âJiang Chu, your childâs condition is worse than expected⦠where on earth did you get the bone marrow?â
His colleague frowned, looking at Doctor Jiang with a dark expression on his face.
Jiang Chu asked him promptly, âWhatâs wrong?â
He sighed. âJiang Chu, this kind of rejection will only happen due to a mismatch. Furthermore, itâs almost always fatal⦠I donât know where your child received this operation but was there something wrong? Normally, this fault should not occur! This might as well be murder!â
âHow could this beâ¦â
Jiang Chu gazed blankly for a second, then frantically rushed out of his colleagueâs office. With his head lowered, he dashed about madly.
âJiang Chu, what are you doing?â
He had knocked into someone⦠it was the director! He was also Jiang Chuâs respected teacher.
âTeacher⦠Iâ¦â Jiang Chu was too frantic to form a coherent sentence.
The director sighed, âI heard about your kidâs situation and I am very sorry for that. Since you are not in the best frame of mind, Iâve arranged for another doctor to take your place to perform todayâs operation. Go back and accompany your family today. Iâm also contacting some foreign hospitals, hopefully they can find some method toâ¦â
Jiang Chu shook his head, âDirector, I want to be alone.â
The director nodded, then left with sigh. He felt it was a pity. This was actually a good opportunity for him to get promoted, yet misfortune happened and the patient had heard about it. Of course they would be unwilling to allow him to perform the operation. What if he got distracted during the operation? Every minor mistake would be fatal.
Jiang Chu walked alone through the corridor like a zombie. Those girls that he passed in haste seemed to be muttering something about him.
Were the looks of his colleagues filled with compassion? Or with taunts?
Jiang Chu arrived at his previous patientâs sickroom. He found another doctor checking her situation and setting the patientâs mind at ease. He did not blame the director for replacing him. Letâs not say if he was able to hold the scalpel to perform the operation, even now, in such a situation, he wouldnât be able to maintain his calm.
Rather, to give up on the operation was like a kind of release⦠because he would not be facing the girlâs wistful eyes again.
Jiang Chu came to the rooftop alone, his trembling hands fished out his cellphone. Then he dialed a number after a long moment of hesitation.
âIs that Mr. Sun?â
From the other side, one could hear the static and a modified voice. âDoctor Jiang, I was just about to call you.â
But Jiang Chu voiced deepen. âSet other things aside, Mr. Sun. Answer my question first! Was the bone marrow you provide my son suitable or not?â
Mr. Sun ignored his question and continue, âBlack Cat has been arrested. Local authorities will soon reach you. I have already made the necessary plans. You have to leave now.â
âWhat?!â Jiang Chuâs face changed. He shivered abruptly for a moment. âNo! I canât leave⦠I canât leave my son alone!â
Mr. Sun said coolly, âYouâre young, and can easily have another baby. But if you donât leave, it would be terrible for us. Black Cat is only a contact and does not knows a lot⦠but you should realize how much you know. We wonât allow you to be captured by the authorities. You should know what I mean.â
However, Jiang Chu roared crazily, âTell me! Was the marrow suitable for my son?!â
âSomeone will pick you up in an hour, you can choose to leave or remain behind forever. Remember, we donât lack doctors.â
Beep---!!
Half an hourâ¦
Jiang Chuâs hand slipped, the phone fell down to the ground and he collapsed, sitting on the ground weakly. Mr. Sun was infinitely resourceful and always punctual, never late or early.
He dashed down from the rooftop after making a tough decision.
The iron door closed, giving off a sound on the rooftop. At the same time, the sound of high-heels coming into contact with the cement floor echoed as well.
âMaster, there is almost no way out for Jiang Chu right? Do you think he will remain or leave?â
Luo Qiu thought for a while, âDepends on how much he cares for his son.â
You Ye nodded, and said soon, âI may know the reason why master wants to come to the hospital.â
Luo Qiu asked curiously, âWhy?â
You Ye smiled, âA hospital is a place where both hope and despair exist. It is also a location where life and death gather. No matter patients or their relatives, both would feel helpless here. Thus itâs a suitable place to search for potential customers. You Ye has decided to have the black soul envoys pay more attention to hospitals in the future.â
[Wait⦠there must be some misunderstanding. I just wanted to go out for a walk and check Jiang Chuâs situationâ¦]
But he didnât plan to correct You Yeâs thoughts; instead, he mumbled, âAn hour, it should be time for him to make the decision.â
â¦
â¦
âOne hour⦠one hourâ¦â
He knew how horrifying Mr. Sun could be. Only an hour remained⦠no, it might be 59 or 58 minutes!
Jiang Chu hurried down through the stairs.
A group of medical staff was pushing a sickbed past him.
It was the girl that he was supposed to do the operation on⦠The little girl didnât know much about the world, she just smiled when she saw the doctor that she met before.
The smile touched the heart of the hurrying Jiang Chu. He suddenly slowed down, holding the wall, feeling like he would collapse instantly.
Without realizing it, Jiang Chu came to another sickroom.
His worn out ex-wife leaned on his sonâs sickbed, sleeping while grabbing his hand. Jiang Chu didnât dare to make sound. He walked to the sickbed, looking at his son with mixed emotions.
He should have had a satisfactory life.
Yesâ¦should have... if the marrow was compatible!
Jiang Chu stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his sonâs face but took it back abruptly.
He gritted his teeth and walked out of the sickroom to the park outside the hospital building. Then sat on the stone bench, in a daze.
â¦
An hour later.
Jiang Chu still sat there, until an average-looking man dressed in a black suit approached him.
âDoctor Jiang, Mr. Sun asked me to pick you up. Letâs go.â
Jiang Chu raised his head gradually, gazing at this man. Suddenly, he patted the long bench. âDonât be impatient, take a seat. I have some questions to ask you.â
That man frowned, saying stonily, âDoctor Jiang, please donât give any trouble. Please just follow me.â
Watching his hand reached into pocket, Jiang Chu sneered. âWhy? Iâve done a lot for Mr. Sun. Isnât that enough to exchange for several minutes?â
But the man solemnly fished out a folded knife.
âMr. Sun has stated, if Doctor Jiang isnât obedient, he is no longer necessary in this world.â
That man intended to kill him right then but at this time, a thunderous voice stopped him in his tracks.
7 people rushed out from all directions, the head was Officer Ma, âPut down your weapon! Youâre surrounded!â
The manâs cold eyes moved to Jiang Chuâs face.
Jiang Chuâs lips trembled slightly and said emotionally, âYou gave me the false marrow first⦠An eye for an eye! Iâve called the police and have revealed everything! Hahaha, Iâm on the spot; anyhow, I canât leave⦠so letâs perish together!â
That man snorted--- and aimed a stab towards Jiang Chuâs neck!
BOOM---!!!
A gunshot rang out at the same time. A bullet hole appeared in his wrist, and the knife fell to the ground.
âF*ck! Iâve said before, Iâm the NO.1 in the office! Catch him!! F*ck!! Idiots!! Stop him! Donât let him escape!!â
The testy Officer Ma stamped the ground in rage.
âOfficer! Our people have surrounded the area. Heâs injured and canât run away at all! What about this guy?â
Two fly cops brought Jiang Chu to Officer Ma.
Officer Ma said, âHe is an important witness, take him back! Keep your eyes on him⦠also gag and tie him up! F*ck!â
âOfficer⦠Can I have a look at my son before I leave? Pleaseâ¦â Jiang Chu suddenly begged.
Officer Ma sneered, âWhat? Youâve found your humanity now and remembered your son? Then how about when you were helping these trashes harvest organs to sell? Where was your conscience then?â
Jiang Chuâs face turned pale, kneeling on the ground, and begged, âPlease⦠let me have one last look at my son. He, he canât last much longer!â
