audible. She slightly squeezed her hand, signaling Ye Rou to get ready.
The door was suddenly pushed open with great force, and a group of people instantly poured in.
In an instant, everyone who rushed in hadn’t yet adjusted from bright light to darkness. They immediately felt a stinging sensation on their skin, as if being pricked by needles.
Their intrusion was like awakening a sleeping beast in the darkness. A suffocating pressure suddenly surged, and a world-destroying aura instantly filled the space.
A thick, pungent scent of sherry poured out from Gu Chixue, overwhelming and encompassing everything.
Some low-level Alphas couldn’t resist this astonishing aura at all. They all fell to their knees with a thud, veins bulging on their heads. They struggled to look up, trying to see what it was, but the next moment, they were knocked unconscious by the violent aura.
The remaining people weren’t much better off. They felt as if they were trapped in a bloody quagmire, the pungent pheromones continuously stimulating their brains, making it impossible to think and only allowing them to move with great difficulty.
But among these people, there were a few individuals with astonishing willpower. Feeling this aura, their first reaction was to pull out their weapons, gather around Ye Qinfeng, and crouch down, ready to shoot.
Their eyes had finally adapted to the dim light, and they saw Gu Chixue and Ye Rou standing against the wall.
The next instant, Gu Chixue released Ye Rou’s hand, and the sound of breaking floorboards echoed.
A strong wind brushed past Ye Rou’s eyes, and Gu Chixue’s long hair whipped wildly in her vision.
Everyone’s vision blurred. The two people guarding Ye Qinfeng suddenly felt a massive force hit them. The next moment, they seemed to be struck head-on by a large truck, their bodies sent flying backward at an astonishing speed.
A cold voice then resounded in everyone’s ears: “Drop your weapons. I’m giving you a chance to live.”
Everyone stared blankly at the tall woman clutching Ye Qinfeng’s neck, her angelic yet demonic face filled with chilling intensity.
When they met her emotionless eyes, they clearly understood that disobedience meant death.
Ye Rou also covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.
She looked at Gu Chixue, whose aura was like that of a powerful prison, and unconsciously felt a hint of unfamiliarity and helplessness in her eyes.
This was the first time Ye Rou had seen such a detached and cold Gu Chixue. In her previous perception, Gu Chixue was always an elegant, mysterious, approachable, fun-loving, and sometimes annoying figure.
But she never imagined that Gu Chixue, when she rose, could be so strong and terrifying. When Ye Rou met those calm, unwavering eyes, a hint of fear even rose in her heart.
The next moment, Gu Chixue noticed Ye Rou’s gaze on her, and warmth returned to her eyes.
She smiled at the girl and gestured, “Come stand by me.”
Ye Qinfeng felt the coolness at his neck and dared not move, but suddenly hearing the gentle voice behind him, his eyes widened instantly, and he cursed inwardly, Where did this double-standard monster come from?!
You’re so gentle; can you lighten your grip on my neck, damn it?!
When Gu Chixue became stern, her aura was as cold as a blizzard, but now, when she faced Ye Rou, the warmth in her eyes was as healing as summer sunshine.
Ye Rou met those eyes, and the unfamiliar feeling that had just arisen in her heart was washed away. She let out an “oh” and trotted over, her small hand clutching Gu Chixue’s clothes. She stood cutely by her side, occasionally glancing at Gu Chixue, her eyes full of curiosity and dependence.
Under Gu Chixue’s piercing gaze and the pressure of her pheromones, the remaining people could no longer muster any will to resist. They obediently threw down their weapons and knelt to the ground, expressing submission.
By the time the police and Ye Fei had dealt with all resistance, they frantically found their way here and upon entering, saw such a scene.
Gu Chixue stood proudly in the center of the room, holding Ye Qinfeng hostage and looking down at the crowd. Ye Rou stood charmingly by her side. People were kneeling all around them, as if guilty commoners praying for God’s forgiveness and mercy.
