"If I found her, do you think I would deliberately hide her and not give you her bone marrow?" Li Ang asked coldly.
"When we came to this country, you said that there was a matching bone marrow source here. How could it be that we haven't found it for so long?
"I have to save Shen Tong. We also agreed that if you found the bone marrow to save Shen Tong, I will give you the antidote. Now that there is no bone marrow, I naturally can't give you the antidote," Sikong Jue said.
Li Ang's heart tightened at the thought of Shen Tong. That frail girl's life was like a candle in the wind and rain that could be extinguished at any time.
Shen Tong was Sikong Jue's master's daughter, his junior sister. When his master was dying, he entrusted Shen Tong to him and asked him to take good care of Shen Tong. However, he did not expect that Shen Tong would develop leukaemia and need a bone marrow transplant. No matter how hard he'd tried, he couldn't find a bone marrow that could successfully match the girl.
One day, Li Ang found him and agreed to help him find the bone marrow to save Shen Tong. He then concocted an antidote that could cure the poison in Gong Mochen's body. Thus, their agreement was signed.
Li Ang's brows were furrowed. Back then, he had used his connections to find out that there was indeed a donor's bone marrow in the neighboring nation's bone marrow vault. It could be matched with Shen Tong's bone marrow successfully, but the donor's name and address were kept secret.
He had asked his men to steal this person's name and address. However, he hadn't expected that the person who could be matched with Shen Tong successfully was actually Ye Wei!
If it was someone else, he could search for them without hesitation. Whether it was money or threats, he could get the bone marrow. However, this was Ye Wei. If Ye Wei knew who the donor was, then Gong Mochen would also know.
What else could he use to threaten Gong Mochen to make him hand Qin Sheng over to him?
"Because I didn't find the bone marrow for Shen Tong, you plan to rely on Gong Mochen?" Li Ang said coldly.
"I'm not relying on Gong Mochen. Would I use Shen Tong's life to make a joke?" Sikong Jue said.
As part of the agreement, Shen Tong had to be handed over to Li Ang. Li Ang would take care of her, so Shen Tong was now in Li Ang's hands.
"If you aren't in cahoots with Gong Mochen, why would his people be found outside Shen Tong's villa? How would he know where Shen Tong is?" Li Ang questioned.
That was the reason why he came to Sikong Jue in a hurry to ask for the antidote...
Sikong Jue frowned. "Whether you believe me or not, I haven't said a word to Gong Mochen!"
"For the sake of our agreement, you'd better give me the antidote first. I won't go back on my word. When have I never fulfilled my promise? Give me the antidote, and I can save Shen Tong," Li Ang said.
Li Ang had already realized that he had to get the antidote first to get Qin Sheng from Gong Mochen. Then, he would go to Ye Wei to get the bone marrow to donate to Shen Tong. That order must not be messed up!
"Then we have nothing to talk about. I must see that the bone marrow is transferred into Shen Tong's body first. Otherwise, don't even think I'll give you the antidote!" Sikong Jue said.
Li Ang's lips were pursed, his eyes were deep and reserved. "Alright, I'll go retrieve the bone marrow. You prepare the medicine!"
He stood up and walked out of Sikong Jue's room, his brows pressed down. If he wanted the bone marrow, he had to get to Ye Wei!
Sikong Jue looked at the dark night outside the window. There was not a trace of starlight in the dark night, like Shen Tong's life.
'Master, don't worry, I will definitely save Shen Tong!' he thought to himself.
He was one of the top pharmacists in the world. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to concoct the bone marrow that Shen Tong needed!
When he thought of the girl who had been weak since she was young, he found it difficult to even breathe. Without a master, there would be no Sikong Jue. Because he had inherited a congenital heart disease, he was thrown onto the street by his family when he was born.
Because being born also meant death for him. He shouldn't have come into the human world.
His master had brought him home to be raised. He had used up his entire life's medical skills and pharmaceutical technology. He had also crawled through the gates of hell for more than ten years before he had managed to save his own life.
He, who had inherited a heart disease, was destined not to have a child, because the child would be destined to have the same congenital heart disease as him. The chances of him living to *****hood were basically zero.
He couldn't bear to let his own child suffer like he had suffered back then...
Shen Tong was his master's only child. His choice in life was to save on Shen Tong.
Thinking of his illness, he shook his head helplessly and thought of the silly girl who'd wanted to marry him and give birth to his child.
The corners of his lips twitched. Fortunately, everything had been resolved. For Chu Xia, this was the best ending.
After a long time, he turned back from the window and saw a man sitting in the room.
His body trembled. He'd been so distracted that he didn't hear anyone enter!
"CEO Gong, don't you knock when you enter a room?"
Gong Mochen curled the corners of his lips. "I know you don't mind. Who lives in Li Ang's villa? Tell me, or my men can just go in and capture them."
Sikong Jue's face twitched. "Aren't you too arrogant? You want to go in and capture them? Do you think the Duke's men are all useless?"
"There will only be two results. One is that my men will take the person away, and the other is that Li Ang will think you betrayed him, so he will send that person on their way," Gong Mochen said.
Sikong Jue clenched his fists. "That's ruthless! Why do you hurt me like this?"
"Because you have my antidote. If you're clever enough, are you willing to hand it over to me? I can still promise you whatever Li Ang promised you. I think the best choice for you now is to tell me the truth.
"Otherwise, I'll give an order and my men will rush into Li Ang's villa. It won't be good if he mistakes you for a traitor and kills the person in the villa," said Gong Mochen softly.
His words were like heavy weights, smashing into Sikong Jue's heart.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" Sikong Jue sneered.
"No," Gong Mochen said coldly.
"My junior sister Shen Tong lives in the Duke's villa. She has leukaemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Li Ang promised to help me find the source of the bone marrow. If you can find the bone marrow and cure my junior sister, I can give you the antidote!" Sikong Jue said without a choice.
"I can promise you this. I will take Shen Tong away," Gong Mochen said.
Sikong Jue's heart sank. Gong Mochen wasn't negotiating, he was giving an order.
"No, the Duke will kill my junior sister if he knows!" Sikong Jue said immediately.
"She won't die if you do as I say. Take this as notice that I'm informing you to prepare the antidote." Gong Mochen stood up and walked towards the door.
Sikong Jue glared at the man as he left and asked, "What is it with this grudge between you and the Duke? And what does Qin Sheng have to do with it?"
