An ominous premonition

Zou Yuqing followed Mu Yun to apply for inhibitors and then took a few home. His mother had been doing well recently. She would look at him when he came in, the hollowness in her eyes now tinged with a different emotion, as if welcoming him home. Or perhaps it was because his mood had improved recently, so he was thinking more positively.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed looking at the inhibitor in his hand, he felt complicated. The subtle joy and entanglement intertwined together made him sigh.

This was the first time he got this kind of inhibitor which was sold at a high price. Unlike the previous inferior products with simple packaging and ten pieces in a bag, Shuangming's inhibitor even had a simple and high-end packaging, and each piece was individually packaged.

He was happy to be free of the pain brought on by his susceptible period, but all he enjoyed now was given by Wei Mingjue. He must have felt more disgust than gratitude towards Wei Mingjue. This S-class Alpha who treated him as an Omega was beyond his comprehension, and what happened on this bed last time made him unable to understand himself either.

He seemed to be led away by Wei Mingjue. This was very dangerous, but there was no way. Pheromone suppression was terrible.

Holding the inhibitor, Zou Yuqing fell into a deep sleep in heavy worries.

The welfare inhibitors distributed at the end of June were highly praised yesterday, but the stock was gone the next day. The Alphas in the group who didn’t get the inhibitors sighed repeatedly, so those who got more began to share with colleagues who didn’t get any, and the company atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Fortunately, I took a few home yesterday, otherwise there would be none left today!" Mu Yun smiled as he looked at the group chat.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw a message from Zou Yuqing in the group chat: "Does anyone else need it? I'm still susceptible to it and don't need it for now, I can give it to you first." Shocked, she said, "Qing, you only took three yesterday. Can't you keep them for yourself? I'm sure there will be more at the end of July!"

Zou Yuqing smiled and looked at Mu Yun, "Yes, we will send it out again at the end of this month. I'm not in a hurry. If the susceptible period comes early in August, wouldn't it be very troublesome? It's better to give it to those who are susceptible in August first."

Seeing Zou Yuqing's indifferent expression, Mu Yun sighed helplessly, "It's different. The inhibitor the company released this time only has this effect. The ones released before seemed normal to me. What if the one released at the end of this month is not as effective as last month's? If it's really still in the research and development process, then it's hard to say."

"Yes, but Yu Qing, aren't you a relative of President Wei? You can talk to President Wei about this inhibitor. Wouldn't it be great if we could make it according to this formula in the future?" Hu Fan also agreed with Mu Yun's words, then lowered his voice and winked at Zou Yuqing.

"Oh, I forgot! Qing, why don't you just mention it to President Wei?"

Hu Fan and Mu Yun chatted back and forth, and Zou Yuqing suddenly saw someone contacting him on WeChat. It was someone who hadn't contacted him in a long time. It was Wei Mingjue.

[Wei Ming Jue: If I don't look for you, then you won't look for me?]

It was a very puzzling sentence. Zou Yuqing was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, I have nothing to do with you, why should I contact you?

Just as I was thinking about what to reply, Wei Mingjue sent another message: "How are things at the company lately? What would you like to eat for lunch?"

Is he concerned about him? Zou Yuqing hadn't thought about whether Wei Mingjue had any feelings for him, but every time he thought about it, this person would always give him a wake-up call.

But since he mentioned the company and the inhibitor, he replied, "It's pretty good. They say the inhibitor released at the end of June is very effective. I took one shot and didn't have any major reactions during the susceptible period. If you're developing this, you can follow the instructions from the batch released at the end of June."

When Wei Mingjue saw this message, he thought Zou Yuqing was joking and typed, "Do you think our company treats its employees as guinea pigs? Isn't it just their psychology? After all, the inhibitors we produce are constantly improving, but we also have a dedicated team for research and development."

Zou Yuqing quickly replied: "Huh? But everyone who was susceptible to the virus said so a few days ago. And someone only took two days off after the vaccination and came back here, and they're still fine. There's also someone like that in our department."

The person on the other end spoke seriously. Wei Mingjue's fingers fluttered, but he didn't reply quickly. A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he seemed to realize what was going on with the unease that had been lingering around him lately. He stopped typing and instead made a direct call.

Zou Yuqing didn't expect that Wei Mingjue would call him openly during working hours, but he couldn't refuse to answer the phone. It would be even more embarrassing if Wei Mingjue came over directly later, so he picked up the phone.

"Zou Yuqing, have you taken the inhibitor? If you haven't taken it and don't want to use it, ask Manager Cui to make an announcement in the company group. Alphas who used the batch of inhibitors from the end of June should go home immediately and not come to the company for the next few days. If you don't use it, please return the inhibitors to me. I'll be down now." Wei Mingjue hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

The voice was very serious. Although Zou Yuqing didn't know what happened, he told Manager Cui every word. Manager Cui quickly edited the content and posted it in the work group, and tagged all members.

"Ah? What's going on? Brother Hu, are you going back now?" The employees who saw the message were confused. Mu Yun looked at Hu Fan, but found that Hu Fan was in a strange state at the moment. "Brother Hu?"

As soon as she shouted, she found that Hu Fan suddenly stood up with a painful look on his face.

"No..." Hu Fan looked like he was trying hard to endure something, and sweat quickly slid down his forehead, but he seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.

It's pheromones! Hu Fan is releasing pheromones! The aggressive pheromones of the Alpha suddenly rushed into Zou Yuqing's nose. He opened his eyes wide, "Everyone in the office, get out!" Now he understood why Wei Mingjue had been so serious just now, and there was a hint of nervousness in his tone.

It seems that there is something wrong with this batch of inhibitors.

The office was in chaos within just two minutes, and then other floors also began to become chaotic. The Alphas who had just returned and were said to have passed their susceptible period suddenly burst into an even more turbulent desire than before, and began to release pheromones unconsciously.

"Ah! What's going on... I feel so uncomfortable..." Mu Yun was very close to Hu Fan. She was an Omega and was seriously affected. It seemed that she had inhaled too much Alpha pheromones and was forced into estrus. Her face was flushed and she was crying helplessly.

"Mu Yun! Are you okay? Hold on, I'll go get the inhibitor!" Zou Yuqing was also uncomfortable with the wave of pheromones, but he still guided the people in the office to go out and then pulled Mu Yun to the ventilated area at the elevator entrance, "Wait for me, I'll go to the warehouse to get the inhibitor for you." After saying that, he wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Mu Yun.

"Qing, Qing, I feel so uncomfortable. Can you tag me? I really feel so uncomfortable..."

Turning around, Zou Yuqing saw Mu Yun's tear-stained face, surrounded by the sweet pheromones of an Omega. He was stunned and couldn't bear to watch any longer. The Alpha's protective instinct and sense of morality wouldn't allow him to mark an Omega in such a situation. Moreover, marking was something that could only be done to someone with whom one would spend their life. How could he agree to Mu Yun?

"Mu Yun, hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon."

He gently brushed Mu Yun's hand away, only to be hugged even harder the next second. Veins bulged in his forehead. As an Alpha, being enveloped in such a rich fragrance was a real test, but Zou Yuqing felt nothing but heartache for these Omegas who were so easily affected by Alpha pheromones.

He felt Mu Yun approaching his gland, so he quickly turned his face away, "Don't do this..."

"What are you doing?"

Before he could finish his refusal, the elevator opened and Wei Mingjue stepped out, followed by Xia Fan. At this moment, those sinister eyes stared at them intently, emitting a dark glow.
