The Scummy Alpha Transmigrated into a Tragedy Novel and Went Viral! - Chapter 27

Ji Yufu watched Cheng Jingling act cute and clingy, and she couldn’t help but laugh. But the next second, when she caught He Yue’s startled expression in the rearview mirror, her smile vanished. Elegantly, she raised a finger to Cheng Jingling’s chin and gently nudged her back into her seat.

“You’re thoughtful, but don’t worry—I’ll take care of myself.”

After returning to the capital, the three of them headed straight to Saint Fei Hospital. Xu Wei was already waiting for Ji Yufu in the lobby. Lin Jinyu, knowing Ji Yufu would be coming early for a checkup, had sacrificed her lunch break to see her. Cheng Jingling accompanied Ji Yufu to Lin’s office. The rest of the day’s schedule made it more convenient for He Yue to tag along. She had already informed Ji Yufu, contacted her own attending physician to check her head recovery, and even started some cosmetic scar treatments.

Following the doctor’s instructions, Cheng Jingling completed her scans. When she returned to the office, her results were already on the computer. After reviewing them carefully, the doctor said her head had healed very well and there was nothing to worry about. Cheng Jingling also asked the doctor to help schedule an afternoon laser treatment with the cosmetic department.

Ji Yufu’s situation, however, was less optimistic. She briefly described her condition over the past few days. Lin Jinyu frowned deeply. She initially concluded that Ji Yufu’s frequent fevers and hormonal irregularities were aftereffects of the inducer, but why these symptoms had appeared so suddenly and aggressively required further testing.

“Ms. Ji, in order to create a precise, personalized treatment plan, I need to take a sample of your pheromones for analysis.” She pulled out a long syringe and sample tube. Ji Yufu looked at this “formidable” old friend, her expression twisting into one of helpless resignation.

Lin Jinyu didn’t hesitate. She pierced Ji Yufu’s gland with the needle. Ji Yufu clenched her fists in pain, cold sweat breaking out all over her body. Once enough pheromone was collected, Lin Jinyu pressed a cotton swab and gently removed the sample, asking He Yue to help hold it in place.

“The test results will take some time. You can rest in my lounge or grab lunch if you haven’t eaten. I’ll notify you once the results are ready,” Lin said, taking the pheromone sample into the lab.

After Cheng Jingling finished her follow-up, she went to check on Ji Yufu. Since they couldn’t easily go out, the four of them ordered lunch from the hospital cafeteria, which the nurses would deliver shortly.

“How are the test results?” Cheng Jingling asked, noticing Ji Yufu’s slightly pale expression.

“They won’t be ready until the afternoon. How about you?”

“The doctor said I’m recovering very well.”

Soon, the nurse pushed the lunch carts over. He Yue and Xu Wei took their meals to a corner, leaving space for Ji Yufu and Cheng Jingling, who ate while chatting quietly.

Cheng Jingling arranged the dishes, noting Ji Yufu preferred lighter flavors. She handed her chopsticks, and Ji Yufu politely thanked her. Both of them focused on eating in silence, only occasionally hearing He Yue and Xu Wei laughing nearby, which created a slightly tense atmosphere.

By 2:00 PM, Dr. Lin summoned Ji Yufu for her test results. Upon entering, she saw Lin Jinyu seated with a serious expression, holding the report. Ji Yufu immediately sensed something was wrong.

“Ms. Ji, your pheromone test results are in,” Lin said, her tone unusually stern.

“Go ahead,” Ji Yufu replied cooperatively.

Pushing up her glasses, Lin’s sharp gaze pierced through the lenses. “The analysis shows your pheromones contain traces of suppressants. In other words, you’ve been using them recently.”

Ji Yufu felt a twinge of guilt and remained silent, merely nodding.

“I emphasized before your discharge that you must not use suppressants. Your glands are already damaged, and there is currently no medical treatment that can fully correct pheromone imbalances. Complete recovery depends on your body’s own regulation. If you experience fevers, it’s best to let them resolve naturally,” Lin continued, her expression stern.

Ji Yufu had no words. Indeed, she hadn’t followed the medical advice.

“Currently, the pheromone levels in your gland have dropped to just 10%. This is extremely serious. If not treated promptly, your glands may atrophy, losing the ability to secrete pheromones, and potentially even affecting fertility.”

The two assistants were shocked by Lin’s words. Ji Yufu felt as if she’d been hit by a thunderbolt. She had always prioritized her career, working tirelessly and maintaining a spotless reputation, never worrying about the cost to her health.

She knew consequences were inevitable, but now that they were laid bare, a sense of sadness swept over her.

Although she never expected love or marriage, or considered having children, losing this inherent Omega ability was deeply upsetting.

“I’ll prescribe medications to help regulate your condition. But Ms. Ji, you absolutely cannot use suppressants again!”

“Understood!”

Lin updated Ji Yufu’s records on the computer, monitoring the treatment’s progress and making small adjustments as needed.

“Has your partner not come with you?” Lin asked, glancing at Ji Yufu.

Ji Yufu hesitated. The two assistants exchanged awkward glances. “Is she needed for something?”

“I recommend that both of you undergo a pheromone compatibility test. The results will help me refine the treatment plan. If compatibility is high, it can reduce the reliance on medications during therapy,” Lin explained.

Ji Yufu felt inexplicably nervous. He Yue and Xu Wei were even more anxious—they couldn’t bear the thought of their perfect ‘gem’ being misused.

“What does that mean?” Ji Yufu asked.

“It means your partner can help create several temporary markers. Past cases show that the higher the pheromone compatibility, the more it aids recovery. It’s far more pleasant than medicine or injections. Many patients have reported good results, and I recommend you try it.”

Before Ji Yufu could protest, someone knocked at the office door. Cheng Jingling’s head popped in, already tying her hair in preparation to give a sample. He Yue and Xu Wei were speechless.

“Ms. Cheng, perfect timing. You two can do the compatibility test now,” Lin said, immediately taking charge.

“Don’t—” Ji Yufu started.

“Sure,” Cheng Jingling replied cheerfully.

Ji Yufu looked at Cheng Jingling’s calm, eager expression. This fool hadn’t even grasped the situation yet but was already ready to participate. She sighed deeply, feeling utterly defeated.

“Ugh, that hurts a little.” Cheng Jingling sat beside Dr. Lin, cooperating as the doctor drew her pheromones. The moment the needle pierced her slender arm, a sharp, stabbing pain shot through her, and she clenched her fists tightly just to keep herself seated.

The pheromone compatibility test was extremely popular domestically. Almost every couple about to marry would check their compatibility beforehand. While love and marriage were still considered matters of personal freedom, countless couples broke up each year because their compatibility fell below 60%. The results were also quick—usually ready in about half an hour.

Watching Dr. Lin operate the machine, Cheng Jingling guessed that her compatibility with Ji Yufu was probably below 60%. After all, she wasn’t Ji Yufu’s destined Alpha, so a low score was perfectly reasonable. But if she could somehow find Ji Yufu’s true destined Alpha, could that help Ji Yufu recover her health?

Lost in her thoughts, Cheng Jingling didn’t notice Ji Yufu leaving the office with Xu Wei. They headed to Dr. Lin’s lounge, as Xu Wei had another mission to report.

“Ah Fu-jie, they’ve all been very quiet lately. No unusual activity, no gatherings. They’re probably afraid of being discovered, so they haven’t met up,” Xu Wei reported in detail.

Ji Yufu nodded. “Good work. Keep monitoring them, but make sure to stay safe. Don’t take unnecessary risks.”

“I understand, Ah Fu-jie. I think Tong Yali and the others have probably given up on Zunhuang Hotel. Since your incident, she hasn’t been there, and none of the investors involved that day have shown up again.”

“The whole situation got too messy. Zunhuang isn’t safe anymore. They’ve likely moved their base.”

“Also, Yu Ziwei hasn’t appeared for over a month. According to her big fans, she has neither work assignments nor private events—she simply hasn’t shown up.”

Ji Yufu’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “She probably isn’t ready to face people yet.”

Yu Ziwei had been the Omega mistakenly seized by investors that night, almost ending up in Cheng Jingling’s bed. She’d been unlucky—she went from being the hunter to the hunted.

“Xiao Wei, from now on, just keep an eye on their movements. But remember, don’t reveal your identity. For now, don’t tell Yun-jie about this.”

“Understood, Ah Fu-jie!”

Once their plan was settled, they returned to the office. The test machine was already processing results, and all eyes were glued to the screen, watching the numbers climb slowly from 1%, hearts in their throats.

“50%, 60%.” Cheng Jingling’s eyes widened as the numbers kept rising with no sign of stopping. What was happening? It had already passed the threshold, yet it kept climbing? How could a scummy Alpha and the heroine have such high compatibility? What was the author thinking?

She muttered complaints in her head as she watched, stunned when the final result appeared. Everyone—including Dr. Lin—was speechless. Dr. Lin even doubted that her million-yuan precision instrument had broken, or that her own eyes were failing.

“99%!!!”

No one could believe it. In their experience, they had never heard of such a high compatibility score.

Clearing her throat awkwardly, Dr. Lin said, “Um, just to be safe, I’ll run the sample on another machine. Please wait a moment.”

Maintaining a rigorous, scientific approach, she brought the sample to another office, hoping to attribute this unbelievable reading to machine error. But the result was still 99%. Lin Jinyu muttered to herself as she returned, visibly unnerved.

Everyone held their breath. “The test result is,” she paused dramatically, hearts suspended.

“99%!” Then the machine beeped and crashed with a loud snap.

“It’s okay! You two are the first couple in China—and the first in the world and medical history—to reach 99% compatibility. While it defies medical logic, this is incredible. It means you are truly made for each other!” Dr. Lin waved her arms in excitement, smiling broadly—more as if convincing herself than anyone else.

Cheng Jingling watched her unusual behavior and couldn’t help but think that Dr. Lin’s brain must have overheated.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not even 100% yet. This can happen. It’s allowed. You two are destined!”

While Dr. Lin babbled on, the machine beeped again. Everyone looked back at the screen, and Lin Jinyu’s glasses fell to the floor. The number had jumped from 99% to 100%.

Lin Jinyu slapped her own face hard. “I jinxed it!!!”
