Chapter 81
“Sir, Sir…”
Lu Heng, covered in blood, suddenly fainted, and An Le was terrified. But because they were at Gu’s house, there was no one passing by who could help.
The only person who could help them was the reporter who was currently upstairs, risking his life to take pictures of Gu Chen to get the news.
Ignoring the dress that Gu Chen had torn, An Le threw away Lu Heng’s coat and went to find Lu Heng’s phone to call for help.
But just as he found Lu Heng’s phone, he saw someone open the car door, carry Lu Heng from the driver’s seat to the back, and say to An Le, who was still clinging to Lu Heng, “Madam, don’t be afraid. I’m the boss’s new bodyguard. I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
“To the hospital…”
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lu Heng’s condition was not optimistic. The most important thing was to leave immediately.
Otherwise, once the reporters were driven away, and Gu Chen came down to retaliate, they would have no way to escape.
An Le, holding up his long skirt, ran to the back seat, hugged Lu Heng tightly, and then used Lu Heng’s phone to call Li Jie.
Li Jie answered quickly. After An Le explained the situation, Li Jie told him that the person driving the car was indeed someone he had arranged. And that man had indeed taken them to the hospital, only then did An Le feel relieved.
Lu Heng’s injuries were serious, but apart from the head injury, the others weren’t fatal. He had just fainted from excessive blood loss. Now he just needed a blood transfusion and wound treatment.
Lu Heng’s arm had a large gash from the broken glass, his leg was injured by the deformed car, and his back was scratched when he struggled to climb out of the car.
An Le sat in front of the hospital bed, tightly grasping Lu Heng’s hand. He knew that Lu Heng, despite his serious injuries, had rushed over to find him to save him.
He couldn’t imagine the pain Lu Heng had endured after the car accident, climbing out of the deformed car, and then coming to find him.
An Le’s tears fell drop by drop onto their hands, silently weeping, even afraid to cry too loudly for fear of disturbing Lu Heng’s rest.
The bodyguard who had taken them to the hospital, seeing An Le’s semi-hanging skirt, called someone to buy a normal outfit.
Standing next to An Le, he whispered, “Madam, would you like to change your clothes?”
An Le looked at Lu Heng, who had been given clean clothes by the doctors and nurses, then looked down at his own dirty and torn dress—a dress that wouldn’t be seen on a man—and nodded slightly, whispering, “Thank you.”
Then, taking the clothes, he went to the bathroom. He took off the dress and threw it on the floor, washed his hands and face, washing away all the things that didn’t belong to him, before putting on the new clothes and coming out.
The bodyguard was still standing there, and only after An Le came out did he leave the ward and stand guard outside.
An Le continued to sit by the hospital bed. After an unknown amount of time, An Le was drowsy when he felt a hand touch his head.
He quickly looked up and saw Lu Heng’s doting eyes.
“Sir.”
An Le immediately burst into tears, grabbing Lu Heng’s hand, and choking, “You, you scared me to death.”
He bled so much and even fainted.
In An Le’s eyes, Lu Heng had never been so vulnerable, and he was truly terrified.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s alright.”
Lu Heng whispered, “It’s just a little blood. It’s nothing for an alpha. It’s just that it scared you.”
He had never expected Gu Chen to attack him directly, and so quickly.
He hadn’t expected Gu Chen to dress An Le up like that either.
An Le must have been terrified.
Lu Heng patted the other side of the bed, whispering, “Come up, let me hug you.”
An Le was worried about Lu Heng’s injuries and hesitated a little.
But Lu Heng said again, “Quickly, my wounds hurt a little. Come up and hug me, give me some pheromones, okay?”
An Le subconsciously nodded in agreement, but when the words reached his lips, he realized something was wrong and whispered, “But Sir, I can release pheromones while sitting here, and your injuries…”
While speaking, An Le released pheromones to comfort Lu Heng. Lu Heng closed his eyes contentedly, opened them after a few seconds and smiled, “Alphas are very strong, this little injury really doesn’t count for anything. Le Le, be good, come up.”
“Then, then okay.”
After saying that, An Le took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and carefully lay in Lu Heng’s arms.
Lu Heng hugged An Le, turned his head and kissed the top of An Le’s head, whispering, “I’m sorry. I promised to protect you, and Sir broke his promise.”
“No.”
An Le gently shook his head, “It’s not Sir’s fault, it’s not.”
Lu Heng hadn’t done anything wrong. Why should he apologize?
It should be Gu Chen who should apologize.
But after tonight, who knows what the outcome will be? Gu Chen…
Thinking of Gu Chen, Lu Heng suddenly asked, “Le Le, where’s my phone?”
An Le quickly got up and gave Lu Heng the phone on the bedside table.
Lu Heng took the phone, opened his messages, and checked tonight’s news feed with An Le.
It was already past two o’clock in the morning.
After An Le was taken home by Gu Chen, he and the reporter arrived around twelve o’clock.
So the news feeds around 11:40 were all about Gu Chen:
《High-Ranking Gu Official Uses Power to Suppress, Forcibly Assaulting Innocent Omega…》
《High-Ranking Official Buys Meat Late at Night…》
《Gu Chen Buys Meat Late at Night, Becomes Furious After Being Discovered, Smashes Reporter’s Camera, Injures Three Reporters…》
These topics were very popular, with several articles posted in less than half an hour. But when Lu Heng clicked on them, he saw nothing.
Gu Chen’s people acted quickly. The news was removed shortly after it was posted.
After that, all news about Gu Chen could not be searched, and there were no more topics about anyone surnamed Gu.
Seeing this, An Le was a little disappointed and whispered, “It’s all gone.”
“Yes, he’s very quick.”
Lu Heng frowned, “But don’t worry, this matter won’t be so easily settled.”
Gu Chen had people working for him, but did he not?
It was 2:10 now.
In fifty minutes, by then, Gu Chen would probably relax, thinking that tonight’s incident was over.
He would release the news when everyone was off guard.
There are many night owls in this world, almost never sleeping and surfing the internet all night.
Especially on a night like tonight with shocking news, they would spend the whole night chatting about it with their friends.
And they would try their best to spread it.
Once this was spread, whether Gu Chen fell today or not, his purpose would be achieved.
“Mm.”
An Le nodded, saying with heartache, “I, I’m not worried.”
The moment he saw Lu Heng covered in blood, he had no worries. His only worry was Lu Heng’s injuries.
Thankfully, Lu Heng was fine. Otherwise, he wouldn’t want to live.
In An Le’s heart, Lu Heng was already more important than his own life.
If Lu Heng wasn’t in this world, what meaning would his life have?
“Good boy.”
Lu Heng told An Le the plan. An Le nodded, not even feeling sleepy anymore. He stayed up with Lu Heng and waited.
As soon as three o’clock arrived, netizens who were already trying to find gossip online saw even more explosive news.
Gu Chen’s late-night purchase of meat was confirmed, with photos as evidence. The photos they posted were of An Le in a dress and makeup.
Although An Le’s face was blurred, his resistance to Gu Chen could still be seen.
Not only that, Lu Heng also had people expose other information, evidence that Gu Chen had asked the Omega Protection Association to keep an eye out for handsome, beautiful, and young Omegas.
This wasn’t true; it was fabricated.
But this was enough to stir up a storm online. Gu Chen, just about to rest, saw this again, and was so angry that he overturned the table and continued to deal with it.
Gu Chen deleted, Lu Heng reposted.
The two of them seemed to be addicted, going back and forth until the platform crashed before they stopped.
“It’s over.”
Lu Heng hugged An Le. An Le was already drowsy, lying in Lu Heng’s arms, not daring to move, afraid of touching Lu Heng’s wounds. Hearing Lu Heng speak, he subconsciously nodded and whispered, “Mm.”
Seeing that An Le was about to fall asleep, Lu Heng didn’t call him anymore, but silently let him sleep.
It wasn’t until An Le woke up that he realized something was wrong. He hadn’t been waiting for the news with Lu Heng last night, why did he suddenly fall asleep? When did he fall asleep?
An Le subconsciously looked at Lu Heng, who was still asleep.
He wanted to go to the toilet, but Lu Heng was injured, and seriously injured. Rest was crucial, and if he got up to go to the toilet now, he would definitely wake Lu Heng up.
So, in order to let Lu Heng rest well, he endured the urge to urinate.
It wasn’t until Lu Heng’s phone rang, and Lu Heng opened his eyes to answer it, that An Le took the opportunity to get out of bed and run into the bathroom.
When he came out, there was another person in the room.
An Omega woman.
An Le froze at the door. The woman and Lu Heng both looked at him.
Lu Heng whispered, “Le Le, come here. This is your Aunt Tang.”
Tang Yan’s face was weathered. An Le felt a sense of familiarity yet didn’t recognize her, but the moment he came out, he guessed that this woman was probably his mother’s assistant.
Lu Heng’s words confirmed his thoughts. Although he wasn’t very familiar with her, for his mother’s sake, he walked over and whispered, “Aunt Tang.”
The moment Tang Yan heard An Le call her, her tears instantly welled up. She quickly ran to him, holding his shoulders and crying, “Le Le, it’s Le Le, it’s really Le Le!”
Tang Yan cried uncontrollably, “I’ve seen you when you were little, do you remember? I’ve hugged you before, at the company, do you remember?”
An Le nodded, “I remember.”
He did remember. He remembered that there was a beautiful aunt at the company who liked him very much. Every time he went, she would hug him and give him snacks. But that aunt was beautiful, completely different from the Aunt Tang in front of him.
“I always thought you were dead!”
Tang Yan smiled while wiping away her tears, “An Qiang said, he said you… never mind, it’s good you’re alive, it’s good you’re alive.”
An Le didn’t understand what had happened, reached out to wipe Tang Yan’s tears, and whispered, “Aunt Tang, don’t cry, I, I’m okay…”
“How can you be okay? It’s all because of that beast An Qiang, it’s all him…”
