Chapter 75 If you don't want a divorce, you shouldn't have done this at the scene of catching someone in the act...

Wen Han was startled, and her phone fell onto the bed. The next second, Jing Yu's voice call invitation came in.

"Jing Yu." The moment Wen Han answered the call, she decided it was better not to ask directly. "I just got home."

“Something happened to the Gu family today,” Wen Han said, looking down. “Gu Cheng suddenly attacked Liu Chuanze. After examination, the doctor said he was poisoned with cardiac glycosides.”

"Poisoning?"

He heard Jing Yu chuckle softly: "How strange, who would dare to poison the young master of the Gu family?"

Could it be that I misunderstood Jingyu because of what she said?

Wen Han turned over anxiously. Lin He had said before that mutants would be forcibly taken for surgery as soon as their glands differentiated. How could Jing Yu possibly escape it? It was unrealistic for him to be able to control his pheromones right after differentiation.

Wen Han said in a muffled voice, "I don't know, maybe he took the wrong medicine."

"Gu Zong is going on a business trip out of town tomorrow, why don't you come to my house?"

How did you know Gu Zong would be going on a business trip?

“My older brother will be going too, he told me.”

They chatted for a while, and after hanging up, Wen Han stared blankly at the page for a moment before opening the search page.

Wen Han couldn't fully trust others, not even Jing Yu.

Everyone lies. Haven't we told enough lies?

The entire lily of the valley plant is poisonous, but the fragrance is not.

Wen Han remembered the band-aid on Jing Yu's gland when he came to the classroom that day.

If I remember correctly, when Lin He was being ganged up on, the Alphas suddenly collapsed without warning, only he and the other two Betas were unharmed. On the way back, Jing Yu's glands also had bandages on them.

So, is the key to the toxins the damage to the glands?

Wen Han deleted the chat history again. It was better for him to keep this secret to himself.

Wen Ruo went to the toilet frequently in the middle of the night, and complained in the morning that the soup Wen Han cooked had given him diarrhea.

"Don't frame me." Wen Han took a sip of porridge. "How come other people ate it and were fine?"

Wen Ruo clutched her stomach, and Wen Qingke said, "Do you want to take some diarrhea medicine?"

"Yes, I still need to go help out at the pet store later."

Wen Ruo hurriedly finished her breakfast, but was stopped by Wen Qingke as she was leaving: "You didn't put on the suppression patch. If you're caught, you'll be fined."

Although it was only twenty yuan, it represented a day's worth of groceries for the Wen family.

Wen Han was quite happy; he was finally free from the dizziness and headaches caused by all sorts of pheromones.

He went to the Jing family home happily, but was stopped by the inspector several times on the way. He kept explaining that he was a Beta and that he shouldn't be fined. In the end, he was only let go after he showed his identification.

When Jing Yu saw Wen Han, the first thing he noticed was his somewhat dejected face, and he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Wen Han didn't want to talk about this topic: "What kind of drug was Fei Nai'er injected with? Has it been found out yet?"

“It’s a bit difficult.” Jing Yu took the coat he had taken off and hung it up, while Wen Han poured himself a glass of lemonade.

“At first, everyone thought it was some kind of drug that made muscles grow quickly and strong,” Jing Yu said. “However, the extracted components and the reactions that occurred in the cells were very strange.”

What's strange about it?

"Some were more excited and split faster, while others didn't change at all. It seems that the cat was just a random effect among them."

That would really be like APTX4869, where some people die after eating it, while others can shrink, and Fat Nail is a lucky cat.

Wen Han paused for a moment as she drank water: "That medicine is meant for human use, right? Wouldn't we need to inject it to find out what its effects are?"

Jing Yu said helplessly, "We can't really use living people for experiments, can we?"

“Yes.” Wen Han recalled the requirements for experiments in her biology textbook. “We’ll have to follow the method of controlling variables.”

Looking at Jing Yu's smiling, crescent-shaped eyes, Wen Han also smiled and explained, "If we're doing experiments with people, wouldn't we have to divide them into six groups? We'd have to separate men and women, and ABO as well. How many people would we have to find?"

Jing Yu frowned, his gaze darkening. Wen Han asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

“If it were for human use,” Jing Yu paused for a moment, “if you were to treat your cat as a person, what gender would you think it would be right now?”

"Male? I'm planning to take it to be neutered sometime."

"Doesn't it look like it's differentiated into an Alpha?"

Wen Han then realized what he meant: her strength had become immense, her size had rapidly expanded, and she had become fiercely aggressive...

"Could that drug be something that causes people to differentiate into Alphas?"

“It’s possible,” Jing Yu said, “but I don’t think the success rate is very high.”

Changing gender sounds dangerous. Wen Han shook her head, shocked, and said, "If it's true, they're incredibly audacious."

If this drug were actually developed, it would definitely cause unrest. The worst part is that some people would imitate it, setting a bad precedent.

"Fortunately, everyone only differentiates around middle school age," Wen Han said sarcastically. "If the sex could be determined at the embryonic stage, many people probably wouldn't even be born."

"It must be very serious, if it's true," Wen Han asked. "What would the sentence be?"

"There is a very high probability of life imprisonment or death penalty."

“But Gu Cheng isn’t an adult yet,” Wen Han said irritably. “We can’t wait until he’s an adult, can we?”

"And we don't even know what Gu Zong's attitude is." Even if Gu Cheng really goes to jail, the Gu family's money is enough for him to live a life of comfort for several lifetimes.

"It's too early to talk about these things. We need concrete evidence first. If we expose them rashly, they can argue that it was for other purposes. There's a lot of room for maneuver here."

Anxiety is useless; now we can only wait for the results from the Jing family's lab.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Then Jing Zhao knocked on the door: "Brother, may I come in?"

"Come in."

Jing Zhao was holding a large stack of papers. Wen Han glanced at them and saw that they were all design sketches for necklaces and brooches. She asked in surprise, "Jing Zhao, did you draw all of these?"

"No, it was Wanwan who drew it."

Wen Han: "Haha."

"Which one do you think is better to give to Dad?"

Wen Han examined it closely and said, "It is cute, but it's all lemons."

"Huh?" Jing Zhao quickly glanced at the blueprints and said with an embarrassed smile, "I took the wrong one, I took the wrong one."

She ran out and then ran back: "This time it was the right thing to do."

This time it's even stranger, like a thin banana peel.

“Dad doesn’t like ylang-ylang,” Jing Yu said gently. “Let’s choose another one. Dad will like anything you give him.”

"Why?" Jingzhao asked, confused. "Isn't Dad's pheromone from ylang-ylang?"

Jing Yu just smiled, but Wen Han had a feeling that he wasn't in a good mood.

After Jing Zhao left, Wen Han asked, "Is your father's birthday coming up soon?"

"Hmm." Jing Yu noticed the caution in his voice and smiled, "I haven't prepared a gift either, shall we go together?"

——

If Wen Han had known that he would be caught cheating if he came out, he would never have come, even if it meant death.

Wen Han was a little flustered, as it was her first time in such a place. Jing Zhao kept asking the sales assistants to take out the jewelry from the display case, casually glancing at it; to the untrained eye, it would look like he was buying glass jewelry.

"No, this doesn't match my dad."

Jing Zhao sighed: "Wen Han, which one do you think is better?"

"Me?" Wen Han thought of Jing Yu's father, that gentle and beautiful Omega, who carried an undeniable air of sadness.

"This one."

Wen Han took a fancy to a pearl silver brooch: "The pattern is like flowing water."

"It's very beautiful, let's take this one." Jing Zhao looked up, "Brother, come and see—"

She stopped mid-sentence, and Wen Han looked in the direction of her gaze, puzzled.

Jing Yu was staring out the window, lost in thought. There was only one customer in the shop across the street: an Alpha sitting on the sofa, smiling as he watched the Omega in front of him pick out jewelry.

This Alpha looks a bit like Jing Feng.

Before Wen Han could react, Jing Zhao had already darted out.

Jing Zhao grabbed the Omega by the collar, then froze. Wen Han and Jing Yu knew something was wrong and rushed over.

"Jing Yu," the Alpha said calmly, "pull your sister away and stop her from causing trouble outside."

Wen Han's steps froze instantly, and Jing Zhao couldn't believe his ears: "I'm being ridiculous, Father, who's being ridiculous! It's almost my birthday and you've done something like this!"

Her voice grew shriller as she spoke, and in her agitation, she swept all the jewelry the Omega had been looking at off the counter. Pearls and gemstones shattered on the marble floor, some flying into the air.

This brand wasn't even among the luxury brands Wen Han was familiar with; it must be far more expensive than he imagined. But that wasn't what Wen Han was most concerned about right now. He stared in surprise at the Omega's face. Although it looked much younger, it resembled Jing Yu's father so much!

The tellers, seasoned veterans who had seen it all, simply exchanged a glance with their colleagues, silently lowered the curtain, and counted the items to be compensated.

Jingyu's father said, "Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. Jingyu, what do you think of your sister? Don't you know she's sick?"

He noticed Wen Han standing beside him and frowned, asking, "And who is this person?"

Wen Han was shocked to see that he still had the nerve to blame Jing Yu: "You cheated on me."

The mistress angrily retorted, "Who are you? Do you even know who Mr. Jing is—"

“You’re the other woman.” Wen Han glanced at him, then pointed at Jing Yu’s father. “You actually cheated on me with someone who looks a lot like your wife, and you’re blaming Jing Yu.”

Wen Han's three sentences broke Jing Zhao down again. She cried out, "I'm going to tell Dad!"

Jingyu's father looked on with a headache: "Alright, do you really want me to divorce your father?"

He's cheating on his wife but doesn't want to divorce her. Is he some kind of "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success in society)?

Jing Zhao wiped away her tears: "If you didn't want a divorce, you shouldn't have done this!"

"Alright," Jingyu's father said to the person next to him, "Take Miss away to calm down first."

"I'll tell Dad as soon as I leave!"

"Oh, where do you think your dad can go after we divorce?"

Jing Zhao remained silent. Jing Yu's face was cold, while Wen Han's eyes darted left and right: "You can move in and live with you siblings."

Jing Zhao found a solution and immediately shouted, "Yes!"

Jingyu's father glared sharply at Wen Han.

Wen Han shrank behind Jing Yu. The person who cheated and was in the wrong was still glaring at him. Did he have no sense of justice?

Jing Yu was called away by his father and didn't know what to say. The teller sorted out the losses and handed them to Wen Han.

"For me?" Wen Han said awkwardly, "I'm just his friend, you should give it to the man who cheated on me."

He's a Beta who faints at the sight of huge compensation claims.

Wen Han was packed up and taken back to the Jing family's old house, because if she didn't keep her mouth shut, it would have an impact on the Jing family.

Wen Han clung desperately to the window. If he had known that following along would lead to being caught in the act of adultery, he would never have come.
