CHAPTER 8 1/2

Within eleven words, there are four words that are fabricated, indicating the likely concealment of other information.

Cen Lang instructed the use of big data to compare the faces of caregivers. If a caregiver dares to let the camera capture their entire face, it may not be genuine.

“Separate and compare facial features.”

“Find another team of forensic experts, search the underground with strong lights, and produce a report as soon as possible.”

“Zhou Qing, how long do you need on your end?”

Zhou Qing looked awkward. The appearance of such a suspicious spy in such a high-profile manner after only two days with Mr. Cen undoubtedly indicates significant motives. Tracking through the network is the fastest, but this time she encountered a bit of trouble.

She spoke truthfully, “Uncertain; I can only confirm it is a local signal.”

This is nonsense. Being able to promptly arrive and save the day after being outsourced through multiple layers certainly implies proximity. Perhaps lurking by Mr. Cen’s side, waiting for the right moment.

“Moreover, there is no sign indicating that fifty thousand is the final outsourcing layer. It may still be possible offline. A person with both hacking and medical knowledge is highly unlikely. Either there is still outsourcing, or there is a team.”

Bodyguard Wang Wang was stunned. If fifty thousand more were outsourced, how much money would be left?

Wouldn’t that be lower than a bodyguard’s salary? Oh no, they get paid daily. But the risk is hundreds of times higher than that of a bodyguard.

Wang Wang concluded that the other party wasn’t after money; there seemed to be a love-hate relationship with Mr. Cen.

Well, he is a loyal and unwavering bodyguard. How could he understand this?

After listening, Cen Lang understood that the possibility Zhou Qing found is not high; the other party may have already physically destroyed the evidence.

“Do not announce my recovery from the storm syndrome for now.”

Learning that he might lose control, some branches of the Cen family are eager to move. This time, let them jump to their hearts’ content.

Leave a tail; maybe it can lead to another caregiver on a mission.

As for the Lin family, a trace of coldness flashed in Cen Lang’s eyes. He had tried countless pheromones, all tested and presented to him. The first time an Omega brought pheromones himself, they were placated inside.

The Lin family knew his taboo and deliberately violated it. Cen Lang also made a mistake, misjudging the usefulness of Lin Lu’s pheromones, leading to the Lin family having the opportunity to cause trouble.

He could overlook the Lin family finding a stand-in to deceive him, but if the Lin family found a stand-in and then silenced them, it could go straight to the court of judgment.

“Let’s go back to the old mansion.”

Cen Lang had just stepped out of the ward when he saw his grandfather rushing over.

Cen Wei has hardly slept these days. Cen Lang’s pheromones were out of control, and besides the military’s close attention, there were people who thought they could “take over” from Cen Wei, all blocking the Cen family these days.

Although Cen Wei was called the old man, he was only 99 years old. In the interstellar era, he only entered middle age at 80, and there were only a few silver hairs on his head.

“Grandpa, you’ve worked hard.” Cen Lang glanced at the few more silver hairs at the side of the old man’s temples.

“How are you? Is Lin Lu’s pheromone useful?” Cen Wei has been looking for higher matching pheromones these days, wanting to use a pheromone collider to calculate the matching rate. There are only a few globally, all locked in laboratories, and the Cen family has one exclusively.

“I’m fine. Let’s talk specifically when we get home.”

Cen Wei heard the promise of significant benefits. Making Lin Lu promise to go in and take care of Cen Lang was a move in the right direction.

Cen Lang rejected marriage with Lin Lu, each taking what they needed. However, in times of crisis, two days should be enough to cultivate feelings, right? Can we proceed with the wedding?

After hearing the old man’s thoughts, Cen Lang said, “Can money buy sincerity?”

Cen Wei hummed, “As long as the money is enough, the heart is sincere enough. You have to be a good head of the Cen family, and he will be completely devoted.”

Just then, the door of the adjacent room suddenly banged. Lin’s mother heard Cen Wei’s voice and seized the opportunity to knock on the door like a savior. “Old Mr. Cen! Our Lin Lu is here!”

Cen Wei frowned. “Open the door. Why did your kid lock Lin Lu inside? We can’t have people at Cen’s acting unscrupulously.”

Before Cen Lang could explain, Cen Wei ordered the bodyguards to release Lin Lu.

Lin’s mother rushed out, and it was clear she wanted to cry and complain to Cen Wei. However, Cen Lang looked at her with a faint smile, and she was afraid. With tears on her face, she said, “Our little deer made a mistake. He has been pampered since childhood, and it’s our fault for not letting him suffer.”

Cen Wei interrupted, “Didn’t you promise that Cen Lang would let him suffer? Wasn’t that your own decision?”

Lin’s mother paused for a moment and said, “Considering the usefulness of Lin Lu’s pheromones to the Cen family, please withdraw the reward. I know Mr. Cen is joking with us, but Little Lu is timid. He won’t dare to leave the house in the future.”

Lin Lu hadn’t come out yet, shrinking in place. For some reason, he suddenly disliked every word his mother said for his good, but she always treated him as a pawn.

Cen Wei frowned, not understanding the reward, and looked at Cen Lang, waiting for an explanation.

Cen Lang smiled and said, “Mrs. Lin, don’t speak ill of others without evidence. I would face a military tribunal if I hired someone to kill.”

Lin’s mother just wanted Cen Lang to retract his promise. Who knew he would play tai chi, making her extremely anxious?

She hadn’t realized that she had already violated the law.

Cen Lang signaled to the bodyguard with his eyes, and the captain loudly said, “Mrs. Lin, you accuse Mr. Cen without evidence, but you intend to destroy the evidence. Take her away and hand her over to the investigation bureau. The other two, please assist in the investigation!”

Mrs. Lin widened her eyes and panicked, “Little Lu, quickly plead with Mr. Cen and save Mom!”

Lin Lu shrank, afraid to approach.

Mrs. Lin screamed Lin Lu’s name, but he did not respond at all. His expression gradually became malicious, cursing him as an ungrateful child.

She never understood why Cen Lang suddenly didn’t want Lin Lu’s pheromones anymore, seizing the last straw and shouting, “If Lin Lu dies, don’t regret it!”

She was hinting at her son to force him to die.

But no one paid attention to her.

The sanatorium had never been so noisy since its establishment. Cen Wei watched in confusion, but he believed in his grandson and remained silent.

Lin’s father tried to lower his presence. Finding a substitute was his idea. Compared to his wife’s desire to let his son take care of Cen Lang, he had some crooked ideas.

Similarly, his “crooked ideas” caused the Lin family’s company to decline, with poor product quality and no one buying. Without the Cen family as a backing, they would soon be eliminated and bankrupted by the interstellar currents.

Before Lin Lu was taken away, he looked back at Cen Lang and asked, “My pheromones are useless, right?”

Cen Lang did not answer.

Lin Lu understood. Sure enough, that day in the restaurant, it was just an illusion of the calming agent.

Cen Wei’s eyes sharpened. “I told you about the taboo!”

Lin Lu said, “The soothing agent was given to my mother by a mysterious person. He said it could increase the probability.”

If they hadn’t been so greedy from the beginning,.

Lin’s father pulled his son and quickened his pace. Even if they went to the investigation bureau, it was better than staying in the sanatorium. With a dangerous character like Cen Lang, displeasure could make them lose their lives with pheromones. Why bother talking?

When they stepped out of the sanatorium in a hurry, away from the dangerous person Cen Lang, he suddenly remembered the ten million reward, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He felt like every car on the road was rushing towards them. His legs trembled, and he sweated profusely.

“Quick, let’s go to the investigation bureau.” Lin’s father surprisingly urged the bodyguard.

Suddenly, a taxi screeched to a halt, and the sharp sound of brakes echoed.
