Chapter 278 A Man Is Worse Than a Dog

Prime State.

"Are you sure this person is his mother?"

Ren Lord held an umbrella to shield himself and Su Qinglan from the harsh sunlight, and frowned as he looked at the old woman not far away who was selling things to everyone passing by under the flyover.

The scene in front of him was a bit pungent.

It should look like a grandmother who is already seventy or eighty years old, her hair is white, good thing it's summer, wearing patched clothes is not freezing.

Her stand was just a few wild vegetables not too common in the city, and even the plastic bags she used to pack them in seemed to be scavenged and crumpled.

White-collar workers and pedestrians passing by shunned the scene and walked around it.

There wasn't even a single person stopping in the huge crowd of people, and the old man stood there, looking extraordinarily helpless.

Looking at it, Su Qinglan thought of her grandmother, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, although this Liu Guofu's profile is that his parents are both dead, there was a time earlier in the year when he was sued by his mother for refusing to support him, and I went along with that only to find out that his mother passed away a year after that incident, and the cause of her death is unknown."

"Using that as a starting point, yet no records were checked at any of the crematoriums, just the cancellation of the household registration."

This kind of beastly thing made Ren Lord's face change as he heard it, his face filled with disgust, "What a piece of trash."

Su Qinglan didn't even listen to him finish lamenting, and directly walked against the flow of people to the old lady's side.

"Want some wild greens? They're all fresh and tender, just five dollars a bag." The old lady thought she was here to buy vegetables and smiled curtly, stretching out her five fingers still a little shaky.

There were just four bags of wild greens in front of her, each one filled to the brim, and just thinking about it made her tired.

"I'll take it all, but there's something else I want to ask you about." She handed over a hundred straight from her wallet.

Perhaps it had been a long time since she had seen such a large denomination, the old lady was instead at a loss for words and didn't dare to accept it, "Girl, do you have any change? I don't have money here to find you."

"No need, the remaining eighty will be taken as my fee for inquiring about a matter from you." Su Qinglan endured her bitterness and forced that money over.

"Do you have a son named Liu Guofu?"

Upon hearing this name, the old lady seemed to be struck by something, her originally excited smile suddenly dimmed, her eyes all evasive and evasive.

She hurriedly shoved four bags of wild vegetables over to her, gathered up the bedding on the floor and was leaving.

Ren Lord walked in time to block her way, and likewise softened his voice, "I hope you can cooperate with us, and even with regards to the case of Liu Guofu's non-support, we can help you to re-sue."

Just looking at the old lady's shabby and pitiful appearance in front of him, he was also a bit unable to look at it and couldn't help but ask after it.

"Wasn't it ruled in this case back then that he had to pay alimony every month, so why are you still out selling vegetables?"

Seeing that Su Qinglan also chased after her, the old lady had no way to retreat and could only forcefully pull out a smile to lie. "You guys recognized the wrong person, I don't have any sons, I'm the only one in the family, barely making ends meet."

Ren Lord tsked lightly, raising an eyebrow at Su Qinglan, his eyes inquiring if he had recognized the wrong person.

But this situation had been expected by Su Qinglan, she took out a photo from her wallet, a photo of the old lady and Liu Guofu that not many searches had found.

She handed it over, "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, this is you in the picture right?"

At that moment, the old man's cloudy eyes reddened, with some crystals vaguely flickering in them.

She lowered her head and wiped her face, and said in a shaky voice, "No ... no, you've got the wrong person."

The old man was at a loss for words and pushed them away to escape, this kind of formation also attracted a lot of people to stop, Su Qinglan pulled back the Ren Lord who still wanted to chase after him again, and gently shook his head.

"Don't chase it, if it causes agitation, the group will know about it."

"But where will you find her next time? It's so hard to get a good one to lay hands on." He braced himself somewhat reluctantly and lit a cigarette.

Liu Guofu is the best entry point at the moment, since he has already cooperated with Gu, he must know a lot of things about Gu.

And in front of them, this old lady who was canceled by her own son's hand, is the handle that they can smoothly take Liu Guofu.

But ... why is the old lady so resistant to hearing Liu Guofu s name again, and what is the matter with the canceled accounts and the cases that have been harmoniously handled.

Su Qinglan pressed her doubts to the bottom of her heart and returned to the car and once again took out her computer and searched.

"What are you looking for again?" Renlord unscrewed a bottle of water and glanced at it in disbelief.

He knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know anything about hacking.

"There must have been something going on when you could have sued back then, but now that you're living like this and instead you're running away from it."

She familiarly accessed all of Liu Guofu's information while searching for keywords in the large database of information.

A full half hour later, she had a flash of light.

There it is!

"We're going to the hospital, the Wellness Hospital in the suburbs." She closed her computer, a sharp glint in her eye.

"Liu Guofu goes to the hospital every once in a while, and his card makes a high expense to the hospital every month, the expense is owned by a girl named Liu Yue."

Liu GF, Liu Y.

With the same last name, the story of it is somewhat intriguing.

Ren Lord has already accepted the fact that he is a driver, start the car unimpressed, "Don't sell the story, in the end have found out what."

"Not sure yet, just my guess." She rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully, "The one called Liu Yue, her account is not in the Liu family, and a deeper check revealed that she was a child of an orphanage, adopted by Liu Guofu's parents in earlier years, but suffering from leukemia."

"Leukemia?" He murmured under his breath, his brow furrowing slightly, "It's quite a basket case."

"Do you suppose it's possible that the old lady was trying to come up with an extra medical bill, too?"

"Dozens of dollars for the treatment cost of a drop in the bucket, Liu Guofu since he made his fortune can be so bad a sum of money? But parents he does not support, even canceled the household mother, can be so kind to pay for the sister's medical expenses?"

In this, she had caught a keen whiff of intrigue.

In the hospital, the little girl named Liu Yue had gone bald, but was cheerful and laughing with the patients around her.

The somewhat dark and old ward didn't seem so cold and silent because of the laughter, but this hospital was also notorious for being the worst.

"Looking human, but not doing anything." Ren Lord tsked, "This hospital is in bad condition, I don't know if they are sent for treatment or waiting to die."

Su Qinglan didn't say anything, she just walked over to the bedside of the hospital room and cordially extended her hand to Liu Yue, "Hello, my name is Mila, I wonder if I can come and ask you a few questions?"

Liu Yue looked at her in response to the sound and reached out to shake her hand as well, nodding her head, cheerful as a little sun, "Ask me? Is it an interview?"

"No, just a couple personal questions." She pushed up Liu Yue's wheelchair and went to the more private room.

On the way, Liu Yue chatted with her, even when she passed by some of the medical staff, she would greet them with enthusiasm.

Su Qinglan seemed to have been assimilated a bit, but she also felt a sourness in her heart.

"What problem is so mysterious?" Perhaps it was some bad premonition, Liu Yue looked at them, a slight furrow wrinkled between her brows.

"It may be a bit offensive, but this should be your foster mother's family's brother, right?" Su Qinglan once again took out that photo and gave it to Liu Yue for confirmation.

It had to be said that Liu Yue was hidden deep enough that when she looked for photos, she hardly saw any with Liu Yue in them, and it was no wonder that she overlooked it.

Liu Yue took the photo, as if very nostalgic stroking the face of the old man on it, "Yes, you are my brother's friends?"

"Can I have this picture?"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Qinglan nodded, "Can I find out more about your family relations and situation?"

Question to this, Liu Yue's expression abruptly darkened quite a bit, but also fulfilled the words he uttered, slowly said, "In fact, I haven't seen much of my brother, two months after I got sick, my mother had to sue my brother in order to help me with my treatment, and got a sum of alimony."

"But for this disease that sum of money was but a drop in the bucket, and after it was spent my mother fell ill and died. ... I am still alive now, and it is my brother who pays the expenses every month."

Under Liu Yue's narration, Su Qinglan and Ren Lord were both frowning.

It seems that not only has the household registration been eliminated externally, but internally even Liu Yue doesn't know that the old lady is still alive.

As he walked out of the hospital, Ren Lord was still a bit puzzled, "These things are messed up and not related at all, did you find anything?"

"Yes." She bowed her head, her brow furrowed.

"He needs to have a reason to pay for Liu Yue's treatment... A man who refuses to even support his mother will obediently treat his adopted sister? Or in a hospital like this."

She was scornful, and although some words were left unsaid, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

She reasonably suspected that the matter of canceling the account might have something to do with treating her sister's illness.

The next morning, she waited alone again under the overpass where people came and went.

Unsurprisingly, the old man did come back with the wild greens, sweating profusely, and it looked like he'd run out into the countryside kind of place to dig them up.

Still unattended, she walked over again.

The old man felt an indescribable rush at the sight of her and immediately packed up his things to leave but she took his hand, "I've come to talk to you about something today."

"The medicine Liu Guofu used on Liu Yue is just a low insurance, it won't cure her at all, at most it will only delay her death."

If she hadn't been suspicious yesterday to learn about the medicine the hospital had given Liu Yue, she wouldn't have known about it.

I did not expect this time, the old man heard the news extraordinarily excited, "You ... what did you say?!"

"That brute, how dare he even withhold the medicine for Yueyue!"

The old man cursed in pain and tears, and the sound attracted passersby to stop.
