Chapter 046: Kidneys x Delicate Wife x Love-Struck Brain "Conclusion"

Keding firmly believed that with Doctor Jiang around, he would involuntarily absorb a vast amount of knowledge during his sophomore year, and by senior year, he would be adept at treating complex ailments, with a bilingual encyclopedia of medical knowledge in his head.

After hesitating for a long time, the young man finally whispered to Doctor Jiang after confirming that Bai Li had gone off to watch TV.

"I'm about to leave."

Jiang Yi softly acknowledged with a warm tone, "I heard about the divorce."

Keding shook his head and smiled, "It's Cunyu's soul coming back."

Jiang Yi continued his work, carefully arranging the mashed carp bones and flesh that Bai Li had destroyed.

"If there's a chance, can I still find you?"

Keding was taken aback and asked, "Of course. But, are we... meeting again in another life?"

"Nothing," Jiang Yi said, "Before you leave, can I scan your neural pathways once?"

"Is this some kind of code?" Keding laughed, "Can you use some magical device to find me in a parallel world through this code?"

Jiang Yi fell silent for a moment, as if acknowledging it implicitly.

"Alright, I'll be your guinea pig."

He was already very happy with the extra tutoring and hands-on guidance from the expert.

Shi Cunyu didn't have much belongings. After selling some jewelry and rings, he had saved up enough money to move into a new place in an affordable residential area.

Someone's defense value had now surpassed the three-thousand mark and was still sporadically updating, likely due to secret gambling.

The system, having nothing better to do, gossiped while taking a god's-eye view, feeling quite sentimental.

"That Huang family has actually tracked him down to Hangzhou."

"The people from the Huang family went to his school, claiming they have insider information from their casinos, guaranteeing wins every time."

"No way," Keding found it absurd, "He actually believes that?"

"The Huang family has been sending gifts and chips non-stop. They have businesses in Las Vegas and Macau," the system pondered, "I guess... Zhou Guanghe really wants a comeback."

After settling Shi Cunyu into his new life, Keding and Jiang Yi agreed on a time and headed to a private medical center in Hangzhou.

The large laboratory was empty, filled with expensive equipment worth billions.

As Keding entered the scanning chamber, he asked through the communication mic on his chest, "Doctor Jiang, why did you erase your real name and become the Bai family's personal doctor?"

"...You could have gone to higher places."

Jiang Yi replied indifferently, "It seems you know many secrets I've tried to erase."

"A little magic from a higher dimension," Keding lay straight inside the scanning chamber, "If you don't want to talk about it, just ignore my question."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment before revealing the truth.

"What I want to study would be shared in any official research institute in any country."

And these were entities beyond dimensions, which must not be used for war or any dangerous and inevitable purposes.

Keding was stunned and looked up at the top of the scanning chamber.

"So, there are many instruments and drugs here that you can borrow?"

No, perhaps even the Bai family doesn't know someone has been using this lab...

"While some aren't as advanced as those abroad, they're sufficient for experiments."

"The Bai family collaborates with many medical institutions and constantly updates their drug lists due to serving the elite."

After the brain structure scan was complete, Keding was slowly pushed out of the chamber.

Jiang Yi helped him up, his tone slightly teasing, "You used to look at me as if you were saying, 'I'll save you from the cage.'"

Keding felt a bit guilty, "Was it that obvious?"

"I am the cage," Jiang Yi said softly, "Be careful, kid."

Keding cleared his throat and turned to look at the nearby precision instruments, lowering his voice, "The things here... you can take whatever you want."

Jiang Yi: "...?"

"It's like this, in a couple of days, the disciplinary inspection team will arrive in Hangzhou, and other cities will send people too."

With the mindset of leaving anyway, Keding revealed everything straightforwardly, "The financial transactions between the Bai and Huang families have been thoroughly investigated. Shi Cunyu will be placed under witness protection, and no one knows where he'll end up."

"You can move everything out yourself with a cargo van, and remember to anonymously return them to the state after use!"

Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement.

In July, the upper class experienced a sudden tsunami-like upheaval.

The news on TV summarized the events in just a few sentences, burying sensitive information amidst entertainment gossip, which no one cared about.

The Huang family suffered heavy losses, and the Bai family disappeared, indirectly affecting many followers across the country.

To outsiders, it seemed like the police had suddenly shut down many loan companies overnight, making it hard to tell whether it was a desperate measure or a thorough cleanup.

Shi Fu was still complaining to his colleagues at work about how tiring it was when the police suddenly appeared before him, snapping a pair of silver handcuffs onto him.

The colleagues were terrified and a group of people in the company ran away.

"Stop running—" the police shouted through a megaphone: "There are also police downstairs!"

"Congratulations to Dad Scum for getting a free meal and lodging package," Keding clapped his hands while watching the broadcast: "Old age with three highs, he'll get a good reform inside and lose weight seriously. Eating tofu every day will definitely make him slim down fast."

Bai Li frantically searched all over Hangzhou for Shi Cunyu, but due to the well-implemented witness protection program, he didn't even know his name anymore.

He no longer had the same revered treatment; his entire family, including himself, was under investigation for illegal activities. The first person he thought of as an informant was Shi Cunyu.

But he couldn't find him, could never find him again.

Keding didn't bother to watch Zhou Scum's specific downfall process, signaling the system to fast-forward.

This university lecturer was lured into online gambling by the Huang family and gradually sank deeper. Every time his family discovered something wrong, he would kneel and beg for forgiveness, only to dive back into cross-border casinos a few days later.

The circle was in turmoil as the Zhou family lost several financial chains. Upon checking the accounts, they found that the second son was deeply involved, having lost nearly six million assets in half a year.

In November, he was finally kicked out.

Vice President Qin announced in the newspaper the severance of relations, refusing to take on any more of Zhou Guanghe's debts.

Zhou Guanghe lost his shelter overnight and had already been expelled from the university due to severe lack of attendance, unable to find any reliable job.

His credit collapsed, reputation ruined, and any company with background checks refused to hire a gambler.

He ultimately chose to deliver food.

The system fast-forwarded at eight hundred times speed until it saw Zhou Guanghe delivering food in the rain and wind before finally stopping.

"He's out on a delivery!"

"Let's go!" Keding rushed forward: "We'll have a chance encounter with him!"

On the way to that neighborhood, Keding kept thinking whether he had been too harsh on Zhou Guanghe.

This person hadn't suffered any physical harm, merely losing all his wealth and living a regular life earning money.

But in the original story, the victim had truly lost a kidney and a life that was already bitter and cold.

Keding's acted love had always been exaggerated and artificial, but Shi Cunyu loved deeply and desperately, ending up obsessed and desperate, completely manipulated.

The scales on both ends of the balance had never been equal, and it still seemed insufficient.

The young man strolled through the neighborhood and was suddenly bumped into by a hurried deliveryman at a corner.

Zhou Guanghe feared the milk tea might spill, so he first checked if the bag had leaked, then looked up and apologized repeatedly.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm really in a hurry..."

The moment he saw Shi Cunyu's eyes, his face turned pale, losing all color.

Before Shi Cunyu could say anything, Zhou Guanghe turned around and ran, fleeing in panic.

System: "...I thought he would force you to admit if you framed him."

Keding: "...Me too."

"This guy is so concerned about his face!!" System: "Although another five hundred breakdown points, his reaction is surprising! Damn!"

Keding: "Maybe his brain is really messed up."

When the third mission ended, Zhou Guanghe's individual breakdown points totaled three thousand six hundred fifty, with the total database reaching six thousand three hundred ninety points.

Keding couldn't wait: "Quickly make me grow five centimeters!"

System: "Ding, five centimeters will grow evenly, fully realized within ten months."

His consciousness slowly withdrew from Shi Cunyu's body, returning to the dreamlike colorful space.

After a long while, the system remained silent.

Keding was a bit nervous: "Are you still there?"

"Sis, you're not dead, right..."

The system said: "Oh, yes, I'm here. It's about time to wake up."

Keding found it strange: "After each mission, you usually tell me about the original owner's situation."

"Could it be—could it be that Shi Cunyu was retaliated against and died!" Keding suddenly felt a chill, nervously saying: "If that's true, we must rewind and redo it. I'll work for free!"

"No, no, he's alive."

"Oh, scared me. So how is he doing?"

A minute passed, and the system remained silent.

Keding was confused: "What's going on..."

"Uh, Shi Cunyu isn't doing well." The system said: "Zhou Guanghe was hit and broke his leg while riding his electric bike against traffic, making local news."

"Shi Cunyu went to the hospital to take care of him and used all his savings to support Zhou Guanghe's business, which was later gambled away."

"Later, Zhou Guanghe repeatedly cheated with small-time gangsters in bars, leaving Shi Cunyu heartbroken and aging quickly, but he never left him."

Keding stood there stunned, just like the system earlier, completely speechless.

He suddenly felt the same shock that Redditors experienced when they were hit hard.

The system was particularly troubled but still said, "Shi Cunyu didn't reward you; he filed a real-name complaint, but it wasn’t accepted by the AI. Then... he also left you a long message. Do you want to hear it?"

She sighed deeply, sounding particularly weary.

"Darling, why don’t we skip it?"

Keding firmly replied, "Listen, just play it."

After a slight static sound, Shi Cunyu's anxious and angry voice came through.

"What are you doing?! Driving away Bai Li and those models was enough, wasn't it? What did Zhou Guanghe do wrong for you to ruin him like this!"

"Do you have any conscience? Where is your morality? This is abuse of power. Guanghe is innocent! Can’t you see that!!"

"I want you to protect my marriage and keep my husband, not go crazy like this!!"

The system was forced to listen to the entire message and wanted to tear its own face off.

"My blood pressure!! My breasts!! Some of my beautiful qualities and spirit!! All gone!!"

Keding maintained his composure and said, "Repeat it again. How did he fare afterward?"

"Penniless, no family, husband cheating, premature aging, heartbroken."

"OK, I feel better," Keding rubbed his face. "It’s time to get up and have breakfast. Today, I’m having big buns!"

"Good! And a large cup of hot soy milk!"

---

"China Construction Bank: Your savings card ending in 1551 has received 94,000 yuan, with a balance of 106,377.5 yuan."

Keding held his phone with both hands, looking reverent.

"Six digits! My bank balance has reached six digits for the first time!"

The system: "Congratulations! Do you plan to buy anything?"

"Your shoes and clothes look old. Want to go to the mall?"

"We’re getting a new dumpling shop at home!" Keding was full of energy. "The old one was small and deep in an alley, so it couldn’t attract customers!"

"So what are you going to buy for yourself?"

Keding thought for a while, a bit shyly: "I... I want to eat at KFC."

The system wished it could hug him and rub his head hard: "Eat! Eat a big meal! I declare today Crazy Friday!"

Keding arranged the reopening of the shop at home, then rode nervously yet eagerly to the nearest KFC.

The last time he had KFC was in fourth grade!

A wealthy classmate had a birthday party at KFC, where the staff put a big crown on him, and every child present got to eat KFC!

Pushing the door open, the air was filled with the scent of freshly fried chicken.

Keding almost shed tears, sniffing deeply.

He couldn’t afford much but liked everything, so he ordered a tart, an original chicken piece, and a box of mashed potatoes.

The system felt it wasn’t enough: "What will you drink, darling! You’ve been drinking hot water every day, which is already very healthy!"

Keding felt embarrassed: "Drinks are expensive too."

"Drink!! Recharge well and earn more money!!"

After a long internal struggle, Keding ordered a glass of Jolly Cola, found a seat, and smiled foolishly at his meal.

He rearranged the four items several times and took a serious photo with his phone.

"Feels great."

The system watched, feeling a lump in its throat, wishing it could shower him with a hundred buckets of fried chicken.

Remembering something, it said as Keding started eating, "Oh right, there’s one more thing."

"Hmm?"

"After you left, Jiang Yi visited Shi Cunyu."

Hearing that name again, Keding’s eyes flickered, a bit sad.

He didn’t have Shi Cunyu’s good looks.

He was a short, ordinary-looking potato, with a plain face and an unremarkable voice, just an average college student.

Doctor Jiang wouldn’t have given him a second glance if he met the original him.

The reason the big shot helped him study and experimented with him, and even joked around, was probably because he had Shi Cunyu’s handsome appearance.

But after leaving that world... he occasionally thought of Jiang Yi, with a touch of cautious admiration.

The system thought the kid was still a bit insecure due to his background and continued, "Jiang Yi noticed Shi Cunyu’s speech returned to normal and didn’t ask further."

"Later, when Shi Cunyu was penniless and nearly starving..."

"Jiang Yi invited him for a brain scan, saying it was part of a previous insurance project, and gave him five thousand yuan for nutrition."

"Do you think... the handsome doctor might try to find you in another world?"

Keding remembered their agreement and shook his head with a smile.

"In another world, I'll have a different face, a new name, and a new body, becoming a different character."

"How could he find me and confirm it's me? Even if he did, what could we say?"

Thinking of this, the young man turned to look out the clear window of the shop.

People passed by, all strangers with unfamiliar faces.

Due to various coincidences or fates, everyone either brushed past each other or held hands.

He sat alone by the window, having let go of his worries.

"Doctor Jiang would probably be surprised to see me and just politely greet me before leaving."

The system said, "Not necessarily."

The new dumpling shop of the Keding family was located near the university, with bright windows and excellent foot traffic, allowing for five or six small tables.

Keding helped his parents find an affordable rental house nearby and, on weekends, helped move the boiler and luggage over.

The friends from the old alley were very enthusiastic, not only helping with moving but also wishing them good luck and prosperity for their new shop.

The new shop had no cockroaches, no dirt, and no dust. The walls were spotless, and the sign gleamed. Everything was simple, fresh, and clean.

When his mother made dumplings, she smiled brightly, praising the new shop endlessly.

Although the previously won therapy center was a bit far, they could take the subway there during their free time each week, spending a little more time.

Keding watched as his father helped his mother change the TV channels while he mopped the floor, laughing.

If he could help cure his parents' illnesses... well.

He needed to save more money and work hard to pursue further studies.

If he could break through some technological barriers in the future, his mother might walk again without needing a wheelchair!

The system listened to Keding humming strange songs in his mind and asked, "Do you think getting five stars is difficult?"

"Actually, it's okay," Keding said. "Even though Shi Cunyu scolded me for a long time via voice messages, I felt a bit hurt at first."

"But when I thought about it carefully, it's part of the job. It's normal for clients to be dissatisfied. My mom's dumplings are so delicious, yet people still pick on them."

"The pay is quick and generous, so I'm already very happy!"

The system hesitated for a moment before pushing the latest task in front of him.

"So... do you want to consider this six-star task?"

"Because it involves some risk, the price is around 200,000, and the task involves only one person, with no third party involved."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can withdraw from the task at any time and receive free memory and psychological treatment."

Keding opened the task details, read through them from start to finish, and let out his first sigh since starting the job.

"Wow, that's really twisted—"

The system exclaimed, "Right!! It's super twisted!!"
