Chapter 68 Jealousy, Never Mention Sheng Beiqing!

Chapter 68 Jealousy, Never Mention Sheng Beiqing!

Sheng Beiqing sent Chen Su a message: "I read your divorce application. Let's talk face to face when you have time."

Chen Su: "No need. We have no disputes over assets. Just sign it and mail it to me."

Sheng Beiqing: "Chen Su, are you really this heartless?"

Sheng Beiqing: "You won't give me even a single chance?"

Chen Su never replied to any more of Sheng Beiqing's messages.

Chen Su and Meng Suizhi went to the special ward of the Federal Hospital to visit Xiao An. Xiao An's full name is Jiang An.

Meng Suizhi could tell that Jiang An really liked Chen Su. He went to ask the doctor about Jiang An's current condition himself, letting Chen Su chat with Jiang An.

Chen Su looked down and peeled an apple for Jiang An.

Jiang An smiled and said, "I remember who you are now..."

Chen Su's hand paused, then resumed moving a second later.

Jiang An watched Chen Su's movements: "Thank you, Engineer Chen."

"For what?"

"Ten years ago, I saw it happen."

The sharp blade accidentally sliced Chen Su's right hand. Blood dripped down his fingertip, staining the apple with blood.

Jiang An pulled out two tissues and handed them to Chen Su, who immediately pressed them to stop the bleeding.

Jiang An said, "Ten years ago, I saw you switch the medicine in my father's study. Thank you. I always knew my father wanted me to undergo differentiation... I didn't want to be invisible at home. I wanted to be an alpha like my brother, thinking only then would I be valued."

"That medicine never made it to the market, which meant it was unregulated. I knew that, all along. After I saw you switch it, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad..."

Jiang An sighed. "Sometimes I really feel like fate is playing tricks on me. You switched the medicine, so I didn't get the alpha secondary differentiation injection, but I was still caught and used for drug experiments. That's just my fate—I can't seem to escape it."

"These past few years have been incredibly painful for me. I always forget a lot of things... But I've come to understand one thing: some things just can't be forced."

Jiang An was destined not to be an alpha, destined never to be valued by his family, destined to be trapped by the drug for life.

"The Drug Supervision Bureau is trying its best."

Chen Su stopped the bleeding, wrapped his injured finger in a tissue, and carefully peeled another apple for Jiang An. "Everything will be fine."

Jiang An nodded at Chen Su. "Okay."

After Meng Suizhi returned, he chatted with Jiang An for a while, then took Chen Su away.

Meng Suizhi asked, "Do you know Jiang An well?"

"I used to be a tutor at the Jiang family's house. I know something about their situation."

"I see..." Meng Suizhi looked at Chen Su's wound and handed him a band-aid. "Be careful."

"Okay."

Chen Su took Meng Suizhi's car back to the experimental base. Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Drug Supervision Bureau, he received a call from Tan Zhou.

Tan Zhou said urgently, "Chen Su, where are you?"

"I just came back from the special ward with Deputy Meng. What's wrong?"

"Stay at the bureau entrance. I'll be right there." Tan Zhou's voice was intermittent, sounding pained. He hung up before Chen Su could answer.

Meng Suizhi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director Tan called me. Probably wants to discuss something. I'll wait for him at the entrance."

"Alright, I'll head back then."

"Mm."

Chen Su waited at the entrance for about five or six minutes. A black Cullinan screeched to a halt in front of the Drug Supervision Bureau. Chen Su recognized the car—it was Zhao Jinzong's.

The front passenger door opened. Tan Zhou's forehead was covered in a fine sweat, and the veins on his hand gripping the door were bulging. Chen Su quickly approached.

Seeing Chen Su, Tan Zhou felt like he was looking at a savior. He pressed one hand on Chen Su's shoulder to keep his balance—he had been suppressed by pheromones the whole ride, his gland aching, his legs numb, barely able to stand.

Tan Zhou didn't have time to explain much, only managed to say, "Jinzong's injured and was injected with a special drug. He's in his rut right now... somewhat out of control. The pheromone concentration he's releasing is too high, with a suppressive quality. I can't get close."

Tan Zhou placed the medicine in Chen Su's palm: "These are anti-inflammatories and painkillers. Take one painkiller a day..."

Before he could finish—

The rear door opened. Zhao Jinzong leaned one arm on the center console, his other hand resting on his knee. The wind brushed the silver tassels on his shoulder, making them gently sway. The Enigma's brow furrowed, staring at the hand on Chen Su's shoulder, his gaze darkening.

An Enigma in rut has an extremely strong possessive instinct toward their partner.

They can easily become aggressive toward others.

Zhao Jinzong's thin lips parted slightly, his tone displeased: "Come here."

Chen Su was stunned for a second.

He had never seen Zhao Jinzong so fierce.

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Su had peeled an apple for Jiang An at the hospital and cut his hand. He had put on a band-aid and wasn't wearing his right glove. Right in front of Zhao Jinzong, he took the medicine from Tan Zhou's hand. A layer of icy frost instantly coated the Enigma's eyes.

This was fatal for an Enigma in rut.

Especially since Chen Su also has skin hunger.

Director Tan vaguely sensed the look was off: ...?

"Um..." Tan Zhou pulled his hand back from Chen Su's shoulder and stressed very emphatically, "Don't mention Sheng Beiqing during this time, no matter what. Also, he hasn't taken a single pill yet. Try to go along with him, pacify him as much as possible. Other than that... good luck."

"Okay." Chen Su put away the medicine.

Tan Zhou still felt uneasy. "Call me if you need anything. I'll send over two sedatives."

"Thanks." Chen Su walked over to Zhao Jinzong.

Zhao Jinzong watched Chen Su's steps, watching his long, straight legs in his suit pants.

As soon as half of Chen Su's body was in the car, a hand reached across and wrapped around his waist, pulling him onto his lap!

Two blister packs of pills fell from Chen Su's hand to the ground.

"Ah..." Chen Su looked down.

Zhao Jinzong's black leather shoes stepped on them. The metal foil made a harsh crunching sound as it was crushed underfoot.

Most of the pills were destroyed. Chen Su stared at those unreasonable leather shoes, then carefully held onto the remaining pills in his hand. He popped out two pills and handed them to Zhao Jinzong. "Open your mouth."
