Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Mr. Shen is the best alpha. …
Shen Louchen's knuckles tightened slightly as he gripped the phone. Lin Yunzhou's voice, filled with regret, came from the receiver again: "By the way, Louchen, I've compared your omega's glands three times, and the situation is more serious than expected. Not only is his glandular tissue developmentally retarded, but the cell activity is also far below the normal omega level, and..."
Lin Yunzhou paused, as if weighing his words. "From the report, we can see obvious signs of human damage. It's not a natural lesion during the differentiation phase. It's more likely that someone treated it with drugs or instruments before differentiation, or even shortly after birth. I previously treated an alpha patient with the same condition. The treatment was also very rough, like deliberate destruction without complete removal."
Chen Louchen walked towards the balcony and asked in a low voice, "Deliberate destruction?" His voice was very low, with a hint of chill in the ending tone.
"Almost exactly," Lin Yunzhou confirmed. "This is highly consistent with the reaction to long-term exposure to high-concentration inhibitor waste. But the strangest thing is that although his glands have been damaged and turned into 'inferior products', they still retain basic pheromone secretion function, but it's extremely unstable."
"Unstable?"
"Yes," the rustling sound of Lin Yunzhou flipping papers came through the receiver, "I guess his pheromone fluctuations are related to his mental state, so I have a bold guess."
Chen Louchen's gaze fell on Fu Xu, who was sitting at the desk, clutching the corner of his clothes. The boy's slender shoulders were slightly hunched, as if he was alert to everything around him. Chen Louchen lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "So, forcibly controlling the mental state may lead to directional differentiation?"
"Yes."
"Any other findings?"
"Immunity is definitely compromised," Lin Yunzhou sighed. "Abnormal glandular function will directly affect the immune system. As for the rest, with current technology, we can only investigate so far. The methods of human sabotage were too subtle, and after so many years, many traces have long been covered up by the body's self-repair mechanisms."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Lin Yunzhou added, "I speculate that the other party either wanted to completely destroy his omega characteristics, or wanted to control his future differentiation direction through this method. However, they didn't expect that the gland removal was incomplete, and instead, he completed his differentiation in pain. This method is occasionally used for illegal omega transformation on the black market, but it is extremely rare to start it from a young age like this."
Chen Louchen's Adam's apple rolled, his gaze darting across the patch of skin at the back of Fu Xu's neck, hidden by his collar. It was as if he could see the scars covering that delicate gland through the fabric. "I understand. Send the report directly to my office."
After hanging up the phone, when Chen Louchen turned around, the coldness on his face had disappeared, leaving only a gloomy calmness. Fu Xu was looking up at him with timid doubt in his eyes, as if he realized that the content of the call was related to him.
Chen Louchen walked back to his desk and flicked on the lamp. A warm yellow glow spread across the test paper, casting Fu Xu's thin and slender shadow on the wall. Chen Louchen picked up the high school math paper and his voice returned to its usual calmness: "I'll explain the example to you."
Fu Xu immediately focused his attention on the test paper.
It was an analytic geometry problem with a lengthy stem and a complex curve drawn in the accompanying coordinate system. Just reading the problem made people dizzy. Fu Xu bit his lower lip and looked at it for a long time. The tip of his pen drew a few crooked auxiliary lines on the draft paper, and finally shook his head in frustration.
He had only read the textbook that Fu Jiaze had thrown away, but the boring and complicated definitions on it were completely incomparable to this kind of test questions.
Chen Louchen said nothing. He picked up a red pen and circled a few words in the question. "Break down these three conditions." His pen tip touched the elliptical equation. "First, find the standard form. It's listed here."
Fu Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly calculated on the draft paper while referring to the textbook. It was exactly as Shen Louchen said.
Chen Louchen then drew a straight line on the paper with a red pen. "Use Vieta's theorem after solving the simultaneous equations. Don't calculate the specific values. Remember this expression." He wrote a string of letters in the blank space instead of the lengthy fraction.
Fu Xu opened his eyes wide and looked at the string of letters, and suddenly found that the originally confusing steps became clear.
Chen Louchen touched a few words in the question with his pen tip, then wrote down two core equations, leaving the rest of the derivation process for Fu Xu to figure out on his own.
He could only point this out. If Fu Xu's level was really too poor, there would be no need to waste resources.
The sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the only sound in the study was the rustling of the pen tip across the paper.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Fu Xu's forehead and slid down his temples. Fu Xu stared at the problem-solving steps that were gradually taking shape on the draft paper, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Chen Louchen leaned against the bookshelf, correcting documents. The friction between the pen tip and paper disappeared, replaced by Fu Xu's voice: "Mr. Shen, I have done it."
"Yeah." Chen Louchen didn't even raise his head. He picked up Fu Xu's paper after revising the materials. The steps were concise and the ideas were clear. He could solve it in a short time by comparing the formulas. Even without any basic investigation, he was a person who could be trained.
"Not bad." Chen Louchen was very frugal with his words. When he raised his eyes, he noticed that Fu Xu's breathing was a little rapid and his lips were abnormally flushed.
Chen Louchen put his hand on Fu Xu's forehead.
Fu Xu was startled by the sudden touch and subconsciously wanted to dodge back, but Chen Louchen held the back of his neck. His rough palm pressed against the boy's slender neck, and he could clearly feel the abnormal burning heat under his skin.
"Fever?" Shen Louchen's voice became deeper.
Fu Xu's eyelashes trembled slightly, avoiding his gaze: "No, no?" Fu Xu's voice was heavily nasal, and the ending tone trembled slightly. He felt a little dizzy when Mr. Shen was explaining the problem just now, but he never thought that Shen Louchen would condescend to explain the problem to him. He wanted to seize such an opportunity even more.
Chen Louchen looked at Fu Xu's hand that was gripping the pen tightly and refusing to let go. His knuckles were white from exerting too much force, and there were ink marks between his fingers. The boy's cheeks were burning red, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He stared at the red pen marks on the test paper as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
Fu Xu's voice became lower and lower, with a grievance that was about to cry, "Did I delay Mr. Shen's time..."
Chen Louchen took the pen from Fu Xu's hand and pulled him up from the chair: "Rest first."
Fu Xu staggered, his steps unsteady, but he still looked back at the test paper on the desk, his eyes full of reluctance.
The housekeeper quickly brought a thermometer and antipyretic drugs. When the glass thermometer was clipped under Fu Xu's armpit, the boy shuddered but did not move obediently. The reading of 39.2 degrees made the housekeeper frown. The housekeeper poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him, watching Fu Xu swallow the pills.
"Uncle Chen, please take care of this here. I still haven't finished reading any documents." Shen Louchen rubbed his temples. Ever since he left this omega here, he has become more abnormal than before. According to his previous itinerary, these things should have been dealt with long ago. It's just a "possible" medicine. What on earth is he doing?
After arranging Fu Xu to lie down, Chen Louchen's phone rang again. It was Zong Zhuyuan's call, and his tone was urgent: "Minister, a large amount of illegal gland suppressants were found in the warehouse in the south of the city. The action team has surrounded the scene, but the other party is armed. We dare not act rashly. We need your personal command."
Chen Louchen walked to the window and saw a black car driving downstairs.
"Have the action team stay on standby. I'll be there in twenty minutes." Chen Louchen hung up the phone and instructed Butler Chen, "Keep an eye on him. Once the infusion is finished, ask the doctor to prescribe another set of nutrient solution."
Butler Chen nodded in agreement and watched Chen Louchen pick up his suit jacket and quickly go downstairs. There was a short sound of a door closing at the entrance. He turned around and saw the young man on the bed mumbling something unconsciously, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
When Chen Louchen got into the car, Lin Yunzhou also rushed over in a hurry, holding the report and got in directly. "This is the latest toxicology analysis." He handed over a document, "It was just discovered that a trace amount of a new element was detected in Fu Xu's body. This element has only appeared in the abandoned pharmaceutical factory in the west of the city. The person in charge of that factory ten years ago was Fu Jiachi's cousin."
Chen Louchen turned to the last page of the report. The chromatogram image of the new element looked like a twisted snake, and it seemed somewhat familiar.
“So anxious…” Chen Louchen tried to calm down and analyze everything, “The illegal smuggling of inhibitors in the south of the city…”
This is definitely not a coincidence. As for what exactly happened, you will only find out when you go there.
—
The morning mist drifted in every corner of the villa. Fu Xu didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he still felt some pain. Fu Xu raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Warm, no fever anymore.
It's strange. He was able to finish cleaning the lobby and go to bed in the previous situation at the Fu family. It was just because he cooperated with Doctor Lin's examination. Chen Louchen said that he needed to recuperate before cooperating with the treatment. After these few days of good life, has he become so fragile?
Fu Xu propped himself up and took out a small medicine bottle from his clothes. He poured out two painkillers and swallowed them. Only then did his legs feel a little better. Now his right leg still hurts occasionally when the weather is bad. In this foggy and half-wet weather, it always feels like a cold wind blowing into the bones.
There was a knock on the door, and the voice of Butler Chen came in: "Excuse me, Madam, are you awake?"
"Wake up...Uncle Chen is awake." Fu Xu quickly put on his clothes and opened the door.
Chen Zhiye walked in with a stack of books. "These are the review materials the master bought for you. He said you're very talented, so you'll be able to start the new semester next week."
Fu Xu's eyes lit up as he stared at the pile of books for a long time without reacting. Fu Xu's mouth was watering, and even though the things were placed in front of him, he still didn't dare to believe it: "Give it to me, is it mine?"
What is given to him, and only to him, will it also be his in the future?
"Haha, yes, ma'am." Chen Zhiye smiled. Who else could it be given to?
Fu Xu took the book with great joy, his heart pounding.
No matter how many rumors there are about how terrifying and uncontrollable Mr. Shen is, he still believes that Mr. Shen is the best alpha in the world. This is the first time that someone has actually prepared something for him alone.
Then he must repay Mr. Shen well.
