[BL] Between an Alpha and Omega

U: Medical Intervention*

AN: I had this chapter planned some time ago and I'm so glad I actually get to use it. You guys have no clue how many scenes go unused because I wrote them long before they would happen and then found that they don't fit anywhere. I hope I can keep the other scenes I wrote and make them fit.

Warning: snowball. That is all.

*****

Chen Guiren wasn't expecting a lot from this evening.

He and Li Suren had been working together to get a business off the ground for months now and were in the final stages of making it a reality. Really, all they needed now were investors.

Cue the man in front of him now.

Young Master Gu was a target for them due to his impeccable reputation and his intuition when it came to investments. If he got involved, it was sure to be a money-making fountain.

That and he had some ties to the darker side of the business so he wasn't going to flinch at Chen Guiren's more aggressive tactics.

This was a plus for the alpha, as he wasn't planning on moving away from his roots. His father was involved in that life too, only pulling back when he got with his slightly more straight-laced husband years later.

But that life didn't let go easily so the threads they still had were very useful when it came to business. Everyone had something to hide, after all.

Young Master Gu, on the other hand, only really had his omega girlfriend. It wasn't something Chen Guiren was willing to touch but it was something he was willing to take advantage of.

Said girlfriend worked as a waitress at a certain club despite having a rich boyfriend. Said boyfriend often accompanied her, staying in a room nearby so they could leave together. This is where Chen Guiren's shameless behavior came in.

Chen Guiren had come in and asked for a short meeting with the man in exchange for some info he wanted. Something about his girl's relative who had skipped town after Young Master Gu had gone after them. He didn't know the details but he could easily assume he didn't have anything positive to say to them.

It got his foot in the door and gun to his head. But it also got him a chance to talk business with the man so it was a win in the end.

Interestingly enough, the club he had cornered the older alpha in was the same one his master was visiting with that omega guy. The men he sent to follow him couldn't get many details but apparently, the omega had a girlfriend who invited them.

Inviting her boyfriend to such a place was weird. Weirder still to let one's girlfriend work in such a seedy place. Then again, he was sure the girl he'd seen with Young Master Gu prior to their meeting wasn't his girlfriend. She had called him 'uncle' and slipped away to meet her boyfriend.

Chen Guiren briefly wondered if there was a connection between the two but found that he couldn't care less.

Despite the weird way things started, their talk went well. The man was already interested in their business ventures and had sought to inquire about their plans before Chen Guiren had shown up. Chen Guiren remained calm, knowing that showing too much enthusiasm would lead to being taken advantage of.

If he and Li Suren wanted to make this happen, they had to be smart.

Then, for no reason at all, everything went to shit.

It started with a phone call that Young Master Gu had answered with a curious urgency. Chen Guiren had assumed it was his girlfriend calling. He'd have complained but if master had called, he'd do the same.
