Hearing Lao Guo’s words, Yu Ge thought, ‘that’s right, In the eyes of a rich man, 200,000 really wasn’t a lot’.
Although she’s been in this business for several years, all her savings added up couldn’t even afford half of the vehicle she was now sitting in. The boss could actually afford it… She was at the bottom of the ladder, and if she secured an order worth 300,000, she could only get a few tens of thousands. As for the boss at the top, it was only natural that he had the biggest share.
Thinking this far, Yu Ge stared at the middle-aged man. He was balding, but he still looked alright. If they could hook up, she wouldn’t need to do this. Being a mistress wasn’t too bad.
Yu Ge thought about this while she chatted a bit more with Lao Guo. She made a phone appointment for tomorrow to let Lao Guo bring the materials and then left to help look for a donor.
Lao Guo drove Yu Ge back to the hospital. Yu Ge took her car back and left, and the police directly followed her up.
Inside the Land Rover, Lao Guo felt his sweaty forehead and wiped it off. He said quietly, “You don’t know that that woman in the passenger seat just now slept for the entire trip! I was just like a chauffeur!”
Fang Zhi laughed and teased, “Aren’t you one?”
Lao Guo said awkwardly, “You were watching the whole time; what’s there to say? What do you think is up with that woman?”
Gu Xizhou turned over the situation in his mind and said, “She looks pretty good. I bet she’s interested in you, the ‘local tycoon’.”
Lao Guo nodded. After that woman got off, she suddenly twisted her ankle and fell, grabbing his trousers on the way down. Her fearless hand even groped his dick, making him really embarrassed.
Lao Guo agreed, “I didn’t expect to be a police officer who not only needs acting skills, but also has to sell his body! Leader Gu, my spirit’s been grievously wounded; remember to get the department to compensate me!”
“There’s no compensation,” Gu Xizhou said.
“Just kidding, don’t be so serious, Leader Gu.” Lao Guo turned his head and said, “But if this woman wants to hook up with me, we can take advantage of it even if she wants money.”
Gu Xizhou considered Lao Guo’s suggestion and nodded. “Let’s talk about it later… When you see her again, act a little more… suggestive.”
Lao Guo: “……” No one told me that being a police officer meant acting on the fly, but also being sexually harassed and having to pretend to love it!
“Lao Guo, it’s been hard on you!” Gu Xizhou patted Lao Guo’s shoulder. “You can’t just refuse that woman, can you? Otherwise the case will really stall. You have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the victims! I believe sister-in-law will understand you!”
Lao Guo heard Gu Xizhou mention his wife and frowned, concerned. If his wife knew about this, would she break his third leg?
Gu Xizhou took out his phone and sent a phone number to Lao Guo. “Later, drive back to the hospital and take the fake report they helped us make. The phone number belongs to the doctor Xiang Yuan found for us. There’s also an address where you’ll live tonight.

“For the next few days you’re a local tycoon.”

Although they could investigate slowly, he really couldn’t wait. He really wanted to catch these people!
If what Xiang Yuan’s teacher said was true, these people were the same as the ones from that year!
These people actually hadn’t been caught yet. Gu Xizhou clenched his hand into a fist…
Tomorrow was the day!
Gu Xizhou dragged his exhausted body back home. After eating a simple dinner, he immediately lay down on the bed to rest.
Drip.
Drip.
Blood flowed unceasingly… It was pitch black. He was climbing the stairs when he was stabbed by someone from behind. He knew he’d bled too much, and his life was fading away.
“Weren’t you going to kill someone? Why did you bring two back?” He heard a voice.
His eyelids were too heavy to lift, and he could only listen to the voice drone on. Someone was having a conversation.
“They need to die anyway. We can take them back and see if they’re a match for anyone, then we can earn a lot of money. You’ve sold too many recently, and there aren’t many people left.”
“Fuck this is a cop!”
“So what if it’s a cop? They die just the same when you slit their throats.”
A pair of hands pressed down rigidly on the man’s back. They were soft, a woman’s hands. They pressed down on his back to try to staunch the bleeding.
“Hu——”
Gu Xizhou felt the hands on his back, and he couldn’t breathe at all. Every cell in his body seemed to light up in agony, and he was frozen.
Gu Xizhou opened his eyes and saw Si Yu’s gentle gaze. Si Yu’s hand was on his forehead.
Gu Xizhou realized that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had another dream.
“Did you have another nightmare?” Si Yu asked warmly.
Gu Xizhou nodded, not denying it. He really did have a dream about the past, and for some reason, his heart was beating wildly. He had a feeling this case was no coincidence; it was deliberately arranged by ‘it’.
There was an indescribable feeling in Gu Xizhou’s heart, a very dangerous feeling. It had been so many years, but now these people suddenly showed up in front of him!
Gu Xizhou’s fists clenched. His previous death, and these dreams, Gu Xizhou realized they were becoming clearer and clearer.
That girl… and the other person who was captured.
Not to mention his own death.
Gu Xizhou sighed. Soon… it will all be over soon.
Those nightmares about his death…
“You go to bed. I’ll work on the case.” Gu Xizhou took a deep breath and finally said to Si Yu, “I don’t need to sleep.”
Si Yu saw Gu Xizhou like this and was silent for a while before he finally spoke. “If you want to talk to me about anything, I want to listen.”
Gu Xizhou opened his mouth, but he shook his head in the end and went to the study. He grabbed the materials he’d brought home, turning to the last page of the file from 20 years ago and staring at the person in the photo for a while.
This person was him.
It was him.
After he was caught by those people… Gu Xizhou rubbed his head. He had watched as his coworker had his liver removed and died… and that girl…
His memories were like the tide. He didn’t think he would ever meet those people again. This time, he would catch those people, surely!
Not only for their victims, but also for the past.
Gu Xizhou’s nose was sour. This time, he definitely wouldn’t let anyone get hurt!
Just as he was feeling unwell, Si Yu stood outside the study door, placing a glass of water on the table. He then squatted on the ground, hugging his waist to silently comfort him.
The next morning, at dawn, Gu Xizhou felt entirely awake. This case had a unique meaning to him.
Lao Guo went to the hospital yesterday for the forged report, and today he met with Yu Ge once again. He pushed the forged report over to her and said, “This is my son’s information. I’ll leave this matter to you.”
As Lao Guo handed over the information, he lightly brushed Yu Ge’s hand then smiled casually as if he hadn’t done anything.
Just afterward, a foot lightly touched him under the table. Lao Guo: ……
This was too forward; he couldn’t stand it!
Lao Guo had a smile in his eyes. “It’s only been a day since we saw each other, but I missed you.”
Yu Ge ‘en’ed. “Where did you miss me?”
Lao Guo: “I missed you in my heart.”
Yu Ge smiled like a garden of lovely blossoms waving in the breeze. “I think you just want me to handle your affairs more quickly.”
“I do.” Lao Guo winked at Yu Ge and praised her beauty. God knows how hard he studied these words yesterday. Saying them made goosebumps rise all over his body.
After their discussion, Yu Ge left directly, and the police immediately tailed her.
Lao Guo, who was still in the coffee shop, took a deep breath. He really couldn’t bear it. He almost threw up just now. It made him sick when this woman touched him with her bloodied hands.
She could even sell and traffick organs, so her heart couldn’t be described by a word as simple as ‘malicious’.
“Was my acting okay?” Lao Guo asked Gu Xizhou, taking a big breath.
Gu Xizhou nodded. “Very good.”
After waiting a while, Gu Xizhou got a call from Fang Zhi who was doing the tailing.
“Gu Ge, Yu Ge hasn’t met with anyone. She went home,” said Fang Zhi. “She should want to use the information to go find a matching organ.”
“En… it seems like this guy is very cautious. Have the tech department monitor her phone. We should know who she sends the information to soon.”
Fang Zhi nodded. “Yes!”
Opening the door and putting down her bag, the woman loosened her clothes and sat down on her sofa with her legs folded. She took out her phone and took a picture to send to her contact.
The most important thing during this part was to be cautious. When there was no order, she would have no connection with those people. Only when there was business to be done would they contact each other, and it was one-way communication. After settling on a good time and place, as long as the surgery time was set, the goods would be delivered.
Originally, she wasn’t involved in this business at all. In fact, she used to work as a nurse in a hospital. Then, she slowly learned about it and later ended up joining.
There was no need to work night shifts, no need to look at those sick patients’ faces, and no need to be scolded. Every time she saved someone they would be deeply grateful. Even if she sat around doing nothing, she still had money. She could still go shopping every day after buying a house and car. Even though she knew her job was immoral, she was attached to this kind of standard of living. If she left the organization, she wouldn’t be able to live like this anymore.
But now… she had a few thoughts about leaving the organization because this middle-aged man seemed quite taken with her.
If she could get this old man, then she could still have money after leaving the organization. Furthermore, she saved his son, so he should treat her very well.
O.O
So Si Yu and Gu Xizhou died because of the organ theft thing? Or did I misunderstand?
I feel very sorry for Lao Guo 🙁 poor guy
Thank you for the chapter! (^з^)-☆
It seems like it. He doesn’t seem to realize his partner in crime was once a cop tho, even with others realizing the resemblance in photos
So GX used to look just like SY? Is it possible that SY is a ghost possessing GX’s old body…?
It’s not like that. There are 2 cops that got captured. You can think of the rest.
Poor Lao Guo…
».. that’s right, In the eyes of a rich man..« in the eyes (And not sure if “that’s” should be capitalized.)
Lao Guo: I want to go home! QAQ
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
