A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 4

The next day, as expected, Ruixing Hospital sent the deceased Beta’s physical examination report before the injection, the agent’s sensitivity test records, and the 42-hour observation records to the Galaxy Group.

Assistant Xu Wen saw that his boss was in a good mood and immediately felt relieved.

“You can go get busy first,” Luo Panzhi said, looking up at his assistant.

Assistant Xu Wen nodded. “Yes, Young CEO Luo.” He then left the office.

After the assistant was gone, Luo Panzhi began to carefully read the reports. It wasn’t that he was overly suspicious; it was just that he couldn’t trust many people until everything was settled.

He didn’t want to make any mistakes, and he didn’t want to disappoint his fathers. If he couldn’t handle this matter well, even if his fathers helped him, he wouldn’t be able to get over it.

He read carefully for half an hour, still feeling that something was strange.

Suddenly, a person came to mind.

He picked up the reports and left his office, walking to the one next door.

Knock, knock, knock—

“Lawyer Gu, it’s me.”

Gu Yuxi was methodically lowering the blinds on the glass wall, and after making sure everything was in place, he turned around. “Please come in.”

Then he sat back down at his desk.

Luo Panzhi pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see Gu Yuxi sit down. He raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing, Lawyer Gu?”

“I’ve been sitting for a while, just getting up to stretch.” Gu Yuxi gestured for Luo Panzhi to sit down. “Has Young CEO Luo made any progress?” he asked, looking up, his gaze falling on Luo Panzhi’s relaxed brows.

In the air, he keenly detected the less restless fluctuations of Luo Panzhi’s pheromones.

The slightly intoxicated Oolong was a very pleasant tea scent, making him feel even better than just watching from behind the glass.

It soothed the discomfort caused by his own pheromonal fluctuations.

“Ruixing Hospital just brought the reports over. I feel like something’s not quite right, and then I thought of you.” Luo Panzhi walked straight to Gu Yuxi’s side and casually sat on the corner of his desk. He bent one leg and rested one hand on the desk, turning sideways as he handed him the reports. “Didn’t you say you spent some time at the research institute? You should remember your sensitivity test reactions to the agent and how you felt within 42 hours after the injection, right?”

Gu Yuxi calmly glanced at Luo Panzhi’s expensive leather shoe pressed against his trousers, then discreetly looked away. He didn’t mind Luo Panzhi’s proximity and reached out to take the reports.

For those three years, he had indeed been at the research institute. He was naturally very familiar with these reports and records, especially his own, because his physique was unique. He was the first Alpha with a secondary differentiation. Because his pheromones were difficult to suppress during the final differentiation into an Alpha, CEO Chu and CEO Luo personally supervised him.

The tests were done over and over again, and he reviewed the data repeatedly, so he naturally couldn’t forget them.

When he saw the familiar data, his thoughts began to drift.

He knew that the reason he was given so much attention was for experimental purposes, but he was still grateful that CEO Chu and CEO Luo not only helped him but also provided him with an education that his peers couldn’t get.

His years at the research institute were his introduction to a strong interest in biomedical science. As for why he chose to become a lawyer, it was because of a single sentence from CEO Chu:

“Yuxi, ten years from now, would you be willing to become the umbrella for the Galaxy Group?”

From then on, he studied relentlessly, remembering that inspiring ideal. Having grown up in an orphanage without parents, he found that he too had the ability to become a shield.

And now, he had done it. He had not only become the legal shield for the Galaxy Group, but he had also been sent back by CEO Chu and CEO Luo to become the heir’s protector.

“Yuxi, my son Youpan has now joined the company as the Executive CEO, but he might not be able to handle this matter on his own. He needs your assistance. Will you help him?”

“The data in the agent sensitivity test report is wrong.” Gu Yuxi pointed with his finger at a specific hourly value in the 42-hour dynamic data report next to it. “The sensitivity test reaction should change along with the 42-hour dynamic data. But at this point, one value is a pheromone concentration of 75.23%, and the other is 75.32%. This report has been altered.”

“And—” He looked up at Luo Panzhi, only to find that he was staring back at him. Luo Panzhi was open and candid, showing no sign of finding this strange.

Luo Panzhi leaned on the edge of the desk, bending slightly. He looked at Gu Yuxi, a smile on his lips. “And what?”

With the distance shortened, Gu Yuxi noticed the beauty mark on Luo Panzhi’s nose. It seemed to move with the slight curve of his lips, a movement that tickled his heart.

Gu Yuxi looked away, his lips pressed together, suppressing the ripples in his heart. After a moment, he said, “And the concentration is incorrect. Even if a Beta is injected with the agent, their pheromone concentration cannot reach this high. A normal Alpha’s concentration is 60-70%, and an Omega’s is 70-99%. A Beta has no pheromone concentration. Since his partner is an Omega, he was injected with a pseudo-alpha agent, and the peak value should be 45-50%. This is the concentration of pseudo-alpha pheromones.”

“But one of the values is as high as over 75%.”

Luo Panzhi’s playful expression vanished. He looked out the window, his brows slightly furrowed. “Are you saying this Beta might not be a Beta?”

Gu Yuxi flipped through the pages and found the Beta’s identification information. He saw that the Beta was only 20, which aligned with his guess.

“The agent triggered a secondary differentiation.”

“A secondary differentiation, just like you?”

They both spoke in unison and then looked at each other.

Luo Panzhi crossed his arms and leaned closer to Gu Yuxi. He smiled. “Lawyer Gu, we are truly a perfect match. We think so much alike.”

Gu Yuxi quietly widened the distance between them, which was giving rise to too many fantasies, and continued to look at the report. “A.O.s typically differentiate at age 16. This Beta is 20, which means his first differentiation was likely into a Beta. After exposure to the agent, a rejection reaction occurred with his secondary differentiation, and this concentration indicates that he differentiated into an Omega.”

Luo Panzhi instantly understood the reason for the Beta’s death. “So, this Beta was actually an Omega, but the pseudo-alpha pheromones in the agent had a very low compatibility with his Omega genes, causing a rejection reaction. This was the real fatal reason.”

Gu Yuxi nodded and put the reports back on the desk. He looked up at Luo Panzhi. “So the problem was that the hospital didn’t conduct a thorough physical examination before the injection, not the agent, and not the Galaxy Group. The autopsy is the key.”

The moment he finished speaking, his cheek was suddenly grabbed forcefully. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Lawyer Gu, you are truly my lucky star.” Luo Panzhi was extremely excited. He bent over and cupped Gu Yuxi’s face. He didn’t care about anything else and boldly rubbed his face, his smile wide and unrestrained. “I seriously love you to death.”

The slightly hoarse, laughing voice echoed in Gu Yuxi’s ears. The force on his cheeks was a little painful, but the warmth of the fingertips was so pleasant, it felt like it was teasing his rationality. He looked into Luo Panzhi’s eyes. The faint scent of Oolong Brandy on him seemed to be pulling him in, making him want to surrender.

Normal Alphas would feel repulsion when close to one another, as their genes dictated. Even fathers and sons would experience this repulsion. But he didn’t feel it so strongly.

Especially not with Luo Panzhi. He didn’t just not feel repulsion.

He even felt a desire to get closer.

“Yuxi, since you just differentiated from an Omega into an Alpha, your pheromone concentration is still in the Omega range. To quickly bring your concentration down to a normal level, the main ingredient in this B.O. Sex Differentiation Agent is pseudo-alpha pheromones. I found a pheromone pairing in the Alpha gene bank, and I’ve found that your pheromones can integrate with Youpan’s. So, I used the scent chain from Youpan’s pheromones and injected it into you for a sensitivity test. If you are not allergic, it means that Youpan’s pheromones can alleviate the symptoms of your overly high pheromone concentration.”

“After this, if you ever experience a situation with an overly high pheromone concentration, remember to come back and get the B.O. Sex Differentiation Agent. Otherwise, you’ll have frequent estrus periods, and the high concentration will make it impossible for you to mark an Omega because the high concentration will clash with them.”

Gu Yuxi stared at Luo Panzhi, seeming to feel the rising heat from the pheromone concentration. His eyes flickered slightly.

“Lawyer Gu?” Luo Panzhi thought he had been too rough. He saw the man’s eyes were a little dazed. He let go of his face, only to find that Gu Yuxi’s cheeks were flushed. He immediately felt remorseful. He gently massaged the reddened area with his thumb. “I’m sorry. I got too excited. Did I hurt you?”

The moment he finished speaking, a rich scent of Juliet rose mixed with the sweetness of vanilla instantly filled the office, making one’s heart flutter.

It was the scent of a Vanilla Juliet Alpha’s pheromones. He was an Alpha, yet his scent was as gentle as water, so sensually soft it was unbelievable.

Luo Panzhi looked at Gu Yuxi in surprise.

Then he watched as Gu Yuxi took off his glasses. Without the cold frame to block them, his hazy light-brown eyes were like rippling spring water, completely softening his cool and reserved facial features. His eyes were now filled with a captivating look.

“Young CEO Luo, you hurt me,” Gu Yuxi said softly, looking at Luo Panzhi.

In that instant, Luo Panzhi felt a strange sensation.

He was having a physical reaction to an Alpha.
