The Cannon Fodder Who Received Donated Hearts, Part 4 - First Update, Mwah!

He Zhiqiang contacted Li Sanbao, who ostensibly ran a medical device business but secretly engaged in human organ smuggling, through a former business partner.

Li Sanbao's elder brother is Li Cheng, a notorious figure in Southeast Asia. After committing a crime in China, Li Cheng smuggled himself to Southeast Asia to seek refuge with his cousin, Li Jiang.

In the 1990s, Li Jiang went to Southeast Asia to seek his fortune. He ran a massage parlor and worked as a cook. Later, he made a profit of over a billion yuan through illegal gambling and illegal financing.

He then established an industrial park in Southeast Asia, ostensibly appearing as a philanthropic entrepreneur praised by everyone.

Secretly, they had recruited many thugs to engage in the trafficking of human bodies and organs.

Perhaps because he had committed many evil deeds, he married more than a dozen wives but had no children, so he began to groom his cousin Li Cheng as his successor.

After Li Cheng established himself in Southeast Asia, his two younger brothers, Li Shuanglin and Li Sanbao, became his henchmen in China.

Li Shuanglin and Li Sanbao had Li Cheng as their elder brother and Li Jiang, a "philanthropist," to build connections in Hunan Province.

While they might not be considered completely unscrupulous, with protection in place, they dared to do all sorts of bad things.

He Zhiqiang met Li Sanbao at a luxurious teahouse.

Li Sanbao was in his early forties, dressed in a smart suit, his Rolex gleaming on his wrist. If He Zhiqiang hadn't known what Li Sanbao did beforehand from a friend, he probably would have mistaken him for a respectable businessman.

Li Sanbao smiled and handed over his business card: "Hello, Mr. He. Old Wang told you about my situation. I also have children, so I completely empathize with how you feel right now."

He Zhiqiang didn't bother with formalities and directly stated his request: "Mr. He, since you know my situation, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. My daughter needs a heart transplant, the sooner the better, money is not a problem."

Li Sanbao slowly sipped his tea: "Mr. He, you can't expect a star to eat hot tofu. Sit down and talk slowly, have some tea!"

He Zhiqiang suppressed his anxiety and sat down opposite Li Sanbao. Li Sanbao finished his tea and slowly asked, "Mr. He, do you know how much a matching heart costs on the black market right now?"

He Zhiqiang quickly said, "Money is no problem. As long as you can save my daughter, Mr. Li, just name your price!"

"At least 1.5 million, and it also depends on blood type and HLA matching. Did you bring your daughter's test results?"

He Zhiqiang quickly took out Tian Tian's medical record from his bag and respectfully handed it to Li Sanbao. After receiving the medical record, Li Sanbao tossed it to a bespectacled, refined-looking man behind him.

The man's eyes lit up after looking through the medical record: "Type O blood, HLA-DR locus matching requirements are not high, Third Brother, this shouldn't be difficult."

"Really?" He Zhiqiang jumped up excitedly.

Li Sanbao chuckled: "Our company has connections in several major hospitals, so we can get inside information first. But if Mr. He needs it urgently, then you'll have to pay a deposit first."

He Zhiqiang immediately asked, "How much deposit do you need?"

"Three hundred thousand, cash. Full payment upon successful matching."

Li Sanbao gave He Zhiqiang a sinister look: "Mr. He, you must have heard of my name in the underworld. You must not tell anyone about this, otherwise... once you leave this door, I will not admit to anything."

Without saying a word, He Zhiqiang withdrew 300,000 yuan in cash the next day and delivered it to the location designated by Li Sanbao.

Now that the company's cash flow has dried up and it's on the verge of bankruptcy, he can't care about anything else. He's willing to do anything to save his daughter.

The days of waiting were exceptionally long. He Zhiqiang shuttled between the hospital and the company every day, and as he watched He Tiantian grow weaker day by day, his heart felt like it was being fried in oil.

He had considered getting a bone marrow transplant to match his daughter, but he immediately dismissed the idea. If he died, who would take care of Tian Tian? He had to live, to live well.

Late one week later, Li Sanbao finally called: "Found him, a 22-year-old male, blood type O, with a match rate of over 85%! Three days later, bring 1.2 million yuan in cash, see you at the usual place."

After hanging up the phone, He Zhiqiang slumped onto the sofa, his shirt soaked with cold sweat.

He certainly knew that a healthy young man would not voluntarily donate his heart.

To obtain the heart, he had to participate in a murder. Hiring a hitman was a serious crime, but his daughter's pale face flashed before his eyes. He gritted his teeth, got up, and went to the bank to withdraw money.

After Li Sanbao hung up the phone, he arranged for them to bring the donor back.

The system quickly called Chen Xia: "Xiaxia, that scoundrel Li Sanbao has sent people to kidnap Song Jingwen."

Chen Xia calmly replied, "Understood. Film their crimes; this is evidence against Li Sanbao's criminal gang."

Ultimately, Song Jingwen's decision to apply for organ donation is related to Liu Dandan.

Liu Dandan not only persuaded her roommates, but also other acquaintances, including Song Jingwen's high school classmates.

Previously, Song Jingwen had extremely poor interpersonal relationships in his class and even the school because he was being kept by a rich woman. In order to salvage his image, he was very active in various school activities and subtly played the victim, which improved his interpersonal relationships somewhat.

When Liu Dandan's high school classmate posted a proposal in the group chat advocating for the declaration of body donation, he was the first to respond, speaking in a grand and righteous manner.

As the male protagonist of the novel, Song Jingwen still has some "luck" with his son, which may be related to the unlucky charm Chen Xia gave him.

Anyway, whatever the reason, he and He Tiantian were a match.

As if a pillow had just fallen asleep, Li Sanbao discovered after having someone investigate him that he was very suitable to be a donor.

Both parents have passed away, and I have almost no contact with relatives and friends. My only worry is that if I disappear for an extended period of time, my classmates and the school will report me to the police.

But if he went missing during summer vacation, by the time the police are notified two months later, they will have already cleaned up the mess and left no hidden dangers.

After summer vacation started, Song Jingwen, as in previous years, rented a single room and found a summer job to earn living expenses.

That day, as usual, he took a shortcut through a dark alley.

The alley was dark, but Song Jingwen wasn't afraid. He was a young man with no money in his pocket, so he wasn't afraid of being robbed, let alone sexually assaulted.

But he never expected that someone would target strong young men like him, stealing their kidneys, hearts, and livers, instead of robbing them of their money or sexually assaulting them.

Song Jingwen, who was wearing headphones and humming a song, was completely unaware that two dark figures were following behind him.

As he was walking, he was struck hard on the back of the head, and his vision went black as he collapsed. The two shadowy figures quickly dragged him into a van without cameras and disappeared into the night.

Three days later, He Zhiqiang arrived at the agreed location early, carrying a briefcase full of cash.

After waiting for two hours, Li Sanbao finally arrived late with several burly men.

"Mr. Li, where's the heart?" He Zhiqiang asked anxiously.

Li Sanbao looked troubled: "Mr. He, I'm sorry, there was a slight mishap. That heart was snatched up by another buyer at a higher price. How about you wait a few more days?"

"What?!" He Zhiqiang was struck dumb. "Mr. Li, isn't this unfair of you? We agreed on this beforehand, my daughter can't wait any longer!"

"Don't get excited!" Li Sanbao said with a forced smile. "The other buyer is a foreign tycoon who offered three million US dollars. If you can offer more, I can give the heart to your daughter first."

After all, as you know, heart donors are always in high demand and short supply; it's all about who pays the highest price!

He Zhiqiang's vision blurred: "You're taking advantage of my misfortune, Li Sanbao. You can't be so untrustworthy. If word gets out, will you still be able to stay in the underworld?"

Li Sanbao's face darkened: "He Zhiqiang, what do you think this is? You think you can haggle over prices at the market? And you're threatening me?"

He gave a wink, and two burly men grabbed He Zhiqiang from either side.

"What are you trying to do?" He Zhiqiang struggled, and the briefcase fell to the ground.

Li Sanbao picked up the box, checked the cash inside, and nodded with satisfaction: "He Zhiqiang, I was going to let you live, but you asked for it."

We happen to be short of "blood banks" in Southeast Asia. With your physique, you can last at least six months. Take you with you!

Before He Zhiqiang could react, a towel soaked in medicine was covered over his mouth and nose.

In his last moments before losing consciousness, the image that flashed through his mind was of Tian Tian lying in the hospital bed, waiting...

Three days later, He Tiantian's attending physician discovered that he could no longer contact He Zhiqiang.

The hospital called every number on He Tiantian's phone, but the calls were either rejected or met with excuses.

Just then, the organ transplant center called to say that He Tiantian was a match and that further high-resolution testing and physical examinations needed to be arranged. Unfortunately, they were unable to contact her family, so the subsequent examinations could not be carried out.

Meanwhile, after receiving an anonymous tip and various pieces of evidence from a member of the public, the police began a thorough investigation into the medical device company owned by the brothers Li Shuanglin and Li Sanbao.

He Tiantian's condition worsened day by day, but they were still unable to contact her family. No one dared to sign the consent form on behalf of He Zhiqiang for a heart transplant, a procedure that was extremely risky and expensive.

The organ center eventually used the suitable heart on someone else.

He Tiantian lay quietly in the intensive care unit, waiting hopefully for her father to bring her heart to perform surgery.

After waiting for several days, not only was there no news of the heart He Zhiqiang had promised, but he had also disappeared without a trace.

He Tiantian's first thought was that something had happened to her father, but she was too weak to speak, so she was unable to call the police to find He Zhiqiang.

The doctors and nurses instinctively felt that He Zhiqiang had given up because he thought the hope was slim and had gone into hiding.

After all, they'd seen this kind of thing many times before. Someone like He Tiantian, who could be raised to eighteen, really had to be bought with money. After failing to contact her for several days, they called the police.

After receiving the report, the police opened a case for investigation and discovered his private transactions with Li Sanbao. They then combined his case with the ongoing investigation into Li Sanbao's gang's smuggling and trafficking of human organs.

On her deathbed, He Tiantian's mind flashed back to memories of her past life, like a movie playing in her head.

She saw her past self crying and wanting to harm herself, saying that she didn't care about the heart that others gave her, and she didn't care that Song Jingwen fell in love with her because of that heart.

Just as she finished crying, a soft sigh suddenly came from the sky: "As you wish!"

Then the heart that had been transplanted into her body suddenly burst out and floated away.

He Tiantian felt a chill run down her spine and quickly shouted at her wandering heart, "I love it, I love it, please save me, I don't want to die."

Unfortunately, the heart vanished in an instant. He Tiantian rushed forward, both anxious and angry, to strike her past self, only to find herself plummeting straight into the abyss...

The monitor in the emergency room emitted a piercing scream, then went flat.

Doctors and nurses rushed in and tried to resuscitate the patient for over an hour, but ultimately pronounced him dead.

After obtaining the facts and evidence of the crimes committed by Li Shuanglin and Li Sanbao's group, the public security authorities immediately arrested Li Sanbao and his henchmen.

They used the escaped Li Shuanglin to lure out Li Cheng and others behind him, and finally uprooted Li Jiang's criminal gang, rescuing a large number of victims who had been trafficked by them. However, He Zhiqiang and Song Jingwen were not among those rescued.

Song Jingwen's experience was the same as the original owner's in his previous life: his heart, liver, kidneys, and corneas were transplanted into different people.

After being sold to Southeast Asia, He Zhiqiang kept thinking about how to escape. After a blood test, he took advantage of the guards' inattention, tore the bed sheet into pieces, tied it into a long rope, escaped from the industrial park, and hid in the deep mountains and forests.

When he was found, he had become a mutilated skeleton.
