Chapter 559 — You'd Better Remember This
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Seeing his father arrive, Zhong Yongliang burst into loud wailing. To have a kidney cut out for no reason at all was a calamity fallen from a clear sky. He knew well that once a kidney was removed, a person's health would suffer, and it was uncertain whether he could even be a normal man in the future. He felt utterly wronged! Most importantly, he did not even know who had done it!
"Dad, you have to get revenge for me! Out of nowhere I have lost a kidney—how unlucky can I be..." Zhong Yongliang sobbed.
"Who did this? Damn it, if I find out, I will wipe out his whole family!" Zhong Fabai was also burning with fury. Zhong Yongliang was his only son—how could he not be enraged?
"I don't know either. They pushed me straight onto the operating table, gave me anesthetic, and then cut out my kidney..." Zhong Yongliang said through his tears. "But the man who cut me said it was because of Gu Mengyao, and told me to stay away from her from now on..."
"Oh? Gu Mengyao?" Zhong Fabai was startled. "Could it be Gu Pengzhan's doing? No, that doesn't make sense—even if you were courting his daughter, he would not go so far as to cut out a kidney?"
"I am sure it must be him, or at least that he is involved! Before, I..." Zhong Yongliang had meant to keep it hidden, but after a moment's hesitation, he told his father what he had done before...
Zhong Fabai's face turned ugly at once. Zhong Yongliang was far too reckless, wasn't he? Daring to kidnap Gu Mengyao? Daring to go to Gu Pengzhan and threaten him? At first, when Zhong Fabai had heard it was Gu Pengzhan's doing, he had wanted to seek revenge on Gu Pengzhan; but now, hearing Zhong Yongliang's explanation, he fell silent again.
After all, in this matter it was he who had been in the wrong first, so retaliation was only natural. It was just that the method of retaliation was a little too vicious! If they had simply beaten him up and broken his legs, that would have been one thing, but they had cut out one of his kidneys!
Though he had only just established ties with Young Master Bing these past few days, Zhong Fabai knew that on his own strength alone he was no match for Gu Pengzhan! Now there was nothing for it but to talk things over with Li Cihua and see whether he might help him; after all, he worked for Li Cihua, and if his son had had a kidney cut out, Li Cihua could hardly just sit by and ask no questions.
So Zhong Fabai left Zhong Yongliang at the hospital. To set his son's mind at ease, he instructed him to focus on his treatment, saying that missing a kidney was nothing much, that at least he wouldn't die.
Zhong Yongliang of course knew that missing a kidney wouldn't kill him, but he couldn't lose one for nothing, could he? His health would surely be far worse than before; he wouldn't even have the stamina to chase girls. A wave of sorrow washed over Zhong Yongliang. But now that things had come to this, sorrow was of no use; getting revenge quickly was the real business.
Zhong Fabai and Li Cihua's relationship was in its honeymoon phase just then, so when Zhong Fabai called saying he wanted to meet, Li Cihua gladly agreed, and they set the place at the Geliyun Bar.
"Brother Zhong, it's barely morning and you've come looking for me all of a sudden?" That Li Cihua rose to greet him when Zhong Fabai arrived at the bar was already giving Zhong Fabai plenty of face.
Zhong Fabai was taken aback; it was already noon, so how was it still barely morning? But then he reflected that Li Cihua ran a bar and generally only went to bed in the small hours, so calling this morning was not far off the mark.
