Chapter 809 — The Orphanage's Trouble
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After returning from court, An Liwen was finally free. With the police no longer watching him, the first thing he did was call Zhong Yongliang.
In the courtroom, he had noticed Zhong Yongliang watching him the whole time with what seemed a strange look in his eyes, and inwardly he had fretted — surely Zhong Yongliang wouldn't let something slip. Fortunately, Zhong Yongliang had only worn a peculiar smile and said nothing inappropriate.
An Liwen could not tell what exactly Zhong Yongliang meant to convey: sympathy? Curiosity? Or gloating at his misfortune?
An Liwen knew that deep down, Zhong Yongliang surely resented him for harvesting one of his kidneys. But now that his own kidney had accidentally been harvested and given to him, surely Zhong Yongliang should be appeased?
Still, whatever Zhong Yongliang thought, An Liwen decided to contact him at the first opportunity to demand his kidney back. He could always spend money to buy another kidney, but nothing ever worked as well as the original equipment.
Gao Xiaofu accompanied Zhong Yongliang home. The past while had given Zhong Yongliang a rough time of it, and the first thing he did upon returning home was take a bath to wash away the bad luck. Thanks to Divine Doctor Kang's wound medicine, his injuries had healed long ago; Zhong Yongliang's health had actually recovered rather well.
"Brother Liang, this business with An Liwen is pretty bizarre, isn't it? He got his kidney harvested too? Wasn't the kidney-harvesting syndicate under his control?" Gao Xiaofu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Who knows? But it's worked out well enough. Not only did he lose his kidney-harvesting ring, he lost a kidney of his own too. I'd say that balances things out a little for me!" Zhong Yongliang nodded and said, "By the way, how has Wei Zhao been lately?"
"Same as ever. He's doing remarkably well at school, and no one dares cross him..." Gao Xiaofu sighed. "Say, Brother Liang, when is Naipao coming back? Once he's back, we can settle our scores and have our revenge!"
"I'm not sure yet. If we're not too busy these next few days, let's head up the mountain to see him and find out whether there's anything he needs help with," Zhong Yongliang said.
"Sounds good. I've been wanting to see how Naipao is doing myself!" Gao Xiaofu nodded. He was quite eager for Zhang Naipao's return.
As the two of them were talking, Zhong Yongliang's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, saw an unfamiliar number, and answered it casually. "Hello? This is Zhong Yongliang. Who am I speaking to?"
"Liangzi, it's me, An Liwen!" An Liwen's voice was brimming with enthusiasm.
"Oh, Brother Wen? Is there something you need?" Zhong Yongliang's expression shifted slightly. What was An Liwen calling him for? What could he possibly want with him?
"Ah, Liangzi, I'm calling because I have something important!" An Liwen, unable to hear the unfriendliness in Zhong Yongliang's tone and unable to see his expression, went on, "How's your kidney doing? Has it given you any trouble?"
"What? Is there a problem with the kidney you gave me?" Zhong Yongliang sneered inwardly. My kidney is dead and gone, cut out of me, and you still have the nerve to ask if there's a problem? That thing has put me under the knife three times already!
