I changed into a surgical gown, the bloodstained clothes were taken off.

This time, I saw clearly the doctor who performed the surgery for me. She was the eldest cousin from Uncle San's family, who used to secretly bring me food when I was young.

"Ning Mi, be careful. You must peel it off intact, without any mistakes." Ning Wenyuan's instructions echoed in the cold operating room.

Ning Mi's eyes beneath the protective goggles curved, and she smiled, saying, "Big brother, don't worry. I have never let you down."

"You're all in this together?" I trembled all over, feeling the bitterness of betrayal.

Ning Mi patted my face and happily said, "How can you say that? We are all family."

The surgical knife had already cut into my flesh when suddenly an alarm bell rang in my ears.

In that rundown hotel, the only thing available was a landline. I made a real-name report, stating that there were illegal surgeries and organ trafficking in the basement of the main villa.

I saw Ning Mi's furrowed brow and Ning Wenyuan suddenly sitting up from the operating table.

"Leave this place first." His face turned grim, then he opened a secret door and left the scene.

I was rescued, and the police took me to the largest hospital in the city for treatment.

The doctor held the examination report and said to the police in charge of me, "This child is malnourished, and there are various wounds on the body from blunt force trauma. They need to be hospitalized for observation."

The police nodded and sent the doctor away, then sat by my bedside. "Are you feeling better now?"

"Much better, thank you, officer. I'm grateful you came."

"Can you cooperate with us and give a statement now?" she asked eagerly.

"Yes, but I want to know how things are now," I replied.

She understood the victim's state of mind and explained, "We found preserved organs in the basement, and several bodies of missing persons were found underneath the backyard. The evidence is conclusive, and members of your family were quickly arrested. The mastermind is the head of the family, with several accomplices. Once the information is complete, we will request a public trial." She paused for a moment, as if finding it difficult to continue, "I heard that your cousin Ning Mi took good care of you."

I nodded without saying a word.

"She is one of the key accomplices, as are your parents. According to the law, their actions have caused very serious consequences, so the punishment will be severe."

I was truly delighted.

However, it was a heavy blow written on my face.

I spent a peaceful week in the hospital, receiving the compassionate care of doctors and nurses every day.

"Ning Wenyun, Bed 48, your family is here to take you home." The joyful voice of a nurse came from the doorway.

As a lonely person, where would I have any family members? I looked towards the door in horror.

Behind the nurse stood the police and my brother Ning Wenyuan.

He hurried forward and hugged me, who was trembling: "I never expected them to treat you like that. I'm here now. Come home with me, Ayun."
