Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 632: Over His Dead Body!

Closing the door behind him, Mu Yuze maintained a stoic expression as he walked for quite some distance until he reached a relatively desolate corner. Then without warning, his feet staggered and he hastily grasped onto the wall for support, gasping for breath.

Oh God...

Mu Yuze clenched his jaws tight. His ears felt scorchingly hot as if they had been fried in a pan, and he could only pray that his poker face had not betrayed him by blushing intensely. The words Su Xieren said kept echoing in his mind like a broken cassette:

"This time, he can no longer suppress it with the inhibitor alone. I’ve also informed him that in his current state, he only has two choices— either he bears it alone, or he spends it with an omega."

Although Su Xieren did not express it explicitly, Mu Yuze knew the consequences Alphas faced when spending their rut alone, particularly someone like He Juan – a superior Alpha who had not experienced rut in the past seven years. During this period, the Alpha’s senses would be heightened to an extreme level, and they would be extremely aggressive, rough and savage. Stripped to their primal instincts, it was akin to being reduced to a mere beast. And if they were to be confined alone, it would only agitate their nerves, which could potentially lead them to harming their own selves. It was the stark contrast to an omega’s heat that left them all weak and vulnerable.

This was the reason why most Alphas chose to spend their rut with an omega. Aside from the fact that omega’s pheromones were the only thing that could soothe them, the rut duration would also shorten significantly, sparing them from the meaningless suffering. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

All in all, it would be more beneficial for He Juan not to spend his rut alone this year. And from Mu Yuze’s recollection, He Juan had also taken a partner during these moments in the past, though he claimed that he would feel horrible about it afterward.

But this time...

This time, Mu Yuze was here. Mu Yuze, his true mate. So it was a given that he would be accompanying He Juan during his rut, right?

"W–What should I do?" Mu Yuze let out a quiet whimper, squeezing his eyes shut. "I–I haven’t even gone all the way with him yet, and all of a sudden, I have to..." A hint of doubt sprouted in his heart, causing him to bite down on his bottom lip. "Can I handle him... when the time comes...?"

A few years ago, when his crush on He Juan had just taken root, he had done his research out of sheer curiosity. What a smitten fool he was, daydreaming about the day when He Juan would finally choose him and only him as a partner...

Alas, when it finally turned into reality, he became fraught with anxiety instead. His mind was consumed with useless thoughts such as— what if he did not perform well? What if something went wrong midway and he ended up making his Gege suffer even more? Was he truly enough?

Yet deep down, he knew that as long as He Juan asked him to be his partner, he would agree in a heartbeat.

"Mu Yuze!"

Mu Yuze’s heart almost leaped out of his throat when he heard Kang Guanyu calling out for him. Outwardly, however, he very naturally straightened up as if he had just tied his shoelaces instead of freaking out at the notion of being He Juan’s rut partner.

Kang Guanyu jogged over to him, grumbling, "Geez, didn’t I tell you to wait for me? How is it? Have you met Mr. Su?"

"Mn." Keeping a face as straight as he could, Mu Yuze handed the recorder over. "The statement is here. You’re done, right? Let’s go back to the bureau."

"Oh, oh!" Kang Guanyu hurried to catch up to him while stuffing the earbud into his ear to listen to the statement. Mu Yuze might have enjoyed the various changes of his expression if it weren’t for his thundering heart that almost made him sick on the stomach. "Holy shit, I didn’t expect that..." Kang Guanyu gasped, still trying to wrap his head around the information he’d just heard.

Mu Yuze slightly quickened his pace as he entered the empty elevator and pressed the button for the lobby, while Kang Guanyu trailing close behind.

Don’t ask, don’t ask, he prayed fervently inside his heart.

Alas, God was cruel and denied him of his wishes, as Kang Guanyu sidled closer to him and whispered, despite there being only two of them in the narrow space. "Psst, so... will you... help him?"

Once again, Mu Yuze felt heat rapidly spreading from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he ground his jaws to prevent himself from blushing. How he wished the floor would open up and swallow him whole right now. Why oh why, why must he discuss such a private detail with Kang Guanyu, of all people?! As if it was not mortifying enough for him!

The elevator arrived with a ding, and Mu Yuze strode out before the doors could even fully open, welcoming the cold air that caressed his warm face.

But apparently, Kang Guanyu lacked the ability to read the room as he continued pressing Mu Yuze for more details, "I heard that a superior Alpha’s rut is on another level. As for me, ugh, don’t ask me for details. My rut is literally me feeling feverish and extra needy – that’s all. As for XIU... didn’t his medical record state that he has not experienced any rut for the past seven years?! Holy fucking shit, it would definitely be brutal then. Do you think merely one partner would be enough for him—"

"Why," Mu Yuze abruptly turned to him with a sharp glare. "wouldn’t one be enough?"

Not expecting such a reaction, Kang Guanyu almost tripped on his own feet as he scrambled to give out an excuse, "I–I mean, it will be a culmination of seven years’ worth of rut. It would surely... be..." he eventually trailed off when Mu Yuze’s expression became uglier with each passing second.

He Juan, taking more than one partner to his bed? Ha! Over his dead body!

Mu Yuze loomed over Kang Guanyu and jabbed his finger on the other person’s chest. The doubt and hesitation that lingered in his eyes had vanished, replaced by blazing resolution and anger. "Only me... only I alone am allowed to help him, do you understand?"

Sensing the impending danger, Kang Guanyu instinctively squawked out, "Y–Yes, Sir!"

With a satisfied harrumph, Mu Yuze turned and walked toward the car. Inside his heart, he resolved to give He Juan the green light as soon as the Alpha brought up the matter to him.

Except...

Until they returned to the office to submit the evidence and the evening sky descended into night, He Juan did not respond to the Bureau’s summon, nor did he attempt to contact Mu Yuze at all.
