Zhong Pinliang’s Tragedy

In the hospital, Zhong Pinliang’s health report came out quickly and the results made both father and son feel stupid.

The transplanted kidney in Pinliang’s body was already showing signs of rejection and some necrotic scar tissue had built up around it. There was an urgent need for it to be surgically removed immediately.

“The kidney was a bad match?” said Zhong Pinliang in disbelief at the hospital health report.

Zhong Fabai was smoking and pacing back and forth in the patient room. This was certainly the worst outcome! Although there was always a possibility of the body rejecting the transplant, there was an equally likely that the body would accept the transplant. It was all a game of chance. There was always hope for the better, but at this moment, it seemed like all luck was gone.

“Fuck, that bastard An Jianwen, damn it”, said Zhong Pinliang as he angrily threw a pillow onto the ground.

“Pinliang, don’t be so impulsive. You are now a patient, so try not to be so angry,” said Zhong Fabai who was outraged. If An Jianwen did not want to help Pinliang get a kidney, then don’t do it. Why did he have to transplant an incompatible kidney into Pinliang?

Obviously, Zhong Fabai refused to believe that An Jianwen didn’t know. According to what the doctor had said, if the kidney rejects within two days then was a clear sign of rejection. Didn’t the surgeon do pre-surgery match testing?

“Dad, what do I do now? I just got this kidney transplanted and it’s a bad match?” Zhong Pinliang was disappointed. ” I thought I would become a complete man again, but it seems like…”

“It doesn’t matter now, just listen to the doctor. Just remove this kidney or else the necrotic tissue will cause a bigger impact!” Zhong Fabai made a decision: “As for An Jianwen, we will have other opportunities to get our revenge on him!”

“But I don’t want to be a single kidney person anymore. It’s too painful!” Zhong Pinliang previously had wanted to utilize his golden class kidney to transform into a master. But now, he felt like he was once again at the lowest point!

“You can take your time looking for the kidney!” Zhong Fabai said: “Let’s just follow Master Bing and do big things to earn lots of money. When you are wealthy, you can just buy an even better kidney. But, this bad one must be removed!”

“Well, this is the only way. What other choice do I have?” Zhong Pinliang clenched his fist and declared, “An Jianwen, I swear that I will make you suffer. You have made me suffer three times!”

During the kidney transplant surgery, Pinliang had three surgical cuts.

Once the decision was made, Zhong Fabai quickly notified the hospital for a kidney removal operation on Zhong Pinliang.

As for the police, they weren’t skeptical of the situation. There were always incidents with people of criminal backgrounds trying to trick others. Zhong Pinliang was just one of those many unfortunate cases. He was able to find a kidney to use as a transplant, but it was a bad match. If he didn’t extract it out soon, he might die!

An Jianwen wasn’t faring any better. He had on a bitter face as he laid in the hospital bed. He really wanted to contact Zhong Pinliang, but was unable to do so. His own kidney was within Pinliang. It was still questionable if he could get it back.

So once An Jianwen was allowed to leave the hospital, he would use his own family connections to find a more compatible kidney for himself. How will another person’s kidney ever be better than his own kidney?

An Jianwen didn’t know that Zhong Pinliang would need the kidney removed procedure. If he knew then he would cry out loud. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

News of Tang Yun’s family buying an apartment quickly traveled throughout the shantytown. Their neighbors in the shantytown, who had a good relationship with their family all dropped by the hospital to ask if Tang Yun’s mother had any other good connections.

After the removal of shantytown residents, no one knew what would happen afterward, so they had a desire to move into the same building.

“What? There was a twenty-five hundred thousand discount? And you had free appliances?” Lan Fen’s mother eyes widen. She couldn’t believe her ears.

“That is right, our Lil’ Yi knows the CEO of the real estate company. The manager on duty had to follow the CEO’s wishes. Did you think I would be that lucky to have gotten a hefty discount and still get raffle opportunities?” Although Mrs. Tang didn’t explain it clearly, it was quite obvious with all the hints!

People thought she was oblivious, but she was quite clever. She knew exactly what was going on behind the scenes. She picked out the appliances, but the special prize was definitely a setup. She could tell that the manager had to bend to Fatty Lai’s wishes, so that would make Fatty Lai the person in charge!

Fatty Lai treated Lin Yi with respect, like the attitude a follower would have for his boss. Mrs. Tang definitely noticed that aspect. In addition, Fatty Lai insisted on treating them for dinner, even when they were the ones who had reaped the benefits from Fatty Lai. How was that logical?

Mrs. Tang kept her mouth shut until she returned to the hospital room. That was when she started gossiping with her neighborhood friends.

“Mrs. Tang, you really found a good son-in-law!” Lan Fen’s mother continued to show her envy.

“Your Lan Fen isn’t that bad either!” Mrs. Tang also agreed that Tang Yun had found a good man. Lan Fen was a broken flower, and she was disabled, so being able to find a decent boyfriend was considered very lucky!

Lan Fen’s mother thought about it for a while. If she considered all the facts regarding her own daughter, then she realized she couldn’t compare her with Tang Yun. So being able to find a man like Kang Xiaobo, was worth eight lives of good luck.

“Kangbo and Lin Yi have a good relationship too. Your household should be able to buy a specially priced apartment too!” Mrs. Tang continued “no matter what, the most important part is the discounted price. Without money, even if you have a sweet deal for the house, it would be useless right?”

“That is right, I wonder when Qibing Real Estates will come to discuss compensation?” Lan Fen’s mother shook her head and sighed. “I don’t have the luck your household has. You got three million in a blink of an eye!”

“Ah, it was for exchange with by Mr. Tang’s leg?” Mrs. Tang expression was cheery, without any hint of sadness as she spoke about the injury! She knew that the injury was just an excuse to get the money. In actuality, it was another issue entirely!

Lin Yi had to help Li Cihua’s relative for that money. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get the money!

“My Lan Fen also has a bad foot, so where’s my money?” Lan Fen’s mother sighed.

“Then you have to rely on tactics, perhaps get that Kang Zhaoming to pay up some money?” Mrs. Tang suggested.

“That’s impossible? Why would he pay compensation money?” Lan Fen’s mother shook her head.

They continued talking when it got interrupted by Mrs. Tang’s phone ringing.

“Sorry, let me take this call first.” Mrs. Tang saw that the phone number was from an unknown caller! Mrs. Tang doesn’t get a lot of calls to people other than her own family.

“Hello? You are?” Mrs. Tang answered the call.

“Hello, is this Miss Wang Yujie? ” Su Jiaonang tried her best to sound sincere through the call.

“I am, who are you?” Mrs. Tang was stunned, she had no idea who the caller was.

“Hello, Miss Wong. I am from Qibing Real Estates Development Company, I am the demolition team’s project manager, Su Jiaonang.” Su Jiaonang continued to politely explain.

“Su Jiaonang? Qibing Real Estates Demolition’s project manager?” Mrs. Tang repeated the contents again. She was suspicious of this unknown caller “What do you need me for?”
