Chapter 15: Youyou's Body Donation

When Jiang Xue arrived at the hospital yawning, it was already eight o’clock. Seeing her come, Chen Shaojie eagerly approached her, trying to please.

“President Jiang, I saw with my own eyes that they went into the operating room. You can rest assured.”

Jiang Xue sat down on the bench. “I am indeed at ease. But you—this isn’t your child, yet you don’t seem the least bit anxious!”

Chen Shaojie wiped his face sheepishly. “How could that be? President Jiang, I’m taking risks here. If that girl doesn’t make it, Jiang Li certainly won’t let it go easily.”

“That’s true. But if she really dies, what will happen to the body?”

Chen Shaojie’s face lit up with calculation. “If she really dies, we might as well sell her on the black market. After all, organs are valuable. Then I can donate her body as a specimen and get some bonus money.”

Jiang Xue was momentarily stunned but then gave Chen Shaojie a thumbs-up. “They say a woman’s heart is the cruelest, but Chen Shaojie, you’re far harsher than many women. Aren’t you afraid that little girl will come after you in the night?”

“Oh, what’s there to be afraid of? She has heart disease and won’t live long anyway. I’m just recycling her organs—if one person is saved, it’s a good deed.”

Jiang Xue nodded approvingly. “Alright, I’ll give you credit for being clever. When the time comes, let that girl seek revenge on whoever got her organs.”

The two chatted gleefully. Just then, the operating room door opened, and a doctor came out with a trace of urgency.

“May I ask who is the family member of that little girl?”

Upon hearing the question, Chen Shaojie hurried forward. “I am the girl’s father. How did the surgery go?”

“This is the consent form. We found that the little girl has heart disease. I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to come off the table after the kidney donation surgery.”

“Oh, I know. But it’s fine. I’ve checked at other hospitals. This surgery carries no life-threatening risks. You can proceed. Of course, if she really can’t make it, that’s her fate.”

Chen Shaojie’s face displayed a painful sorrow, as if deeply saddened.

The doctor looked at him with pity. “Sir, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? The child is still young. If a suitable heart donor is found, she has the right to live.”

“Why are you so nagging? I’ve already signed. Don’t delay the rescue. Besides, the kidney donation was agreed to by the girl herself. After the kidney, I intend to donate all her other organs—this was her wish and her good deed.”

The doctor shook his head, looking at the investigation results. This man really was the girl’s guardian.

They truly had no way to stop him.

The doctor returned to the operating room helplessly, while Chen Shaojie showed a hint of impatience.

“Such dithering, really. Jiang Xue, aren’t these doctors you brought here? Do they still need to ask me?”

Jiang Xue glanced at the surveillance camera above and smiled faintly.

“This is the doctor’s duty, Chen Shaojie. Don’t overthink it. Anyway, you donating your daughter’s kidney to my son truly touched me. Thank you.”

Chen Shaojie felt honored. “No need to thank me, Sister Jiang. It’s my daughter’s blessing to save your son. Anyway, that girl has heart disease and won’t live long.”

“No, I still have to thank you. Here’s eight million on this card, including the deposit, exactly ten million. I hope you accept it.”

Seeing the money, Chen Shaojie’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He quickly pocketed the card, his gaze shining with eagerness.

At that moment, a woman burst through the door. Her white dress was covered in mud.

Her hair was disheveled, and her face was streaked with rain or sweat as she staggered forward.

“Chen Shaojie, give me my daughter back! Return Youyou to me!”

It was Jiang Li.

With a heart-wrenching scream, she rushed to confront Chen Shaojie.

Chen Shaojie trembled in fright and hastily hid the bank card.

“You—how did you get to the hospital? What Youyou? I sent Youyou to school. Anyway, my daughter, I do as I please with her. Don’t cause trouble.”

Jiang Li, on the verge of collapse, grabbed Chen Shaojie’s clothes and shook him hard.

“Give me Youyou back! Chen Shaojie, if you don’t return Youyou, I’ll take you down with me today. I’ve already called the police. If you lay a finger on Youyou, I’ll make sure you rot in jail.”

Chen Shaojie shoved her hard, and Jiang Li fell to the ground.

“Jiang Li, you must be crazy. This is a hospital—don’t make a scene here. Besides, I am Youyou’s father. Even if the police come, it won’t help.”

“No, Chen Shaojie, please return my daughter. Youyou is my life. I beg you, don’t be so cruel. Please…”

Before Jiang Li could finish, the operating room door opened again, and a doctor pushed out a pale little boy.

“Who is the family member of little Qin Jinchen? The kidney transplant was successful. He needs to be moved to the ICU for monitoring.”

“I—I’m the mother. As long as the surgery was successful, that’s good. Take him to the ICU. Money is no object.”

Watching the pale boy pass by her bedside, Jiang Li glanced again at the woman who had spoken earlier—Jiang Xue?

It was Jiang Xue?

So this little boy was Jiang Xue and Qin Mu’s son?

Jiang Li was dumbfounded. She had been held captive by Qin Mu all these days. So that was why he feared she would stop the kidney donation?

No wonder Qin Mu had resolutely entrusted his daughter to Chen Shaojie. So Chen Shaojie and Jiang Xue were colluding?

For that ten million, Chen Shaojie actually donated Youyou’s kidney?

Just then, another doctor emerged from the operating room, shaking his head regretfully.

“No, Youyou, Youyou—Doctor, where is my daughter? How is my daughter Youyou? Is she alright?”

The doctor shook his head and spoke with grief. “I’m sorry. We did everything we could. The little girl had heart disease. After donating her kidney, she stopped breathing. Such a tragedy. Here are her personal belongings.”

The doctor’s words struck Jiang Li like a thunderclap, shattering her heart.

Her mind went blank as she took the child’s clothes in disbelief.

“Yes, these are Youyou’s clothes. No, I want to find my daughter. I never consented to the kidney donation surgery. Return Youyou to me. This is illegal. I want to see Youyou.”

Jiang Li pushed past the doctor and rushed inside, frantically searching for her daughter.

Her trembling legs and chaotic gaze were filled with helplessness.

Tears blurred her eyes as she desperately sought Youyou.

“Ma’am, please stop looking. Your husband already signed to donate the little girl’s body. Here is one million as a token of gratitude. Please accept it.”

Jiang Li felt her scalp tingle and explode.

She stared at Youyou’s clothes and necklace in her hands, gasping for breath.

It was as if a venomous snake coiled tightly around her neck, making it hard to breathe. The pain was like a knife stabbing her heart.

Unbearable agony!

Just then, Chen Shaojie rushed over, snatching the bank card from the doctor’s hand with disdain.

“One million only? If I had known earlier…” He glanced at Jiang Li. “Don’t glare at me with such hatred. Anyway, that girl had heart disease and wouldn’t have lived long.”
