Chapter 141: Lingering Fear

Shu Lin rushed into the detention room, and the scene was different from what he had imagined.

Instead of being greeted by Alpha’s broad, warm embrace, he was met with an icy, oppressive pheromone that nearly froze his soul.

The cold, piercing aura was like a real blade of ice, forcing him back two steps, his back hitting the doorframe.

“Brother…” he called out again, his voice filled with confusion and grievance.

In the dimly lit corner, the tall figure flinched violently at the sound.

The furious pheromones receded like a tide, and Shao Chengxi turned around, the murderous intent surging in his eyes freezing instantly when he saw who it was.

“Baby?” His voice was hoarse.

The next second, Shu Lin was pulled into his arms.

It was that broad embrace he yearned for so much.

Shao Chengxi’s arms locked around him like iron hoops, so tightly that he could barely breathe.

Alpha’s trembling hands cupped his face, his thumbs repeatedly stroking his cheeks, as if to confirm that this wasn’t a hallucination.

“How could you…” Shao Chengxi’s voice choked, “I thought… Baby, I thought they… My heart was breaking, Baby, my baby…”

Only then did Shu Lin notice that Alpha’s eyes were unnaturally red.

The walls of the detention room were covered with terrifying cracks, and twisted, deformed metal was scattered in the corners.

Clearly, this place had just experienced a terrible pheromone storm.

Shu Lin looked puzzled.

What exactly had just happened?

In fact, before Shu Lin entered the door, Shao Chengxi had already captured a familiar trace of pheromones.

The almond-scented pheromone was mixed with the sharp scent of gunpowder.

It was Shu Lin’s scent.

However, his Omega shouldn’t be here.

He could suffer here, enduring all kinds of risks and setbacks from political struggles.

But he would never allow his Omega to be brought here.

At that moment, his blood almost froze.

The bond between him and Shu Lin had long surpassed the connection between ordinary Alphas and Omegas since the last treatment for his pheromone deficiency.

He could sense the slightest changes in Shu Lin’s pheromones.

He could even detect the other’s presence through several heavy metal doors.

Just now, he had clearly felt Shu Lin’s pheromones carrying an aggressive edge.

Why would that be?

Was there an Alpha exerting pheromone pressure on his Omega?

Did Hong Zhengyue dare to touch his Omega?!

Shao Chengxi’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his furious pheromones exploded instantly.

The temperature in the detention room plummeted, and the moisture on the walls condensed into frost.

Standing in the dark corner, his knuckles pressed against the cold metal wall, the joints turning white from excessive force.

His pheromones surged uncontrollably, ravaging like an arctic blizzard, freezing the entire detention room into an ice cellar.

In an instant, he had the thought of eliminating Hong Zhengyue.

He hadn’t wanted to go this far.

The information Wu Xun had handed him when he defected was all the evidence of Hong Zhengyue’s sonic pheromone scandal from fifteen years ago.

This was enough to ruin Hong Zhengyue’s reputation.

With this information, Hong Zhengyue wouldn’t dare to launch a deadly attack on the Shao family.

Of course, Shao Chengxi had also prepared a backup plan.

If Hong Zhengyue dared to mess around, he would go for broke, immediately publicize this information, and then use it as an opportunity to directly launch a military coup and seize power.

But Shao Chengxi had never acted on it.

The military unrest three years ago had just subsided, and the empire couldn’t withstand another war, leading to widespread suffering.

Political infighting was acceptable, but under no circumstances should it be at the cost of a military coup.

This was his bottom line.

Hong Zhengyue should also understand this bottom line.

But now, Hong Zhengyue dared to touch his Omega…

Then he would personally tear apart this bottom line.

Until the door of the detention room was pushed open.

Shu Lin’s figure appeared in the doorway, with a sharp, piercing aura, like a drawn sword, piercing through all his fury.

Shao Chengxi’s pheromones instantly retracted.

He almost trembled as he pulled the person into his arms, his fingertips caressing Shu Lin’s face and neck, confirming that his Omega was safe and sound.

Seeing Shu Lin, the emotion of lingering fear almost overwhelmed him.

Shu Lin looked up at him, his eyes filled with doubt, “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Shao Chengxi couldn’t speak, he just hugged the person tighter.

He almost let the entire empire fall into war again.

Shu Lin felt his lingering fear, didn’t say much, and tiptoed to kiss Shao Chengxi’s cold lips forcefully.

The kiss was so intense that it almost swallowed them both.

Shu Lin was using his unwavering ardor to tell Shao Chengxi that he was here, that he was fine, and not to be afraid.

When they parted, their breaths were ragged.

Shu Lin said urgently, “Brother, there’s no time to explain, let’s get out of here first.”

“Okay…”

Shao Chengxi cupped his face, constantly staring at him.

Afraid that he would disappear if he blinked.

Great, his Omega was fine, and was holding his hand, saying he was going to take him away from this prison.

That’s right, he should leave.

In the future, he would never let his Omega come to this kind of place again.

Shu Lin didn’t know what he was thinking, he just wanted to take his Alpha out within half an hour.

Finding the surveillance camera in the detention room, Shu Lin raised his head, looked directly at the camera, his expression proud, and said loudly:

“Mr. President, I did it.”

“I’m going to take my Alpha out now.”

“The people of the empire are waiting for us in the live broadcast.”

“Please, Mr. President, fulfill your promise.”

He raised his voice to ensure that Hong Zhengyue on the other side of the surveillance could hear every word clearly.

Shao Chengxi also looked at the camera, his eyes carrying an undeniable deterrent force, as if striking Hong Zhengyue directly through the lens.

Then, he turned his head, gazing at Shu Lin’s profile, his expression changed abruptly, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding love.

So, his Omega didn’t need him to launch a military coup to protect him at all.

He himself was the sharpest weapon.

“Brother, I won the bet, let’s go.”

Shu Lin gave Shao Chengxi a sunflower-like, radiant smile, took his hand, intertwined their fingers, and strode out of the detention room.
