— — Song Shishan met Song Kexin?
Hearing Wang Wu's report, Gu Shao's eyes narrowed, but he wasn't too surprised.
"Song Kexin contacted Song Shishan?" Gu Shao asked.
"Ah, yes." Wang Wu answered with a hint of surprise in his voice. He didn't expect Mr. Gu to be able to guess it right away. Shouldn't his first reaction be that Song Shishan went to Song Kexin for help?
Wang Wu muttered in his heart, but he heard Gu Shao say, "Continue."
"Yes." After a pause, Wang Wu continued to report, "Song Kexin and Song Shishan met at the hospital."
"Song Kexin looked for Song Shishan because of her illness …" Wang Wu explained.
— — Song Kexin's lungs had been diagnosed. However, due to some special characteristics of Song Kexin's body, it was difficult to find a suitable organ source. They couldn't find one a few years ago, and they still couldn't find one today.
Song Kexin and Zhang Cui both set their sights on Gu Xi, but unfortunately, their plans were difficult to implement.
Originally, according to the results of the specialist's consultation, Song Kexin's current condition was only in the early stages of relapse. In the early stages, he could be treated with ordinary medicine and did not necessarily need a lung transplant immediately.
However, after experiencing the recent upheaval, coupled with various blows, Song Kexin's heart was depressed, causing his condition to worsen.
After Song Kexin fainted at the Lin Group and was sent to the hospital, he was told by the doctor that his condition had worsened and that he had to undergo an organ transplant within three months.
Song Kexin didn't want to die, so he was immediately scared out of his wits.
Seeing that Gu Xi's plan wasn't working, Song Kexin set his sights on Song Shishan.
"There's a recording here," Wang Wu said. This was recorded by the person who was sent to keep an eye on Song Shishan.
As Wang Wu spoke, he played the recording to Gu Shao through the phone.
"I'll talk over there." A woman's voice came from the recording.
The voice of this recording was not loud, and it seemed to be accompanied by some noise on the street. However, Gu Xi could still recognize the speaker as Song Kexin in the first second.
After a while, another voice sounded, sounding a little wary. "What do you want to say? Just say it."
"It's still the same thing as last time."
In the recording, Gu Xi heard the sound of something being handed to Song Shishan by Song Kexin.
"I didn't lie to you last time. This is the result of my checkup. If I don't perform the surgery soon, I might not be able to live." Song Kexin's tone was bleak and weak.
Gu Xi was familiar with this tone. It was the same tone Song Kexin used when he called her last time.
"This … I don't understand it either …"
"Do you think I would use my own life to lie to you?" Song Kexin retorted.
"This …" Song Shishan paused for a moment, then he seemed to sigh and said, "You have to be treated if you're sick, but last time, you told your mother that I couldn't treat you. How can I save you, just, just …"
Song Shishan did not finish his sentence, but his tone was anxious.
Song Kexin wanted to live, so he had to use his lungs in exchange for his life? Song Shishan would definitely not agree to this.
A bad life was better than a good death. Song Shishan was afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have hidden in Song Village for more than ten years in order to save his life.
Song Kexin interrupted Song Shishan and said, "I didn't make it clear last time. It's just a lung transplant. It won't take your life. After the surgery, you can still live."
Song Shishan did not believe Song Kexin's words. "Don't lie to me. If I give you my organs, how can I live?"
Moreover, he had only heard of people donating their organs after death or having their organs forcibly removed. He had never heard of anyone donating their organs while they were still alive.
"I'm not lying to you." Song Kexin's tone was anxious as he continued to explain, "I can apply for a suitable organ source through the proper channels. However, my physical condition is rather special. If I use other people's organs, it might cause rejection. Therefore, I can only find a suitable lung source from my blood relatives."
In fact, Song Kexin had also secretly done a match with Fang's without Zhang Cui's knowledge. However, it was still unsuccessful.
"Your body doesn't have this problem. It's not difficult to find a suitable lung source in the organ bank. Yize knows a hospital. When the time comes, we just need to forge a diagnosis for you and confirm that you need a lung transplant. Your lungs will be transplanted to me and I'll give you a new one."
Song Kexin said it lightly, but Song Shishan was shocked.
"You, you can't do that, right?!" Song Shishan had never heard of a living person getting a lung transplant.
Seeing this, Song Kexin could only continue to persuade Song Shishan. "Why can't I do that? With the current medical standards, this is just a small surgery. Moreover, I can find you a healthy and younger lung. Speaking of which, you'll benefit from this."
"This, this, this …" Song Shishan still didn't quite believe it.
Song Kexin tried to play the emotional card: "Why do you think my lungs are suffering from hair sickness? Isn't it because you suffered too much when you were young? How did you treat my, my mother then? It's not that I didn't treat you well. Instead, it's you who didn't treat me well, right? Have I ever complained about it? Even if you divorced my mother, you still took a lot of money from me in the past few years, right? "
"You want to see me die just like that?"
Song Kexin paused for a moment before continuing softly, "If I'm fine this time, I won't ignore your matters in the future."
Song Shishan didn't say anything. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before saying, "That's fine, but I also have a request."
"Say it." Song Kexin's voice couldn't hide the joy in his voice.
"It's about the incident that happened at the restaurant back then. The two people who died were Lin Yize. You know that. I don't want to be the scapegoat anymore. Think of a way to prove my innocence."
After Song Shishan finished speaking, he heard Song Kexin exclaim, "You're crazy!"
Song Kexin seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He coughed lightly and pretended not to know anything. "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by dead or alive?"
"You! You clearly know! " In the past, Lin Yize liked to bring Song Kexin to all kinds of events. Even if Song Kexin wasn't present, he probably knew about Lin Yize's matters.
So what if he knew?
Song Kexin sneered in his heart.
After being a rich madam in the Lin family for so long, Song Kexin knew very well that the Lin family was her everything. Without the Lin family, she was nothing. Therefore, nothing could happen to the Lin family, and she couldn't leave Lin Yize.
Song Kexin's attitude changed. He suddenly sighed softly. "So what if he knew …"
"You were also at the scene back then. All the evidence left behind points to you. It's difficult to refute it.
"Moreover, nothing happened after so many years. What are you afraid of?" After a pause, Song Kexin said again, "Don't worry. Yize took care of everything cleanly. As long as you don't say anything, nothing will happen."
"This …"
Seeing Song Shishan hesitate, Song Kexin added, "How about this? If you're still worried, after the surgery, I'll bring you to the Lin family's house. You shouldn't have to worry about anything if you live in the Lin family's house."
Song Kexin's words were indeed a delaying tactic. As long as Song Shishan agreed to do the matching, the rest could be dealt with later.
…
The two of them continued to talk. It was still Song Kexin trying to persuade Song Shishan.
Because the two of them spoke softly, Gu Xi could only lean closer to the phone to listen.
Just as Gu Xi's face was about to touch the screen, Gu Shao held her forehead and pushed her head away.
"You don't want your eyes anymore?" Gu Shao said sternly.
Gu Xi: "…" Although, but …
Why did Gu Shao push her head away? And it happened to be the same spot where she had been hit just now.
— — It hurts …
Gu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears.
— —
On the other side, Wang Wu, who was holding the phone and making a report, tensed up when he heard Gu Shao's reprimand. He felt a chill run down his spine as he frantically tried to recall if he had heard or seen anything he shouldn't have.
"S-Sir?"
"Has the matching been done?" Gu Shao asked.
"Yes, it was done at a private hospital. The investor of this hospital has some connections with Lin Yize."
"What's the result?"
"The matching was successful, but …" Wang Wu changed the topic and said, "Song Kexin didn't immediately agree to accept Song Shishan's lung arrangement."
After the matching, Song Kexin could still use Song Shishan's lung.
However, during the examination, the hospital also discovered that Song Shishan's lung indicators weren't very good.
After all, Song Shishan wasn't young anymore. Naturally, his lungs weren't young either. Furthermore, he had some minor ailments. In addition, Song Shishan had smoked before, so his lungs weren't very healthy.
After receiving the examination report, Song Kexin hesitated because he didn't like Song Shishan's lungs.
— —
At this moment, Wang Wu, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't know that Gu Xi was right next to Gu Shao. Therefore, he directly expressed his concerns over the phone. "I think that Song Kexin might not have given up on Miss's organs."
Compared to an old and sickly lung, Gu Xi's was of course better.
Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi and said, "I got it." Then, he hung up the phone.
"Xixi?" Gu Shao called out to Gu Xi.
"Ah?" Gu Xi, who was called, turned around and looked at Gu Shao.
Although Gu Xi had already guessed Lin Yize and Song Kexin's plan when she found out about the existence of an "organ donation application form" from Gu Shao when she left the Lin family, Gu Xi still felt complicated when she heard it clearly from someone else.
Gu Shao gently placed his palm on Gu Xi's forehead.
Gu Xi: "…" She knew that Gu Shao was trying to comfort her, but why was he touching the spot where she had been hit just now?!
Gu Xi complained in her heart. However, she heard Gu Shao say to her in an affirmative tone, "Don't be afraid."
"An organ donation application form has already been invalidated."
Furthermore, he would never allow an accident like the last one to happen again.
Gu Xi nodded. She knew that she would be fine in the Gu family with Gu Shao around. However, she still felt uneasy when she heard about such things.
Gu Xi looked straight at Gu Shao again.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shao asked.
"I don't want to risk my life to save her." Gu Xi's voice was weak, but her tone was very firm.
Whether it was selfishness or familial ties, she did not want to risk her life to save Song Kexin. She did not want to do so at all.
"Am I being a little too cold-blooded?" Would others think that she was too cold-blooded?
Gu Xi asked Gu Shao softly.
Before Gu Shao could speak, Gu Xi hurriedly added, "But I just don't want to save her. You are different. If something happens to you, I will definitely do everything I can to save you!"
Gu Xi's eyes were burning and full of determination.
Gu Shao: "…" Previously, she wanted to arrange a grave for him. Now, she was even considering if something happened to him?
Gu Shao suspected that Gu Xi was doing it on purpose to take revenge on him for accidentally pressing her forehead just now.
—
"Here it is!" Thinking of something, Gu Xi suddenly jumped down from the sofa. Then, she bypassed Gu Shao and ran to Fang's desk to pick up the schedule that Xu Bei had sent over.
However, Gu Xi did not immediately hand it over to Gu Shao. Instead, she carried it on her back and hid the information behind her.
"What is it?" Gu Shao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"A very beautiful lady came to the office to look for you just now," Gu Xi said slowly.
"Lady?" Gu Shao was stunned.
Obviously, Gu Shao had filtered out the prefix "very beautiful".
"Who is it?" Gu Shao asked and frowned slightly.
Although there were several female secretaries in the president's office, except for Xu Fei and Chen Ziyang, no one else was allowed to enter his office without permission.
"I don't know her," Gu Xi shook her head and said casually while carefully observing the changes in Gu Shao's expression.
Then, Gu Xi realized that after hearing what she said, Gu Shao's face was calm except for a frown and displeasure.
Gu Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, she could not help but despise herself in her heart.
— — She just wanted to observe whether Gu Shao had any intention of finding a stepmother for her. However, after thinking about it carefully, this did not seem to be something she should care about.
Could it be that her brain circuit had become melodramatic because of the recent memories of the male and female protagonists in the novel?
Gu Xi complained and then put away her thoughts. She said seriously to Gu Shao, "Her surname is Xu. I think Uncle Yang found her to temporarily replace him. She said this is for you."
As Gu Xi spoke, she handed the stack of schedules to Gu Shao.
Gu Shao nodded. After flipping through two pages of the schedule, he knew what it was and roughly knew the person who would come.
"These are some lectures and skills meetings that I will be invited to attend in the next semester," Gu Shao explained to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was full of curiosity and leaned over to take a look.
There were many arrangements inside. Not only were there from A University, but there were also some from other universities. There were also some from overseas.
Gu Xi did not need to say anything. Seeing her bright eyes, Gu Shao had already guessed what Gu Xi wanted to say.
"If you perform well enough and finish your homework obediently, I can take you in." Gu Shao said. Suddenly, he realized that the two requests he made did not seem to be a "threshold" for Gu Xi.
"Really?!"
"Within ten."
"I have to choose carefully." Gu Xi flipped through the schedule with a smile and began to choose carefully.
On this side, Gu Xi was in high spirits as Gu Shao left the office.
Gu Shao did not have a meeting. Instead, he called in the heads of NTN's secretarial and security departments to give them a scolding. He also emphasized very seriously that unrelated people were not allowed to enter his office without his permission.
—
On the way home, Gu Xi leaned against the car window and stared blankly outside. Once again, she thought of the plot of the novel, or rather, a few key points in the novel.
The first half of the novel was about the process of the male and female protagonists, Lin Yize and Song Kexin, from abuse to love. In the second half of the novel, except for the male protagonist's road to riches, most of the chapters were about the shameless married life and sweet love life between the male and female protagonists.
Because the content was similar, Gu Xi could not understand the sweetness in it. Therefore, when she browsed through this part, Gu Xi subconsciously chose to skip it.
Thinking about it again, it seemed that there were a few important points in the story that Gu Xi had neglected.
In the novel, there was a part of the plot that directly jumped from Lin Anxin's second year of junior high to high school.
The process in the middle was not recorded too much. It was simply summarized in one sentence.
However, when she thought about it carefully, there were actually a lot of clues.
For example, Song Kexin met a rich lady abroad who was very helpful to the Lin family because she had actually lived abroad for at least half a year. The novel did not mention why she had gone abroad.
It also said that after experiencing some twists and turns, Song Kexin had a great awakening and had a unique temperament that others could not compare to. The novel also did not mention what the twists and turns were.
A few years later, at the beginning of the novel, there was only one sentence: "Under Lin Yize's careful care, Song Kexin has become more and more radiant in the past few years …"
Therefore, it was very likely that in the novel, Song Kexin had also experienced a relapse of his old illness.
It was not that it did not happen, but that it was not mentioned in the novel.
In the second half of the novel, "Lin Xi," who was rarely mentioned, was also mentioned in a few sentences. However, it was said that "Lin Xi" had become ruthless, twisted, and crazy. Her morbid and bloodless face always had an unsettling madness that made people uncomfortable. She started to frame the people around her, and in the end, she suffered the consequences of her own actions.
Gu Xi was not sure if she would do something so low-level as to frame others if it was really her. However, the time when "Lin Xi" disappeared from the novel and when Song Kexin went abroad was such a coincidence.
— — If it was not a coincidence, could it be that in the novel, Song Kexin had really replaced "Lin Xi's" organs and used the same method that she and Song Shishan had used to replace "Lin Xi's" organs? That was why "Lin Xi" did not die.
The details that could not be connected were pieced together bit by bit in Gu Xi's mind.
The more she thought about it, the closer Gu Xi felt to the truth, and the more she shuddered.
Just as Gu Xi could not help but shudder and goosebumps appeared on her cheeks, a coat was wrapped around Gu Xi.
It was warm and had a scent that made Gu Xi feel at ease.
— —
Less than two days after Song Shishan and Song Kexin met, Song Shishan found Gu Shao using the number that Wang Wuer had given him.
When Wang Wuer heard that Song Shishan wanted to meet him, Gu Shao was not surprised. It was as if he had expected it.
This time, the two of them met in a business tea shop owned by the Gu family.
"Have you thought it through?" Gu Shao did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes, yes," Song Shishan stammered.
Even though this was not the first time he had met Gu Shao, the person in front of him still made Song Shishan feel a sense of fear.
Song Shishan trembled as he picked up the teacup in front of him. Then, he put it down and licked his dry lips before saying, "That incident back then and two lives were indeed caused by Lin Yize. And I can prove that he was the one who deliberately tried to kill Fang."
"I can prove that I will cooperate with you no matter what you want me to do. But I am innocent. I don't know anything. So I beg you, you must help me. Don't let me go to jail …" Song Shishan blurted out his plan.
He did not have any other plans. He just did not want to get into trouble.
After Song Shishan finished speaking, he thought that Gu Shao would consider it or bargain with him like Song Kexin and Lin Yize. Unexpectedly, Gu Shao nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay."
Seeing this, Song Shishan mustered up his courage and made a request. "I have another request."
"Speak."
"I will cooperate with you. If I tell you everything about Lin Yize, you have to guarantee my safety."
Gu Shao replied without hesitation, "Okay."
"Also, I will give you a sum of money."
After saying this, Gu Shao added, "It's not a reward. I am only giving it to you because of my daughter."
Compared to Song Kexin and Zhang Cui, although Song Shishan was afraid of death and had many bad habits, at least he still had a trace of humanity left in him. He had not done anything unforgivable.
In terms of blood relations, Song Shishan could be considered Gu Xi's grandfather. Giving him a sum of money for his retirement was not a big deal.
Song Shishan probably still didn't know that he was cheated out of a large sum of money in the end. He was even threatened by his creditors to kill him if he didn't pay up. This matter was actually Song Kexin's doing.
As for Song Shishan's visit to ask for money, Song Kexin and Lin Yize had deliberately led him to the restaurant where the incident had taken place.
Their goal was to cause Song Shishan to fall into the hands of Lin Yize or Lin Yize's family. This would solve the problem of Song Shishan and prevent him from shamelessly asking her for money. It would also prevent outsiders from knowing that Mrs. Lin had a good-for-nothing gambling addict for a father.
Hearing Gu Shao's words, Song Shishan also thought of the skinny girl who always followed Song Kexin and Zhang Cui closely. She was not liked by the Lin family and was slightly stunned.
The last time they had met was at the entrance of Song Village. At that time, Gu Xi looked like she would be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Is the child doing well with you now?" Song Shishan asked with concern.
Gu Shao did not say much and only replied, "Very well."
Song Shishan nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying again, "The child …"
"If it's possible, do you think you can save the child's mother's life?"
The child's mother was naturally referring to Song Kexin.
He could ignore Zhang Cui, but Song Kexin was his biological daughter after all.
Song Shishan had only mentioned this and did not expect Gu Shao to agree.
However, to Song Shishan's surprise, Gu Shao actually agreed.
"I can guarantee that she will live," Gu Shao said calmly.
Unlike Song Shishan's intention and gratitude, Wang Wu, who was standing at the side, secretly laughed when he heard Gu Shao's words.
Based on his understanding of his husband, the word 'live' was not that beautiful. As long as she was alive, it was fine. As for the quality … Haha.
— —
After Song Shishan left, Gu Shao instructed his men to start moving.
Three days later, a piece of news appeared on the internet: Chairman Lin was arrested.
