    Chapter 76: Not an Ordinary Person

    Sitting by the bed watching Shu Lin for a while, Shao Chengxi got up and went to the bathroom, took a careful shower, and used the pheromone purifier to remove Shu Lin’s pheromone. He then went downstairs to find Chen Mingyuan.

    He knew clearly in his heart that he hadn’t touched any other Omega, let alone slept with one.

    But Shu Lin said he smelled another Omega’s pheromones on him, and described it vividly, saying it was orange-scented.

    This scent couldn’t be washed away, and Shu Lin could still smell it even now.

    Because of this, his little Omega was making a fuss about divorcing him.

    If that were really the case, Shu Lin’s reaction would be perfectly normal.

    If an Alpha really had a sexual relationship with another Omega, at the very least, the Alpha would be able to smell the other party’s pheromone scent on themselves.

    However, Shao Chengxi couldn’t smell any orange-scented pheromones on himself.

    This was very abnormal.

    Either Shu Lin was mistaken, or there was another hidden story.

    In any case, he had to investigate this matter thoroughly, give Shu Lin an explanation, and prove his own innocence.

    He had already sent people to investigate the Omegas who had come into contact with him these days, especially on the day of the banquet.

    After doing a check-up with Chen Mingyuan at Shao’s Hospital, the results showed that Shao Chengxi did not have any orange-scented pheromones on him.

    Handing the test report to Shao Chengxi, Chen Mingyuan said, “He’s mistaken. Sometimes, when a person becomes suspicious, their senses can be deceiving.”

    Shao Chengxi understood what he meant.

    He was saying that Shu Lin being able to smell some orange-scented pheromones was a hallucination.

    The essence of the matter was a lack of trust between the two of them.

    On the way back to the Shao Residence, Shao Chengxi stared at the test report, his brow furrowed in thought.

    Could it really be that Shu Lin was mistaken?

    Then, he shook his head.

    No, Shu Lin was a US-Class Omega. As he said, he was very sensitive to pheromones and wouldn’t make such unreasonable demands.

    The hallucination theory had no basis.

    However, the test results were right there.

    Returning to the Shao Residence, it was already past five in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the villa, the old butler said that Shu Lingxiao had come.

    Why would she come?

    Shu Lingxiao was a very cautious person. Unless she came to the Shao Residence with Shu Lin, she usually wouldn’t come alone for no reason.

    A thought flashed through his mind, and Shao Chengxi knew that her arrival must be related to the pheromones on his body.

    Sure enough, things were far beyond his imagination.

    Shu Lingxiao also had a copy of his pheromone test report in her hand.

    No, to be precise, it was a pheromone identification report issued by a forensic doctor.

    After showing this identification report to Shao Chengxi and Shao Tingrui, Shu Lingxiao calmly said:

    “Xiao Lin said you were having an affair and wanted to divorce you. Originally, I wouldn’t confront you about this matter without sufficient evidence.”

    Speaking of this, she looked at the two of them frankly, “However, I didn’t expect to see such an identification conclusion. This matter is of great importance. After careful consideration, I decided to inform you of the situation and let you decide what to do.”

    Her friend Mu Zi didn’t give a definite identification result.

    Through testing, he pointed out that the pheromones on Shao Chengxi’s clothes presented two possibilities.

    The first possibility was that Shao Chengxi had an affair with another Omega, and whether a sexual relationship occurred needed to be determined further through gland fluid testing.

    The other possibility was that the pheromones on Shao Chengxi’s clothes showed some characteristics of sonic pheromones, perhaps he was attacked by sonic pheromones, which needed to be further tested and verified.

    “Sonic pheromone attack?” Shao Tingrui spoke first, suppressing his anger, “This technology was banned long ago. How dare someone use it on a member of my Shao family?”

    Indeed, sonic pheromone attacks had been listed as a forbidden technique many years ago.

    Because it not only interfered with the pheromone systems of Alphas and Omegas but could also cause pheromone imbalance, and in severe cases, lead to mental breakdown.

    According to this test report, the orange-scented pheromones on Shao Chengxi’s body may not have come from a real Omega.

    Instead, it was created by extracting the pheromones of a high-level Omega and simulating sound waves.

    Ordinary people couldn’t smell these sonic pheromones.

    Hospital equipment was designed for routine patient testing and couldn’t detect sonic pheromones.

    Shao Chengxi clenched his fists, his eyes cold: “So, someone is trying to control me in this way?”

    “That’s right.” Shu Lingxiao nodded, “My friend doesn’t have military equipment and technology there. He can only speculate on this possibility based on existing technology and his own experience. You need to verify it further.”

    This was the most important reason why Shu Lingxiao decided to bring this matter out into the open.

    If it was ultimately verified that a sonic pheromone attack really existed, the nature of the matter would completely change.

    This involved a serious criminal offense.

    Shao Chengxi remembered what Shu Lin said through tears of grievance.

    Shu Lin said that he first smelled the orange-scented pheromones on him the day before yesterday.

    And it was precisely at about ten o’clock the day before yesterday that he suddenly felt unwell and went to the car to find Shu Lin as soon as possible.

    That time, if it hadn’t been for Shu Lin, he would have immediately entered his rut.

    Then there was last night’s celebratory banquet.

    Shao Chengxi recalled the banquet yesterday.

    He did feel something was wrong, but at the time, he thought it was because his rut was approaching and didn’t think too much about it.

    When he returned home, with Shu Lin accompanying him, the discomfort seemed to disappear.

    Now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

    At this moment, Shao Chengxi’s phone rang.

    After answering the phone and saying a few words, he hung up, his face gloomy.

    After investigation, it was confirmed that he had not had any close contact with any Omega last night, and there were no orange-scented Omegas among the people who attended the banquet.

    The truth seemed to be emerging.

    Without delay, Shao Chengxi immediately went to the Medical Department on the third underground floor of the Ministry of Defense.

    There, they had the most advanced military testing equipment in the empire.

    By nine o’clock in the evening, the test results were out.

    The results showed that Shao Chengxi had been attacked by sonic pheromones.

    After receiving the test results, Shao Chengxi asked the testing doctor, “Is it orange-scented sonic pheromones?”

    The doctor said in surprise: “Yes, Minister Shao. But ordinary people can’t smell sonic pheromones through their sense of smell. How do you know it’s orange-scented pheromones?”

    Shao Chengxi did not answer his question.

    It wasn’t that he knew, it was his Omega who smelled it.

    His little Omega was not an ordinary person.

    Returning to the Shao Residence again, Shao Bingheng and Shao Shiyan had already returned from work.

    The four members of the Shao family, plus Shu Lingxiao, gathered in the study, their expressions solemn.

    The other party’s actions were clearly targeted.

    They wanted to control Shao Chengxi invisibly and then completely destroy him at a crucial moment.

    Their hearts were truly vicious.

    Shao Tingrui was a little emotional:

    “Fortunately, Xiao Lin is sensitive to pheromones and discovered the anomaly in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.”

    Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

    Thinking that this matter started because Shu Lin suspected Shao Chengxi of infidelity, and in less than a day, the Shu family had already begun to collect evidence of Shao Chengxi’s cheating, the Shao family couldn’t help but sweat.

    If Shao Chengxi really had done something, even if he was the second young master of the richest family in the empire and the youngest Minister of Defense, Shu Lin would not hesitate to divorce him.

    Don’t look at how young Shu Lin is, with his harmless and well-behaved appearance, he was so unyielding at heart.

    He couldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.

    After the five people discussed the matter, they left separately.

    Shao Chengxi returned to his bedroom and saw Shu Lin, who was still asleep, and felt mixed emotions.
