"Ha ha... Meng Jie, I didn't expect to see you here." Lin Feng was somewhat surprised to encounter Meng Li in this place, but after thinking about it, he understood. Meng Li worked here, and although the hospital was quite large, the chances of running into her were not low.
And indeed, here they were.
"I didn't expect to run into you here either. So, what brings you here?" Meng Li asked Lin Feng, noticing his silly gesture of scratching his head. Her attitude remained as beautiful and gracious as ever.
"I'm just handling a few matters. Let me introduce you; this is Meng Li, a doctor here," Lin Feng quickly introduced Meng Li to everyone without mentioning what he was dealing with. It was better that Meng Li didn't know about it. Besides, Lin Feng only had a general idea; the specifics would have to wait until he met Xiao Na's mother.
"Hello, Meng Jie, you're so beautiful! I'm Xiao Na," Xiao Na greeted first. She felt an instant connection with the equally beautiful and gracious doctor.
Of course, it could also be that this girl was polite to everyone she met, except for delinquents.
"Ha ha... You're very beautiful too, Xiao Na. That's a lovely name," Meng Li replied warmly. Being a friendly person by nature, she quickly bonded with Xiao Na without needing Lin Feng's introduction.
Relationships among women can sometimes be simple and at other times quite complex. They can become close friends who share everything upon first meeting or find themselves in other extreme situations.
In any case, women are not easy to understand.
"Um... this is He Ting, another beauty," Xiao Na said. While she could easily call Meng Li her sister without Lin Feng's introduction, He Ting, who seemed less welcoming towards strangers, required a bit more effort from Lin Feng to introduce properly.
"Ha ha... He Ting, Lin Feng's friends are my friends too. You're very beautiful," Meng Li said. It seemed that women often started conversations with compliments like "You're beautiful," which could almost replace "Nice to meet you." At that moment, Meng Li used the same phrase again.
Fortunately, all three women present were indeed very beautiful, so the compliment didn’t come off as insincere.
"You too," He Ting responded much more coldly than Xiao Na had. This woman seemed to have some reservations about Meng Li or perhaps it was just her nature; Lin Feng couldn't quite understand it.
Fortunately, Meng Li was a generous woman and didn't seem unhappy; the atmosphere remained quite pleasant.
As for Green Hair, Lin Feng didn't feel the need to introduce her, nor did he know how to do so.
"Sister Meng, we're going upstairs to see an aunt. You carry on with what you're doing; I'll find you later." With Green Hair still around, Lin Feng needed to quickly find out the truth of the matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to handle things when Green Hair's boss arrived. Thus, he temporarily gave up on the idea of catching up with Meng Li.
Seeing Meng Li genuinely made him quite happy.
"You’re going upstairs? Which floor?" Meng Li happened to be heading upstairs as well; otherwise, she wouldn't have run into Lin Feng at the elevator door.
"Seventh floor, room 703, bed 5." Lin Feng wasn't aware that Xiao Na's mother was in that room, but fortunately, Xiao Na was sharp and provided the room and bed number.
"You’re Aunt Chen's daughter?" To Lin Feng's surprise, after hearing Xiao Na's words, Meng Li asked.
"Sister Meng, how did you know?" Xiao Na didn't expect Meng Li to be so well-informed. Although she was a doctor, not every doctor knew each patient's situation so thoroughly.
"Hehe... I'm the attending physician for the patient in the next bed to your mom. I chatted with Aunt Chen for a bit last night, so I found out," Meng Li explained with a smile, feeling it was quite a coincidence.
"Oh, that's great! Let's go up together then." Seeing that Meng Li was also going there, Lin Feng didn't mind; after all, there wasn't much risk involved in this matter. He could just ensure her safety.
The group finally arrived on the seventh floor and met Xiao Na's mother, a middle-aged woman.
Meng Li referred to Xiao Na's mother as Aunt Chen, and since Lin Feng and his friends were about the same age as Meng Li, they followed suit and called her Aunt Chen as well.
After chatting for a while, Lin Feng finally understood the situation.
It turned out that Xiao Na's father had been in a car accident, and their family's savings had been exhausted. They had borrowed from all their relatives who were willing to lend money. In the end, with no other options left, Aunt Chen had no choice but to resort to usury. However, even after spending that money, they still couldn't save him.
Xiao Na's father has passed away, leaving behind a widow and an orphan, along with a huge amount of Usury.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me?" After hearing Aunt Chen's description, Xiao Na threw herself onto Aunt Chen, tears streaming down her face as she asked.
It was clear that she had just learned about this matter.
"Nana, you're still young, and you're in college now. I didn't want to put pressure on you. Once I get better, I can work again, and I will definitely pay back the money," Aunt Chen said softly while patting Xiao Na's shoulder to comfort her.
But she also knew that this Usury, with its high interest rates, would accumulate faster than she could earn money, and now that she was sick, she didn't even know when she would be able to start working again.
Paying back the money, especially the Usury, was easier said than done.
"Aunt Chen, how much did you borrow? I mean the principal," Lin Feng asked gently, seeing that both Xiao Na and Aunt Chen were upset. But to resolve the issue, he needed to know the full situation.
"I borrowed 120,000. Those bastards, the interest wasn't this high at first, but it just kept increasing. It's already 300,000 now; they really are ruthless," Aunt Chen said angrily. Unfortunately, as a weak woman, she had no power to fight against these usurers and could only endure in silence.
"Haha... I was wondering who was talking about me; turns out it's you old hag. Old lady, you'd better pay up. If you don't have the money, you can use your daughter as collateral!" Just as Aunt Chen was gritting her teeth in anger, a voice came from the doorway of the hospital room—clearly not a good person.
Looking at the burly man who seemed eager to flaunt his wealth, Lin Feng knew without asking that this was the leader of Green Hair.
The leader of Green Hair was named Wu Liang, known on the streets as "Liang Ge." Of course, those who suffered under him called him "Ruthless"!
Today, Wu Liang had been enjoying a sauna when one of his subordinates rushed in to report something urgent.
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal for someone to come in like that, but at that moment, Wu Liang was enjoying a special service from a massage girl. Just as he was about to reach a peak moment of pleasure, his subordinate barged in.
Startled by his subordinate's sudden entrance, Wu Liang found himself in quite an embarrassing situation.
This is indeed no small matter. In an instant, Wu Liang was furious. He first slapped his subordinate a few times before addressing the situation.
Eventually, upon learning that Green Hair had been forcibly taken away, this unscrupulous leader naturally turned his wrath towards Lin Feng. He gathered a group of subordinates and marched towards the Hospital.
As they arrived at the hospital room door, they heard Aunt Chen's voice, which set the stage for Wu Liang's entrance.
"You... don't do anything reckless! I'm telling you, what you're doing is illegal!" Aunt Chen exclaimed as she hurriedly held Xiao Na in her arms, seeing the gleam in Wu Liang's eyes directed at Xiao Na.
She knew that Wu Liang had long been interested in Xiao Na and had tried several times to get her to hand Xiao Na over.
However, Xiao Na was Aunt Chen's lifeline; there was no way she would agree to that. This was also why she hadn't informed Xiao Na about the situation.
Unexpectedly, today Xiao Na really encountered Wu Liang's men. Fortunately, Lin Feng appeared just in time to avert disaster.
"Illegal? Let me tell you, paying back debts is only right. Someone, take this girl away! Old woman, when you have money, you can buy your daughter back. I'll give you a discount on the ransom, ha ha..." Wu Liang was a rough man and didn't regard Lin Feng, the only male in the room, at all. He knew that with dozens of people behind him, everyone would avoid him.
As for Green Hair, whom Lin Feng had captured, Wu Liang had completely forgotten about him while focusing on Xiao Na.
"Boss, help me!" Green Hair shouted desperately when he realized his boss wasn't paying attention to him. His expression was one of utter misery.
Indeed, Green Hair had suffered quite a bit along the way.
"I say, Captain He, isn't it your turn to step in? I don't want to cause a scene in the Hospital," Lin Feng said to He Ting, who had yet to take action.
Lin Feng thought it best not to resort to violence if possible; Captain He was right there and should take the lead. It wouldn't be good for him to overshadow her.
"Wu Liang, do you know who I am?" After hearing Lin Feng's words, He Ting—who had initially planned to keep her identity hidden and enjoy a good fight—had no choice but to speak up.
Sweat! If Lin Feng knew that He Ting was just thinking about having another fight, he might faint.
Isn't this violent tendency a bit too serious?
"I don't care who you are... uh... Captain He, what are you doing here?" Wu Liang was clearly surprised to see He Ting. The thugs who were preparing to forcibly take Xiao Na also stopped their actions. Those who live by the streets are quite sensitive to terms like "captain."
"Hmph... what were you planning to do with this victim if I weren't here?" A police officer is still a police officer; even their wording is so precise that they immediately labeled Aunt Chen and her daughter as victims.
"Captain He, you're mistaken. It's only right to pay back debts. They can't repay the money, and since it's a debt owed by the father, shouldn't we let her daughter help pay it back? You police can't be unreasonable," Wu Liang quickly regained his composure after his surprise, firmly insisting that he was just collecting a debt, which made it seem somewhat "justifiable."
As expected of a leader, his adaptability is decent.
But adaptability doesn't change the fact that he committed a crime.
"Who says they can't repay? It's only 120,000! I'll pay!" Lin Feng currently has 20 million in his magic ring; paying 120,000 is not a big deal. As for why he's helping Aunt Chen, let's just say it's a good deed.
Lin Feng is actually a kind person.
"Haha... young man, saving the damsel in distress isn't done like this. It's 300,000, not 120,000!" Wu Liang said to Lin Feng as if he found it amusing.
"Heh... let me see the IOU," Lin Feng smiled. He never expected He Ting alone would resolve the situation; he just hoped she could stabilize things. As for what happens next, Lin Feng has his own plans.
