As soon as the court’s verdict was announced, He Lang immediately drove to the hospital.
Deng Hui was sentenced to life in prison. Although He Lang wished he were dead, seeing someone like Deng Hui, who had fallen from the clouds to hell in an instant and could never recover, was even more maddening.
Lu Yue suddenly had a high fever and passed out the night before yesterday, and then remained unconscious. Signs of improvement were observed this morning before he left. However, He Lang still had an uneasy feeling, an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
His heart had been pounding nervously. He Lang tightened his grip on the steering wheel to increase his speed.
Ten minutes later, He Lang parked in front of the hospital and walked in. His legs were long and strong, wrapped in black trousers. As soon as he entered the lobby, he exuded an imposing pressure.
He Lang didn’t glance around and went straight to the second floor. However, as he passed the front desk, a figure suddenly appeared that made him nervous.
It was Gu An.
He looked really off.
Holding his breath, He Lang’s eyes were fixed on the person who suddenly appeared here for some unknown reason.
Lu Yue is wearing a white hospital gown, with messy hair, sticking to his scalp, his eyes bloodshot, and his expression unusually irritable. When Lu Yue rushed down from the second floor, He Lang only then noticed that he was still barefoot!
Did he run out before he was fully recovered? He Lang had an impulse to pick him up and spank him. In the past, when Gu An was sick and refused to take medicine, He Lang would use these embarrassing methods to make him obedient.
But now, he didn’t have the qualifications, nor could he bring himself to do it now.
He Lang pursed his lips and walked forward, reaching out to grab him. “Don’t wander around.”
“Get out of my way!” Lu Yue’s mind was in chaos now. The surrounding voices seemed to be pounding on thick copper walls, driving him crazy. The thing in front of him seemed to be blurry, and it was hard to see clearly.
He only had one thought in his mind now, which was to find Deng Hui and watch him be destroyed!
Lu Yue pushed the person in front of him in a daze, and then walked towards the door with weak but persistent steps. Suddenly, Deng Hui’s disgustingly twisted face appeared before him.
How could Deng Hui be here? Wasn’t he already under arrest? How could he appear here?
In a daze, Deng Hui’s face was facing him, with a wide open mouth, while licking the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth with a crimson, grimacing tongue, and making terrifying sounds. “Hmph, it’s impossible for me to be caught. No matter how hard you try, it’s useless!”
Lu Yue’s face turned pale with fear instantly.
Why was Deng Hui here? Wasn’t he sentenced?
“No way!”
“This is impossible!”
A sharp voice resounded in the lobby, and more than ten pairs of eyes suddenly turned to Lu Yue.
And the male nurse closest to Lu Yue was even more puzzled. He just glanced at this patient a few more times. Why did he seem so agitated?
Meanwhile, He Lang, caught off guard by Lu Yue’s push, turned around to see Lu Yue clutching his head, trembling uncontrollably. His pale face was filled with fear and unease, like a trapped beast, anxiously pacing on the brink of collapse.
He Lang’s heart skipped a beat, and the sense of unease that had arisen earlier now seemed to grow like rampant weeds in his mind.
Lu Yue… something was terribly wrong.
In the midst of confusion, there was another sound of glass shattering.
Lu Yue had already pounced on the male nurse. The male nurse was shocked, and the glass bottle containing the IV fluid was knocked out of his hand, crashing to the ground with a clatter, spilling the pale yellow liquid everywhere.
In the next moment, Lu Yue lunged at the male nurse, fiercely biting into his neck, teeth sinking into flesh, his crimson eyes filled with rage and hatred.
The male nurse screamed in pain as his neck was bitten, and blood started flowing. When he saw Lu Yue’s irrational and bloodshot eyes, he was even more terrified. He was facing a madman!
“Quick…someone come and pull him away!”
The surrounding doctors and nurses finally reacted and rushed forward to subdue Lu Yue. But whenever someone touched him, Lu Yue behaved like a ferocious mad dog, randomly scratching at people. The eyes of those around him were filled with vigilance and danger.
He Lang walked over with a stern expression, grabbing Lu Yue’s right hand. But the next moment, he felt a sharp pain on his cheek as three shallow scratches began to bleed.
He Lang didn’t even frown. He just firmly held Lu Yue’s shoulder, while his dark eyes stared deeply into the young man’s face. The young man always seemed thinner than before, almost no flesh on his wrist, and the delicate bones seeming like they could snap at any moment. But his strength was greater than ever before. He Lang had to use eighty percent of his strength to restrain him.
Lu Yue struggled violently while being restrained, his mind filled with countless images of Deng Hui’s face. The murderer who had harmed He Lang and leering maliciously in front of him.
The anger within him surged, and the monster lurking in his blood was about to break free from its cage.
Panting, Lu Zixi finally caught up from behind. When he heard the commotion from afar, his heart jumped with fear. But when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.
He saw Lu Yue viciously biting into the neck of a stern-faced man, and blood flowing. The man simply held onto Lu Yue tightly, enduring his struggles, without even blinking.
“What’s going on? How is Xiao An?”
“What happened? Can’t you see the bite marks on my neck?” The male nurse who had been bitten by Lu Yue earlier suddenly got up from the ground, shouting loudly at Lu Zixi.
“Keep the lunatic in the ward and don’t let him out like a mad dog!”
The male nurse became more and more agitated, cursing Lu Yue as a “lunatic” and “psychopath.” Lu Zixi apologized several times before the man angrily walked away.
When he turned around, He Lang had already carried Lu Yue, who was still struggling and whimpering, up to the second floor.
Lu Zixi followed behind, calling out, “How is Xiao An?”
“Go call the doctor.” The tall figure didn’t pause for a moment.
The man’s tone was cold, completely different from his previous respectful and serious demeanor, as if he had become a different person.
Lu Zixi glanced at Lu Yue, who was still abnormal, pursing his lips before turning away.
When the doctor arrived, Lu Yue was still struggling to wave his arms, but He Lang pressed him down on the bed while enduring his struggles silently. His collar was soaked in blood, and there was a deep red tooth mark on his neck, indicating the force Lu Yue had used. And there were still three claw marks on his face from being scratched.
After taking a look at He Lang, the doctor shifted his gaze to Lu Yue, seeming to contemplate which one to examine first.
Sensing the doctor’s gaze, He Lang spoke coldly, “Examine him first.”
As he spoke, the person in his arms began to struggle again, shouting incessantly, “Deng Hui! I will never let you off! Let go of me! Let go—”
He Lang’s heart skipped a beat at Lu Yue’s piercing screams, causing a sharp pain in his heart, as if a dagger had pierced through it.
“Give him a sedative,” He Lang’s voice was stern.
One minute later, the young man on the bed gradually stopped struggling, and his bloodshot eyes reluctantly closed.
“What’s the result?” Two hours later, He Lang approached the doctor holding the test report.
The doctor, in his forties, rubbed his eyes and said slowly, “His blood contains a large amount of hallucinogenic drugs, and his madness is likely caused by long-term use of a certain hallucinogen combined with stimulation.”
Hallucinogenic drugs? He Lang’s blood ran cold. Of course, he remembered how he had mixed those white powder drugs into the ground coffee and watched the young man unsuspectingly drink it.
He had caused him to become like this with his own hands.
He Lang’s eyes reddened, and the pain in his heart almost overflowed from his throat, but he had to swallow it down. The person he had cherished so dearly had now become like this because of him. He had driven Lu Yue to madness.
He Lang stood there, as if turned into a cold statue.
After a long time, he finally spoke, “Can he be cured?”
“We’ve never encountered this kind of drug before. It may be a newly developed hallucinogen, and there is no cure for it at the moment. Moreover, it’s difficult to save patients who have taken too much of this drug. We can only control it with medication, avoid further stimulation, and try to keep the patient’s mental state stable.”
He Lang’s jaw tensed, and the veins on his forehead slightly bulged from gritting his teeth. “I understand.”
After the doctor left, He Lang stood alone in front of the young man, his gaze lingering gently on his face, before squatting down and gently kissing Lu Yue’s lips.
Just this kiss alone made him feel like crying, as if flames were ignited where their lips met, burning both body and soul. The long-suppressed pain and guilt finally erupted at this moment.
“Yes, I regret it! I shouldn’t have doubted you, let alone hurt you like this!”
“I, He Lang, am a bastard!”
The man lay at the head of the young man’s bed, unabashedly shouting in a hoarse voice. He seemed like a child who had done something wrong, helpless and terrified. Because he knew this was the most wrong thing he had done in his life.
He could only apologize while the young man was asleep, because he knew if the young man ever found out he was He Lang, and if he knew he had approached him with such great hatred and hurt him, the young man would surely collapse and never forgive him.
He truly regretted it…
