Chapter 18: Who Exactly Donated the Kidney?

Page (1/3)

Hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Qin Mu couldn’t help but feel worried. What did Jiang Li’s phone call mean? He had already received a response from the villa’s security that Jiang Li had escaped from the villa. It seemed she had gone to find Chen Shaojie and Youyou. The problem was that Chen Shaojie’s phone was also unreachable.

“Mr. Qin, we have contacted Chen Shaojie through multiple channels. His phone number has been deactivated, and he is no longer in Yun City.”

Qin Mu frowned. “Chen Shaojie and Jiang Li are not divorced yet. Logically, he shouldn’t be hiding unless something happened to Youyou.”

Assistant Li, who was driving, hurriedly pulled the car over, nervous as he spoke. “Mr. Qin, before we went to Jiang City, Sister Jiang Li told me to tell you to do a paternity test with Youyou. She also said Chen Shaojie took Youyou, and Youyou’s life might be in danger. I wanted to tell you several times, but I was interrupted.”

“What? A paternity test?” Qin Mu’s heart skipped a beat. The image of Youyou’s little face, her adorable expression, flashed through his mind.

“Mr. Qin, to be honest, the first time I saw Miss Youyou, I felt there was a resemblance in your brows and eyes, both revealing a hint of resilience. Have you noticed that?” Li Fei’s words made Qin Mu suddenly realize. He spoke with a hint of panic, “Immediately have someone check Youyou’s birth date and all the hidden information since Jiang Li left me.”

“Yes, Mr. Qin. This is a lock of Miss Youyou’s hair. What do we do now?”

“Go to the hospital for a paternity test right away. Also, investigate who donated a kidney to our young master. We must find out who his parents are—I want to thank them properly!”

“Yes, Mr. Qin.”

After giving his orders, Qin Mu headed to the hospital, eager to see his son. So eager, in fact, that he didn’t even notice the RV carrying Jiang Li and Xie Yun speeding past him.

Rushing to the hospital, Qin Mu hurried to his son’s ward. Jiang Xue, looking exhausted, sat up from the chair. “Brother Qin Mu, you’re here! You scared me. Chenchen’s surgery took several hours, and my legs went weak.”

Qin Mu quickly steadied Jiang Xue, his expression forced with a hint of obligatory politeness. “Thank you for your hard work. By the way, the jewelry set you like is going to auction in a few days. I’ll take you to bid on it.”

“Really? Thank you, Brother Mu. But the most important thing is that our son has passed the critical period. Look, Chenchen is still a bit weak.”

Qin Mu’s eyes stayed fixed on his son lying on the bed. Hearing Jiang Xue, he sat beside Chenchen and took his small hand in his, his brows tightening with pain.

“Dad’s here, Chenchen. You’ve suffered, my dear!”

At the sound of his father’s voice, the little boy weakly opened his eyes.

“Dad, is that young lady okay? Can you save her? She has heart disease and donated her kidney to Chenchen. Can you—”

“Ouch!” Jiang Xue suddenly stood up, then collapsed to the floor. “Dizzy… my head is spinning!”

After speaking, Jiang Xue glared resentfully at the boy on the bed, frightening little Qin Jinchen, who shrank back.

Qin Mu quickly called for a doctor. “Doctor, please check if she’s okay!”

Several people helped Jiang Xue toward the emergency room. Qin Mu felt a pang of sympathy. After all, she was Chenchen’s mother and had been by his side for nearly six years. She loved him wholeheartedly.

The little boy on the bed, pale and weak, looked around the empty ward. He summoned his strength and sat up, his small face clenched in pain.

“Miss, you will definitely be okay. Chenchen came to see you.”

Dressed in a sky-blue hospital gown, the frail little boy leaned against the wall. His skinny frame and cracked lips, the pain intensifying in his wound, he took slow steps toward the operating room.

“Miss, where are you?” His voice was faint, face contorted in suffering.

The surgeon responsible for his operation suddenly paused. “You, young master Qin, you just had surgery—you can’t be moving around. Where are your guardians? Nurse, stop him immediately!”

Several nurses rushed out at the sound. “Little boy, don’t move anymore. There’s blood—your waist is covered in blood!”

The wobbly little figure, anxious, lifted his palm-sized face. “Nurse, doctor, I want to find the young lady who donated her kidney to me. Where is she?”

His words stunned the medical staff. Just then, Qin Mu arrived, striding briskly.

“Jinchen, you just had surgery. How can you move around like this?”

Seeing his father, the boy looked up and forced a faint smile.

“Dad, you’re here. Seeing you… makes Chenchen so happy. But can you ask the doctor to find that young lady who donated her kidney? She has a heart condition. Chenchen plans to donate his heart to her so that we can both live healthily.”

Hearing his son’s words, Qin Mu frowned deeply. He carefully lifted the boy and looked at his attending physician.

“Doctor, what about the girl who donated my son’s kidney? Does she have a heart condition? Why would someone with a heart condition donate a kidney?”

Qin Mu’s question carried a cold edge of authority, leaving the doctor at a loss for words.

“Speak!” Qin Mu suddenly roared. The doctor shuddered in fright, apologizing profusely with deep respect.

“Sorry, Mr. Qin. That young girl suffered multi-organ failure after donating the kidney and did not survive the surgery.”

“What do you mean?” Qin Mu’s stern expression radiated the power of his position.

The doctor, sweating profusely, explained, “It means the little girl died. Her father donated her body to a research center.”

Boom! Qin Mu’s mind went blank, his chest felt heavy and tight.

Little Jinchen burst into tears. “Miss, no! I don’t want Miss to die. She promised me she would live well. No, ah...!”

The boy cried uncontrollably, causing his wound to reopen. He fainted.

The medical team rushed to attend to him, hurriedly carrying him back to the emergency room.

Watching the tightly closed emergency entrance, Qin Mu anxiously rubbed his temples.

Li Fei ran over. “Mr. Qin, the paternity test results for you and Miss Youyou will be ready by tomorrow afternoon.”

“Hm. Any information on the kidney donor?”

“They’re still investigating.”

“Make it fast. Personally supervise to get the results as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Mr. Qin!”

Just as Li Fei turned to leave, Jiang Xue appeared hesitantly around the corner.

She thought feigning unconsciousness would make Qin Mu stay with her, but she waited in vain.

“I didn’t expect that little brat to stir up trouble the moment he couldn’t be seen. I’ll punish him properly.”

But now, how to win over Qin Mu?

Muttering to herself, Jiang Xue staggered forward, leaning on the wall.

“Brother Qin Mu, what’s wrong with our son? How did something happen when I wasn’t by his side for a moment?”

Qin Mu let Jiang Xue lean on his arm, frowning coldly.

“Jiang Xue, tell me—who donated the kidney to Jinchen?”
