Chapter 54: Call Me Husband, and Brother Will Give It to You
Lu Huaiyuan was already waiting in the hall. Uncle Chen was just as anxious as he was. When the two saw Shen Yanzhou rushing in with Lin Yuan in his arms, they quickly gathered around.
“Master, what has happened now?” Uncle Chenâs face was even more wrinkled with worry.
Shen Yanzhou shook his head. “Save him first!” With that, he ran upstairs with Lu Huaiyuan.
Entering the bedroom, Shen Yanzhou placed Lin Yuan gently on the bed. “Huaiyuan, he was taken to a club, and they forced him to take drugs!” He explained the situation as he knew it.
Lu Huaiyuan nodded. Using a needle he had prepared in advance, he drew some blood from Lin Yuanâs vein.
“Iâll test what kind of toxin it is, then clear the drug components from his blood!” Lu Huaiyuan said.
Shen Yanzhou sat at the head of the bed, holding Lin Yuan tightly. He lowered his head and gently rubbed his small head. “Baby, be good. Don’t be afraid!”
After ten minutes of waiting, Lin Yuan felt his bodyâs endurance had reached its limit. He was going crazy! It felt as if thousands of insects were biting and gnawing at his flesh and bones, and a wave of heat was rushing wildly through his entire body. His consciousness was becoming more clouded, reaching the brink of collapse.
“Huaiyuan, can you be any faster?” Shen Yanzhou urged anxiously.
Lu Huaiyuan looked at his watch and pressed the switch on the portable tester a minute early to get the results. When he looked at the test results on the report, his brow furrowed even tighter.
“They are absolute bastards! This is the latest type of potent toxin, and they gave him almost a lethal dose!”
“With this dosage, they were aiming to destroy him! I truly can’t imagine how he managed to endure until now…” Lu Huaiyuan didn’t dare continue speaking. He could clearly see that Shen Yanzhouâs exquisite eyes were now filled with a beast-like, frantic rage. His knuckles were white from clenching his fists.
Lu Huaiyuan: “Iâm injecting the antidote now, but it can only reduce the damage the residual drug does to his body. He will still be very uncomfortable.” As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yanzhou. “Yanzhou, the rest… depends on you…”
Shen Yanzhou understood his meaning and nodded. Lu Huaiyuan slowly pushed a tube of antidote into Lin Yuanâs thin vein. Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed Lu Huaiyuanâs arm.
“Brother…”
Lu Huaiyuan said softly, “Lin Yuan, itâs me!”
Lin Yuan struggled to open his eyes and realized he had grabbed the wrong person. He quickly let go and pulled back.
Seeing the poor little thing like this, Shen Yanzhouâs heart throbbed with pain.
“Alright, Yanzhou, Iâll head back first.” Lu Huaiyuan thought for a moment and added a reminder, “But… don’t use too much force!”
Shen Yanzhou nodded. “I understand.”
Only the two of them remained in the room. Lin Yuanâs face was covered in a layer of fine sweat, and his small face was pale. Shen Yanzhou stood at the bedside, leaning over him. He gently touched his dry lips.
Lin Yuanâs small hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. “Brother… Iâm dying of discomfort… help me…” His voice was so soft it was nearly drowned out by his rapid breathing. It was heart-wrenching to hear.
“Mm, how do you want Brother to help you?” Shen Yanzhou whispered into his ear. He was asking knowingly. He wanted the boy to say it himself!
“I want… I want Brother…” Lin Yuanâs lips trembled as he squeezed out a few words. His eyes were red. He bit his lip hard; his last shred of reason made him feel incredibly ashamed. But that last shred of reason was so vulnerable.
Shen Yanzhouâs Adamâs apple bobbed up and down. His voice wasn’t loud, but his breathing became rapid. “Baby, call me ‘Husband,’ and Brother will give it to you…”
Lin Yuan bit his lip hard, holding out for a few seconds. He couldn’t hold out any longer. A large teardrop fell from the corner of his eye as he cried out, “H-Husbandâ”
Shen Yanzhou felt a rush of blood to his head, and his jaw muscle twitched wildly. He leaned over.
[…]
The moon rose over the branches, and the night was as cool as water. Soft light poured in through the window. No curtains were drawn in the room, and no lights were on. This was because when they began, Shen Yanzhou hadn’t bothered with the curtains. At that time, it was around three in the afternoon, the sky was bright, and there was naturally no need for lights.
This session had lasted until the middle of the night.
Looking at the little person who had gradually quieted down beneath him, Shen Yanzhou was filled with satisfaction. He reached for a cigarette box, took one out, and held it between his lips. He didn’t reach for a lighter. He knew Lin Yuan was afraid of the smoke.
Holding that pure black cigarette, he turned on his side and looked down at Lin Yuanâs face. The pale color was long gone, and his small cheeks were flushed. His lips were also very red and moist, which was partly due to several hours of friction and severe congestion.
At the thought of the congestion, an involuntary sense of pity rose in Shen Yanzhouâs heart. Over these few hours, because the drug was so deep, the boy had clung to him and asked for it countless times. He would have to apply some ointment to his baby later to avoid infection.
He stared unblinkingly at the person on the bed, then lowered his head to kiss his small face gently. The little thing had truly worked hard. Having been poisoned so dangerously, he had still managed to endure to the death, waiting for him to help him “detox.”
Shen Yanzhouâs peach blossom eyes were full of love and doting. Lin Yuan seemed to be in a state between sleep and wakefulness.
Shen Yanzhou whispered “Wife” into his ear.
“Mm…” Lin Yuan responded, his voice as soft as a cute kitten.
“Want more?”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
“Feeling better?” Shen Yanzhou asked again.
“Mm…”
“Then what should you say to Husband?” His voice held a hint of laughter as he teased him.
“…Thank you… Husband…”
Shen Yanzhouâs heart trembled slightly as he lowered his head to kiss his white neck. “Good girl, Wife! Shall Husband apply some ointment there for you?”
Lin Yuan gave a hum and shook his small head. “No…”
Shen Yanzhou coaxed him softly, “Be good, you can’t handle it yourself. Husband will be very, very gentle, okay?”
Lin Yuan finally nodded. Shen Yanzhou took the ointment Lu Huaiyuan had given him last time from the bedside table. He gently patted Lin Yuanâs butt. “Baby, back facing up.”
Lin Yuan squirmed a bit. Shen Yanzhou squeezed out some ointment and carefully applied it for him. It might have been a bit painful; Lin Yuanâs body trembled slightly, but he didn’t make a sound. Shen Yanzhou quickly patted his back soothingly.
Once the ointment was applied, Lin Yuan drifted off into a groggy sleep. Shen Yanzhou covered him with a thin quilt and left a gentle kiss on the back of his white neck before slowly standing up.
Now, he had to handle another urgent matter. He put on his shirt, casually rolling up the sleeves to reveal a section of strong, powerful forearms. The extreme tenderness in his eyes from just now had disappeared, replaced by a deep, cold chill.
It had been a while since he had gone on a killing spree!
He took out his phone and called Yue Ping. Only then did he discover he had three missed calls from him. He remembered they had agreed to go to the hospital to talk to Secretary Zhao tonight. Fearing Yue Ping couldn’t reach him, he had been worried.
He dialed the number back. He briefly explained the situation.
“Have the people in Jiangcheng investigate thoroughly. Dig out everyone involved in this matterâdon’t leave a single one out! Also, check if Shen Juan is behind this!” He thought for a moment and added, “And Yu Yiâan!”
Hanging up, Shen Yanzhou opened the phone monitoring program again. He synchronized the dynamic content of Lin Yuanâs phone and examined it carefully. He needed to start from here to understand if Lin Yuan had been targeted by anyone suspicious before being taken to Jiangcheng.
He discovered that in the morning, his phone had only received a call from one number. When he saw the name noted for that number, Shen Yanzhouâs eyes instantly turned cold.
“‘Waiting for You to Come Home’ volunteer?”
He had actually secretly run off to meet a volunteer from that finding relatives website?
