1122 - Chapter 4
Later, he made a mistake, he didn’t realize that Director Duan’s lover was pregnant and took him to extract gland pheromones using sex-inducing agents just to alleviate Director Duan’s rut period.
He nearly caused a disaster and was ultimately demoted by Director Duan.
Because of this, he felt deeply guilty.
Puppy spent a long time comforting him, saying that Galaxy Group would welcome him anytime if he was willing. He jokingly replied, “I’d never go to Galaxy Group. I hate Yan Nanchen.”
At the time, he didn’t notice his boyfriend’s expression, but he gradually realized that his phrase “I hate Yan Nanchen” had become a habit. Even though Yan Nanchen hadn’t done anything to him since at most, staring at him during meetings between their respective groups.
Later, Director Duan gave him a chance to return to his position to accompany his lover, Luo Songran. Without hesitation, he agreed, thinking that since he had nearly endangered Director Duan’s lover last time, he absolutely had to keep him safe this time.
But he never expected things to go wrong.
A secondary differentiation special medicine still in clinical trials was stolen from Galaxy Research Institute. A full dose during trials would be divided into ten portions to ensure safety.
If a full dose were injected into a non-secondary differentiation individual, it would trigger severe life-threatening rejection. For those with latent secondary differentiation, it could directly trigger the process.
The car drove toward increasingly desolate outskirts, heading for a remote, sparsely populated village.
Jiang Yi quickly sent a message to Puppy, but just as he hit send, the car suddenly swerved and braked hard. His phone fell to the floor, and the momentum threw him forward.
“Ugh!”
“Are you okay? Where did you hit?!” Hearing the noise, he immediately turned to Luo Songran, completely forgetting about the unsent message. He hurriedly steadied him, only to see his face had turned even paler. Furious, he glared at the man driving.
“I’m fine, it’s okay.”
Just as Jiang Yi was about to explode, he heard the car’s engine rev again. A bad feeling struck him was this Alpha insane enough to deliberately jostle the car like this? Worried, he glanced at Luo Songran. This was a pregnant man, he couldn’t handle this kind of treatment.
“Since my lover is gone, there’s no point in me living. But I won’t swallow this injustice. If Yan Nanchen doesn’t give me a satisfactory answer, I won’t let him off either.”
The man in the driver’s seat slammed the accelerator, speeding straight toward a shabby self-built house ahead.
Jiang Yi’s eyes darkened. Damn Yan Nanchen, how had he handled this mess? His hand shot out to grip the passenger seat, and he shouted at Luo Songran, “Hold onto the handle!” Then, with a forceful lunge, he threw himself into the front seat and grabbed the steering wheel.
The sudden movement threw the man off balance.
The two began wrestling for control of the wheel.
The car lurched violently as the wheel was yanked, tires skidding wildly on the sparse, muddy ground.
“Are you out of your damn mind?! Can’t we talk this through? Do you really think you’ll escape punishment for this?!” Jiang Yi strained to wrench the steering wheel from the man’s grip.
The veins on his neck bulged faintly from exertion, but it still seemed somewhat strenuous, mainly because the man had his foot on the accelerator, determined to crash into the direction of the self-built house.
If they really collided, they would definitely be in trouble, not to mention Luo Songran was pregnant. So he would rather take the risk.
“Only this way can I make my demands clear! Without causing such a commotion, how would a small fry like me ever matter to Galaxy Group? The wealthy with overwhelming power can cover the sky with one hand, let alone a single life!!!” The man, red-faced, wrestled with Jiang Yi for control of the steering wheel, flooring the accelerator.
Amid the fierce struggle for the wheel, the car crashed into a tree on the side, slightly cushioning the speed but jolting everyone inside violently.
“My stomach hurts so bad.”
Jiang Yi whipped his head around to see Luo Songran collapsed in the back seat. His pupils constricted, and the fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He lunged at the driver’s seat, pinning down the Alpha, and swiftly drove his elbow into the man’s face with aggressive force and speed.
Caught off guard by the powerful blow, the man’s mouth immediately turned red. Perhaps enraged by the hit, he grabbed something from the side and stabbed it hard into Jiang Yi’s shoulder.
Jiang Yi didn’t even know what the man had stabbed him with. Looking down, he saw a syringe embedded in his shoulder, it had been so fast he barely felt any pain.
Quick as lightning, he grabbed the man’s hand, trying to pull the syringe out, but it was too late.
“This dose of Secondary Differentiation Special Medicine is for you.” The man had already injected all the liquid in the syringe into Jiang Yi’s shoulder. He then yanked the needle out and tossed it out the window, laughing wildly. “Live or die, I don’t know. But my lover is dead, and now I have nothing left to fear.”
He sat back, staring at Jiang Yi in the passenger seat as if waiting for something.
At first, Jiang Yi felt nothing. Using his positional advantage, he kept the man pinned down. But within seconds, his face turned deathly pale.
An excruciating pain erupted from his gland, so intense it felt like his flesh was being torn open. The agony instantly sapped his strength. His heart pounded violently, as if about to burst his eardrums, while a bone-chilling coldness from his reversed blood flow overwhelmed him with suffering.
His grip on the man’s hand trembled and loosened. His face drained of color as he clutched the back of his neck, collapsing back into the seat. His rationality snapped completely, leaving him utterly incapacitated.
The pain was so severe it nearly stole his breath away.
Why did his gland hurt so much?
Just as he struggled desperately to gasp for air, his hand clawed at the car door with all his might. But the man in the driver’s seat was faster, he flung the passenger door open and kicked Jiang Yi out, then slammed it shut again.
The force of the kick sent Jiang Yi tumbling several times across the gravel and dirt, kicking up dust. In an instant, his back slammed against a jagged rock. But the worst pain wasn’t from these superficial wounds it was the burning, tearing sensation from his lacerated gland.
He felt as though his internal organs were being ravaged by the pain radiating from his gland. It was as if someone was taking a blunt knife, slicing open his gland over and over, stitching together the sensitive nerves inside one by one, and then leaving the wound exposed without even administering anesthesia.
This agony spread to his heart, making it ache unbearably.
Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His pale face was splattered with droplets of blood, the rise and fall of his chest gradually weakening as his strength drained away. His eyelids grew heavy so tired, so much pain.
Yet all he could do was watch helplessly as the car drove further and further away until it disappeared from sight.
It’s over. Director Duan is going to scold him again for failing to protect the little golden bean.
When that full dose of Secondary Differentiation Special Medicine was injected into his heart, his body instantly went numb, his breath caught in his throat, and he was certain he was going to die.
Puppy, your brother is really too much. This mess wasn’t handled properly and so many people got dragged into it. Now it’s over, he failed to protect Director Duan’s little golden bean again. He couldn’t even protect himself.
Was he really going to die?
Puppy, if only he had hugged you one more time before leaving today, kissed you one more time.
Puppy, if he died, would you cry?
Puppy, blame Yan Nanchen for this.
The afternoon sun was scorching, and in this deserted spot, how many people would pass by?
“Oh my god, old man, there’s someone lying here!”
“Hurry, call an ambulance! This is terrifying!”
“Young man, can you hear us?”
Jiang Yi slowly closed his eyes.
Before losing consciousness completely, he smiled.
Surviving a great disaster brings boundless blessings.
Puppy, I’m going to marry you. I’m going to be with you forever and ever.
Meanwhile, Yan Nanchen who had been searching for both his brother and Jiang Yi received a call from the hospital.
“Hello, is this Mr. Chu Beiheng?”
Hearing that name, Yan Nanchen’s heart skipped a beat. The only person who knew this number was Jiang Yi. He couldn’t care about anything else now. “Yes, it’s me.”
“Your partner’s name is Jiang Yi, correct?”
“Yes.”
“He was injected with an unknown drug, triggering a sudden secondary differentiation with signs of turning into an Omega. He belongs to the recessive Secondary Differentiation Population, and his condition is critical. He’s lost a lot of blood and is currently undergoing emergency treatment. Please come to the hospital immediately.”
Yan Nanchen’s mind went blank with a deafening buzz. He froze in place, phone in hand.
Injected with an unknown drug.
Sudden secondary differentiation with signs of turning into an Omega.
Losing too much blood, undergoing emergency treatment.
It was his fault.
He was the one who harmed Jiang Yi.
If he had handled Chen Ri’s matter properly, Jiang Yi wouldn’t have been injected with the Secondary Differentiation Special Medicine while protecting Ranran, and now he was showing signs of turning into an Omega.
He was finished.
Yan Nanchen, you’re finished.
“Stall the kidnapper for me first. I need to go to the hospital.” Yan Nanchen hung up and turned to Duan Yizhou beside him. “Jiang Yi’s been found. I need to go to the hospital.”
Duan Yizhou grabbed Yan Nanchen’s arm, noticing how terrible he looked. “How is Jiang Yi?”
“He was likely injected with an overdose of the Secondary Differentiation Special Medicine. The doctor said he’s part of the hidden Secondary Differentiation Population, now showing signs of differentiating into an Omega.” Yan Nanchen struggled to maintain his composure, his eyes red-rimmed as he looked at Duan Yizhou. ” I know I shouldn’t leave now, but this is Jiang Yi. He has no family to notify, he only has me. So, I must go to the hospital immediately. Please take care of Ranran for me.”
At this moment, he couldn’t even consider that his lies might soon be exposed. His mind was completely consumed by thoughts of Jiang Yi.
With that, he turned and hurried away.
How was his Yi Yi now? Was he in pain? Was he feeling helpless? Was he…
Hating Yan Nanchen?
Yan Nanchen felt a dull, spreading ache radiating from his chest. His breathing felt suspended, tangled with self-loathing in his heart.
He hated Yan Nanchen too.
Why did he have to be Yan Nanchen?
