Chapter 299: Wind And Rain Approaching
Not really.
“Liang Chaosu doesn’t believe you and Feng Shien are getting involved?”
Liancheng lowered her eyes, “My developing a relationship with Feng Shien has nothing to do with whether he believes it.”
“Is that Aunt Lin?” Bai Ying guessed, “Aunt Lin must be very happy. She wants you to find someone new and forget the old one the most.”
However, if that were the case, Liang Chaosu’s life would seem too cheap.
“I like him.”
Bai Ying’s mouth fell open.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside. The VIP lounge service staff seemed to have received some notification and rushed out, abandoning their posts.
Liancheng feared it was related to Lin Xianzi. She looked up and happened to see a stretcher flash past the doorway. More than a dozen airport medical personnel rushed behind it, with security in black uniforms flanking them and clearing a path through the crowd.
It was quite a display of strength.
Bai Ying, with her sharp eyes, saw Xiao Da in the crowd. His face was full of panic, his hair standing on end as he ran, utterly beside himself.
She subconsciously stood up, then realized and lowered her head. Liancheng’s face was devoid of color.
She had seen it too.
Bai Ying, “He’s a naturally honest person, so scared like this, is Liang Chaosu on the stretcher?”
“I don’t know.”
Liancheng was in a mess, with Liang Chaosu’s face in her mind one moment, and his burning body temperature the next.
When he left, his chest had not risen for a long time, and he stood there watching her.
The ceiling light.
His eyes.
White and black.
Extremely bright and extremely dark.
He was cold yet hot, bloody yet pure, a contradictory sense of detachment, which she had left in a discarded compartment.
A few service staff members retreated, and those waiting in the VIP lounge, not knowing what was happening, asked, “What’s going on outside? So many people are being deployed?”
“A VIP… suddenly fainted.” The service staff member was vague, clearly having scruples and not daring to reveal too much, “We’ve already contacted the hospital for transport. Everyone can rest assured, it won’t delay your flight.”
Bai Ying sat down, her legs pressed together nervously, “Liancheng, you slapped him, and then you punched him?”
Liancheng shook her head.
“That’s good then. It hasn’t been long since the gunshot wound, it’s already amazing he can get out of bed. His wound surely hasn’t healed yet, let alone his internal organs.”
“I didn’t slap him.”
“Ah? Then you hurt him—”
Liancheng pursed her lips, “His self-respect, his feelings, his character. I mocked him for playing the victim, belittled him as worthless and without any radiance, inferior to Feng Shien. I refused to acknowledge him as my brother, instead treating him like a rapist.”
Bai Ying was horrified.
“Don’t feel guilty. You did the right thing.”
Lin Xianzi appeared from the side at some point, with a smile that held no warmth.
Liancheng quickly got up, “Mom.” She was flustered, “You heard everything.”
“Don’t be afraid, Mom doesn’t blame you,” Lin Xianzi comforted her, “What you’re doing now is exactly what he did before. Killing with a heart-piercing blow, his retribution is fitting.”
Liancheng was silent. After a second, she asked the manager, “Did EMA stop you because they didn’t want you to leave?”
The Far East Pharmaceutical issue was still in a stalemate. Lin Xianzi had paid a huge deposit for limited freedom within Europe. Returning to Singapore required multiple applications. She had been approved now, but she feared Mo Shifu would interfere at some stage and delay her return.
“No.” Lin Xianzi’s eyes gleamed with joy, “Your uncle has verified half of Jin Tonghai’s evidence, and the investigation team is preparing to fly to Singapore with us.”
A heavy stone lifted from Liancheng’s heart, but her chest was still constricted. Small pebbles, frozen and ice-cold, pricked her flesh densely.
She didn’t feel pain, but that slight, hazy discomfort coalesced into a single sensation, making her restless.
Liang Chaosu’s early acknowledgment would have been advantageous to Lin Xianzi, but his overseas capital was not involved in Europe. Did he learn this news in advance, or did he instigate it himself?
She felt like she was drowning again; her mindset had changed, and she was lost.
The morality she upheld supported her and also interrogated her. Good versus evil, grace versus vengeance. Liang Chaosu’s visible repentance, her momentary clarity, then her momentary guilt. She appeared decisive but was actually consumed by internal conflict.
Not at all carefree, not at all forthright.
Fortunately, Liang Chaosu knew how to strip away her emotions, and she knew him just as well. His status, ability, power, fame, had cultivated his unique spirit, but also shaped his aloof pride.
She had been trampled and insulted, and still harbored hatred. Liang Chaosu had risked his life, and she treated him like trash. Did he not hate her?
So vicious and callous, wasn’t he disheartened and chilled?
This time, it’s the last time.
…………………………………………………………………………
Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate, with hot and humid summers. Thirty degrees feels like forty.
Mo Shifu’s private doctor had just flown back from Budapest, his whereabouts concealed. He arrived at Mo Shifu’s bedroom fully armored, his clothes, mask, and hat soaked.
The smell of sweat was overpowering.
Mo Shifu’s expression was unperturbed, as if his sense of smell was impaired. He urgently asked, “Is your information accurate?”
The private doctor bowed, “I wouldn’t dare deceive you, sir. I happened to be at the airport when Liang Chaosu had his accident. He helped Lin Xianzi by facilitating the delays from the EU group and came to Singapore to verify. Her daughter then turned to Feng Shien, denigrating and mocking him. The situation between them is bound to collapse.”
Their chances of winning had just increased.
Mo Shifu half-reclined on the bed, “That protest leader named Heide, did you manage to sway him?”
The private doctor straightened his back, his face beaming with joy.
“The reason I risked coming back to see you this time is to report on this. Heide’s wife, Jennifer, has the same condition as Lin Xianzi’s daughter. His kidneys can also match both of them simultaneously, and even his match with Jennifer is not as good as with Lin Xianzi’s daughter.”
Mo Shifu was taken aback, “This is too coincidental.”
“Who would have thought,” the private doctor chuckled, “Heide has three children, the youngest is only one year old. The pressure to survive means he cannot lose his ability to work, so he donated a kidney to his wife. You asked me to sway him, to use his deep affection persona after the donation to escalate the protests, which would affect Lin Xianzi but not fatally. You would then act later.”
“It’s different now. Lin Xianzi is desperately searching for a kidney source for her daughter. As soon as Heide’s data is uploaded and the match is so high, she’ll be tempted. If we guide it slightly and conceal Jennifer’s condition—”
“No.” Mo Shifu interrupted, “That’s too crude. Too many people are involved, and there are too many loopholes in the process.”
The private doctor was indignant, “But this opportunity is heaven-sent. If used well, Lin Xianzi would be accused of using her power to seize a kidney, and it would be a tragedy caused by Far East Pharmaceutical. She’d be finished. Then we can further connect it to the Jin Tonghai murder case. Her being so ruthless and inhumane, murdering someone to cover it up and take the blame, would be a natural progression.”
“You also said it needs to be used well.” Mo Shifu pondered for half a minute, “Heide and his wife will have their kidney donation matched according to the European procedures. Didn’t Liang Chaosu also facilitate a kidney match for Liancheng before? I recall you reported that Lin Xianzi went to see him overnight.”
The private doctor nodded.
“She disgusted Liang Chaosu, but she took the benefits without hesitation.” Mo Shifu smoothed the bedding, “Well, Liang Chaosu is in a coma now, and Liang Zhengping is also restraining him, so he lacks energy.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, “Have Jennifer confirm the surgery time as soon as possible. Before the surgery, find someone to create virtual data for a deceased person who has signed an organ donation agreement, and upload it to the database on Jennifer’s surgery day.”
“Guide the person in charge of kidney transplants to notify Lin Xianzi that kidney preservation is difficult and the opportunity is fleeting, leaving Lin Xianzi no time to investigate thoroughly. By the time Liancheng undergoes surgery using Heide’s kidney, Jennifer will still announce a successful surgery. Afterward, her condition will rapidly deteriorate, and Heide will discover the kidney transplant was a fabrication. Then, everything will be thrown into chaos.”
