"He's very capable. Ning Tangsheng is currently the youngest person in charge of a family in the upper echelons of the star region. Under his management, the Ning family's assets have increased several times in the past few years."
Lu Taipan suddenly heard Su Liang's low whisper in his ears.
"He is also an outstanding alumnus of Xingchuan University..." Noticing Lu Taipan's gaze on him, Su Liang added uncomfortably, "I've read the report about him."
"If all you want is to double your wealth, the butler can do better than him."
Lu Taipan's eyes darkened slightly, seemingly not noticing the slight sourness in Su Liang's tone, and he answered in a serious tone.
"If he had become an Omega instead of a Beta, your marriage would actually be a win-win situation..."
"He was never someone I would consider."
Lu Taipan said.
Su Liang bit his lips, looking awkward.
"But he..."
Finally, the boy's mosquito-like mumbling was interrupted by the older man's whisper with a hint of smile.
"Xiaoliang, you are jealous."
Lu Taipan spoke quite frankly.
Su Liang's body stiffened.
The next second, the flames of shame burned from his heels to his head.
So this is... jealousy?
It was not until this time that Su Liang suddenly woke up and wondered what nonsense he had just said. The awkwardness and unhappiness in those words that seemed to praise Ning Tangsheng made even him blush when he thought about it.
Why do you say those weird things for no apparent reason?
Obviously, she should know better than Lu Taipan that the man in front of her could never have any ambiguity with Ning Tangsheng - in her previous life, Su Liang had witnessed the wedding of Ning Jiayi and Lu Zhizhao with her own eyes, but at that time, the snake master of the Lu family was always alone and didn't even have a rumored girlfriend.
At that time, I didn't even appear next to Lu Taipan, but at that time Lu Taipan had nothing to do with Ning Tangsheng, let alone now? !
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, Ning Tangsheng didn't dare to do anything really in the corridor just now. At most, he glanced in the direction of Lu Taipan when he left, and that was all.
Su Liang just wanted to cover his face.
At that time, Lu Zhizhao and Ning Jiayi were just short of hugging and kissing in front of him, but he didn't feel anything.
But now, Su Liang found himself getting so angry that his fur stood on end without him even realizing it, just because someone looked at Lu Taipan for a second longer.
"sorry."
Su Liang lowered his head in shame.
"Just now... I... just... maybe I was a little... a little jealous."
Su Liang stuttered the last sentence, and even the back of his neck turned red.
It's not that I don't want to admit my mistakes, it's just that I'm simply ashamed.
Hearing Su Liang's apology, Lu Taipan's eyes became even darker.
Especially when his eyes fell on the tempting pink on the boy's cheeks, the man's Adam's apple rolled.
"I accept your apology."
Lu Taipan said hoarsely.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Su Liang was sure that it was definitely not his illusion - after he admitted that he was jealous, Lu Taipan looked very happy.
"I don't mind your jealousy at all."
It was as if he was complaining that Su Liang was not shameful enough, Lu Taipan emphasized it in a particularly serious manner.
"Next time... you can put the bite stopper on me before I go out, so I won't be afraid of being seen by others."
"Mr. Si, you——"
Su Liang's eyes widened with anger.
The smile on Lu Taipan's lips deepened, and his eyes became darker, with a wild animal-like light flashing in them.
"Now that you've calmed down, are you willing to let me see the... marks on your back?" Lu Taipan whispered, "I'm really a little worried."
Su Liang was silent for a while, his voice a little weak: "I have something important to do in the afternoon. Mr. Si, you said before that you would not do anything else."
Lu Taipan: “Yeah.”
"Just checking it out, huh?"
"right."
Lu Taipan promised sincerely.
On this day, when Lu Taipan and Su Liang arrived at the survivor living base of Farm N, they were a little later than the scheduled time.
When getting off the aircraft, Su Liang's movements were weaker than usual.
"careful--"
Seeing Su Liang's legs going weak, the Alpha behind him immediately reached out and held the boy steadily.
Then, he felt Su Liang tremble slightly in his palm.
"Don't, don't get too close to me."
Su Liang pursed her lips and angrily struggled to break free from Lu Taipan's arms.
There were still some red marks on the delicate Omega's eye sockets, and a light mist was lingering around her body.
In order to wash off the overly strong pheromones left on his body by a certain Alpha, Su Liang had to stay in Lu Taipan's office for a long time before he could barely go out.
"Well, okay."
Lu Taipan lowered his head and immediately let go of his hand.
Perhaps because he knew that some of his behaviors today were indeed very bad, Alpha behaved very well in front of Su Liang today.
But even if he did this, he didn't get any smile from Su Liang.
The tall, handsome, and sinister Lord of the Snake Cave looked at his angry kitten and rarely showed a bit of guilt.
He could swear that when he dragged Su Liang into the office to check the traces left behind, he really had no strange intentions, but in the end, he couldn't help himself.
Lu Taipan raised his hand and tapped his shoulder involuntarily. Last night, he left deep teeth marks on Su Liang's shoulder. Today in the office, the crying Su Liang also got angry and bit him. It does hurt when an Omega who has been pushed to the extreme bites someone. Even now, Lu Taipan still feels a slight sting on his shoulder. But as Alpha felt his wounds, his expression became more and more satisfied.
He felt a little regretful that he had not been able to keep his promise again, but if it happened again... Lu Taipan felt that he still would not be able to control himself.
Very bad susceptible period.
Terrible pheromone addiction.
Very bad... myself.
I'm afraid we'll really have to put pressure on the equipment design department to speed up the development of an upgraded version of the bite stopper.
Lu Taipan thought in his heart.
He felt that he might really be unable to control the deepest desires of an Alpha.
…
The living base is located somewhere in the first star zone. It is in a very secret location and is heavily guarded. It is within the control range of the Snake Cave, but it is quite a distance away from the Snake Cave. The reason why the survivors brought back from Area 48 were placed here was because there were too many high-level Alphas gathered in the headquarters of the Snake Cave. In order to prevent the Alphas from stimulating the mentally unstable survivors, they were all moved here to live.
Military bionic men equipped with weapon systems, some beta medical officers and nurses are responsible for taking care of them. Of course, extremely strict protection has been set up outside the base.
All arrangements were made to allow these suffering survivors to stay away from Alpha's interference, so that they could recuperate in peace and heal their psychological trauma and mental damage.
Under this premise, Lu Taipan stopped in the waiting area after entering the base.
"I'll wait for you here."
Lu Taipan said softly to Su Liang.
The voice was so gentle that water could drip out of it.
Su Liang ignored him and followed the Beta caregiver who came to greet him towards the inside of the base.
The weird atmosphere between the Lord of the Snake Cave and Su Liang was so obvious that the young-looking nurse next to Su Liang looked back at Lu Taipan several times with a bit of trepidation, then looked at Su Liang, hesitant to speak, his face full of curiosity.
"Did you and the Lord Snake have a quarrel?"
Finally, the nurse asked in a low voice.
"No." Su Liang responded calmly, "It's just that I just learned a lesson today."
"reason?"
"Alphas are all dogs."
Su Liang gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
Lu Tai leaned against the metal door, looking at the frail boy with deep eyes as he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
He must be really angry.
Lu Taipan sighed, feeling a little regretful - but not really regretful.
He waited until Su Liang's back was completely out of sight before taking a deep breath, turning around and sitting upright on the uncomfortable chair in the waiting area, and began to deal with the mountain of official business.
His face was gentle when facing Su Liang, but became cold and serious when facing the documents.
After a few minutes, he paused and tapped his headset.
"housekeeper."
He called out.
"Contact the Third Legion, Commander Lin Yifei."
"OK."
The butler in the headset responded to Lu Taipan weakly. There were no naughty words or complaints, only the naked indifference of the artificial intelligence.
Soon, Lin Yifei's sleepy face appeared on the floating screen in front of Lu Taipan.
Judging from the background, a certain legion commander also spent the day working overtime in the office.
"Hmm... It's rare that you would take the initiative to find me?"
"I need the most detailed information about the mission you sent to investigate the farm," Lu Taipan said directly when he saw Lin Yifei, "How your seven subordinates were involved in the farm incident, how they were discovered, and their current physical condition... I need all the details."
Lin Yifei was yawning and leaning back in his chair. When he heard Lu Taipan's voice, his pupils shrank slightly and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He was keenly aware of the implicit meaning in Lu Taipan's tone.
"What did you find out?"
Lu Taipan nodded and did not deny it.
"The Ning family is most likely the boss behind Farm N."
The Lord of the Snake Cave spoke in an extremely calm and indifferent tone, news that was enough to shock the entire Earth Alliance.
Even Lin Yifei couldn't help but be stunned for several seconds before reacting after hearing Lu Taipan's words.
"If this is a joke, then I can say that your joke is not funny at all. The Ning family is related to the farm..."
"No, it's not just related, it's the actual controller of the farm."
Lu Taipan corrected.
"Do you have any evidence?"
The legion commander's voice was a little unsteady.
It’s not because of his poor psychological quality, but because the Ning family is indeed not an ordinary powerful family.
Over the years, the Ning family has been working quietly in the First Star Region without showing off. However, in recent years, with their marriages with various powerful people, their power has actually developed quite rapidly, especially since they have been controlling the alliance's pharmaceutical companies, and their wealth is astonishing. Otherwise, Lu Zhengen would not have resorted to fighting against the Snake Lord to save Lu Zhizhao after Lu Zhizhao was expelled by Lu Taipan.
To be precise, what he wanted to protect was not just Lu Zhizhao, but the engagement between the Lu and Ning families.
To some extent, ever since Lu Taipan had to retreat behind the scenes due to pheromone disorder and no longer interfere in the actual affairs of the Lu family, the Ning family has actually caught up with the Lu family, and can even be on par with the Lu family.
Moreover, it is different from the Lu family, which was a latecomer and made its fortune entirely through bloody wars. Before the Lu family, the Ning family had always been the oldest family in the alliance.
Such a behemoth, such a top blue-blood family, is actually secretly operating a black market network for human trafficking? !
Lin Yifei thought that he was used to the dirty deeds of the powerful families behind the scenes, but when such a big scandal was told by Lu Taipan himself, it still made him feel unreal.
Lu Taipan glanced coldly at the legion commander whose face was ashen.
"There are too many Omegas in the Ning family."
The Lord of the Snake Cave gave a light reminder.
"There is no such thing as perfect genes in this world. It is impossible for every child in the Ning family to differentiate into an Omega just right."
Because of the genetic modification many years ago, the Lu family has the almost terrifying Alpha level and strength of each generation of snake masters. However, even so, the Lu family has Lu Taipan, as well as Lu Zhengen and that family of waste.
However, when the Ning family needs an A-level Omega, someone will happen to transform into an A-level Omega.
When they need a low-level Omega, someone will happen to become a low-level Omega.
Normal Omegas usually differentiate at around fourteen years old, but if the Ning family needs it, even if he is seventeen or eighteen years old, they will have such a person who is in the pre-differentiation period with good values in all aspects... Then, when the marriage is confirmed, he will just be the perfect fiancée.
It's like a custom-made product.
"I've been checking them out for a long time."
Lu Taipan said indifferently.
"I always thought they were just doing business with the farm until we rescued a group of survivors from the pirates. You can take a look at this..."
Lu Taipan clicked on his personal communication, and an extremely detailed investigation report covering several years was sent to Lin Yifei.
Lin Yifei quickly read the report, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of anger.
"I will ask the commander-in-chief to convene a military court immediately! All of these scum should be sentenced to death!"
When Lin Yifei thought of his subordinates who were still lying in the life support cabin, his masseter muscles bulged and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Lu Taipan shook his head.
"No, I don't intend to handle this matter within the Earth Alliance." The Lord of the Snake Cave said calmly, "I intend to submit this incident directly to the Galactic Affairs Committee."
After a pause, he added: "The commander-in-chief's lover is also from the Ning family. He is completely untrustworthy."
“Tsk—”
Lin Yifei slammed his fist on the table.
He took deep breaths, and then quickly controlled his emotions.
When he looked at Lu Taipan, his expression was solemn. He tapped the screen again and looked at the report carefully.
"You want to hand this matter over to the Star Alliance, which is a perfect idea. Although those weird aliens are difficult to get along with, they have always handled things that violate the basic moral bottom line very neatly. However, the evidence you have investigated is far from enough for the Star Alliance court."
"I know."
The Covenant's requirements for evidence are much higher than those of Earthlings.
However, the Ning family destroyed the evidence very thoroughly - all the people involved in the specific affairs of the farm, once something happened, would either disappear without a trace with the retreat of the farm, or be killed by the farm without delay.
The survivors rescued by Lu Taipan and Su Liang from District 48 can be said to be the only survivors in all these years.
But even so, it is still far from enough for the Star Alliance Court. This group of survivors had their glands removed, and because of this, their mental states are extremely unstable, and they cannot even accept Alpha approaching them. This directly leads to their testimonies being likely to be deemed unreliable, and the Ning family can still use this to get away with it.
Lu Taipan did not have any evidence that could completely convict the Ning family.
However, Lu Taipan remained very calm about this.
"We'll find out."
He said.
The tone was light, but no one would question this statement.
"The Ning family...cannot stay."
He added.
The smooth voice contained a terrible murderous intent.
Lin Yifei also nodded.
"The Third Legion is willing to cooperate."
…
The two Alphas quickly decided to wipe out the Ning family.
Normally, after discussing the business, they would quickly end the call, but for some reason, today the two of them inexplicably did not move.
Lin Yifei and Lu Taipan fell into a strange silence because of this.
The legion commander blinked and looked at Lu Taipan in confusion.
"Snake Master, do you have anything else to say?"
He couldn't help but ask, his nerves a little tense.
Lu Taipan looked at Lin Yifei's haggard face due to overtime work, and said in a deep voice: "When Ning Tangsheng came to inquire about the news today, he was seen by Xiaoliang..."
Before Lin Yifei could speak, Lu Taipan continued.
"Xiaoliang is jealous because of this."
Lin Yifei: “…Ah?”
He looked at Lu Taipan blankly.
Lu Taipan glanced at Lin Yifei again.
"Forget it, you don't understand."
He said.
The next second, the floating screen suddenly disappeared, and Lu Taipan hung up the call with Lin Yifei.
A few minutes later, the butler spoke slowly into the headset.
"The commander of the Third Army, Lin Yifei, has sent you a large number of communications containing insulting words. I have blocked his communications for you."
"knew."
Lu Taipan looked indifferent and continued to immerse himself in his official duties.
But soon. He casually said to the butler: "I have approved your application to purchase those bionic human bodies."
"Approved?! Are you saying that you agree to my purchasing those two new bionic human bodies?!"
The butler's voice suddenly became surprised and happy.
"Wow, am I dreaming? No, that's not right. I'm an artificial intelligence and I don't dream. Master, what happened?"
If artificial intelligence could also cry tears of joy, then the butler now should already be in a state of crying tears of joy.
It asked Lu Taipan expectantly.
Lu Taipan: "Just because I'm very happy today."
He said.
