After Becoming a Scummy Alpha, I Met the Reborn Omega - Chapter 36

The recording was postponed, so Lin Changsheng and Mo Zhaoyan returned to their work. The data for the new inhibitor had already been adjusted; all that remained now was for the clinical trials to proceed smoothly.

With this part of his work wrapping up, Lin Changsheng turned his full attention to Wen Lier’s condition. Previously, the medication Wen Lier had been taking was quite stable. However, since Lin Changsheng’s return, that medication had been cut off. He didn’t know where the original supply had come from, which led to Wen Lier’s situation becoming unstable once again.

From the remaining formula found on his computer, Lin Changsheng realized that without the Red Changsheng Flower as an ingredient, he couldn’t recreate the drug for the time being. When he ran into Mo Zhaoran again at the company, it was obvious that Wen Lier’s worsening health had driven a wedge between them — the fragile bond they had been building was temporarily broken.

Mo Zhaoran had quietly started thinking about collaborating with Hua Miaomiao, but Lin Changsheng firmly stopped her. Mo Zhaoran was too pure-hearted, and Lin Changsheng didn’t want her falling prey to Hua Miaomiao, that cunning old fox.

To make sure she stayed away, he spoke more seriously about the situation. After all, Mo Zhaoran’s heart was still loyal to her elder sister. She had only been anxious because of Wen Lier’s condition. Now, after listening to Lin Changsheng’s advice, she realized that she couldn’t risk destroying everything her sister had worked so hard to build. Plus, with Lin Changsheng promising to find a way to treat Wen Lier, she finally agreed to back down — at least for now.

Even so, this only made Lin Changsheng more desperate to find the Red Changsheng Flower. According to the official records, after he had successfully developed the Blue Changsheng Flower, the authorities had destroyed the Red Flower’s foundations. The Red Changsheng Flower had a tendency to cause people to lose control, making it dangerous in most cases.

But for someone like Wen Lier — who couldn’t complete her differentiation because of a severe pheromone deficiency — that kind of “loss of control” could actually work as a treatment, helping to stimulate and replace the missing pheromones in her body.

Unfortunately, the Red Changsheng Flower was nowhere to be found on the open market anymore. Other than through the black market, only a few experimental labs were secretly studying it — and Lin Changsheng was certain that the Hua Yang Group was involved. After all, this had always been their area of expertise.

Should he cooperate with Hua Miaomiao?

Lin Changsheng hesitated. He couldn’t see through Hua Miaomiao’s true intentions, and trusting her felt even more dangerous than trusting the black market. If he had to choose, he would rather spend a fortune buying what he needed than risk getting caught in her schemes.

Meanwhile, Xingyun had been quietly observing everything from inside Lin Changsheng’s body. She was bored out of her mind. Lin Changsheng was too calm and too methodical — if he didn’t experience any emotional fluctuations, would she ever have a chance to appear?

Determined to speed things up and help Lin Changsheng recover his memories, Xingyun decided to give him a small hint. After all, it would benefit her too.

“You should go check out this place,” she suddenly said.

Her voice caught Lin Changsheng off guard. It was rare for Xingyun to speak to him on her own initiative — and even rarer for her tone to be so calm. He glanced at the address she provided but found it completely unfamiliar. “Where is this?” he asked.

“It’s your secret research base,” Xingyun replied lightly. “Some things just aren’t convenient to handle right under Mo Zhaoyan’s nose. You needed a place where you could keep some secrets.”

She had said “your” secret base. Strangely, Lin Changsheng didn’t argue with her this time. Maybe he was starting to get used to the way Xingyun expressed herself. In the past, he had always tried to distance himself from his original self — but lately, under Xingyun’s subtle influence, a strange new feeling had started to stir inside him.

She didn’t dare dig deeper, nor did she dare think too much about it. However, she no longer argued with Xingyun.

Lin Changsheng applied for half a day off. Technically, she didn’t need to — the company had granted her authority second only to Mo Zhaoyan. She could come and go freely without notifying anyone. Still, she chose to follow the proper procedures. Every time she left the company, someone would inform Tang Ying, who would then relay the information to Mo Zhaoyan.

Although Mo Zhaoyan had assigned people to keep an eye on her, she didn’t want to restrain Lin Changsheng too tightly. She had simply instructed Tang Ying to arrange someone to follow her discreetly.

Unfortunately, the people Tang Ying assigned weren’t particularly skilled. Halfway through the trip, Lin Changsheng realized she was being tailed. Were they Hua Miaomiao’s people? Or Mo Zhaoyan’s?

White Qin’s words still echoed in her ears — Mo Zhaoyan had been investigating her too. Why should spouses need to doubt each other? What exactly was Mo Zhaoyan trying to find out? And during that secret meeting on the island, who had Mo Zhaoyan met in secret? Why had she hidden it from her?

Mo Zhaoyan had her secrets, and Lin Changsheng had hers too. That was why she didn’t dare to ask — she was afraid Mo Zhaoyan would ask her questions in return. Lin Changsheng wasn’t ready to answer those questions, so she chose to stay silent.

She believed that this secret base might hold answers — it might help her solve some of the doubts swirling in her mind. On a sudden impulse, she made a sharp turn at an intersection, then sped up and drove in loops, skillfully shaking off her tail.

The people following her had underestimated her. It was their first day on the job, and they had already lost her. Panicking, they immediately called Tang Ying.

Tang Ying was furious when she heard the news. If her top agents hadn’t been reassigned to protect Mo Zhaoyan, she would never have needed to use these amateurs.

“I’m sorry, President Mo. We lost her,” Tang Ying reported apologetically. “I’ll go after her myself.”

Mo Zhaoyan simply waved her hand and said, “Forget it. She’s entitled to her private time.”

Although Mo Zhaoyan let it go easily, Tang Ying still felt deeply guilty. After stepping away, she noticed a message from Hua Miaomiao, asking her out. Tang Ying couldn’t help but wonder if she had gotten too relaxed lately. Without hesitation, she replied: “Let’s not meet for now.”

And then — she blocked Hua Miaomiao.

Yes, Tang Ying was that decisive. It wasn’t the first time she had blocked her. In fact, their relationship had always followed the same pattern: Tang Ying would reach out, then block Hua Miaomiao for a while, then reach out again.

Eventually, they grew closer, and Hua Miaomiao even started taking the initiative. But now, just when everything seemed fine, Tang Ying had blocked her again.

At that moment, Hua Miaomiao had just finished showering, feeling carefree and relaxed. She was half-dressed, lying lazily on a bed covered with rose petals, ready to invite Tang Ying out for some fun — only to discover she had been blocked.

If this had happened back when their relationship wasn’t so close, Hua Miaomiao might not have cared. But now? She hadn’t even done anything to upset Tang Ying — so why had she been blocked?

Frustrated and unwilling to accept it, Hua Miaomiao threw on her clothes and immediately called one of her subordinates.

“Find me an event where we can properly collaborate with Mo Zhaoyan,” she said coldly. “Something official.”

Blocked me, huh?
Fine — I’ll come straight to your turf and drag you out myself.

Meanwhile, after shaking off her tail, Lin Changsheng arrived smoothly at the so-called secret base — only to find that it was nothing more than a vast, empty lot.

Puzzled, she got out of the car, ready to question Xingyun about what kind of “base” this was supposed to be.

Just then, a loud mechanical rumble echoed across the ground, followed by a robotic voice announcement:
“Presence of Master detected. Base is rising. Please stand by.”

The barren ground suddenly shifted. A massive platform began to rise from beneath the earth, like a giant elevator. In front of Lin Changsheng stood a towering metal gate, three or four meters high.

A camera mounted on the door scanned a beam of light across her body, pausing for a few seconds.
“Identity confirmed. Opening main gate.”

Lin Changsheng stared in shock at the display of futuristic technology — it felt like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. She stepped through the gate and into a space roughly the size of a large room — a square chamber that looked exactly like an elevator, with a control button on the side.

She pressed the button, and the giant doors closed behind her. The elevator began to descend.

As it moved downward, the metal walls suddenly turned transparent. Lin Changsheng gasped — she could see the vast structure hidden underground.

Layer upon layer of research labs, power facilities, and teams of scientists in white coats came into view. There had to be at least a hundred researchers here. Lin Changsheng realized she was standing above a secret research base that rivaled even Mo Corporation’s facilities.

Her private elevator took her directly to the lowest level — an area off-limits to anyone but her.

Stepping out, Lin Changsheng found herself in a long, sterile hallway lined with white walls. At the very end was a massive room, and in the center stood a strange machine: a constantly spinning sphere, projecting streams of experimental data into the air above it.

Lin Changsheng approached cautiously, staring at the data projections in awe.
The information displayed here was far more complete — and updated in real-time — compared to anything stored at Mo Corporation.

As she drew closer, the sphere seemed to sense her presence.

“Welcome back, Master,” a soft voice said.

Although modern technology had already reached the age of artificial intelligence, it was obvious that this machine was far more advanced than anything outside.

Instinctively, Lin Changsheng placed her hand on the surface of the sphere. More data projections bloomed around her. She could easily flip through the layers of information with simple gestures, almost as if it were second nature.

It felt completely natural to her — as if she herself had designed this machine.

As Lin Changsheng browsed through the records, she uncovered the laboratory’s core research: the cure for the semi-differentiation problem had already been developed.
But… why hadn’t her former self given Wen Lier the finished drug? Instead, she had only provided a half-completed version.

Was it to control Wen Lier — and through her, control Zhou Yiyi?

Lin Changsheng’s lab had never lacked the Red Changsheng Flower. After all, she was the one who had originally discovered both the Blue and Red variants. She had deliberately prevented others from researching the Red Changsheng Flower, all while secretly continuing her own studies.

A chill ran down Lin Changsheng’s spine when she uncovered another report.
It detailed how increasing the proportion of Blue Changsheng Flower in the new inhibitor could cause a dangerous interaction with the Red Changsheng Flower. The primary cause of the side effects was linked to inferior genetic sequences — though the exact mechanism was unclear.
At critical concentrations, the Red Changsheng Flower’s side effects could become fatal.

Lin Changsheng remembered that the new inhibitor she had developed indeed had a higher concentration of Blue Changsheng Flower. That was why she had been constantly adjusting the proportions afterward.
But now she realized — had she done all of this intentionally?

The thought terrified her. It felt as if her future self had planned everything long ago.

Up until now, she had believed the system’s claim that all the dark deeds were the fault of Xingyun, the so-called “original self.”
But lately, under the influence of Xingyun’s lingering memories and emotions, Lin Changsheng could no longer completely deny the truth:

This was her world.
These were her choices.
This was her future.

With a swipe of her hand, Lin Changsheng summoned an old, partially burnt report she recognized immediately — the same half-burnt document she had once found in her own room.

But this time, it wasn’t just one report.
There were three reports, each from a different time.

The first read:

Lin Changsheng: According to instrument detection, there is an 80% probability of differentiation into Omega, with a genetic grade above B.

The second:

Lin Changsheng: According to instrument detection, there is a 99% probability of differentiation into Omega, with a genetic grade above A.

The third:

Lin Changsheng: According to instrument detection, there is a 100% probability of differentiation into Alpha, but with inferior genetic quality.
