Chapter 1 Who Will Save My Daughter

  • "Doctor, I beg you, please don't stop the medication. Give me two more days."
  • "Just two days, and I will definitely gather enough money for the medical expenses."
  • In the hospital corridor, Jiang Nan held onto the leg of the attending physician, kneeling on the ground and pleading desperately.
  • His mother had kidney failure, and his five-year-old daughter was in the advanced stage of liver cancer.
  • The two most important women in Jiang Nan's life were lying in the hospital room at this moment.
  • They might not have much time left in this world.
  • Bang!
  • The attending physician kicked Jiang Nan in the face, pushing him away, and scolded disdainfully, "Get lost, you cripple."
  • "You want me to give you more time? How can I give you more time with the medical expenses of 300,000 yuan?"
  • "Your mother and your daughter are both on the brink of death. They can't be saved."
  • "If the fees are not paid by this time tomorrow, don't blame me for pushing the two of them into the morgue directly."
  • "After all, although your mother's kidneys and your daughter's liver are useless, the other organs are still viable."
  • "Taking them out can offset some of the costs."
  • "I will gather the money, I promise." Jiang Nan kept kneeling on the ground, making promises repeatedly.
  • But where could he gather the money?
  • He had borrowed from everyone he could, and now his relatives and friends avoided him like the plague.
  • His daughter's liver cancer could be delayed with medication for two more days, but his mother's kidney failure required daily dialysis.
  • Wiping away his tears, Jiang Nan stood up, composed himself, and walked into the hospital room.
  • "Daddy, Daddy, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, Guoguo."
  • Seeing his daughter lying on the hospital bed, unable to even muster the strength to cry out in pain.
  • Jiang Nan's heart was breaking.
  • He approached the bedside and gently touched his daughter's cheek.
  • She was only five years old, an age that should be filled with sunshine and happiness, but she had to endure such immense suffering.
  • Skin and bones, bald, and pale as paper.
  • The tubes on her body had all been removed by the doctors.
  • And they said that as soon as the money was paid, the tubes would be inserted again.
  • Jiang Nan held his daughter in his arms.
  • As if sensing the warmth in her father's embrace, Guoguo, who was in a semi-conscious state, struggled to open her eyes and smiled.
  • "Daddy, Guoguo was just talking nonsense. Guoguo doesn't feel any pain."
  • Seeing his daughter being so sensible, Jiang Nan couldn't help but cry.
  • "Don't be afraid, Guoguo. Daddy is here, nothing will happen to you."
  • "Dad promised to do three things for Guoguo that he hasn't done yet, so Guoguo will be fine."
  • Guoguo nodded vigorously, her small eyes filled with longing: "Daddy promised to braid Guoguo's hair, Guoguo wants to go to kindergarten, and Guoguo wants to eat hot pot."
  • On another hospital bed, a woman looked at her son and granddaughter, both sobbing uncontrollably.
  • "Xiaonan, it's mom who has burdened you. I'm sorry."
  • "Mom, what are you talking about? The doctor just told me that both you and Guoguo's conditions have improved."
  • Jiang Nan comforted, "Don't worry about the money. I invested in a bar with a friend before, and now it's doing well. I can make five or six thousand dollars a day."
  • After comforting them, Jiang Nan placed Guoguo next to his mother and went out to figure out a way to raise the money.
  • Leaving the hospital, Jiang Nan called his ex-wife. After all, Guoguo was also his daughter.
  • "Hello, Xiang, Guoguo urgently needs money for treatment. Can you help with a hundred thousand or eighty thousand dollars?"
  • A voice on the other end of the phone sounded indifferent, "What Guoguo? You mean Orange. Jiang Nan, why are you asking a woman like me for help with your family matters?"
  • "What do you mean by my family matters?" Jiang Nan got angry. "Isn't Guoguo your daughter? This money is just temporary help. I will pay you back."
  • A mocking laughter came from the phone, "Why isn't that little girl dead yet? I don't have the money."
  • "How can you not have money? When we divorced, you took away seven or eight hundred thousand dollars from me." Now, Jiang Nan felt nothing but hatred when he thought about it.
  • He loved Qin Xiang Xiang deeply, especially after she gave birth to their daughter.
  • But he never expected that this woman would spend his money recklessly and demand a divorce every day.
  • Jiang Nan could tolerate all of this, but what he couldn't bear was that she knew their daughter had liver cancer and never came to visit her even once. She was truly heartless.
  • "But I can give you a money-making opportunity," Qin Xiang Xiang suddenly said.
  • "What opportunity?" Jiang Nan suppressed his anger. As long as he could make quick money now, he was willing to give everything.
  • "There's a wealthy benefactor at the underground fighting arena tonight who wants to buy a fight to the death. If you're willing to be the one killed, you can get one million dollars!"
  • "The underground fighting arena?" Jiang Nan instinctively touched his left arm.
  • He used to be a fighter in the illegal fighting scene, but after losing a fight, his left arm was broken and his tendons were severed.
  • The entire left hand was useless.
  • And because of that, Qin Xiangxiang abandoned herself and her daughter.
  • "Do you want to or not? Hurry up and give me an answer," Qin Xiangxiang urged impatiently.
  • "I want to, I want to. As long as there's money, I'm willing to give my life!"
  • "Hehehe!" A triumphant laughter came from the other end of the phone.
  • "Good, tonight at eight o'clock, meet at the underground boxing arena."
  • At eight o'clock in the evening.
  • Jiang Nan arrived at the underground boxing arena wearing the boxing gear he used in the past.
  • This place was filled with testosterone, but also a place where all sorts of people gathered.
  • Qin Xiangxiang, dressed extremely provocatively, twisted her body and walked towards Jiang Nan step by step.
  • There was also a man walking beside her.
  • The man was bald, with a large gold chain around his neck, and his big hands kept kneading Qin Xiangxiang's buttocks.
  • But Qin Xiangxiang had a look of enjoyment on her face.
  • Seeing this scene, anger surged in Jiang Nan's heart.
  • He was all too familiar with this person, his former good friend, Liu Qiang.
  • He never expected that Qin Xiangxiang would abandon him and their daughter for him.
  • "I'm sorry, Nan Ge, for stealing your woman. You don't hate me, do you?" Liu Qiang deliberately taunted in front of Jiang Nan.
  • "As the saying goes, when brothers are present, I refer to her as my sister-in-law. When brothers are absent, I call her my treasure. And now, in front of all of you, I can finally call her my baby, hahaha."
  • With these words, Liu Qiang tightly embraced Qin Xiangxiang and passionately kissed her lips.
  • His hands roamed freely over her body.
  • Qin Xiangxiang not only did not resist, but actively cooperated.
  • Although scenes like this were common in the underground boxing arena, witnessing his ex-wife and former best friend engage in such behavior in front of him made Jiang Nan feel an overwhelming urge to kill.
  • However, he had come here today to seek wealth, so he endured it for the sake of his mother and daughter.
  • "I never expected the two of you to be so affectionate. Liu Qiang, you should have informed me earlier, I would have gladly given her to you."
  • Slap!
  • Liu Qiang slapped Jiang Nan across the face.
  • "Who do you think you're calling Liu Qiang? You better address me as Mr. Liu. And this is your sister-in-law."
  • "Remember this clearly, it wasn't you who gave her to me, it was me who rewarded her to you back then."
  • "I had originally intended to give you the joy of fatherhood, but I never expected to miss my chance and you, you little brat, took it. You fathered that wretched girl."
  • Hearing these words, anger surged within Jiang Nan.
  • He looked at Qin Xiangxiang in disbelief, "Is what he said true?"
  • Qin Xiangxiang admitted openly, "Yes, I married you in the first place to deceive you, but I never expected my plan to backfire."
  • In that moment, Jiang Nan could no longer contain himself.
  • "You bitch, I'm going to kill you." He raised his right fist, aiming for Qin Xiangxiang's face.
  • However, before his fist could connect, Liu Qiang punched him in the stomach, causing him so much pain that he couldn't stand.
  • His strength was no longer what it used to be.
  • "Stop wasting time here. Go and fight for me. You don't want the one million anymore, do you?" Liu Qiang ordered condescendingly.
  • "Do you think I would still trust you two scoundrels?" Jiang Nan seethed with anger.
  • "Do you have the authority to make decisions in my territory?"
  • "Take him down to the iron cage and let him fight."
  • "I have already taken the money. If I don't send someone to their death, how can I make a profit?"
  • Several burly men approached and escorted Jiang Nan away, throwing him into a large iron cage specifically designed for underground boxing matches.
