West Suburb Church, late at night.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, leaving only a pale glimmer.

Qin Shuying went inside, while Xie Guanzhi stood inside the doorway.

"Teacher." Qin Shuying bowed, her voice very soft.

Xie Guanzhi stepped aside. "Come in."

Qin Shuying went inside. The confessional room was small, with only a table and two chairs.

A yellowed world map hung on the wall, marked with many red dots.

Xie Guanzhi sat down in the chair without looking at Qin Shuying.

"What brings you here so late?" he asked.

Qin Shuying sat down, placing her hands on her knees, maintaining an upright posture.

"Teacher, I discovered a promising talent in the competition today."

"An Omega named Su Jingsheng."

Xie Guanzhi looked up at her, his eyes devoid of warmth.

Qin Shuying continued, "She played a piece she composed herself, called 'The Cry'."

"That piece of music is very special. It's like it's speaking out for all bound lives, including Omega and Beta."

Xie Guanzhi didn't speak, he just looked at her.

Qin Shuying took out a tablet, unlocked it, and opened a video.

It is a recording of Su Jingsheng performing.

In the picture, the girl is wearing a moon-white dress, sitting in front of the piano, her profile serene.

Xie Guanzhi watched the video with a blank expression on his face.

As the last note faded, Qin Shuying spoke up: "Teacher, did you hear it?"

"She is thoughtful, talented, and courageous."

"This is exactly the kind of Omega we need. We can develop her, nurture her, and make her a voice for equality..."

"She's not suitable," Xie Guanzhi interrupted her, his voice cold.

Qin Shuying was stunned.

"Why isn't it suitable?" she asked, puzzled.

"She has another important purpose," Xie Guanzhi said, shifting his gaze from the tablet to Qin Shuying's face.

His eyes were unfathomable, carrying a chilling intensity that Qin Shuying couldn't decipher.

"Great use?" Qin Shuying frowned. "What great use?"

Xie Guanzhi did not answer.

He stood up, walked to the world map on the wall, and stroked a red dot with his finger.

The location marked by the red dot is Beijing.

"Do you know who she is?" he asked slowly.

Qin Shuying hesitated, "Su Jingsheng, the eldest daughter of the Su family, is currently studying at S University."

"The eldest daughter of the Su family?" Xie Guanzhi scoffed, turned around, and looked at her.

"Can the daughter of a bankrupt family afford a winter snow necklace? Can she afford to wear Chanel haute couture?"

Qin Shuying was stunned.

Xie Guanzhi walked back to the table, picked up the tablet, and replayed the video, his eyes fixed on the necklace around Su Jingsheng's neck.

"This necklace was a gift from Bo Jinghuai," he said.

"For her, Bo Jinghuai beat someone in public, for her, he turned against his brother, and for her, he didn't even give the old man any face."

He looked up at Qin Shuying and asked, "Do you think we can develop a relationship with an Omega like this?"

Qin Shuying's fingers tightened. "But teacher, she clearly has ideas about equality."

"So what if you have thoughts?" Xie Guanzhi's voice was filled with obvious hatred.

"This Su Jingsheng is Bo Jinghuai's medicine."

"Medicine that can treat his susceptible period."

"And Bo Jinghuai is our greatest enemy."

Qin Shuying's pupils contracted.

"So we're going to destroy her?" Her voice was a little dry.

"right."

Xie Guanzhi straightened up, walked to the window, and looked at the deep night outside.

"Before she appeared, Bo Jinghuai's vulnerable period became increasingly difficult to endure."

"Without a compatible Omega to comfort him, he'll eventually lose control and die."

He turned around and looked at Qin Shuying, "And this Su Jingsheng, who suddenly appeared, may be the only one who can save him."

"Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to develop such an Omega?"

Qin Shuying understood.

Su Jingsheng must die first, so that Bo Jinghuai can be tormented to death by the susceptible period.

She moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing, and turned to leave.

……

A few days later, Shen Qingyue's private concert was held in the main hall of the Shen family manor.

There weren't many people who came, but they were all important figures.

People from the Lu, Yan, and Pei families were present, along with representatives from some smaller families that were affiliated with the four noble families.

Mr. Bo sat in the center of the front row, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

When Bo Jinghuai led Su Jingsheng in, the entire room fell silent for a moment.

All eyes turned to them.

Bo Jinghuai walked with ease, his face expressionless. His innate nobility and arrogance made people afraid to look at him for long.

Su Jingsheng followed beside him, wearing a misty pink long dress, her slender white fingers held in Bo Jinghuai's palm.

The two walked to the front row and sat down next to Mr. Bo.

Old Master Bo turned his head and glared at Bo Jinghuai.

Bo Jinghuai seemed not to notice, releasing Su Jingsheng's hand and instead putting his arm around her waist, making her sit down next to him.

Su Jingsheng sat obediently, her slender white legs pressed together, her skirt draped down to her ankles.

She raised her eyes and looked at the stage.
