Chapter 342 An Incurable Disease? (1/2)

”Little Brother Ze, you have AIDs?”

Although the fact was a little shocking, Chen Jin was not entirely surprised.

”I reminded you to pay attention to safety, but did you listen to me? Money cannot help to repair this disease.”

”Brother Chen, how can you say this to me?” asked Wang Zeyu. ”You make it sound like I couldn't wait to get AIDs. Can't you say something to comfort me?”

Wang Zeyu was about to have a breakdown. The whole world had abandoned him, but he'd never thought that Brother Chen would do the same.

Chen Jin coughed a couple of times. Due to the surveillance system, he knew very well how many women Wang Zeyu had slept with, including many female celebrities. The number of short movies that he had saved in the past few years numbered, at the very least, in the thousands. Wang Zeyu had been with more than 100 women, and some of them were even very popular female leads in movies. It could even be said that he'd slept with half the entertainment industry.

This was somewhat related to Chen Jin. Wang Zeyu was one of his few friends. They referred to each other as ”brother.” Wang Zeyu often told women that the rich and famous Chen Jin was his brother, which made him very popular as a result.

”Little Brother Ze, don't be too sad. Nowadays, AIDS is not that terrible. As long as it is properly treated, your life expectancy can be extended by at least 20 years,” Chen Jin comforted him.

There were many treatments for AIDs. The most advanced treatment methods were said to extend the life of patients for more than 30 years. An AIDs patient could have a lifespan that was nearly the same as that of an ordinary person.

”I know, I have checked this information.” Wang Zeyu said as he grabbed his hair. ”But I might as well be dead now! Everyone looks at me like I'm a ghost. My friends have left me. My siblings hide when they see me. Even my parents are not willing to see me. They want to deprive me of my inheritance and disown me!” He gritted his teeth. ”I was abandoned by the whole world. It is better to die than to live like this!”

Human relationships changed daily, and the world was filled with hypocrisy. Only in times of danger could one see the hearts of men. Of course, part of this situation was due to his own actions. He could not imagine how the pure sweet girl he'd known could have been a carrier of such a horrid disease. When he thought of the girl's departure and the weird smile that she'd flashed in his direction, filled with all sorts of meaning, Wang Zeyu felt chilled to the bones. He had fallen. The goose-hunter had been pecked and made blind by his prey. He could not deny that this was a kind of retribution.

He did not deserve to be reduced to such a tragic end, however. He just liked to play around with women. He did not do any other bad things. He did not do drugs, in fact, on multiple occasions, he had reported others anonymously for taking drugs. He'd even received several prizes because of this. That was a suitably good thing, right? How could a good person like him receive this terrible retribution? He could not accept this. He really could not.

”Little Brother Ze, don't be agitated. Think about your age, you're only 30 years old. You're not married, you have no children. There's a lot of happiness that you've not yet experienced. You still have a long life, do you want to die like this?” Chen Jin asked.

”I don't want to, Brother Chen, I don't want to.” On the other end of the phone, Wang Zeyu wailed loudly. ”Brother Chen, I'm scared, I'm really scared, I don't want to die!”

At this moment, he was helpless, like a child.

”How about this,” Chen Jin replied. ”You could come to my villa in Junting Grand Court. I'll get the best doctor to look you over and see if he can cure this.”

”What?” Wang Zeyu was stunned. ”Brother… Brother Chen...you'll let me go to your place?” he stuttered. ”You are willing to take me in? Brother Chen, you're not abandoning me?”

”We are brothers,” Chen Jin said calmly. ”And since we're brothers, how could I abandon you?”

Wang Zeyu's tears rolled down his face like he was about to die.

”Brother Chen. You are the person who treats me the best in this world. After this, my life will be yours, I will obey you forever!”

The mounting despair that Wang Zeyu had felt since he received the news was eased slightly. Everyone had ridiculed or attacked him. They'd rubbed salt in his wounds and abandoned him. Only Brother Chen had shown him some warmth and kindness. He was the only lamp in Wang Zeyu's endless darkness. He was so touched that his cheeks streamed with tears.

”Ok ok, stop being mushy. Come over, I will help you think of solutions,” Chen Jin said.

Junting Grand Court, Two Hours Later

Chen Jin's robot double saw little brother Ze. He looked absent-minded, unkempt and unshaven; his overall image was that of a beggar. Chen Jin's eyes swept over his left wrist. In his heart, he was sure that the watch was still on his hand. He nodded slightly. It looked like things could be settled this time. He stepped forward and patted Wang Zeyu's shoulder. The first sentence that Chen Jin spoke made light shine from the sick man's eyes.

”Little Brother Ze, you can rest assured. I have a way to cure this disease!”
