Hiring a Lawyer

Ruisheng Hospital, Payment Counter

"That'll be 5340. Scan or cash?"

The receptionist said to Lin Kenning in a flat tone.

Upon hearing the cost, Lin Kenning's face visibly paled. "How could it be so much?!" she exclaimed in shock.

Just as Lin Kenning was about to question it, Mu Changsheng raised his hand to stop her. He smiled and asked the receptionist, "Are you sure it's that much?"

The receptionist frowned, her tone cold. "What do you mean?"

"Heh, I was just asking."

A flicker of coldness crossed Mu Changsheng's eyes. He then scanned the code and paid the money.

"Kenning, let's go."

Mu Changsheng pulled Lin Kenning and walked towards the exit.

Lin Kenning looked at Mu Changsheng, a bit confused. "How could it cost so much again?"

"We shouldn't have to pay this much at all..."

Mu Changsheng smiled dismissively. "Kenning, the more they ask for, the more beneficial it is for us."

"I wish they'd ask for even more."

"The more, the better."

Lin Kenning didn't quite understand what Mu Changsheng was saying, standing there blankly. "Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go, we'll head to Tannan City First People's Hospital first."

Mu Changsheng shook his head and smiled, not offering further explanation.

Ruisheng Hospital, Du Mingde's Office

A beautiful woman sat on Du Mingde's lap. Mu Changsheng recognized her; it was the woman from the payment counter.

Du Mingde put his arm around her waist, his eyes cold. "Damn it, the duck that was about to be cooked got away."

"Oh, Director Du, I'm still here," the woman said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Then, she added with some worry, "Director... what if they find out we faked the charges?"

Du Mingde glanced at the woman in his arms. "What do you know? In this hospital, besides the director, my father is king. What power can a mere poor, stinky woman possibly have?"

"If it weren't for that brat showing up today, that Lin Kenning woman would have been mine long ago."

The woman's eyes darted around. She nestled into Du Mingde's embrace and said coquettishly, "Director, what about the... head nurse's...?"

Du Mingde chuckled and patted the woman's waist. "Don't worry... the head nurse won't be shortchanged."

"Thank you, Director."

Tannan City First People's Hospital

"Miss Lin, Mr. Mu, where did you take the child for treatment before?"

The doctor, wearing glasses, looked at Mu Changsheng and Lin Kenning with a frown.

Lin Kenning replied truthfully, "Ruisheng Hospital."

"Doctor Wang, is my brother's illness early-stage stomach cancer...?" Lin Kenning asked anxiously.

"Stomach cancer?"

Doctor Wang was taken aback. "What early-stage stomach cancer? How could such a young child get stomach cancer so quickly?"

"It's just that you made a mistake with the medication, which worsened the child's condition, causing a few polyps to grow in his stomach. Removing them will be fine."

"It's a good thing you transferred him in time, otherwise... the consequences would likely have been more severe."

Doctor Wang's words stunned Lin Kenning.

Mu Changsheng's lips curved into a smile. It seemed things were unfolding as he'd expected. "Thank you, Doctor Wang."

"Alright, the child's surgery cannot be delayed. You can go pay the fees now, and we'll arrange the surgery for today."

Doctor Wang shook his head.

"Thank you, Doctor Wang..."

Mu Changsheng nodded.

"How could this happen...?"

Lin Kenning held the bill, looking at the cost, and couldn't help but feel wronged.

She had to pay so much when it could have been resolved for just a few thousand dollars!

Lin Kenning, you're truly foolish.

"Changsheng, am I very foolish? I actually brought Keyang to a private hospital, not only did his illness not get treated... but I also made Keyang suffer..."

Lin Kenning sat there, blaming herself.

Mu Changsheng gave a wry smile, "This isn't your fault. After all, you're just a university student and haven't entered society yet. This was all Du Mingde's doing."

"Doctor Du...?"

Mu Changsheng nodded and told Lin Kenning about Du Mingde's despicable plan.

After hearing it, Lin Kenning felt a wave of fear.

If it weren't for Mu Changsheng, she probably would have walked right into a tiger's den.

Lin Kenning clutched her clothes, her palms sweating, "Thank you... If it weren't for you... I probably would have already... been deceived."

"The money you lent me... I will definitely repay you."

Lin Kenning looked at Mu Changsheng earnestly.

Mu Changsheng patted Lin Kenning's head, "No need to be so anxious. I don't need money right now. You, you should be more careful in the future."

"You silly girl, you dared to go to a private hospital."

Lin Kenning lowered her head shyly, "I... I understand."

After Mu Changsheng left the People's Hospital, he returned to his villa and drove his McLaren towards a restaurant.

Yuyang Restaurant.

Mu Changsheng parked his McLaren at the entrance and called out, "Lawyer Qin, I've arrived."

"Sir, are you driving a white McLaren?"

A hesitant female voice came from the phone.

Mu Changsheng looked around, "That's right, it's me."

"Mr. Mu, I'm here."

A soft call came from behind him. Mu Changsheng slowly turned around and saw a tall, beautiful woman with a black handbag walking towards him.

The woman's skin was fair.

Her high nose bridge made her facial features more three-dimensional.

A head of black, shiny long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

A well-tailored professional suit perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

Mu Changsheng was a little surprised, another beauty?

Name: Qin Na
Attractiveness: 91
Age: 26
Profession: Lawyer
Hobby: Sophistry
Number of relationships: 1

Mu Changsheng looked at the "Number of relationships" and frowned, "System, what does 'number of relationships' mean?"

This is a bit ambiguous.

"Host, it means you've been in one relationship, but you're still a virgin."

"Is that clear now?"
