Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 539: Are You Insane?!
When he came to again, Luo Xuan found himself grappling with a throbbing pain at the back of his head. A foreign sluggishness weighed down on his limbs, rendering even breathing an arduous task. The pervasive scent of familiar pheromones dominated his senses, and in the next moment, the memories before he lost consciousness floated to the forefront of his mind. He instantly recognized who was with him now.
Sure enough, He Juan’s voice sounded beside him, having detected the shift of his breathing. "Awake?"
Luo Xuan struggled to peel open his heavy eyelids, muttering a curse under his breath. "Bastard..." he gritted his teeth. "Do you realize what you have done?!"
The harsh screech of tires against asphalt reverberated inside the car as He Juan abruptly slammed his wheel to the side to avoid their pursuers, causing Luo Xuan’s head to collide painfully against the window. With a groan, he squeezed his eyes shut before opening them again, finding that they were now speeding along a quite familiar road which was leading to the highway.
The city had plunged into the depths of night, and the towering skyscrapers were ablaze with light. Alas, the scenery passed in a blur because of He Juan’s reckless driving as he weaved in and out of traffic, eliciting furious honks and enraged shouts from the other drivers.
"Where are you taking me?" Luo Xuan bristled in anger as he painstakingly turned his head to fix a glare at the person sitting behind the wheel.
He noted that He Juan’s entire body was splattered with blood here and there, even his knuckles were bruised and bloodied. God knew how many people he had pummeled to escape from the siege of guards that tightly surrounded the villa.
He Juan let out a humorless laugh as he floored the accelerator harder. It was the sort of laugh Luo Xuan had never heard from him before, cold and slightly crazed on the edge. He looked as if he had truly lost his mind.
"Why don’t you take a guess?" His tone couldn’t be more casual, as if they were not running through every red light they could find with a dozen cars hot on their trails. "Actually, I don’t know either, Boss. All I know is that I have to stop you. I have to stop the progress of X serum before it succeeds. I tried to hand you over to Interpol, but I figured you’d find your way out sooner or later, so..."
Luo Xuan’s expression sank as he caught the implication behind the Alpha’s sentence. "You’re planning to kill me?" He seethed. "Do you think my men will let you get away with this? Do you think..." His peripheral vision caught sight of a black motorcycle heading straight toward them, the rider clad in black leather jacket and black helmet. Even then, Luo Xuan recognized who it was in a heartbeat and relief trickled into his heart, allowing him to regain his composure. "Do you think Ku Jin will let you off easily?!"
Luo Xuan was well aware of the animosity between them. Both could be said to be equally matched in terms of fighting prowess. The only difference was He Juan tended to let his emotions rule over him, while Ku Jin did not hesitate to resort to the dirtiest trick to achieve his goal. If any harm were to befall Luo Xuan, Ku Jin would make He Juan’s life a living hell.
He had expected He Juan to hesitate in light of the threat, and he would take the opportunity to seize control of the car, yet as it turned out, the Alpha was not even ruffled by the slightest.
"Didn’t you say that I’d become more powerful than Ku Jin once I rid myself of my liability?" The mockery and sarcasm in his tone was as clear as daylight. "So what do I have to be afraid of? Besides, who said that I’m leaving a way out for myself?"
"You—!" Luo Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief as he realized what He Juan was planning to do. "Are you insane?!"
With an explosive burst of power, he managed to lunge forward and grab hold of the wheel, attempting to wrest control of the car. But everything went down the drain when He Juan spoke, "Stop. Did I tell you to move?"
In an instant, Luo Xuan’s body was immobilized and he let out a furious roar, murderous intent radiating through his poppy scented pheromones. However, he was not the Boss of Xuanlong for nothing. He was simply caught off guard the first time He Juan did it, giving the man a chance to succeed. And now for the second time, his body had become acclimated and knew how to counter the command with his own pheromones, which did not lose out to even those of superior Alphas. "How dare you—!"
On the other hand, even though He Juan swiftly seized back the control of the wheel, the minute swerve of the car granted a chance for the rider behind to catch up.
As the engine roared akin to an awakened beast, the huge motorcycle overtook the car at breakneck speed and veered sharply to block the road ahead. Only Ku Jin, this madman who liked to dance on the blade of death, dared to attempt such an insane maneuver.
However, instead of slowing down, He Juan stepped harder on the accelerator. His knuckles tightened around the wheels, eyes glimmering with killing intent. It was this person who had fired the shot that killed He Xie that fateful night, He Juan was certain of it!
Terrified screams pierced through the air as the passersby witnessed the car hurtling straight toward the motorcycle, seemingly intent on reducing it to mere wreckage, rider and all. But in that heart-pounding instant before the impending collision, Ku Jin leaped out of the way and rolled onto the asphalts to safety, resulting in the car colliding into the motorcycle and sending it tumbling several meters away. Even then, the car did not show any signs of stopping, barreling ahead on its relentless path.
Enraged, Ku Jin flipped open his helmet and raised his middle finger, cursing, "XIU, you fucking madman! That’s my favorite!!!"
