Though anxiety churned inside him, he forced himself to stay calm. "It's possible that An Liwen and his men mistook someone else for Wei Zhao. They couldn't have just grabbed some random person and swapped his kidney into you, could they? A kidney is worth a great deal of money—they wouldn't do something so thankless!"
Hearing his father's words, Zhong Yongliang calmed down a little. Indeed, An Liwen would never do something so thankless! Giving him a random kidney made no sense—why not use one that matched? A kidney was a commodity that could be sold; any kidney was worth money. Why would he do such a thing?
The only explanation was that An Liwen had grabbed someone who looked very much like Wei Zhao, mistaken him for the man, and transplanted that person's kidney into him!
"All right! Then let's have the examination first and talk afterward!" Zhong Yongliang nodded.
Zhong Fabai did not dare delay either, and went straight to find a doctor. Zhong Yongliang's kidney transplant had not been performed at the First People's Hospital, so the hospital had no relevant records and had not been tracking his treatment—they had only provided some routine postoperative recovery care.
And because Zhong Fabai feared the kidney might draw police attention, he had not made a fuss about having doctors monitor the treatment. He trusted An Liwen deeply; since An Liwen said the kidney was a perfect match, there should be no problem! Zhong Fabai planned to wait until Zhong Yongliang had recovered somewhat, then arrange a full examination.
But now there was no time to worry about all that. Zhong Fabai went straight to find a doctor, and very soon Zhong Yongliang was wheeled out of the ward for a full examination...
Meanwhile, in another room of the hospital...
Liu Bojia did indeed wake up that afternoon, almost exactly when Wei Zhao had predicted. The doctors were astonished after examining him—a man kept alive by a ventilator had actually come back? And every vital indicator had clearly improved; apart from some physical trauma, there were no other problems?
Could this be called a miracle in the history of medicine?
Qiu Lingshan, however, did not disclose the treatment process. She merely told the hospital that an expert had been brought in to save him, and that the specifics were confidential.
The hospital had no choice. If the police said confidential, then confidential it was; all they could do was cooperate with the police on the follow-up treatment arrangements for Liu Bojia.
This time, the awakened Liu Bojia was no longer as obstinate as before. Perhaps he understood that he had narrowly escaped death—whether good fortune would follow, he did not know; everything now depended on his choice.
Previously, Liu Bojia had never imagined that after being admitted to the hospital, that madman killer could still find him, slip into the ward right under police guard, and nearly kill him! He had survived this time, but whether he would survive the next was hard to say.
Liu Bojia knew well how ruthless that bunch was. Though the madman killer had said nothing, he was certainly sent by them to silence him—of that there was no doubt, and Liu Bojia knew it clearly.
Death either way—so Liu Bojia might as well cooperate with the police and perhaps live. He knew that as long as he lived, that bunch would never let it go; better, then, to take a prison sentence, where he would be safer.
Once Liu Bojia's condition had stabilized, Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan came in and sat down not far from his bed.
"Liu Bojia, even now, is there nothing you want to say?" Qiu Lingshan looked at Liu Bojia on the bed. She had once taken him for a victim, but now it seemed it was merely infighting. "If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet a miracle doctor, do you think you'd still be alive now?"
