Chapter 70: Climbing into Bed

Shu Lingxiao handed Shao Chengxi’s clothes to her forensic friend, Mu Zi, and said, “This matter is very important to me. Help me carefully examine it.”

Mu Zi took the clothes and replied, “A piece of cake. However, you should know that relying solely on the Omega pheromone residue on the clothes cannot be direct evidence of a sexual relationship between an Alpha and an Omega.”

“Pheromones can be transferred to clothing through other means, such as close contact or being in the same room.”

Shu Lingxiao: “I know that it’s not the only exclusive evidence. The most convincing evidence is semen testing, followed by gland secretion testing.”

Mu Zi nodded. “That’s right, semen testing is the most direct, but it’s only effective for a short time, usually within 24 to 48 hours after the event. If you miss that window, you can consider gland secretion testing.”

Shu Lingxiao’s mind stirred, and she asked, “How long is the effective period for gland secretion testing?”

“After an Alpha and Omega engage in sexual relations, the Omega’s pheromones will remain in the Alpha’s glands for three to seven days, the specific time varies from person to person.”

Shu Lingxiao: “If a gland secretion test shows that an Alpha has an Omega’s pheromones in their body, can it be confirmed that the two had a sexual relationship?”

Mu Zi pondered for a moment and said, “With the current technology, the accuracy rate of gland secretion testing can reach 99%.”

“If the test result shows that an Alpha has an Omega’s pheromones, it can almost be confirmed that the two have had a sexual relationship.”

“Currently, this type of Identification conclusion is commonly used as the basis for conviction in sexual assault cases.”

Shu Lingxiao nodded. “I know that.”

Mu Zi shrugged and joked, “However, there is always a 1% chance of uncertainty in science, so we usually say ‘almost certainly’.”

Shu Lingxiao smiled. “I only have these clothes at the moment. Please help me appraise them as soon as possible, at least to keep some preliminary evidence.”

Mu Zi: “No problem, I’ll give you a conclusion this afternoon. I forgot to ask, did you make any headway with the anti-corruption bureau matter?”

Shu Lingxiao laughed it off, “There’s no such thing at all, everyone is just guessing. I have something else to do, I’ll go first, let me know when the result is out.”

Leaving Mu Zi’s office, she began to consider what to do next.

The gland secretion test is only effective for three to seven days. Shu Lin found out about this last night, so there’s still time for the gland secretion test.

However, the gland secretion test requires the Alpha’s cooperation. What can she do to get Shao Chengxi’s gland secretions?

This matter must be handled with care. Before there is a definite conclusion, she needs to obtain the gland secretions without arousing Shao Chengxi’s suspicion.

Thinking of Shu Lin’s mental state this morning, Shu Lingxiao was worried and gave him a call.

Shu Lin told her that he was fine and told her not to worry.

Here, Shu Lin hung up the phone and sighed silently.

It had been a long time since he’d been to the dubbing crew, and the familiar atmosphere made his tense nerves relax a lot.

As soon as Gu Xiao saw him, he rushed up excitedly, hugged him tightly, and yelled, “Bao, you’re finally here! I missed you so much!”

Teased by Gu Xiao, Shu Lin finally smiled. “I miss you too. I’m finally done with my business, so we can have fun again.”

The two of them always had endless things to talk about when they met.

It just so happened that the main voice actor, Teacher Feng, also came to record today, so Shu Lin specifically went over to say hello and thank him in person for his help these days.

These past five days, he had to accompany Shao Chengxi, delaying a lot of work for the dubbing crew.

Later, he came up with a compromise to minimize the impact of his absence on the crew’s progress.

He took advantage of Shao Chengxi’s meeting to record his dubbing segments in the car and send them to Teacher Feng, asking him to listen and give suggestions.

Teacher Feng was also an Omega, very professional and kind. As a senior in the dubbing industry, he usually took good care of Shu Lin and Gu Xiao, these two newcomers.

Lu Shanchuan was lukewarm towards Shu Lin and Gu Xiao, and sometimes even made things difficult for them. Teacher Feng had helped them out of trouble many times.

If they were unsure about anything, Teacher Feng would use his own experience to suggest how they could better portray their roles.

In the crew, Shu Lin and Gu Xiao liked Teacher Feng the most and got along well with him.

After discussing with Teacher Feng about delaying the work of the dubbing crew, Shu Lin came up with this solution.

After sincerely thanking Teacher Feng, Shu Lin also went to Lu Shanchuan to apologize for taking so many days off.

Uncharacteristically, Lu Shanchuan didn’t give him a hard time this time.

After he finished his apology, Lu Shanchuan didn’t say an extra word and readily accepted his apology.

As he was about to leave the office, he even instructed Shu Lin to record well later and strive to get it done in one take.

Back in the lounge, Gu Xiao was waiting for him. Seeing his relaxed expression, he asked with a smile, “Bao, Director Lu didn’t make things difficult for you?”

Shu Lin shook his head, “Surprisingly, no, he was especially kind.”

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “Wow, the sun must be rising in the west! You don’t know, in the five days you’ve been gone, Director Lu has been frowning every day, like someone owes him money. He has a good face today, looks like you’re in luck!”

Shu Lin smiled, “Anyway, I feel pretty good after coming to the crew.”

Gu Xiao smiled and nodded, “Okay, okay, Bao is back, we can add chicken legs again.”

The two smiled at each other, Shu Lin’s eyes curved, “I’ll give you two extra chicken legs today.”

When he and Shao Chengxi divorced, he would give Gu Xiao two extra chicken legs for every meal.

Originally, he bought gifts for both Gu Xiao and Teacher Feng last night.

Now that he and Shao Chengxi were like this, it was not good to use the Shao family’s money to buy gifts for others.

When he had time, he would buy each of them another gift.

The two waited in the lounge to record, talked for a while, and started playing with their phones.

As soon as Shu Lin opened the browser, a news item about Shao Chengxi popped up.

“Yo, Bao, why are you starting to pay attention to political news? You never had any interest in this before.” Gu Xiao suddenly leaned over and teased.

Shu Lin’s eyes flashed, and he put away his phone. “I just clicked it randomly, and, and it popped up.”

Gu Xiao was deeply moved, and curled his lips: “Mainly because Shao Chengxi’s, the second son’s, attention has been too high recently. He’s really young and promising. As soon as you open your phone, it’s all his news. Hey, how old does the internet say he is this year?”

Shu Lin blurted out, “Almost twenty-eight.”

He knew that Shao Chengxi’s birthday was in a little over ten days.

Gu Xiao clicked his tongue: “To be under twenty-eight years old and be the Vice Minister of Defense, such heights, we ordinary people can only sigh. It seems that reincarnation is a technical job.”

“No wonder they all say that the starting point between people isn’t about competing after birth, but about competing for amniotic fluid, saying that from amniotic fluid onwards, the distance between people is widened.”

Shu Lin was amused by him, and pushed him, “I really don’t know what’s on your mind all day, you always come up with these weird things.”

Gu Xiao smiled triumphantly, “Don’t worry about whether the words are strange or not, just tell me if I’m right or not?”

Shu Lin smiled without saying a word.

Afterwards, Gu Xiao sighed again, “Seriously, this S-Class Alpha is so damn handsome, look at that tall height and good figure, I don’t know how many Omegas are rushing to climb into his bed.”

Hearing this, Shu Lin’s face immediately turned ugly.
