Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Yes, they are lovers...
At seven o'clock in the morning on August 18, there was already a huge crowd outside the largest church in Shangxing City.
Ordinary people stood at the outermost edge, craning their necks to barely see the road inside. The security team separated a passage for politicians and wealthy people who were qualified to enter the church to watch the ceremony.
The all-round talent Xiaolin was in charge of driving, Amu sat in the passenger seat, and Kanoka and I sat in the back seat.
Through the car window, I saw many devout believers praying toward the church. Some reporters, broadcasting live, were focusing their cameras on the various vehicles slowly moving through the corridor, introducing the people inside.
In such a grand ceremony, even the dignitaries had to enter according to the order of rank.
The first to enter the church were, of course, the jury, followed by the Senate, then the senior officers from the military district, then other government officials, the wealthy people—
When the vehicle finally drove into the designated area, I got out of the car, took the initiative to help Kanoka hold the upper position, and walked down holding his hand.
Amu followed behind us and looked at my and Kanoka's intertwined hands, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
"You're finally here." Hai Jin walked over with his wife, patting my shoulder in relief. "Last night was truly terrifying, wasn't it? The dean was assassinated. I'm really worried the killer will attack others."
I also breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm terrified too. I've only been in the Senate for less than a day, and something like this has happened. I'm really worried that other innocent people will be implicated in the future."
Following the guidance of the staff, Hai Jin and I walked forward shoulder to shoulder, while Kanoka and his spouse tacitly walked one step behind us, fulfilling their duties as omegas.
"Alas, the police have been searching all night and haven't found any useful clues," Hai Jin said with feigned resignation. "The dean is nearing retirement, so who could have done this? His spouse doesn't even have children, and the family has no one to inherit. One can only imagine what his fate will be."
The sun's rays streamed into the corridor through the window. I looked at the councilor next to me and lowered my voice, "Councilor Hai, do you mean to doubt the vice president? But there's no need for that, right?"
Councillor Hai's eyes were subtle as he moved closer to me, blocking out the sunlight, leaving only a small sliver of his face in the shadows. "Councillor Bai, stop playing dumb at a time like this. When the Dean died, the first people to suspect weren't the Vice Dean, but us."
Damn Old Deng, you finally stopped pretending. Did you know that if you don’t win me over, you might face the risk of being pushed down by Carter?
I continued to maintain a friendly smile. "Councilor Hai, you're joking. I'm only a councilor with thirteen seats. No matter how the power changes at this stage, it won't be my turn, right? Besides, I already have Kanoka. Unless something unexpected happens, it's only a matter of time before I reach your position."
Hai Jin's facial muscles finally stiffened for a moment, but I couldn't capture it successfully.
Finally broke through, hahahaha.
I moved closer to him, patted his shoulder with the same force he'd used to pat mine, and said, "After the dean's death, you, Councilman Hori, and Councilman Fan were the biggest suspects and the biggest beneficiaries. If you understand this, then the other two will understand it too."
"Councilor Hai, it's not that I won't help you, but it's difficult. Councilor Hori is very favored by the head of the group, and even wanted to marry Noka to him before me. Councilor Fan has just returned from the military zone, and in this special period of the insurgents' arrogance, her advantages are also obvious. As for you, besides your spouse's family, what benefits do you have for me?"
Hai Jin didn't say anything, so I continued to analyze the situation with him.
"Of course, you're not completely without advantages. As a member of the third seat, you are the successor in line."
Hai Jin's smile completely faded. He said with a twisted mouth, "Councilor Bai, if you really thought there was no hope for me, you wouldn't have agreed to go with me yesterday. Tell me what you want me to do."
Seeing that he was on the right track, I was finally satisfied. I stopped playing tricks and said directly, "You can go talk to Councillor Fan directly. She won't refuse you."
"Fansu?" Hai Jin frowned. "What do you mean? Aren't you with Hori?"
"Hahaha, Councillor Hai, you're joking. I've already snatched away his fiancée, so how can we possibly coexist peacefully?" I said this, turning back to Kanoka with a gentle smile, then turning to Hai Jin and saying, "Besides, that's the fourth seat."
Hai Jin's breathing slowed down a bit, "Does the captain know?"
"She doesn't know," I said. "To be honest, Fan Su told me a piece of news that's very unfavorable to me. I can't just sit there and wait for death, nor can I leave myself no way out. Councillor Hai, I'm optimistic about your abilities, so I'm discussing cooperation with you. You can choose to reject me. But when I come back later, I will show no mercy to you."
To cooperate? Or not to cooperate?
Hai Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "What is that news? Does it affect me too?"
I smiled slightly and said, "You will know it soon."
With the last word written, we reached our destination.
Huge stained glass windows covered the sky, and the sunlight refracted through the glass, creating mottled shapes that fell on the white statues.
The faceless God looked down at the people coming and going, and no one could see what expression He had at that moment.
The nun in charge stood under the statue and directed the choir children to sing hymns.
I went to my seat, made the sign of the cross on my chest, made a quiet and pious gesture under the camera of the reporter, and sang softly with the choir.
“Sizzle——”
There was a sound of seats being moved in front.
I opened my eyes and saw Carter sitting at the front row, separated by dozens of people.
She stared at the communicator intently. After a long while, she suddenly forced a smile and said something to the person next to her, then turned around and found my location accurately.
Then she stood up and walked towards my seat.
"Mom?" Kanoka was confused. "Isn't it about to start?"
Cutler's smile was still as kind and gentle as before. He waved to me and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have some work to discuss with Wuyong."
"Then I want to go too!" said Kanoka.
Cutler glanced at his adopted son and nodded.
Amu, who was sitting there, was tense all over and was not very skilled in hiding his expression.
I patted Amu's head soothingly, "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
Following Carter out of the church, I knew that the news of Cassina's disappearance had spread.
What Cutler has to do now is not only to suppress the news quickly, but also to investigate my suspicion. Even if I am really innocent, she will give me a good warning.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the room, as soon as Kanoka closed the door, Cutler's smile fell.
But she was not one who liked to use violence. She tapped the ground with her cane again and again, making a dull sound.
She stared at me coldly, and I let her stare at me, lowering my head slightly and pretending to be honest and obedient.
Kanoka was startled by the eerily quiet atmosphere. He looked left and right, and finally realized that the relationship between his mother and his fiancée was not as harmonious as it seemed. So his brain froze and he didn't know how to react.
After a long silence, Cutler said coldly, "Do you know what happened?"
"I don't know," I replied.
Cutler sneered, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? From the assassination of the Senate President last night to Senna's disappearance in the military zone today, you really have nothing to do with these two things? Bai Wuyong, do you really think I trust that omega Kirsty Jane to help you dispose of all six bodies?"
Kanoka, who was standing next to him, automatically recognized the key words in his mind, "Omega? Who? Mom, what does the Kirsty Jane you mentioned have to do with useless?"
I remained silent.
Cutler, now a responsible mother, made my relationship with Kirsty public. "Your fiancée's lover, we've slept together countless times."
Me: You are so blunt. If I had no sense of shame, I would have been defeated long ago.
Kanoka stood there stupidly, motionless, like a cat with its neck stuck.
Carter, who had specially brought him up like this, showed rare impatience.
In the face of the issue of the missing heir, even an adopted son loses his value as a showbiz character.
"Bai Wuyong, you only have two choices." Cutler said coldly, "I don't care how many tails you have hidden behind you, and I don't care what you and your lovers did behind my back."
"Either, go to the military zone and bring Kasena back. Or, I'll send you to prison and charge you with treason."
I was very well-behaved throughout the whole process. After listening to her, I practiced putting on an honest and simple smile and said, "Of course I choose the former."
"Captain, I really didn't know that Cassina was missing. I am very aware of my identity. If it weren't for paving the way for Cassina, you would not even look down on me."
"You don't have to give me a choice. I will take the initiative to go to the military zone to find her. Look at the bright side. Isn't it better for me to build a good relationship with my future boss in advance?"
Seeing that Carter still had a cold face, I put away my smile and said seriously, "This is a church, Captain. As a believer, I will not lie to God."
There was another long silence.
"After the coronation ceremony, go back and pack your things." Cutler said, "Xiao Lin will go with you."
"Okay." I agreed without any meaning.
Cutler gave me one last cold look and walked away.
I raised my head again and touched the back of my neck which was a little sore.
Sure enough, if you keep your head down for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable all over. It is better to hold your head high and chest out for your physical and mental health.
But it's not over yet.
With Cutler gone, Kanoka becomes the bomb.
He finally woke up from his downtime and screamed as he was about to pounce, "Bai Wuyong! You damn low-class person, how could you lie to me!"
I quickly grabbed his hand, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "It must be Cutler who lied to you."
"Mom wouldn't lie to me!"
"Would she allow me to get engaged to you if she didn't lie to you?" I asked back.
Cutler took the initiative to pick out the relationship to disgust me, so I'll disgust her too. Anyway, I'm going to the military zone tonight, and no matter how annoying Kanoka is, she can't follow me to the military zone to bother me.
She herself raised the omega into a fool. How can I be worthy of my identity as a gigolo who specializes in sowing discord if I don't take advantage of it?
Seeing Kanoka's expression sluggish again, I changed my expression to a gentle and helpless one, holding his face and whispering softly, "I'm glad, Kanoka, that you care about me. You're jealous, right? I like you being jealous of me."
"I do have a lover, but I have no other choice. Kirsty Jane's family is an arms dealer, and he can handle some of the military zone's problems for me. Without him, I wouldn't be able to come to you, I wouldn't be able to prove myself to the commander, and naturally, I wouldn't be able to get engaged to you."
The omega, whose face I held, gradually immersed himself in sweet talk, and his already slow brain became completely confused.
My mouth opened and closed, getting closer to him, my lips touching his cheek, but always lingering at the corner of his lips and not going any further.
"I'm going to the military zone tonight. It's such a dangerous place, and there's a very high chance I won't be able to come back. Noka, are you going to make trouble with me during this last moment?"
Kanoka stopped making trouble and was almost impatient to stand on tiptoe for a kiss, but I had already pulled away.
"You're so annoying!" He kicked me again angrily, "You have to get rid of that bitch!"
"No, not drive him away! You have to kill him! When he's completely useless, you have to bring him to me and shoot him!"
I maintained a gentle, helpless smile and nodded in response, "Okay."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Kanoka is not actually angry that Xiaobai has a lover, he is angry that Xiaobai actually hid it from him.
After all, Carter was brought up according to the standards, and he is very accepting of the fact that his spouse has a lover.
So what Kanoka wants is the right to beat and kill her lover at will, just like the idea of "you are all toys that come to bed, but I am her legal spouse" [thumbs-up]
