Test Results

Yu Tu turned his head and looked at Lu Mi with pleading eyes.

Lu Mi answered for him. "Lord Lan, do it your way. Don't worry about anything. I'll handle him."

Lan Su nodded, set the notebook and pen in his hands on the coffee table, then turned around. His wheelchair carried him toward the workroom.

The workroom was sterile and sealed, with a blue-light disinfection passage leading inside.

Once inside, Lu Mi raised a hand to cover Yu Tu's eyes and guided him to sit in a chair with the other.

When Lan Su came over with the blood-drawing equipment, Lu Mi stared at the collection needle in his hand. "He doesn't really like that. He had a stress reaction in the infirmary before."

Lan Su raised a brow. "A stress reaction isn't something you can ward off just by covering Yu Tu's eyes."

"I know." Lu Mi looked unusually awkward. "I have my own clever method."

"Fine." Lan Su took out a tourniquet. "Commander Yu Tu, raise your arm and roll up your sleeve."

Yu Tu rolled up his sleeve, revealing a somewhat pale wrist. Lan Su tied the tourniquet around his arm, ten centimeters above the elbow, disinfected the area, and took out the blood-drawing needle.

The instant the needle pierced him, Yu Tu's entire body tensed sharply, frightening veins bulging across his neck.

Just as he was about to go berserk, Lu Mi seized his chin, bent down, lowered his head, and pried open his mouth.

Yu Tu: "Mmph! Mmph..."

Yu Tu's violent emotions vanished without a trace. Lan Su lifted a hand to stroke his chin as he admired their kiss from up close, unable to resist sighing.

"Warden Lu, that really was a clever method."

Lu Mi: "..."

He closed his eyes and pretended he had not heard.

Lan Su said, "Warden Lu, you look quite practiced. You must have kissed Commander Yu Tu plenty of times lately, huh?"

Lu Mi: "..."

Yu Tu had been kissed so senseless that he still found time to nod hard.

Lu Mi increased the force in his hand and pulled away for a moment. "0456, accept the warden's punishment. Focus."

Then he kissed him again.

The blood needed for testing had already been collected. After removing the needle, Lan Su stopped Yu Tu's bleeding.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Lan Su withdrew his hand. "That's enough, Warden Lu. You and Commander Yu Tu can go kiss outside. Now I need to work."

Lu Mi: "..."

Lu Mi released the hand covering Yu Tu's eyes and led him out.

"Oh, right."

Lan Su offered a kindly reminder.

"Warden Lu, no getting carried away on my turf, or I'll be angry."

Lu Mi paused, gripping Yu Tu's hand tightly, though his voice was cold.

"Lord Lan, don't misunderstand. 0456 isn't an ordinary serious offender. He is only my prisoner, nothing more."

Lan Su smiled. "Did you hear that, Commander Yu Tu? The way Warden Lu treats you is merely how he treats prisoners. In First Prison, Warden Lu has thousands of serious offenders under his hand."

Yu Tu stood where he was, his face expressionless.

His mind spun rapidly, repeating Lan Su's words.

Lu Mi looked at Yu Tu's face, then hurriedly pulled him outside.

The moment they stepped out of Lan Su's workroom, Yu Tu's eyes widened and he flung Lu Mi's hand away!

His ruby-red eyes stared at Lu Mi, furious and aggrieved.

He accused, "You. Are. Such. A. Scumbag!"

Behind them, the workroom door slowly closed, and Lan Su's pleasantly amused voice drifted out—

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Warden Lu, how could you be such a scumbag to Commander Yu Tu?"

As the final word fell, the door closed with a ding.

Yu Tu's hand nearly instantly clamped around Lu Mi's throat.

The Bean Sprout atop his head popped out and curled into a simple drawing of a flame.

Yu Tu tilted his head slightly, his five fingers tightening. "I. Will. Kill. You."

Lu Mi struggled to breathe. Faint energy patterns emerged on his face as he raised a hand to seize Yu Tu's wrist, barely managing to pry those fingers from his throat.

Lu Mi took a step back and gasped heavily several times. When he looked up, he saw Yu Tu reaching for the Energy Lock Ring on his hand.

Lu Mi was startled. He rushed forward, hugged Yu Tu, and frantically kissed his face. "Baby, I swear, you're the only one I've ever kissed!"

Yu Tu stopped moving and turned to look at him.

Panicked, Lu Mi rubbed against his neck. "Baby, think about it. You're so formidable—how could I possibly go looking for someone else? My waist still hurts."

Lu Mi took Yu Tu's hand and placed it on his waist. "Help me massage it?"

Yu Tu blinked and thought for a while before saying angrily, "Lan Su is a bad person!"

"Hm?"

"He's sowing discord!"

"..."

"I almost fell for his scheme!"

Yu Tu regretted it terribly when he saw the red marks on Lu Mi's neck.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I couldn't control my temper just now."

Now it was Yu Tu rubbing against Lu Mi.

"You make me feel so good. How could I hurt you?"

Lu Mi let out a breath of relief, turned around, and lay facedown on the sofa. With a cold snort, he said, "0456, it's good that you know. Come here and massage my waist!"

He glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner.

Lan Su, did you see that?

What did family status mean?

This was family status.

Lu Mi comfortably closed his eyes and began enjoying Yu Tu's massage.

Inside the workroom, Lan Su shifted his gaze from the surveillance screen and could not help letting out a mocking laugh.

"Heh. What a disgrace to leopards."

The testing took nearly an hour in total.

When Lan Su emerged from the workroom, his face was somewhat pale.

His health was not very good. Lu Mi had to warm up two bags of nutrient solution for him before he recovered.

"Lu Mi, come take a look."

Lan Su opened the laptop on the desk. Its data was synchronized with the workroom's experimental data.

The screen was filled with data. For an academic failure like Lu Mi, one glance was enough to make him dizzy.

Lu Mi resisted the urge to yawn, looked away, and said, "Lord Lan, just tell me directly."

Lan Su glanced at Yu Tu in the distance.

Yu Tu clearly had no interest whatsoever in the results of his blood test. He was standing beside a shelf next to the sofa.

All kinds of strange little mechanical toys were arranged on the shelf.

Lu Mi said, "Lord Lan, don't worry. I told him that while he's here, he can only look, not touch."

Lan Su nodded, his gaze settling on the computer screen. "I detected more than a hundred types of drugs in Yu Tu's blood."

Lu Mi frowned. "More than a hundred?"

"Yes," Lan Su said. "Yu Tu is a Diamond-grade Energy Master. His body's metabolic capacity is already extremely strong. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for so many drug residues to remain in his body."

"Unless?"

"Unless the drug levels in his body are severely excessive—so excessive that even his body cannot metabolize them—or else..."

Lan Su opened a file.

"This is an experimental report released by the Blue River System Pharmacists Association at the beginning of this year.

The Pharmacists Association discovered a rare plant and extracted a substance from it called Desire Compound.

Experiments proved that this Desire Compound could completely affect Diamond-grade Energy Masters. Even Diamond-grade Energy Masters could not metabolize it through their own bodies.

The only way to reduce Desire Compound was through intercourse.

For that reason, less than a month after the report was released, Desire Compound was placed on the Pharmacists Association's list of prohibited drugs."

Lu Mi remained silent with a cold expression. He had already guessed what Lan Su was about to say.

Sure enough, Lan Su said,

"There are indeed many drug residues in Yu Tu's body, but the largest proportion is Desire Compound.

The Desire Compound level in his body is severely excessive. It has even reached the lethal dose established by the Pharmacists Association's public testing.

I suspect that the reason for Yu Tu's emotional instability is Desire Compound.

Desire Compound itself only increases the desire for intercourse, but there is far too much of it in his body. And according to what he said, he has no intention of being with anyone else.

With the level so high and his instincts suppressed, it could easily cause an emotional breakdown.

To put it bluntly..."

Lan Su paused slightly. "Lu Mi, Yu Tu was lucky to have survived until now."
