62: There are some people we can't afford to mess with.
Lei Zhen and Gu Qingcheng emerged from the office, their spirits low.
"Senior Sister, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to help you earn merit, but now it seems not only will we not earn any, but I've also implicated you, and even your father."
Gu Qingcheng was still lost in her disappointment.
She said dejectedly, "I never thought catching a bad guy could be so complicated."
After speaking, she looked at Lei Zhen again, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret what?"
"Because you offended powerful officials by catching someone. Didn't you still want to become a full-fledged police officer? Now it seems difficult."
"Hmph, what's there to regret?" Lei Zhen waved his hand indifferently, "If I want to be a police officer, no one can stop me. Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll make sure they have a hard time."
"What? You still want to investigate?" Gu Qingcheng seemed to hear a hidden meaning in his words.
"Of course." Lei Zhen said, "I'm a bare-assed person, why should I be afraid of someone wearing pants? As long as I find those children who were locked up and expose it directly online, I don't believe they can cover it up!"
Gu Qingcheng said, "Aren't you afraid of hitting a rock with an egg?"
"When a man does things, the more difficult it is, the harder he has to push." Lei Zhen's expression was firm, "Organ trafficking might not be an isolated case in our Great Xia or even Jiangcheng. Have you ever thought, if Zhang Bo resells those children, aren't they at risk of being harvested at any time?
So, even for the sake of those children, I must bring that bastard surnamed Zhang to justice."
As Lei Zhen spoke these words, his entire being glowed with a golden light, and his image seemed to grow taller.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned. She never expected that this scoundrel in her eyes actually had such a righteous side!
"Alright, I support you, but you have to take me with you." Gu Qingcheng's expression was firm.
Lei Zhen looked down at Gu Qingcheng, "Are you sure? If you lose your job because of this, don't blame me."
Gu Qingcheng immediately linked arms with him, "Don't forget, I'm the real police officer. Can a police officer who doesn't dare to fight against dark forces still be considered a police officer?"
"Well said." Lei Zhen gave her a thumbs up, "People's police for the people, willing to shed blood to forge the police soul. Come, Senior Sister, accept my bow."
"Hahahaha, aren't you being a bit too exaggerated?"
"This is my respect for you, Senior Sister. To celebrate our strong alliance, let's go eat hotpot. Your treat."
"Alright, let's go now." Gu Qingcheng waved her hand, but then suddenly realized, "Why me?"
"How much do I earn in a month?" Lei Zhen chuckled, "How about this, you treat me to a meal, and I'll treat you to a sleep?"
"Get lost..."
The news that Lei Zhen was still staying in the hospital soon reached Zhang Bo's ears.
Zhang Bo had met Lei Zhen once before and knew that it was this guy who had ruined his good deed.
In fact, for Zhang Bo, the heart transplant surgery for Secretary Kang's youngest son held extraordinary significance.
As long as this surgery was completed, he would be deeply bound to Secretary Kang.
He had also heard that Secretary Kang would soon be promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. With such a powerful backer, his future was boundless.
But he never expected that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
And he was an Auxiliary Police Officer!
Upon learning that Lei Zhen was still in the hospital, Zhang Bo was even more confused.
What exactly did this little Auxiliary Police Officer want to do?
Monitor me?
As Zhang Bo was still pondering, the office door suddenly opened.
He looked up and saw that it was Secretary Kang's wife standing at the door.
Her full name was Chen Shurong, a professor at a certain university, and everyone called her Professor Chen.
"Director Zhang, how is my son doing?" She asked as soon as she entered, clearly anxious.
Kang Shaokun was currently still in the ICU, his ischemic heart disease already in its terminal stage, relying on a ventilator to maintain normal life functions. He was practically half-dead.
In fact, even with a heart transplant, Kang Shaokun's chances of survival were less than 40%.
Zhang Bo dared not conceal anything and could only truthfully inform her of Kang Shaokun's condition.
"At this rate, how much longer can my son last?" Chen Shurong's face was filled with anxiety.
"About 10 to 15 days."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shurong's face grew even uglier.
Her eldest son, Kang Minghao, had been ruined by drug addiction, and this second son, who was excellent in both character and academics, was her last hope. If this son was also gone, the Kang Family would be completely without hope.
"What about the surgery? Can the surgery still be done?"
Zhang Bo paused, not answering immediately.
Kang Shaokun had RH-negative blood, which is commonly known as panda blood. For such individuals undergoing heart transplant surgery, not only does the ABO blood type need to match, but the RH blood type also needs to be matched as closely as possible, making it extremely difficult to find a donor.
Two years ago, Zhang Bo received the task of performing a heart transplant for Secretary Kang's son, and the other party promised that as long as Zhang Bo could complete the son's heart transplant, the Kang Family would become his eternal backing.
It was from that time that Zhang Bo embarked on the irreversible path of organ trafficking. He found people to abduct a large number of homeless children from all over the country, secretly engaging in illegal activities while helping Secretary Kang's son find a donor.
As a result, he finally found one, but it was ruined by Lei Zhen's rash interference.
Now that child had been rescued by the police and was taken in by a local orphanage.
"Professor Chen, the surgery has always been possible, but now the police have someone specifically watching me, and the donor is no longer in my hands."
"The police sent someone to watch you?" Chen Shurong was stunned, "Why don't I know about this?"
"It's that guy who ruined our good deed. The Auxiliary Police Officer who was injured catching a wanted criminal a while ago, he was quite popular online."
"What's his name?" Chen Shurong asked.
"Lei Zhen, currently with the Qinghe Police Station." Zhang Bo replied.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot. He's just an Auxiliary Police Officer. Do you need to be afraid? You don't need to worry about this person, I'll find a way to deal with him."
Chen Shurong continued, "You just need to tell me one thing: can my son's heart still be replaced?"
Zhang Bo thought for a moment, then said with difficulty, "If we continue now, the pressure from the police will indeed be very great."
The fear on Zhang Bo's face immediately made Chen Shurong's face darken.
"Section Chief Zhang, don't forget who got you out of trouble. If it weren't for me, do you think you'd still be sitting in this bright office talking to me?"
Chen Shurong's distorted face made Zhang Bo dare not look directly at her. He could tell that this strong mother had gone all out for her son.
If Kang Shaokun died, he would completely lose the protection of the Kang Family, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Zhang Bo thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Professor Chen, please rest assured, I dare to do anything for Young Master Kang, but there are indeed some difficulties right now. I can go all out, but I need Secretary Kang's support!"
Chen Shurong said, "How do you want support? Tell me."
"First, you need to ask Secretary Kang to get my subordinates out."
"Alright, what about the donor?" Chen Shurong asked.
"The donor is still the same child as before. I know the caretaker at that orphanage, so I can find a way." Zhang Bo said.
"Xiao Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you." Chen Shurong's tone became gentle, "Once Xiao Kun's illness is cured, you will be a benefactor to our Kang Family, and we will not forget you."
Zhang Bo quickly bowed and said, "Professor Chen, you flatter me. As I said before, it is my honor to be able to do things for Secretary Kang."
