Chapter 30

The lights in the villa are bright.

Lan Heng sent guards to continue searching for the Scorpion in the Imperial Star, especially searching the city's sewer network, hoping to capture him before he escapes from the capital.

He sat quietly on the sofa with Li Zhi, who had survived the disaster, and watched her reinstall the intelligent computer.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Li Zhi's white, tender and smooth earlobe. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes behind the lenses were heavy and full of thoughts.

He savored the fluctuations in his heart and could clearly feel his still pounding heart and the fear in his heart.

Although he seemed to be calm as he sat in the rear and gave orders, he was actually extremely anxious and worried inside, and he wished he could go find someone himself.

See the intense anger when Duxie held Li Zhi hostage, and the obvious relief and joy when he got Li Zhi back.

Ever since he experienced such a huge change in his childhood, his emotions had never been so complex and intense.

He laughed at himself in his heart, saying that he was just a female and that the overall situation was more important, and that he was just a rational machine without emotions. It seemed that he was not as cold-hearted as he thought, and his heart was no longer controlled by reason.
"Sir." Li Zhi looked at the dazed Lan Heng and called him a few times. Seeing that he did not respond, he waved his hand in front of him: "Sir, are you okay?"

Lan Heng subconsciously grabbed her shaking little hand. The delicate and smooth touch passed through the palm of his hand all the way into his ventricles, leaving a tingling sensation.

He came to his senses and let go immediately, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not making the arrangements properly and not protecting you well enough, which put you in danger."

Li Zhi took back his hand and clasped his hands together. His face flushed slightly, and he shook his head and consoled her: "Don't say that. It was this venomous scorpion that was too cunning. Besides, I'm fine. Don't blame yourself."

Lan Heng didn't expect that Li Zhi, such a delicate little female, not only did not complain or show any fear, but instead came to comfort him.

He unconsciously retracted the fingers that had just held Li Zhi's soft hands. After a moment of silence, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart. His brain began to work and think about the important matters. He coughed lightly and asked, "Li Zhi, what happened just now?"

Li Zhi then told Lan Heng in detail about his entire previous experience.

A laboratory in an unknown place, the scorpion's strange nonsense, and the tube of blood that was drawn.

After listening to Li Zhi's clear retelling, Lan Heng frowned immediately, his eyes became solemn, and he thought of what Duxie had said to him.

His brain was working rapidly, reviewing all the information he had received, mainly focusing on several key points.

First, who was the Majesty he was talking about? That Majesty didn't seem to want Duxie to take Li Zhi away. Instead, he wanted her to stay here and grow up, and said that they would meet soon.

Second, he kept saying that Li Zhi was the only treasure in the galaxy, a sacred being. He also said that her pheromones were only temporarily dormant and needed to be reactivated, and that with believers, her pheromones had already been activated.
Third, he said that he would soon create the most perfect reagent, and that he would need Li Zhi's blood as the material. This adventure was all for this purpose. What was so special about Li Zhi's blood?

Finally, there is his question: if the pheromone test shows no pheromone, does it mean it is definitely no pheromone?

Lan Heng frowned slightly. He had several guesses in his mind and decided to wait for Su Jing to come back and confirm with him.

He thought quickly in his mind, raised his eyes to look at Li Zhi who looked a little tired, and said in a gentle voice that he himself did not realize: "Okay, I know everything. It's getting late. You were frightened tonight. Go to bed." Li Zhi was exhausted physically and mentally after going through this. He nodded obediently: "Okay, sir, go to bed too."

"Yes." Lan Heng stood up, paused, and asked, "Are there any guest rooms here? In order to prevent any accidents, I would like to stay here temporarily for one night. Is that okay?"

Li Zhi nodded immediately: "Of course, there are several guest rooms on the second floor. I'll take you there. Thank you for staying here tonight and taking the trouble to protect me."
-
Lan Heng sat on the bed in the guest room, still handling official business on his smart computer, when his keen hearing suddenly picked up Li Zhi's short scream from upstairs.

Hearing the noise, Lan Heng rushed upstairs like lightning, entered Li Zhi's room, and rushed into the bathroom following the sound.

In the spacious bathroom, Li Zhi was the only one there, standing in the bathtub, looking at him with eyes wide open.

He looked around, sharp and concerned: "What's wrong?"

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed: "The curtain moved just now, I thought it was the scorpion again, I overreacted."

"It's okay."

Lan Heng breathed a sigh of relief, only then he noticed that Li Zhi was only wrapped in a thin white bath towel.

In the misty water vapor, the girl's hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, wetting the bath towel that she had wrapped around her body in a hurry.

The exposed skin was as tender as jade, her face was as elf-like and beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water. Her deer-like eyes looked at him purely and innocently, as if rejecting but also welcoming him.

Lan Heng's Adam's apple moved, and the blue pupils behind the lenses uncontrollably lost a bit of indifference and rationality, and were tinged with a dangerous dark color.

He didn't know if it was the smell of the bathroom fragrance, but a strange and charming aroma came to his nose. He felt relaxed and comfortable all over, and even his glands that had not responded for many years began to heat up and itch.

The whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of hormonal atmosphere, and a silent ambiguity spread.

"grown ups."

Li Zhi blushed and her heart beat fast when she saw his aggressive gaze. She lowered her head and dared not look at him, and could not help but let out a soft call.

The voice was low and soft, and to some people it didn't sound like a reminder, but rather like a coquettish invitation.

Lan Heng's eyes darkened even more. He closed his eyes and relied on his strong willpower to force himself to turn around.

"Call me anytime if you need anything."

After he left, Li Zhi's body slid down weakly, covering her red and hot face with her hands.

So embarrassing.
As the saying goes, the more rational and restrained a person is, the more lsp~
