Chapter 119 Psychological Suggestion

Seeing that his confidant still didn’t get it, Lin Zhengyang’s gaze held a hint of sarcasm:

“A US-Class Omega, one in a million. Do you think publicizing this news is a blow to Shao Chengxi?”

The confidant said hesitantly, “Isn’t it? He’s also secretly married.”

“Quite the opposite.” Lin Zhengyang leisurely took off his glasses and gently wiped the lenses with a silk handkerchief:

“These are all adding points to Shao Chengxi.”

“A secret marriage is his freedom. Even if it’s made public, it won’t have any substantial impact on him.”

“On the contrary, a married Alpha is more reliable in the public’s eyes.”

“And… an Alpha who possesses a US-Class Omega, do you know what that means?”

He put his glasses back on, the lenses reflecting a cold light:

“It means ‘mandate of heaven.’ The public will spontaneously equate Shao Chengxi with ‘the chosen one.'”

“The Shao family’s fortune will be seen as an unstoppable divine providence.”

“Under this psychological effect, whoever blocks the Shao family is going against the will of heaven.”

The confidant gasped.

“Don’t underestimate this kind of psychological suggestion.” Lin Zhengyang’s voice was very soft, but every word was like a knife.

“How many dynasties in history have been replaced, all using the ‘mandate of heaven’ to build momentum.”

“Now the Shao family is already powerful, and if you add this layer of halo…”

He paused meaningfully, “Do you think we’re creating trouble for the Shao family, or are we giving them an invincible sword?”

The car fell into a brief silence.

The confidant suddenly understood, saying:

“No wonder the Pei family, even in decline, doesn’t make an issue of this.”

“It turns out they know better than anyone that once it’s made public, it won’t hurt Shao Chengxi in the slightest, but instead make his position in the public’s mind even more unshakable.”

Lin Zhengyang sneered, “Pei Yuan is ruthless, but he’s not stupid.”

On this point, Lin Zhengyang still admired Shao Chengxi quite a bit.

Such a favorable trump card, yet he kept holding it in his hand without using it.

He had to say, Shao Chengxi was really good at holding back.

Or was he waiting for a perfect opportunity for a royal flush?

One reason why his Omega’s true identity hadn’t been exposed yet was the Shao family’s attention and protection.

The Shao family’s attitude was clear: anyone who dared to leak this secret would face the Shao family’s relentless punishment.

Even the current president had to fear this consequence.

Moreover, who would do such a thankless thing?

Given the Shao family’s current level of attention, it seemed that Shao Chengxi really liked his Omega.

Well, a one-in-a-million US-Class Omega, a stunning beauty, which Alpha could resist?

Shao Chengxi’s kid was a bit lucky.

The car slowly started, and Lin Zhengyang looked at the scenery flying backward outside the window, and said softly, “Go to Vice President Wu Xun’s residence.”

After seeing Lin Zhengyang off, Shao Chengxi tapped the screen of his phone and brought up the real-time monitoring of the VIP ward at Shao’s Hospital.

In the picture, Shu Lin was sleeping peacefully.

His eyelashes cast a shadow on his pale cheeks, his breathing was shallow, and his lips were almost transparent.

The wide collar of the hospital gown was slightly open, revealing a slender collarbone.

Shao Chengxi’s fingertips unconsciously caressed the screen, as if he could touch Shu Lin’s skin.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, and a pang of sourness rose in his chest.

Clearly, he was his Omega, but now even getting close was a luxury.

The surveillance camera turned slightly, capturing Shu Jingcheng, who was guarding the bedside – the person who could openly touch Shu Lin’s forehead, wipe his sweat, the one Shao Chengxi envied.

Shu Jingcheng was gently wiping Shu Lin’s neck with a towel soaked in warm water.

When his fingertips brushed against the slightly red glands on the back of his son’s neck, his brow furrowed.

Something was wrong.

Ordinary high fevers wouldn’t cause the glands to get hot.

Shu Lin had experienced the symptom of hot glands before.

That was in the early stages of his differentiation into a US-Class Omega. He would get high fevers every now and then, sometimes accompanied by the symptom of hot glands.

Because he couldn’t get pheromone comfort from his Alpha father, this symptom of hot glands appeared.

This was a common pheromone deficiency.

Under normal circumstances, as the glands developed, some would heal on their own, and some would require intervention and treatment.

Shu Lin got better after a period of repeated fevers at that time.

Shu Jingcheng had always thought he had healed on his own.

Now it was happening again, could it be because…

Thinking of this, Shu Jingcheng’s hand hovered in the air, his eyes dark and uncertain.

Even though his son was sensible and didn’t mention it in front of him, deep down, he was still curious, even longing.

Dusk was gradually setting outside the window, and Shu Jingcheng’s fingertips unconsciously clenched the towel.

After two days of observation, Shu Jingcheng discovered that Shu Lin’s glands were constantly hot.

The speculation in his heart became more and more certain.

The root cause of Shu Lin’s fever this time wasn’t exhaustion, but rather a latent hidden pheromone deficiency that was stimulated by it.

From then on, Shu Jingcheng fell into conflict.

When Shu Lingxiao pushed the door open, she saw her father sitting by the bed, staring intently at her younger brother’s neck with a solemn expression.

She tiptoed closer and lowered her voice: “Dad, how is Xiao Lin today?”

Shu Jingcheng shook his head, signaling her to speak outside the ward.

In the corridor, he told Shu Lingxiao about his discoveries over the past two days.

After hearing this, Shu Lingxiao’s pupils contracted sharply.

She was an extremely intelligent person and knew too well what this meant.

“But, Dad, if that person knows about Xiao Lin’s existence, the consequences will be endless.” Shu Lingxiao said anxiously.

Shu Jingcheng bit his lip, “Dad knows, that’s why I can’t make up my mind.”

Father and daughter were silent for a moment.

“No!” Shu Lingxiao suddenly broke the silence, her tone filled with anger:

“That person doesn’t deserve it at all. He cheated during the marriage and even forced you to leave with nothing by using my custody rights.”

“For twenty years, he hasn’t cared about us. Now, on what basis…”

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Through the glass window of the ward, she saw Shu Lin tossing and turning restlessly in his sleep, the glands on the back of his neck flushed an abnormal red.

Shu Jingcheng put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her:

“Dad has the same thoughts as you. I don’t want that person to know about Xiao Lin’s existence, and I don’t want him to disturb our lives.”

Only…

The smell of disinfectant permeated the corridor, and the sound of a nurse pushing a medicine cart passed by in the distance.

Father and daughter fell silent again.
