Chapter: 21 A Pure Pervert
“?!”
Shen Shuyi was speechless as a hand pressed tightly over his mouth.
He tried to reach for the sink, looking for anything that could help him.
But the other person anticipated his move. One hand lightly wrapped around his waist and dragged him backward.
Shen Shuyi: “…”
He immediately realized the difference in strength and size between them. No matter how much he struggled, it would be futile. The other could easily break his arm with just a twist.
Still, Shen Shuyi wanted to try.
He tried to block the other’s arm with his own.
It didn’t budge.
All of his self-defense techniques were useless against this person, completely outmatched.
Shen Shuyi realized that the other might be a very tall Alpha.
He immediately thought of Xie Chenzhou.
If only Xie Chenzhou were here.
Xie Chenzhou could save him.
But there were no “ifs.”
Shen Shuyi could not understand why such a high-end club with seemingly strict security could still have someone abducting others.
What did this person want?
Murder?
Robbery?
Shen Shuyi did not have much money, and if it was just for money, he would have given all of it.
Right, his phone.
Shen Shuyi remembered that his phone was in his coat pocket.
He tried to reach for it.
A hand passed around his waist, grabbed the phone before he could, threw it to the ground, and kicked it far away.
Hearing the phone slide across the floor, Shen Shuyi felt a moment of indescribable despair.
The other’s hands moved over him like a snake.
Shen Shuyi realized the person was likely not trying to murder or rob him but… sexually assault him.
This was outrageous. What could they possibly want from him?
He was just a Beta.
The air in the restroom smelled stronger of the pheromone-dispersing spray than outside.
Was there no one who could save him?
Shen Shuyi heard the other’s heavy breathing by his ear.
He tried to analyze it, to gather any usable information.
But he found nothing. The other’s palm smelled faintly of lemon-scented hand soap from the club restroom.
Shen Shuyi felt the person’s breath brush along the back of his neck.
Was he trying to mark him?
Shen Shuyi struggled again.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the other held him, leaving no chance for communication.
A pure pervert.
Shen Shuyi was on the verge of tears.
As the person’s nose brushed lightly against the back of his neck, tears ran down Shen Shuyi’s face in fear.
Just as his tears touched the person’s fingers, the person suddenly stiffened.
He began trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Shuyi was not shaking, yet the other trembled violently for no apparent reason.
Finally, when sweat began to seep from the hand covering Shen Shuyi’s mouth, the grip was suddenly released.
He ran.
Shen Shuyi wanted to chase him but had no strength.
The footsteps disappeared outside the restroom.
Shen Shuyi bent down and carefully searched the floor for his phone.
After a short while, he found the flashlight he had dropped and his phone that had been kicked away.
With trembling hands, he turned on the phone’s flashlight and walked out of the restroom.
Outside, the staff member responsible for maintaining the restroom was still there.
Shen Shuyi held the phone tightly and calmly approached, asking, “Hello, did you see an Alpha run out just now?”
The staff looked slightly surprised and replied, “No sir, I only saw you.”
Shen Shuyi closed his eyes and said, “I’m going to call the police.”
The police arrived quickly. The club staff, hearing about Shen Shuyi’s ordeal, took it seriously and arranged another private room for him for free. His classmates rushed over as soon as they heard.
The spacious room was filled with police, staff, and Shen Shuyi’s high school classmates.
Tan Yu had already left early, claiming a family issue, but he still called to check if Shen Shuyi was okay. Sheng Hengye, who couldn’t attend the gathering due to school activities, also called urgently to ask what happened.
Even Shen Shuhan was alarmed, probably informed by Sheng Hengye’s noisy call.
Shen Shuhan, busy on set, had no mood to act, and after reaching Shen Shuyi by phone, asked, “What happened? Are you alright?”
Shen Shuyi realized how tense he had been. He had never encountered anything like this. “I’m fine. The person was very strong but didn’t actually do anything to me.”
“Did you call the police?”
“Yes.”
“What did they say?”
“They went to check the surveillance and are investigating suspects.”
“Which club are you at?” Shen Shuhan asked.
Shen Shuyi gave the name.
“Chengding Residence? That’s Xie Cheng’s territory,” Shen Shuhan said. “Where is Xie Chenzhou?”
Shen Shuyi was momentarily stunned. “He didn’t tell me.”
“Find Xie Chenzhou,” Shen Shuhan said. “Something this big happened in his territory, he has to take responsibility.”
“This is outrageous,” Shen Shuhan continued. “Chengding Residence has such high security, and yet a thug appeared? I’ve been there a few times for work with directors and investors, it was always fine. They spray pheromone dispersal regularly. And you’re a Beta! Too much! If you don’t dare contact Xie Chenzhou, I’ll call him for you!”
“I’ll handle it myself,” Shen Shuyi said. “He’s in his sensitive period, and I don’t really want him to know about this…”
“Do you not trust him or the Shen family? The Shen family is not powerless! Are you even taking today seriously? He has to handle this. If he doesn’t, I swear I will send someone to pour paint at his company!” Shen Shuhan was furious that Shen Shuyi remained so calm.
“But back to your story, you said the ‘thug’ was an Alpha, tall and strong?” Shen Shuhan suddenly asked. “Can you judge their pheromone level by their strength?”
Shen Shuyi instinctively didn’t want to call the person a “thug.”
The Alpha hadn’t actually done anything, seemed troubled when he cried, and eventually let him go.
Shen Shuyi wasn’t a saint, he just… strangely felt pity for that Alpha.
His professional knowledge suggested the Alpha might have some psychological issues caused by pheromones.
Why… did he feel pity only for him?
“Hello? Are you listening?” Shen Shuhan called. “How does he compare to Xie Chenzhou? Taller and stronger or weaker? You wouldn’t meet an Alpha stronger than Xie Chenzhou, right?”
Shen Shuyi stiffened, realizing the Alpha in the restroom was similar in size to Xie Chenzhou.
But it couldn’t be him.
“Judging an Alpha’s pheromone level by height and strength is inaccurate,” Shen Shuyi told Shen Shuhan. “It’s unscientific.”
“But most tall, strong Alphas have high pheromone levels. I’m helping you narrow down the target faster. If the pheromone level is really high, the police can identify the suspect quicker.” Shen Shuhan was anxious.
“It won’t help. High-level pheromone Alphas are rare, and this method is like finding a needle in a haystack,” Shen Shuyi said. “I’m going to check with the hotel for surveillance footage.”
“Good, go quickly. Keep me updated and ask for help if needed, understood?” Shen Shuhan reminded him, then hung up.
Unfortunately, the restroom surveillance was broken.
Apart from physical features, the club could only check the comings and goings of members that day.
But they found nothing.
Until…
Shen Shuyi saw on the club entrance camera that a familiar person had entered just minutes after him.
He doubted himself and leaned closer to the screen.
The police assisting him with identifying the suspect noticed his reaction and asked the club staff to pause the video. “Did you find someone?”
The police saw the tall, handsome figure in a high-end suit with steady steps…Xie Chenzhou.
“No…” Shen Shuyi was stunned. “He…”
“He is the chairman of the Xie Cheng Group, our club is under Xie Cheng,” the staff explained.
“Do you know him?” the police asked.
“I know…” Shen Shuyi murmured. “He is… my newlywed partner.”
But his build matched the suspect description the most from the footage.
How… could this be…?
