Chapter 750 — A Wretched Zhong Yongliang
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
The kidney was showing severe rejection inside his body and already beginning to necrotize—it had to be surgically removed as soon as possible!
"The kidney's gone bad?" Zhong Yongliang stared at the hospital's test report, hardly able to believe it.
Zhong Fabai, meanwhile, chain-smoked and paced back and forth in the hospital room. So it was the worst possible outcome after all! He had foreseen it, true, but while foreseeing there is always some faint hope to cling to; now there was not a shred of hope left.
"Damn it! That bastard An Liwen screwed me!" Zhong Yongliang was so furious that he snatched up the pillow from the sickbed and hurled it to the floor.
"Pinliang, don't be rash—you're still a patient, you mustn't get worked up!" Zhong Fabai was seething too. This An Liwen—if you weren't going to find Pinliang a new kidney, then don't, but what possessed you to give him an incompatible one?
Of course, Zhong Fabai did not believe for a moment that An Liwen hadn't known beforehand. As the doctor put it, for such violent rejection to set in within two days, the kidney could never have been a match—had they not even run a compatibility test beforehand?
"Dad, what am I going to do? The kidney I just got is already ruined?" Zhong Yongliang was close to despair. "I thought I'd finally be a healthy man from now on, but now..."
"Whatever happens now, we follow the doctor's advice and cut this kidney out. If we leave it to necrotize inside you, the damage will only be worse!" Zhong Fabai pondered a moment and made his decision. "As for An Liwen, there'll be plenty of chances to settle accounts with him later!"
"But I really don't want to go back to being a one-kidney man—it's too miserable!" Zhong Yongliang had once dreamed of becoming a top fighter with a Yellow-rank kidney, but now he felt as though lightning had struck him from a clear sky; every last hope lay in ruins!
"Kidneys can be found slowly, one at a time!" Zhong Fabai said. "As long as we keep working for Young Master Bing, money will be plentiful in the future—and with money, what's there to worry about in finding a good kidney? The urgent thing is to cut out this bad one!"
"I suppose that's all we can do!" Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists. "An Liwen, you and I are sworn enemies from this day on—this is the third time you've made me suffer!"
Counting this kidney-removal surgery, Zhong Yongliang had now been cut open three times.
Having made the decision, Zhong Fabai hurried off to make the arrangements, and Zhong Yongliang was taken in for the kidney-removal operation.
As for the police, they were not especially suspicious—after all, shady brokers cheating people happened all the time, and Zhong Yongliang had simply been unlucky: he'd finally gotten a kidney, only for it to be an incompatible one that promptly went necrotic!
At that moment, of course, An Liwen lay in his own hospital room, his face a mask of agony. He wanted to contact Zhong Yongliang but had no way to reach him; his kidney was in Zhong Yongliang's body now, and he had no idea whether he would ever get it back!
It was true that once out of the hospital, An Liwen could use his family's connections to procure another kidney for himself—but how could a replacement kidney ever be as good as the original?
He still did not know that his kidney in Zhong Yongliang's body had already gone necrotic and was about to be cut out. Had he known, he would probably have wept himself hoarse.

Word that Tang Zhi's family had bought an apartment spread through the shantytown in no time! Several residents who were on good terms with Tang's mother came to the hospital right away, hoping to ask her whether she had any connections.
After all, no one knew what things would be like once the shantytown was demolished and relocated, and everyone wanted to buy an apartment building of their own.
