Chapter 132 Anti-bite Device
Three days after the baby was born, Xie Chen picked Mu Yan up from the hospital.
Xie Chen turned down almost all her work and stayed home with him all day.
Even though half a month has passed, Xie Chen still handles most of his affairs online and rarely leaves his house.
Mu Yan has recently become very fond of playing a game called Sprague. He looks for the game console almost every morning as soon as he wakes up, and he seems to prefer playing with Xie Chen rather than playing alone.
Logically speaking, someone like Xie Chen, who is used to using all kinds of guns, should find this kind of game easy to pick up. However, perhaps because he only played Candy Crush and Snake after retiring, which dulled his brain, Xie Chen was quite clumsy when playing this game.
Mu Yan sat next to him, and when her fluffy loungewear accidentally brushed against his arm, it felt like being rubbed by a small animal.
"You look great in blue, it makes you look beautiful and fair-skinned," Xie Chen once said very seriously.
Mu Yan thought he was talking about the skin of the little character on the screen, until the game ended and he looked down at his own home clothes, realizing that he didn't seem to have many of these sky-blue clothes.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked Xie Chen if he was unhappy because he had been killed too many times, which was why he was paying attention to other things.
“I’ll be more careful next time,” Mu Yan turned to look at him and said earnestly, “I will try my best to protect you and not let you die so many times.”
Xie Chen glanced at him in surprise, then smiled wryly.
Just then, a phone call came in. He paused for a moment when he saw the caller, then told Mu Yan to take a turn and went to the side to make the call.
Mu Yan noticed that Xie Chen frowned slightly when he saw the caller ID, looking a bit annoyed. Instead of calling first, Mu Yan turned to listen to Xie Chen's call.
Xie Chen doesn't usually handle work like this.
"Impossible, don't even think about it." Xie Chen said coldly to the person on the other end of the phone. "You're an omega too, you should know better than me that omegas are people, not tools, and so is Xiaoxiao's marriage. If she and that omega truly love each other, I would prepare betrothal gifts and go to his family to propose marriage without you even having to tell me."
After saying something on the other end of the phone, Xie Chen's face seemed to darken instantly, an expression Mu Yan rarely saw him make.
Xie Chen hung up the phone and told Mu Yan that he had to go out for a while. Mu Yan saw that his expression was serious and realized that something important and urgent had happened. He obediently nodded and told him to be careful and come back soon.
Xie Chen nodded, telling Mu Yan to wait for him to return obediently.
"Besides Carlos, who else on the security team is a beta?" Xie Chen calmly called the head of the security team. "I have an emergency to deal with. The Vespera Hotel, I'll find out the floor and room number and then I'll tell you. There's an alpha in a fertile period and an omega in heat. There are pheromone-like aphrodisiacs in the room, so the alpha can't participate in this operation. I need at least four betas, at least two of them female."
"A restraint belt and an alpha's bite stopper are needed. You can also bring a stun gun. For the alpha in the room, you can use the lowest setting of current."
Just as Xie Chen hung up the phone, his assistant called to say that they had found the room where Xie Xiao and Olivia were.
He instructed his assistant to send the message to the security team, saying he would arrive in eight minutes.
Xie Chen appeared calm, but he was actually almost driven mad by Song Jingrong.
He originally thought that Song Jingrong had learned her lesson after that incident, but it turned out that she hadn't at all.
She just called and asked Xie Chen to arrange a marriage for Xie Xiao. The groom is the omega daughter of a high-ranking political official. The official is a former comrade-in-arms of Xie Chen from the military, and they have a very close personal relationship.
Judging from her tone, she seemed to fundamentally disbelieve that Xie Xiao wanted to leave the foundation on her own. She felt that Xie Xiao had suffered a great injustice and was forced out of the foundation, and as a mother, she wanted to help Xie Xiao make a comeback, and marriage was the best way to do so.
Olivia, who grew up in a wealthy family and had everything she needed, happened to have a dream of becoming a model and wanting to stand in the spotlight and be praised for her beauty by fans. Using this as an excuse, she tricked Olivia into going to a hotel room that had been drugged with aphrodisiacs. She then called Xie Xiao and said that she was drunk and asked Xie Xiao to come and pick her up.
By making the deed into a fait accompli and directly imprinting a lifelong mark, Song Jingrong's plan was quite clever.
The security team arrived faster than Xie Chen. When Xie Chen arrived at the hotel, a female beta bodyguard was carrying Xie Xiao out. Xie Xiao was unconscious and wearing a bite blocker, which meant she had probably been given anesthesia.
“Miss Olivia has been moved to a safe place,” Carlos reported to Xie Chen. “We arrived just in time, before anything could happen.”
“Miss Xie Xiao must have sensed something, as she has been locking herself in the bathroom. We gave Miss Olivia a small dose of sedative, and she is now conscious. We did not use restraints or police batons on Miss Xie Xiao.”
Even the lowest voltage electric shock is still a tap, and since the target was Xie Chen's own sister, they certainly wouldn't dare use a stun gun unless absolutely necessary.
The female bodyguard had obvious bloodstains on her neck, which were probably caused by Xie Xiao biting her when she was putting a bite stopper on her.
“You should use it,” Xie Chen glanced at the bitten bodyguard and said to Carlos, “Carlos, your bonus for this operation will be reduced by half.”
“Okay,” Carlos nodded readily. “I will submit a two-hundred-word self-criticism.”
“Mr. Xie, I am a beta,” the female beta carrying Xie Xiao had already walked a few steps away when she saw this and hesitated before stopping, turning back to look at Xie Chen. “Betas cannot be marked. It’s just a bite, it’s nothing. Please don’t punish the vice-captain…”
“Betas won’t be marked, but that doesn’t mean they won’t feel pain or discomfort,” Xie Chen interrupted her.
Xie Chen glanced at the bloodstains on her neck: "Go and collect the 20,000 yuan in work injury compensation and half a month's leave from the finance department. I'm sorry for my sister's behavior. There's no need to plead for Carlos; he didn't follow my instructions and orders. And don't worry about being retaliated against. You're new here, right? The security captain and deputy captain don't have that kind of authority."
Carlos nodded to her, then continued his report to Xie Chen.
"The aphrodisiac drugs are indeed pheromones, but we have checked the aromatherapy in the room and other conspicuous places, and we have not yet found the source."
Betas are unaffected by pheromone-based aphrodisiacs, but it's indeed difficult to trace the source of these drugs. Although the hotel is a Xie family business, having it handle the transactions involves several more people, and if leaks occur, who knows what kind of storm they'll cause in the news.
Xie Chen put on the anti-bite device and decisively pushed open the door to enter the room.
Xie Chen was of a high rank and had undergone professional military training, so the effects of pheromone drugs on him were very limited. He quickly found the aphrodisiacs hidden in various places, put them into sealed containers, and had them destroyed.
In the military, such missions are often carried out by S-class alphas. S-class alphas are highly stable after training and can ensure an absolute physical advantage over alphas in their susceptible period. However, Xie Xiao is an ordinary person who has not undergone any training, so there is no need to be so vigilant. Betas who are not affected by pheromones can also better ensure Olivia's safety.
Xie Chen didn't think he was affected by the aphrodisiac, but just to be safe, he wore the anti-bite device home and planned to take an injection of the suppressant after arriving home.
Specially trained S-level alphas can maintain a similar state to their normal condition during their susceptible periods, even without the use of inhibitors.

"You're back?" Mu Yan went ahead to open the door for Xie Chen and smiled at him.
Xie Chen wasn't there, so he stopped playing games. When he heard Xie Chen coming back, he had just finished feeding the baby and was curled up on the sofa playing on his phone.
The door opened, and Mu Yan was slightly taken aback when she saw the anti-bite device on Xie Chen's neck.
It wasn't scary at all; on the contrary, the cold silver metal frame fit Alpha's sharp features perfectly, gleaming slightly under the lights, making Xie Chen's bone structure appear even more superior, like a movie star filming an advertisement for a bite suppressant.
"Why are you suddenly wearing this?" Mu Yan showed no sense of crisis and even smiled. "Is this a new product from your family company? It looks pretty good."
Mu Yan looked like she had just fed the baby; the top collar of her pajamas wasn't buttoned up properly, revealing red marks on her fair skin from the baby's scratching and biting.
Xie Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, his Adam's apple bobbed, and almost instinctively he slammed the door behind him, strode over, and pulled the person into his arms.
Mu Yan was startled by his sudden action. Before she could react, a hot hand gripped the back of her neck, and Xie Chen's other hand gently pressed against her waist.
He could feel Xie Chen's heavy breathing and finally noticed something was wrong with Xie Chen.
He wanted to call out to Xie Chen and ask him what had happened, but before he could open his mouth, the cold anti-bite device was pressed against the back of his neck.
It's so cold...
Xie Chen's hands were burning hot on the back of my neck and lower back.
Mu Yan shuddered from the sensation of being both cold and hot. He stared blankly at Xie Chen, unsure whether he was startled by the sudden action or for some other reason, and simply stood there motionless.
The next second, the cold metal bite stopper left his neck, and Xie Chen released him, staggering back a few steps.
Mu Yan only belatedly realized that Xie Chen's actions just now... were the standard gesture of an alpha marking an omega.
He should have been instinctively wary of such actions, but when facing Xie Chen, he was just... at a loss.
I don't know why Xie Chen suddenly acted this way; I'm worried he might be sick.
Mu Yan had asked him about his susceptibility period before. Xie Chen seemed to have undergone special training and rarely needed to take suppressants during his susceptibility period.
Did something happen to him?
Xie Chen stared blankly at him for a moment: "Did I scare you?"
Mu Yan paused for a moment, then shook her head somewhat timidly.
