Zhong Yongliang could not help but gloat. So you wanted to cut out my kidney, did you? Well, how do you like it now? Learned your lesson, have you? Your kidney's been cut out! You spend every day cutting out other people's kidneys, and now it's finally your turn!

No wonder his own kidney hadn't matched — it turned out they'd swapped in the wrong one!

"It can't be? You're that unlucky?" Zhong Yongliang said with feigned sympathy, his tone sour, though in his heart he was utterly delighted.

"Yeah, unlucky as hell! Brother, you and I are fellow sufferers now!" An Jianwen said, on the verge of tears.

"Fellow sufferers? I've got a kidney now — how am I still a fellow sufferer?" Zhong Yongliang said deliberately, just to needle An Jianwen.

"Uh, your kidney is mine, and our kidneys are bound not to match, so, to avoid causing bigger trouble, you'd better transplant the kidney back into me first? Otherwise, if it necrotizes, it'll affect your health!" An Jianwen said. "But your big brother here will definitely help you find a matching kidney..."

Give it back to you? Mother of hell, you've got some nerve, haven't you? You put me through all that and now you want it back? Who do you think you're fooling? Besides, it's already necrotized — where am I supposed to get one for you? And you'll find another matching kidney for me? You're conning a ghost! Your kidney-harvesting ring has been smashed; where are you going to get a matching kidney for me?

Zhong Yongliang did not believe a word of it. He hated An Jianwen to death — if not for him, would he have become a one-kidney man? And now, never mind that the kidney had already necrotized; even if it hadn't, he would gouge it out and throw it away rather than give it back to An Jianwen.

"Is that so? Then I'll go to the hospital first and have it checked, see whether it matches, and we'll talk after that!" Zhong Yongliang said flatly, and without waiting for An Jianwen's reply, hung up.

An Jianwen could only smile bitterly with the phone in his hand. He felt sure Zhong Yongliang did not quite believe him — he wanted to keep his kidney for himself! But for now all he could do was pray that after the hospital check it would not match, so that the kidney would be of no use to Zhong Yongliang and he would give it back.

Zhong Yongliang hung up on An Jianwen, his face full of contempt. He gave a cold laugh and said to Gao Xiaofu, "This An Jianwen actually wants to ask me for his kidney back? What a fool's dream!"

Gao Xiaofu was sitting right beside Zhong Yongliang, very close, and there was no one else at home, so it was quiet — he had heard every word An Jianwen said on the phone. He chimed in, "That's right. Never mind that the kidney's already necrotized — even if it weren't, we wouldn't give it back! If not for him, would you be in this state, Brother Liang? Now you don't even have the confidence to court Gu Mengyao!"

"That's right. I, Zhong Yongliang, swear I will never let An Jianwen off. Once Naipao comes out of seclusion, I'll settle every account with him, old and new!" Zhong Yongliang said through gritted teeth, viciously.

"Brother Liang, I've got a good idea — we can deal with An Jianwen without waiting for Zhang Naipao to come out of seclusion!" Gao Xiaofu said, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Oh? You've got a good plan?" Zhong Yongliang asked quickly as soon as he heard Gao Xiaofu had an idea.

"Brother Liang, didn't An Jianwen ask you for his kidney? In that case, let's give him one back!" Gao Xiaofu said with a chuckle.

"Give him one back? Where are we supposed to get one? The necrotized kidney's already been thrown away!" Zhong Yongliang said, somewhat puzzled. "And even if we had one, I wouldn't give it back to him. I hate him too much — why would I give him a kidney?"

"Brother Liang, hear me out first!" Gao Xiaofu lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I said we'd give him a kidney back — I didn't say we'd give back that same kidney! We can give him a different one! I hear dog kidneys and pig kidneys look about the same as human kidneys. We'll give him a dog kidney to put in... heh heh..."

"Oh? That's a good idea. But will it match?" Zhong Yongliang's eyes lit up too.

"Who gives a damn? It's best if it doesn't match — then we can put him through the wringer too, let him enjoy the misery of having a transplant and then having it removed. By then he'll have been cut open three times!" Gao Xiaofu said maliciously.

"Right, why didn't I think of that?" Zhong Yongliang was overjoyed at the suggestion. "We'll give him a dog kidney! But when they do the transplant, will the doctor be able to spot the trick?"

"That..." Gao Xiaofu thought for a moment. "We'll find the doctor ourselves. Then you just say that since the kidney-harvesting ring case was only just closed, you don't dare do it in a big hospital — and as for An Jianwen, his kidney-harvesting ring has been smashed, so he definitely has no doctor on his side either!"

"True enough. Haha, An Jianwen, oh An Jianwen, you screwed me over, so I'll put a dog kidney in you and give you a real thrill!" The very thought of screwing An Jianwen over delighted Zhong Yongliang. "Xiaofu, I've just gotten over a serious illness and shouldn't go out. I'll leave this to you. Find a reliable back-alley clinic, then go get a stray dog — one with rabies, if you can. Heh heh!"

"Don't worry, Brother Liang. Easy. Leave it to me!" Gao Xiaofu said, thumping his chest in assurance.

"Mm, there's still thirty thousand yuan in my bank card — that should be enough to cover it..." Zhong Yongliang handed a bank card to Gao Xiaofu. "This is the pocket money my dad just gave me this month..."

"Hey! Why spend our own money? We're doing An Jianwen a favor by giving him a kidney — he should be the one paying. And he ought to give you some compensation for your health, too, right?" Gao Xiaofu said.

"That's true. Why should we spend our money? Let's go get the money from him instead. This is even better — not only do we give him a dog kidney, we can squeeze some cash out of him too!" Zhong Yongliang said happily. "Xiaofu, you've gotten a lot smarter lately!"

"Ah, all that's happened lately has made me grow a lot too!" Gao Xiaofu nodded. "From now on, we should do things with some brains — not like before, acting without thinking!"

"Mm, but the business of giving An Jianwen a dog kidney must be kept absolutely secret. An Jianwen must never find out!" Zhong Yongliang said. "My dad may run with Young Master Bing, but An Jianwen's backers aren't people we can afford to provoke either!"

"Rest assured, Brother Liang. I won't go blabbing!" Gao Xiaofu nodded.
