Chapter 75: Do You Think This Is Enough for a Divorce?

Sheng Beiqing released a reassuring pheromone.

Chen Su's gaze was cold and sharp: "I've got a question for you."

Sheng Beiqing mustered his last bit of patience: "Alright... go ahead."

"Six months ago, did you accept the secret mission for a promotion?"

"Yes."

Chen Su let out a laugh. "Do you regret it?"

"Regret it. If I could do it over, I definitely wouldn't have..."

Chen Su interrupted, "No, if you could do it over, you would still accept the mission, even knowing that Zhao Jinzong would return. Sheng Beiqing, you always say you love me, but when it comes to interests and reality, you never choose me. You gamble—betting that I wouldn't dare get close to Zhao Jinzong, betting on how much I love him, just to control me."

"No, that's not true. You are very important." Sheng Beiqing gritted his teeth. "The thought of Zhao Jinzong touching you makes me want to kill him."

"But you won't kill him, because the Sheng family can't bear the Zhao family's wrath. You'll only choose to sweep it under the rug and then turn your tactics on me—coercing me, threatening me, trying to force our relationship back to how it was. Sheng Beiqing, you don't get love, so you don't deserve it."

"..."

Sheng Beiqing, made to feel like a weakling by Chen Su's words, his face darkened. "You think Zhao Jinzong is any better? Everyone who has a foothold in the capital weighs the pros and cons! Even the exalted General Administration! It's because you like Zhao Jinzong that you keep giving him so many rosy illusions!"

Sheng Beiqing didn't want to argue with Chen Su anymore; it was pointless. "I've taken a shower, Chen Su..."

Sheng Beiqing took a breath. "Behave yourself, and I won't hurt you."

Chen Su sneered. "He's different from you."

Sheng Beiqing's phone rang. Annoyed, he glanced at it—it was a call from a subordinate at the General Bureau. He hung up.

No sooner had he hung up than the phone rang again—this time from the Alpha Federation. It was after hours, and Sheng Beiqing didn't want to answer now, so he hung up again.

Then, Zhao Jinzong's name flashed across Sheng Beiqing's screen.

Sheng Beiqing instantly flew into a rage. He showed the screen to Chen Su. "Look—"

"The person you're so fixated on called me. He probably already knows you're missing. Chen Su, how about we call him back while we're doing it?"

Sheng Beiqing tossed the phone aside, stripped off his shirt, and pinched Chen Su's chin, leaning in for a kiss—when a sharp blade pressed against his carotid artery.

The rope binding Chen Su's wrists came loose.

Sheng Beiqing's brows furrowed.

Chen Su smiled. "Did you really think I'd believe you were willing to divorce me?"

When someone is kidnapped and searched, the first thing people look for is electronic devices.

Chen Su had come to file for divorce; no one would have thought to check his sleeve for a blade.

Sheng Beiqing laughed. "So, you knew it was a trap, yet you walked right into it? Chen Su, are you trying to kill me?"

Sheng Beiqing looked at Chen Su's weak and exhausted face. "Or do you think this will make me agree to divorce you?"

Chen Su had hidden the blade, but he'd taken the medicine and was now almost out of strength, barely holding on. Sheng Beiqing let out a warning pheromone, trying to grab the dangerous blade from Chen Su's hand.

Chen Su didn't hurt Sheng Beiqing. Instead, he turned the blade toward his own arm and slashed—blood gushed out.

Sheng Beiqing froze completely.

Chen Su handed the bloodstained blade to Sheng Beiqing. Stunned, Sheng Beiqing took it instinctively, then threw it away, frantically searching for disinfectant and bandages.

Chen Su was now completely drained of strength and collapsed onto the bed.

The locked door was kicked open. A tall figure silhouetted against the light stood in the doorway. Chen Su's bleeding arm rested on the soft white bed, a shocking sight.

Zhao Jinzong strode in, removed his trench coat, draped it over Chen Su, and lifted him effortlessly.

A group of armed alphas rushed in from outside, pinning Sheng Beiqing down. "Sorry, Vice Director."

The veins on Sheng Beiqing's forehead popped.

Zhao Jinzong held Chen Su and glanced back at Sheng Beiqing. His gaze shifted to the table, landing on the phone, the surveillance watch, and the divorce papers.

"Take him away."

Zhao Jinzong coldly uttered two words and left.

Tanzhou was at the door. Zhao Jinzong said in a low voice, "Help me buy some bandages and disinfectant."

Tanzhou looked at Chen Su's exposed wrist. "Okay."

Zhao Jinzong got into the car still holding Chen Su, silent, brows furrowed. His handsome face was frosted over, sharp and biting.

Tanzhou bought the supplies and brought them over. Zhao Jinzong closed the car door and instructed Uncle Wen to drive back to the Chen residence.

Zhao Jinzong disinfected and bandaged Chen Su.

After dressing the wound, Zhao Jinzong didn't say a word.

Chen Su explained, "Zhao Jinzong, I didn't..."

The veins on Zhao Jinzong's forehead popped. He glanced at Chen Su's arm. "Chen Su, do you think this is enough for a divorce?"

The Alpha Federation rules say using pheromone suppression or domestic violence on a spouse is grounds for divorce.

The success rate of divorce petitions like that is pretty high.

That was Chen Su's goal.

Chen Su: "............"

Caught red-handed, Chen Su had nothing to say.

The car sped along the road. Chen Su remained silent for a long time.

When the car reached Chen Su's doorstep, Zhao Jinzong sat motionless in the back seat. Uncle Wen got out, opened the door for Chen Su, picked up the first-aid bag from the back seat, and escorted Chen Su back to the villa.

Chen Su stood outside the car door, looking at Zhao Jinzong, who remained unmoved, showing no intention of coming.

Chen Su admitted his mistake. "I was impulsive."

Zhao Jinzong said flatly, "Mm."

Chen Su lowered his eyes and returned to the villa. Uncle Wen walked him inside and reminded him, "Mr. Chen, today's incident really worried Director Zhao. He spent the whole day looking for you."

"Actually, regarding the divorce... Director Zhao had already thought of a solution for you. If you wait two more days, you'll have news. You did something so dangerous—you should've told Director Zhao beforehand... If he hadn't found you, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Chen Su was too reckless and didn't consult anyone.
