âIâve been infected,â the young man said and his voice sounded like it was forced out of his throat.
He Xiyan heaved a long sigh and didnât know how to comfort this young man who didnât even look like he was in his twenties.
In other words, he was still a boy.
âYou should speak to a doctor. This disease could be contained with medication and if you take your medication regularly, you might even live an ordinary life. It wouldnât affect your lifespan,â she said solemnly. Her heart ached for this poor young man who looked so young.
The man said, âIâm going to make a police report and tell the police to arrest my boyfriend, that bastard!â
âBoyfriend?â He Xiyanâs eyes widened in surprise and she thought she heard him wrongly.
She quickly understood that this man belonged to a group that were not naturally attracted to the opposite sex.
âDid your boyfriend do it deliberately? â He Xiyan stopped walking and looked at the young boy since they were potentially in the same boat.
The young man seemed very agitated and his eyes were already red-rimmed with tears. His sadness and anger were clearly reflected on his face.
âYes, he was already a carrier of this virus but he deliberately kept it from me and refused to use a condom,â he said.
He Xiyan didnât know how to react.
This was the first time she met someone whose sexual orientation was so different from hers, so she didnât know what to say. When she searched for information on this disease online, she read that gay men were considered a high-risk group, but she didnât expect to encounter someone from the high-risk group today.
âYou should make a police report. It would be illegal if he had indeed did this deliberately.â She could tell that the child was very angry and guessed that he must have been completely unaware of his boyfriendâs condition.
Then, He Xiyanâs phone in her bag rang and she saw that the call was from XX police station.
She picked up the call and said âAlrightâ twice before she hung up.
She emerged from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and drove toward the police station. A police officer had called her earlier and informed her that the man who had hurt her had been arrested.
She was ushered into an office after she arrived and realized that she was not meeting with an ordinary police officer because the badge pinned to his uniform differed from the ordinary police officers.
She met Sergeant Liu.
âPlease take a seat,â Sergeant Liu said and gestured for her to sit. He was on good terms with Ye Hao and had once been in charge of her case when she went missing, so he knew He Xiyan rather well.
âThe Center for Disease Control and Prevention has already informed us about your negative blood test result. They also added that the chances of you having been infected were rather low,â Sergeant Liu said calmly with a small smile.
He Xiyan looked like a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
She had been extremely worried and anxious over the past few days.
âCould you tell me why that man wanted to infect me with a communicable disease?â she asked. She didnât have any mortal enemies, so she couldnât understand why anyone would try to inflict such harm on her.
Sergeant Liu walked to his desk, dug up a document folder and handed it to He Xiyan saying, âThis man is named Liu Zilong and he has been working for Ye Yi for three years. He had acted on Ye Yiâs orders.â
âYe Yi?â He Xiyanâs eyes widened in shock and she felt as though something had exploded in her mind.
She barely had any interaction with Ye Yi and she had nothing against him, so why would he do this to her?
âYes,â Sergeant Liu said with a sigh. âHe conspired with Han Xue and plotted to obtain the Ye familyâs assets and fortune. Ye Yi hoped that his illegitimate son with Han Xue, Ye Chenyu would be able to inherit the Ye family fortune and conspired with Han Xue to force Ye Hao into a marriage with her and to trick Ye Chenyu into thinking that Ye Hao was his biological father.â
