Chapter 699 — Fainting With Rage Again
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At this thought, An Liwen's hatred for Wei Zhao grew even deeper—and so did his fear! He was afraid Wei Zhao would inform Qiu Lingshan of his identity, and furious that Wei Zhao had destroyed his life's work in an instant! It never occurred to him that if he hadn't had Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan captured, his kidney-harvesting ring would not have been wiped out so quickly.
Thinking it over carefully, An Liwen actually breathed a sigh of relief. So what if Wei Zhao told Qiu Lingshan? There was no evidence! The tattooed man would surely hold out and never betray him, and Dr. Wang—the only other person who knew his identity—had committed suicide. Who else could prove he was the head of the kidney-harvesting ring?
When the time came, he would deny everything to the death, and Qiu Lingshan wouldn't be able to do a thing to him! The An family was not to be trifled with—surely Qiu Lingshan wouldn't dare touch him without evidence. At this, An Liwen felt much more at ease, and he put on a somewhat hypocritical face. "Brother Wei Zhao, you came too? To think you'd still remember your old brother at a time like this—once I'm well, I'll treat you to a meal, I insist!"
An Liwen had no choice but to keep up this act to preserve his image in Gu Mengyao's eyes—otherwise she might think him petty and small-minded, and that would never do.
"Oh, Brother Jianwen, if you lose a kidney, can you still get better? You won't die, will you?" Shen Yushu spoke up before Wei Zhao could say a word.
"Huh?" An Liwen was struck dumb, his face instantly flushing red from Shen Yushu's words, and he cursed inwardly: Damn it, would you die if you lost a kidney? Can't you get through a conversation without provoking someone? But An Liwen truly did not dare curse Shen Yushu aloud. He could not afford to offend the Chen family, and Chen Yuxuan was right there in the ward besides! And on top of that, Shen Yushu was Gu Mengyao's closest friend. If he cursed her out, did he still expect things to go well for him?
"Xiaoshu, don't say such things. Losing a kidney only affects your health somewhat. It won't kill you," Chen Yuxuan said. He was helpless against his little sister and could only try to explain it to her.
"Oh, I see. That's what I figured!" Shen Yushu nodded. "I heard that when a man loses a kidney, he's no longer a complete man. Brother Jianwen, your dream with Sister Yao Yao is shattered now, and I bet you definitely can't handle a threesome anymore either!"
"Huh?" An Liwen's face turned purple-red on the spot. He had not expected Shen Yushu to be so vicious, bringing up exactly the topic he least wanted to discuss. He really should never have let her come along. Was she here just to humiliate him in front of Gu Mengyao?
"Xiaoshu, don't say such things. Even if he were a man, I would never sleep with him," Gu Mengyao said with a frown. She felt Shen Yushu had gone a bit too far, as if she herself had agreed to be with An Liwen!
But Gu Mengyao's words carried an ambiguity, and hearing them, An Liwen felt a chill run straight through him. Even if he were a man? Did that mean she did not count him as one now?
The more An Liwen thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Why was he so unlucky? Was there anyone in the world more unlucky than he was? As he brooded, the rage surged through him, and he passed out cold on the spot. RO
