Troubles of Lan Family

When Physician Lan heard about his daughter's request, his eyes instantly beamed. A sense of delight surged within his mind that he could not help but laugh joyfully. ..

"HAHAHA... I am happy! My daughter is inclined toward experimentation! Hahaha... No doubt... our Lan Family will continue to rule the medical field of this city! I will ask someone to make a contract with the black market dealers. I heard that the Jinzi Family also made a deal with those kinds of equipment. We must not be left behind."

"It's probably for the heir of the Jinzi family, dad. Inborn Alpha Syndrome is one thing. But, it's probably because of the Devourer Scent. They have been acting like their family heir is a ticking time bomb that could explode," Chuntian pondered briefly. "Alpha Weifeng sure was the center of attention because of his troublesome pheromones. If possible, we should distance away from the Jinzi Family, dad."

Physician Lan pursed his lips and nodded his head. "You've got it right, my daughter. The madam of the Jinzi family had organized a group of doctors to experiment with a remedy once their only son experienced his first rut."

"They didn't ask for your help, dad? You are more adept in medical fields," Chuntian innocently asked.

"They won't." Physician Lan glanced at his daughter and gave her a meaningful gaze. An Alpha family rarely seeks help to another family. Unless, there is a political marriage offered. "The problem of the Jinzi family is a extremely complicated. Even if they ask my assistance, I don't know if I can help them. It's because there was no record of a person possessing Devourer Scent for the last 300 years. And the last documented person possessing that frightening scent had turned into a madman and become a sl*ve of the pheromone. The Jinzi family may look calm in public eyes but they are walking on eggshells because of it."

-

Chuntian somehow recalled the main talk of the citizens during her visit to the city. "Hmm... Dad, there's a lot of gossip in the city about the Jinzi family. They were considered to be the most powerful family but after their son was born, some people started to secretly mock and doubt them. I also heard some people talk about their family openly that the condition of Alpha Weifeng is a punishment from the heavens to their household."

Upon hearing to this, Physician Lan could not help but raise his eyebrow. He was completely aware of what was happening in Xerulean City. He was not shocked by those people bad mouthing the Jinzi family.

But, what he was surprised was how animated his daughter sounded when she talked about it! No... in fact, he just realized that his daughter was actually more engaged in this kind of conversation.

But, Chuntian had always distanced herself from this kind of thing. She won't even mingle with her peers ever since she was young!

"HAH! How is it possible? My daughter, I never imagined you to be interested in gossip," Physician Lan expressed before he could think of the words that came out of his mouth. Then, a thought seemed to dawn upon his mind, 'Is Chuntian interested in the heir of the Jinzi family? His appearance is definitely attractive since he was just a child. Shall I reconsider having him as son-in-law?'

On the other side, Chuntian tried her best not to roll her eyes. 'Gossiping is the most normal thing I do in my past life,' she almost blurted out. Then, she pretended to be in deep thought for a few seconds before she spoke her response, "Even if I am not interested, there is still a talk about it, dad. I can't unhear them..."

"Ahhh... right... right... But, that boy does have an attractive Alpha face," Physician Lan directly mentioned hoping to insinuate his daughter's feelings. "In school, all young Omegas actually want to have a taste---"

"Dad, eww! I am not interested to know that!" Chuntian's face crumpled right away. The disgust in her tone "Alpha Weifeng always had more than five personal guards following him. If it's me, that's something I'll never get used to."

However, there was actually another reason why Chuntian had a disdainful expression on her face.

She had seen the heir of the Jinzi family several times on TV, but not in person yet. And it just so happened that in her past life, Alpha Weifeng had a cunning resemblance to her cheating ex.

Even if it was in the past, even if she had claimed that she already moved on before she was reborn in this world, there was still a lump of bitterness in her heart against the man.

Not long after their conversation, Physician Lan bid farewell to his daughter and returned to their residence.

However, just as he entered the main entrance of his home, he was welcomed by the frightened look of his wife.

"O-Our second child is missing! Those criminals must have kidnapped him! Our youngest said that some people wearing a mask had dragged his brother inside a white van!"

"Where is our youngest now? Is he hurt?" There was no way for Physician Lan to stay calm. The color of his complexion turned as white as paper.

"He is too shocked and is resting in his room. He was not harmed. But, our second child... You were away for almost an entire day. He had been abducted for 5 hours now. I've hired private investigators but they have not reported yet."

The drive to the mountains was really long. Physician Lan had only stayed less than an hour in his daughter's residence but this preposterous situation unfolded right behind his back!

"It's because that child talked about his sister's condition! Now, those criminals won't stop until they squeezed all the information out of him! Stay here, I'll go get our son."

"W-Where? Do you know who those criminals are? Did we --- unknowingly offend someone? Our eldest child has to live separately. And now, our second child is taken away! I am a failure of a mother... it's my fault... all my fault," the voice of his wife sounded helpless. In fact, Physician Lan had never seen this kind of expression from her before.

Physician Lan instantly hugged his wife. He kissed her head and gently whispered, "My wife, stop crying. You are the best mother our children have. We love you as you are. You've done so much for this family. Don't doubt or question yourself. It hurts to hear you speak like this."

"I am an incompetent mother... I can't even do anything right now..."

"Shhh... stop thinking about that. You are the most competent person I know. Do you remember when we are at the university back then? I am the Alpha with the highest standard of dating. My family is very unyielding too. You won't be married to the Lan family if you are not competent. You are the best woman in this world, my wife."

"I only marry your Lan family because of your flowery words..."

"Yes... yes... I've tricked you to marry me. You only fell for my words... Ahh... I just don't want the best girl I know to slip out of my life," Physician Lan heaved a sigh and wiped the tears on his wife's face. He then kissed her lightly and traced her lips lovingly. "Some people seemed to have forgotten how terrifying my Lan Family is. Have we been too focused in treating the sick people? It's about time I remind those criminals... My wife, I promise you... I will find our son back."
