Partner Mark

The door to the Special Interrogation Room suddenly flew open.

Zhang Jiao ran out, his face deathly pale.

A wave of scorched odor came with him.

He slammed the door shut, clutched his chest with his right hand, and could not stop himself from gasping for breath.

"Lord Zhang, what happened?"

Zhang Jiao was actually the same rank as an ordinary prison officer, but because of his special position, the other prison officers still respectfully addressed him as Lord Zhang.

Still shaken, Zhang Jiao said, "Don't even mention it! It was way too brutal!"

"This smell... Warden Lu tortured 0456? And he still wouldn't confess?"

Zhang Jiao nodded. "He was once the First Commander, after all. If even those above couldn't handle it, how could it be settled so easily? Judging by Warden Lu's expression... he's probably in for more suffering."

Zhang Jiao waved a hand. "Enough, just seeing what I saw was enough to leave me recovering for ten days or half a month. Boo-hoo, this counts as a workplace injury. I'm going back to file for injury compensation!"

The Special Interrogation Room had been built with special materials and was exceptionally soundproof.

Outside the door, Zhang Jiao walked away, still shaken.

Inside, Lu Mi unlocked the shackles restraining Yu Tu's movements, picked him up, and placed him on the sofa.

Yu Tu looked terrible. His face was ghostly pale from the electric shock.

The ends of his white hair had been badly singed, blackened and curled in many places.

Even in that state, he still glared at Lu Mi with those red eyes, his fury plainly visible.

Lu Mi gritted his teeth. "What are you getting angry for? It wasn't like I did it on purpose!"

Besides, what right did Yu Tu have to be angry?

They were ex-boyfriends now!

Of course, he did not say that aloud.

Not because he did not dare to, but because there was no need.

Yu Tu widened his eyes. "You... snapped... at me!"

Beneath the Energy Lock Ring, veins began to stand out along Yu Tu's neck again, making Lu Mi's eyelid twitch.

"I didn't snap at you!"

"You did!"

Lu Mi felt as if darkness was gathering between his brows.

He did not want to waste his breath explaining things to Yu Tu.

His leather-gloved fingers directly gripped Yu Tu's face, and he lowered his head to kiss him.

Yu Tu raised a hand instinctively. Lu Mi pressed him down with the motion, taking him down onto the sofa as well.

His officer's cap fell to the floor. Lu Mi pinned Yu Tu's legs with one knee; the harder Yu Tu struggled, the fiercer Lu Mi's assault became.

Their lips and tongues tangled. At last, Yu Tu went completely limp. Lu Mi lifted his head, his gaze icy.

A strand of saliva stretched between them before snapping.

"0456, have you calmed down now?"

Yu Tu panted softly. "Mm... sorry. I can't control myself. And the electric shock made me feel terrible."

Yu Tu did not know how to describe the feeling. Seeing Lu Mi's waist being held felt even more unbearable than enemies trying to steal his water.

Parched earth needed sweet rain, but his agitation only needed intimate contact with Lu Mi to be soothed.

Yu Tu raised his arms around Lu Mi's waist and rubbed his head against Lu Mi's neck.

"Can we keep going? Your kisses feel so good."

"..."

Lu Mi pulled Yu Tu's hands away.

"0456, this is the Special Interrogation Room. You are the prisoner I'm interrogating today. My purpose is to pry open your mouth, not wait on you."

Yu Tu quickly shut his mouth.

Lu Mi picked up his officer's cap and put it back on. Rising from the sofa, he straightened his slightly rumpled uniform.

He walked to the wall of torture instruments beside them, his fingers passing over them one by one.

"0456, I hope you can be more honest. Every one of these instruments would make you wish you were dead if used on you."

Lu Mi turned around and looked down at Yu Tu. "Now tell me honestly. Why do you claim that you're 'innocent'?"

Yu Tu kept his mouth shut.

"0456?"

"..."

"0456!"

"..."

"0456, don't test my patience. And wipe that punchable look off your face!"

Why was he looking at him with that damn expression?

Yu Tu blinked.

Lu Mi took a deep breath. "0456, speak!"

Yu Tu raised a hand and pointed at his mouth.

Lu Mi said, "Speak. Properly!"

Yu Tu said in a small voice, "Warden Lu, my mouth is closed. Go ahead and pry it open."

Lu Mi said, "..."

Lu Mi left the Special Interrogation Room with a face like thunder. The instant the door closed, the prison officers outside all flinched.

"Warden Lu, please calm down... the interrogation of the First Commander definitely won't go smoothly."

Lu Mi did not want to say another word. He simply turned and strode away.

He took a lap around the collective prison block of First Prison. The murderous aura on his face was so frightening that every serious offender who saw him kept silent.

Half an hour later, Lu Mi returned to the Special Interrogation Room.

Yu Tu was still sitting on the sofa.

The moment he saw him, his eyes lit up.

Lu Mi strode over and sat down. With one sweep of his arm, he lifted Yu Tu onto his lap, then lowered his head to kiss him.

Wasn't he just prying open someone's mouth?

It was not difficult.

As they kissed, the white vine on Yu Tu's head emerged again, swaying back and forth in waves.

Lu Mi closed his eyes, then opened them again after a long while.

"What exactly does that Bean Sprout on your head mean?"

Blushing, Yu Tu touched his Energy Vine.

"Oh, it's saying... you... your kisses feel so good."

The Bean Sprout swayed even more happily.

Lu Mi said, "..."

Lu Mi raised his right hand and bit off his leather glove.

His long fingers slid down from Yu Tu's waist, his gaze fixed steadily on Yu Tu's face.

As mist gradually rose in Yu Tu's red eyes, Lu Mi leaned close to his ear and asked softly, "Commander Yu Tu, tell me. Why won't you confess?"

Yu Tu's voice trembled. "I... I didn't do it."

Lu Mi frowned. "You were framed?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"I... I don't know what happened. Suddenly, people barged in, shouting my name and saying I had committed First-Degree Treason. Then they put an Energy Lock Ring and shackles on me, and in the end, I was brought here."

Lu Mi's movements intensified. Yu Tu tipped his head back with a whimper, his sensual Adam's apple bobbing, before he finally slumped against Lu Mi's chest.

Lu Mi carried Yu Tu to his feet and laid him flat on the sofa.

Their clothing formed a stark contrast in the room.

Lu Mi rubbed his fingers together. "Commander Yu Tu, looking like this, you really are..."

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the area below Yu Tu's lower abdomen, and his expression turned cold at once.

Lu Mi pressed a fingertip against it. "Yu Tu, you really are heartless. Not only did you want my life, you didn't even want to keep the mark here, did you?"

Yu Tu's chest rose and fell. "What mark?"

"The Partner Mark."

When Energy Masters became partners, they could use their source power to leave a Partner Mark on the other person's body.

A Partner Mark lasted for life. It could be removed, but doing so would damage one's own source power.

Back then, there had been a Black Panther Mark below Yu Tu's lower abdomen.

But now, the Black Panther Mark was gone.
