CHAPTER 1: AS A LAWYER, IT IS NOT GOOD TO KNOW THE LAW AND BREAK IT, RIGHT?

On a summer night that had already transitioned into the early hours of the morning, even the once-incessant chirping of cicadas outside had come to a halt. Contrary to the usual quiet atmosphere, the police station was crowded with people.

The ventilation fan emitted a low, continuous sound, while the air nonetheless retained the lingering scent of various pheromones.

The Omega, blessed with long legs, sat confidently on the chair, crossing both knees with poise. Despite being surrounded by three Alpha police officers, the Omega maintained a remarkable sense of calm and composure.

On the opposite side, another AO couple, who were being confronted by the police officers as well, displayed much more unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Nie Zihang raised his chin, arching an eyebrow, as he looked at the couple across from him. A slightly smug smile played on his lips.

The Alpha stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and lunged straight towards him.

The tall and formidable Alpha police officers, who were in close proximity, swiftly intercepted the altercation before it could escalate further. In the midst of this, Nie Zihang remained remarkably composed and unfazed; not even a single strand of his hair was out of place.

“What do you think you are doing? Can you not conduct yourself appropriately, especially after being brought into the police station?”

A chilling voice resonated from outside, laced with a tinge of anger.

Then, a slender and tall man pushed open the door and strode into the room, clutching a file folder in his hands.

The badge on the man’s shoulder distinguished him from the police officers in the room. His refined demeanour and impeccable manners were evident, yet his gaze carried a cold and distant aura.

Nie Zihang’s nostrils twitched as he disdainfully shifted his gaze away.

Tsk, another disgusting Alpha.

“Nie Zihang, come here,” the man said.

The cold voice resonated overhead.

Nie Zihang glanced upwards and saw the person in the police uniform, who was staring at him with lips tightly pursed.

Despite being an Alpha and a police officer, this individual possessed delicate facial features reminiscent of egg whites. A small brown mole adorned the corner of his eye, further enhancing the femininity of his already refined appearance.

Based solely on his appearance, he indeed did not possess the typical characteristics associated with an Alpha.

Nie Zihang’s gaze shifted downward; his eyes were scanning the badge on the man’s chest.

Badge number: 39520

Yu Jingxuan

Hmm, the name does possess a sense of grandeur and majesty.

“What are you staring at? Come over here and make a statement.”

Seeing him not moving, Yu Jingxuan could not help but urge him, his voice sounding much softer than before.

After speaking, Yu Jingxuan cast a cold glance at the Alpha, who had caused the disturbance earlier, his tone brimming with iciness. “Behave yourself. Did you happen to notice the handcuffs in the corner? If sitting is too tiresome for you, feel free to squat over there.”

Unexpectedly, the Alpha, who had exuded fierceness and menace moments ago, appeared surprisingly composed. With a sorrowful expression, his gaze was fixed on Yu Jingxuan, as if he had something to convey.

However, Yu Jingxuan did not even glance at the person and instead turned around and walked straight into the interrogation room.

Nie Zihang briefly acknowledged the Alpha’s submissive demeanour, appreciating it for a moment, before calmly rising from his seat and making his way over.

“Tell me, why did you throw a concentrated pheromone bomb into the hot pot restaurant?” Yu Jingxuan inquired, unscrewing the cap of his pen.

Indeed, it was Nie Zihang, the renowned lawyer of the city, who had arrived at the police station early in the morning. The reason behind his presence was his alleged act of throwing an Omega pheromone bomb into the bustling hot pot restaurant in the city.

When the pheromone bomb detonated, the situation quickly spiralled out of control, resulting in a chaotic and spectacular scene.

The motive behind his actions stemmed from the betrayal of his Omega boyfriend, who had shamelessly cheated on him with an Alpha and proceeded to go on a date in the bustling city area.

Oh, right. Nie Zihang was not only an Omega but also had a preference for Omega partners. This incident marked the third time that an Omega partner had betrayed him by being involved with an Alpha. The pain of these repeated betrayals deeply affected him, prompting him to confront them by obtaining pheromone concentrate bombs.

When Nie Zihang learned about the incident involving the pair of dogs in heat, nearly engaging in a public display of aggression, he responded with a sarcastic laugh and remarked, “Of course, it brings pleasure. I enjoy this sort of thing.”

As soon as the words were uttered, a deep sigh resonated from the other side.

“Mr. Nie Zihang, I kindly request that you adjust your attitude. While there may be certain privileges for Omegas in our country, as per the ABO Constitution, your behaviour of releasing a significant amount of pheromones in public spaces has greatly disrupted social order and incited the aggression of several Alphas present in the restaurant. Your actions are being investigated for potential endangerment of national public security and disruption of public order.”

“I have thoroughly reviewed your personal information, Mr. Nie, and as a lawyer, you should be well aware of the consequences that come with violating these regulations. I am not here to plead with you or allow you to absolve yourself of any guilt. Furthermore…”

He spoke and glanced up and down at Nie Zihang, saying, “Mr. Nie, as a lawyer, it is not good for your professional development and for yourself to know the law and break it, right?”

I have to say, Yu Jingxuan’s composure is really impressive.

Despite the obvious provocation from Nie Zihang, Yu Jingxuan managed to maintain his composure and respond in a polite manner, even though he was clearly angered.

Nie Zihang leaned back lazily in his chair and extended his hand towards him, saying, “Bring it on.”

Yu Jingxuan was taken aback. “What?”

Nie Zihang responded, “My phone, of course. You wanted to know, right? Without my phone, how can I show you?”

Yu Jingxuan: …

“Xiao Chen, bring him the phone.”

The small security guard stationed at the door promptly responded and left the room. It did not take long for him to return, carrying a transparent bag.

Yu Jingxuan grabbed the bag and tossed it in front of Nie Zihang, cautioning, “Do not even think about pulling any tricks. The interrogation room is equipped with 360-degree high-definition surveillance, capturing both audio and video recordings.”

Nie Zihang raised an eyebrow at him and replied, “Officer Yu, you must be new here, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I am quite familiar with this room, perhaps even more so than you.”

After uttering those words, he deftly retrieved a video from his phone’s gallery and pressed the play button before tossing it in front of Yu Jingxuan.

Suddenly, a cacophony of voices erupted from the phone.

In the footage, it depicted the same AO couple from earlier in the lobby. Nie Zihang’s voice could be heard emanating from the phone’s speaker:

“I am recording, you know? How can I not preserve such an exciting scene? It is all part of my professional conduct as a lawyer, right?”

In the footage, Omega appeared with a concerned expression on his face. He leaned forward, attempting to reach for the phone. “Zihang, stop!”

As the camera shook, it quickly pivoted and zoomed in on the Alpha standing beside them.

“Stop? Why should I stop? When have I ever stopped when you asked me to, huh? Aren’t you the one who loves it when I cannot stop? Or perhaps you should inquire with your current partner to verify the truth of what I am saying, right?”

The Alpha’s face paled as he rose to his feet. With a resounding “crash,” he shattered the beer bottle against the table.

The entire restaurant abruptly fell into silence, and the camera zoomed in on Alpha’s contorted face and his laboured breathing.

Then, a voice could be heard exclaiming, “This Alpha is emitting suppressive pheromones! How uncivilized! Isn’t this against the law?”

The camera suddenly spun, and Nie Zihang appeared in the frame.

Despite being heavily affected by the Alpha’s suppressive pheromones, Nie Zihang displayed no signs of panic. In fact, a faint smirk graced his lips.

Yu Jingxuan was well acquainted with such subtle expressions. It was evident that Nie Zihang’s plan had triumphed, and he exuded confidence in his impending victory.

“Everyone witnessed that, right? It was this Alpha who initially employed pheromones to suppress me.”

In the footage, the Omega spoke each word deliberately, exuding a strong presence.

A chorus of agreement followed, with voices echoing, “Yes, yes, yes!”

Then, he reached into his pocket and retrieved a glass ball, forcefully smashing it onto the table.

It was the Omega-concentrated pheromone bomb.

“How about it, Officer Yu? Are you satisfied with what you have seen? Do you need a copy of this video? I can add you on Feixin¹A popular messaging app in China. and send it directly to you.”

Nie Zihang took back his phone and calmly opened the QR code of his work account.

“According to the ABO Protection Law, what I did was a standard Omega’s legitimate self-defence. Officer Yu, I believe you will not show favouritism towards the wrongdoer just because you are an Alpha, right? Oh, I forgot to mention. That Alpha outside, who suppressed me with pheromones, has already violated the ABO Protection Law. Officer Yu, there is no need to look up the regulations. Such behaviour should result in a 15-day detention and a fine of 5,000 yuan. You are welcome.”

Officer Yu Jingxuan: “Mr. Nie, you can directly send the video to my email.”

Although you say that, I have already finished scanning the code.

Nie Zihang nodded and agreed, “As the owner of a law firm, I always have to think about expanding my business. There are so many people in the office waiting to be supported. Officer Yu, if you ever come across any complicated cases in the future, remember to recommend me. Don’t worry, I will not give you any kickbacks. I rely solely on my reputation to get things done, and I never take any unethical shortcuts. When it comes to the legal field, I am the expert.”

Officer Yu Jingxuan rubbed his temples and remarked, “Finding a way to attract clients without spending a single penny, you certainly have a knack for making it sound honourable. Mr. Nie, you truly live up to your reputation as the boss.”

Nitpicking.

Nie Zihang smiled and responded, “Officer Yu, you flatter me.”

After uttering those words, Nie Zihang proceeded to count his belongings and make preparations to depart.

Just as he was on the verge of crossing the threshold, Nie Zihang hesitated and took a step back inside.

Officer Yu Jingxuan inquired, “Mr. Nie, is there anything else that you have overlooked?”

With a defiant demeanour, Nie Zihang lifted his chin towards the camera on the door frame and declared, “I neglected to mention one thing. There is surveillance in this place, so there is no need for me to create another video. Officer Yu appears to have a close relationship with that Alpha outside, so I implore you not to let personal favouritism cloud your judgement.”

Suddenly, the upright Alpha’s eyelashes twitched.

Nie Zihang’s lips curled into a knowing smile as he said, “Officer Yu, you do not think I am oblivious to it, do you? As I mentioned earlier, I am well-versed in the field of law. Microexpressions are part of the fundamentals.”
