Mu Jinyu, in his panic, hadn't given it much thought.
Heart transplant surgery is not as simple as just plucking it out and putting it in.
First, his heart had to be checked for compatibility with the wealthy client; otherwise, if it didn't match, removing it would be pointless, and it would end up useless.
And having been in the casino for no more than an hour, how could Li Heshan possibly have confirmed so quickly that his heart was a good match for the wealthy client without much risk of rejection?
They were just trying to scare him.
But caught in the situation, filled with fear in his heart, he hadn't thought of this.
At that moment, he felt that Mu Jinyu and Li Heshan no longer seemed benevolent but had become incredibly evil and terrifying!
Like devils!
Yu Xiuwen shouted frantically, "What you're doing is illegal, the agreement I just signed wasn't official, if you dare to take my organs, you... you will die!"
Mu Jinyu responded with a calm smile, "I have been running an underground casino for years without trouble; do you think I lack the ability?"
At these words, Yu Xiuwen's breathing stalled.
That's right, River City is in the national territory, unlike Haojiang where casinos are legal. Here, casinos are absolutely illegal.
Yet, they had been operating the casino for many years without a single issue, clearly having an incredibly vast network and capability.
Now, all they had to do was get rid of this old man, take some parts for sale, and he had even personally signed an agreement for voluntary donation of body organs.
How could they possibly face trouble?
Mu Jinyu's face bore a cold smile as he said, "Considering you're about to sacrifice yourself for money, I'll let you die understanding. In your next life, remember not to get involved with gambling ever again."
With that, he lightly clapped his hands.
Immediately, a subordinate of Li Heshan entered with a tablet and started playing the surveillance footage just taken.
The footage showed Yu Xiuwen gambling in the casino, and how he was being manipulated by them.
Whether he was winning or losing, it was all arranged by them!
Yu Xiuwen watched the video on the tablet with a dazed expression.
Watching himself getting excessively excited over winning five hundred thousand at one point.
He felt utterly foolish!
All his winnings of ten million yuan were because they were intentionally playing with him, to keep him hooked!
Unfortunately, had he realized it then, he might not have lost ten million yuan of principal money and his life, but could have made twenty million instead.
But he was too greedy.
He wanted to continue winning money.
After all, which gambler wouldn't be aware that there's likely some trickery involved in casino equipment?
But they always harbored some hope, thinking the casino wouldn't dare cheat too overtly, and since they were gambling small amounts, they wouldn't attract the casino's attention to be targeted!
But now, watching how Mu Jinyu manipulated him made Yu Xiuwen's mind collapse!
He wanted to escape and tell everyone that this casino was deceitful, and to never come here to gamble!
Mu Jinyu clapped his hands, signaling the subordinate could leave.
Then, looking at Yu Xiuwen held immobile by two bodyguards, he scoffed, "Thinking of exposing me, aren't you? But I dare show you because I am not afraid of this getting out, given you're about to sacrifice yourself for money."
Yu Xiuwen shivered, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Linglong beside him, calling out anxiously, "Linglong save me! Linglong, my daughter you must save me!"
Yu Linglong stood aside, watching Yu Xiuwen's despair with an indifferent expression.
She even felt a bit like laughing.
"Enough talking, let's go!"
Mu Jinyu, impatient, stood up and spoke to the two bodyguards.
The bodyguard immediately covered Yu Xiuwen's mouth, and then together, they carried Yu Xiuwen out of the door and followed Mu Jinyu upstairs into a room.
As soon as they opened the door, a strong smell of formaldehyde filled the room.
Yu Xiuwen grew even more terrified, wanting to scream for help, but his mouth was covered, and all he could make were muffled noises.
Soon after, the bodyguard carried him into the room.
The moment he entered, he was so frightened that he fainted.
Inside the room, various bottles and jars were displayed, most of which were transparent glass containers, and these containers were filled with formaldehyde-soaked objects.
There were eyeballs, brains, hearts, kidneys...
Yu Xiuwen thought that these parts were harvested from victims just like him and immediately fainted out of fear.
In reality, these human parts weren't personally harvested from bodies at all.
They were from a subordinate of Li Heshan who had a passion for human parts but, due to the current inability to engage in physical confrontations in the jianghu, couldn't personally harvest trophies from his opponents and had to satisfy his cravings by purchasing and collecting them.
Mu Jinyu turned around, saw that Yu Xiuwen had fainted on the spot, and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
He regretfully sighed, "Alas, I went through the trouble of setting up this room like a hospital, even fitting it with some sophisticated equipment, but these collectibles alone were enough to make him pass out."
Mu Jinyu's original plan had been to have Yu Xiuwen lie on an operating table, then pretend to administer an anesthetic, but secretly manipulate his qi points to make him faint.
He would then wrap him up and scare him for a few days.
But that plan turned out to be unnecessary!
"Never mind, this is good too!"
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly and instructed the two bodyguards, "Throw him onto the operating table!"
"Hmm," the bodyguard responded, carrying Yu Xiuwen onto a newly positioned operating table in the room.
"You... you're not really going through with this, are you?!"
Yu Linglong, seeing Mu Jinyu's setup, asked timidly and fearfully.
Mu Jinyu turned and glanced at her, saying without a word, "I'm not short on cash, why would I bother with the real thing?!"
Yu Linglong's hanging heart finally settled back in place.
Mu Jinyu picked up a bundle of bandages and commanded the bodyguards, "Change his clothes to patient's garb, and then wrap a band around his waist like this... like this..."
As he spoke, he turned to Yu Linglong and said, "You better go outside."
After all, changing Yu Xiuwen into patient's clothes wasn't appropriate with his daughter, Yu Linglong, still present.
Yu Linglong understood and walked out.
Leaving Mu Jinyu inside to tinker around.
...
"Hmm..."
Yu Xiuwen blinked, and heavily opened his eyes.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if something had been gouged out.
Dressed in a white coat and wearing a mask, Mu Jinyu looked at him indifferently and said, "Awake? You're lucky, that tycoon is not currently in River City, so we just harvested one of your kidneys. You can live a few more days!"
"Congratulations! Congratulations!"
The bodyguards and Li Heshan, holding back their laughter, clapped and congratulated Yu Xiuwen.
"What?"
Yu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then was left with only one thought, is one of my kidneys gone?
