Chapter 25 Heat

…

Yu Xiaowen looked at the blooming red plums on the bed and felt a bit shocked.

He raised his head and saw the victim’s face once again show an angry and aggrieved expression, then his body pitched forward. Yu Xiaowen immediately hugged him.

The victim leaned against his neck, his breathing quickened, and his body began to stiffen. Yu Xiaowen supported the victim with both arms to prop him up and faced his face again: “What is wrong with you? The substitute meal’s medicine is indeed not enough? Is that it?”

The victim stared at him, wanting to speak, but after opening his mouth, the loudest sound was his teeth chattering. Yu Xiaowen quickly helped him lie flat on the bed. Then he took the victim’s phone from his pocket and called Gao Yuting. It rang twice, and the other side picked up.

“Hello?”

This voice was very low and not quite like the doctor’s from the previous call. Thus, Yu Xiaowen did not speak. The other side paused, then laughed and said again: “You are the ‘substitute meal’?”

This tone was etched in Yu Xiaowen’s memory; it was definitely Lu Qifeng. But why would Lu Qifeng be with that doctor?

Yu Xiaowen did not understand, but if this matter involved the Lu family’s military intelligence head, it would become complicated. So, he silently hung up the call.

He irritably rubbed his head, jumped off the bed, drew a wad of tissue and stuffed it into the victim’s bite-blocker, wiping below his nose: “Lu Kongyun, I find that my filter for you before was too thick; it seems you are not that excellent after all. How can you mess yourself up like this? With your body like this, why are you not resting at home? What kind of damn doctor are you? Just causing trouble for people.”

He heard the victim speaking continuously, mumbling indistinctly. He leaned close to listen.

“I want… mouth mouth… you…”

“Heh heh, still threatening me. Now you can only talk big,” Yu Xiaowen somewhat violently stuffed the tissue ball into the victim’s nostrils. “Relax, I will not tell anyone about your embarrassing matters. Look, for your face, I just hung up the call. But what to do now, hm? I am a blackmailer, not a spring. I did it, but I cannot give it to you anymore.”

Yu Xiaowen opened the drawer and took out his medicine box. Inside were his illness-treatment drugs and some Omega inhibitor injections, none of which were useful for the victim.

There was also that sedative he had just taken back from the victim’s home.

Because Yu Xiaowen was really very tired, after returning home he had only removed its outer packaging and put it into his own medicine box. He had not used it and had fallen asleep.

This sedative probably had no effect on an Alpha in rut. Because if this thing worked, Lu Kongyun would have used it long ago.

…But this guy was even having a nosebleed. At least letting his emotions not be so agitated and sleeping quietly would be beneficial.

Yu Xiaowen opened the agent, mixed it, and injected it into the victim’s arm.

After a while, the victim opened his eyes; his gaze was a bit unfocused, but his physical condition seemed calmer.

Yu Xiaowen said softly: “Sleep. Sleep well.”

The victim saw the needle tip on the table and the matching powder bottle. His eyes widened.

“…This,” he spoke slowly as well. Very soft.

“I just used it on you,” Yu Xiaowen said. “To let you sleep well.”

The victim’s eyes opened for a few seconds, he shook his head, sat up, grabbed the bottle and needle: “I want to go home.”

“Do not make a fuss anymore,” Yu Xiaowen pressed him down and said. “You just got the sedative; can you still drive?”

Lu Kongyun fell silent. His two eyebrows twisted together, as if he was struggling hard with something. “Hm. Yes… I want to go home.”

“…” Yu Xiaowen captured his expression and squinted his eyes.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaowen walked out of the room, then walked back in. He was carrying the trash can.

“Lu Kongyun,” he called to the victim lying on the bed. The victim saw the trash can in his hand, his gaze became even more difficult and struggling, and he pursed his mouth tightly.

Yu Xiaowen examined him for a while. He asked: “You saw the medicine box in this trash can when you came in just now, right?”

The victim did not speak.

“Answer.”

The victim opened his mouth with difficulty: “I saw it.”

Yu Xiaowen: “So that is why you said strange things, right? ‘Interrogation’? What does that mean?”

The victim: “…Literal. Meaning.”

Yu Xiaowen took out the medicine box and looked at it. He asked again: “Ts-4. This name, is it a sedative?”

The victim: “…No.”

Yu Xiaowen: “…What is it?”

The victim: “…”

The victim: “…”

He remained silent, biting his mouth until blood marks appeared.

The victim had just had a bunch of nosebleed, with a pale green-like tissue ball still stuffed in his nostrils, looking quite pitiful. Yu Xiaowen used his fingertip to pry open the victim’s teeth, freeing his lips.

“Do not be nervous; it was I who blackmailed you first, using Lu Qingchuan’svideo for blackmail. Even if you want to drug me to death, I am not completely innocent; at most, I misjudged your humanity. Just tell the truth. Ouch…”

Then he withdrew his finger and rubbed the tooth marks on it.

The victim licked his mouth: “Military. Truth serum.”

Yu Xiaowen: “…………..”

He stood in the shadows for a while and asked: “The ‘sedative’ you used on me before, was it all this?”

The victim: “Yes.”

Yu Xiaowen’s voice was somewhat dry: “Then did you ask out anything? About me… the things you wanted to know, did you get the answers?”

The victim recalled and answered: “You said, Yu Xiaowen is a very outstanding criminal police officer, who has cracked many major cases and received many awards.”

“…” Yu Xiaowen scratched his face: “What else?”

The victim looked at him: “What?”

“Why I blackmailed you, and my… um. Things like that toward you.”

The victim: “No. I did not get effective information. Your willpower is very strong, comparable to a top-level spy.”

“Me? Top-level sp…?” Yu Xiaowen was surprised. He had always known he was very capable but did not expect he had underestimated himself.

But thinking about it, yes. If he had already learned how unbearable his trump card was, the other would not have entangled with him until now and would have kicked him away long ago.

Yu Xiaowen asked another question: “But I remember nothing. I only thought I was sleeping all along. Why?”

The victim bit his mouth again. This time, it seemed he was about to bite off flesh.

Yu Xiaowen bent down, his face appearing in the light, looking at the victim: “Answer.”

The victim looked at his collar, then at his face, biting his molars: “Military. Secret.”

Yu Xiaowen rubbed his lips again: “Good boy. Military and police are one family. Sharing information is beneficial for joining hands to strike crime. Tell the officer; order.”

The victim spoke with difficulty: “…Ts-4, military truth serum. The role of the added component. After the interrogation subject wakes up, he will… lose memory of the interrogation process. Research shows that this added component in Ts-4 can effectively lower the interrogation subject’s defenses. Increase the interrogation subject’s degree of obedience to orders…”

“…Obedience to orders, ah.” Yu Xiaowen plopped down on the stool, crossed one leg over the bed, and looked at the victim. “The officer still thought he was the one issuing orders. Turns out you played me happily behind my back. Hm?”

What could he say? As a blackmailer, he could not condemn the victim’s self-rescue behavior after being blackmailed.

Yu Xiaowen sighed.

“Lu Kongyun. You did nothing wrong, but you fell in a very ridiculous way today. I do not even know what to say about you.”

The victim lowered his eyes and nodded, indicating agreement: “I am very ridiculous.”

Yu Xiaowen leaned over and patted his chest, insincerely offering comfort: “Rut eruption truly lowers intelligence. My majestic and aloof Doctor Lu turned into a little fool for me to toy with.”

“Yes,” the victim answered frankly. “So I hate you. It is you who turned me into a low-intelligence mad dog. I have never, ever been like this.”

Silence.

“Using truth serum on you has no meaning anyway. You usually do not bother lying to me,” Yu Xiaowen thought for a moment and said again: “But losing memory is very interesting.”

“I love you.” Yu Xiaowen touched his tie again and raised his head with a smile: “What does it feel like hearing that?”

The victim looked at him.

He answered: “You like talking nonsense. And you like playing with me.”

Yu Xiaowen: “I really love you. Originally, I had nothing, no attachments, and did not cherish my life that much. But once I think… if, in the future, I can no longer see you, my heart would shatter, more painful than my body. Do you know?”

The victim thought for a moment: “Why do you love me? We have no relationship.”

Yu Xiaowen looked at his hand hanging by his leg and touched it.

The other did not resist. He furrowed his brows, moved his fingertips, but that was all.

Because of his Ts-4.

Yu Xiaowen held it again.

“You are very kind, gentle, and good-looking. You are the best.”

The tissue ball in his nostril had been soaked through and fell out. A red one, looking somewhat frightening.

Yu Xiaowen: “…”

The victim said slowly: “You blackmailed me, so you have my WeChat.”

Yu Xiaowen pulled the tissue ball out from the bite-blocker and replaced it with a new one: “…Damn, why does your blood keep flowing endlessly? I am really afraid you will hang on like this.”

“You have my WeChat, so you will not never see me again,” the victim looked at him inquiringly.

Yu Xiaowen straddled along the bed edge.

He pinched the bedsheet.

“I. I will help you? Anyway, you will forget when you wake up; we can pretend it never happened.”

“What?” The victim seemed a bit slow in reaction because of the drug, still stuck on the previous question.

“I can help you, handle the rut,” Yu Xiaowen looked up. “Purely helping.”

The victim looked at him, his head tilted left, stunned for two seconds, then right for two seconds, completing a delayed head shake.

Yu Xiaowen: “…Did you not say truth serum increases obedience? And you are still so stubborn.”

“Then if it is an order? Want to come?” Yu Xiaowen grabbed the corner of his tie and tugged experimentally. “Do you not want to return to normal? Look at you now, so silly; your aloof persona collapsed, with a big green onion stuffed in your nose, drugging yourself and eating it. I do not mind, but you probably would not think this is cute like I do.”

The victim lowered his head and looked.

Behind the bite-blocker, he licked his canine tooth, then repeated Yu Xiaowen’s words: “Order?”

“Yes.” Yu Xiaowen pulled out the tie. The other still did not resist. But he also remained expressionless, his gaze flat, looking deflating to confidence and unable to stir emotions.

Yu Xiaowen tensed the corner of his mouth forcefully and turned off the small lamp on the table. In the darkness, he said: “Fine. Then I will keep the patch on. This way I don’t go into heat, and you don’t have to smell the scent you don’t like while doing that.”

After a while, the victim said: “I don’t dislike it.”

Yu Xiaowen: “You truly have good qualities. You are a good person.”

In the darkness, the victim asked again: “You order me. Is it because you want it? Because you said you love me.”

Yu Xiaowen: “…You are not allowed to ask questions. Questioning is the officer’s right.”

The victim fell silent.

Yu Xiaowen’s hands were very shaky, and his palms very damp; inexplicably, he groped several times before unbuckling the victim’s metal belt buckle. Then he rustled to remove some unnecessary clothing and hugged him.

Even the most aloof person has a hot body.
