A Fatal Attraction from Lawyer A - Chapter 58

In the waiting lounge, Luo Panzhi was scrolling through his chat history with Gu Yuxi, waiting for his reply. However, ten minutes passed without a message from Gu Yuxi, and his mood became slightly irritable.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly had a rather uncomfortable feeling.

“Xu Wen, have you ever been in a relationship?”

Xu Wen, the single assistant, was suddenly cued by his boss. He nodded silently: “I was, during university.”

“Why did you break up later?” Little President Luo, a “mother-to-be-solo” who almost flash-married after finally getting a relationship, was curious: “Was it because the relationship was poor, or conflicting values, or was it your fault?”

Xu Wen: “…” If this weren’t his superior, he really wouldn’t want to answer. Why such a direct, hurtful question? “It was my fault.”

“Why?”

“At that time, studying while holding a part-time job was quite exhausting for me; I was barely managing my own affairs. My ex-girlfriend was my schoolmate. Her family was quite well-off, so she didn’t have any financial pressure and was quite clingy. Sometimes, when I was busy, I wouldn’t reply to her messages, but I knew I was choosing not to reply, not that I didn’t have the time. I didn’t dare think of a future with her, so we broke up.”

Luo Panzhi gave his assistant a look of subtle condemnation: “Scumbag, how can you not reply to your girlfriend’s messages?”

So why hasn’t Gu Yuxi replied to his message? It’s been ten minutes.

“I was young and didn’t know how to cherish what I had. Where can I find a girlfriend who knows how to be spoiled now?” Xu Wen sighed.

Luo Panzhi agreed. He knew how to be spoiled, so Gu Yuxi would definitely cherish him!

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Luo Panzhi’s eyes immediately lit up—it must be his wife calling! He looked down and saw the incoming call was from Jian Wenxing. For some unknown reason, his heart skipped a beat.

He answered the call and placed the phone to his ear: “What’s wrong?”

Jian Wenxing’s trembling voice came from the other end of the line: “You Pan, my car was just hit.”

Luo Panzhi’s mind went ‘buzz’. His expression instantly froze, and the chill that surged up from his feet made his rationale numb: “… Where is Yuxi?”

“A minivan crashed into the front of my car. The impact forced the front of the car into the green belt on the side where Lawyer Gu was sitting. He said his stomach hurt… I asked him if he was okay, but he fainted as soon as he got out of the car. I’ve already called an ambulance—”

“Jian Wenxing!!!”

The shout of reproof abruptly rang out in the VIP waiting lounge. Luo Panzhi stood up, his face instantly turning dark and gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of haze. His eyes were filled with coldness. His hand, holding the phone, was trembling, and his eyes instantly reddened:

“He is pregnant… He just had a shot of anti-miscarriage medication and six estrogen injections this morning! Didn’t I tell you to watch over him for me? How long have I only been gone!!”

His hysteric, near-silent scream, and the powerful, menacing Alpha aura permeated the VIP waiting lounge. The people nearby felt an immense pressure and shivered.

Jian Wenxing on the other end of the phone was stunned: “Wh-what?”

“Where are you? I’m coming now.” Luo Panzhi’s expression was grim. He looked at Xu Wen: “You will be fully responsible for the inspection in Country F. I’m not going. Give me the car keys.”

Xu Wen quickly handed the car keys to Luo Panzhi, then watched his Little President Luo rush out of the waiting lounge.

That retreating figure looked extremely anxious and frantic.

Pregnant?

… Is Lawyer Gu pregnant?!

So, this morning at the obstetrics and gynecology department, he wasn’t there to see Young Master Chu, but Lawyer Gu himself?! Can an Alpha get pregnant????

At this moment, the intersection where the accident occurred was already experiencing traffic congestion.

By the side of the road, Jian Wenxing was hugging the unconscious Gu Yuxi, worried sick. He had just been yelled at by Luo Panzhi and only then learned that Gu Yuxi was pregnant, leaving him no time to even consider if an Alpha could get pregnant.

He was waiting for the ambulance, but it hadn’t arrived, making him even more panicked.

“Sir, could you please drive for me?” In his distress, Jian Wenxing shouted at the driver at fault: “I don’t care why you hit my car right now. Human life is more important. Let’s take us to Galaxy Hospital first.”

The driver was silent for a moment. He stared at the person in Jian Wenxing’s arms: “…I—”

Before he could answer, traffic police on motorcycles came into view. Seeing the police arrive before the ambulance, Jian Wenxing no longer bothered asking the driver for help and quickly waved: “Officer! Could you please help me? My family member has fainted. He is a pregnant man, and the situation is very urgent!”

The traffic police immediately nodded upon hearing the situation. They turned on the siren, raised their white-gloved hands, and signaled for the vehicles at the intersection to make an emergency avoidance.

Jian Wenxing was a sports student, nearly two meters tall, so picking up Gu Yuxi required no effort. He placed Gu Yuxi in the back seat of the sports car, quickly closed the door, and before getting into the driver’s seat, he turned back to look at the driver at fault, who was being detained by another police officer.

His eyes were fierce. He drew his thumb across his neck and said in a deep voice: “If anything happens to my family member, you better wait for me.”

After giving his warning, he immediately got into the driver’s seat and followed the police escort back to Galaxy Hospital.

The driver at fault stared at the direction where the sports car drove away, his eyes devoid of any emotion. Under his mask, the position of his lips twitched slightly.

“What is your name?” the police officer asked, noting down the information in a small notebook.

“He Xi.”

The police officer looked up at the man in front of him: “Which ‘Xi’? Take out your ID card, and remove your mask and hat.”

He Xi took off his hat and mask and handed his ID card to the police officer: “The ‘Xi’ from ‘yesteryear’ (xiri).”

The police officer looked at the man in front of him. The contours of his facial features, and even his neck, were almost indistinguishable—it was obvious his skin had been extensively repaired after being severely burned. The officer took the ID card. The photo on the ID card was of a man with heroic features, clearly not the same person as this ‘He Xi’.

“This is my ID photo before the disfigurement. I didn’t go to renew it because it hasn’t expired yet. I have the certificate.” He Xi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to the police officer.

The police officer accepted the public security certificate. It contained the photo on He Xi’s ID card and a photo after the disfigurement. The ID card was verified as authentic, and the official seal was verified as authentic. He hummed: “The injured person has been taken to the hospital. Please wait for further processing.”

“Understood, Officer. This was my mistake, and I will definitely take responsibility for anything that happens.” He Xi said this and put his mask and hat back on.

“Good, having a proper attitude is commendable. Now, come with me to the police station.”

As the police officer turned around, he failed to see the subtle arc of the lips imprinted on He Xi’s mask. The hand with a serpentine scar on its back pulled the brim of the hat down, concealing his triumphant eyes. Only a soft chuckle was heard:

“He Xi, the ‘Xi’ from Gu Yuxi.”

Galaxy Hospital—

Jian Wenxing carefully carried Gu Yuxi out of the car. He happened to see the old acquaintance, Dr. Su, passing by the hospital entrance and immediately yelled: “Dr. Su, help!! Quickly!!”

Dr. Su was startled by the roar. He turned his head and saw Little President Luo’s wild nephew holding a man. His face suddenly sank when he clearly saw the man in his arms. He quickly waved for a nurse to bring a cart: “You, stand still. Hurry, hurry!!”

Then, he and the nurse pushed a cart and ran to Jian Wenxing’s side: “What happened!”

“I was driving Lawyer Gu, and the car was hit. Lawyer Gu first said he had a bit of a stomach ache, but then he fainted as soon as he got out of the car.” Jian Wenxing gently placed the pale-faced Gu Yuxi onto the cart. Seeing the cut on his forehead where he had hit the ground, with blood flowing, made him terribly nervous: “Dr. Su, please examine him quickly.”

Dr. Su pushed the cart while checking Gu Yuxi’s pupils: “Did he hit his stomach?”

Jian Wenxing couldn’t recall exactly how he might have hit his stomach. He was gripping the rail of the cart when he saw bloodstains on his fingers. His mind immediately went blank, and his voice trembled: “… Dr. Su, is Lawyer Gu bleeding?”

Dr. Su’s expression suddenly changed: “Quick! Call Dr. Zhang from the obstetrics department! Prepare Operating Room No. 1!”

In the corridor, Jian Wenxing sat on a chair. He looked down at the blood on his hands, his eyes flickering. His hands kept shaking, and he was extremely anxious.

“Jian. Wen. Xing.”

A steady, cold set of footsteps approached, echoing in the brightly lit corridor, like the sound of a soul reaper. Jian Wenxing suddenly looked up and saw Luo Panzhi walking toward him.

Dressed in a silver-gray suit, with a terrifyingly grim expression, Luo Panzhi coldly stared at him, causing Jian Wenxing to involuntarily shudder.

It’s over, over, over, over.

Luo Panzhi quickly walked up to Jian Wenxing and, with a livid face, grabbed the young man’s collar: “What did I tell you before I left? How long have I been gone!!”

Jian Wenxing met Luo Panzhi’s furious gaze and knew that any explanation now would not be heard. He allowed himself to be grabbed, lowered his eyes, and said with guilt: “… Second Brother, I’m sorry.”

Luo Panzhi took a deep breath and threw the man back onto the chair. He stood with one hand on his hip, annoyedly running his hand through his hair, looking at the red light above the operating room. A painful lump was caught in his throat, making it difficult to breathe, and endless regret spread throughout his heart.

How many times has this happened?

“He only had a shot of anti-miscarriage medication this morning, along with six estrogen injections. Do you know how much pain he endured just to keep this child?” Luo Panzhi’s eyes were red as he forcefully suppressed the remorse in his heart: “… He is an Alpha. Pregnancy almost shattered his self-respect, yet I keep letting him get into trouble again and again.”

Jian Wenxing had never seen Luo Panzhi like this. It was as if, in that instant, he suddenly felt that Luo Panzhi had truly become an adult, different from himself. He lowered his head and walked up to Luo Panzhi’s side: “Second Brother, I’m sorry.”

“What exactly happened?” Luo Panzhi asked in a deep voice: “When did you start driving so recklessly?”

Jian Wenxing finally dared to explain: “Second Brother, it really wasn’t my fault. That driver ran a red light. I hadn’t even driven far past the yellow line when he rushed forward.”

Luo Panzhi frowned: “What about the driver at fault? Was he caught?”

“Yes, he was caught. He had a pretty good attitude.”

“Do I need you to explain that he had a good attitude!!”

Jian Wenxing was yelled at by Luo Panzhi and quietly lowered his head: “… I was wrong.”

Luo Panzhi took another deep breath to calm himself down. Then, he saw the operating room door open, and out came Dr. Su and Dr. Zhang, the obstetrician in charge of Gu Yuxi. He quickly walked over: “How is my husband?”

Dr. Zhang sighed: “Little President Luo, you know that your husband has a very special physique. I just finished giving him the increased dose of hormone injections this morning. He was still adapting to the medicine, and symptoms like dizziness and fever were expected. He should have been carefully looked after. As a result, this impact from the car caused bleeding, and he was bound to faint. If he hadn’t received the anti-miscarriage injection first, the baby would definitely have been lost.”

The word ‘miscarriage’ struck Luo Panzhi’s head like a massive stone, leaving him dizzy: “… How is he now?”

“He needs to be well-rested and protected, absolutely well-rested and protected,” Dr. Zhang said with a solemn expression: “Even though he is an Alpha right now, his physical condition will definitely change once his hormone levels rise. If his physical foundation is not well maintained, pregnancy will become a life-threatening matter.”

After Dr. Zhang finished speaking, the cart was pushed out of the operating room.

Luo Panzhi immediately walked over. He saw Gu Yuxi lying on the cart with his eyes open. His forehead must have been injured when he fainted, as there was a piece of gauze on it. Luo Panzhi was instantly overwhelmed with heartache and guilt: “Baby, are you still uncomfortable anywhere?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, his hand was tightly gripped by Gu Yuxi. The hand holding his was incredibly forceful. He thought Gu Yuxi was in pain, but then he saw Gu Yuxi’s eyes, red and filled with hatred.

“Ebony Gentian pheromone…”

Luo Panzhi frowned: “What?”

Gu Yuxi still felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. He gripped Luo Panzhi’s hand tightly, as if borrowing strength to ease the discomfort, and then looked at Jian Wenxing at the foot of the bed: “You saw that driver, right?”

Jian Wenxing was stunned, thinking Gu Yuxi was asking if the driver at fault had been caught: “I saw him.”

“He has a serpentine scar on the back of his hand. Did you see it?” Gu Yuxi asked nervously. He was certain he wouldn’t be mistaken. He smelled that scent on himself as soon as he woke up.

Jian Wenxing pondered for a moment, then nodded, looking at Gu Yuxi with wide eyes: “I saw it! You weren’t even close to him, and you could see that scar on his hand?!”

“Mo Wenbin!” Gu Yuxi tugged on Luo Panzhi’s hand, his expression anxious: “It’s Mo Wenbin. I would never mistake his pheromone—it’s Ebony Gentian, and he has a serpentine scar on the back of his hand. He has appeared.”

Hearing this, Luo Panzhi’s face became even gloomier. So, this was not a simple accident.

It was a premeditated accident.

Luo Panzhi gripped Gu Yuxi’s cold hand, bent down, and cupped his face, looking at him with gentle eyes: “I will handle it. Leave it to me. All you need to do now is get good rest.”

Gu Yuxi suddenly remembered that Luo Panzhi had been preparing to go abroad. Why was he back? “But aren’t you going to—”

“Nothing is more important than you right now. I won’t leave your side until you safely give birth to this child,” Luo Panzhi said: “I’ll take you back to the ward first.”

Gu Yuxi’s gaze fell upon Luo Panzhi’s tense jawline and felt the hand gripping his was a little sweaty and trembling. He figured he must have scared him, and he himself was also scared.

He still felt a faint discomfort in his stomach and slowly closed his eyes.

Baby, be strong. Your Daddies are very much looking forward to your arrival.

Jian Wenxing silently followed behind. He looked down at his hands, which were now washed clean, but the fear in his heart was still difficult to suppress, and his fingertips were trembling.

Lawyer Gu was able to get pregnant because of his special physique. Alphas normally would never be able to get pregnant.

From now on, he won’t chase Omegas. Having children is too terrifying.

In the ward, Luo Panzhi was accompanying Gu Yuxi by the bedside. Perhaps the medicine was taking effect, as the man quickly fell asleep. Just then, he saw his younger sister, Luo Yuchu, push the door open and walk in.

“Second Brother, how is he?”

“He’s asleep.” Luo Panzhi looked at Luo Yuchu: “Watch him for me for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

Luo Yuchu didn’t fully understand what was going on. She pointed to the doorway: “So, what’s wrong with that guy? He looks like a stray dog.”

Luo Panzhi stood up with a dark expression: “I’m going to handle this now. If Yuxi wakes up, tell me, and tell him I’ll be back soon.”

He finished speaking and left the ward, gently closing the door.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Jian Wenxing, a big, tall man, not even daring to sit down, directly squatting by the doorway. Luo Panzhi expressionlessly kicked the side of his shoe with his leather shoe.

Jian Wenxing snapped his head up. Seeing Luo Panzhi emerge, his expression immediately sagged. He directly hugged his big brother’s leg, almost crying: “Second Brother! All the faults, a thousand faults, are mine! Just stop my cards and confiscate my sports car and yacht, and I won’t say a word! Wuwuwu, please, absolutely don’t tell Elder Uncle and my Big Dad. They’ll beat me to death if they find out.”

“Let go.”

Jian Wenxing held on tightly to Luo Panzhi’s leg: “… I’m scared.”

“I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you succeed, I’ll reward you with a new sports car.”

Jian Wenxing immediately stood up straight, his expression serious as he looked at Luo Panzhi: “Boss, what are your orders? I will not hesitate to climb a mountain of knives or descend into a sea of fire!”

“Identify the driver at fault. State how serious the incident was, and make sure he takes full responsibility for this matter. How badly was your car hit?” Luo Panzhi asked.

Jian Wenxing thought of his precious sports car, the front end of which was crushed: “The front end was caved in significantly.”

“Mm, then he’ll have to compensate for at least five million,” Luo Panzhi said nonchalantly. He glanced at Jian Wenxing: “And he also injured your brother-in-law. This is not something that can be resolved with just five million. Do you think this can be settled privately?”

Jian Wenxing instantly replied: “Of course not!”

Luo Panzhi’s eyes grew colder, and his lips slightly curved into a downward arc: “Then let’s go. Let’s go see this beast.”

Legal matters are settled with words in the courtroom. When it comes to his hands, it won’t be settled with just words.

Mo Wenbin, try to escape again now that you are under his nose.
