University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"Speaking of which, my girlfriend is really considerate. Lately, every time I try to transfer money to her, she refuses to accept it."

"Wake up, dude, that’s my girlfriend. And recently, she hasn’t been accepting my money transfers either. She says my living expenses aren’t much as it is, and she wants me to have a more comfortable life at school."

The two guys exchanged a glance.

In unison, they said, "She’s truly an understanding and good girl!"

Chen Mu: "!!!!"

-

"I feel like Dr. Chen is going to lose it any second now."

"Imagine if these were your students, you’d probably lose it too."

"Hai City University: How do we clarify that not all our students are like this??!!"

"Really! I don’t believe it!"

"Every day I grit my teeth watching the school live stream, and every time I watch these kinds of streams, I feel like they’re slandering me!"

"I’m completely numb now. Even my mom has called to tell me not to follow my schoolmates’ examples."

"Alright alright!!!"

"..."

-

Su Bingbing glanced at Chen Mu beside her, looking like he was ready to bang his head against the wall at any moment.

A slightly excited smile curled up at the corners of her lips.

Speaking of which.

If it wasn’t for dealing with this group of fragile university students, there would rarely be a chance to see Chen Mu looking so desperate and helpless.

With a cheerful expression, she gently nudged Chen Mu beside her with her elbow. "Dr. Chen, mind if I ask, how do you feel right now?"

Su Bingbing didn’t bother hiding her smile.

After all.

Dr. Chen’s look of despair is kind of cute.

Chen Mu lifted his head.

Staring at the ceiling.

Let out a deep sigh: "I want to quit!!!"

Su Bingbing: "Hahaha!!!"

Noticing the attention of the two Wolong and Fengchu also turn towards them.

Su Bingbing didn’t continue to provoke Chen Mu like before.

She just smiled and asked the two Wolong and Fengchu, "So, how much did you each transfer to that girl?"

The Wolong and Fengchu spoke in unison.

And reported a number.

2999!

Chen Mu: "???"

Even Su Bingbing, who was prepared to slowly guide them, couldn’t quite hold her expression upon hearing this number.

She looked speechlessly at the somewhat proud "Wolong and Fengchu."

Sighing, she said, "Isn’t it... After the 2999 transfer, she didn’t accept your transfers anymore, and you guys don’t find this suspicious?"

Wolong and Fengchu shook their heads in unison.

"No problem at all!"

"She’s a good girl."

Chen Mu took another deep breath.

Just to prevent himself from dying of anger right there.

Su Bingbing helplessly spoke up, hinting, "Do you guys know what the fraud threshold for telecom scams is?"

Without a second thought, Wolong nodded and replied, "Of course we know. There was an awareness campaign before. The telecom fraud amount starts from three thousand for a case to be filed."

Wait a minute...

Three thousand???

At this moment.

The Wolong and Fengchu finally realized something wasn’t right.

These two who were just arguing fiercely moments ago now looked at each other in disbelief.

No way???

Can’t be!!!

-

"I’m dying of laughter, my wife spelled it out so clearly, and these two only just figured it out!"

"I actually started feeling a bit sorry for these two. They’ve been this naive and managed to survive all this time!"

"Hahahaha!!! Even the on-screen comments didn’t let them off!"

"You guys are really harsh with your words!"

"Of course my words aren’t nice, after all, listening to me speak is free!"

"Say what you will about the scammer being greedy, but at least she knew the filing limit is three thousand and didn’t surpass it."

"Say she’s not greedy, but she’s cunningly stuck it at 2999. It’s like she’s fleecing a sheep dry!"

"..."

-

Chen Mu sighed.

Looking at the despairing expressions on these two guys.

He helplessly said, "It looks like you two have definitely been victims of telecom fraud. Here’s the thing, report it to the police!"

One of the Wolong and Fengchu shook their head pale-faced, and said, "Dr. Chen, but reporting it to the police might not help."

"Why? You don’t trust the professionals?"

Chen Mu frowned.

Wolong and Fengchu exchanged glances.

As if there was something difficult to say that hadn’t been spoken yet.

Until.

When Chen Mu was about to lose his patience.

One of them.

Finally spoke in a mosquito-like voice, "When I transferred, I noted it as a gift."

"I did too..."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

Su Bingbing had been cautiously following Chen Mu.

Now she was genuinely worried.

In a moment.

These two fragile university students might be fine, but as the campus doctor, Chen Mu might be angered by their bizarre train of thought and end up in the ICU.

"Noting it as a gift, does that mean the money won’t come back?"

Finally realizing they might have been scammed, Wolong and Fengchu looked at Chen Mu for help.

Both of them showing.

Some signs of panic.

"2999, with that amount I could have bought a phone."

"Enough to attend a concert, too."

"I’ve been living frugally all semester!"

"It’s no wonder I didn’t notice anything wrong; it’s because you were also living frugally, making me think it was normal spending!"

"Says you! If you hadn’t been scammed online, I wouldn’t have noticed anything wrong with my online girlfriend!"

"You’re a victim too. Now you start blaming your buddy instead of reflecting on why only you were scammed and not others?"

"Because you’re a dumb dog!"

"You’re the dumb dog!"

"No, you’re the dumb dog!"

"You’re the big dumb dog!"

"..."

The two had initially been separated by the onlookers.

But once they both realized they were scammed, the onlookers thought things were resolved.

Letting their guard down.

Who would’ve thought.

Even knowing the other was also a victim, the two, once gathered again, started arguing fiercely.

Chen Mu stood on the side with a gloomy face.

He didn’t say a word.

But his hand.

Kept rubbing his aching forehead.

"Dr. Chen, say something!"

"If we report this now, is there any hope of getting the money back?"

After the Wolong and Fengchu had insulted each other for a while.

They found this didn’t solve their problem at all.

Right now.

The most pressing issue between them was clearly...

Whether their 2999 each could be recovered.

At this point, their minds were finally starting to work, just a little bit.

"Even though my girlfriend—oh no, the scammer—was smart to keep it at 2999, the victim isn’t just me; it’s both me and my friend, that’s two of us!"

His so-called friend was the other half of Wolong and Fengchu.

Who gave his companion a dissatisfied look.

But eventually nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, with the two of us combined, it’s almost six thousand. We should be able to file a case!"

"There don’t seem to be many university students at our school who’ve fallen for telecom scams for now."

"Is there any possibility the school could offer some legal assistance to help us recover the money?"

Faced with the eager, hopeful eyes of the two.

Chen Mu didn’t feel much relief at their realization.

On the contrary...

Chen Mu felt even more helpless at that moment.

Seeing these two desperately wanting to get their money back.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but sigh deeply, then remind them, "Knowing you’ve been scammed and need to use legal means to claim your rights is commendable in itself, but..."

Upon hearing the "but" from Chen Mu’s mouth.

The two fragile university students automatically shrank back slightly.

They exchanged a glance.

Feeling a sense of unprecedented helplessness.

People nowadays are smart.

Even those with low emotional intelligence are often surfing online.

So how could they not pick up on it?

In general.

After Chen Mu’s kind of "but"...

There would usually be a major twist.

Yet there they stood, at a loss, like two kids who’d done something wrong.

Chen Mu helplessly said, "Consulting legal issues with me, a campus doctor, isn’t that a bit excessive for you two..."

"I’m just a doctor, not a lawyer..."
