Chapter 133: The New Core

Shu Lin tightly hugged Shao Chengxi’s waist, his fingertips digging into the Alpha’s muscles.

His voice trembled, but he didn’t cry, “Husband, what exactly is going on? Why are they arresting you?”

Shao Chengxi cupped his face, his thumb brushed across his reddened eyes, his expression solemn:

“Hong Zhenyue wants to use violence against the Shao family to cover up his crimes.”

“Don’t be afraid, baby. You’re safe now. They won’t touch you.”

“What you need to do next is protect yourself, wait until dawn, and go back to your father and your sister.”

“They will protect you.”

Shu Lin shook his head, grabbing his hand, “But, husband, what about you? And Father and Grandpa? I can’t leave you guys to fend for yourselves.”

“You don’t need to worry about us.” Shao Chengxi suddenly kissed him, the kiss fierce and urgent, carrying the chilling coldness of ice-snow pheromones, “What did I tell you before? Do you remember? Trust me, I’ll be fine, be good, listen to me.”

Shu Lin bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes, obediently nodding, “Okay, I’ll listen.”

Hearing Shu Lin’s agreement, Shao Chengxi finally felt relieved.

He got off the bed, wrapped Shu Lin’s naked body in a bathrobe, and started getting dressed.

As he dressed, he gave Shu Lin instructions on what to pay attention to next.

All of them were about his safety.

Shu Lin listened attentively, and unobtrusively put on his own clothes.

Ten minutes later, Shao Chengxi straightened his military uniform collar, turned around and pulled Shu Lin, who was standing beside him, into his arms.

Moonlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, casting a faint light on the Omega’s pale face.

“Don’t come out.” He commanded in a hoarse voice, raised his hand to caress the Omega’s cheek, turned and resolutely opened the door, then closed it again.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The moment the bedroom door closed, Shu Lin’s heart felt as if it had been ripped out, tears gushing out, but he clenched his teeth tightly, not allowing himself to make a sound.

In the courtyard of the main residence, Shao Tingrui and Shao Bingheng had already been escorted onto armored vehicles.

When Shao Chengxi got into the car, he saw other members of the Shao Residence gathered at the door, their faces filled with anxiety.

Shao Chengxi exchanged a glance with Shao Shiyan in the crowd, and then the car door was closed.

As the engine roared away, the Shao Residence fell into an eerie silence.

A moment later, sounds of panic rose.

Until Shao Yuqin appeared.

“What’s all the panic about!” Her voice was very penetrating.

Soon everyone quieted down.

She slowly walked through the crowd, everyone’s eyes following her.

Finally, Shao Yuqin stood in front of Shao Shiyan, her eyes firm:

“Shiyan, you are now the head of the Shao family. Stand up and take charge of the overall situation.”

As she spoke, she looked at Shao Yuanheng beside her, “Yuanheng, you are the eldest brother, show some responsibility at this critical moment.”

“Yes, Grand-aunt.”

“Yes, Grand-aunt.”

The two raised their heads and responded at the same time.

Shu Lingxiao and Shu Jingcheng arrived at the Shao Residence after receiving a call from Shu Lin.

By the time they arrived, the sky had already begun to lighten.

Seeing Shu Lingxiao, Shao Shiyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times.

He was leading the family through a crisis for the first time, and he had no confidence at all, his palms were covered in cold sweat.

But when he met Shu Lingxiao’s piercing gaze, the panic in his heart strangely subsided.

Encouraged by Shu Lingxiao’s gaze, Shao Shiyan quickly controlled the chaotic situation.

The Shao family members acted separately according to his instructions.

In short, at this time, they had to use all the connections the Shao family could mobilize.

At all costs, they had to rescue the three.

When the crowd dispersed and everyone was in position, Shu Lingxiao gently pulled Shu Lin aside:

“You and Dad go back to the Shu family first. I’m here, you just take care of Dad.”

Shu Jingcheng came over to protect his son, “Xiao Lin, let’s go with Dad.”

“I’m not leaving!” Shu Lin’s eyes were firm, “I am now a member of the Shao family, I am the Omega of the Shao family’s Second Young Master. I can’t just hide when my Alpha is in trouble. Sister, I won’t run, I want to face this with the Shao family.”

Shu Jingcheng was about to say something when Shao Yuqin patted Shu Lin’s shoulder, “Xiao Lin is right.”

She looked at the Omega’s stubborn face with satisfaction, “The people of the Shao family should have such courage.”

Shu Lingxiao exchanged glances with Shu Lin for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said nothing more.

Even the most beloved people have to grow up.

Since the storm has come, let him grow in the face of it.

If he chooses to escape at this time, the Shao family will look down on him in the future.

Soon, with Shao Yuqin in command, a new core team of the Shao family was formed.

With Shao Shiyan as the leader, and Shao Yuanheng, Shu Lingxiao, and Shu Lin as assistants.

The one actually acting as the backbone was Shu Lingxiao, but this was, after all, the Shao family’s business, and the Shao family had to come forward to negotiate.

Furthermore, Shu Lin and Shao Chengxi’s marriage was not public, so Shu Lingxiao was even less able to act in the name of the Shao family.

Because the situation was still unclear, Shao Shiyan had prepared sufficient bail money as usual.

The family’s team of lawyers was also on standby, ready to apply for bail for the three of them according to procedure as soon as business hours began.

Although the hope was slim, they still had to try.

Shu Lingxiao said, “Through this trial, we can obtain a lot of useful information.”

While applying for bail, Shao Yuanheng also began to contact Wu Xun, an ally of the Shao family.

In addition to Wu Xun, Lin Zhengyang also took active action and joined the rescue operation.

Their weaknesses were all in the hands of the Shao family. If these three of the Shao family were finished, they would have to be buried with them.

Besides, Hong Zhenyue would not let them go either.

All day long, Shu Lin waited anxiously.

The day was as long as a century.

It was after ten o’clock in the evening when Shao Shiyan and the others returned to the Shao Residence one after another.

The core members gathered together, reporting on their respective progress.

Shu Lin just listened quietly.

“The bail application was rejected in court.” Shao Shiyan slammed the documents on the table, “The judge didn’t even look at the materials, he just rejected it.”

Shu Lingxiao’s face was gloomy.

She had even worse news.

Last night, Hong Zhenyue not only raided the Shao Residence and arrested the three members of the Shao family, but also sent the military police to seal off the Pheromone Medical Center.

“Those twenty-odd patients have been placed under isolated control.” Shu Lingxiao’s voice was heavy, “I’m most worried that Hong Zhenyue will repeat his old trick.”

Shu Lin suddenly stood up, “He, what is he going to do?!”

“Continue his original plan.” Shu Lingxiao’s eyes showed disgust.

Shu Lin looked horrified:

“Sister, do you mean… he, he wants to use sonic pheromones to make these patients lose control of their pheromones again, and then announce to the outside world…”

He couldn’t go on.

But everyone present knew what he meant.

Then, Hong Zhenyue would announce to the outside world that the Ministry of Health had not controlled the pheromone imbalance event at all, and that these patients had already died.

In this way, he would have pushed the Shao family back into the spotlight according to the original plan.

This way, the Shao family would not have the energy to deal with him in the short term.

Shao Yuqin was so angry that her face turned livid, her nails digging hard into her palms:

“What a vicious and despicable method. How does such a person deserve to be the president of a country.”

After hearing this, Shu Lin’s chest heaved violently.
