After Crossing Over, I Marked the Empress

For the past few days, Gu Junwan’s nerves had been in a constant state of tension, even disrupting her sleep at night.

Now, with the operation about to commence, her heart was already in her throat. How could she withstand the Alpha’s kiss?

Anxiety and tension had built up deep within her.

Yet the Alpha’s scorching breath and soft lips acted as the most effective release, dispelling all the negative emotions she had been suppressing.

Her chaotic thoughts were replaced by her body’s instinctive desire.

Gu Junwan decided to stop thinking about anything else. She embraced the Alpha’s head and actively returned the kiss.

The fragrance of cold plum blossomed wildly on Shen Han’s tongue.

Her gaze darkened slightly as she supported her Omega, lifting her feet off the ground.

The sudden suspension didn’t cause Gu Junwan to feel any fear.

The cool of the door at her back and the Alpha’s scorching body heat in front assailed her simultaneously, making her senses and nerves even more sensitive.

The team members were still waiting downstairs, so Shen Han didn’t dare delay too long.

After a few minutes of passionate kissing, she voluntarily released the other.

“Still nervous?” the Alpha asked, breathing heavily.

The warm breath fanned across the Omega’s cheeks and lips, sending tiny electrical currents down her neck.

The tingling sensation evoked a desire that could be called ‘unsatisfied longing’.

A dreamy light flowed in Gu Junwan’s golden eyes.

She didn’t immediately answer her Alpha’s question. Instead, she raised a finger to hook the other’s chin and once again bit down on the soft lips so close to her.

Shen Han’s pupils suddenly constricted, but she didn’t take back control.

She rather enjoyed this rare initiative from her girlfriend.

When Shen Han felt pain, Gu Junwan timely withdrew her teeth.

She gently wiped away her own lip gloss that had smeared on the other’s lips with her fingertips: “You taste so good, I don’t have time to be nervous.”

The Omega’s voice was soft and hoarse, carrying obvious enchantment.

Just this one sentence nearly made Shen Han’s glands swell up.

She swallowed with difficulty and slowly lowered Gu Junwan: “Then I’m going. I’ll be back soon.”

Gu Junwan raised her hand to look at her watch, then glanced at the other’s slightly swollen lower lip, and quickly opened the door to push her out.

“Bang!”

The wooden door was forcefully closed once again.

Gu Junwan’s cheeks were burning as she leaned against the door, trying to calm her racing heart.

She didn’t know why she had been so bold just now.

But in any case, after being intimate with her partner, her mental pressure had indeed eased significantly.

Shen Han walked quickly forward.

When passing by Xu Zhao, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, they were about to leave for the mission, and she had suddenly run back to do this.

It was quite inappropriate.

But she couldn’t help coming back.

She had clearly sensed Gu Junwan’s emotional pressure, and just before departure, that tension had become even more apparent.

Like a fully drawn bow, the tension was great, but it could easily damage itself.

“Wait a moment!”

Hearing Special Assistant Xu’s voice from behind, Shen Han’s toes curled. She turned to look at her, smiling ingratiatingly: “Um, I won’t do it again next time.”

Xu Zhao gave her a look and lowered her voice to remind her: “Your hair is too messy. Fix it yourself.”

As she spoke, she also handed over a small can of air freshener.

Although Special Assistant Xu, being a Beta, couldn’t smell pheromones.

But! With all this dog food being scattered about, the fermentation of love was about to overflow!

“Oh, oh!”

Shen Han walked while dealing with the scent on her body.

She raised her hand to undo her hair tie, using her fingers as a comb to retie her hair into a ponytail.

Taking the dedicated elevator to the third underground floor, a modified multi-functional travel car was parked right at the elevator exit, with the passenger door wide open.

Shen Han jumped into the car, taking the Bluetooth earpiece handed over by Ning Xi.

Then she commanded in a deep voice: “Move out!”

Yusheng Manor.

A private club that only receives members.

Not only does the manor have strict access control, but it can also provide a series of services such as golf, horseback riding, hunting, and falconry according to different members’ needs.

Chen Yihe and Sun Xianglong chose this place for their meeting because of its safety and convenience.

After finishing business, they could also relax and enjoy themselves.

Recently, the two had been under tremendous pressure.

On one hand, they feared Gu Junwan might secretly settle scores with them.

On the other hand, the increasingly ruthless exploitation by the behind-the-scenes boss also left them gasping for air as if carrying a mountain.

Just like today, that boss opened his mouth and asked to take away several hundred million of their secret assets.

This was practically taking away half their lives!

At 8 PM.

A man wearing a long black down jacket arrived at Yusheng Manor.

After identity verification, professional staff drove him to a luxurious private room.

The interior of the room was mainly decorated with solid wood carvings and ceramic inlays. A dazzling crystal chandelier hung overhead, exuding a strong aristocratic palace atmosphere everywhere.

When the man was led into the private room, four people were already waiting inside.

Two sitting and two standing – those sitting were tonight’s ‘ATMs’, while those standing were bodyguards.

“Mr. Zheng is here! Please, have a seat!”

“First, have some hot tea. I just acquired this at an auction last month. I wouldn’t bring it out for ordinary people, hehe.”

Hearing Chen Yihe and Sun Xianglong’s familiar pleasantries, the man only nodded slightly without saying much.

He walked to the main seat on the sofa, took off his hood and the mask on his face.

Instantly, an honest and kind face appeared before everyone in the room.

If one were to judge solely by the man’s appearance, it would be difficult to associate him with the popular administrative officials of the Northern District.

Let alone the current situation where two officials were actively and eagerly flattering him.

This unremarkable-looking man was one of Li Jianye’s capable assistants: Black Rat.

His Federation name was Zheng Xiang.

But few people knew that his real name was actually Katsumura Shota.

Like Li Jianye, he was also from Yin Country.

“Did you bring everything the teacher asked you to prepare?”

Zheng Xiang had no intention of chatting idly with the two. As soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Chen Yihe’s previously smiling expression immediately froze.

Although Sun Xianglong, who was eagerly pouring tea, showed no change in his expression, his right hand holding the teapot trembled slightly.

Zheng Xiang saw all of their reactions.

His face darkened slightly as he stared at the two, pressing: “Does this mean you haven’t complied?”

“How could that be? Mr. Zheng, don’t be hasty. We don’t have that kind of courage.”

Chen Yihe said, quickly giving his companion a look: “Old Sun, stop messing with the tea, quickly have someone bring out the cash Mr. Zheng wants.”

Following their leader’s cue, the two bodyguards immediately sprang into action, bringing two travel bags from the corner of the room and placing them in front of Zheng Xiang.

Chen Yihe smiled apologetically: “Mr. Zheng, please don’t mind. You needed the money urgently, and it wasn’t easy for us to find so much cash at short notice. We scraped it together from here and there to complete the task.”

Zheng Xiang didn’t believe a word of their nonsense.

However, he didn’t dwell on it too much. The two travel bags weren’t conspicuous; as long as the amount was sufficient, it would do.

After quickly counting the cash, Zheng Xiang asked again: “What about the virtual currency stub from the be-q trading platform?”

Chen Yihe squinted and smiled: “It won’t run away, absolutely secure!”

At this point, he changed the subject: “As it happens, Old Sun and I have some matters we’d like to consult about. We rushed over right after work and haven’t even eaten yet. Why don’t we chat while we eat?”

Although he used a questioning tone, he didn’t leave Zheng Xiang any room for choice.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was opened.

Four of the manor’s service staff entered pushing food carts to serve the meal.

Jiang Xinyue and Ma Haoyu, carefully disguised, were among them.

One was an Omega, the other a C-class Alpha.

Combined with their disguises and the cooperation of the other two manor service staff, it was impossible to distinguish between real and fake.

As the service staff entered the room to set up the meal, everyone in the room synchronously ended their previous conversation.

Black Rat was seething with anger inside, but his face remained as calm as ever.

Chen Yihe and Sun Xianglong were inwardly anxious.

Because they hadn’t brought the full amount of currency that had been requested.

If it weren’t for their fear of the ruthless Mr. Li, they wouldn’t have been so polite to Zheng Xiang.

What nonsense! A mere logistics staff member daring to throw his weight around in front of them!

The moment Jiang Xinyue stepped into the private room, she had already activated her ability.

Her original task was to investigate whether there were any awakened individuals among the two officials present.

She hadn’t expected that she would indeed discover an awakened individual, but it was the most low-key man in the room!

At this moment, Black Rat was extremely angry inside.

[Those two old foxes actually dared to set me up. It seems their promotion over the past year has made them forget their original identities!]

[What should I do now? Should I report this situation to the teacher immediately?]

[Never mind, I’ll wait a bit longer. The teacher has taught me so many things, I can’t always rely on others to solve problems when I encounter them.]

[But come to think of it, why did the teacher suddenly ask for such a large sum of money?]

The service staff’s movements were very quick as they set out the dishes. In a short while, they had bowed and exited the room.

Beads of sweat had formed on Jiang Xinyue’s forehead.

Not because she had maintained her ability for too long, but because she was frightened by the inner thoughts of the man in the room.

She recognized that the voice of the honest-looking man who had inner activities in the private room was exactly the same as the one she had heard during the summit meeting of leaders!

After returning to another room, Jiang Xinyue immediately began to report to the Empress.

“Confirmed! There is an awakened individual in the private room, it’s the person we’ve been looking for!”

“It’s not Chen or Sun, but the young man meeting with them. He’s about 25 years old, around 180 cm tall.”

“Your Highness, please investigate this person’s identity immediately!”

Gu Junwan’s voice soon sounded in the communication channel.

“Jiang Xinyue, you’ve done very well. You should not appear again from now on.”

“Shen Han, Ning Xi, keep a close eye on that awakened individual in secret. His ability is unknown now, so make sure he doesn’t escape.”

“Snipers and assault team get ready, lock onto the target and await orders. Once the action starts, make sure to capture him alive if possible!”

“…”

As the Empress issued orderly instructions, all the action team members in the manor immediately sprang into action.

Surveillance equipment was installed in the private room.

Every word spoken and every move made by Zheng Xiang and the others was synchronously displayed in the temporary command room where Gu Junwan was located.

They now had some evidence.

But it wasn’t enough!

The two million in cash and those ambiguous conversations were not sufficient to prove that Chen and Sun were colluding with Yin Country spies.

So, Gu Junwan needed to wait a bit longer.

Heaven rewards those who persevere. Not long after Jiang Xinyue and the others left the private room,

Zheng Xiang, Chen Yihe, Sun Xianglong, and the others put on a splendid show of dogs biting dogs!
