Chapter 8 “Mr. He Yuan… he ran away.”

He Yuan stayed in the hospital for three days, unconscious for two days. On the third day, he insisted on leaving despite the doctors and nurses’ objections.

Old Patriarch Fu sent his aide to visit him and expressed his apologies through him. He Yuan didn’t utter a word in response. He calmly dismissed the Fu family’s subordinate and quietly packed his things. During this time, the military police from Fu Sheng’s side came to inform him that Fu Sheng’s current condition was relatively stable.

Due to the inhibitor not being officially put into use and officially released yet and Fu Sheng’s unique condition, the observation period was extended.

The man sitting in the driver’s seat sighed. “Don’t be too extreme. Your brother doesn’t want you to seek revenge because it’s not worth it.”

He Yuan replied, “Ji-ge doesn’t want revenge because he’s kind-hearted. But the culprits won’t appreciate his kindness.” He lifted his gaze and softly said to the driver’s profile reflected in the car window, “Don’t you want revenge as well?”

The driver in the front seat had a stern and cold expression. He tapped the small rubber duck hanging from the rearview mirror and said, “The day after tomorrow, there will be a batch of raw jade material transported from Mao Xiong, following a similar route as before, towards the Antique Street. The Fang family heavily relies on this route for accumulating wealth and refuses to let go even in the midst of a crisis. However, instead of going through Dian Nan, they have switched to Mao Xiong. If we cut off this route as well, the losses will be devastating.”

“Thank you,” He Yuan said.

They arrived at Hua Shang Apartment, and He Yuan bid a simple farewell before getting out of the car.

***

In the isolation room of the hospital, a researching scientist from the Scientific Research Institute, wearing protective clothing, was conducting routine research records.

“Do you have any desire to attack Omega?”

“Yes.”

“How long can you restrain it?”

“One hour.”

“Excellent, General. In front of you, there are two test tubes—one contains pheromones extracted from your current wife, and the other contains pheromones perfectly matched to your Alpha status. We hope to obtain your consent for desensitisation therapy.”

“Reason.”

“Your own willpower has resisted the mutual attraction of AO pheromones. This time, you managed to resist the Omega pheromones with your own willpower. But next time, the time after that… there will come a time when you can no longer resist and have to succumb to your physiological instincts. You have undergone training to resist Omega pheromones, but as you age, the S-class A pheromones will increase to a threshold that you cannot bear.”

The research scientist said, “When your pheromones reach an unbearable threshold, you can either accept relief from an Omega or suffer from pheromonal disorder. Simply injecting Omega pheromones externally is only a temporary solution. So we have two options: one is to proceed with desensitisation therapy to overcome your dependence on your current wife’s pheromones, and the other is to have you undergo early desensitisation therapy for the highly compatible Omega’s pheromones and use a new type of inhibitor, which has a certain chance of avoiding pheromonal disorder.”

Fu Sheng frowned and seized upon a specific key word, “My wife is a Beta, so I can’t develop a dependency on his pheromones.”

The bond between an AB pair is weaker than that of an AO pair because they cannot develop an absolute dependency on each other’s pheromones. They can mark each other temporarily but not permanently, so when an A encounters their destined Omega, the emotional attachment of the AB pair becomes particularly fragile.

The research scientist was quite shocked by his words. “But there is a very weak residual presence of Omega pheromones in your own pheromones. I thought your wife was an Omega with less obvious secondary gender characteristics.”

Fu Sheng denied firmly, “That’s impossible. He Yuan is indeed a Beta, leaning towards a normal Beta.”

The research scientist believed more in the medical examination report. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Then it might be the residual pheromones from your previous wife…”

Fu Sheng chuckled, “I only have one wife.”

The research scientist couldn’t believe it and lowered their head to review the medical examination report. “But your pheromones have detected the presence of two types of pheromones—one that has been lingering for a longer time and is very weak, and another that was recently marked but will soon dissipate. The second one is more similar to the pheromones of a normal Beta.”

Fu Sheng’s face turned pale, and he stared straight at the research scientist. He spoke softly, “Two… types of pheromones?”

The research scientist replied, “That’s right, General Fu. There are indeed two very similar types of pheromones—both in terms of scent and elemental composition. The first one has a residual hint of mint, and the second one is very similar to the fragrance of patchouli¹Patchouli, aromatic flowering plant of the mint family, the leaves of which are a source of essential oil that is used as a fragrance in perfumes, cosmetics, and incense. Patchouli is native to tropical Asia, where it is widely cultivated and has been used for centuries for its essential oil.. It’s quite rare, as biology says that no two leaves in the world are exactly the same, but we can find leaves that are very similar to each other. Mint and patchouli pheromones are ‘leaves’ that can replace each other. However, very few people know that they even have similar elemental compositions… General Fu?”

Even though they had taken inhibitors and were wearing protective suits, the research scientist could still sense the increasing surge of pheromones emanating from Fu Sheng. It was as if he had been stimulated, and his emotions fluctuated intensely, but he didn’t show on his face.

Fu Sheng spoke word by word, “I understand. Please keep the results of the examination confidential for now. By the way, may I ask a question?”

His tone was gentle and unexpectedly calm, as if he had transformed into a sophisticated politician rather than a military officer with an iron fist. The surging pheromones instantly disappeared.

The research scientist nodded and said, “Please go ahead and ask.”

“Will the first type of pheromones make people addicted?”
