Chapter 101 Baby's Not Afraid
Xie Xingchen mumbled, "You..."
Lin Yao gripped the back of his neck, just like the time he marked him before, with even more force.
See? I learn very quickly too.
Lin Yao silenced the other person, ordering, "Don't speak."
Xie Xingchen was about to explode. When he glanced at Pei Yizhong behind the car window, he felt like he was being fried in oil several times over.
I wanted to have a proper kiss, but I didn't want to be stared at like that.
In particular, that person practically wanted to kill him.
No one knows what it feels like to spend eighteen years finding your son, only to have him kidnapped by a young boy again before you can even reunite with him.
Xie Xingchen pushed him away forcefully, mumbling, "Your father..."
"Xie Xingchen," Lin Yao said with a resentful look in his eyes, "I rarely take the initiative like this."
Xie Xingchen, catching his breath, explained, "Your godfather is behind you, already loaded and ready to go. You probably don't want your boyfriend to die young, do you?"
Lin Yao turned his head in a daze, met Pei Yizhong's gaze for a second, then looked away and said, "I was the one who took the initiative just now."
Xie Xingchen was unable to move and lay on his back looking at him: "Yeah, the way you were pressing on me was like you wanted to fuck me."
Lin Yao: ""
That's a rather crude way of putting it.
Lin Yao raised his hand to wipe his face. The thought of having been under the old man's watchful eye the whole time made him want to dig three feet into the ground and bury himself.
His mind raced, and he tried to salvage the situation by saying, "What did you just say about the news? A large number of people went crazy, right? Did anyone hallucinate and grab someone to forcibly kiss them? I'll use that."
“It’s possible,” Xie Xingchen said calmly. “Even if it isn’t, who can say you’re not the first person to experience this symptom?”
Lin Yao nodded and turned to get out of the car.
Xie Xingchen tapped the back of his hand with his fingertip and reminded him, "Ring, don't upset him. Find a rope and hang it around his neck instead."
"Okay, boyfriend, see you tomorrow." This sentence has completely become a machine translation.
Xie Xingchen smiled slightly: "Boyfriend, see you tomorrow."
Lin Yao took off the ring and put it in his pocket. He got out of the car with a blank expression. He saw Pei Yizhong had already appeared from the second floor to the first floor door. He said calmly, "You're so eager to get to know me?"
"I've been poisoned," Lin Yao said seriously. "I'm a bit out of control right now."
Pei Yizhong raised his hand and pressed his forehead: "It is a bit hot. No wonder you've been behaving strangely lately. I can understand now. Several groups of out-of-control people appeared in the city tonight, and they are spreading at a very rapid pace."
He paused, then said meaningfully, "The timing is very delicate."
Lin Yao thought of Xie Xingchen's elopement and Xie Hengzhi's dark expression at the press conference. He moved his lips and said, "Would anyone really go to such lengths to divert attention from the news? It can't be that bad. Are you being too hostile towards the Alliance Leader?"
“I also hope I’m overthinking it, after all, there’s still no evidence of the blood plague,” Pei Yizhong said. “It’s not that I have a strong animosity towards him, it’s just that I’ve witnessed his ruthless methods to achieve his goals.”
Lin Yao sensed the underlying meaning in those words: "You two...were you close friends before?"
"Yes, me, him, and Yun Qing were once best friends. We were determined to excel in the military, political, and business fields. Don't laugh at me, but back then we were young and ambitious, and we couldn't stand everything that was in power. We hoped to build the most ideal alliance."
Pei Yizhong made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "He became the leader of the alliance as he wished, but we were on different paths and ended up never speaking to each other again."
Having experienced Xie Hengzhi's methods firsthand, Lin Yao nodded slightly: "You two certainly don't seem to be the same kind of people."
"Therefore, it will be very difficult for you to be together."
Pei Yizhong reminded him, "Although Xie Xingchen assured me before that he would choose you without hesitation between you and Xie Hengzhi, he is only nineteen years old and still very young. It is difficult for him to struggle under the weight of power, especially since he is a close relative. Yun Qing treats him very well. Choosing either side would be extremely painful."
Lin Yao lowered his eyes and said softly, "I know, if my family were better off... wouldn't it be..."
"No, even if you were my son, he wouldn't agree."
Pei Yizhong interrupted his self-deprecation, "You are too stubborn and do things your own way. You are not a pawn that can be manipulated, and you do not fit his vision for a future daughter-in-law. That is the root cause. Lin Yao, what you and Xie Xingchen need to do is become stronger and fight against him. This is a road that may be very long. Be prepared."
Indeed, Jiang Qiran, whom he had previously claimed to be satisfied with, was exactly like that.
Despite her dissatisfaction, she still went through the motions and chose a fiancé she didn't like.
If it were me, I would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Lin Yao looked at Pei Yizhong and murmured, "Thank you for telling me so much. Sometimes, I really hope..."
I am your son.
He swallowed his words and said softly, "I won't let go, so let's try."
"So stubborn, just like me." Pei Yizhong sighed. "Get some rest, your midnight snack is getting cold."
After being reminded like that, Lin Yao couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned and finally managed to drift off to sleep, only to be woken up by the vibration.
[Attention all staff, urgent notice]
[All students currently enrolled in schools in Chongqing District are requested to immediately assemble at the training ground and proceed to various pilot sites throughout the capital for public security maintenance. Due to the rapid spread of this infection, please take necessary protective measures, wear face shields, and proceed with rescue operations in designated groups according to the situation.]
[Members of the Chongqing security team went directly to Harmony Private Hospital, which served as the first testing site, to ensure the safety of the public during the administration of sedatives.]
Five o'clock in the morning.
This command was forcibly activated, and the sirens blared.
Lin Yao got up and went downstairs. Pei Yizhong was already dressed in his military uniform and standing in the living room. When he saw Lin Yao come down, he raised his hand and ordered the driver: "Let's go, go straight to the scene."
"Is it serious?" Lin Yao asked, sitting in the car, looking down as he put on his mask.
“Hmm, like a low-budget version of the blood plague. It’s not quite at the point of bloodshed, but it’s enough to cause chaos.” Pei Yizhong tightened the clasp on his face. “He was fine this afternoon, so fast.”
Lin Yao sent a message to Xie Xingchen.
【01】: Have you set off yet?
[xxc]: I met up with my older brother and sister-in-law at the entrance of Hemu.
Lin Yao said in a low voice, "Nothing happened in the afternoon, but it started to spread in the evening, and now the tranquilizers have come out?"
Pei Yizhong turned to look at him: "Do you think there's a problem?"
"We need to get a sample of the tranquilizer to test. Let's split up," Lin Yao replied to the message.
[01]: I have a feeling that this tranquilizer is from the same batch as the Z7035 I heard about before, maybe it's a defective product. For Yun Qing, there's no harm in using it, and it can also leave a good reputation.
【01】: Sorry, I was just making malicious assumptions about your father again.
[xxc]: It's okay, I'll have Boyan come over to take a sample.
After dropping Pei Yizhong off at another meeting area, the car circled back to Hemu. Lin Yao spotted Xie Hengzhi in the distance, being interviewed by reporters.
Jiang Qiran, wearing a white coat and a breathing mask, was administering sedatives to the sick crowd, while Xie Yunhuai assisted him.
"Don't panic, it's just a pheromone imbalance."
Xie Hengzhi raised his hand to quell the commotion below, "My wife's pharmaceutical company is willing to provide a batch of sedatives free of charge to help alleviate the discomfort to some extent. As for the riots in other areas, all police forces have been dispatched to suppress them."
"Has the matter of your youngest son running away from his wedding been resolved?"
"Actually, it was my eldest son and daughter-in-law who had a fight, which led to this embarrassing situation. It's my fault for not knowing the truth. But right now, controlling the infection is the most important thing. I don't want our family's little matter to take up public resources."
Watertight and meticulous.
Lin Yao spotted Xie Xingchen, dressed in black, from afar. Their eyes met, and Xie Xingchen nodded slightly to him before turning his head to speak to the police officers beside him.
It's hard to believe that just a few hours ago they were kissing intimately.
"Brother Yao, you actually got here before us!" His neck was pulled back, and he turned around to see He Li. "Cheng Boyan was coming here, so I came along."
"Actually, it's because I'm too bad. I was originally assigned to Zone A3, but they didn't want me," Cheng Boyan bluntly exposed.
He Li reached out and pinched him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Lin Yao reached out and fastened his mask to the tightest point: "Even though this isn't a riot zone, we still need to be careful."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he noticed a passerby behind him rushing towards He Li as if he had lost his mind.
The next second, Lin Yao reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist, then pressed his knee down, pinning the person to the ground.
He looked up to confirm, "How are you?"
"It's nothing." He Li patted his chest, then turned to look at the person being restrained on the ground. "Damn, he looked like he was possessed, it was terrifying."
"Uh... let go..." The other party resisted fiercely, releasing pheromones unrestrainedly.
It was an Omega; the intense pheromones released in public were causing the Alphas in the queue to begin to descend into chaos and mania.
"Take your pheromones back," Lin Yao said coldly, gripping his neck.
"I can't control it... I can't control it..." he said, while recklessly releasing an alluring fragrance, and the surroundings began to descend into uncontrollable chaos.
Lin Yao's neck flushed red. His fingers tightened, gripping Lin Yao's neck as he pulled him toward the bridge beside him, coldly saying, "Control your pheromones!"
In an instant, the restless Alphas behind him surged toward this direction, crowding together and tearing at each other in layers.
"Lin Yao!!!" Xie Xingchen suddenly looked up and ran wildly in that direction, "Where are the guards? Go!"
He Li was also extremely uncomfortable from the Omega's pheromones, but he still tore at the Alpha who was rushing towards him, roaring, "Get out of here, you perverts!"
"The scene is in chaos, request permission to kill the infected." Xie Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot as he fought his way through the crowd and sprinted toward Lin Yao.
“They shouldn’t be killed. They are just ordinary civilians. It’s not worth it.” Xie Hengzhi said calmly. “Please have the guards subdue them on the spot and take them to the hospital’s isolation area.”
Cold and domineering, as if Lin Yao's life could be treated with utter contempt.
Xie Xingchen stood outside the crowd, turned his head, and gave him a deep look.
Lin Yao had been forced to move to the very edge of the bridge.
Xie Xingchen's heart stopped: "Lin Yao..."
The frenzied Alpha rushed toward the Omega in his hand like a zombie. Lin Yao stared at Xie Xingchen for a moment, then had no choice but to grab the culprit and jump off.
The world fell silent for a moment.
The group of Alphas entered a brief daze before slowly returning to normal after their manic episode.
"Hey, what just happened? You were like you were possessed."
"Yeah, thank goodness that guy in black pulled the person away, otherwise with so many people, there would definitely have been a riot and something bad would have happened."
"That Omeg is too strong, damn it, I can't control my consciousness at all..."
"Brother Yao!!!" He Li cried out in anguish.
Xie Xingchen pushed through the crowd and jumped off the bridge without hesitation, reaching out to grab the falling body.
He was injured, his blood spread in the water, and the fir trees spread across the entire body of water.
"Xie Xingchen, don't come any closer." Lin Yao looked at the Omega who was still not far away and struggled to create some distance. "You'll be drawn into a highly susceptible period."
His collar had been ripped open during the riot, his shoulder was wounded from the struggle of the infected, and he was still wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
His voice was trembling, because of the riots and the unknown infection.
"Xie Xingchen, don't come any closer, go find a doctor." He gasped, "I don't want you to lose control like last time."
Xie Xingchen was indeed unable to bear it at this moment. The inducement from the strong infected person was tantamount to forced arousal, but he stubbornly reached out and pulled him back into his arms.
He pressed the trembling body into his arms, unfastened the mask, and kissed the wound on the shoulder.
"Baby, don't be afraid, I'll quarantine with you."
