The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 35

Just to Use Her.

In the laboratory, two sets of incredibly complex three-dimensional DNA helix models rotated on the holographic screen.

One set belonged to Ji Tianheng herself, the other to Su Lian.

Ji Tianheng held her breath, watching intently as a third DNA model was gradually constructed.

Qin Chuan stood nearby, observing Ji Tianheng’s more tense-than-ever expression, not daring to make a sound either.

The central AI announced:

[Final comparison completed. Kinship analysis results as follows:]

[Genetic similarity between Sample A and Sample C meets the standard for Alpha mother and offspring relationship.]

[Genetic similarity between Sample B and Sample C meets the standard for Omega mother and offspring relationship.]

[Conclusion: Based on this DNA comparison, excluding special circumstances such as identical multiple births, close relatives, and external interference, Sample C (Shi Anzhi) is confirmed to be the biological daughter of Sample A and Sample B.]

A long silence fell over the laboratory.

Qin Chuan stared in shock at the conclusion on the screen, then at the completely frozen Ji Tianheng beside him.

It took Ji Tianheng a long time to regain her breath.

She actually had a child with Su Lian.

Su Lian had gone missing during that turmoil twenty-five years ago, and their daughter had survived safely until now.

“Tianheng…”

Qin Chuan watched his friend’s emotional state and called out with difficulty.

Ji Tianheng didn’t respond.

She gazed at Shi Anzhi’s DNA model on the screen, her heart filled with a tumult of emotions ecstasy, regret, the joy of recovery, pain.

After a long while, she managed to speak to Qin Chuan, “You should go out first.”

She needed to calm down.

Over thirty years ago.

She was very different back then having just taken over the family business, young and ambitious, yet sharp and aggressive.

She met Su Lian during a regularly held military exercise in the Special Zone.

During that exercise, the energy weapons provided by Tianheng Industries unexpectedly had compatibility issues, leading to a large-scale explosion. As the main person in charge, Ji Tianheng suffered multiple burns while covering her subordinates’ evacuation.

Su Lian was a doctoral student at the medical school responsible for medical support at the time and cared for her throughout the treatment period.

Su Lian was young and slender but possessed a courage that defied her Omega identity. After discovering Ji Tianheng in the fire, she quickly administered emergency treatment, preventing further harm.

Deeply frustrated by the accident, Ji Tianheng found burn injuries more tormenting than ordinary wounds with pus oozing, mobility impaired, and her skin in a dreadful state. The injuries spread to her face, nearly disfiguring her, and she refused any visitors during that period.

Under such circumstances, developing an attachment to Su Lian, who accompanied her day and night, was inevitable.

Su Lian herself was an enigma.

She emerged seemingly out of nowhere, a near-genius who had already made a name for herself in the empire’s biological genetics field during her university years, particularly excelling in the cutting-edge research areas of “neural regeneration” and “pheromone mental intervention.”

As they spent more time together, Su Lian told Ji Tianheng that she was an orphan. Without any birth records or personal information, her enrollment and research process in the Special Zone had once been fraught with difficulties. It was only due to her extraordinary talent that the dean of the medical school made a special exception, allowing her to enter the Special Zone.

After hearing this, Ji Tianheng told Su Lian that she no longer needed anyone’s approval from now on, she would permanently sponsor Su Lian’s research projects and even build an independent laboratory for her.

Su Lian merely smiled in response.

She was a few years older than Ji Tianheng and always carried a gentle, serene aura that made people curious to know more. Yet, upon even the slightest interaction with Su Lian, one would quickly discover the immense mental fortitude she possessed.

It didn’t take long for Ji Tianheng to realize she had fallen in love with this Omega.

Despite their stark differences.

Ji Tianheng was arrogant, domineering, and occasionally crude. The Ji family’s business was built on high-stakes, dangerous ventures, while Su Lian’s research focused on saving lives and healing the wounded.

Ji Tianheng’s pheromones were Thunderstorm, an exceptionally rare and dominant top-tier pheromone, perfectly suited to her status as the heir of the Ji family.

When angered, her pheromones could fill the air with high-voltage static electricity, crackling ominously, instilling in anyone of a lower rank the fear of an impending storm.

In her youth, she had grown accustomed to using her pheromones to intimidate others, sometimes even releasing them just for amusement, enjoying the sight of weaker individuals trembling in fear.

After meeting Su Lian, Ji Tianheng realized how much Su Lian despised such behavior in Alphas, so she gradually restrained herself.

Su Lian’s pheromones were like the ocean cool, vast, and capable of soothing any restlessness.

Only in Su Lian’s presence would Ji Tianheng retract all her thunderous energy, like a tamed beast, drowning in the tranquil sea that brought her peace.

Su Lian was like an angel who had descended from the heavens.

They loved each other but had never considered having children.

Su Lian’s health was fragile, and given her constitution, pregnancy could have cost both her and the child their lives. They had always taken precautions.

Not having children was fine, they could always adopt one later and pretend it was Su Lian’s own, deceiving the elders of the Ji family. That child would still become the sole heir of the Ji family.

But now, as Ji Tianheng stared at the genetic comparison report on the screen.

Su Lian actually had a child. How was that possible.

A’Lian, what exactly did you go through during that chaos?

Did this unexpected child disrupt your escape plan? Did you sacrifice yourself to protect the child…?

Just the thought of it sent a chill down Ji Tianheng’s spine, and the faint surprise in her heart was quickly replaced by a deeper sense of self-blame.

She even felt a trace of resentment.

Was it because of the child’s appearance that Su Lian’s health deteriorated…? The moment this thought surfaced, she was overwhelmed with self-loathing.

Blaming an innocent child for her own pain was nothing but weakness.

For a while, Ji Tianheng found it difficult to face this reality and stood alone in the laboratory for a long, long time.

By the next afternoon, having somewhat composed herself, she decided to go see Shi Anzhi. If Su Lian knew that she had inadvertently allowed their child to participate in two boxing matches, she would surely be furious.

However, on her way to the Meltdown Arena, she received a report from

Ji Tianheng let out a deep sigh and instructed her assistant to attempt locating Shi Anzhi.

Half a minute later, the assistant responded.

[President Ji, there’s a situation.]

[Miss Shi’s personal terminal signal, along with all her medical records and identity information, vanished from the empire’s public database an hour ago. We can’t pinpoint her exact location now.]

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianheng almost laughed in disbelief.

In her eyes, Shen Hong was a cunning fool, while his daughter, Shen Tingxue, was slightly more tolerable though she had always despised the Shen family.

But when had this little girl become as foolish as her father?

Without even needing to order further tracking, she knew that such a level of information shielding could only be achieved by a few entities in the entire Special Zone aside from the Ji family and the military, perhaps only Shen Tingxue’s newly formed hacker team could pull it off.

With a quick guess, Ji Tianheng surmised that Shi Anzhi was either at Sheng’an Hospital, which Shen Tingxue fully controlled, or somewhere within the Shen residence.

With an impending marriage alliance with the Governor’s Mansion, the wisest move for Shen Tingxue would be to cut ties with her lover. Yet, not only had she failed to do so, but she had also resorted to such a clumsy method to hide her.

It seemed Shen Tingxue had lost her senses over Shi Anzhi.

Recalling how Shen Tingxue had arrogantly rejected her invitation on Shi Anzhi’s behalf the day before, Ji Tianheng found it darkly amusing.

She was no old-fashioned traditionalist, she respected all forms of relationships. But Shen Hong had stolen her wife’s patents, and now Shen Tingxue wanted to treat her daughter as some shameful secret lover.

This father and daughter truly shared the same despicable nature.

Ji Tianheng ordered her own team to attempt a breach, seeing it as a chance to gauge the capabilities of Shen Tingxue’s hacker team.

Over the next few days, Ji Tianheng put her work on hold, only making a brief appearance when she had no choice but to attend a banquet.

Qin Chuan was there that day.

Much younger than Ji Tianheng, he had never met Su Lian but was well aware that Ji Tianheng had been in a foul mood lately.

And when Ji Tianheng was in a bad mood, trouble often followed.

Noticing the dark circles under her eyes, he cautiously probed, “Tianheng, our informant in the Governor’s Mansion reported that another test subject died in the Shen family’s lab. Shen Hong was so furious he nearly tore the place apart.”

“The situation favors us now. Our K11 is at least stable, its superiority was already demonstrated in the Furnace battle. What does the Shen family even amount to?”

Ji Tianheng listened to the flattery and smiled faintly.

“On the surface, yes. But the Shen family’s lab is like a fortress, our people can’t infiltrate it. We have no idea what their real progress is.”

Qin Chuan shrugged it off. “Shen Hong’s report to the Governor’s Mansion mentioned it’s a stabilizer issue. They’ve gone through several generations and still can’t get it right.”

“Do you really think what Shen Hong reported to Jiang Wei reflects the truth?” she reminded him. “Maybe even Shen Hong himself doesn’t know what’s really happening in that lab.”

Qin Chuan mulled it over. “Are you suggesting Shen Tingxue has her own agenda?”

In no mood to elaborate, Ji Tianheng remained silent.

The Shen family’s current bottleneck was the stabilizer. If they succeeded in developing one, their overall strength would likely surpass that of K11.

As for the means to develop the stabilizer.

Suddenly, Ji Tianheng stiffened, grasping at a faint, elusive suspicion.

There was something she had overlooked for the moment.

During her most intimate moments with Su Lian, Ji Tianheng had repeatedly sensed a powerful aura, one that could even overshadow Su Lian’s pheromones and guide her on a spiritual level.

Once, after a battle, Ji Tianheng fell into a frenzied sensitive period. She locked herself in her office, nearly torn apart by the destructive impulses raging inside her.

At the critical moment, it was Su Lian who rushed in.

She didn’t use inhibitors or any medication.

She simply held Ji Tianheng and released her own pheromones. Ji Tianheng felt a gentle spiritual energy envelop her like a tide.

That power continuously tried to guide her, gradually transforming her aggressive thoughts into tranquility.

At that time, the political situation in the empire was far more complicated than it is now, and the Ji family was nowhere near as powerful as it is today.

The former governor was exceptionally brutal and would never tolerate such uncontrollable power. If outsiders had discovered Su Lian’s unique pheromones, she would likely have been captured and dissected for research.

To prevent this, Su Lian had developed a drug to weaken the concentration of her pheromones even before meeting Ji Tianheng.

The drug made her already faint pheromones even more subtle so subtle they were almost undetectable and eliminated the possibility of involuntary pheromone leakage.

When Su Lian confessed everything to her lover, she even joked to comfort herself, “This is for the best. Fewer clueless Alphas will bother me. Even if people mistake me for disabled, it’s better than being treated as a monster and taken away for research.”

At that time, Ji Tianheng was wholly devoted to Su Lian. “With me here, who would dare harass you?”

Ji Tianheng closed her eyes, her entire body stiff and cold.

She recalled the final scene of the boxing match, how K11 miraculously calmed down in the presence of Shi Anzhi’s pheromones. Shi Anzhi’s so-called disability was not underdevelopment at all; it was undoubtedly inherited from Su Lian.

Due to their limited understanding, most people at the scene assumed that Ji Tianheng had manipulated things behind the scenes.

In reality, Shi Anzhi had inherently inherited this terrifying ability.

A horrifying thought surfaced in Ji Tianheng’s mind.

Over the past few days, she hadn’t urged her subordinates to speed up breaking through the shielding set by Shen Tingxue. Partly because she felt hesitant as she approached her long-lost daughter, and partly because she knew her daughter was likely deeply in love with Shen Tingxue and might even be content with being “kept in a golden cage.”

If she intervened rashly, she feared Shi Anzhi would resent her.

But perhaps she had been mistaken.

The Shen family had built their fortune on biological genetics and excelled in related research. Shen Tingxue, a genius in biology herself was she hiding Shi Anzhi merely out of affection?

Or had Shen Tingxue also discovered this secret and was exploiting her daughter?

Ji Tianheng’s chest heaved with agitation. Without bothering to explain anything to Qin Chuan, she swiftly issued two separate orders to different departments of the Ji family.

To the Ji family’s hacking team, she gave an ultimatum: I don’t care what methods you use, you must succeed within twelve hours.

The other command was even more extreme everything she had done before had been too gentle.

Ji Tianheng ordered her guard team: Bring me several core researchers from the Shen family’s Laboratory 7. Use money, use power, if that doesn’t work, use force. If torture fails, consider extracting information after inducing brain death. I need to know the true nature of every project in that laboratory.

The captain of the guard said fearfully, “Chief Ji, the core researchers of the Shen family’s Laboratory 7 all hold significant status. Their families wield considerable influence in the special zone. Taking such action could provoke immense public backlash.”

Ji Tianheng let out a scornful laugh.

[“Do you think I fear that? Carry it out.”]
