Chapter 62 Kidney for Kidney
Du Zhanrong had actually been waiting for Song Li's call, but time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no movement on the phone! She couldn't be such a selfish person...
Song Li once again felt despair. She leaned against the glass window of the ICU ward, looking at her brother lying inside with tubes inserted... I'm sorry, Xiaoshan, it's my sister who is sorry for you! He is only 23 years old, his youth has just begun, and he still has a bright future waiting for him!
But she couldn't agree to let Du Zhanrong leave He Qian, and He Qian wouldn't let her go so easily, as this would only bring more endless disasters than what he was experiencing now!
Just when she was at a loss, she received a text message from the contact person in the black market trading place, suggesting that there was news about the kidney source!
This was undoubtedly timely help! Song Li quickly called, and after some negotiation, the other party learned of her urgent need and made a huge demand, insisting on half a million!
How could Song Li have so much money! Why is it always like this! He gave her hope, and then sent her to hell the next second!
"Ms. Song, you need to hurry. If you hesitate any longer, the kidney will go to the next stop. Many people are eagerly waiting! And once a kidney leaves the donor, it can only be preserved for 20 hours at most. I'm telling you first for your sake!"
"Five hundred thousand... Can I write you an IOU first? I will definitely pay you back!"
"That won't do! Your price is already the lowest. Selling a life on credit is ridiculous! The next customer is waiting for 800,000! Look how righteous I am, I'm saving all the good things for you first!"
Song Li's scalp tingled. "But I really can't come up with that much money! Can you let me owe you for a few days? Three days! Just three days, okay? Give me the kidney first, so my brother can have the surgery first?"
"You're putting me in a difficult position! Everyone knows that you're a big shot around He Qian. Five hundred thousand is nothing! Miss Song, don't be so modest!"
"Two days! Give me two days!"
The other party on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, "How about this? This isn't the first time we've encountered a situation like yours! Usually, we recommend a kidney-for-kidney swap!"
"Kidney for kidney?"
"Since your kidney isn't compatible with your brother's, there must be someone who can use it! Give me yours, and I'll swap it with the one that's a successful match for your brother's! Miss Song, this is a rare opportunity!"
Everything that happened in the past few days was so sudden that Song Li couldn't figure out what he said for a while.
"Miss Song, why are you still hesitating? When you did the matching test at the hospital before, didn't you also think about donating your own kidney to your brother? Now it's just a different method!"
Song Li was awakened by this. Yes, she did the matching as soon as possible, wasn't it because she was always ready to give her kidney to her brother!
"Yes! I promise! When?"
"That depends on your time! How long can your brother wait? Let me make it clear first, the surgery fee will be charged separately, one hundred thousand!" The other party became more and more demanding.
"Didn't you say it was a kidney-for-kidney deal? Why are you charging money?"
"Please understand our difficulties! Harvesting a kidney from a living person is incredibly risky, isn't it? I must fully guarantee both of our safety no matter what!"
"I don't have that much money!" Song Li squatted on the ground, buried his face in his chest, and roared softly.
After some nagging, the other party reluctantly agreed, "Then it's fifty thousand. It can't be any lower. If you give in any more, I can't help you! It has to be cash! We can discuss it in detail when we meet!"
"How am I going to get to you? I have time now!"
"Go to the underground parking lot in half an hour, someone will pick you up! I'm worried about you coming alone. What if someone follows you and my lair is destroyed?" The other party was meticulous and cunning.
…
He Qian kept waking up and falling asleep. When he regained consciousness this time, it was already night. Did he sleep for the whole day?
I stood up with difficulty and saw only a nurse standing by in the dim ward.
"Mr. He, are you awake?"
The door was then opened, and Ye Feng and Wang Hao came in upon hearing the voice, "Mr. He!"
"How long have I slept?"
"You met Song Li at nine in the morning. After you fainted from exhaustion, you have been sleeping until now. It's almost nine o'clock."
He Qian held his forehead with his hand. He actually slept for twelve hours!
"Mr. He..." Wang Hao stammered, "Ms. Song, I lost her!"
He Qian's eyes turned cold, "Lost him?"
"Around eleven o'clock this morning, she arrived at the underground garage and was picked up by a van! Our people followed her, but they couldn't catch up after just two blocks!"
"What about now?" He Qian took the mobile phone from the bedside. What happened in the morning is now late at night!
"Our people are still looking outside!"
"So there's still no news?" He Qian threw back the quilt and was about to get out of bed, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Ye Feng and Wang Hao lowered their heads and dared not answer, standing there like wooden sticks. The boss looked so scary!
"Have you told my second uncle?" He Qian turned on his cell phone and dialed Song Li's number, his fingers shaking.
"I told you, Second Master has already asked Chen An to go find some people! They're in the north, and ours are in the south!"
Fortunately, He Shuxing still had a clear mind and would not really ignore Song Li's life or death! He Qian called Song Li twice in a row, but both times the phone was turned off!
Then he called He Shuxing: "Is there any news from Chen An?"
He Shuxing replied, "Who did Song Li offend? Last time you said someone was investigating her, but we still had no idea who it was! This time, she disappeared right under your noses! But I can assure you that the people who took Song Li away this time were not the ones investigating her!"
"How long will it take to find out?" He Qian got out of bed and stood there, having to support himself with a chair to keep his balance.
"Just lie still. If anything happens to you, I won't care!"
"How can I not be anxious!" He Qian shouted!
"How dare you yell at me! Song Li's brother smashed your head and you didn't even scold her! You even went around looking for a kidney donor for him and told them not to tell me! You are such a heartless brat!" He Shuxing was so angry that he felt helpless. If he didn't love his nephew from the bottom of his heart and knew that Song Li was the apple of his eye, he wouldn't bother to care!
He Qian hung up the phone and sat down on the chair. If it weren't for those people who were secretly investigating Song Li, Song Li being taken away would have been too sudden!
Ye Feng then reported to him what had happened after he fell into a coma. "This morning, there was a 15-year-old orphan who was brain-dead in a car accident. He had signed an organ donation agreement before his death. His kidney met the requirements for Song Nanshan's transplant. The hospital quickly contacted Miss Song, and Miss Song also reached a consensus with the director of the welfare home. But then... President Du intervened!"
"Du Zhanrong?" He Qian swallowed hard. Why was he here to cause trouble again?
"Yes, President Du refused to allow the director of the orphanage to sign. She is the guardian, and without her signature, there will be no kidney donor. President Du threatened the director of the orphanage that she must cremate the body immediately, otherwise the orphanage will cut off donations!"
"Cremated?" He Qian was so angry that veins popped out beside his temples!
"Yes..." Ye Feng barely dared to breathe, "There's a group of people on Mr. Du's side looking for Miss Song!"
In other words, the three parties searched for a whole day but couldn't find Song Li!
"Why didn't you wake me up!" He Qian punched the edge of the bed. If he had been there, Song Nanshan wouldn't have missed his chance to survive! How miserable would Song Li be, to see his hopes ignited and then extinguished abruptly!
But then he thought, wasn't it he who caused Du Zhanrong to refuse to donate a kidney to Song Nanshan? It was he who personally arranged it and made Du Zhanrong hate Song Li!
"Then, Miss Song made a phone call while visiting Song Nanshan in the ICU. We were far away, so our staff didn't hear clearly what she said, but she seemed quite emotional. Half an hour later, she went to the underground garage, where a car was waiting for her!"
"What car? Have you checked it?"
"I checked, it's a scrap car, I can't trace it!"
He Qian glanced at the two of them and was really angry at this moment: "It's been so long! There are so many of you, and you can't even find a car! What happened this morning, and you're only telling me now!"
"Second Master, you don't allow us to call you..."
"Who are you listening to?" He Qian stood up. He knew that taking it down would not help. "Give me clothes!"
"Mr. He!" Ye Feng stepped forward to stop him, "You can't be discharged from the hospital yet!"
How could He Qian listen to him? He grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger and walked towards the door!
Ye Feng and Wang Hao didn't dare to stop him, they could only support him from the left and right.
It was not until after eleven o'clock in the evening, after He Qian had been struggling for two hours and was obviously out of breath, that he finally received good news from He Shuxing!
Song Li was found in a black clinic in the north!
But the bad news is that she was there voluntarily because she wanted to get the kidney that was suitable for transplantation to Song Nanshan, so she volunteered to exchange one of her kidneys.
He Qian's heart was broken! He had done everything in his power to prevent her from being a successful match, just because he didn't want her to lose her kidney! Now he was told that Song Li had gone through so much trouble to find a black clinic and used a kidney-for-kidney exchange method to give Song Nanshan a kidney!
