Chapter 116: Pinning Hopes

After Shao Chengxi came out, he closed the bedroom door tightly, deliberately lowering his voice to ask, “Shiyan, what’s going on?”

Shao Shiyan’s face was grave as he said urgently:

“Second Brother, something happened at the pheromone medical center.”

“At two or three in the morning today, over twenty patients suddenly experienced a collective pheromone imbalance, and the cause is currently unknown.”

“Some have become violent and aggressive towards others, while others are self-harming.”

“Mu Zi tried to intervene with conventional methods, but the effect is not significant, and the situation is getting more serious.”

“If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t be able to control it. Mu Zi said that Shu Lin’s pheromones might be useful…”

Shao Chengxi’s knuckles tightened. “Has the scene been sealed off?”

“Big Brother is gathering manpower, but the strength may not be enough.”

“I will immediately send the special forces from the Ministry of Defense to seal off the scene. Shiyan, you go first. I’ll get dressed and go to the medical center.”

Shao Shiyan glanced at the bedroom door, reminding him, “What about Xiao Lin…”

“He is my Omega, not medicine!” Shao Chengxi glared at him. “One or two want him to save them, what about a hundred? Are you going to drain his glands dry?”

Shao Shiyan didn’t dare to say more. “…Then, Second Brother, hurry.”

Shao Chengxi arrived at the pheromone medical center in the suburbs as quickly as possible, using the time on the road to deploy all the preventive measures he could think of.

Currently, the Ministry of Health is under the control of the Shao family.

After Liao Chen was elected Minister of Health, he promoted Mu Zi to Deputy Minister of Health, specifically leading a team to tackle medical pheromone problems.

Patients with pheromone-related illnesses are concentrated in this medical center.

The most troublesome illness among them is pheromone deficiency syndrome.

This is a historical problem.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Health sent news that there had been a major breakthrough and that they needed Shu Lin to provide some more pheromone samples for further research.

Shao Chengxi had planned to go over sometime after Shu Lin finished his exams.

Walking into the medical center, he immediately heard roars coming from the quarantine area.

Liao Chen and Mu Zi immediately greeted Shao Chengxi and reported to him.

“We’ve used various strong inhibitors and pheromone soothing pumps, but they haven’t worked on these patients.”

“To control the situation, we had to use the newly developed drugs on them.”

“These drugs have some effect. Theoretically, if there is a sufficient amount, they can be controlled.”

“However, too many people are affected this time, and that little amount of medicine is not enough.”

Currently, Alphas are showing violent tendencies, and Omegas are beginning to self-harm.

If they can’t control it, they can only watch these twenty-odd people die in the medical center.

More than twenty people losing their lives due to a pheromone accident is unprecedented in the history of the Empire.

If it really happens, the first to be held accountable is the Minister of Health.

But Liao Chen was promoted by the Shao family, and the Shao family actually controls the Ministry of Health.

Political enemies will never let go of this opportunity to destroy the Shao family.

In the tide of public opinion, the Shao family may be labeled as historical sinners.

If it goes wrong, the century-old Shao family may begin to decline.

The most critical thing is that the cause of the accident cannot be found at all.

Even if the Shao family is wealthier than a country, it’s like a tiger trying to eat the sky – there’s no way to start.

Through the glass, looking at the patients in the isolation room who were banging their heads bloody, Shao Chengxi’s face was tense and his expression grave.

Mu Zi said anxiously, “Minister Shao, forgive my bluntness, but in this situation, the only hope we can pin on is to ask your Omega to come and try.”

Liao Chen added:

“This is what we think. The new drug can work on them, and the new drug is made from Mr. Shu’s excess pheromones.”

“Based on this, the real effect should be Mr. Shu’s pheromones.”

“Mr. Shu is a US-Class Omega, maybe he can create a miracle.”

Mu Zi nodded:

“Yes, he can use his nose to find sonic pheromones that only testing instruments can detect, he can definitely create a miracle, he is one in a million.”

Shao Chengxi stared at the patients inside who were on the verge of death due to self-harm and said in a deep voice:

“I only ask you one question, will Shu Lin be in danger? If he comes, what is the worst impact it will have on him?”

“Tell the truth, if you dare to lie to me in the slightest, I will never let you off lightly!”

Mu Zi and Liao Chen exchanged glances, looked directly at Shao Chengxi, and said firmly:

“Physical exhaustion. Like the previous situation, he will experience symptoms such as coma, fatigue, and sleepiness due to releasing too many pheromones. Apart from that, there shouldn’t be any other effects.”

Shao Shiyan and Shao Yuanheng, who had been following Shao Chengxi, looked at him anxiously, hesitant to speak.

This is a moment of life and death for the Shao family, there is no time to hesitate, they must make a decisive decision.

…

When the quilt was lifted, Shu Lin was still curled up in the remaining warmth, fast asleep.

A palm with thin calluses supported the back of his neck, and warm, soft clothes wrapped his bare shoulders.

“Baby, be good, brother will help you get dressed.”

Shao Chengxi knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, pulled the dazed Omega into his arms, and dressed him.

Shu Lin leaned his forehead against his chest and dozed off until he was carried into the car and mumbled:

“…Brother, don’t always frown like that, I’m willing, I’m here, don’t worry.”

“But let me sleep for a while longer, I’m really sleepy, just a little longer…”

The Alpha wrapped him in his arms, kissed his forehead, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

His little Omega always granted his every request.

When he woke him from his sleep and briefly explained the situation, he agreed without hesitation.

Those who departed from the Shao Residence together with Shu Lin included Shao Bingheng.

Shao Tingrui and Shao Yuqin stood at the door, watching their car leave.

At this time, everyone under the Shao family was ready to go, ready to respond to any possible crisis.

When the nest is overturned, there can be no intact eggs. They all understand.

Only by defending the Shao family can they enjoy this wealth and glory.

And now, they can only pin their hopes on that boy in his early twenties.

Who would have thought that the fate of the century-old Shao family would one day depend on a little Omega.

Entering the pheromone medical center, Shu Lin was completely awake.

He was a little confused when everyone surrounded him.

After taking the energy liquid to replenish his strength, Shao Chengxi held his small head, looked directly into his eyes, and solemnly instructed him:

“Baby, listen carefully to what I say, if you feel uncomfortable during the process of releasing pheromones, stop immediately and come out of the isolation room.”

“Promise me, don’t be brave, protect yourself, promise me.”

Shu Lin looked at him and nodded seriously, “Yes, brother, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Under everyone’s eager gaze, Shu Lin walked into the isolation room.

After that, everyone observed from the outside.

The person standing in the very center was Shao Chengxi, his face was tense, and he stared at his Omega through the glass.

Shu Lin sat on the chair in the center of the room, clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and concentrated on releasing pheromones.

There was a pheromone transmitter in the room, which would transmit Shu Lin’s pheromones to the sealed-off wards to soothe the out-of-control patients inside.

As time passed, Shao Chengxi noticed that Shu Lin’s back was wet with sweat. Due to excessive physical exertion, his legs were trembling slightly.
