Chapter 22 Part 3
Lou Ting pinched his brow and realized that he was indeed quite dangerous.
However, instead of feeling even the slightest bit of fear about being targeted, Lou Ting was rather… eager for action.
A calm and peaceful life was dull and boring.

Why was this Omega more warlike than him?
Helpless, He Yunzhou gave up on persuading him and simply said, “I’ll drive you back.”
Lou Ting didn’t refuse He Yunzhou’s kindness.
He Yunzhou drove Lou Ting to the security room outside the perimeter wall. Just as Lou Ting was about to get out of the car, he saw the security guard running out and opening the door.
As the car drove away, the security guard waved and smiled at them.
“What…?” Wasn’t this the same person who didn’t open the door for him during the day?
He Yunzhou parked the car in the parking space behind the dormitory and said, “This car is for you.”
Lou Ting said, “I don’t need it.” He didn’t even have a driver’s license, so what would he do with a car?
He Yunzhou said, “I’ll arrange a driver for you tomorrow. You can let the driver take you wherever you want to go. The hovercar is equipped with the latest defense system, and in case of any accidents, it’s connected to the Imperial Military, ensuring your safety to the greatest extent.”
Lou Ting asked him, “And what about you?”
“I have plenty.”
“…”
Having money is really great.
“Go back and rest. If you need anything, contact me in time.” After a pause, He Yunzhou added, “If you remember anything, make sure to let me know.”
He was curious about what happened during the missing part of his memory.
Lou Ting said, “Okay.”
Although he said that, he wasn’t sure if he could actually remember.
The original owner’s memories were already incomplete, and when it came to matters involving psychic abilities, the original owner had no recollection at all.
Lou Ting could only do his best.
After He Yunzhou left, Lou Ting inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The events that had happened to the original owner were too complicated, and Lou Ting couldn’t digest them all at once.
With his tired body, he returned to the dormitory, only to find that there was no one there.
It seemed that Yu Yimeng hadn’t come back yet. Having slept for a long time in the afternoon, Lou Ting didn’t feel sleepy at all. He decided to fill the bathtub with warm water and have a relaxing bath.
There was a movable tray in the middle of the bathtub, and Lou Ting put some fruits on it and placed his phone there to browse Weibo.
Just as he got into the bathtub, he saw a message from He Yunzhou.
He Yunzhou: [I ordered some takeout for you. Eat it before sleeping.]
Lou Ting was about to reply that he wasn’t hungry, but He Yunzhou sent another message: [Eat something even if you’re not hungry. It’s not good for your stomach to sleep on an empty one.]
Upon reading the message, Lou Ting sighed helplessly. Dealing with this type of character who responds better to gentle persuasion than forceful commands was really difficult.
So, Lou Ting replied, “Don’t order too much, I can’t finish it.”
He Yunzhou responded, “Okay, I ordered some easily digestible porridge.”
He Yunzhou’s words sounded casual, so Lou Ting assumed it would be plain congee or something like lean pork and century egg congee.
But when he received the takeout, and saw the thin layer of rice on top of various seafood, he fell into contemplation.
Congee?
I’ve been fooled by you. Should I say it or not? The seafood tastes good. It’s especially fresh without any fishy smell.
The meat is tender too. He doesn’t have to struggle with peeling the shells. Unconsciously, he had eaten almost half of it.
As he was eating, a sharp female voice came from outside, “Lou Ting, get out here!”
Followed by two knocks on the door.
Then it seemed like someone was holding her back. “Yu Jinxia, stop causing trouble!”
It was Liang Caijin’s voice.
“Liang, don’t meddle in this matter. My brother is missing and I came to ask questions. What’s wrong with that?!” Yu Jinxia angrily knocked on the door. “Lou Ting, get out here quickly! Stop hiding like a coward! Are you still a man?!”
Lou Ting leisurely dried himself off and blew dry his hair, meticulously grooming himself before finally opening the door.
After all, he wasn’t the one in a hurry.
Upon seeing Lou Ting, Yu Jinxia suddenly froze. Her powerful aura of pointing fingers and scolding dissipated instantly.
The hair, which had just been blown dry, was not completely dry yet. The damp ends of the hair stuck to the forehead, giving it a messy yet beautiful appearance.
This close-up encounter with his handsome features was even more shocking than before.
The words of scolding from Yu Jinxia choked in her throat. After several breaths, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Where did you hide my brother?!” Although her voice wasn’t low, it lacked the sharpness from before.
“Why would I hide him?” Lou Ting raised an eyebrow. “Do you want me to brew him some tea?”
“Quit your nonsense! I’ve already reported it to the police. You better hand over my brother quickly, or don’t blame me for being impolite!” Yu Jinxia was most concerned about her brother, and his disappearance had driven her almost crazy.
“Liang Caijin, why did you stop me?!” Yu Jinxia turned around and slapped Liang Caijin.
This…?
Lou Ting’s expression gradually darkened. Yu Jinxia showed no respect for Liang Caijin whatsoever.
On the other hand, Liang Caijin, despite being slapped, only pursed his lips and showed no intention of striking back.
It seems like this was more than just a simple threat.
Lou Ting wondered what kind of leverage Yu Jinxia had in her hands that made Liang Caijin react this way…
At this moment, the director rushed over and hastily asked, “What’s going on here? Why are you causing a commotion?”
Yu Jinxia sarcastically remarked, “Oh, so now you decide to show up? Where were you when my brother went missing?”
Fang Huandong was puzzled. “Who can stop Yu Yimeng? Besides, we have tight security here. Even if he wanted to leave, how could it be my fault?”
Yu Jinxia didn’t come here today to find Fang Huandong, so naturally, she didn’t pay him much attention. She turned her head and shouted at Lou Ting, “Lou Ting, you better watch out—Ah!”
Her words abruptly stopped as a stone, flying from nowhere, hit Yu Jinxia’s head directly. Blood instantly flowed out.
Lou Ting looked up and followed the direction where the stone came from. He saw He Yunzhou hurriedly walking towards them and asked, “Are you okay?”
Lou Ting shook his head and asked, “Didn’t you go back?”
He Yunzhou was momentarily speechless by his question and simply handed him the cake in his hand. “I was afraid the porridge wouldn’t suit your taste, so I bought some dessert instead.”
After finishing his porridge, Lou Ting was immediately handed a bag of desserts.
He Yunzhou glanced at the barely conscious Yu Jinxia leaning against the wall and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”
Yu Jinxia had been confused since He Yunzhou came out. Initially, she had been full of momentum, wanting to hold someone accountable for hitting her. But when it turned out to be He Yunzhou, Yu Jinxia promptly closed her mouth.
He Yunzhou raised an eyebrow. “Cat got your tongue?”
Yu Jinxia could only remain silent, still trembling with fear. He Yunzhou clearly sided with Lou Ting. No matter what Yu Jinxia said, she would only face criticism. It was better for her to act like an ostrich and bury her head in the sand.
He Yunzhou turned to Lou Ting and said, “It’s getting late. You should rest.”
“But this…”
“I’ll handle things here,” He Yunzhou interrupted, placing a hand on Lou Ting’s shoulder and turning him around, pushing him into the dormitory. “Remember to dry your hair before sleeping.”
Then he closed the door firmly.
He Yunzhou turned to the director and said, “You can go back too.”
Fang Huandong didn’t say a word and simply turned to leave.
Finally…
Yu Jinxia felt that something was off in He Yunzhou’s gaze. She sensed that she might be in trouble and quickly said, “Mr. He, I was just desperately looking for my brother. I didn’t mean any harm.”
“My brother has been missing for a whole day, and I’m extremely worried.”
“I…”
As she spoke, Yu Jinxia’s voice became increasingly soft, gradually fading away under the immense pressure of an Alpha.
As an Alpha herself, Yu Jinxia felt suffocated, her fear causing her pupils to contract. She struggled to speak up for herself but couldn’t even open her mouth.
Suddenly, Yu Jinxia’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
He Yunzhou was about to make a phone call to ask someone to handle the situation when Liang Caijin said, “I’ll take her back.”
He Yunzhou nodded. “Hmm.”
After speaking, he intended to leave but happened to catch a glimpse of Lou Ting standing by the window.
Lou Ting had initially wanted to see how He Yunzhou would handle the situation, but he didn’t expect that a single look from the boss would scare the other person into fainting. Now, Lou Ting was caught red-handed.
Lou Ting, holding onto the belief that as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, it would be others’ thoughts that were awkward, waved his hand casually and said, “Goodnight.”
He Yunzhou smiled and replied, “Goodnight.”
—
The next day, Lou Ting woke up early and went downstairs for morning exercises. The winter playground was destined to be lonely.
In preparation for possible emergencies in the future, Lou Ting diligently trained his body, striving to reach his optimal condition as quickly as possible. After running a few laps, he stopped and walked two more laps. It was about time to go back.
On the way back, Lou Ting glanced at the hovercar. There was only that one car in the parking lot.
With a single glance, he noticed that there seemed to be something inside the car.
In the backseat, there was a massive black… panther?
Was it a black panther?
The black panther was still asleep, lying on its side in the rear seat. The backseat of the hovercar was spacious, so even though the black panther had a large physique, it didn’t curl up but rather stretched out comfortably in deep slumber.
In this view, the black panther appeared particularly handsome.
Its fur was sleek and shiny, meticulously groomed. Even with its eyes closed, one could sense the aura of a fierce beast.
Especially its paws, they were… pink!
Giant, pink paws.
What a strange combination.
Lou Ting was already fond of cats, and now seeing such a large cat, he was somewhat unable to move.
Men always yearn for power, and the black panther was unmatched among fierce beasts in terms of both speed and biting force.
This large cat feels more impressive when touched compared to a small kitten.
Lou Ting unlocked the car door and entered through the rear door.
Although he didn’t know how this black panther got in, the car was temporarily loaned to him by He Yunzhou, and since the black panther appeared during the time it belonged to him, one could say that this black panther was also his!
Because he was uncertain about the panther’s aggression, Lou Ting was cautious as he touched it, starting by gently squeezing its paw.
The pink pads were very elastic, larger than his own hand.
From the outside, it was not easy to gauge the size of the black panther, but only when observed up close did Lou Ting realize how truly massive it was, much larger than the ones he had seen in the zoo before he transmigrated.
At the very least, it was about three to four times larger.
The fur of the black panther was not as soft as that of a small fox. When stroked in the direction of the fur, it felt smooth, but in the opposite direction, it was slightly rough and prickly.
Even while sleeping, the panther’s tail would occasionally flick.
Inside the car, the sound of the panther snoring could be heard.
It wasn’t noisy; if placed at night, it seemed to have a sleep-inducing effect.
Lou Ting was engrossed in his petting when footsteps came from behind.
Yu Senze said from behind, “Lou Ting, what are you doing…”
In the instant he spoke, the black panther suddenly opened its eyes. It had cat-like pupils, but its eyes were golden, revealing a chilling aura when it looked up.
Yu Senze’s words got stuck in his throat, and he stuttered, unable to say anything.
Lou Ting asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”
Lou Ting looked up and saw Yu Senze staring at the black panther’s face as if he had seen a ghost. Lou Ting looked at it suspiciously and found that the panther was still peacefully asleep. How could it scare him like this?
“No, nothing,” Yu Senze forced a smile. “Um… we’ll gather later. Make good use of your time.”
After saying that, he turned his head and ran away. Oh my, why was He Yunzhou here?! That scared the life out of me! Yu Senze came quickly and left even faster.
Lou Ting hadn’t figured out what was going on, and he was already far away.
“Weird,” Lou Ting couldn’t help but mutter as he casually grabbed the black panther’s ears.
At the same time, he found it strange that this panther had such poor vigilance. It didn’t wake up even with all that commotion. If this were in the wild, wouldn’t it be taken advantage of by other animals?
Thinking about it, Lou Ting suddenly paused.
He had very few memories of the interstellar world, so when he saw animals, his first instinct, just like before he transmigrated, was to think they were wild panthers.
But… this was the interstellar world!
Humans could transform into beasts!
The fact that this huge black panther in front of him couldn’t be the result of a normal wild animal growing up became evident.
So…
Could it be that the panther he had been petting for so long was—?
Lou Ting pondered and opened the search engine, typing in the words “black panther.”
The first result that popped up was He Yunzhou’s personal profile.
Lou Ting: “…”
Well, well.
Could he still pretend not to know anything and secretly run away at this point?
But… the panther really felt amazing!
The pleasure of petting a large cat cannot be truly felt without getting hands-on. Besides, He Yunzhou was still asleep, and he had also enjoyed petting the fox before.
It was just a matter of fairness.
With this in mind, Lou Ting jumped down without any hesitation and ran away.
After he left, He Yunzhou dared to open his eyes and looked at the small patch of fur on the ground, lost in thought.
It couldn’t be… he didn’t really pet him until he went bald, right?
