A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 26.2
An Alpha attacked by the rut without an Omega’s comfort can be temporarily relieved once, or twice, but if it’s frequent, it’s easy to lose control and ultimately harm the other person.
“Youpan, do you know what it means to be with an Alpha?”
Luo Panzhi frowned when he heard his father ask this, his expression somewhat incredulous, as if he couldn’t believe his father would be this way: “Dad, do you disagree?”
Chu Yiqiao looked sideways at the operating room where the red light was still on. After a moment of thought, he decided to tell his son the most serious possibilities: “It’s not that I disagree; it’s that you have to accept reality. There is naturally nothing wrong with two Alphas falling in love. But you need to know that if it’s your rut, without an Omega’s comfort, you will become manic and lose control. You could very likely lose your mind and injure your Alpha. This is not something that can be solved just by saying you love him; this is an irreversible condition determined by genetics.”
“Falling in love is not wrong, but the mutual destruction of two Alphas is very painful.”
Luo Panzhi’s eyes gradually turned red, his thin lips trembling: “Dad, didn’t you say… didn’t you say he can accept my pheromones? There’s nothing wrong with me liking him. That’s why we are attracted to each other, isn’t it? How is it painful?”
Chu Yiqiao looked at his naturally proud second son. He had never seen him look like this. Of course, he hoped his son could find his beloved, but he also didn’t want his child to be hurt, nor did he want Gu Yuxi to be hurt.
The fact that the two of them, being Alphas, didn’t reject each other was already the best possible outcome. The most dangerous factor was the irreversible rut.
“Youpan, if Yuxi enters his rut, you can help him. But if you enter your rut, can you guarantee that you won’t hurt him? You should be very clear about the specific symptoms of the rut. Even if you haven’t experienced it, you should know that it can instantly make an Alpha lose their mind, falling into a state of anxiety and mania, desperately needing an Omega.”
“Can you guarantee that?”
“I can.”
The words left his mouth almost without thought. Chu Yiqiao met Luo Panzhi’s red, yet resolute and bright eyes—a burst of passion and recklessness belonging to this age, and the first time he had seen a truly radiating light of devotion in this son.
Luo Panzhi stood up. He let go of the hemostatic swab. Despite pressing it for so long, the area where a large amount of blood had been drawn was still swollen, but he ignored it completely, only staring at the red light on the operating room, praying for the door to open quickly.
“I can guarantee it. So no one can stop me from loving Gu Yuxi. Including you, Father. No one can.”
If that day truly came, he would hide and absolutely would not hurt Gu Yuxi.
Just as he finished speaking, the light on the operating room abruptly turned green, and the door opened immediately.
Luo Panzhi’s eyes instantly lit up. He immediately walked to the operating room door, saw Doctor Su walk out, and quickly grabbed his arm, looking at him anxiously: “Is he okay? Does he still need blood? If so, just draw mine.”
Doctor Su took off his mask, looked a little surprised to see CEO Chu behind Luo Panzhi, nodded a greeting, and then looked back at Luo Panzhi: “He’s out of danger, but he needs some time to recover. Right now, the pheromone concentration in his body is very unstable. He might need you, Young CEO Luo, to…”
He paused mid-sentence, seemingly uncertain about whether to speak, and subconsciously glanced at CEO Chu.
Chu Yiqiao nodded, signaling him to speak.
“Need me to do what?” Luo Panzhi’s tone rose; he was clearly anxious.
“A pseudo-marking.”
Luo Panzhi was stunned, clearly unfamiliar with the term. He had heard of a pseudo-heat, but what did a pseudo-marking mean?
“Lawyer Gu’s pheromone concentration might be very unstable during this time. It means temporarily becoming his Alpha when Lawyer Gu’s pheromone concentration is too high and performing a pseudo-marking on him.”
“This concept is very similar to the B.O. Sex-Inducer. It’s like a Beta, after being injected with the sex-inducer, temporarily differentiates an Alpha pheromone during an Omega’s heat to mark the Omega.”
—Temporarily becoming his Alpha.
Luo Panzhi’s eyes flickered. The phrase sent a tingling sensation through his heart, making him feel a little excited. Becoming Gu Yuxi’s Alpha? He wanted to—he wanted to so badly.
“However, this is only temporary, because for Lawyer Gu himself, accepting your pheromones means he might experience various rejection reactions, especially toward his future Omega.”
“What do you mean?” Luo Panzhi’s face instantly darkened at the phrase “future Omega.”
Doctor Su explained: “During the resuscitation process, we discovered that there were two reasons for Lawyer Gu’s excessive nasal bleeding and shock. First, Lawyer Gu’s pheromone concentration exceeded 70%. Second, the reason he experienced rejection with that Omega’s pheromones was that your pheromones, Young CEO Luo, inside Lawyer Gu’s body, rejected that Omega’s pheromones.”
Luo Panzhi slowly lowered his hand, his expression solemn, as if he were a criminal: “Are you saying that it’s because of me that he experienced rejection with that Omega?”
His body suddenly swayed, as if struck by a lightning bolt.
Xu Wen quickly reached out to support his young CEO Luo: “Young CEO Luo, are you alright?”
Doctor Su was also unsure whether he should explain this to Luo Panzhi. The concept of secondary differentiation was too complex, and since there were few case studies to support it, it was truly difficult to explain clearly to Luo Panzhi in a short time.
He also hadn’t expected the world’s first case of secondary differentiation and the world’s first case of 100% Alpha-Alpha pheromone compatibility to appear right before him.
“I’ll explain this. Only I understand this best.” Chu Yiqiao patted Luo Panzhi’s shoulder, seeing his distressed look, he couldn’t help but smile slightly: “Youpan, you’ve changed quite a bit since I last saw you a few months ago.”
Just as Luo Panzhi desperately wanted his father to explain, he saw the hospital bed being pushed out of the operating room, and his body instantly froze.
Gu Yuxi was lying on it, his face extremely pale, his lips so colorless they were nearly white, showing almost no blood. There was a cut on his chin, covered with a bandage, indicating an injury. One hand was receiving a blood transfusion, and the other was on an IV drip. The white shirt, almost soaked in blood, was his.
For a moment, Luo Panzhi’s body stiffened and he couldn’t move. He couldn’t even budge.
“Youpan?”
Luo Panzhi only somewhat recovered when his father called his name in his ear. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then walked to the bedside.
Luo Panzhi looked down at Gu Yuxi, who was lying with his eyes closed on the bed. His nose felt a little sour. He gently touched the chin covered by the bandage: “… What happened here? Did he fall?”
“He probably hit his chin when he fainted. It required five stitches. His knee was also struck, probably hitting the ground first when he passed out. It has been treated.”
Luo Panzhi slowly looked up at Doctor Su, a somber look spreading in his eyes: “Five stitches? His knee was also injured?”
He immediately checked Gu Yuxi’s legs, pulling up his suit trousers. Through the cold, pale skin, the bruises on both knees were dark and bruised, looking particularly gruesome.
At that moment, his heart felt like it was being fiercely squeezed by a hand, repeatedly ravaged and tormenting his rationality.
The hand pulling up the suit trousers trembled. His other hand gripped the bed rail, the knuckles turning white from the force. His gaze rested on the bruising on both knees. He gritted his teeth, his jawline taut, and his eyes gradually reddened.
His rationality told him not to act impulsively, but his heartache told him that if that Omega had done this to Gu Yuxi, he would not be merciful because of their gender. Those who do wrong must pay the price.
If he found out it was Mo Wenbin…
If this person isn’t dead,
That would be even better.
“Dad, if I remember correctly, violating the victim’s will and using violence, threats, injury, or other means to force sexual behavior, if the victim is an Omega, is punishable by death, right?” Luo Panzhi’s gaze did not shift from Gu Yuxi’s face.
Chu Yiqiao sensed the displeasure emanating from all around Luo Panzhi: “Yes.”
The corner of Luo Panzhi’s lips lifted in a cold, contemptuous smile. His tongue pressed against his jaw, the hostility in his eyes was completely unconcealed, and the depths of his eyes were full of cold intent: “Dad, do you know the person who bullied Big Dad at the orphanage back then? That person isn’t dead, you know.”
Chu Yiqiao furrowed his brow. He certainly knew about that matter, but he thought that person had died, so the matter had been dropped.
He’s actually not dead?
“Dad, when Big Dad was bullied back then, did you feel sad? Did you mercifully let that villain go? I know you didn’t. So, I will be like you; I won’t let go of anyone who has hurt him.” Luo Panzhi slightly lifted his eyelids and looked sideways at Chu Yiqiao: “You know me. I’m fiercely protective.”
Chu Yiqiao listened to the cruelty in his son’s casual tone. He certainly knew his son’s personality. Though pampered since childhood, he was also the most ambitious person.
“Do whatever you need to do, but don’t cross the line.” Chu Yiqiao patted his son’s shoulder: “For everything else, your fathers will always stand behind you.”
Luo Panzhi nodded. He withdrew his gaze and then stared intently at the unconscious Gu Yuxi, his eyes completely stained with ruthlessness.
Mo Wenbin, have the guts to run.
It would be best not to be caught by him before death. If the police catch him first, he’s lucky. If Luo Panzhi catches him first, he won’t be so polite as to say, “You have the right to remain silent.”
He won’t cripple him silently, but he definitely won’t be having a good time.
He touched my man? Want to die?
It’s not that easy.
