When Lu Zhizhao's communication request was transmitted to Lu Taipan's personal terminal through the internal channel, the owner of the snake cave was in a very bad mood.
Of course, on the surface, Lu Taipan's expression and behavior were normal.
Only he himself knew that his emotions were fluctuating, which was rare in many years.
He is in a bad mood.
What he couldn't understand the most was that this bad mood only came from a vague dream.
Yes, a dream.
Lu Taipan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had a dream. Due to the disorder of pheromones and the turmoil of his mental power, he hadn't had a real sleep for a long time.
But after coming back from Su Liang yesterday, he fell asleep for the first time in a long time.
Then he had a dream.
It was definitely a complete nightmare, which almost materialized all the hidden worries in his subconscious mind.
He dreamed that his body was overwhelmed, the medicine was ineffective, and he was extremely exhausted and dying.
He also dreamed of Su Liang.
Su Liang died, just as he had worried.
The dream was chaotic, so Lu Taipan could only vaguely remember that it seemed that a coward and madman killed Su Liang.
He couldn't remember the murderer's face at all, but after waking up, he still remembered how thin Su Liang looked when he was trapped in the preservative in his dream.
That is completely different from the real Su Liang.
His face was grey and deathly pale.
The corpse was thin and shriveled, and when held in his arms, it felt as light as a handful of dried rose branches.
[So pitiful.] 】
Lu Taipan could even clearly remember such emotions surging in his heart in his dream.
It was faint, with a hint of bitter pity.
Lu Taipan believed that the upcoming susceptible period must have affected his ability to control his emotions. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why a simple dream could so seriously interfere with his mood during his waking hours.
Well, maybe there is another possibility. He was indeed worried about Su Liang's future safety. Even though it was a dream, that dream was definitely impossible to realize.
Lu Taipan's fingertips tapped the table regularly as he fell into deep thought.
He was very sure that if Su Liang had not entered the snake cave, it would mean that the innocent and simple boy would not be protected by him. Coupled with his infatuation and trust in Lu Zhizhao, he is likely to make a very stupid choice.
Many people can hurt Su Liang.
Similarly, many people could easily kill him without even any reason or means.
…
Thinking of this, Lu Taipan suddenly felt a strange desire rising in his heart. That desire was so strong that it even burned his nerves like magma: people like Su Liang should be imprisoned by his side forever, and he should watch over and protect them personally.
Certain images, very blurry and very obscure, flashed through the strong Alpha's mind so quickly that even he himself was not really aware of what he was thinking.
The ankles were chained.
A frail figure completely trapped in a secret room.
It is absolute protection...and control.
With a "click", the pen in hand broke with a crisp sound.
Lu Taipan suddenly came back to his senses and then frowned. Lu Taipan quickly suppressed those overly dark thoughts in his heart, and he calmed down, just like he always did.
The higher the level of the Alpha, the stronger the primitive instincts remaining in the body. Lu Taipan was not surprised that some extremely evil desires occasionally emerged in his soul. He could always suppress this Alpha's natural bad habits, but these days, his susceptible period made him slightly out of control. You have to know that before this, Lu Taipan had never had such morbid thoughts about any specific individual.
It is still necessary to solve the problems during the susceptible period as early as possible.
Lu Taipan increased the injection dose of the inhibitor once again, and then he thought calmly.
Lu Taipan, who was already unhappy enough, was soon made even more unhappy by an insignificant report mixed in with the intelligence.
As the current young master of the Lu family, Lu Zhizhao has always been the subject of observation of the "Snake Cave".
Lu Taipan casually flipped through the report and his eyes stopped on the pheromone addiction attack that Ning Jiayi had suffered last night.
[The target released a small amount of pheromones to Ning Jiayi, successfully triggering Ning Jiayi's pheromone addiction last night...]
[Considering the fact that Ning Jiayi is in poor health, the Ning family has made a special treatment request to the Lu family. The target has agreed to provide Ning Jiayi with his own Alpha pheromones in a continuous, long-term, and stable manner in the next period of time to soothe the pheromone dependence symptoms...]
[At present, the top leaders of Ning and Lu generally regard the mutual medical assistance between the target person and Ning Jiayi as a sign of further advancement of their relationship. Lu Zhengen has not yet completely relaxed the house arrest measures on the target, but he has agreed to restore a small amount of the other party's authority...]
Lu Taipan scanned the report at a glance, his expression becoming increasingly cold.
There is no doubt that Lu Zhizhao is using Ning Jiayi's pheromone addiction to remove the restrictions on himself. His behavior almost acquiesced to the fact that he would become a partner with Ning Jiayi, but not long ago, he was still flirting with Su Liang, as if they had already fallen in love...
It was at this time that the housekeeper suddenly reported to Lu Taipan that Lu Zhizhao wanted to contact Su Liang.
The "Snake Cave" has an extremely high level of confidentiality. All communications with people inside the "Snake Cave" require an application to be submitted and approved before they can be executed. However, as the current young master of the Lu family, Lu Zhizhao's authority was enough to allow him to contact Su Liang without having to apply for an application. However, Su Liang is no longer an ordinary "Snake Cave" service staff. He lived in "Miyuan", which was the inner courtyard of the inner courtyard. The extremely special significance of the small villa instantly raised Lu Zhizhao's application level to the level that required Lu Taipan's personal approval before it could be executed.
Lu Taipan looked at Lu Zhizhao's communication. He even found it difficult to understand Lu Zhizhao's behavior: on the one hand, the other party had almost substantially stated his marriage with the Ning family, but on the other hand, he was still trying to contact Su Liang in the "Snake Cave"?
Is this an attempt to clarify the situation, or... is it an attempt to continue deceiving that stupid Beta?
Lu Taipan's eyes gradually became colder.
The housekeeper observed Lu Taipan unnoticeably.
Almost all physiological data showed Lu Taipan's disgust towards the individual named Lu Zhizhao. The housekeeper had never seen Lu Taipan treat anyone with such strong malice.
This was totally beyond its expectations.
Yes, Lu Zhizhao was indeed a rare and precious S-class Alpha, and he was indeed the nominal young master of the Lu family, but such a person was actually nothing to Lu Taipan.
Lu Zhizhao didn't even have the qualifications to make Lu Taipan hate him - until he appeared in the intelligence related to Su Liang.
"From my personal point of view, I think maybe we can just reject this application. Well, in fact, I think when Lu Zhengen reopened Young Master Lu's basic authority, he certainly didn't expect that the first thing his beloved son would think of was to contact the Snake Cave without telling him."
The butler happily guessed Lu Taipan's thoughts, and then said.
"No."
But Lu Taipan gave a response that was unexpected to artificial intelligence.
"Go and ask Su Liang what he means."
Lu Taipanjing did not notice that his overflowing mental power, along with his orders, was gradually tainted with a cold and terrifying aura.
"Of course, if Su Liang chooses to connect, then after he finishes talking to Lu Zhizhao, he will submit Lu Zhizhao's life report during this period to Su Liang."
A few seconds later, Lu Taipan added expressionlessly.
Butler: "Um... OK."
"He is now from the Snake Cave, and I don't want someone from the Snake Cave to be deceived.
Lu Taipan spoke after the housekeeper groaned meaningfully, and it almost sounded like an excuse.
Even Lu Taipan himself had no idea where the slight hint of embarrassment in his tone came from.
The butler's electronic eyes flashed rapidly.
"I really do understand."
It spoke to Lu Taipan enthusiastically.
A few minutes later, the happy artificial intelligence informed Lu Taipan of the progress of the matter in an exceptionally brisk tone: "Master Su Liang has chosen to refuse the dialogue!"
Lu Taipan paused.
The housekeeper added: "Master Su Liang also asked me to tell him something: he hopes Lu Zhizhao will not contact him again in the future."
"Yeah... that's good."
Lu Taipan was silent for a moment, then he nodded reservedly: "He is finally smarter."
The Lord of the Snake Cave then brought a message to Lu Zhizhao like a kind and amiable elder.
"Tell him that since he thinks he can become the next head of the family, he should now train his mental strength instead of thinking about establishing an improper emotional relationship with others every day."
"The message has been recorded."
"By the way, send the confessions and background checks of the two guys we arrested earlier to Lu Zhizhao - he should learn to take care of himself, and also his fiancée."
"Tell me not to cause trouble to Xiaoliang?! I don't understand... Is this what my uncle meant?"
In the Lu family mansion, Lu Zhizhao stood up suddenly and looked at the butler on the holographic screen with a somewhat ferocious expression.
"I don't believe it. When did my uncle start to care about the emotional affairs of his juniors?!"
I finally got the chance to contact Su Liang, but the person I was obsessed with refused to even answer the call.
Whenever he thought of this, Lu Zhizhao felt suffocated and anxious.
God knows how he patiently bargained with his father to open the communication permission. He reviewed the apology words in his mind over and over again, just to be able to perform well when meeting Xiaoliang.
However, all of this was shattered by the cold rejection of the application by the "Snake Cave".
"Regarding the specific details of the application rejection, I have sent all the documents to your personal terminal. Please be sure to check them."
"My father?" The next second, Lu Zhizhao suddenly had an idea in his mind. He trembled and looked at the housekeeper with despair in his eyes. "Did my father say something so that even my uncle stood on his side?!"
"Please be sure to check the files on your personal terminal."
"You don't want me to have any contact with Su Liang anymore because you need me to be with Aning. Haha, this is ridiculous, I thought my uncle really didn't care about anything, but he is actually still interfering in the Lu family's affairs! Just for the Lu family to get the help of the Ning family, so, I, Lu Zhizhao, have become your breeding machine! It sounds nice, hahaha, you say that I am the young master of the Lu family, but here, I am just a stud used for breeding-"
At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly interrupted Lu Zhizhao's painful abuse. He looked at the human in front of him innocently and asked in an extremely kind voice:
"I'm sorry, Master Lu, I can't understand the overly complicated human language. May I ask if you want to inquire about the latest stallion prices?"
"Shut up--"
"Okay, the Central Star Region will hold an auction of purebred natural horse reproductive cells without genetic modification in two days. The starting price for each tube is..."
The butler smiled in an extremely wooden manner and began to report as if it was the lowest quality, lowest level system.
"I told you to shut up! Shut up—"
Lu Zhizhao couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the expensive handicraft on the desk and smashed it hard at the screen.
With a crisp cracking sound, the holographic projection transmitter turned into broken pieces.
The butler also disappeared into the air in an instant.
…
There was a brief silence in the room.
After that, vague, angry whispers gradually began to sound.
"These bastards."
Lu Zhizhao held his head and gasped for a long time before he regained his composure, or rather, regained what he thought was his "calmness".
"Application rejected. Haha, I want to know what reason you use to reject my application. Xiaoliang will never refuse my communication. He will never treat me like that..."
Muttering to himself, Lu Zhizhao finally opened the electronic file on his personal terminal with red eyes.
At first, his face was full of anger, but soon, his expression gradually turned into shock and disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
He frowned and flipped through the investigation statement of the "Snake Cave" back and forth.
He kept reading the same conclusion over and over again, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
"How could...how could this be possible?"
In order to consolidate the marriage between Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao, Su Liang was attacked.
The attackers were from the Ning family, and another member of the Lu family's branch was also an accomplice bribed by the Ning family.
The more he looked down, the uglier Lu Zhizhao's expression became.
A few days later——
"Young Master Lu."
Someone knocked on the door.
The Lu family's private guard, who was wearing a black suit, did not wait for any response from the man inside the door, but the other party had been like this these days, so there was no extra expression on the private guard's face.
The tall and strong private guard knocked on the door three times as required, then entered the password to unlock the layers of restrictions, pushed open the door and walked into the room.
The young master's residence, which should have been luxurious and comfortable, is now unusually dark and claustrophobic.
The air was thick with the smell of cigarette smoke.
The light was dim, and even the private guard could not accurately locate Lu Zhizhao's figure in the messy and spacious room.
"Young Master Lu——"
"What's up?"
Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared silently behind the private guard.
The private guard turned around and saw Lu Zhizhao.
"Ah, young master." The private guard was startled and paused before he could finish the rest of his words. "The time is up. According to the agreement, you should go to the hospital today to give Young Master Ning pheromone comfort."
“…”
After hearing the private guard's words, Lu Zhizhao did not respond immediately.
He just stared at the other person quietly, which made the man feel a chill down his spine.
To be honest, the private guard always feels that the eldest young master of the Lu family is sometimes quite creepy.
For example, right now, the way he looks at people is really a bit creepy.
"Master Lu, you and Master Ning have been friends since childhood, so you should care about him a lot. In fact, Master Ning had an attack a few days ago. When we came to see you, you said you were not feeling well, so we didn't force you. But this time, Master Ning really had a severe attack, and we had an agreement at the beginning that you would help my Master with his treatment..."
The private guard said dryly to the young man in front of him. He secretly groaned in his heart, and he didn't know what problem had happened to the Young Master Lu in front of him - could it be that the legendary personality problems of the Young Master of the Lu family have not been eliminated yet?
Otherwise, why would he look so gloomy when he mentioned Young Master Ning, as if he had some big grudge?
But come to think of it, these two people have already reached the point where they release pheromones to each other, and they are just short of having sex, so it's impossible to say that they have a bad relationship, right?
Just when the private guard was about to suspect that Lu Zhizhao had lost control again, Lu Zhizhao blinked and suddenly gave him a strange smile.
"Oh, I see. Then I must go see him."
Lu Zhizhao said.
Then he raised his hand and let the private guard put a locator on him. Then, he went to the hospital under the supervision of everyone.
When he rushed to the Lu family's private hospital, Ning Jiayi was sobbing in the ward because of the attack of pheromone addiction.
"I feel so bad. Where's A Zhao? Why hasn't Brother Zhao come yet..."
At this moment, the ward was filled with the painful whispers of young, undifferentiated Omegas.
The frail boy's face flushed red, with beads of cold sweat already oozing out of his forehead.
Because the release of pheromones is an extremely private matter, with the arrival of another protagonist, Lu Zhizhao, everyone consciously left Ning Jiayi's ward.
As the door closed, Ning Jiayi could feel Lu Zhizhao's presence very clearly.
"A Zhao! You're here!"
The boy's eyes, who could barely stand up, suddenly lit up.
He tried hard to force a smile and looked at Lu Zhizhao, waiting for the comfort he imagined from Lu Zhizhao.
However, he waited for a long time, but the Alpha standing at the door did not move.
"Ah Zhao?"
Ning Jiayi finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face. A little flustered, he called out Lu Zhizhao's name again.
