Chapter 42 Ex-husband and Current Family Reunion
Shen Zhi was picked up while in a trance. The crisp military uniform made his face hurt. A tear oozed out of the corner of Shen Zhi's eye.
If I can't enter the military mecha institute, all my efforts will be wasted.
Soon, Shen Zhi was put on the bed.
A vague voice echoed in my ears, "Young Master has been induced into false estrus. We need to test whether the fetus is normal."
"Okay," someone made the decision for Shen Zhi.
No, Shen Zhi covered his abdomen weakly, his eyelids opened heavily, the scene in front of him was blurry and unclear, he couldn't be exposed, otherwise he would lose everything.
The corners of Shen Zhi's moist eyes were pressed by warm fingertips. Shen Zhi's eyelashes blinked unnaturally. Shen Zhi tilted his head to look at the vague figure next to him, raised his soft arm and held his hand.
Shen Zhi couldn't feel the blood flowing, and he felt cold, "No."
The man seemed to be silent for a moment, agreeing with Shen Zhi's refusal.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhi was lifted up and buried himself in the man's chest in a daze. The tip of his nose was filled with the scent of patchouli, which slowly seeped into his lungs. The smell of resin was not greasy, but had a light herbal scent.
Shen Zhi couldn't help feeling relieved, but then he felt unspeakable grievance.
I have paid so much, but it is just one step away from being crushed.
Shen Zhi grabbed the man's clothes, a cry of sorrow spilled from his throat, and his sobs were heartbreaking.
Li Lansheng simply hugged him, as quiet as a sculpture, stable and reliable.
Shen Zhi slowly raised his head, his face full of tears, and asked again, "When can you restore your reputation as an imperial admiral and return to the public eye?"
Li Lansheng's grey eyes were still calm, showing no emotion. "I'm sorry."
He couldn't make promises to Shen Zhi about something unknown.
The words of apology stung Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi bit Li Lansheng's neck in anger and asked incoherently, "Why...why..."
He knew that it was not Li Lansheng who was wrong, but he himself who bet on the wrong cards. However, Shen Zhi still vented his anger on Li Lansheng, even on Li Lansheng who had lost his memory and had done nothing wrong.
Shen Zhi hated himself for being like this, so he did everything he could, switching between different alphas, just to make his way into the military mecha institute smoother.
In order to tie Li Lansheng down, she creates a false illusion of having sex with him, and finally injects him with a fake pregnancy injection to force Li Lansheng to marry her.
"Sorry," Li Lansheng accepted Shen Zhi's bite on his neck. The slight pain did not bring any change to Li Lansheng's expression.
Shen Zhiji used up all his strength, rested his head on Li Lansheng's chin, and was unable to close his eyes.
It's none of his business, he knows nothing.
"I want to go home," Shen Zhi closed his eyes, a strong feeling of powerlessness hitting him, "Go back to my own home."
Shen Linyuan must know something, otherwise he would not have said that to him at that time.
Li Lansheng did not hesitate, followed Shen Zhi's instructions and sent Shen Zhi back to the Shen family.
Shen Zhi recovered a little, lowered his eyes and didn't look at Li Lansheng, "You go back."
Shen Zhi ignored Li Lansheng's reaction and turned away.
Shen Linyuan was not there, so Shen Zhi went back to his room to rest and wait.
Shen Zhi's eyes hurt when she read the congratulatory letter from the champion of the mecha competition on the optical computer. As a beta, without the authority of her alpha husband, entering the military mecha institute was just to gild her resume.
What Shen Zhi needs most is exactly these false reputations.
He has experienced the overwhelming insults on Starnet, but he doesn't care. In order to achieve his goal, Shen Zhi can give up most of it.
Shen Zhi took out his diary from the secret compartment beside the bed. In it was his dream of becoming a mecha designer, as well as the various magnificent and unique mechas that he and his mother had created together.
Shen Zhi closed the diary and put it back where it belonged.
He won't give up so easily.
The door of Shen Zhi's room was opened. Shen Zhi looked up at the pale and weak omega at the door. "How could you open my room?"
Shen Zhi's room was very confidential as one had to identify his pupils to enter. However, Shen Tang was very familiar with the place and had obviously been there more than once.
Shen Tang lost her original bright complexion and looked gloomy for no reason, like a weird flower that was blooming in the corner. "Not only can I open my brother's room, I will also lie on my brother's bed at night and rest under my brother's quilt."
Shen Zhi's eyelids jumped, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Are you sick?"
Shen Zhihun felt uncomfortable all over. When he thought that the quilt on his body had been covered by Shen Tang, he felt physically nauseous.
Shen Tang walked to Shen Zhi's side, knelt down and gently placed her head on Shen Zhi's knees. The faint scent of crabapple spread and lingered. The words that came out of her sweet voice were extremely cold, "I am indeed sick. I miss my brother so much that I am almost going crazy."
Shen Zhi got goosebumps all over his body. Without thinking, he kicked Shen Tang away, his brows revealing disgust, "Disgusting!"
Shen Zhi just felt that Shen Tang said these words just to annoy him.
Shen Tang fell to the ground, his chest aching and he couldn't stop coughing. He seemed to be irritated by Shen Zhi's words, and his eyebrows showed stubborn anger. "Brother, I told you that betas can't look for alphas. The best fit for betas is inferior omegas."
"You won't be bothered by pheromones, and you can even bear children for Beta." Shen Tang raised his head, with shocking hatred in his eyes, "But you didn't listen, and you got pregnant with a wild man's child, brother, you really don't listen at all."
Shen Zhi couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Shen Tang. He never thought that Shen Tang would have such thoughts about him. Shen Tang's existence made him extremely disgusted. It was Shen Tang who deliberately came to his birthday party and announced that he had differentiated into an omega.
His coming-of-age ceremony received countless probing looks and stares, and they stepped on his head to qualify him as a child of the Shen family.
How could Shen Tang have the nerve to say that he liked me?
"Brother, from the moment we separated, I have been thinking about marrying you all the time." Shen Tangru's admiring eyes made Shen Zhi feel cold, "but you never even look at me."
The tip of Shen Zhi's shoe crushed Shen Tang's finger bones, "Shen Tang, you are so disgusting."
Shen Tang laughed foolishly, looking at Shen Zhi's face with fascination, feeling the pain Shen Zhi brought to him, "But, brother, I am the only one who understands you and has given everything for you."
"Brother, your mecha is really special," Shen Tang said almost with an exclamation.
Shen Zhi's eyes turned cold, "Are you in heat?"
Shen Tang understood the meaning of this confusing remark, and he said that he was the person who understood his brother best in the world.
"Brother, are you imagining that the one coming out of your mecha is an omega in heat?" Shen Tang described the scene that Shen Zhi expected. "If an omega in heat wins with your mecha, it will cause an unparalleled excitement. That will be the best ladder for you to enter the military mecha field."
Shen Tang watched Shen Zhi's expression change and suddenly smiled, "But brother, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Nothing happened."
Shen Zhi pursed his lips. He was not surprised. Even the official website's report of his victory deliberately blurred the word "beta".
"Don't let me see you again," Shen Zhi kicked Shen Tang and left quickly.
Shen Linyuan had already returned and was not surprised by Shen Zhi's arrival.
"Did you just meet Shen Tang?" Shen Linyuan smelled the scent of crabapple flowers on Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi didn't want to mention it, "Don't mention him to me."
Shen Linyuan didn't understand. Shen Zhi was obviously the most respected person in the Shen family, and Shen Tang lived like Shen Zhi's servant. Why did Shen Zhi still hate Shen Tang so much?
Shen Linyuan taught: "In the future, it will be of great benefit to Shen Tang to marry a powerful alpha. There is no need to be so prejudiced against him. Just treat him as a tool."
Shen Zhi has always been opposed to Shen Linyuan's treatment of people and things for profit. Even though he hates Shen Tang, he has never thought of using Shen Tang to do anything.
Shen Zhi always spoke directly to Shen Linyuan, "Do you know that Li Lansheng is back?"
Now it was Shen Linyuan's turn to be surprised, "Li Lansheng actually came back? When did it happen?"
"You don't know?" Shen Zhiyou was suspicious.
Shen Linyuan really had no idea, but his son seemed to have known about it for a long time.
Shen Linyuan shook his head.
"Then why did you ask me to give up Li Lansheng and stay with Zhuang You last time?" Li Lansheng always returned safely after each Zerg battle, and most of the people in the empire were very convinced. Almost everyone thought that Li Lansheng could come back.
However, Shen Linyuan advised him to leave early and forget about Li Lansheng.
Shen Linyuan didn't want to talk to Shen Zhi in detail, but he felt that Shen Zhi knew something while thinking about it. "Did you hear something?"
Shen Zhi nodded, and after a while he said, "It is said that Li Lansheng is a traitor to the country."
Shen Linyuan's expression became serious, just as he expected.
"Yes, the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses in the last battle with the Zerg," Shen Linyuan said with a dull look, as if recalling the past, "and the person most likely to leak the battle plan is the commander, Li Lansheng."
Shen Zhi asked in a harsh voice, "Why?"
Isn't Li Lansheng the empire's god of war? How could he betray the empire with all his honors?
Shen Linyuan sighed deeply, "Because too many people died, almost all the senior executives who knew the battle plan died in that battle. No one suspected Li Lansheng at first, but now he is back."
Shen Zhi added: "So his survival is evidence of his treason?"
How ridiculous, what a bizarre reason.
"But Zhuang You also came back alive." Shen Zhi didn't believe that Li Lansheng would be deprived of everything for such a reason.
Shen Linyuan denied it, saying, "Zhuang You didn't know about the battle plan."
Shen Linyuan looked at his son's dazed expression and said helplessly, "It's true that Li Lansheng is a 3S-level alpha. What you don't know is that he has been diagnosed with lack of emotions since he was a child. He is a restless berserker. He has no clear moral and legal bottom line in his heart."
"A person who cannot distinguish right from wrong will not betray the empire because he has no concept of the empire in his heart." Shen Linyuan still hopes that Shen Zhi can escape from the quagmire of Li Lansheng. "He is a very dangerous person. He is likely to bury the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the massacre."
"If it's unconscious, it's even more terrifying."
Shen Linyuan gave Li Lansheng a definition.
Shen Zhi wanted to refute but he didn't know where to start. It didn't make sense that among so many wars, this was the only time they couldn't control it.
Shen Linyuan seemed to see what Shen Zhi was thinking. "Li Lansheng has evolved to the top. His self-control ability is getting worse and worse. In the previous wars, he almost killed people based on instinct, but the military covered it up."
"Shen Zhi, don't get close to him," Shen Linyuan warned earnestly.
Shen Zhi opened his mouth, but no sound came out, but Li Lansheng looked normal.
Shen Linyuan felt a little frustrated looking at his foolish son. He didn't pay much attention to Shen Zhi, which led to his current predicament.
"I'll call Zhuang You, he is your best choice right now," Shen Linyuan still did not ask Shen Zhi for his opinion, but this time Shen Zhi did not get angry but chose to acquiesce.
When Zhuang You arrived, he exchanged a few words with Shen Linyuan, and Shen Linyuan went out to leave the space for them.
Zhuang You half-knelt down, looked up at Shen Zhi, his black eyes still breathtakingly beautiful.
Shen Zhi stroked her belly and said in a daze: "Zhuang You, do you love me?"
