Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 154: Help Is On The Way
Yuyang Hospital Center.
The monitor room in the special ward for Alphas was crowded with a handful of nurses and specialists from the Pheromones Department and Radiology Department with Jia Molei, the chief surgeon of the Neurological Department, as the leading doctor.
The wounds on his body had not even been taken care of yet, and the bleeding slash on his chest had only been wrapped haphazardly with bandage. In order to prevent the clothes from restricting his movement, he even went bare-chested and only draped his white coat over his shoulders.
Droplets of crimson blood could be seen oozing out through the bandage as he stood in front of the computer screen with an ugly look on his face.
"Doctor Jia, the patient is not cooperating! We can’t connect him to the IV drips!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Doctor Jia, the patient’s pheromones have gotten out of control! If this goes on any longer, I fear that his gland will be damaged!"
"Doctor Jia, your wounds—"
"Shut up!" He abruptly snapped only to realize that the one who issued that sentence was none other than his secretary, Er Meilin. For a split second, his expression froze before he returned his gaze to the screen, grumbling, "These are all skin wounds, okay? We should check He Juan’s vitals first. He has been drugged!"
Everyone’s expression turned heavy. They had more or less heard about AX-03. That year when the fatal side effects of this drug were finally showing for the first time, the hospitals all over the country were swarmed with rampaging Alphas with damaged glands. They were all either ordinary or weak Alphas, and the scene was already so chaotic that the police had to lend a hand to maintain order.
As for the one inside the confinement room right now... it was a superior Alpha! The cream of the crop! The one who stood at the very top of the food chain!
Even though the confinement room had been built in a special way to prevent the pheromones from leaking out, they could still feel the low pressure in the air. It was so heavy that they felt as if their bones had been stuffed with lead, making each movement feel increasingly cumbersome and exhausting.
"About this..." Doctor Tang from the Pheromones Department could not help but suggest, "If he has been drugged, then isn’t it better for us to call the police? Listen to me, Doctor Jia. A rampaging superior Alpha is not something we can handle!"
"No," Jia Molei answered gravely without hesitation. "No police. We will take care of him ourselves."
Everyone exchanged a helpless look. They knew about Doctor Jia and the patient’s good relationship and understood how he was unwilling to let his friend be entangled with the police due to an unforeseeable accident, but they were really telling the truth when they said that they could not handle this patient!
"Don’t worry," Jia Molei added as if knowing their concerns. "Help is on the way."
"What do you—"
Before anyone could ask what he meant by that, there was a firm knock on the door and a familiar figure entered.
They were startled. "Doctor Su? What are you doing here?"
That person was none other than Su Xieren. Today, he did not have a night shift and he had only come here in a hurry upon receiving Jia Molei’s call. He wore a casual shirt and black slacks, and his slightly messy hair made him look younger than usual. Su Xieren nodded in acknowledgement toward everyone’s present and made a beeline to Jia Molei, frowning, "How is he?"
"This is the help I am talking about," Jia Molei explained to the confused crowd as he patted Su Xieren’s shoulder. "Don’t worry. Doctor Su has very rich experience in dealing with this patient, right?"
"Oh, so it’s like that...!" They breathed a sigh of relief. "Then we have to rely on you, Doctor Su!"
Su Xieren’s lips twitched. Having rich experience did not mean that he wanted to relive it for the second time. He really had had enough dealing with the out-of-control He Juan!
Alas, it’s not like he had a choice, didn’t he?
He took a look at the data measurement and sucked in cold air at the pheromones level in the air that had long broken through the highest threshold of the red level warning set by the hospital. This was way worse than when He Juan woke up from his coma for the first time!
Su Xieren knew very well how formidable He Juan’s self-control was. To think that he would let his pheromones invade the air so domineeringly like this indicated that he was feeling very, very unwell right now.
Su Xieren took a deep breath and asked, "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
Jia Molei’s tense expression relaxed at his cooperative attitude. He gestured at the monitor that was connected with the surveillance in the confinement room. The footage showed that He Juan was currently lying on the sterile bed. He looked like he was sleeping peacefully.
"Don’t judge by how calm he looks right now. In fact, he is in a high alert and agitated state. Watch this," Jia Molei said, then he pulled up the footage of the past half an hour and played it at twice the speed.
Su Xieren numbly watched as people fell on their knees one after another on the doorway due to the heavy and oppressive pheromones He Juan exuded. It was no use even if they were wearing a gas mask. The pheromones were so thick it was almost tangible, stabbing into their skin like thousands of sharp knives grinding against flesh. It was so excruciating that most of the people fainted straight away.
The stronger ones managed to make it to He Juan’s bedside. However, before they could even prepare the IV drips, they were all frightened by He Juan who suddenly opened his eyes and stared at them quietly and ended up scrambling away like flies...
What kind of sickening situation was this?
One of the nurses who ran away like his butt was set on fire, could not help but break out in cold sweat when he saw this footage. He patted his chest in trepidation. "The pressure is no joke. I really felt as if he was going to tear me apart if I dared to come one step closer! I am not brave enough to risk my life for this!"
Su Xieren’s scalp became numb. "Then what you need me to do is—"
"Simple." Jia Molei finished the sentence for him. "You only need to go inside and put him on IV drip. We have already injected mild tranquilizer into the solution bag, so he should be able to calm down in fifteen minutes. If it fails, then we can only release soothing synthetic pheromones through the ventilator and pray that he won’t go into berserk mode. We need to do an MRI scan on his brain as soon as possible."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Xieren’s shoulders tightly and stared at him with a solemn look. "In the whole hospital, you’re the only person who can contend against his strength. He doesn’t recognize friend or foe anymore so I can only rely on you. Su Xieren, do me this one favor."
Su Xieren was stunned by the gravity in Jia Molei’s eyes. Both of them had always behaved like cat and dog every time they met and they would often argue over the simplest matter. Seeing Jia Molei so sincere like this, he really could not get used to it. However, this proved that Jia Molei was really concerned about He Juan’s condition right now.
Su Xieren let out a helpless sigh. "Alright..." First, he swatted Jia Molei’s hands away, rolled his neck and cracked his knuckles. "Alright, let me try."
Either way, he had already dealt with this person once, so he should be able to do it again, right?
"Thank you," Jia Molei said with all sincerity.
Goosebumps erupted along Su Xieren’s arms. He merely cast Jia Molei a complicated look before hurrying out of the door, fearing that Jia Molei would say more honest words that would cause his teeth to fall out.
Jia Molei stood in front of the monitor and stared at He Juan’s resting posture, his lips pursed tight.
If he could go inside by himself, did he need another person’s help? If it was the usual him, he would not be rest assured to hand He Juan to other people. Alas, the smell of blood on his body was too strong and he was afraid that He Juan would take it as a provocation to fight. He was not kidding when he said that He Juan was unable to recognize anyone. In such a condition, he was akin to a wild beast who acted entirely based on instinct. And the only way to suppress him was through brute strength.
Su Xieren, this time I am really relying on you...
Alas, before Su Xieren could even appear on the CCTV outside the confinement room, Er Meilin exclaimed from the side, "Doctor Jia, your phone is ringing!"
Jia Molei did not even turn his head as he answered impatiently, "Just say that I’m busy right now and—"
"The contact name is ’Old Juan’s omega’!"
Jia Molei froze mid-sentence. Old Juan’s omega? Mu Yuze?
