I felt my legs weaken, nearly collapsing to the ground. Thankfully, she was alright. I sat by my sister's bedside, watching her for a while. Her face was so thin, only as big as a palm, still marked by the impressions left by the respirator during her recent rescue.
I decided to get some warm water to wipe her face. The hot water tank in the consciousness disorder ward was always malfunctioning, so I headed to the neighboring cardiothoracic ward instead.
Just as I reached the water room, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind the fire door— it was Wang Jiu Ye! What was he doing here? I quietly approached the door and peered through the glass seal.
Indeed, it was Wang Jiu Ye. He stood next to the freight elevator, speaking with a doctor in a white coat. His demeanor was… strange. He had completely lost his usual sinister and shrewd expression; he looked anxious.
I pressed myself against the wall, finding a spot where I could hear their conversation clearly.
“Old Li, my son’s condition… he can’t hold on much longer. You need to find a way to buy him some more time.”
“Wang Jiu, the child’s heart has reached its limit. RH negative blood type hearts are incredibly hard to find…”
Wang Jiu Ye suddenly interrupted him, “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already found a matching source; at most, in three or four days, I can get a fresh one.”
The doctor clearly paused for a moment, “Where did you find it?”
“You know, that ‘Turkey Vulture.’ I’ve been working with him for so many years; he’s always efficient. Besides, I’m paying a hefty price this time.”
Hearing “Turkey Vulture,” my body instinctively shuddered. My blood type was RH negative…
At that moment, the elevator doors opened. Wang Jiu Ye held the doors open with his hand and turned back to look at the doctor.
“Old Li, put away that troubled expression. I’ll tell you this: for my son, I would do anything! Besides, that woman owes me three million; using her heart to settle the debt is only fair!”
The elevator doors closed.
Before the doctor came out, I slipped into the water room.
It turned out that Wang Jiu Ye not only wanted the insurance money I could provide with my life, but he also wanted my heart! He didn’t care how I arranged my accidental death because he had already hired a killer.
I hired the Turkey Vulture to kill me, and Wang Jiu Ye also hired the Turkey Vulture to kill me. The Turkey Vulture didn’t know that I was another employer, but by killing one person, he could earn two commissions—what a windfall! Wang Jiu Ye cleared his debts and got my heart to save his son; he was profiting immensely.
So, it seems I was the only one losing out?
Two days later in the morning, after finishing my work at the club as usual, I arrived at the hospital. I pushed open the door to the ward, and as soon as I stepped inside, I sensed something was off—there was a faint, unfamiliar smell in the air.
Before I could think further, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the door! It covered my mouth and nose, while another hand expertly gripped my throat.
“Don’t move; it will be over soon.”
It was a woman’s voice! The Turkey Vulture was a woman! It was only the sixth day; we hadn’t even reached our agreed date yet. Wang Jiu Ye’s son must have been too impatient…
Through the glass on the door, I saw that the nurse’s station outside was empty. The arrangement was quite meticulous; an insider had already sent everyone away in advance.
Suddenly, I gathered all my strength and slammed backward, driving my elbow hard into the Turkey Vulture’s ribs. She let out a muffled groan, and her grip loosened slightly. Seizing the opportunity, I struggled free and spun around sharply.
