Chapter 1169

At this moment, the inpatient department of Jin Ling People's Hospital.

As the best comprehensive hospital in Jin Ling and even the entire province, this place is always crowded no matter the time.

In every department, there are no empty hospital beds.

Not only is this place fully occupied, but many patients are also queuing at home, waiting for a bed to receive inpatient treatment.

In the special care ward of the nephrology department, a man lies unconscious on the bed, his body covered with tubes, approximately fifty years old.

Beside the bed sits a middle-aged woman of similar age, whose appearance bears a fifty percent resemblance to Wang Dongxue.

Outside the special care ward is a small reception room and family rest area; after all, this is the best-conditioned special care ward, and its internal layout closely resembles a hotel suite.

At this moment, a young man and woman stand in the reception room.

The woman is Wang Dongxue, vice-chairman of the Emperor's Glory Group, and opposite her stands a white-haired Caucasian man with a slightly hooked nose.

After Wang Dongxue hung up Ye Chen's call, the hooked-nose man spoke in somewhat non-standard Mandarin with a smile: "Dongxue, I see your uncle's condition can no longer be delayed; Chinese law clearly prohibits organ trading, and now, besides me, no one can find a suitable match for your uncle."

Wang Dongxue looked at him and pleaded bitterly: "Walter, I beg you, for the sake of our old classmates, help me make a connection—how much does the kidney source you contacted in the US cost? I'll pay double, and the extra can be your introduction fee—okay?"

The man called Walter snorted: "Dongxue, do you really think I went through all this trouble just to make a profit off you?"

Speaking, he said earnestly: "Dongxue, actually, I've liked you since our school days, but back then I wasn't financially independent, hadn't taken over family affairs, and my family didn't allow me to pursue a foreign woman—I didn't dare chase you under their noses..."

Saying this, he laughed heartily and proudly: "Hahaha, but now I'm already married and just sent to China to oversee China operations—they can no longer control me!"

"Moreover, the family's determination to enter the Chinese market is immense—I may have to stay in China for at least ten years..."

Wang Dongxue frowned and asked him: "Walter, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Walter clutched his chest, feigning heartache: "Dongxue, in the next ten years, if I can't have you, how lonely and desolate I would be..."

Wang Dongxue said coldly: "Walter! For the sake of our old classmates, I ask you to show some respect!"

Walter gave a frivolous smile: "Sorry, I just like to get straight to the point!"

"Dongxue, if you're willing to leave Emperor's Glory Group, join my company, and become my vice-chairman and lover, I'll immediately have my private plane fly the kidney source to you—you agree today, and your uncle can get a new kidney tomorrow—what do you think?"

"You're shameless!" Wang Dongxue gritted her teeth, furious: "Walter, what's the difference between this and looting a fire?! And you're already married with children—how can you face your wife and kids doing this?"

Walter curled his lip, indifferent: "People like me marry only to fulfill family duty—my family tells me whom to marry, I marry whom they say, and as long as I marry the woman they choose, they won't interfere in my private life."

After saying that, he added carelessly: "As for the children, it's even less of a concern—they're still young, but when they grow up, I'll make them realize money is more important than anything else, and then they'll understand me now."

Having said that, Walter suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Oh right, if you become my lover, you'll also have to bear my children—after all, I usually dislike any contraception, and I've always wanted a mixed-race child, but sadly, family tradition demands pure bloodline, which is really troubling..."

Saying this, Walter laughed heartily and proudly: "But hey, if it's an illegitimate child not involved in inheriting family wealth, they'll turn a blind eye and won't pursue it too much."

Wang Dongxue shouted angrily, face flushed: "Walter, I never thought you'd be such a shameless scoundrel in human form!"

Walter laughed loudly: "Come on, Dongxue, we're all adults—what use is shame? Look at those who daily spout benevolence and morality—aren't they all full of male thieves and female prostitutes?"

"If you follow me and work at my company, using your real estate experience and confidential information from Emperor's Glory Group to help me expand into the Chinese market, I'll pay you double what Emperor's Glory Group offers, plus an additional five million yuan in annual bonus!"

"That way, your annual income could reach ten to twenty million!"

"If you can secretly help me hollow out Emperor's Glory Group's assets so I can acquire it for under fifty billion yuan, I'll give you a one-time payment of one hundred million yuan!"

"Even better—by then, our offices will be separated by just one wall, and we can quietly break through to make a secret door, then install a cabinet outside it, so we can slip into each other's offices without anyone knowing!"

"That way, I can sneak into your office anytime during work hours to enjoy fish-and-water bliss with you—how perfect! Aren't you moved?"

Wang Dongxue stepped back, walked around Walter to the door, opened it, and shouted: "Walter, I don't want to see you—get out of here!!"

Walter sneered: "Dongxue, you tell me to get lost—I can do that anytime—but your father doesn't seem able to hold on much longer, so I urge you to reconsider my offer."

Wang Dongxue gritted her teeth: "I won't consider it! Stop daydreaming here—get out now, or I'll call the police right now!"

Walter spread his hands, curled his lip: "OK, OK, don't get so worked up—although your father's condition is serious, you should still have about a month to think it over; I've been in Jin Ling lately, and if you make up your mind, you can contact me anytime!"

After saying that, he adjusted his suit collar, gave Wang Dongxue a teasing blink, and smiled: "My dear, then I'll take my leave."

Wang Dongxue watched his retreating back, trembling with rage, tears instantly welling up.

Two years ago, Wang Dongxue's father suffered severe nephritis, and because he has RH-negative blood, finding a matching kidney source has always been difficult.

At that time, Wang Dongxue herself underwent testing but didn't match.

Later, luckily, her relatives in Southeast Asia found a successful match, and the donor was willing to donate for compensation.

Afterward, Wang Dongxue spent one million yuan to resolve her father's kidney source issue.

We thought that after finding a kidney source, with careful care and maintenance, his life could be extended by at least twenty to thirty years.

But she never dreamed that just two years later, her father's transplanted kidney would suffer severe rejection, and his kidney function would plummet sharply.

Before the New Year, he was still fine, but after the holiday, he was hospitalized due to acute kidney failure.

Doctors couldn't find the cause of the kidney failure, and this condition is completely irreversible—the only solution is to quickly find a new kidney source and perform another transplant.

Time was pressing, so Wang Dongxue raised the price to five million yuan, but even with such high payment, no suitable kidney source could be found in the short term.

Wang Dongxue's classmate Walter from her overseas studies, who somehow learned of this, then enthusiastically helped her contact a kidney source from the American black market.

Walter came today to tell Wang Dongxue that a kidney source had been found—and it's from a very young, healthy young man.

But before Wang Dongxue could even be happy about this, Walter immediately revealed his true colors and made a series of excessive demands.

Thinking of this, Wang Dongxue felt extremely low.

She also knows that in such a short time, finding a suitable kidney source is nearly impossible...

At this moment, she involuntarily recalled the scene from when she attended Song Wanting's birthday party.

Ye Chen then produced a Hui Chun Dan, which Li Tai Lai bought for twenty billion yuan—supposedly, this pill can cure all diseases and turn decay into magic.

But the price of twenty billion yuan is absolutely something Wang Dongxue cannot afford...

Although her income isn't low, she's always been a high-level white-collar worker—her total assets still amount to less than one hundred million yuan, so how could she dare hope to buy a twenty-billion-yuan pill?
