?Chapter 129: 123: Changling’s last-minute winning moment, her teammate Yue (second update) Chapter 129: 123: Changling’s last-minute winning moment, her teammate Yue (second update) Five years ago, Gaoyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital moved to the urban district.

The old hospital’s building wasn’t demolished and was located at the boundary between the capital and Gaobei. Due to road construction, the nearby neighborhoods had gradually relocated.

Last year, the old hospital was taken over by Dihong Hospital and repurposed as a drug storage warehouse.

One fifty-six in the afternoon.

The warehouse keeper was making his routine rounds when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the morgue at the far end. As he approached, he noticed the door was ajar.

The warehouse keeper stood at the door, “Who’s in there?”

No one responded.

The warehouse keeper pushed the door open and walked in. It was pitch dark inside; as he reached for the light switch, he turned his head and saw a shadow on the floor. Before he could utter a sound, a heavy blow struck the back of his neck, and he fell to the ground.

Light from outside seeped through the crack of the door, illuminating half of a face with a mask, hat, and glasses. Despite the disguise, it was clear—it was a woman.

She opened the freezer.

There were bodies inside.

She adjusted her glasses and after taking photos, she tapped her wristband with her finger twice.

*****
Wen Changling’s hands were tied behind her back to a chair. After her bracelet vibrated slightly, she, too, tapped her bracelet twice.

This was an operating room on the first floor, but it was arranged carelessly.

“Where is the person?”

It was Zheng Lvhong’s voice.

Doctor Pang said, “Inside.”

Finally, he arrived.

Zheng Lvhong entered, glanced at Wen Changling, then sent the others who came with him away, “You all go out.”

After Doctor Pang and the nurse left, the door was closed.

Zheng Lvhong walked up to Wen Changling, bent down, and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up, “Who told you about the incident seven years ago?”

Wen Changling dodged Zheng Lvhong’s hand.

She was certain that Zheng Lvhong did not intend to leave any survivors today. So now, in Zheng Lvhong’s eyes, she was a “dead person walking.”

To die with her eyes closed, she asked first, “I want to know, whose corneas were you planning to sell after taking mine?”

As expected.

Zheng Lvhong generously answered a “dead person walking’s” question without any guard, “Of course, to whoever is willing to pay.”

Wen Changling showed a frightened expression, “Was Zhang Ludan also killed by you in this manner?”

Zheng Lvhong looked puzzled, “Who is Zhang Ludan?”

“You don’t even remember her name.” The hands tied behind her back discretely worked on the ropes. Wen Changling, like a frightened rabbit, shuffled the chair backward until her back was against the wall, “Not long ago, I met Zhang Ludan’s brother. He said that Zhang Ludan was supposed to have a minor surgery, but a medical accident occurred. Dihong Hospital disguised the accident as complications and deceived her parents into signing an organ donation consent, transplanting the liver to Chairman Gao Jianping.”

“Ah, that student.” Zheng Lvhong’s tone was relaxed, “Yes, there was such an incident.”

Wen Changling scolded angrily, “What you’re doing is illegal.”

Zheng Lvhong laughed at her naivety, “The rules of this world are such that people who get looked down upon for their illness, is there a need for them to live so strenuously in this world? How tiring.”

She was too frightened to speak.

“Your turn now.” Zheng Lvhong looked at her eyes, which were impossibly beautiful, and felt somewhat reluctant, “Tell me, how did you come to know about the incident seven years ago?”

Wen Changling tapped her bracelet three times.

It was the secret code between her and Yue, meaning it’s time to wrap things up.

Zheng Lvhong, seeing she wasn’t speaking, picked up a scalpel from the instrument tray and weighed it in his hand nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t talk, you won’t have the chance to speak ever again anyway.”

He stepped forward, holding the scalpel.

Wen Changling released the rope clenched in her palm, as the scalpel drew closer and closer.

The opportunity arrived.

She suddenly stood up, each hand holding an end of the rope, and before Zheng Lvhong could react, she looped the rope around his neck, pulled it tight with both hands, and dragged him backward with all her might.

Zheng Lvhong’s arm clashed against the operating light tower, the scalpel in his hand fell, and he grabbed at the rope choking him, bending down to reach for the scalpel on the floor.

Wen Changling kicked the back of his knee.

Zheng Lvhong fell to his knees.

Wen Changling immediately picked up the scalpel and pressed it against the back of his neck.

Yue had taught her a bit of Grapple and kick-boxing, just a little, but Yue had a championship level, not for show, but the kind honed through special training with real fighting, her little bit was enough to deal with ordinary people.

The situation reversed, and Wen Changling returned He Dongzhou’s ruthless words to him, “The one who may not have the chance to speak might be you.”

He Dongzhou struggled angrily, but as soon as he moved, the rope around his neck and the knife at the back of his neck both pressed harder.

She was actually serious!

“You harm patients and engage in organ trafficking, which I accidentally discovered. I saw injustice and sought to uphold justice, and then you silenced me by killing and kidnapping me.”

This was the script Wen Changling had prepared for herself.

She poked He Dongzhou’s skin with the tip of the scalpel, “You need to say this when you go in, got that?”

He Dongzhou cursed coarsely, wanting to call for help but afraid of revealing his secret.

Wen Changling still had that expression of calm defiance no matter how angry you got, “If you dare to tip off your two other friends, I will make sure you never have a chance to speak again, and you should be more familiar with how to do it than I am. Wasn’t the scapegoat silenced in exactly this quiet manner back then?”

He Dongzhou turned his head, his face showing panic, “Who the hell are you?”

How could she know so much?

“You don’t even remember the name Zhang Ludan, so you probably don’t remember the name of the scapegoat either, right?”

He didn’t remember the name; he only remembered the surname Wen.

Wen…

Suddenly, the door to the operating room was kicked open from the outside.

Wen Changling thought Yue had come to support her and immediately looked up.

She was stunned, “Xie Shang…”

Ropes, knives, the person on the floor.

Xie Shang surveyed everything, walked over to Wen Changling, “Changling, give me the knife.”

In this situation, Wen Changling felt she should explain, so she said, “He wants to harvest my corneas.”

This was the truth.

She could only selectively confess.

Xie Shang glanced at He Dongzhou, a look others might not understand, but He Dongzhou, who had come in with him, did. He Dongzhou had crossed Xie Shang’s bottom line.

Xie Shang was not one to truly get angry easily; he had strong emotional regulation abilities. As the young master of the Xie Family, with ‘noble’ in his heritage and a law student, he always kept things in proportion. But once a certain line was crossed, he could become the complete opposite.

Xie Shang controlled his emotions very well, with no signs of overreaction, and soothingly said to Wen Changling, “The police will be here soon; you can’t harm anyone, give me the knife.”

Xie Shang’s handling of the situation was right.

He was a lawyer, and a lawyer will always maximize the client’s interest.

Wen Changling did not hesitate, handing over the knife to Xie Shang and at the same time, pushing He Dongzhou away.

He Dongzhou fell to his knees and lay flat on the ground. As he struggled to turn over, He Dongzhou who was closest stepped on his back, “Don’t resist; the more you resist, the longer your sentence will be.”

Behind Wen Changling was Xie Shang; behind Xie Shang was the Xie Family and the Su Family.

Now, He Dongzhou was truly panicked.

Xie Shang, holding Wen Changling’s hand, lifted it slightly to check for injuries on her body; she was still in her patient outfit, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Wen Changling shook her head, “They injected me with something.”

She guessed it was an anesthetic of some sort, but the dose wasn’t large, just enough to make her feel drowsy and weak.

“Dongzhou,” Xie Shang said, “I’ll take her to the hospital first.”

“Go ahead; I’ll keep watch here.”

As Wen Changling was leaving, she specifically looked around but did not see Yue.

On the way back, Wen Changling fell asleep, not knowing if it was the drug’s effect or physical exhaustion. When she woke up, she was in the hospital.

Aside from her, only Granny Zhu was in the room.

“You’re awake.”

She sat up, looking for Xie Shang first thing, “Where’s Xie Shang?”

“He went to the police station.” Granny Zhu picked up the thermos from the table, “You haven’t eaten all day, have some food first.”

Granny Zhu also brought a bowl, which she took to the washroom to rinse.

Wen Changling sat in a daze for a while, then removed the bracelet from her wrist. On the inside of the bracelet’s clasp, there was a very small raised point. After taking it off, she placed it under the pillow.

Her phone was on the table; presumably, Xie Shang had found it for her.

She made a call to an unsaved number, and when connected, she asked, “Are you home safe?”

Yue answered, “Mhm.”

The entire plan had gone smoothly, except Xie Shang was an unexpected variable.
