Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

After Wang Bufan's scandals were exposed across the internet, the comment section was flooded with insults, and a large number of fans quickly unfollowed him.

"This is utterly appalling. How did someone like this even have fans back then?"

"To do something like this in public is completely shameless."

"Thank goodness I stopped being a fan early on. Just thinking about how I used to like him makes me want to vomit."

"No matter how talented you are musically, if your character is rotten to the core, it's all for nothing!"

Merchants who had previously collaborated with him have successively issued official statements, swiftly severing all ties with Wang Bufan and sending him letters of claim, demanding he pay huge sums in damages for breach of contract.

Inside a ward at Jiangcheng Hospital.

Wang Bufan slowly opened his eyes, his whole body aching and weak.

The nurse standing nearby noticed he was awake, but her face showed no trace of the smile one would give a patient; instead, it was filled with disgust.

"You're awake? If you're awake, then you should get discharged as soon as possible."

Wang Bufan frowned, his tone tinged with anger:

"What kind of attitude is that!"

The nurse sneered:

"There's no need to be nice to scum like you. Come to think of it, I used to be your fan. I never expected you to do something like this."

Wang Bufan was taken aback: "?"

"Still playing dumb with me? The ridiculous things you did at the arts festival have spread all over the internet, and now there's a whole bunch of dirt on you."

After the nurse finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the ward.

He was left alone in the ward, and the crazy scenes before he fainted suddenly flooded his mind.

Wang Bufan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached for his phone on the bedside table.

On the screen, the homepage push was full of news about him. Videos of the stage farce at Linhai University and the insults against the old professor were circulating everywhere, and all sorts of old scandals were dug up.

Claims from partners were also prominently displayed in the message list.

"Damn it! Was I out of my mind? What was I thinking? How could I do something so stupid!"

Wang Bufan slammed his fist on the bed, his heart turning ice-cold.

His hard-earned music career, built up over many years, came to a complete halt, and the door to the entertainment industry was permanently closed to him.

Just as he was sinking into despair, Cao Bi pushed open the door and walked in.

He glanced down at the text message Lin Ba had sent him on his phone, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Wang Bufan with a grin.

"Young man, I heard you're not doing too well these days!"

Wang Bufan was agitated and waved his hand impatiently:

"What's it to you? Get out of here!"

Cao Bi wasn't angry, and slowly began to speak:

"I saw your news too, don't be so desperate."

Wang Bufan smiled bitterly: "This isn't despair? My entire future is ruined!"

"If you're willing to trust me, I have a way to help you turn things around," Cao Bi said.

Wang Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and despite his many doubts, he couldn't help but ask:

"What method?"

"It's very simple. You donate a kidney. Afterward, I'll arrange for an online army to create momentum and clear your name, using the public's perception of you through the positive image of charity."

Wang Bufan immediately hesitated.

Donating a kidney is no small matter. He had heard many things, such as how losing a kidney would lead to a significant decline in immunity and physical strength.

Seeing this, Cao Bi continued to entice:

"Think it over carefully. If you don't seize this opportunity, your future will be completely ruined. Think about your musical talent, think about the days when you were the center of attention and surrounded by beautiful women."

Wang Bufan's resolve began to waver, and he tentatively began to speak:

"Can we try something else? Like donating blood?"

Cao Bi looked disappointed and shook his head slightly.

"Donating blood alone won't create enough public opinion to cover up your scandals. Forget it, it seems you don't really want to return to your peak. Then just pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying that, Cao Bi made a move to turn around and leave.

This move, a strategic retreat, perfectly captured Wang Bufan's attention.

His expression changed several times. Thinking of his fate of losing everything, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Cao Bi.

"Doctor, wait, I'll listen to you!"

But he still had doubts in his heart:

"Doctor, we're not related, why are you willing to help me?"

Cao Bi sighed softly and slowly began to speak:

"The reason is actually very simple. Several critically ill patients in our hospital urgently need kidney transplants, but they have been waiting for a long time without finding a match."

Our boss, Young Master Lin, is kind-hearted and can't bear to see them suffer, so he's been searching for suitable kidney donors. But there are too few willing donors, so…”

Hearing this, Wang Bufan lowered his guard.

The worst thing is when the other party has no ulterior motive, then he still wouldn't dare to agree.

He sneered inwardly:

Stop pretending to be a saint. Once I've cleared my name and returned to my former glory, I might be able to come back to this hospital and get another kidney transplant.

Although inwardly disdainful, Wang Bufan outwardly nodded in agreement:

"Since Young Master Lin has good intentions, I agree to donate!"

A glint of triumph flashed in Cao Bi's eyes as he took out a pre-prepared voluntary donation consent form and handed it to him.

"Since you've made your decision, sign here to prove that it's a voluntary donation."

Wang Bufan picked up the pen and signed his name without hesitation.

Cao Bi carefully put away the documents, a satisfied smile spreading across his face as he looked at him meaningfully.

"Please wait in the ward for a while; the surgery will be arranged soon."

Wang Bufan was surprised: "So fast?"

"Of course, things can easily go wrong if it drags on too long, ah, I don't mean anything by it."

Cao Bi casually made a comment to cover it up.

A strange unease swept through Wang Bufan's heart, but before he could think about it, the anesthetic was slowly injected into his vein.

Wang Bufan's consciousness quickly faded. Medical staff pushed open the door and wheeled him, bed and all, into the operating room.

The operating room doors slammed shut.

......

Two and a half hours later.

Wang Bufan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze focusing, and met Cao Bi's smiling eyes.

"You're awake! The surgery went very smoothly."

Wang Bufan felt a series of piercing, dull pains coming from the wound on his lower back. His whole body was sore and weak, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

But he couldn't afford to rest; his mind was preoccupied with the previous agreement.

He forced himself to stay awake and pressed on with urgent questions:

"Doctor, I've already donated my kidney, shouldn't you keep your promise? Hurry up and help me clear my name!"

Cao Bi's smile remained unchanged, and his tone was leisurely, showing no intention of getting anything done.

"No rush. Let's settle the surgery fee first, which is 186,000 yuan in total."

Wang Bufan frowned instantly, his face filled with disbelief:

"I volunteered to donate a kidney to save someone, so why do I have to pay for the surgery? And why is it so expensive!"

"Any surgery incurs costs for supplies, manpower, and operating room occupancy, so naturally, there are charges."

Cao Bi added calmly.

"By the way, we also discovered you had hemorrhoids during the surgery, so I kindly removed them for you at the same time. That cost is included in the bill."

Wang Bufan was filled with doubt; he had never felt that he had hemorrhoids.

Instead, I always feel like there's something missing in my body, like something is inexplicably missing.

However, he didn't have time to think about it carefully at that moment; instead, he was reluctant to give away the money...
