Chapter 71: In the Cost of Zhishu’s Life (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

Wenxu Jiang's voice came from the other side of the phone with a touch of nonchalance, ”Do you know about Zhiqi Li's son?”

”Zekun Li?” Jingwen Zhang sounded solemn, ”Why do you wanna know about him? Even combining all of us, we can do nothing about him. His dad is a ministry director.”

”The boy is kind of a mystery. He had leukemia too. He had the bone marrow that matched his but that was the one Ziyu Ai got for Zhishu.” Wenxu loosened his collar agitatedly, pushed the door and walked outside in big steps.

Assistant Song got off the car and opened the car door for him in a hurry.

Wenxu Jiang grabbed a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the backseat, took one out and ignited it. ”I'll find him tomorrow,” He gave Assistant Song a gesture, ”Go back that apartment beside fourth ring-road.”

”Wenxu,” Jingwen Zhang lowered his voice, quite imperceptibly, ”Whatever it will end, you'd better kill that thought; they won't be very sensible. Something you might not know but word spread among us, Li really loves his son. And he's in that position, threat or bribery just doesn't work. You'd best keep your mouth shut.”

Wenxu Jiang's cigarette burnt out but he didn't realize until he felt the heat of fire searing his finger. Ashes scattered on him.

”Jingwen, you don't worry about it...” Wenxu Jiang lowered the window, ”You know more people at the hospital than I do. Just go look into Zhishu's medical records; by the way, ask around if there's any marrow that matches his available.”

Jingwen Zhang sighed quietly, ”Wenxu, I know and I've always kept an eye on this. But you should understand... I took some of those pills in the study and had them checked; those are specific medications for terminal patients.” He paused with ineffable heartache, ”It's been too long... Bone marrow cannot help.”

Wenxu Jiang didn't reply.

”Did you find Zhishu?” Jingwen changed the subject.
