Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

Perhaps because of the company-wide physical examination, the company informed us that we could go to lunch at 11 o'clock.

Shi Ran happily went downstairs right on time.

After he left, Gu Chen was left alone in the office, and he made a phone call.

A respectful middle-aged male voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Gu, we have a preliminary conclusion. We did detect residual alpha pheromones in his glandular secretions. We cannot rule out the possibility of temporary labeling, however..."

Gu Chen's eyes instantly turned cold. "But what?"

"However, it doesn't seem to be a recent record; it's at least a year old."

A year ago? So, the two years that Shi Ran disappeared from sight, were she with Fu Yanshen?

Did Fu Yanshen appear in Bali only for the Black Shield project, or... is he still hung up on Shi Ran?

Moreover, given Fu Yanshen's personality, how could he possibly just temporarily mark Shi Ran?

Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds before asking the most crucial question.

"Is there any way to wash it off? I mean, without damaging his glands."

Director Li's voice was filled with difficulty: "President Gu, traditional mark removal, regardless of the method used, will cause structural damage to the glands..."

"Just because the past is blank doesn't mean we can't try now."

Gu Chen interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument, "I need a judgment based on top-tier professional knowledge. Please have your dean personally evaluate it."

"Dean Wen is currently attending a summit abroad and will be able to return next week..."

"Contact him. Resources are not an issue; I just need the safest solution."

They could see Huanyu's determination about this matter and finally relented.

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

Gu Chen gave a low "hmm" and hung up the phone decisively.

Director Li put down the phone, his face full of worry as he scratched his already thinning hair.

"Isn't this putting me in a difficult position? The hospital director hasn't handled hospital affairs for a long time, how am I supposed to bring this up... The key is that this case is just too bizarre!"

Just then, the office door was gently pushed open.

Director Li looked up in surprise, and his eyes widened instantly when he saw who it was.

"Dean?! Why are you back ahead of schedule?"

A tall and slender man stood at the door.

He was wearing a soft, light camel-colored turtleneck sweater, a dark gray cashmere coat, and a Loewe check scarf casually draped over his arm.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses were warm and smiling, giving him an air of refined gentleness and scholarly elegance.

The visitor was Wen Yiheng, the dean of Fuya Medical.

He walked in with a smile, casually hanging his coat and scarf on the hanger behind the door with elegant and composed movements.

"The meeting ended early. I heard you took on a tricky case? Was it sent by Huanyu?"

Director Li nodded vigorously, as if he had seen a savior.

"Yes, yes, yes! Dean, you've come back just in time! It was President Gu from Huanyu who personally instructed us to investigate an Omega's pheromone levels."

Director Li immediately handed over the examination report, and Wen Yiheng asked casually, "Omega?"

His fingers, long and clean, moved slowly and deliberately as he flipped through the papers. "That's quite rare," he remarked.

"Yes, this Omega's pheromones are also quite unique; they smell like fig. President Gu seems to care about him a lot..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the dean abruptly stop flipping through the papers.

That ever-gentle and composed smile was frozen on his face.

Wen Yiheng's gaze was fixed on the ID photo. The young man in the photo had clean features, and was handsome and unrestrained.

He abruptly looked up at Director Li, his usually steady voice trembling slightly, "You're saying he's an Omega?"

Director Li hesitated for a moment. How could he possibly get such a basic question wrong?

"Yes, all the indicators clearly show that he is an Omega, and his differentiation is very complete. There's no mistake about it."

"What about his medical history? Has he had any surgeries?"

While achieving the conversion from Omega to Beta through precise surgical removal or suppression of glands is difficult with current medical technology, there are already successful precedents.

However, the reverse transformation turns a Beta who is born without mature glands into a fully differentiated Omega.

This is simply a fantasy!

Wen Yiheng knew, of course, that was impossible.

He is a leading expert in this field; his doctoral dissertation was on the irreversibility of glandular differentiation, and he understands the absolute barriers involved better than anyone else.

That's precisely why he found it even more incomprehensible and shocking.

Countless times, in moments of passion, he would bite the nape of the neck of the person beneath him, whispering, "Baby, if only you were an Omega, you could belong to me completely..."

But now, you're telling him that Shi Ran suddenly became a fully differentiated Omega?

This is ridiculous.

Wen Yiheng took a deep breath and closed the medical examination booklet in her hand.

He needs to calm down, he absolutely must calm down.

He stood up, his face now bearing his usual gentle smile. "This case is very special. I will personally take charge of it. Thank you for your initial screening."

"Really, Dean?" Director Li's face lit up with joy, and he immediately asked, "Then... can I also join the research group? After all, this clinical case is unprecedented..."

Although the dean in front of him was a few years younger than him, he had personally witnessed Wen Yiheng's brilliance at the international medical forum.

Back then, Wen Yiheng won first prize with her groundbreaking research on gland regeneration technology, becoming the youngest professor at Y University.

After leaving school, he founded the now-famous Fuya Medical.

Being able to conduct research under Wen Yiheng is the dream of countless medical professionals.

Wen Yiheng chuckled and nodded, reverting to her usual gentle demeanor. "Of course, you are an authority in this field, Director Li."

He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Director Li before returning to his office on the top floor.

The heavy solid wood door closed behind us, isolating us from the outside world.

Wen Yiheng did not turn on the lights and walked straight to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window was a bustling city night scene, with cars and neon lights flashing, but he ignored it.

He just stood there, motionless.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he dialed the number on the medical examination form.

Beep beep...

The receiver emitted a steady beeping sound, each beep like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

His fingers tightened unconsciously.

He was terrified that the person who answered the phone was indeed Shi Ran, but he was even more afraid that it would be a completely unfamiliar voice.

Just when he was about to give up, the call was answered.

A slightly hesitant yet familiar voice came from the other end, a voice that made his heart stop: "Hello?"

Wen Yiheng's eyes instantly reddened.

His throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Afraid the other person would hang up, he hurriedly spoke, his voice so hoarse it was almost unrecognizable: "Excuse me... are you Mr. Shi Ran?"

His voice was trembling, and his arms and whole body were shaking involuntarily.

I had to lean against the wall to steady my body, which was almost out of control.

It really happens sometimes.

It was his Shiran who returned.
