Chapter 750 — Tragic Zhong Yongliang: His Test Report Came Back Fast at the Hospital and Stunned Father and Son Alike

The Blossom Guardian

The kidney was showing severe rejection inside his body, and there were already signs of necrosis. It had to be removed by surgery as quickly as possible!

"The kidney is ruined?" Zhong Yongliang stared at the hospital report, unable to believe it.

Zhong Fabai, meanwhile, smoked cigarette after cigarette and paced back and forth endlessly around the ward. It was indeed the worst possible outcome! He had braced himself for it before, but expectation always leaves room for a lucky hope, and now not a shred of that luck remained.

"Damn it! That bullshit An Jianwen screwed me over!" Zhong Yongliang was so furious that he grabbed the pillow off the hospital bed and hurled it to the floor.

"Yongliang, don't get worked up. You are still a patient, you must not lose your temper!" Zhong Fabai was seething with rage himself. This An Jianwen, if you did not want to change Yongliang's kidney, then just say so. Why put in one that did not even match?

Of course, Zhong Fabai did not believe for a second that An Jianwen had not known beforehand, because in the doctor's own words, for rejection this violent to appear in only two days, the kidney could never have been a match at all. Had they never run a compatibility test?

"Dad, what am I supposed to do? The kidney I just got is already ruined?" Zhong Yongliang was near despair. "I thought I was finally going to become a whole man, but now..."

"No matter what, for now we listen to the doctor and have this kidney cut out. If it rots inside you, the damage will be even worse!" Zhong Fabai thought it over for a moment and made the decision. "As for An Jianwen, we will have plenty of chances to settle accounts with him later!"

"But I really don't want to become a one-kidney man again. It's too miserable!" Zhong Yongliang had once dreamed of becoming a master with a Huang-level kidney, but now it felt like five thunderbolts had struck him from above, and every hope had been shattered!

"A kidney can be found slowly!" Zhong Fabai said. "We are working for Master Bing. Money will surely roll in. With money, are you afraid we cannot buy a good kidney? The urgent task now is to cut out this rotten one!"

"There is nothing else to do!" Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists. "An Jianwen, you and I are sworn enemies. You have made me suffer three times over!"

Counting this kidney-removal operation, Zhong Yongliang had already gone under the knife three times.

Once the decision was made, Zhong Fabai hurried to contact the doctor and got Zhong Yongliang scheduled for kidney-removal surgery.

The police, for their part, did not grow very suspicious. After all, black-market brokers cheating people happened all the time. Zhong Yongliang was just unlucky. He had finally managed to get a kidney transplanted, only it was a mismatch, and it necrosed right away!

Of course, An Jianwen was at this moment also lying in a hospital ward with a face full of pain. He wanted to contact Zhong Yongliang, but he had no way to reach him. The kidney was in Zhong Yongliang's body, and there was no telling whether it could ever be switched back!

Although after leaving the hospital An Jianwen could use his family connections to get himself another kidney, how could a later replacement ever compare to the original?

He still did not know that his kidney inside Zhong Yongliang had already necrosed and was about to be cut out. If he knew, he would probably burst into tears, would he not?

...

News that Tang Yun's family had bought an apartment quickly spread through the shantytown! Several shantytown residents who were usually on good terms with Mama Tang all came to the hospital, hoping to ask if she had any connections.

After all, no one knew what would become of them once the shantytown was demolished and relocated, and everyone wanted to buy a proper flat to live in.

"What? Not only was it two hundred and fifty thousand cheaper? It even came with fine decoration and appliances?" Xiao Fen's parents stared with wide eyes, looking at the excited Mama Tang in disbelief.

"Of course! Our Xiao Yi knows the big boss of the developer. The manager at the sales office acts entirely by looking at that big boss's face. Otherwise do you think I could be so lucky as to get it two hundred and fifty thousand cheaper and still draw the grand prize?" Mama Tang did not say it outright, but the hint was obvious enough!

In truth she saw it very clearly. What she had drawn was an electric kettle, what grand prize was that? But thinking back to the way the sales office manager had looked at Lai Pangzi, she had figured it out. Lai Pangzi was the real big boss!

And Lai Pangzi was utterly respectful to Wei Zhao, acting completely like a little follower. How could Mama Tang fail to see that? Besides, it was clearly her own family begging Lai Pangzi to get something done, yet after doing it he insisted on treating her family to dinner. Where was the sense in that?

So although Mama Tang had said nothing before, once she was back at the hospital she could not help bragging to the neighbors left and right.

"Xiao Wang, you really have found yourself a fine son-in-law!" Xiao Fen's mother sighed with envy.

"Your Xiao Fen is not bad either!" Mama Tang felt that Tang Yun had indeed found a good man, but Xiao Fen was already damaged goods, and lame in one leg, yet she had still landed a decent boyfriend. What incredible luck!

Xiao Fen's mother froze, then thought it over carefully. It was true. Her own daughter could not compare with Tang Yun. In her condition, to still find Kang Xiaobo was truly a blessing earned over eight lifetimes!

"Xiaobo is on good terms with Wei Zhao. Your family should be able to buy a special-price flat too!" Mama Tang said. "But the most important thing is to get the money settled. Without money, no matter how cheap the flat is, it is no use, right?"

"That's true, but who knows when Qibing Real Estate will come to talk about demolition compensation?" Xiao Fen's mother shook her head. "We are not as lucky as your family, getting three million all at once!"

"Ha, was that not traded for Old Tang's leg?" When Mama Tang spoke of those three million, her face bloomed with joy, without a trace of sorrow at trading a leg for money! Because she knew very well that although the money was called leg money in name, in fact it was nothing of the sort!

If Wei Zhao had not taught Li Cihua's younger brother a lesson, would he have handed over the money so readily? Impossible!

"My Xiao Fen's leg is ruined too, but where is a single cent for us?" Xiao Fen's mother sighed.

"That depends on your methods. Make that Kang Zhaoming pay up some money?" Mama Tang suggested.

"How could that be? How would he ever pay us?" Xiao Fen's mother shook her head.

While they were talking, Mama Tang's phone rang.

"I'll take this call first." Mama Tang looked at the caller ID on her phone in puzzlement. It was a strange number! She did not usually get many calls. Apart from Tang Yun and Tang Jucheng, hardly anyone ever called.

"Hello? Hello?" Mama Tang answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Ms. Wang Yujie?" On the other end, Su Jiaonang tried his best to make his voice sound refined.

"This is me. Who are you?" Mama Tang was taken aback, having no idea who the other party was.

"Hello, Ms. Wang. I am Su Jiaonang, the demolition project manager of the Qibing Real Estate Development Company." Su Jiaonang said politely.

"Su Jiaonang? Demolition project manager of Qibing Real Estate?" Mama Tang repeated his name and title, more puzzled than ever. "What do you want with me?"
