Preying on the Poor

Lin Kenning's eyes were red, and she remained silent for a long time. Mu Changsheng had already borrowed 20,000 yuan from her last time, and she hadn't even paid it back yet. Lin Kenning felt too embarrassed to ask Mu Changsheng for help again.

Lin Kenning shyly pulled away from Mu Changsheng's embrace and said with a blush, "Why are you... here?"

Mu Changsheng pointed to the electric scooter parked nearby. "Delivering takeout."

Lin Kenning was taken aback. "What time is it... You're still delivering takeout?"

"Never mind me. Don't change the subject. Why are you here?"

Mu Changsheng had wanted to understand what had happened at Lin Kenning's home before.

He decided to help her directly today. Otherwise, if such a beautiful girl were to be framed by Liu Tianhao and his gang again, it would still cause trouble for him.

Lin Kenning felt a little embarrassed and waved her hand. "It's nothing... nothing, just... some small matters. I can handle it."

Mu Changsheng frowned. "You can handle it?"

"If you can handle it, why were you crying outside the hospital?"

Lin Kenning's delicate body stiffened slightly, and her beautiful eyes dimmed instantly.

Seeing that Lin Kenning wasn't speaking, Mu Changsheng sighed, took her hand, and walked towards the hospital.

"If you still don't want to ask, then just take me to the ward."

Mu Changsheng looked at the nurse over there and asked abruptly.

Lin Kenning looked up, opened her mouth, but finally couldn't resist Mu Changsheng's gaze and led him towards her brother's ward.

Mu Changsheng followed Lin Kenning to a ward. Inside lay a boy, about eleven or twelve years old. The boy's face was pale, and he was receiving an IV drip.

"Your... brother?"

Mu Changsheng asked, seeing the resemblance between the young boy and Lin Kenning.

Lin Kenning nodded, her expression filled with sadness.

Mu Changsheng frowned. "What illness does your brother have?"

"A month ago, he just had a stomachache. At first, we bought some medicine from the health clinic, but it didn't have much effect. Later, when there was no other option, we brought him to the hospital."

"Then we did many tests, CT scans, and everything seemed fine. In the end, when there was nothing else we could do, we did a gastroscopy. Later, the attending doctor said... said my brother had stomach cancer."

As Lin Kenning spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably again.

"The surgery requires a large sum of money, which I can't afford..."

Mu Changsheng frowned, looking at the little boy lying on the bed. He furrowed his brow. "Your brother is only seventeen years old, how could he have cancer?"

Although there are many food additives nowadays, it's unlikely to get cancer at such a young age.

Besides, Lin Kenning is from the village, so the food she eats should be... better.

"Where are your brother's gastroscopy results?"

Mu Changsheng looked at Lin Kenning and asked.

Lin Kenning was stunned. "They're not with me... they're with the attending doctor."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng's expression became strange.

Mu Changsheng looked at the little boy on the bed, his lips twitching. "What's your brother's name?"

Lin Kenning was startled. "Lin Keyang."

"Your brother... might not be sick."

Mu Changsheng said softly.

Lin Kenning was stunned. "?"

"Tomorrow, you'll take me to see your attending doctor, and then I'll know."

"For now, I can't be sure."

Lin Kenning brought Mu Changsheng to the attending doctor's office.

In front of the office door, Lin Kenning glanced at Mu Changsheng, then raised her hand and knocked.

"Doctor..."

"Please come in."

Lin Kenning entered with a hint of nervousness.

A plump doctor sat inside the office, wearing glasses. He squinted his eyes, and upon seeing Lin Kenning, his gaze first lingered on her face, then a smile appeared. "Kenning, you're here."

But then, Mu Changsheng also walked in. When Mu Changsheng saw the attending doctor before him, the corner of his mouth twitched.

It's confirmed.

Lin Keyang definitely does not have stomach cancer.

"And who is this?"

Du Mingde paused slightly upon seeing Mu Changsheng and asked with a hint of confusion.

Lin Kenning was about to introduce Mu Changsheng when he stepped forward and put his arm around her waist. "I'm her husband."

Hearing this, Lin Kenning's face immediately flushed.

But she didn't dare to resist, allowing Mu Changsheng to hold her.

Du Mingde's expression soured upon hearing this.

"You're Kenning's husband?" Du Mingde's tone grew noticeably colder. "Then you don't know what happened to Kenning?"

Mu Changsheng, not bothering to engage with Du Mingde, stated calmly, "I'm here to tell you that Keyang is being transferred to another hospital."

Du Mingde's face darkened. "Nonsense! Lin Keyang's condition can't wait any longer. Transferring hospitals now is simply missing the best window for treatment."

Mu Changsheng chuckled lightly. "Then why didn't Doctor Du arrange surgery for Keyang earlier?" "Why keep delaying it until now?"

Du Mingde faltered, his gaze shifting evasively. "That's... because the payment wasn't made. The hospital has rules...!"

"Then I'm very curious. My Keyang has only been here taking some medicine, receiving IV fluids, and undergoing some tests. Chemotherapy hasn't even started yet, yet the medical fees are already as high as twenty thousand yuan?"

"If this medicine were some miracle cure, I'd accept it. But the more he takes it, the less effective it becomes... Are you treating us like fools?"

Mu Changsheng's tone also turned cold.

Du Mingde's face twitched. "What do you mean by that?" he said sternly.

"I mean nothing. I'm just very curious what kind of miraculous medicine Doctor Du is prescribing to be so expensive," Mu Changsheng said indifferently.

Du Mingde snorted. "If you want to change hospitals, fine. Just pay the hospitalization fees."

Lin Kenning's face stiffened. "Doctor Du, these hospitalization fees... I already paid them a few days ago."

Du Mingde frowned. "Ms. Lin, when did you pay them?" "My backend still shows them as unpaid." "And you haven't paid for the IV fluids for the past three days either."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng took out his phone, turned off the recording, and calmly put it into his pocket.

"Kenning, don't worry. Let's pay the fees first, and then we'll transfer Keyang to Tannan City First Hospital."

Mu Changsheng gave Du Mingde a look that made Du Mingde's expression change slightly. A vague sense of foreboding began to creep into his mind.

But Du Mingde didn't think too much about it. His father was the vice president of Ruisheng Hospital, so what did he have to fear?
