Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Diplomat Farrell

When the Ferris wheel stopped, people began to disembark from the Observation Cabins one by one.

Only Jiang Qin’s Observation Cabin showed no signs of movement.

Yun Xie’s eyes glinted dangerously, and he immediately moved to rip the cabin door open by force.

But the next moment, the door opened.

Disheveled and emanating a murderous aura, Jiang Qingfeng descended, carrying a tightly wrapped Jiang Qin in his arms.

The color drained from Yun Xie’s face at the sight. The scent clinging to them was all too familiar.

Enraged, Yun Xie instantly shifted into his beast form. A colossal Demon Flame Flood Dragon blotted out the sun, casting a shadow over the sky.

“Mr. Yun, calm down!!”

“A Beastman is attacking the Ferris wheel! Requesting backup from the Law Enforcement Team.”

“An SS-level male Beastman is on a rampage! Get up there and stop him!!”

The tourists screamed and fled, while the program’s security staff all transformed into their beast forms and moved to intercept Yun Xie.

But Yun Xie ignored them all, his cold voice directed only at Jiang Qingfeng. “Let her go!”

“Don’t be rash,” Jiang Qingfeng said, his face dark.

Jiang Qin could no longer worry about being too embarrassed to face anyone. She immediately threw off the clothes covering her and called out to Yun Xie, “Yun Xie, I’m fine! Let’s just leave first and talk later.”

Seeing that she was conscious, the harshness in Yun Xie’s expression softened slightly.

With a cold snort, he shifted back to his human form and snatched Jiang Qin from Jiang Qingfeng’s arms.

He then held her and sprinted all the way to a hotel, not even bothering to return to the program’s villa.

Jiang Qingfeng didn’t follow. Instead, his face grim, he left in another direction. Anyone watching closely would have noticed the unsteadiness in his steps.

After all, forcibly suppressing a mating cycle was no small harm to a Beastman.

…

Just as everyone was still trying to make sense of the sudden turn of events, Long Hao also descended from the Observation Cabin.

His expression was also grim. After disembarking, he didn’t linger, only saying, “That female… Kasha, or whatever her name is. When she comes out, arrest her and take her directly to the Law Enforcement Department.”

’I underestimated her. It seems when greed is great enough, some people really will stop at nothing.’

***

Back at the hotel, Yun Xie looked at Jiang Qin, his heart aching with both pain and self-reproach.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m really fine…” Jiang Qin’s face was flushed with shame.

Although they had all been inexplicably thrown into a mating frenzy, those two males were decent enough to endure it through sheer willpower.

She, on the other hand, had clung to them when her mind was clouded, nearly turning the small space into the scene of an R-rated movie.

Fortunately, she had come to her senses quickly.

But the two of them had already reached their breaking point. With no other choice, she could only give them a standard pacification.

As for how they found their release, they took care of it themselves while she kept her eyes closed the entire time.

But… the scorching, ambiguous heat in the air and the thick scent of arousal had been enough to make her flush crimson.

At the thought that everyone would misunderstand and think she was so wild when the door opened, Jiang Qin felt like she was going to die of social embarrassment.

That was why she hadn’t refused when Jiang Qingfeng had wrapped her up tightly and carried her out.

After all, with her face covered, she could at least save a little face.

She just hadn’t expected Yun Xie to misunderstand.

After hearing her explanation, Yun Xie let out a sigh of relief. “I thought… they forced you.”

’Just a moment ago, I was ready to take Jiang Qingfeng down with me. I would have traded my life for his to kill the one who bullied Jiang Qin!’

Jiang Qin blushed. “No, nothing like that. It was unexpected, but I wasn’t taken advantage of. They’re actually quite decent.”

“Hmph. They have the heart of a thief but not the guts. If they dared to force a female, how many lives do you think they have to spare?”

“It wouldn’t matter even if the Empire tried to protect them. As long as Jiang Qin was determined to press charges, the Female Protection Association would definitely intervene and bring them to justice.”

However, when something like this happened, the Empire’s standard procedure was basically to silence everyone.

Silence the media, and silence the victim.

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Jiang Qin received an unknown call from the Empire.

“Excuse me, is this Miss Jiang Qin?”

“I am.”

“Hello, I am the Empire’s Diplomat, Farrell. On behalf of the Empire, we are deeply sorry for today’s incident.

“However, Young Marshal Jiang and Prince Hao have always been outstanding males of our Empire. They have made countless contributions to protecting Interstellar security.

“For such males to be ruined over this would be a terrible shame, and a loss for the entire Beastman race.

“At the end of the day, the root of this incident lies in the greed of a few insatiable individuals.

“We were hoping you might see fit to be magnanimous and let them off the hook.

“The Empire is willing to offer generous compensation for this.”

Jiang Qin asked, “Have you found out who was behind it?”

Farrell didn’t hide anything. “It was the female, Kasha. She and her family made a deal with traitors to the Empire.

“The restaurant you ate at today has been shut down. The meat itself wasn’t tampered with.

“The problem was the source of the meat. It came from a mutated Alien Beast from the Deep Sea.

“According to the chef, that Alien Beast was sold to them yesterday by someone from the female Kasha’s family.

“It’s a new type of mutated Alien Beast. Because its contamination level was extremely low and the meat was delicious, the restaurant accepted it.

“The seller didn’t ask for a high price. Their only request was that the meat from around the Alien Beast’s heart be reserved for the female Kasha.

“They had the restaurant freeze it and wait for Miss Kasha to come and enjoy it.”

“We’ve only just detected that this type of Exotic Beast Meat actually has a subtle effect that can induce a mating cycle.

“The effect from other parts of the body is not very obvious, but the meat from around the Alien Beast’s heart is comparable to a potent aphrodisiac.

“But it’s an inherent property of the meat itself; it contains no medicinal compounds, which is why instruments couldn’t detect any problems.

“This cut of meat was originally set aside by Kasha for Long Hao to consume.

“Her plan was to find an opportunity during the show’s filming to invite him to the restaurant for a meal, and then find a chance to be alone with him to seal the deal.

“The reason she changed her plan was that today’s opportunity was just too perfect!

“So perfect, in fact, that her family and the people backing her felt it was a heaven-sent opportunity.

“They could ruin Jiang Qingfeng and get their hooks into Long Hao in one fell swoop.

“According to the plan devised by Kasha and her family, the result should have been Jiang Qingfeng being forced to marry a C-level female and retiring from the front lines due to his Riot Value.

“Meanwhile, she would have successfully bagged the Third Prince and used the affair to threaten him into cleaning up her mess and smoothing over the plot against Jiang Qingfeng.

“After all, on one hand, you have a ruined Young Marshal who has nothing to do with him; on the other, you have his future female master with whom he’s had intimate contact. She was certain he would help her cover it up!

“However, Long Hao hadn’t gotten into the same Observation Cabin as her.

“Without that piece of leverage to hold over him, all that awaited her now was a reckoning.

“The only problem was that the female involved turned out to be from the Federation, which put the Empire’s high command in a difficult position.

“If she had been a female from the Empire, then regardless of whether Jiang Qingfeng and Long Hao ended up marrying her, it wouldn’t have been difficult to sweep the matter under the rug with enough compensation and ’ideological work’.

“But she just had to be a female from the Federation.

“If the Federation were to contact this female, use this incident to their advantage, and convince her to refuse any settlement…

“…then their Empire would lose two outstanding, High-level male Beastmen!

“Especially SS-level Jiang Qingfeng!

“Putting themselves in the other’s shoes, if their Empire had a chance to damage the Federation’s talent, they wouldn’t let the opportunity slip by either.

“Therefore, they were now afraid that with the Federation’s intervention, they would be unable to protect the two men.

“And so, they wanted to placate Jiang Qin before the news inevitably leaked.
