“Uncle Lin, I want to remove the mark,” Zhou Siyu explained. “Before finding Yu Wei, I need to make sure I survive.”

It would be too frustrating to die before even starting the mission, or to perish halfway through the search for someone.

“The mark of a high-ranking Alpha is very difficult to remove. Even if the mark is removed, the special connection between you and Xiao Wei will not be severed.” Lin Ling pinched the bridge of her nose. “I will find other ways to help you suppress your pheromones…”

“This is too much trouble.” Zhou Siyu shook his head. “Since removing the mark won’t affect our connection, let’s just remove it.”

"Come to the lab in three days." Lin Ling lowered her eyes. "The hospital isn't safe."

Zhou Siyu nodded. There had been several news reports of hospitals using the guise of "mark removal" to remove patients' glands. The Interstellar Police Department had not yet found out where the removed glands went, and could only shut down the hospitals involved and sentence the people involved.

Illegally removing and selling glands is a very serious crime, and the main responsible persons and key personnel of several hospitals have been sentenced to death.

“Removing the mark is very painful, and it can’t be done under anesthesia.” Lin Ling wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhou Siyu’s determined expression, she sighed and said, “I respect your decision.”

“I still want to go to the Secret Realm once.” Zhou Siyu pursed her lips. “Uncle Lin, I want to know what kind of person my father really is.”

His father left when he was very young. He didn't understand what was going on between the adults. All he knew was that his uncle suddenly became his father, while his biological father, Zhou Qi, became someone who couldn't be mentioned.

Later, when he got older, the other children around him would scold his father for being shameless, while the adults would say that he had eloped with his aunt's husband and died on the way.

“I remember you asked this question before.” Lin Ling smiled and shook her head gently. “Your father, Zhou Qi, is a genius and an extraordinary person.”

"The war reached a stalemate towards the end, and the Etolan Empire retreated to the laboratory and unsealed the mutated creatures inside."

"Your father was only fourteen years old at the time, but he was already an important general in the Alliance army and the first person to dare to attack the Etolan Laboratory."

As a young man, Zhou Yu stood out in the army with his outstanding combat skills and was known as the Alliance Twin Stars with Yu Zhen. The two were the most tacit partners.

After the war, Zhou Yu left the army and traveled around, while Yu Zhen remained in the army, continuing to fight in the east and west and quell rebellions.

Several years later, with the support of the Lin family, Lin Ling established the Oran Laboratory. Zhou Yu and Vince took the initiative to join the laboratory and made great contributions to deciphering the mutated creatures of the Etolan Laboratory. The group also became good friends.

"He was one of the first people to enter the Secret Realm after the war, but more than 20 years had passed since the Etolan Laboratory was destroyed, and the situation inside had long since changed."

Bluebell and privet grass were already scarce, and with research stalled, they had long since become extinct on Planet Twenty-Seven. The last privet grass was broken down into hundreds of parts and placed in a cold storage, the bluebell tree was dismembered for poison research, and the bluebell flower was permanently sealed in a cold storage.

Despite numerous efforts by researchers, they have been unable to distinguish the queen of flowers from hundreds and thousands of others, and orchid poisoning remains an incurable disease.

After the destruction of the Etolan laboratory, large quantities of bluebell poison were released into the public domain, resulting in numerous deaths.

After the alliance was established, Yu Zhen, Vince and Zhou Yu were sent to lead a team into the ruins of the Aitolan Laboratory in order to retrieve the orchid flowers in the cold storage to develop an antidote. Unfortunately, time had passed and the group was trapped inside.

Upon receiving the news, Lin Ling decisively removed the seven-month-old fetus and placed it in a culture jar. She then led her team into the secret realm. Using their knowledge of the laboratory, they located and successfully rescued several people, and also retrieved some orchids and *Lianmu* grass. However, Yu Zhen's glands were damaged beyond repair.

Zhou Yu and Vince felt very guilty about this. They not only treated Yu Wei as their own son, but later the two families also agreed that if the two children grew up and differentiated into the same gender, they would let them join the army together to continue the legend of the Alliance's twin stars; if one was an Alpha and the other was an Omega, they would let the two marry to continue the bloodline of both families.

Zhou Siyu was astonished. It turned out that he and Yu Wei had this connection and almost became childhood sweethearts.

"Logically, the fathers should have a very good relationship, so why is it like this..."

Zhou Siyu frowned slightly. His impression of Zhou Yu and Vince came from a photograph. However, he had been wearing a talisman since he could remember. Lin Ling had explained that the talisman was made by Zhou Yu and Vince together.

“I don’t know much about what happened after that.” Lin Ling rubbed his temples. “When Xiao Wei was three years old, we moved away from the first star sector and settled in the second star sector.”

A few years later, Zhou Yu's affair with her brother-in-law caused a huge uproar, and everyone was watching this farce in the wealthy family.

Lin Ling naturally didn't believe any of this. Zhou Yu and Vince's relationship had always been very good. Besides, Zhou Siyu was already three years old at that time. How could Zhou Yu possibly betray Vince? However, before he could investigate further, Zhou Yu had an accident while traveling, and Zhou Yu's younger brother Zhou Qi's husband also died, completely confirming the rumors of infidelity.

Vince didn't believe it either, but in order to protect Zhou Yu's property in the Zhou family, he was forced to marry Zhou Qi so that Zhou Siyu could continue to live in the Zhou family.

"Uncle Lin, did you find Zhou Yu's father's body back then?" Zhou Siyu looked at Lin Ling with bright eyes. "If not, Dad might not be dead."

“No.” Lin Ling shook her head. “Although all the evidence shows that Zhou Yu and Zhou Qi’s husband got on the bus together, there was no body of Zhou Yu at the scene.”
