Chapter 142: Just Beginning

All the way, Shao Chengxi noticed that the corridor was littered with Alpha military police sprawled haphazardly.

His little Omega walked ahead with his head held high and chest out, the hem of his black suit fluttering with each step, like a flag of victory.

“Baby, did you do all this…?” Shao Chengxi asked in disbelief.

Shu Lin’s practical application of pheromone attack had truly exceeded all expectations.

Shu Lin turned his head and winked at him with a touch of pride, “Yep, I did it all by myself.”

“Who told them to bully people? They deserved it.”

“Brother, am I amazing?”

Shao Chengxi pulled him into his arms and couldn’t help but kiss his cheek, “Amazing, my baby is just too amazing.”

“Hmph, I think I’m pretty amazing too.”

Shu Lin raised his chin, as pleased as an elementary school student who had gotten a perfect score.

Across the surveillance monitors, Hong Zhengyue’s face was ashen as he watched their retreating figures, and he suddenly smashed the display screen.

The shards cut his palm, and blood dripped onto the presidential seal.

He had actually been played by an Omega.

He had been so confident of success.

This operation against the Shao family was a risky move he had been planning for a long time.

By detaining key members of the Shao family, he intended to force them to make three major concessions:

First, the secret of sonic pheromones would be silenced forever.

This included both the sonic pheromone scandal fifteen years ago and the current pheromone incident.

The Shao family and its allies would be forbidden from ever mentioning the matter again and would have to completely destroy all evidence.

In exchange, he would blame the incident on a prepared scapegoat to quell the controversy.

Second, the Shao family’s advance payment of 47 billion Imperial credits would be written off.

This enormous sum of money had always been a sword hanging over his head, which the Shao family could use to put pressure on him at any time.

Once this debt was cancelled, it could no longer be used as a political bargaining chip by the Shao family.

Third, he wanted to use this opportunity to weaken the power of the Ministry of Defense, enhance the status of the military police, and break the military’s monopoly on power.

But now, everything was ruined.

All because of Shu Lin.

That seemingly weak and harmless little Omega had actually stormed into the military police station single-handedly, using his pheromones to suppress a group of Alphas of A-class and above.

The moment Shao Chengxi was taken out by Shu Lin, the game was already lost.

Hong Zhengyue knew the Shao family too well.

They would never continue to support him after being treated like this.

Even worse, the whole nation had witnessed everything in the live broadcast.

If he went back on his word, he would not only completely lose public support but also face impeachment by the parliament.

“Mr. President…” The secretary warily handed over a gauze bandage, “Should we stop them from leaving?”

Hong Zhengyue suddenly looked up, a flash of ferocity in his eyes, which quickly subsided.

He took the gauze and slowly wiped the blood from his hand, “Notify the military police to release them.”

“But…”

“Didn’t you hear me? Release them!” Hong Zhengyue suddenly roared, throwing the bloodstained gauze on the ground, “Do you want me to break my promise in front of the whole nation?”

“Yes.”

The secretary retreated in a panic.

Hong Zhengyue turned to the window, looking at the thick, impenetrable darkness of the night, his fists clenched tightly.

He had miscalculated.

This little Omega named Shu Lin was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

He not only possessed extraordinary pheromone attack abilities but also knew how to manipulate public opinion.

Tonight’s live broadcast, which seemed like a risky gamble by Shu Lin, was actually a checkmate.

Now the whole nation was on the side of this little Omega, and if he forcibly detained them, he would only put himself in an even more passive position.

“Well done, Shao family…” Hong Zhengyue smiled coldly, “Raising such a formidable Omega, a US-class Omega, Shu Lin…”

He stood still, lost in thought.

After a long while, he whispered to himself, “It’s not over yet, the game has just begun.”

Hong Zhengyue knew that from this day on, his struggle with the Shao family would enter a new stage.

And that US-class Omega named Shu Lin would become the variable he needed to be most wary of.

At this moment, on the other side, outside the military police station’s cordon, the live broadcast by Fuzhong Media was still ongoing.

Gold-medal reporter Lin Yi once again raised her wrist to check the time; twenty-eight minutes had passed since Shu Lin entered the military police station.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also restless, with the barrage going wild.

“Why haven’t they come out yet?”

“Could something have happened?”

“If the Presidential Palace dares to play tricks, the whole nation won’t stand for it!”

“It’s terrifying to think about it. Why was there a half-hour agreement? Why did they mention safety issues?”

“Yes, yes, yes, could there be some unspeakable secrets?”

Lin Yi’s palms were sweating slightly, the camera constantly focused on the military police station’s closed gate.

Just as the time was about to reach thirty minutes…

“Click.”

The heavy metal door slowly opened.

Lin Yi’s whole body tensed, and the camera zoomed in instantly.

Millions of viewers in the live broadcast room held their breath.

In the frame, the first to appear was Shao Chengxi’s tall figure.

He was carrying Shu Lin horizontally in his arms, his steps steady, with an inviolable aura of power.

Shu Lin’s eyes were tightly closed, his face as pale as paper, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.

His whole body was weakly curled up in the Alpha’s arms, and the cuffs of his black suit were stained with some blood.

Shao Chengxi’s face was frighteningly gloomy, his pheromones overflowing uncontrollably, as if enveloped in a blizzard of coldness.

The barrage exploded instantly.

“Oh my god! What happened?!”

“What did the people in the military police station do to him?!”

“What’s wrong with him? Is he injured? Is he okay? Call an ambulance quickly…”

“So, there really were safety issues…”

“This US-class Omega really risked his life to save his Alpha!”

“He looks so painful, so pitiful…”

“Everyone, pay attention to Minister Shao’s eyes, so full of love and so scary.”

Lin Yi quickly stepped forward, her voice tight, “Minister Shao, Mr. Shu, he…”

Shao Chengxi looked directly into the camera, his voice low, “Thank you for your concern and support.”

“I’m afraid I can’t engage in in-depth communication with you here.”

“I need to take my Omega Shu Lin to the hospital as soon as possible.”

“After entering the military police station, he was subjected to pheromone attacks by multiple A-class or higher-ranking Alpha guard soldiers, and now I’m afraid…”

Speaking of this, his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with emotion.

Shao Chengxi said no more, striding towards the Ministry of Defense’s command vehicle.

Each step he took was extremely heavy, as if suppressing towering rage.

The moment the car door closed, the last thing viewers in the live broadcast room saw was Shao Chengxi carefully holding Shu Lin close.

And the pity and rage surging in his eyes.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and turned to the camera, “Viewers, as you have seen, Mr. Shu Lin successfully brought Minister Shao out.”

“But clearly, the price paid was enormous.”

“Shu Lin’s meeting with Minister Shao was approved and agreed to by the President.”

“He is a one-in-a-million US-class Omega, as everyone knows.”

“That being the case, why did the A-class or higher-ranking Alpha guard soldiers of the military police collectively launch a pheromone attack on an Omega?”

“What unspeakable secrets are hidden behind this?”

“We will continue to follow up on the subsequent situation, and we will also ask legal professionals to analyze the legal issues involved.”

“Please join us in uncovering the truth…”
