Chapter 1694 Special Products of the Third World (First Update, Please Subscribe)
This private hospital in Jakarta is located in the suburbs of the city, with white buildings set amidst lush tropical greenery.

Lin Caihan pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly along the tree-lined avenue. The breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers, and the sea in the distance sparkled in the sun.

Nothing here looks like a hospital.

"It's so beautiful here,"

Xiao Wan said softly, a hint of redness appeared on her pale face.
"It doesn't look like a hospital, it looks more like a resort."

Lin Caihan looked down at his wife, who was sitting in a wheelchair. She was looking up at the flowers on the roadside trees. The pink and white flowers bloomed among the green leaves, and a few petals fell in the wind and landed on her knees.

"Yeah," he forced a smile.
“A good environment also helps your recovery.”

The wheelchair rolled over the path between the grass, making a slight sound. The passing medical staff were all wearing neat uniforms and nodded to them with a smile. The spacious and bright corridor was decorated with elegant decorations and green plants. There was a faint aromatherapy smell in the air, and there was no smell of disinfectant at all.

"You're such a talented man," Xiaowan suddenly held his hand and said to her husband while looking at him.

"Can this really heal me?"

Lin Caihan's heart suddenly tightened. His wife's hands were cold, but she held them tightly. He could feel her inner anticipation, the urgency of grasping a glimmer of hope in despair.

"Yeah," he said softly.

"The medical conditions here are very good, and the doctors are all top-notch in the world. The surgery can be done quickly, and you will recover quickly."

They passed a French window, sunlight poured in, casting mottled shadows on the ground. Outside the window was a well-kept garden, and several patients in hospital gowns were taking a walk accompanied by a nurse.

"When the operation is over,"

Xiaowan's voice was filled with longing.

"Can we just go home? I haven't been with my kids for a long time. I miss them so much."

His wife's words made Lin Caihan feel his throat tighten.

Thinking back to these days because of the other party's requests and speculation about the source of the organs, Lin Caihan knew that what he did was wrong.

But looking at his wife's hopeful eyes, he knew he had to make a choice: to choose his family or to follow his conscience.

He knew what he should choose.

"Ah."

He looked at his wife and said.

"After you recover, we can travel together and take the children with us."

Xiaowan smiled, with fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes. This was the first time she had such a relaxed smile since she was hospitalized.

"When I can walk again, the first thing I will do is to listen to Xiaoyu playing the piano,"

She said:
"Actually, you know, I want her to dance ballet, but, well, since this girl likes it, let her do it! As long as she likes it."

Lin Caihan's hands trembled slightly. He thought of his daughter's clumsy but serious piano practice, and his son's secret crying in his room.

They all hoped that their mother would be able to return home, and all of this depended on the upcoming surgery.

"Talented man,"

Xiaowan suddenly turned her head.
"Thank you for bringing me here. I know it must have taken a lot of effort on your part."

Lin Caihan felt his eyes getting hot. He squatted down and gently hugged his wife:

"Don't be silly. When you get better, our family will go to the beach again, just like we did last year."

Xiaowan leaned on his shoulder and whispered:

"Yeah, I'm still going to wear that floral dress."

The sunlight shone through the glass window onto them, so warm that it made them want to cry. Lin Caihan hugged his wife tightly, as if he could keep this moment of peace and hope.

The air in Jakarta was humid and hot, but Lin Caihan felt cold all over.

Standing on the rooftop of this private hospital, he looked at the night view of this strange city. Then he stood there smoking silently, and the cigarette butts at his feet revealed his mood at the moment.

Just last year, the SEA defense forces brought freedom to this city, and since that day, a lot of changes have begun to take place here.

The city is more prosperous and neon lights light up the night sky.

The neon lights flickered in the night, but they could not illuminate the darkness in his heart.

"You see, this is Jakarta. We liberated this city, just like this country."

Standing next to him is his college classmate and old friend Chen Ming, who works for the Agency for International Development in Jakarta.

“We came here and did a lot of development and we did change the place, at least to a certain extent.”

"Old Lin."

Chen Ming turned his head and looked at his friend and said:
"How is my sister-in-law doing now?"

Lin Caihan looked at his old friend and said:
"Xiao Wan is undergoing preoperative examination. The doctor said that she can have the surgery tomorrow."

He paused and said:
"Chen Ming, here... do you know anything?"

"I know you want to know, but are you sure you want to know?"

"I……"

Lin Caihan opened his mouth and nodded.

"I need to know."

“This hospital…”

Chen Ming paused and said:

"What do you mean? Do you know the black market?"

"Black market?" "Yes, it is the black market. In the black market, as long as you have money, you can buy everything...including organs!"

"what!"

“And there’s a black market for organs in Jakarta!”

Lin Caihan's heart suddenly tightened. His palms began to sweat, and he looked at his friend and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"It's a black market for trading human organs! There are many rich people here who come for organ transplants. If there is demand, there will be a market."

Perhaps because he had worked here for a long time, Chen Ming was already used to all this, and his voice sounded very calm;

“The source of organs on the black market…”

He took a puff of his cigarette and said:

"Many of them come from the slums. Because of poverty, they can and must sell everything. Some are even forced to do so because they owe loan sharks!"

What kind of information is revealed in these few simple sentences?

In the past few years, with the maturity of human organ transplantation technology, not only kidney and liver transplantation have been achieved, but medical experts even mastered heart transplantation technology three years ago.

It can be said that several hospitals in SEA already have the best organ transplant technology in the world, and the technology is becoming more and more mature.

In the past few years, more and more patients need organ transplants, especially the rich in various countries, who need new organs to sustain life. However, there are not enough organs.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Where is the market?
Naturally, in these underdeveloped areas, in Manila and Jakarta, an underground organ black market has emerged.

Why here? Because it is close to SEA and has excellent doctors who can do transplant work.

And the sources of organs...are diverse, but they are all local people.

Lin Caihan felt dizzy after hearing his friend's words. He held onto the railing and said:
"You mean..."

"Brother Lin, you know, this is reality..."

Chen Ming's voice suddenly became serious.
“The reality is, where there is a need, there is a market.”

Lin Caihan's throat tightened. He thought of Wang Mingyuan's mysterious smile, those documents of unknown origin, and the hospital's unusually quick arrangements...

"The laws here are very lax,"

Chen Ming continued,
"As long as you have money, you can do anything. Many wealthy people from Europe and America come here for transplants because they can't wait for an appointment through regular channels."

Lin Caihan felt that he had difficulty breathing. He thought of the patients he saw in the hospital corridor, including foreigners in suits and ties and wealthy people in fancy clothes. They all looked healthy and did not look like they needed an organ transplant.

"This business will continue, here..."

Chen Ming's voice was still calm.

"Now it is a provider, a provider of organs."

Lin Caihan thought of the slums he saw on the way here, the dilapidated shacks, and the ragged children. He felt sympathy at the time, but he didn't expect...

"Brother Lin..."

Chen Ming's voice brought him back to reality.
"This is the real world. In fact, you shouldn't understand all of this. You only need to know one thing - my sister-in-law can survive because of this! This is the most important thing!"

Lin Caihan's hands trembled violently. He thought of his wife's gentle smile... Yes, this is the most important thing!
He muttered to himself.

"Okay, Brother Lin."

Chen Ming said,
"Don't think so much, sister-in-law is still waiting for you."

The next morning, Lin Caihan looked towards the ward. The nurse was giving his wife a final checkup and preparing to push her into the operating room. His wife looked pale, but she still gave him a comforting smile.

He knew that after the operation, his wife would be alive and well, and that was the most important thing.

As for the rest...it doesn't matter!
-

Outside the glass curtain wall of Kuching Airport, the sunset dyed the sky a brilliant orange-red. Lin Caihan pushed the wheelchair, carefully avoiding the crowd. Xiaowan looked much better than she did half a month ago, and her face had become more rosy. She was looking around excitedly.

"Caihan, look over there!"

Xiaowan suddenly pointed forward, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

In the terminal hall, her neighbor Hui and her two children greeted her. The children were holding a huge hand-painted poster. On the poster, "Welcome home, Mom" ​​was written in colored pen, and there were hearts and flowers painted around it. The two children's eyes were sparkling.

"mom!"

Xiaoyu was the first to spot them and ran over, waving her arms. Xiaojie followed closely behind, the poster in his hand rustling as he ran.

Lin Caihan felt his eyes burning. He squatted down and watched his wife hug the two children tightly. Xiaowan's shoulders were shaking slightly. She touched the children's hair and said over and over again:
"Mom misses you guys so much, so much..."

Lin Caihan stood aside and watched this heartwarming scene. His wife's smile was so bright, and the children's eyes were so bright. This was exactly what he wanted.

But all this is not without cost.

The children were still chattering, and Xiaowan's face was filled with a happy smile, but all this beauty was built on a dangerous deal.

"dad,"

Xiaoyu pulled at the corner of his clothes.

"Let's go home. I have a surprise for Mom!"

Lin Caihan squatted down and picked up his daughter:
"Okay, let's go home."

He pushed the wheelchair and led the family to the parking lot. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass on them, casting long shadows.

Lin Caihan knew that behind this warmth, there was a price to pay, and that price might destroy everything he had now...
