Pervert

Bai Ge immediately covered his nose, looking at Shao Yuan in horror.

They had grown up together. Although Shao Yuan was a bit older, they were extremely close brothers.

Bai Ge knew him so well that if Shao Yuan had killed a few small animals, Bai Ge would have been used to it.

After all, Shao Yuan was studying medicine, specifically surgery, and had an instinctive disregard for corpses.

Shao Yuan had also disposed of bodies before, burning or burying miscellaneous animal carcasses that were used for practice.

But now, in the bucket filled with aqua regia, was a person…

"What exactly happened? Who is this person?"

Shao Yuan looked at Bai Ge and said, "Wang Qian."

Bai Ge was taken aback. He knew Wang Qian; he was a minor leader in an illegal syndicate.

The reason for saying this was that Wang Qian's father owned a debt collection company. Unlike lone wolves like Bai Ge, that company boasted over a hundred strong and healthy employees.

They not only solved debt problems for people but also engaged in lending and running illegal gambling operations.

"How did you get involved with him? How did he die?" Bai Ge asked.

Finally, under Bai Ge's persistent questioning, the whole story came to light.

Shao Yuan had always believed Bai Ge had a terminal illness. The last time, Bai Ge had clarified the situation, but since he couldn't produce lab reports, Shao Yuan hadn't believed him.

However, he didn't pressure Bai Ge. Instead, he quietly found ways to help Bai Ge get money.

He wasn't getting the money for Bai Ge's sister, but for Bai Ge himself. He knew Bai Ge wouldn't accept treatment without resolving his sister's issues, so he wanted to get more money to lend to Bai Ge for surgery.

But Shao Yuan was just a small doctor with a rundown clinic; even his apartment was rented. If he could have gotten a large sum of money, he would have done so already, and his life wouldn't be like this.

Under these circumstances, Shao Yuan chose to borrow money from Wang Qian.

He wanted to borrow a million dollars directly, willing to bear high interest, just to get Bai Ge into surgery first.

But he was penniless, his clinic was rented, his apartment was rented, and he had nothing to mortgage or any guarantors. How could Wang Qian possibly lend him so much money?

It would have been fine if he couldn't borrow it, but Wang Qian had taken notice of Shao Yuan's surgical skills.

He roped Shao Yuan into his operation, specifically to help their group harvest organs.

When people owed the syndicate a lot of money and couldn't pay, they would sometimes settle the debt with their organs.

This line of work was clearly illegal, but Shao Yuan thought about it and agreed.

He was very adept with his scalpel. Years of practicing on animals had brought his skills to a peak.

He also had a thorough understanding of human anatomy. Although he had only practiced human dissection a few times in school, he seemed to have an astonishing talent for it. After just one or two attempts, he could skillfully remove a kidney.

He actually enjoyed this kind of work; he felt restless if he didn't use a scalpel for a day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been dissecting small animals at home in his spare time and earned the nickname "Veterinarian."

Shao Yuan knew it was illegal, but this kind of work allowed him to earn money quickly and experience live dissections he never had the chance for before.

Moreover, all the people whose kidneys were harvested either owed Wang Qian's company a large sum they couldn't repay, were gamblers who had abandoned their families, or even people who voluntarily sold their kidneys for money.

For these people, if Shao Yuan didn't do it, someone else would. Rather than have unprofessional people cause complications or even death, it was better for him to do it.

For Bai Ge's sake, he turned a blind eye, thinking he would quit once he earned enough money.

Over the next two months, with his exquisite skills, he performed over forty surgeries.

In total, he earned six hundred thousand from Wang Qian.

In fact, by this point, he no longer wanted to continue. On one hand, there weren't that many people needing kidney removal. On the other hand, he had his own savings and could borrow a little more, and the money would be almost enough.

However, Wang Qian did not agree to let him quit. Instead, he threatened him and started forcing him to get involved in even more extreme activities.

For several days, he was closely monitored. Wang Qian's men were present at his home and clinic.

Last night, Shao Yuan was taken to a secret operating room and found a person lying unconscious on the operating table.

Wang Qian ordered him to remove all transplantable organs from the person, including the heart.

A person whose heart had been removed was certainly dead. This was asking Shao Yuan to kill someone.

There was no voluntary participation in this; even if they were willing, they wouldn't be brought here. Shao Yuan naturally refused to comply.

Wang Qian told him that Shao Yuan would be doing more of this in the future and that he had to get used to it.

After saying that, he directly threatened Shao Yuan with a knife. If Shao Yuan complied, he would be one of them. If he refused, knowing so much, they could never let him leave.

Shao Yuan did not explain what happened next.

But from the hatred and self-mockery in his eyes, Bai Ge knew the outcome.

Many things must have happened that night. Shao Yuan had eventually compromised, otherwise, he wouldn't be standing here.

Shao Yuan finally said, "After I got out, I didn't go home. I went directly to my alma mater to get 0.5 grams of sodium cyanide. I had secretly kept it from when I assisted my teacher with demonstrations back in school. It was stored where I used to bury the animal carcasses. I had forgotten about it after graduation, but I never expected to use it now…"

"You poisoned him?" Bai Ge asked.

"I went directly to his house to demand the recording from last night. He didn't hesitate to knock me down. I deliberately continued to provoke him, and he took me to his car to go to the company. On the way, I injected the sodium cyanide solution into his body from the back seat with a syringe. He died very quickly…"

Bai Ge interrupted, "Wait a minute! Which road did you do it on? No, which car on that road?"

Saying this, he opened his computer and immediately hacked into the road network monitoring center.

Shao Yuan stammered, "We got in the car at Hongguang Garden. I made my move on Qingshan Road and put him in the back seat."

Bai Ge operated, asking, "Around what time?"

"Noon."

Bai Ge nodded. "Found him... hmm, the intersection's surveillance caught you driving his car, and then..."

Bai Ge then brought up multiple shots. Seventeen surveillance cameras captured Wang Qian's car, all the way to an intersection near Bai Ge's home.

However, Bai Ge quickly deleted this data and copied some footage from the same time period a few days prior, then edited it in.

"When did you learn these skills? Sorry, I really had nowhere else to go, so I put the body in a bucket and brought it to your place to dispose of it," Shao Yuan said apologetically.

Bai Ge chuckled, "No problem. My place is secluded, and this old building doesn't have many people. You even used chemicals to mask the smell; I didn't even notice until I got inside. By the way, where did the money come from?"

Shao Yuan pointed to the money box. "When I went to buy the concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, I found 1.5 million in his car's trunk. And the other 600,000 was what I earned from him over the past two months."

He sighed, "His company has video evidence of my crimes. Even if Wang Qian had many enemies, they wouldn't suspect me of his disappearance, but I still couldn't escape that company."

Bai Ge scoffed, "Are you stupid? If they handed your evidence to the police, they'd also be exposing their own evidence. They could only threaten you with force. Footage and things like that were just to scare you."

Shao Yuan gave a wry smile, "Even so, I couldn't fight their force..."

Bai Ge said, "Do you regret killing him?"

Shao Yuan blurted out, "Not at all. He deserved to die!"

Bai Ge laughed, "That's good then. You actually did very well. The body was disposed of very cleanly. As long as the body isn't found, it's just a disappearance..."

He then looked out the window at a car downstairs.

"This car is the real trouble. But leave this to me, and this bucket of wastewater too. I'll wipe away all the evidence that could incriminate you."

Bai Ge looked at Shao Yuan and patted his shoulder. "I told you, I don't have a terminal illness."

Shao Yuan frowned, "An MRI wouldn't be wrong."

Bai Ge laughed, "Who says? I have hundreds of ways to interfere with an MRI's results. With an MRI, even if there's a tumor in the brain, it wouldn't appear as a pure black shadow."

Shao Yuan nodded. He had indeed found that pure black shadow strange at the time, which was why he had strongly urged Bai Ge to get further tests to confirm.

"You're really not sick?"

Bai Ge replied, "Really not. I just threw away the test results."

Shao Yuan excitedly stood up and punched Bai Ge in the chest. "Damn it, I really thought you were going to die. And I went to get money for you."

Bai Ge chuckled, "Were you really just doing Wang Qian's dirty work to get money for me?"

Shao Yuan's lips curled into a shamefaced grin. "I'm sorry. Actually, I've also become fascinated with human dissection. That feeling is much more interesting than dissecting animals."

"You're a pervert!" Bai Ge said.

Shao Yuan asked somewhat blankly, "Am I?"

His eyes were quite lost, as if he were genuinely asking Bai Ge.

Bai Ge actually nodded solemnly. "Yes!"
