Upon hearing Rong Shi’s voice, Song Yu’s strained nerves from the evening finally relaxed, and his rationality completely flew away.

It was as if a voice in his mind said, “It’s okay, with him here, you don’t have to keep struggling.”

Song Yu’s moves were ruthless. Under the influence of pheromones, he held nothing back in his attacks.

Rong Shi dodged and retreated, simultaneously guiding Song Yu towards a spacious area, fearing he might bump into something.

---

On the terrace, Qin Luo smelled the strong Omega pheromones in the air. He looked at He Nian, slumped in the corner, and then at the sweating, disheveled dark guards, letting out a curse.

He held his breath and squatted in front of He Nian, pulling open his collar to check. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there were no bite marks on the gland.

“Young Master Qin,” the dark-skinned Beta reported quickly, “Should we take him away or…?”

Rong Shi had only said not to let him die, but hadn’t mentioned whether to take him away.

Qin Luo was unsure of their intentions at the moment, but if they took him away now, it might implicate the Shen family later when accountability was sought.

“You two find a room and keep an eye on him. We’ll talk after my brother’s emotions stabilize,” Qin Luo extended his hand, “The medicine!”

The flat-headed Beta quickly took out a syringe from his back waist pocket and handed it over.

A considerable commotion came from the banquet hall. The two dark guards dared not delay further. One on each side, they supported He Nian, silently disappearing into the night.

Qin Luo sprinted all the way to the guest room Rong Shi had mentioned. He could hear the sounds of fighting from behind the door.

“Damn! They’re really fighting.”

It proved that even if two Alphas had a good relationship, when they lost their minds, they would still fight.

Qin Luo cautiously looked at the corridors on both sides and knocked hard on the door: “Sister-in-law, the medicine is here—!”

Before he could finish, the door suddenly opened.

He was caught off guard and nearly stumbled in.

The overwhelming Alpha pheromones instinctively triggered a hostile response in Qin Luo. He shook his head to stay clear-headed and turned to close the door.

Just as he turned his head, a blue, tennis-racket-like object suddenly appeared on the door and slapped him on the butt.

“Damn!”

Qin Luo stumbled forward, then heard the heavy thud of the door closing.

“Hand it over.” Rong Shi dodged Song Yu’s sweeping leg, propped himself on the sofa, flipped to the other side, and extended his hand towards Qin Luo.

Qin Luo had no time to think about what just happened. He quickly scrambled up and ran towards Rong Shi.

“Inject it into his arm, not his neck!”

Before Rong Shi could grab the inhibitor, Song Yu, who had caught up, kicked his hand. Qin Luo cried out in pain, then took a punch to the face.

“Holy shit!”

Seeing Song Yu about to hit him again, Qin Luo covered his face and ducked behind the sofa, carefully inching out of the combat zone: “Sorry to interrupt! I’m leaving! I’ll leave by myself!”

His Highness was usually very sensitive to pheromones; both Alpha and Omega pheromones would irritate him. Now, it was even worse.

Anyone who got near him would die.

With the punching bag gone, Song Yu’s attention shifted to the inhibitor that had been kicked into the air. He raised his long leg and swept it.

Rong Shi jumped onto the armrest of the sofa, snatching the inhibitor before it could be kicked away again.

Qin Luo didn’t dare to touch the strange door. He scurried into one of the bedrooms, leaving a crack in the door to observe the battle.

“Hiss—how ruthless!” The side of his face that was hit was swollen like a steamed bun.

Qin Luo had seen Rong Shi’s skills during the league matches. No exaggeration, among their peers, only His Highness could compare to him.

But now, it seemed even His Highness wasn’t a match for Rong Shi.

He had personally experienced how hard His Highness hit when he lost his mind.

In this situation, Rong Shi not only handled it with ease, but he could even guide His Highness to act according to his will.

Is this even human?

Rong Shi dragged Song Yu around to exhaust his physical strength, letting him vent the irritability caused by the pheromone stimulation.

When he felt Song Yu’s attacks weaken, he seized the opportunity to seize his wrist, twisting it behind his back, and held him in front of him.

Rong Shi bit open the cap of the syringe. He paused as he placed it on Song Yu’s arm, then gently plunged it in.

After the injection, he tossed the syringe aside and turned the struggling person in his arms to hold him tight.

“It’s okay now.”

Whether it was the effect of the inhibitor or the familiar scent of Rong Shi, Song Yu’s emotions gradually calmed in his embrace.

“Rong Shi?” Song Yu’s voice was hoarse, his vision blurred.

“Hmm,” Rong Shi’s hand ran through his soft hair.

Song Yu wrapped his arms around Rong Shi’s waist, leaning against him, panting and utterly exhausted.

“You weren’t hurt, were you?”

Rong Shi: “No.”

Song Yu thought of the situation when he was attacked by pheromones, his eyes growing cold, “It was him, right? That H506 who would try to kill me.”

In the past few months, Rong Shi had said more than once that an AO relationship with a 100% pheromone match could very likely be dominated by the Omega, especially an Omega whose pheromones had been deliberately modified to target someone.

During that drug lab bust, he was stimulated by a liquid marked H506. Rong Shi had hinted that the corresponding Omega for that liquid was likely a 100% match for him and could kill him.

From the moment He Nian appeared, Song Yu knew something was off. The deliberate disguise, the intentional or unintentional closeness, and the pheromones that caught his attention.

Before leaving Imperial Capital Star, he had to confirm if this person was the super Omega modified to target him.

He couldn’t leave such a huge hidden danger unaddressed.

Rong Shi’s voice was devoid of emotion: “Yes, I wasn’t sure before, but I am now.”

Song Yu: “What about him? Did I kill him?”

At the mention of He Nian, Rong Shi’s face darkened.

“No.”

“That’s good,” Song Yu sneered. “Can’t let him off that easily.”

Rong Shi led him to the living room and sat him down. He knelt in front of him and used a towel to wipe the sweat from his face, softly saying, “I’ll go take care of things. I’ll be back soon.”

Song Yu’s condition hadn’t completely stabilized, and Rong Shi didn’t want to leave, but since the incident had happened, he had to try his best to steer the outcome in their favor.

Seeing Song Yu obediently nod, Rong Shi didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment. He stood up and left.

One more look, and he wouldn’t want to leave.

---

As the Alpha’s pheromones weakened, Song Ke rushed out in a flurry.

He absolutely couldn’t let Song Yu succeed!

He followed the pheromones, circling the entire mansion but found nothing. His mood grew increasingly irritable.

“Damn it! Where the hell did they go?!”

The strong pheromones in the banquet hall indicated they were very close. In such a short time, they couldn’t have gone far.

Song Ke opened his terminal, and the moment the call connected, he roared into it: “Are you all dead, goddammit?! Everyone get out there and find them!”

Just as he hung up, he caught sight of Rong Shi walking from the opposite corridor.

Song Ke quickly took a few steps to block him.

“Where’s Song Yu?!” Song Ke’s eyes were unfriendly, his attitude forceful.

Catching sight of Song Ke’s bulging tent, Rong Shi calmly said, “I’m looking for him too.”

Song Ke’s face darkened: “You wouldn’t know where he is?”

Rong Shi continued walking forward without stopping, no longer answering his question.

If he can’t answer, there must be something wrong! Song Ke immediately followed.

Rong Shi listened to 01’s report, circled three small gardens, and stopped in front of a servant’s lounge.

Song Ke looked around, then looked at Rong Shi in confusion: “Are they in here?”

Rong Shi didn’t answer. He raised his hand to push the door open.

Song Ke moved like lightning, pushing past Rong Shi and going in first.

If Rong Shi went in first, he would definitely be locked out.

A gust of wind blew, and with a bang, the door closed behind him.

Song Ke’s heart skipped a beat. He turned to open the door but was drawn by the sweet scent filling the air.

That’s right! It’s this pheromone!

Between opening the door and going in to look, he chose the latter.

The room was simple. Outside was only a small living room, and through a small door was the bedroom.

Song Ke saw He Nian lying on the bed at a glance.

---

Outside the room, Rong Shi rubbed his throbbing forehead and walked back to the banquet hall, his expression indifferent: “Lock it down for me before tomorrow morning.”

[Received!]

Two dark figures leaped down from above the small building, approaching Rong Shi as he passed through the shadows.

“Young Master Rong, our boss he—?” the flat-headed Beta asked with concern.

Rong Shi: “He’s fine. You two stay here and watch.”

The dark-skinned Beta frowned: “Young Master’s people can easily find this place. We can’t hold them off for long.”

Rong Shi walked leisurely forward with his long strides: “They won’t find them.”

Two kinds of pheromones swept through like a hurricane, turning the banquet hall into a chaotic mess.

Fortunately, the Shen family had many doctors. The branch family’s children and nephews helped distribute medicine and conduct checks. Luckily, no one showed signs of pheromone rampage.

The nobles who had regained their senses looked very embarrassed.

Although mutual attraction between opposite-sex pheromones was instinctive, reacting on the spot was very undignified.

Many were enraged with shame—

“Who is causing trouble at Elder Shen’s birthday banquet?! They must be found!”

“Only beasts go into estrus anywhere. And this person is a noble? Unbelievable.”

“This is slapping the Shen family’s face!”

“Everyone, let’s see who’s missing.”

“The He family kid isn’t here!”

“Song Yu and Rong Shi have also been gone for a while!”

As soon as someone mentioned Song Yu, certain individuals immediately steered the conversation towards him.

At such a time, what they truly needed wasn’t the truth, but a way to extricate themselves.

In just a moment, everyone believed that Song Yu, the Shen family’s maternal grandson, was fooling around with an Omega at his grandfather’s birthday banquet.

Elder Shen was in a state of chaos, needing to arrange for doctors to attend to every guest and to check surveillance to see who was involved. But, to his dismay, the surveillance footage couldn’t be retrieved.

Just as he was at a loss, he heard them slandering his grandson, and the anger he had suppressed all evening erupted.

His gaze intentionally swept over Zhao Chu and those who were fanning the flames.

“If you can know the truth by guessing, what’s the point of surveillance?!”

Zhao Chu scoffed: “Everyone is here; only he isn’t. If not him, then who?”

Immediately, many people echoed—

“Yes, if it wasn’t him, was it a servant? Could a servant have pheromones of that level?”

“It’s obvious; they still won’t admit it.”

“How uncouth, at such an event—and he’s even married!”

“Just a superficial partnership, they play around privately, nothing new.”

Elder He stormed over to Elder Shen, angrily declaring: “You better pray my grandson is fine, otherwise, I’ll make your Shen family pay!”

Regardless of whose Alpha pheromones they were, it was now almost certain that the Omega pheromones belonged to He Nian.

Since the incident broke out, Elder He’s face had been contorted with rage.

His grandson going into estrus at someone else’s family banquet, with pheromones drifting everywhere, was simply humiliating!

If this got out, his He family would be laughed at for a long time!

Speaking so rudely in front of so many people, Elder Shen patiently tried to calm him.

“Old He, I’ve already sent everyone to search. The matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly. Please calm down.”

“How can I calm down!” Elder He snapped furiously, “If your grandson were an Omega and mine an Alpha, I wouldn’t be worried!”

“What do you mean by that?!” Elder Shen also flared up, “What does your grandson going into estrus have to do with my grandson?!”

Elder He pointed at his face, cursing: “Who doesn’t know your grandson is mentally ill and capable of anything?!”

Elder Shen: “You—!”

“Whether he’s ill or not is not for you to decide.”

A cool voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone subconsciously looked over. It was Rong Shi.

Many present showed surprise.

Even the best drinkers needed rest after consuming so much alcohol. When Rong Shi left, everyone knew he couldn’t hold out any longer.

But they didn’t expect him to return, acting as if nothing had happened!

Rong Shi walked to Elder Shen’s side and looked at Elder He.

“Leaving aside whether or not it was your grandson who went into estrus tonight, even if it was, the first thing you should do is find your grandson and confirm his safety, not blame an outsider. Are you trying to extort us?”

Directly exposed, Elder He’s face flushed crimson.

Rong Shi then looked at Zhao Chu: “Song Yu isn’t the only Alpha not present. Song Ke isn’t here either. If you can’t provide conclusive evidence that the pheromones were Song Yu’s, then I have reason to suspect you of intentionally spreading rumors.”

Zhao Chu’s face changed.

Intentionally spreading rumors about royalty—if this matter were amplified by someone with ill intentions, it would be no laughing matter!

The crowd fell silent for a second, then suddenly began to whisper.

They looked left and right, surprised.

Song Ke really wasn’t here! When did he leave?

Elder Shen saw that those who had been vehemently attacking him earlier had fallen silent, and his mood was momentarily complex.

In this situation, Rong Shi’s words carried more weight than his own.

His Shen family was merely a declining noble house with a clear end in sight, but Rong Shi, backed by the Qian family, was young and capable, with infinite possibilities for the future.

Even these nobles, who usually looked down on everyone, would be wary of him.

Furthermore, Rong Shi having made them all drink themselves into submission would also earn him a different kind of respect.

It sounded absurd, but it was the truth.

Zhao Chu’s gaze quickly swept over the crowd, his brows furrowed: “Then tell us, where did Song Yu go! Such a big incident happened, and he didn’t even show up?”

“Partners are one. What’s the difference between me coming and him coming?” At this, Rong Shi tilted his head to look at Elder Shen, “Something urgent came up from above that was handed to Xiao Yu. He really couldn’t get away, so he asked me to apologize to you.”

Elder Shen paused, then cooperated: “Young people should focus on their studies and careers. What’s the point of constantly hovering around an old man like me? Let him attend to his own business, no need to worry needlessly.”

Zhao Chu pressed: “What’s so important? Don’t tell me it’s just an excuse?”

Rong Shi’s expression was calm: “It’s a matter of confidentiality, even I can’t know. If you’re truly curious, you can ask those above directly.”

Zhao Chu’s face stiffened. He kept silent.

With Rong Shi’s arrival, those who had been jumping and cursing were silenced with a few words.

Elder Shen felt relieved and was even more pleased with his grandson-in-law.

Although he couldn’t bear children, he was so satisfying!

This grandson-in-law was too satisfying!

With the birthday banquet having reached this point, no one was in the mood to continue.

Regardless of who caused the incident tonight, spreading it would be detrimental to everyone involved. Moreover, judging by Rong Shi’s attitude, Elder Shen vaguely felt that it might truly be related to his own grandson.

He was about to arrange cars to send the guests off, but Rong Shi stopped him.

Rong Shi looked at him: “It’s late. You must be very tired. How about I arrange the rest of the matters?”

Elder Shen met his gaze and finally conceded.

“Alright.”

---

In the guest room, Song Yu waited for his agitated emotions to subside.

But the longer he waited, the more irritated he became.

Qin Luo, hiding behind the door, dared not run out, fearing another beating. He sat on the floor, peering through the crack in the door at his Highness.

Seeing him constantly rubbing his forehead, looking very impatient, he whispered, “Brother, is the medicine still not working?”

“Get out!”

The reprimand, accompanied by the sound of a vase crashing to the floor, startled Qin Luo.

Qin Luo: “…”

Okay, he had his answer.

Less than half an hour later, Song Yu had sweated through his clothes several times. He finally realized something was wrong.

The effect of the inhibitor wouldn’t be immediate, but it had been so long, there was no reason for the symptoms to still be worsening.

He had received an inhibitor injection just a few days ago for his susceptible period. The time gap was too short; had the medication’s potency weakened?

Song Yu’s breathing became rapid again due to his irritable emotions. He couldn’t help but get up and pace, leaning against the back of the sofa to regulate his breathing, trying to calm the unusual restlessness.

No!

Can’t calm down!

“When is Rong Shi coming back?”

Song Yu said irritably, “Tell him to come back quickly.”

Qin Luo saw the situation was bad and was terribly anxious.

“He… he should be back soon.”

He said so, but in his mind, he thought, What’s the use of him coming?

Rong Shi wasn’t an Omega. If his pheromones stimulated His Highness again, would the two of them just fight again?

His Highness had bought a house with enhanced inhibitors, which he could get, but those had severe side effects. Afterward, regular inhibitors might not work anymore.

Finally, a thought flashed through his mind.

If all else fails, find an Omega and let His Highness bite them.

Song Yu could feel the medication wearing off.

“Call Rong Shi, tell him to come back,” he panted, repeating, “I want him back!”

Qin Luo frowned, fumbled with his terminal, and searched for Rong Shi’s communication number.

In that short while, Song Yu couldn’t wait any longer and strode towards the bedroom door.

Qin Luo’s jaw trembled with fear. He quickly closed the door crack further: “You, you don’t come over yet. I’ll call Daddy Rong back immediately!”

Song Yu’s voice was low and hoarse, his bangs wet with sweat, even his eyelashes seemed to be covered in mist.

He muttered repeatedly—

“Rong Shi—”

“I want Rong Shi—”
