Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 156: No Other Choice

That agonizing, inhumane scream... was that really Juan-gege?

Mu Yuze felt as if his brain had turned into a large glob of noodle paste. Ever since he watched that headline news in the police station... ever since he rushed to the Captain to ask for leave until he raced here within the shortest time possible, everything was very surreal. His steps were light and floating as if he was drifting amidst a very realistic nightmare and oh, how he wished everything was merely a nightmare...

He wished that he had just fallen asleep in the police station and when he woke up, he would find He Juan’s message in his phone, telling him that he had arrived home safely and wishing him good night.

He badly wished that everything was only a dream, but when he heard this tormented roar that sounded both familiar yet foreign at the same time, he was instantly jolted out of his trance. Icy fear started to coil around his neck and choke his breath. It was real. Everything was not a dream...

Juan-gege, he was—

Mu Yuze had not even reacted yet when Jia Molei whispered a desperate ’fuck’. Then the crimson-haired man briskly rushed down the hallway, forgetting that he had someone by his side. Mu Yuze could only follow him quietly with his fists clenched tight, his face ghastly pale.

This soul-numbing dread that chilled him down to the core was awfully familiar... so familiar that Mu Yuze felt like he was going crazy.

No... he couldn’t lose Juan-gege again. Not again...!

Jia Molei barged into the monitor room with a furious look on his face. "What the hell is going on here?!!"

"Doctor Jia...!"

There were a few people inside the room, all wearing either white coats or scrubs, but Mu Yuze could not afford to identify them one by one. All of his attention was immediately drawn to the wide computer screen in front of him.

In an instant, his whole body was petrified on the spot. The rims of his eyes turned bloody red.

He could see his Alpha there, lying on the bed inside the confinement room. He had both his hands and feet tied on the steel bed frame with leather belts, restricting his movement as he thrashed around wildly. His struggle was apparent even through the screen. The green and blue veins on his arms flared out as he tried to free himself, but it looked like the belts had been created specifically for this purpose because it firmly trapped him in place. He was akin to a fish on chopping board who could only writhe and squirm to no avail.

With his long hair in utter disarray and his clothes disheveled, he painted a completely different image from the steadfast and charming Alpha in Mu Yuze’s memory. Gone was his gentle and courteous look. Right now, he looked utterly savage as if he was out for blood.

But it was not the thing that shattered Mu Yuze’s heart into millions of pieces.

It was... the muzzle on his face. They even put a muzzle on Juan-gege’s face as if... as if he was some kind of mindless beast and not a human being!

Jia Molei took the words right out of his mouth. He could not even bother to be polite anymore. "What the fuck?! I didn’t ask you to restrain him! You... You even put a muzzle on him! Do you think he’s a fucking dog–?!" He was so angry that his chest heaved arduously, causing more blood to seep into the bandage.

Er Meilin tried to reason with him. "Doctor Jia, calm down—"

"How the fuck am I supposed to calm down?!" Jia Molei snapped at her and made her flinch in shock.

"Don’t take your anger out on them. It’s me who decided to do this."

Hearing Su Xieren’s calm yet hoarse voice from the doorway was akin to pouring gasoline on the blazing anger in Jia Molei’s heart. He swiveled around with a murderous look on his face. "Su Xieren, you fucker—"

Alas, whatever curse he was going to deliver ended up getting stuck in his throat when he saw Su Xieren’s appearance.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still looking suave with his casual shirt and effortlessly handsome look, but now... the corner of his lips was split, his right cheek was bruised and swollen and there was an obvious stretch and tear on his shirt that was not there before. But the most horrible wound was the bruising finger marks around his neck. It was terrifying to think of how much strength had been put into it. All in all, he looked like he had just braved through an earth-shattering tornado and back.

Jia Molei could not even get angry at him even if he wanted to. Shock was etched on his features. "You... How did you..."

"His condition is worse than I thought," Su Xieren said as he walked to the nearest tray, grabbed a cotton ball with tweezers and soaked it in alcohol before dabbing it on the corner of his lips. He grimaced softly and rejected the nurse who rushed forward to help him. "He almost killed me when I stabbed him with the IV needle. He even started to bite and scratch himself. That’s why I have no other choice but to place a muzzle on him. We have to think of another method quickly. What are you planning?"

Doctor Tang, who had witnessed the brutal and violent fight between Su Xieren and He Juan in its entirety, still had a lingering fear on his chest. With a pale face, he demanded, "We have to knock him out first! He is too dangerous like this!"

Another doctor relayed his thoughts anxiously. "In my opinion, mild tranquilizer is no use. He is too vigilant right now. There is no way he will let himself be knocked out! Doctor Jia also doesn’t allow us to use stronger tranquilizer for fear that it will clash with his daily medicine and the AX–03 in his system so why don’t we—"

"What...?" The man, whose existence was overlooked by everyone because he had not spoken from the start, suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was not loud. It could even be considered a whisper, yet for some reason everyone’s gaze immediately snapped to him.

Even Su Xieren was startled. He had failed to notice Mu Yuze’s presence before.

The omega’s complexion was terribly pale and his red-rimmed eyes swept over everyone before landing on the doctor who had last spoken. He was clearly standing ramrod straight, yet somehow he gave off the impression as if he was going to collapse in the next second. "What... did you say is in his system? AX–03?"

In the corner, Jia Molei let out a silent ’fuck’ as he palmed his forehead. He had not expected that the cat would be out of the bag like this.

Seriously, could the situation get any worse?!
