Chapter 848 — An Liwen's Kidney Transplant
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"The cost is no problem! It's my transplant, so naturally I'll cover it — how could I let you bear it, brother?" An Liwen said quickly. "As for your health, we can build you up after the transplant, can't we? How about this: I'll give you some money for nourishment, and you can buy whatever tonics you like?"
"Is that so..." Zhong Yongliang was secretly overjoyed, thinking: An Liwen, you fool, I'm giving you a dog's kidney and you're still paying me — you're stupid beyond belief! But his face betrayed nothing as he said, "Since Brother An puts it that way, it'd be hard for me to refuse. I suppose that's the only way... But this nourishment money — how much can you give me?"
"How about five hundred thousand?" An Liwen gritted his teeth. That was half his private savings; the rest had all gone to the Fire Wolf Gang and the An family, so it pained him a little. But then he thought: his career was back, his kidney was in hand — what was a little money? He was enjoying a double blessing!
"Fine, then. When do we do the transplant?" An Liwen asked, a little impatiently.
"Well... Brother An, since you're in such a hurry, it wouldn't be right for me to delay. How about tomorrow?" Zhong Yongliang said. "The private clinic where I had the tests done can perform the surgery, and I've already had Little Fu arrange it!"
"Good, good! Tomorrow it is! Brother Pinliang, I thank you! I'll treat you to a fine meal when the time comes!" Overjoyed at Zhong Yongliang's words, An Liwen thanked him profusely.
Once Zhong Yongliang hung up, Gao Xiaofu, who had been waiting nearby, asked, "Brother Liang, how did it go? Did An Liwen agree?"
"He agreed — the transplant's tomorrow, and he's paying me five hundred thousand in compensation!" Zhong Yongliang said. "You've got everything set up on your end, right?"
"It's all arranged. The surgery can be done at any time!" Gao Xiaofu cackled, then said, "Brother Liang, I've got the mad dog ready too. I bought it specially from the dog-catching team. Damn thing was a real pain to catch!"
"Hahahaha, then we'll give that An Liwen a mad dog's kidney and play him to death. Who told him to screw me over back then? To cut out my kidney?" Zhong Yongliang burst out laughing as well. "An Liwen, just you wait. The best part is still to come! Once Zhang Naipao comes down from the mountain, it'll be the end of all of you!"
"Damn right. Once Brother Pao appears on the scene, who can stand against him!" Gao Xiaofu said with longing. "Brother Liang, when do you think we should go see Naipao?"
"Once this kidney business is settled, we'll head up the mountain. We've got to see Zhang Naipao, or I won't have any peace of mind," Zhong Yongliang said. "But for now, at school, we need to keep a low profile and stay out of Wei Zhao's way!"
