Chapter 685: Chapter 684: It doesn’t matter if the money is gone, but if the life is gone, it’s really gone! _1

Ren Feifan was absolutely certain that the woman at the ATM was Fang Muqing.

He recognized her silhouette from anywhere.

Not too long ago, he heard about Fang Muqing’s departure from Jiangnan University, but never imagined that he would bump into her here.

And her appearance seemed off, even a bit worn-out?

From a distance, she seemed to have slimmed down quite a bit. What could have happened to Fang Muqing?

Jiangnan University is well-known for its excellent employee benefits. No one would resign without a good reason. Something serious must have happened that forced her to quit.

Fang Muqing withdrew some money, hastily stashed it in her bag, and rushed off.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman wanted to use the ATM and collided with Fang Muqing.

The collision wasn’t strong and both of them remained on their feet.

Fang Muqing, with her head down, briefly apologized, while the older lady cursed at her under her breath.

"In too much of a hurry to be born again, aren’t you? Do you even have eyes?"

But Ren Feifan noticed something—the old lady had a sharp blade in hand and managed to slit Fang Muqing’s bag open. Almost instantly, all Fang Muqing’s belongings fell out. The middle-aged woman swiftly opened her bag and caught all the falling items.

A pro!

That was Ren Feifan’s first reaction.

This woman must be a seasoned thief.

However, Fang Muqing had no idea and hurried off without noticing her now lighter bag.

Ren Feifan shook his head, got off his vehicle, and followed the older woman into the alleyway.

At that moment, the woman was counting the money. Finishing, she slapped her palm satisfied, "Quite a score! Didn’t think that chick would be such a catch. Just a few more successful runs and I can take a week off."

"How many runs today?"

Suddenly, a voice caught the woman off guard. Still reveling in her triumph, she replied absent-mindedly, "It’s my fifth... Not too shabby... Hehe."

Her voice trailed off abruptly.

The woman turned around and saw a young man standing before her.

"What are you staring at, punk? Never seen an old lady count money?" The woman quickly stuffed the money into her bag, cursed a few more times and tried to leave, only to find herself immobilized. The young man had grabbed her.

"You stole my friend’s belongings, including her money. Don’t you think you should return it?"

Ren Feifan stretched out his hand and scoffed at her.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let me go, or I’ll report you to the police!"

"Report me?" Ren Feifan looked astonished at the woman’s audacity, "No need for all that hassle. There’s a police station nearby, let’s go."

The woman totally freaked out the moment Ren Feifan mentioned taking her to the police station. She quickly pulled out a wad of cash and stuffed it into Ren Feifan’s jacket.

"We’re all trying to make a living here, young man. Considering you saw everything, let’s split it. That should be fair, right?"

Ren Feifan furrowed his brows, snatched the woman’s bag, and retorted, "Split it? Ever thought about this money being someone’s life-saving fund? Your selfishness might cost someone their life."

The woman was terrified, her legs trembling at Ren Feifan’s words. Although he was young, his words held a certain weight.

It made her uncomfortable.

"I... I’ll..."

Before the woman could react, Ren Feifan removed Fang Muqing’s belongings and cash from the bag, "I’m giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Turn in the rest of the money and stolen goods to the police, and turn yourself in. Otherwise, I can’t predict what might happen next."

The woman was about to retort, but an unidentifiable sense of fear stung her. She agreed to Ren Feifan’s demand without further questioning and left with her bag.

Ren Feifan figured the woman must have decided to confess to the police, especially after the reality check he gave her.

...

The First Hospital of Capital City.

Known as the hospital with the most reputed doctors in the city.

Patients reportedly had to wait as long as a month for an appointment with certain specialists.

Although it might sound a bit exaggerated, the fact is patients from all over the country who could afford the treatment chose this place for its medical services.

This hospital virtually represents the most advanced medical services in Huaxia, lauded for both its traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments.

Simultaneously, this place is also notoriously expensive, a.k.a. the hospital for the elite in Capital City.

Fang Muqing rushed into the hospital and stood in line at the payment booth. When she opened her bag to grab her money, she found that her money and mobile were gone!

There was a gaping hole at the bottom of her bag!

She instantly remembered the woman she bumped into outside the ATM. Could it be her money was stolen?

This was money for a life-saving treatment!

Fang Muqing’s mother was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease a month ago.

Only the First Hospital of Capital City had successful cases of treating this condition in Huaxia, so she sold her vehicle and the house in Jiangnan province to afford her mother’s treatment in the capital.

For Fang Muqing, losing houses or vehicles was bearable as she could earn them back, but losing her mother was unacceptable.

The hospital bills in the past fifteen days had drained most of her money, then this morning, the doctors informed her that her mother needed immediate surgery. Otherwise, her life was at risk.

With no other option, she borrowed money from friends to scrape together enough for the emergency operation. But now, all of it was gone!

She sat listlessly on the floor, her face as white as paper, and burst into tears.

The stress of the past month was something she had never experienced before.

The piled-up pressure was suffocating.

Suddenly, a doctor wearing a white coat, sporting a round belly, gold-rimmed glasses, and slick back hair approached her. His eyes travelled up and down Fang Muqing’s figure, flashing a lecherous grin, which he quickly masked with a courteous expression. "Miss Fang, what’s wrong?"

This was Doctor Tang Can, a renowned specialist in kidney diseases in Capital City and the primary doctor for Fang Muqing’s mother.

Fang Muqing looked up at the doctor, hastily wiped her tears, and said, "Doctor Tang, I need your help... My surgery money has been stolen. I don’t know what to do; what should I do?"

Doctor Tang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don’t fret. I’ll figure something out. After all, it’s a matter of life and death. Come to my office, we can talk more about it there."

"Thank you...thank you, Doctor Tang. I knew you were a true lifesaver!" Fang Muqing exclaimed in relief.

Soon, Fang Muqing was led into an office. The moment she was distracted, Doctor Tang locked the door.

"Miss Fang, your mother’s case is very critical. There’s no doubt that the surgery must be performed. This is not something we can delay."

"Yes, yes, Doctor Tang. I’m counting on you here."

"No problem at all. Once you reach my position, handling such things becomes a lot easier."

Doctor Tang chuckled, reached out his hand to grab Fang Muqing’s referring to her as ’Miss Fang’.

Fang Muqing was shocked and quickly recoiled her hand, "Err...Doctor Tang, when can my mother undergo the surgery?"
