Chapter 114 Wanting to Be Closer to Zhao Jinzong

Chen Su's actions went over well with Zhao Jinzong.

Zhao Jinzong put his big hand on the back of Chen Su's head and gently pulled him into a hug.

And that's how Chen Su ended up.

On the sixth day, he barely managed to pull a few inches away from him. Zhao Jinzong glanced at him, brows slightly furrowed, his expression cold.

The Enigma's rut hadn't been soothed for a long time, so this time it lasted exceptionally long. Even on the sixth day, Zhao Jinzong wasn't fully conscious for most of the time.

Zhao Jinzong's furrowed brows made Chen Su inexplicably feel guilty.

At that moment, he was sitting on Zhao Jinzong's lap. Having just managed to pull away, he now had to go back to calm the Enigma down. He cupped Zhao Jinzong's face, intending to kiss him, but Zhao Jinzong pressed a finger to his lips.

Chen Su's earlier actions had displeased the Enigma during his rut.

Chen Su kissed Zhao Jinzong's slender fingers, then rose slightly, "Let me take care of it…"

…

Zhao Jinzong finally woke up fully on the eighth day.

When Chen Su woke up in the morning, the space beside him was empty.

He got up immediately. On the floor was a shirt too torn to wear, so Chen Su grabbed an oversized shirt from Zhao Jinzong's closet and put on his suit pants. While washing up, his hands got wet, and he rolled up his sleeves while heading downstairs.

Zhao Jinzong was having breakfast.

Chen Su was in a good mood to see him early in the morning, so he sat across from Zhao Jinzong.

While they ate, Chen Su's gaze was quickly drawn to Zhao Jinzong's wrists.

On Zhao Jinzong's wrists and hands were red marks.

The culprit was obvious: Chen Su.

Over these almost seven crazy days, even though Zhao Jinzong was the one in rut, Chen Su hadn't held back at all… leaving marks over and over on Zhao Jinzong's body.

Zhao Jinzong's wrists, neck, collarbones—all were covered in Chen Su's hickeys.

After these seven days, Chen Su realized that perhaps they would return to their previous relationship…

Zhao Jinzong was going back to the Federation.

Even if they had the mark now, Zhao Jinzong would still go.

After finishing his meal, Chen Su looked up and asked, "Can I get a ride with you to the Drug Supervision Bureau?"

Chen Su didn't have the strength to drive now. Even moving hurt, and walking was worse.

Zhao Jinzong looked up. "Mm."

Chen Su finished eating and searched for his phone for a while but couldn't find it. He looked at Zhao Jinzong. "My phone…"

Zhao Jinzong set Chen Su's phone on the table.

It was turned off.

Chen Su took the turned-off phone and got into the car. In the car, he charged it, and the phone finally turned on. A few missed calls from Meng Suizhi appeared on the screen.

Chen Su called back. Meng Suizhi sighed softly. "It's okay. Are you… coming to the Bureau today?"

"Mm."

"Alright, I'll talk to you later." Meng Suizhi hung up.

Chen Su adjusted his seat, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

When the car arrived at the Bureau, Uncle Wen called his name, waking him.

Before opening the car door, Chen Su looked at Zhao Jinzong. "I'm going to work now."

"Mm."

Chen Su left without a single word about the mark.

After getting out of the car and entering Experimental Base No. 5, Chen Su touched the back of his neck.

He had been marked by Zhao Jinzong—a temporary mark.

Chen Su couldn't tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

With the mark, Chen Su should be able to find out where Zhao Jinzong will be staying after returning to the Federation, right?

The marked gland felt hot…

Chen Su walked into the office. Meng Suizhi was slouched in his chair, looking listless, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in days.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Suizhi looked up. "Han Yu is gone."

"…Isn't he…? Where could he go?"

"I don't know. I've looked everywhere I could."

"Sorry… I wasn't able to help you these past couple of days."

"It's fine. Dr. Liu already helped me search. I just wanted to ask if he's contacted you." Meng Suizhi looked at Chen Su with a final glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Thanks anyway." Meng Suizhi lowered his head.

"Why did he suddenly leave?"

"Dr. Liu's son came back. Maybe it was feeling like he didn't belong, or maybe something else… If I hadn't gotten sick that night, if I had gone to find him, maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this." Meng Suizhi let out a deep sigh.

"Did you call the police?"

"Yeah, but there's no leads…"

…

At noon, representatives from the International Federation arrived.

Chen Su was called to the conference room for another oral report regarding the incident on the yacht.

Zhao Jinzong sat at the center, dressed in formal attire with silver tassels draping over his shoulders, looking imposing.

The presiding judge asked, "Why did you go to Antarctica alone?"

Chen Su replied, "For the common good, I didn’t want any more innocent people to become experimental subjects. For personal reasons, I’m from the city of Huaicheng, a witness to this old case, and also one of the experimental subjects. Of course, I’m not innocent—I volunteered at that time, wanting to become an alpha."

Chen Su explained his family situation in detail.

He looked at Zhao Jinzong. "I know the pressure my loved one is under, and I couldn’t stay indifferent. Back then, I didn’t have much time left to live. I wanted to do something—for him, for the International Federation, and to make sure there would never be any more innocent victims."

The judges exchanged glances. "What relationship do you have with him?"

Chen Su smiled. "I dated General Director Zhao for a while. I loved him deeply."

Chen Su said everything he knew, wanted to say, and could say.

Zhao Jinzong sat in the main seat, silent.

Since Chen Su had a direct relationship with Zhao Jinzong, it was inappropriate for Zhao Jinzong to speak.

After the hearing, the judge stood up, removed his hat, and bowed to Chen Su.

Chen Su’s sense of justice would be rewarded, but his impulsiveness would also face appropriate punishment. Of course, so as not to discourage a loyal contributor, the merits would outweigh the faults.

The judge asked Chen Su if there was anything he wanted.

Chen Su said he wanted a promotion in rank.

The faster Chen Su was promoted, the closer he would get to the International Federation...

He wanted to be closer to Zhao Jinzong.
