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. 0
 
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. 0
 
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. 0
 
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. 0
 
I pressed myself against the wall, finding a spot where I could hear their conversation clearly. 0
 
“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.” 0
 
“Wang Jiu, the child’s heart has reached its limit. RH negative blood type hearts are incredibly hard to find…” 0
 
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.” 0
 
The doctor clearly paused for a moment, “Where did you find it?” 0
 
“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.” 0
 
Hearing “Turkey Vulture,” my body instinctively shuddered. My blood type was RH negative… 0
 
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. 0
 
“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!” 0
 
The elevator doors closed. 0
 
 
Before the doctor came out, I slipped into the water room. 0
 
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. 0
 
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. 0
 
So, it seems I was the only one losing out? 0
 
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. 0
 
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. 0
 
“Don’t move; it will be over soon.” 0
 
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… 0
 
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. 0
 
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. 0
