The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 36.2

Shi Anzhi recalled the thought she once had of directly eliminating Jiang Qi. She hadn’t yet shared this idea with Shen Tingxue and wondered how she would react.

She hoped Shen Tingxue would respond as quickly and affirmatively as she had when Shi Anzhi openly declared her intent to kill Ding Sha.

That moment, even now, sent a shiver through her soul.

For now, Shi Anzhi restrained herself and said, “When you return, I have something to tell you.”

Shen Tingxue met Shi Anzhi’s gaze and, after a long moment, softly acknowledged with an “Mm.”

Once aboard the aircraft, away from Shi Anzhi’s comforting pheromones, Shen Tingxue’s dizziness returned.

She endured it, thinking of Bai Yue’s urgent message. It was strange, why was Ji Tianheng going to such great lengths to find Shi Anzhi? Just to invite him to work?

Shen Tingxue found it utterly illogical.

Yet, for the moment, she couldn’t figure out what connection Shi Anzhi might have with Ji Tianheng.

Just then, Bai Yue sent another message.

[Miss, their offensive is too fierce. I’m sorry, but we really can’t hold out much longer.]

[Bai Yue, hold on as long as you can. Sacrifice a few data nodes if you have to, just buy us some time.]

Ji Tianheng’s security team was exceptionally efficient.

She didn’t even have time to put on a show by attending the memorial service. As soon as she learned that the team had captured a core researcher, she rushed over immediately.

Tianheng Industries, underground interrogation room.

As a core researcher of the Shen family, He Rui was considered a person of some standing. The team leader hadn’t sent him to the blood-soaked interrogation room reserved for serious criminals but had arranged for him to be in the silent room.

The silent room had no unnecessary furnishings. The walls absorbed most of the light and sound, and an interrogation chair was fixed in the center of the floor.

A tall, thin Beta man was trembling slightly, restrained in that chair.

Half an hour ago, he had been leisurely showering in his upscale apartment. Out of nowhere, several figures in black combat suits had appeared like ghosts in his room.

He was a researcher, familiar with countless drugs that could kill a person instantly, but he was powerless to resist and was taken away before he could even react.

Now, Ji Tianheng slowly emerged from the darkness.

“Dr. He?”

Normally, she couldn’t be bothered to conduct interrogations herself, but this matter concerned Shi Anzhi, and she was genuinely curious.

“Ji… Ji Tianheng.”

The moment He Rui saw her, he was terrified out of his wits, his teeth chattering. “This, this is kidnapping! It’s illegal.”

Ji Tianheng smiled. “In this place, what I say is the law.”

She walked up to He Rui, looking down at him as if he were an ant that could be crushed at will.

“Since you’re here, you know what I want to ask, don’t you?”

“Don’t waste each other’s time. Tell me, besides those self-destructing pieces of junk, what else is your Lab 7 researching?”

“I don’t know! I don’t know anything!”

He Rui shook his head in terror.

If he leaked the lab’s secrets, his career would be over. Shen Tingxue had always treated him well.

“Is that so?”

Ji Tianheng wasn’t surprised and didn’t bother to say more.

She gestured to her assistant, who stepped forward and played several recordings.

The first showed He Rui in a frenzied state gambling at an underground casino. The second was a communication record of him illegally trading drugs with a black-market doctor from District R.

After the recordings ended, a heavy blow struck He Rui’s psychological defenses.

His face turned from fearful to deathly pale.

“Ji Tianheng…”

The assistant spoke: “Dr. He, let’s talk terms now. Tell us everything you know, and in return, the Ji family will help you repay your nine-million debt.”

“Moreover, we’ll give you something Shen Tingxue can’t.”

“The position of chief researcher at the Li family, with an annual salary of fifty million credits, plus 0.1% of the original shares in Li’s Prosthetic Technology.”

“What do you say, Dr. He?”

These conditions were utterly insane, yet compared to enduring immense pressure at the Shen family laboratory, they were far more tolerable. Besides, he was already here if he refused to talk, he might not even make it out alive.

After hesitating for a long time, He Rui finally gave a slight nod. “I can tell you a little.”

Ji Tianheng lifted his eyelids at these words.

So easily? It was almost laughable how effortlessly he had given in.

That girl from the Shen family was still too green unable to read people clearly and not ruthless enough.

In the past, she had sat back and watched others fight, staying attentive to the undercurrents of the political landscape but always resisting the struggle for the core of power deep down.

Now, with a daughter in the picture, she had somehow abruptly shifted from her detached, game-like attitude and started considering things more carefully.

“President Ji, he has agreed. How should we proceed?”

Ji Tianheng replied, “Since he’s willing to talk voluntarily, wouldn’t it be easier to extract his consciousness after brain death?”

The assistant was momentarily stunned before responding, “I understand.”

To betray an employer so readily for the lure of money and power, a disloyal dog would never be loyal anywhere. A mere fallen noble was someone she could afford to offend.

She delivered the final verdict: “After it’s done, send his body back to the apartment and make it look like a sudden death.”

“Yes.”

“How long until the extraction results are ready?”

This question was directed at the technician.

The technician had already injected He Rui with the serum. “His consciousness is completely open. It will take about 40 minutes to fully extract everything. President Ji, please allow an additional 20 minutes for organization.”

“Fine.”

Ji Tianheng said, “I’ll wait here. I want to see the results in an hour.”

An hour later, the information extracted from He Rui’s brain memories was clearly organized. The technician had already filtered out the irrelevant parts according to Ji Tianheng’s requirements.

What remained were all the key details.

Line by line, the files appeared before her eyes.

[Project Codename: Reversal]
[Project Level: Top Secret]
[Project Lead: Shen Tingxue]
[Project Objective: Develop P-01 Gene Reverse Transcriptase to achieve irreversible differentiation from Omega to Alpha.]
[Current Progress: Test subjects have entered the final catalytic phase, with maturation expected in 48 days.]

Ji Tianheng looked at the project, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

Shen Tingxue was quite ambitious.

She continued reading.

[Project Codename: Shepherd]
[Project Level: Top Secret]
[Primary Project Leads: Shen Tingxue, Chu Yi]
[Project Objective: Develop the Shepherd Pheromone Virus to secretly control all super-Alpha test subjects in the Governor’s Mansion, converting them into a private armed force.]
[Current Progress: The viral vector has been completed. However, the core loyalty override program has a failure rate exceeding 40%, which may result in brain death or complete loss of control in test subjects. The project is currently at a severe bottleneck.]

At this point, Ji Tianheng paused, letting out a soft chuckle at the mention of the over-40% failure rate. Shen Tingxue, ah, Shen Tingxue.

The information scrolled quickly, and finally, Ji Tianheng’s gaze settled on the last project one that had been temporarily created, with clearance levels even higher than Shepherd.

[Project Codename: Antidote]
[Project Level: Top Secret]
[Project Leads: Chu Yi, He Rui (Temporary Clearance)]

[Project Objective: Analyze and replicate the pheromones of “Subject-Shi Anzhi” to serve as the core stabilizer for the Shepherd Project.]

[Current Issue: The subject’s mental barriers are excessively strong, rendering conventional induction methods ineffective. The project is temporarily suspended. Proposed solution: Begin research using the extracted gland/fluid samples, followed by direct in vivo stress-induced extraction.]

[Subject ID: Shepherd-Core Stabilizer-Subject-Shi Anzhi]

[Related Project: HIG-Max High-Fidelity Rabbit Gestagen High-Concentration Development]

[User: Shen Tingxue]

[Purpose of Use: Unknown]

Ji Tianheng’s mind blanked for an instant. Her uncontrollable thunderstorm pheromones instantly flooded the entire silent room, shattering all glass objects under the terrifying pressure.

In vivo stress-induced extraction.

Rabbit gestagen.

With just a moment’s thought Shen Tingxue actually dared to deceive her daughter into obediently lying on the experimental table through false pregnancy. She truly had the audacity.

This method was even more repulsive than Shen Hong’s actions.

Seeing the pained expressions of her subordinates, Ji Tianheng made every effort to restrain her pheromones. Only one thought remained in her heart now.

She would destroy the Shen family. Some debts were long overdue for repayment.

After leaving the central park’s cemetery, Shen Tingxue rushed to St. Anne’s Hospital for an IV drip. Without immediate treatment, the rabbit gestagen would kill her.

Just as the infusion was nearly complete, Zhu Zhu, the most senior core researcher in the laboratory, requested an emergency communication.

Shen Tingxue had a bad premonition and chose to answer.

Zhu Zhu’s voice was rapid and urgent.

[Miss, He Rui hasn’t returned to the lab after his shift change. His location is unknown. I suspect he’s been kidnapped by some faction.Miss, listen to me, I suspect this because Chu Yi conducted unauthorized operations privately. I’m not sure if this action could lead to laboratory information leaks. I’m sorry for reporting this to you so late.]

[But we must prepare for the worst-case scenario now.]
