Top-Tier Omega: Chasing Alpha to the Crematorium – Chapter 49
by Little PandaWhat If I Got You Pregnant?
Zhan Nansheng, who by nature admired the strong, didn’t take Ming Yu’s words to heart at all. Instead, she scoffed: “Ming Yu, don’t take individual exceptions among Omegas as representative of overall strength. After all, Omegas are naturally weaker than Alphas—that’s an indisputable fact.”
“Very well, Lieutenant General Zhan. I understand your position.”
Zhan Nansheng had expected Ming Yu to continue arguing with her, but surprisingly, the other woman didn’t refute further. Instead, she appeared to concede with a look of helpless compromise—completely out of character for someone as dominant as Ming Yu. Zhan Nansheng instinctively sensed something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Ming Yu stood up and made a call.
“Director Wu, I apologize, but Vice-Chancellor Zhan has expressed dissatisfaction with the large number of Omegas being admitted. The candidates you recommended may not be able to enroll for now…”
“What?” Before Ming Yu could finish, Zhan Nansheng’s expression changed. “These Omegas… were recommended by Wu Lan?”
Watching Zhan Nansheng’s sudden change in demeanor, a rare flicker of amusement appeared on Ming Yu’s usually calm face. This Director Wu was truly formidable—she had managed to subdue the normally arrogant and overbearing Zhan Nansheng into such obedience.
Seeing her silence, Zhan Nansheng grew anxious. “Ming Yu, say something! Wu Lan… what did Wu Lan just say?”
Ming Yu rarely showed such an expression of someone enjoying a spectacle. “Nothing much. Director Wu said she’ll come personally to speak with Vice-Chancellor Zhan in a while.”
Hearing this, Zhan Nansheng instinctively felt a chill run down her spine, and a suspicious flush crept up behind her ears.
She forcefully suppressed her inner panic and countered with feigned composure: “Don’t change the subject. Even if Wu Lan comes, it won’t change anything. I… I won’t change my position.”
Ming Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a glint of amusement in her eyes.
She unhurriedly sat back down in her chair, crossing her hands on the desk. Her tone was calm but carried a hint of provocation: “Lieutenant General Zhan, since you’re so insistent, let’s wait for Director Wu to arrive before continuing this discussion. After all, Director Wu is the perfect example—she’s not only not weaker than any Alpha, she’s even more outstanding than most. Can you really deny her achievements?”
Hearing this, Zhan Nansheng’s expression grew even worse. She tried to maintain her composure: “Ming Yu, you’re deliberately stalling. No matter how impressive Director Wu is, it doesn’t change the fact that Omegas are naturally weaker than Alphas.”
Ming Yu chuckled softly, her gaze sharp as a blade: “Lieutenant General Zhan, you keep saying Omegas are weaker than Alphas, but have you ever considered that it’s precisely this prejudice that limits their development? What they need are opportunities—reasonable training and suitable positions—and they won’t be weaker than Alphas. Director Wu thinks so too. She knows these recommended Omegas better than we do.”
Zhan Nansheng was momentarily speechless. Wu Lan’s achievements were indeed impeccable. As the Director of the Bureau of Investigation, her capabilities and methods were beyond the reach of many Alphas. Zhan Nansheng had words she couldn’t speak—she couldn’t possibly reveal that Wu Lan wasn’t actually an Omega.
She snorted coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: “Director Wu is an exception. We can’t generalize from one case. The military academy is a place to train warriors, not a charity. We can’t lower our standards out of sympathy.”
Ming Yu was about to refute when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Wu Lan walked in wearing a crisp uniform, her steps light. Her gaze lingered on Zhan Nansheng for a moment before turning to Ming Yu with a slight smile: “Admiral Ming, apologies for being late.”
Ming Yu stood up and nodded: “Director Wu, your timing is perfect. Lieutenant General Zhan has some objections to the Omega candidates we’ve recommended. I’d like to hear your opinion.”
Wu Lan’s gaze fell on Zhan Nansheng again, her eyes holding a deeper meaning.
She walked slowly to stand before Zhan Nansheng, her tone calm but unquestionable: “Vice-Chancellor Zhan, can you tell me why you oppose these Omegas’ admission?”
Zhan Nansheng felt somewhat guilty under Wu Lan’s gaze, but she still forced herself to stand straight and spoke stiffly: “Director Wu, I believe Omegas are generally weaker than Alphas in physical fitness and mental strength, making them unsuitable for military academies. Moreover, they’re older, and after graduation, they may quickly choose marriage and childbearing, which would be a waste of the academy’s resources.”
Wu Lan listened and nodded gently, seemingly unsurprised by Zhan Nansheng’s answer.
She turned to look at Ming Yu, her tone gentle: “Admiral Ming, could you excuse us for a moment? I’d like to speak with Vice-Chancellor Zhan alone.”
Ming Yu smiled and stood up without hesitation: “Of course, Director Wu. Please go ahead.”
With that, she walked straight out of the office, closing the door behind her.
Seeing this, Zhan Nansheng’s heart tightened. She instinctively wanted to follow: “Wu Lan, we have nothing to discuss privately, I…”
Before she could finish, Wu Lan had already stepped in front of her and gripped her wrist.
Her grip wasn’t particularly tight, but Zhan Nansheng felt an invisible pressure emanating from her that made her unable to move.
“Zhan Nansheng,” Wu Lan’s voice was low and dangerous, “have you forgotten what I said before?”
Zhan Nansheng tried to break free from Wu Lan’s grip but found her strength utterly insignificant compared to Wu Lan’s. Her breathing became rapid, her voice trembling slightly: “Wu Lan, you… don’t go too far. This is Military Headquarters. You can’t just do whatever you want…”
Wu Lan chuckled softly, her fingers gently brushing across Zhan Nansheng’s cheek, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness: “Eldest Miss, do you think I care where we are? Since you dared to cause trouble deliberately, you should have considered the consequences.”
Zhan Nansheng’s heart pounded like a drum. She could feel Wu Lan’s pheromones gradually releasing, filling the air with an intense pressure.
Her legs began to weaken, barely able to support her, but she still refused to show weakness: “Wu Lan, you’re mixing personal and professional matters! You can’t interfere with the academy’s selection because of personal grudges!”
Wu Lan shook her head and smiled meaningfully: “In that case, let’s discuss the issue between Alphas and Omegas.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhan Nansheng’s voice trembled.
Feeling Zhan Nansheng’s trembling, Wu Lan chuckled softly, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: “Eldest Miss, do you think that because Alphas are naturally stronger than Omegas, Alphas should look down on Omegas from above instead of helping them become stronger?
If that’s the case, then since I’m stronger than you, shouldn’t I also look down on you and do whatever I want to you? For example… marking you, letting you experience what it’s like to be an Omega.”
Zhan Nansheng’s pupils suddenly contracted. She felt Wu Lan’s fingers gently stroking her gland, the sensation making her entire body tremble.
“Wu Lan, you… you wouldn’t dare!”
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?” Wu Lan sneered, her tone carrying a hint of threat: “Zhan Nansheng, if you continue to be this stubborn and obstruct our work, I don’t mind letting you personally experience an Omega’s ‘weakness.’ Tell me, if I got your belly big, how would everyone in the Federation view you…”
Zhan Nansheng’s breathing grew more and more rapid. Her rationality gradually crumbled under Wu Lan’s pheromone suppression, and she finally couldn’t help but yield: “Wu Lan, stop… I agree. Don’t…”
Wu Lan’s movements stopped, but she didn’t immediately release Zhan Nansheng.
She looked down at Zhan Nansheng’s panicked eyes, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: “Eldest Miss, wouldn’t it have been better if you’d listened earlier? Why force me to take action?”
Zhan Nansheng bit her lip, a flash of humiliation in her eyes, but she didn’t dare resist anymore. The lessons from the past several times had convinced her that Wu Lan would absolutely follow through on her words. If she really released those videos she’d recorded, she wouldn’t be able to live anymore.
Seeing her submission, Wu Lan finally released her hand and unhurriedly straightened her clothes.
Her movements were gentle, as if the earlier threat had never happened.
After finishing, Wu Lan stepped back, her tone returning to calm: “Vice-Chancellor Zhan, can we talk properly now?”
Zhan Nansheng lowered her head and glared at her fiercely. “Can I say no?”
Wu Lan nodded in satisfaction, then called Ming Yu’s light-terminal: “Admiral Ming, could you come over? We’ve reached an agreement.”
Ming Yu soon returned to the office. Seeing Zhan Nansheng sitting on the sofa with a pale face while Wu Lan stood calmly to the side, she understood what had happened but didn’t ask further. She simply smiled and said: “It seems the two of you have reached an understanding?”
Wu Lan nodded, her tone relaxed: “Yes, Vice-Chancellor Zhan has agreed to our recommended admission list. Admiral Ming, you can proceed with the follow-up work.”
Glancing at Zhan Nansheng and seeing no objection, Ming Yu smiled: “That’s wonderful. Lieutenant General Zhan, thank you for your understanding and support.”
Zhan Nansheng forced a smile, her voice dry: “…Ming Yu, don’t be smug.”
Wu Lan walked to Zhan Nansheng’s side and gently patted her shoulder, her tone carrying a hidden warning: “Vice-Chancellor Zhan, if there’s nothing else, you should go back first. Admiral Ming and I still have matters to discuss.”
Zhan Nansheng’s body stiffened. She could only stand up and leave the office.
The moment she walked out, a flash of unwillingness appeared in her eyes.
She didn’t understand why Wu Lan treated Ming Yu so specially, even going so far as to threaten her for Ming Yu’s sake.
Inside the office, Wu Lan watched Zhan Nansheng’s retreating figure and sighed softly.
She turned to Ming Yu and smiled: “Admiral Ming, I apologize for the scene.”
Ming Yu shook her head: “Director Wu, you’re too polite. You’ve gone to great trouble for these Omega candidates.”
Wu Lan smiled slightly, her eyes holding deeper meaning: “Admiral Ming, as fellow Omegas, we naturally have to fight for more opportunities for our own kind. However, I didn’t expect you and Song Qingpei to end up together.”
Hearing her mention Song Qingpei, Ming Yu’s brows furrowed, her tone carrying a hint of wariness: “Director Wu, what do you mean by that?”
Wu Lan chuckled softly: “Admiral Ming, there’s no need to be nervous. I just find Song Qingpei… quite interesting. Although she’s an Alpha, she doesn’t have that typical Alpha arrogance and prejudice. Perhaps she can truly bring you something different.”
She fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking: “Director Wu, what exactly are you trying to say?”
“Admiral Ming, I just hope you’ll cherish the person before you. After all, someone like Song Qingpei is rare.” Wu Lan smiled. “I’ll leave you to your work, Admiral Ming. I’ll be going now.”
Ming Yu didn’t speak further. She watched Wu Lan leave, but ripples stirred in her heart.
Seeing Wu Lan’s reaction today, it was no wonder Song Qingpei had defended her. Her attitude toward Qingpei was completely different from how she treated others—this abnormality made Ming Yu instinctively feel a strong sense of wariness.
She was paying far too much attention to Song Qingpei. That wasn’t a good thing.
Meanwhile.
When Song Qingpei arrived at the Blue Sea repair department in the morning, she found Murong Ruixue’s workstation empty.
She was wondering about it when her colleague Xiao Li poked her head out from nearby: “Engineer Song, looking for Department Head Murong? She was transferred to the military academy today to help interview cadets. She probably won’t be back today. I’m so envious—if only I could participate in the cadet interviews too! Unfortunately, I don’t have enough seniority.”
Song Qingpei nodded. Not having to be on guard against Murong Ruixue, she felt relieved: “Then I’ll go work on the mech I didn’t finish yesterday.”
It was a common combat Worker Bee mech, but the damage was unusually severe. Its outer shell was covered in scorch marks left by energy weapons.
She put on protective gloves, picked up her tools, and began focusedly dismantling the mech’s outer shell.
Time passed minute by minute. The light in the repair workshop gradually dimmed, but she didn’t notice.
Until a concerned voice sounded: “Qingpei, why are you still here at noon? Did you forget to rest and haven’t eaten?”
Murong Ruixue?
Song Qingpei’s body instantly tensed. She instinctively pulled away, but afraid Murong Ruixue might notice something, she feigned surprise: “Ruixue-jie, it’s you. I thought it was Xiao Li.”
Her tone carried just the right amount of surprise, and she let her shoulders relax.
Murong Ruixue had initially felt suspicious due to her stepping back, but seeing her relaxed demeanor now, she thought she had just mistaken her for someone else—this actually made her less guarded.
She smiled and teased: “Xiao Li went to the warehouse to get parts. Come on, let’s go eat together.”
“You haven’t eaten either? Xiao Li said you were busy today, so I thought you wouldn’t come. Actually, I still have some questions about this…” Song Qingpei pointed at the Worker Bee mech.
“Food first!” Murong Ruixue said. “Your health is important. Besides, I haven’t eaten either—think of it as keeping me company.”
“Ah, they don’t even feed you when you’re interviewing cadets?” Song Qingpei walked to the water dispenser, poured herself a cup of water, and handed one to Murong Ruixue as well.
Murong Ruixue took it, thanked her, and continued: “There was a small incident this morning. The chancellor and vice-chancellor had a disagreement, so the admission regulations might need to be revised. That’s why I came back early.”
Song Qingpei’s eyes widened slightly at this. The chancellor was Ming Yu, wasn’t it? “Ming Yu ran into trouble?”
Murong Ruixue’s tone carried a hint of probing: “You seem very concerned about Admiral Ming?”
Song Qingpei’s action of drinking water paused slightly, then she said casually: “After all, she’s Songsong’s mommy. It’s normal to be concerned, isn’t it? What exactly is the issue? Is it convenient to talk about it?”
Murong Ruixue sighed: “It’s Vice-Chancellor Zhan’s prejudice against Omegas. She doesn’t agree with admitting large numbers of Omega military cadets.”
Hearing Zhan Nansheng’s name, a figure immediately appeared in Song Qingpei’s mind.
This person had once approached her to collaborate against Ming Yu and was rejected. She clearly had a domineering personality, but Song Qingpei hadn’t expected her to be so petty—using her position to repeatedly make things difficult for Ming Yu. After all, Ming Yu was genuinely fighting for opportunities for more Omegas this time, doing something that would benefit many people. Song Qingpei couldn’t help but worry—with Ming Yu’s temper, would she be so angry she’d skip meals?
After hesitating for a moment, Song Qingpei rarely took the initiative to send Ming Yu a message.
【No matter what happens, make sure to eat properly. Your health is your greatest asset, after all.】
