Chapter 21 A Messy Doctor Lu

The drenched Omega rushed out of the room, covering his face as he ran away.

“…”

Due to the departure of the dark cloud, the private room, which had slightly warmed up in temperature, immediately fell silent again. Everyone exchanged glances; Chen Jian was the first to react and stood up. However, he did not chase after that Omega; instead, he first went to the small room to check on Lu Kongyun. Because based on his limited understanding from the brief contact with this meticulous second young master of the Lu family, Chen Jian felt that the problem lay with this person.

Chen Jian stood at the door of the small room and peered inside; Gao Yuting also followed. The two of them saw Lu Kongyun standing facing the wall hung with all sorts of props.

Chen Jian asked: “Director Lu, what is wrong?”

Lu Kongyun turned his head to glance at him, paused for a moment, and while buttoning up his collar, answered: “He could not satisfy me.”

As expected.

Chen Jian said: “Then should I still call Xiao Guang over to accompany you?”

Xiao Guang was that Alpha who had undergone gland surgery.

“No need,” Lu Kongyun shook his head, then picked up the pair of fluffy handcuffs from the wall. The fluff on those handcuffs was a very light, very light pinkish flesh color, and each cuff had a vertical cat ear on it.

He rubbed it in his hand.

“Where did you buy this?”

“…” Chen Jian said, “I am not too clear on that. If you like it, you can just take it and use it.”

Lu Kongyun shook his head again and hung it back: “I will buy my own. I want a new one.”

Chen Jian: “…”

What a meticulous person.

A server who was peeking from far behind cautiously said: “That… S House has a dedicated supplier that provides design styles, guaranteeing quality and safety. You cannot buy it outside.”

Chen Jian immediately turned his head to look at her: “Go ask if there is stock in the warehouse; hurry and bring a new one over.”

Lu Kongyun took out his cardholder: “How much?”

Chen Jian waved his hand: “Heavens, Director Lu, do not joke; calculating accounts for something like this between us would be too ridiculous.”

Lu Kongyun took out his credit card and handed it to the server beside him: “It should be done this way. The furry toy, the private room fee, and the liquor costs—let us settle them all together.”

“But exclude that bottle you drugged,” he said.

…

Yu Xiaowen got into the passenger seat of the car.

“This hood is truly fucking annoying,” he said as he yanked off the wig, the hood, the collar, and the earpiece all at once.

No one around responded to him, so he turned his head to look at those colleagues. Chen Zihan in the driver’s seat, Xu Jie in the back seat, and another colleague were all looking at him with pained expressions.

“Hm?”

Chen Zihan reached out to turn on the overhead small light but hesitated and withdrew his hand.

“You have suffered,” Team Leader Chen said.

Yu Xiaowen touched his cheek: “Just one slap; for a police officer, that does not even count as a superficial injury.”

Team Leader Chen wanted to say something but stopped.

“Brother,” Xu Jie rubbed his reddened eyes. “I am sorry. I should not have let you go back.”

“…Who do you think you are? And you damn well let me,” Yu Xiaowen said as he scanned the crowd of silent mourners once more. “Fine. If something really happened, could I have come out this quickly? It was just being nibbled a couple of times. Actually, it felt pretty good; I liked it very much. Hurry and drive; I am so sleepy, I want to get off work and go home to sleep.”

Chen Zihan: “The director said that if your emotions are affected, he plans to give you some extra overtime pay.”

Yu Xiaowen: “…I’ve calmed down and thought about it; my heart does indeed start to feel a bit uncomfortable now.”

He was too tired. Yu Xiaowen had not rested well in the past few days, and today he had worked overtime until late at night; it was simply not something his frail body could bear. As soon as he got home, he wiped his face with a wet towel, then immediately kicked off his slippers and threw himself onto the bed.

So sleepy. So tired.

Today, the mission had achieved a major breakthrough. It was very fulfilling.

Mission…

The sound of water from the bathroom replayed in his ears again, along with another, clearer water sound.

Yu Xiaowen’s body immediately softened again in a conditioned reflex; he curled up his legs and hooked the bedsheet with his toes.

He bit his lower lip.

His phone vibrated once.

He lifted his heavy eyelids, brought the phone to his eyes, and squinted to look.

It was a WeChat message from the victim. Oh… He had almost forgotten to collect the nightly mission report.

This blackmailer immediately smiled and opened the chat box. However, it was not the familiar and indifferent two words, but a very short voice message.

…So late; what did he have to say?

Yu Xiaowen thought for a moment and pressed play.

“Good night, sweetheart.”

The victim’s voice was very pleasant, gentle and calm.

“…” Yu Xiaowen’s fingers and heart both tightened.

His mind went blank for a while, and he played it again.

“Good night, sweetheart.”

He played it again.

“Good night, sweetheart.”

He played it again.

“Good night, sweetheart.”

Then he turned his face into the pillow; with the phone pressed to his chest, his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably. Next, he felt the hot water on his face and the congestion in his nasal cavity, but he did not move; he let himself suffocate in the pillow until he felt a bit dizzy.

He was afraid of death.

The wet, cold, heavy emotions soaked through him.

After a while, he had indulged in enough sentimentality, so he lifted his face out and wiped it with the tissue from the bedside.

After wiping his face, Yu Xiaowen lay back under the covers and sent a heart emoji back. The other party would certainly not reply again. Yu Xiaowen put the phone aside and covered himself properly with the quilt. After a moment, he stretched his hand out from under the covers, grabbed the phone, and lit it up. He looked at that very short voice message.

He closed his eyes, placed the phone directly in front of his face, very close, and played the voice message once more.

“Good night, sweetheart,” the victim’s voice said.

“Good night,” Yu Xiaowen said.

…

Lu Kongyun sat on the stool at home, facing the fluffy handcuffs on the table, and placed his finger joints under his canine teeth. He felt the pain they brought.

What was this? Why had he brought such a thing home?

At home, besides the toothbrush, there seemed to be nothing else with fur. This was not his style.

The drug effects were gradually receding, while the counteractions and adverse reactions from the various drugs began to intensify. He suddenly stood up and rushed to the toilet, vomiting into the toilet bowl.

“Bleg!”

He vomited very uncomfortably, which reminded him of those drunks like rotten mud. This similarity was very unpleasant, so he insisted on straightening his back while holding the toilet. After vomiting one wave, he frowned, pressed his temples, rubbed his face, pressed his philtrum, and rescued himself.

Then he took two breaths, took out his phone. The light and shadows in front of his eyes were flickering; it was very difficult for him to open WeChat, but he could not type the letters with his fingertips. Thus, he could only calm his breathing and sent a voice message: “Good night, sweetheart.”

Soon, the blackmailer sent a WeChat emoji. This proved that he should not be working anymore and had safely arrived home.

After completing the daily blackmail routine, he contacted Gao Yuting again. He dialed the voice call and told Gao Yuting the types and dosages of drugs he had used tonight.

After a long silence on the other end, he said: “Are you trying to die?”

“How to solve it?” he went straight to the point.

“First, vomit it all out. Drink more water. You cannot take any more drugs right now. You cannot take any drugs at all now.”

“I know. Is there any alternative therapy?” Lu Kongyun said. “I feel that the chemical levels in my body are out of control. I feel that I am about to turn into a mad dog soon. The kind where saliva drips down the chin onto the legs.”

Gao Yuting: “…The inhibitor wristband is useless too, right?”

Lu Kongyun: “Yes.”

Silence.

Gao Yuting: “Once the drug counteraction passes, your susceptible period will rebound explosively. I do not know if you have heard, but there was an S-class kid before whose flare-up was very severe; during home treatment, he could not control it and bit through his whole family, and when he got to his brother, he directly pinned him down and forced a knot. Later, his brother ran off to become a monk, and he dragged him back to…”

“Bleg!” Doctor Gao heard intense vomiting from the receiver; he had to hold it farther from his ear.

“You know I am nauseous now; what do you mean by telling me this?” Lu Kongyun said as he massaged his spasming throat and frowned while pressing the flush button.

“…I am telling you, do not contact anyone. Not even family,” Gao Yuting thought for a moment and added, “Except your rut target.”

Lu Kongyun did not speak.

“I thought going to S House was to solve the problem, but you went to create problems,” Gao Yuting said. Even though the other party was from the Lu family, Doctor Gao could not help but feel stifled.

“Director Lu, you are also a doctor; you clearly know your inhibition levels have already alarmed, so why mess with your body like this? If you do not want to go to S House, you do not have to; I just suggested it, not forced you. You suddenly said you wanted to go and insisted on going immediately, then stirred things up so much that others could not get off the stage. I really do not understand.”

Lu Kongyun: “…”

If today the blackmailer had been entangled by that Ding-surnamed military officer. Or if the one who brought the blackmailer into the small room had not been himself but another Alpha.

Lu Kongyun tightened his fingertips on the toilet seat.

Even if it was his colleague who wanted to save him, on the turf of S House where military officers were everywhere, in this animal world, the machine that upholds law and justice had no comparability to the machine that upholds national power.

Truly stupid.

Perhaps the pheromones had already begun to surge. The person was broken. Particularly unhappy.

Now, not only was the military academy training definitely impossible to attend, but even daily work required taking leave.

A complete mess. Truly a complete mess.

“If you do not particularly, particularly hate your rut target, then compromise and make do with it. This is the only antidote nature gave you,” Gao Yuting said, since the other party had not answered his question for a long time. “I am not the god of ABO; I really cannot help you anymore.”

“I hate it,” Lu Kongyun ground his canine tooth and said. “I hope to never see him again.”

Gao Yuting rarely heard him speak such emotional language; it was probably caused by the impending rut flare-up.

After a moment, Doctor Gao suddenly said: “Hey, do you know about the fraudulent compensatory nature of pheromones?”

Lu Kongyun paused for a few seconds and answered: “Yes. It simulates the body fluid exchange process, deceiving the Alpha instinct to produce a soothing effect; it is the theoretical basis for some Alpha soothing-type inhibitor products.”

“Then can you get that from your rut target?” Doctor Gao said. “You can buy it with money. You can try it. If it works, even if you cannot go to training, at least you can return to work in a few days.”

…

The case had made a breakthrough; the Third Squad had earned great merit. The tracking mission for the target was handed over to another division; after tidying up the materials in the morning, the Third Squad was given a total of one and a half days off for today and tomorrow, and the director paid for everyone to go to the beach for a half-day team-building event plus a seafood meal.

Under the shining sun, Yu Xiaowen lay on a lounge chair under a coconut tree, holding a coconut in his arms. Xu Jie and several colleagues were at the beach; those with families had brought their wives and children, and a bunch of people were running around; it was very lively.

This coconut was too sweet, much sweeter than the one he drank last time with the victim. Yu Xiaowen looked down at his beach shorts. These were the ones he bought during the last forced “date” with the victim.

It was a pity that last time, due to chasing a thief, almost the entire “date” plan had been canceled.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took out his phone and sent a message to the victim.

艹: Escalated blackmail: Progress 1%. To query mission content, please reply.

艹: If no reply, please see the image below.

艹: [An image of a countdown timer]

Victim: Speak.

艹: I am off tomorrow. Accompany me.

The victim did not reply.

Yu Xiaowen clicked his tongue, adjusted the countdown, and drastically reduced the time. Then he took a screenshot and sent it to the other party again.

This time, the victim replied: Can you come to my house? I have something I want to discuss with you.

Victim: Disguise yourself a bit; when you reach the door, send a message, and I will have the guards open it for you.

Victim: Thank you.

…Thank you?

Yu Xiaowen rubbed his eyebrows hard with his fingertips.

艹: When?

Victim: Now. Is that okay? Are you busy?

Yu Xiaowen’s life time was limited, so he could only prioritize the top priority. Thus, he resolutely gave up the team-building with his loving colleagues and immediately, very much favoring the object over friends, ran to Orange Garden. Before going to there, he quickly showered at the beach shower area and bought a deep red inhibitor patch at the pharmacy to apply it.

He held the two newly bought coconuts and knocked at the door of the victim’s standalone house.

As soon as his hand touched the door panel, the door opened, so Yu Xiaowen immediately raised the coconuts and took a step back. Next, the victim appeared in front of him. He was wearing the bite-blocker, and his complexion was unusually poor.

Yu Xiaowen was stunned and asked softly: “What is wrong with you…”

He looked down, and he saw that the other’s two wrists were cuffed together, with a pair of fluffy…

Pink ones. With little ears on them.

“Cough.” He slowly looked up. But in the end, they returned to that pair of fluffy ears, and to the doctor’s clearly articulated hands where the wrist veins were visible.

Following Yu Xiaowen’s gaze, the victim also lowered his head to look at his hands, then raised his head to look at him, saying calmly yet weakly: “I am very dangerous right now. For your own good.”

The victim took a step back: “Come in.”
