“He stabbed very deeply. And if he stabs a little more deeper, he might injure his cervical vertebrae. Then You Xinghai may not only lose his glands, but also may become paralyzed.” Qu Moyu hung up the phone and told Shen Dai what he had heard.

Shen Qin was criminally detained. They couldn’t see him, so they could only convey the news through an attorney.

Shen Dai still couldn’t believe what he had heard. Shen Qin did have enough motivation to retaliate against You Xinghai, but he didn’t even dare to kill a fish. How much hatred would it take for someone who had never experienced violence to pick up a knife and hurt someone in a non-dangerous situation?

“Did he think that You Xinghai did all these things?”

Shen Dai nodded and took a deep breath: “Isn’t I supposed to keep it a secret? So I didn’t explain things to him. I didn’t expect him to be so impulsive…”

“I don’t think it’s impulsivity.” Qu Moyu comforted, “You don’t have to feel responsible. He had always wanted to take revenge. You Xinghai could be punished by the law, but he was released on bail. The death of your grandmother also gave him a great impact.”

Shen Dai said solemnly: “How badly is You Xinghai injured?”

“Most of the glands can’t be preserved. Now let’s see if the damage on his nerve is serious or not. But it’s not life-threatening anyway.” Qu Moyu’s phone vibrated. He glanced at his WeChat and raised his eyebrows, “The lawyer just told me that Shen Qin told the police that he has mental illness. The sickness has been certified by the hospital many years ago.”

“…”

“Is it true?”

“I think so? He was in the hospital for a period of time. I was young at that time and I can’t remember it clearly. But my grandmother did talk about it casually. Yeah.”

“If it’s true, it’s very beneficial for the defense.” Qu Moyu patted Shen Dai’s hand, “It has already happened so you can only try to minimize the loss. Leave it to me.”

Shen Dai’s hand gently supported his forehead and his eyes closed tiredly. He didn’t know how to describe his mood at the moment. He hoped that You Xinghai would pay the price. He also admitted that he would never forgive Shen Qin in his life. But this was not the ending he wanted.

Perhaps this is the ending Shen Qin wanted. He couldn’t watch the man who ruined his life go unpunished.

“You Xinghai asked for it himself. If he had accepted bankruptcy and reorganization. And if he honestly went abroad to retire, none of this would have happened.” Qu Moyu snorted coldly, “I wanted to teach him some more lessons, but he already ended up like this now. So, there’s no need.”

Shen Dai sighed heavily: “Then… Qu Chengchen, what ‘lessons’ are you going to give him?”

Qu Moyu glanced at Shen Dai and saw that his eyes were tightly closed. He couldn’t tell the difference for a while on how to express the emotions. He said cautiously, “Are you very unhappy with the way we handled it?”

“I can’t tell whether I am happy or not. But I just can’t understand it.”

“To punish a person, you should use the way that makes him the most uncomfortable, right?” Qu Moyu smiled lightly. But his eyes were extremely cold, “It won’t take long for him to be sent to prison. It doesn’t make any sense actually. I initially wanted to send him abroad to open up overseas markets for Xingzhou, so that he won’t bother us for a long time and so that he can no longer get involved in the company’s affairs. We are all fed up with each other so it is best not to see each other again in this life.”

Shen Dai rubbed his brows and said tiredly: “That is your Qu family’s business. But then there is Shen Qin. Let me know about the news.” He said and stood up, wanting to go back to his room.

Qu Moyu grabbed Shen Dai’s wrist and gently pulled him to sit on his lap.

“You…”

“Shh, don’t move.” Qu Moyu wrapped his arms around Shen Dai’s waist, “I can’t take any big movements. The wound is easy to tear again.”

Shen Dai said with a stern face, “Then let me go. “

“I’ll let you go after a few words, okay?”

“…”

“Can you accompany me to the hospital tomorrow?”

“Why?”

Qu Moyu lowered his eyes and looked a little down: “I went to rehab yesterday for the first time. My glands are like falling asleep. There was no response. I know I can’t be impatient and that it takes time. It needs to heal gradually. That’s what these doctors have told me. But I have never been like this. I admit I was really scared.”

Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu silently. He leaned slightly and could see the medical tape stuck to the back of Qu Moyu’s neck. Although it was the same flesh-colored sticker as the pheromone sticker, it was much larger and covered a piece of bloody scab. After the blood scab falls off, you will probably see a deep and long scar.

This injury caused Qu Moyu to temporarily lose the power of an S-class alpha. And it may become permanent temporarily. Although the doctor is optimistic about his recovery, the world is full of uncertainty.

What if…?

There was a look of worry on Qu Moyu’s face. It seemed that this was the first time Shen Dai saw him being apprehensive and unconfident. He heard him say he was ‘scared’. The S-class alpha surpasses the power of mortal biological weapons. It can not be used, but its existence itself is power and a symbol of status. It is a priceless treasure that no one can afford to lose if he has it.

If Qu Moyu really completely lost the function of the glands, it is something that Shen Dai can’t imagine. In fact, he doesn’t care whether Qu Moyu will become beta, but he can’t see this incomparably powerful man being defeated. Shen Dai sighed: “Then what can I do for you?”

“We used to have a ‘mark’ together. It was the highest-level connection between AO pheromones. And you are the closest person to me. The doctor said that both you and Qiuqiu can help me stimulate the glands to help me release the pheromones again.” Qu Moyu looked at Shen Dai’s eyes with his eyes open wide, “Ah Dai, will you help me?”

Shen Dai frowned slightly: “I don’t know how to…”

“The doctor will tell you how.” Qu Moyu gently stroked Shen Dai’s back, “Let’s just listen to the doctor, okay?”

“…Okay.”

Qu Moyu smiled.

***

The next day, Shen Dai took Qiuqiu to the hospital with him.

Qu Moyu hurriedly came over to pick up the stroller: “Why did you bring Qiuqiu? If I knew you would bring him, I would have the driver pick you up. It’s inconvenient for you two on such a hot day.”

Shen Dai said quizzically: “Didn’t you say that Qiuqiu could help stimulate the glands for you?”

“Oh, yeah.” Qu Moyu glanced at the doctor, “That’s what the doctor said.”

“Please take a seat.” The doctor was very polite to Shen Dai. He even regarded him respectfully.

Shen Dai adjusted the angle of the stroller for Qiuqiu so that he could sit and look at the adults.

“What a cute little alpha.” The doctor smiled and looked at Qiuqiu, “He won’t have a hard life.”

Shen Dai looked at the doctor seriously: “Qiuqiu and Mr. Qu are directly related by blood, so there should be more resonance in the pheromones.”

“Yes, that’s right. Mr. Qu had taken gland fluids in the hospital before, saying that he wanted to make an essential oil to soothe the child. It was fortunate that there was some storage and this gland fluid played a great role in the surgery.” The doctor flatteringly said, “This child is really Mr. Qu’s lucky star.”

Shen Dai didn’t bother to pay attention to his compliments and went straight to the topic: “How can Qiuqiu help him?”

“Although the pheromone connection of direct blood relation is very strong, it is more helpful for the ‘mark’ between AO.” 

Just as Shen Dai was about to speak, the doctor interrupted him: “I know thatMr. Shen has washed off the ‘mark’, but only the ‘mark’ on the body has been washed off. Psychologically, you have ‘marked’ each other forever. It is impossible to disappear. The connection between you will always exist  and you still have a great influence on each other, right?”

Qu Moyu nodded quickly: “Of course.”

Shen Dai frowned: “Doctor, what do you mean to say? “

“I mean, this child is too young. He has no self-consciousness and his gland function is far from developed. In fact, he can’t help Mr. Qu too much. The most important help is you.”

“I…”

“Rehabilitation is to wake up the damaged glands so that they can re-release pheromones, which will be assisted by drugs and equipment. But the most important thing is stimulation. Both physical and psychological stimulation so that the glands can be stimulated. Do you understand what I mean?”

Shen Dai’s expression changed slightly and he glanced at Qu Moyu.

Qu Moyu coughed lightly: “Ah Dai, listen to the doctor first.”

“So the interaction between husband and wife is very important. Mr. Shen, you need to release more of your pheromones to stimulate Mr. Qu’s glands, especially during your estrus period or Mr. Qu’s susceptible period. It will be very effective.”

Shen Dai pursed his lips. There was like a drum playing in his heart. Bang bang bang bang. At first glance, what he said made sense. But he somehow felt that something was not right. Pheromones did not only play a role in courtship. It regulates endocrine and physical fitness. It nurtures offspring. It helps with learning and competition. Pheromone is found in many places. But does it have to be so ‘stimulating’?

The doctor is still talking to him: “When Mr. Qu’s glands have some benign reactions, I suggest that he enter a susceptible period with drugs. During this period, it is best to try to ‘mark’ you. If the ‘marking’ is successful, it proves that his glands are completely…”

“Wait.” Shen Dai interrupted him and said blankly, “Doctor, you said so much but the main point is that sex can stimulate his glands the most, right?” 

The doctor’s smile was still professional and polite: “It’s not accurate enough. I mean, your emotional interaction stimulates his glands the most. Sex is just part of emotional expression.” He paused, “It’s very important.” 

Seeing the embarrassment and suspicion on Shen Dai’s face, Qu Moyu hurriedly said, “Parent-child interaction is also important.”

“Ah. Of course that too. But the effect is less than the other. The most important thing is the transmission of pheromones between husband and wife.”

Shen Dai turned to look at Qu Moyu. His eyes were clear and sharp. It was like if Qu Moyu would reveal the slightest flaw, he could tear off his facade on the spot.

But Qu Moyu looked very innocent: “You really stimulate me the most.”
