Chapter 100 Donation Agreement

Chapter 100: Donation Agreement

Chen Su kept staring at the message on his phone screen, thinking about the ring he lost today. He slowly replied, "Okay" and then turned off the screen.

The day after returning to the capital, Chen Su went to see Meng Suizhi.

When Meng Suizhi learned that Chen Su was still alive, he immediately took leave and rushed over, still in his white lab coat.

Chen Su had reserved a table at a restaurant. After Meng Suizhi arrived, he handed him the menu. Meng Suizhi didn't look at it and said, "You order."

Chen Su ordered the dishes.

The waiter left with the menu. Meng Suizhi grabbed Chen Su's arm and said, "Han Yu... Han Yu... he..."

Meng Suizhi's voice caught in his throat. After a long while, he forced out the words: "Before he died, did he say anything to you?"

After he was cleared of suspicion, Meng Suizhi was demoted for allowing an unauthorized outsider into the Drug Administration Bureau and failing to report it. He was no longer Deputy Director Meng, but he didn't really care about the position anyway.

His lover died on a yacht a year ago, and branded a villain, he was nailed to the pillar of shame. Colleagues always gave Meng Suizhi strange looks and described Han Yu with vicious language. Han Yu had done wrong, and it was what he deserved.

Meng Suizhi knew that.

But his heart always ached. Others only knew that Han Yu had done wrong; only Meng Suizhi knew that Han Yu could have been stopped before it came to that.

Every night when he got home, Meng Suizhi couldn't help but dwell on the past and regret.

If he had known Han Yu would end up like this, he shouldn't have been so hard on Han Yu, shouldn't have kicked him out.

If Han Yu hadn't left, he'd still be alive, waiting for him to come home. If he came home late, Han Yu would claim him; if he got too close to an alpha, Han Yu would go crazy and mark him. During his rut, despite the pheromone rejection, Han Yu would go against his instinct to seek an omega for relief and stay by his side, holding him, claiming him.

Meng Suizhi used to resent that Han Yu was insatiable and brutal.

Now he would give anything for it.

As long as Han Yu was alive, anything could be worked out.

Chen Su was stunned. "He..."

"Did he have a reason? Is he... is he angry at me?" Meng Suizhi tightened his grip on Chen Su's arm.

"He's alive," Chen Su said. "Hasn't he come to you?"

"..."

Meng Suizhi's mind went completely blank.

"A year ago, Han Yu saved me. I had fainted on the deck, and he helped me out. I was unconscious... Later, we were rescued. He hit his head on a rock, his face was scarred, and his mind was affected. He only remembers two things now."

"What?"

"He only remembers two things: finding you and your home address."

"So..." Meng Suizhi frowned deeply.

Chen Su explained: "A year ago, he wanted to gain Jiang An's trust on his own and then destroy the yacht. He took down many of the alphas guarding the yacht. He saved me and a lot of other people. Meng Suizhi, he didn't go bad."

"..."

"You never went home, and after a fight, you wouldn't go to him. He thought you didn't love him, so he left. There's only one reason he left—he hoped you wouldn't have to worry about the alpha medications anymore, that you could rest. He wanted you to get a good night's sleep."

"..." Meng Suizhi suddenly laughed out loud.

Tears spilled from the corners of his eyes, and his usual elegance and composure were completely gone.

Everything Han Yu did was for Meng Suizhi.

But in the end, even Meng Suizhi didn't believe him.

How absurd it was.

Meng Suizhi lowered his head, laughing, his chest trembling.

Chen Su asked, "Does Zhao Jinzong have a new alpha?"

Meng Suizhi shook his head.

Chen Su spoke again, "Zhao Jinzong..."

Meng Suizhi interrupted, "Chen Su, I recently learned something."

"Hmm?"

"The reason Xiao Li's gland came so quickly is that Zhao Jinzong signed a donation agreement with the Federation."

"..." A bad feeling rose in Chen Su's chest.

"A post-mortem donation agreement."

Chen Su's heart suddenly constricted.

"Within the Four Bureaus, anyone who signs this agreement gets priority use of glands. Xiao Li's body was in such bad shape that without a compatibility of over 98%, he could never have survived the surgery. Through regular legal channels, it would take at least half a year to get a gland."

"A 98% compatibility is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even in ten years or a lifetime, you might not find one."

Chen Su's throat tightened. After a long while, he said, "But Zhao Jinzong said the new gland's compatibility with Xiao Li's was 87%... He lied to me."

Zhao Jinzong had lied.

Zhao Jinzong traded himself to let Xiao Li live.

But that day, Chen Su had spoken harshly to Zhao Jinzong and proposed a breakup.

How sad Zhao Jinzong must have been...

When Chen Su looked up, his eyes were red.

"Can I return to the Drug Supervision Bureau?"

"I'll go ask Director Tan tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Su couldn't say another word.

Neither Chen Su nor Meng Suizhi ate much during the meal. After the gathering, Meng Suizhi went home, and Chen Su also left. He stood on the street, looking up at the sky of the capital, bitterness seeping from his eyes.

How precious the gland of an Enigma was.

Chen Su simply couldn't imagine how Zhao Jinzong felt that night when Chen Su broke up with him.

How could Zhao Jinzong not say a single word... Zhao Jinzong never talked about so many things he did.

......

Meng Suizhi parked the car and broke into a run.

His heart was pounding.

A year ago, a tall alpha used to crouch at his doorstep. Meng Suizhi called the police, and they took the man away. A doctor came to pick him up, claiming to be the alpha's relative and saying the alpha had mental issues, and apologized.

Meng Suizhi accepted it.

Two months later, that alpha came again.

As soon as Meng Suizhi pulled out his phone, the alpha left, looking back at him with disappointment in his eyes.

Meng Suizhi frowned, feeling only disgust.

Because this alpha's pheromones were also bitter rosemary, far too similar to Han Yu's.

Every time he caught a scent like bitter rosemary, it made Meng Suizhi think of his late lover.
