Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1069 - 1031: The Most Rational Attitude

On Wednesday morning, while Lin Miao was serving congee, she noticed Lin Jie arriving late.Seeing the fatigue he couldn't hide and the very obvious dark circles under his eyes, Lin Miao couldn't help but ask with concern, "Brother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

As she said this, she shot a glance filled with implicit blame at An Kexin.

An Kexin hurriedly explained in grievance, "I just washed up and slept after I got back last night; A-Jie woke up around four in the morning to go to the study. His current state isn't because of me."

Lin Jie accepted the bowl of congee Lin Miao handed over and explained, "There's an issue with the experimental therapy that I'm trying to solve, so I had trouble sleeping."

"This will pass after a while."

"A-Jie, your health is your own. Don't push yourself too hard," Zhang Xiaoxiao advised.

Lin Jie acknowledged with a "hmm" and said, "I know my limits."

"Let's eat. Also, for the gathering this afternoon, if there's anything you want to eat, let Auntie Lu know in advance so she can prepare…"

After breakfast, just as Lin Jie was about to head out to the hospital, he received the unexpected visitor Li Haoxiang in the living room.

"Expert Lin, the matter you instructed yesterday evening has been clarified."

"So fast?" Lin Jie was somewhat surprised.

Li Haoxiang chuckled lightly and said, "The matter itself wasn't complicated, plus the guys working with me are pretty good at investigation and collecting evidence."

"After a night of work, they finally got definite results."

Lin Jie made a sound of acknowledgment and asked, "Was it my student's fault?"

Li Haoxiang shook his head, "We can confirm it wasn't."

"According to their investigation, this person named Zhong Xishan played a horse riding project at the farmhouse resort after being thrown down by Dr. Gao. He even participated in a rather intense hundred-meter horse riding race with a companion."

"If he had internal injuries from the fall, this horse race would have caused him to feel something was wrong physically."

"However, based on our further investigation, from the end of the activity up until the journey back to Binhai City District by bus,"

"Several companions who interacted with him stated they never saw any look of pain or discomfort on his face, nor did they hear him talk about feeling unwell."

Lin Jie took a folder from Li Haoxiang's hand, opened it, and saw several handwritten testimonies.

As he perused them, he asked, "Then, what exactly caused his liver and spleen rupture?"

"Hmm, who is this woman?"

Lin Jie pointed at a picture in the folder, clearly printed out from surveillance video, although not very clear.

The image showed a plump woman intimately holding a man's arm as they walked along a road in a residential area.

"This woman is the reason behind Zhong Xishan's liver and spleen rupture."

Li Haoxiang softly explained, "Zhong Xishan and this woman had dinner at Yuxiang Renjia, returning to the residential area where Zhong Xishan lived at ten past ten."

"This photo was captured by the surveillance video at that time in the residential area."

"At eleven thirty-six, 120 received an emergency call from Zhong Xishan."

"At eleven fifty-one, the residential area's surveillance video captured this woman hurriedly leaving."

"According to our investigation, this woman is a leader at Zhong Xishan's workplace."

"She has a family."

After emphasizing this point, Li Haoxiang added quietly, "After thorough investigation, our people took these investigation materials and directly went to find Zhong Xishan early in the morning."

"Faced with this evidence, Zhong Xishan had no choice but to confess that the position used that night was woman on top, man on the bottom, and the movements were a bit too intense, leading to internal organ injuries."

"Pressed by his parents, Zhong Xishan, in a moment of desperation, blamed Dr. Gao for his injuries."

"Zhong Xishan stated that he is willing to apologize to Dr. Gao and return the over twenty thousand yuan in medical treatment fees that Dr. Gao had paid in advance, hoping we won't expose this matter."

"Expert Lin, we recorded the confession Zhong Xishan made at the time."

"But how this matter should ultimately be handled depends on you and Dr. Gao!"

Lin Jie scoffed, "Truly shameless."

"I can understand making excuses to cover for that woman, but knowingly falsely accusing an innocent person and then feeling at ease having them pay for medical bills—that's utterly unforgivable."

"Moreover, just a verbal apology and reimbursement of the previously paid medical expenses?"

Lin Jie scoffed and said, "This person's sincerity in apologizing is grossly insufficient."

"Lawyer Li, let's proceed with the judicial route; he must pay an adequate price for the wrongs he's committed."

As a lawyer, Li Haoxiang was naturally not afraid of the matter escalating.

He nodded and said, "Understood, I will have the team's lawyers handle this matter immediately."

Lin Jie thought of something and asked, "How have the negotiations for the Anlin Garden project that you've been working on with An Kexin recently been going?"

Li Haoxiang sighed and said, "There's progress every day in the negotiations, but it's tough going; it's a real cutthroat competition."

"The Anlin Garden national project, with at least a five hundred million investment threshold, although it kept out those without enough strength, those entering, whether individuals or units, are all remarkably capable with strong negotiating teams."

Lin Jie made a sound of acknowledgment, suddenly realized something, and confirmed, "Lawyer Li, did you say a five hundred million investment threshold?"

Li Haoxiang responded affirmatively, "Yes, several parties have jointly agreed that those entering this project must invest at least five hundred million."

Darn it, another five hundred million!

Lin Jie's mind went blank. Turning his head to look at An Kexin, who was dressed up and coming down the stairs, he shouted, "Kexin, another five hundred million; even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much!"

An Kexin came over and chuckled lightly, "Why are you so excited?"

"This five billion investment is something you and I are putting in together, not just you alone."

"Besides, Four Seas Bank has promised that they will fully provide preferential loans for these funds."

"You don't have to worry about your repayment ability."

An Kexin analyzed, "When we use this funding, it will be a year or two down the line. By then, Anlin Hospital will have already opened, and the Anlin Garden Binhai project should also be up and running."

"As long as the operational level of Anlin Hospital and Anlin Garden is above the passing line, our valuation will significantly rise, and mortgage loans of seven or eight billion, even ten billion, are possible."

Lin Jie was truly a bit bewildered.

He thought for a moment and said, puzzled, "I didn't invest money in Anlin Hospital."

"The tens of millions I invested were loaned to Weize Company. I also didn't invest money in the Anlin Garden Binhai project; that money came from a bank loan."

"As soon as these two projects start operation, I'm worth billions?"

Li Haoxiang chuckled lightly, "Expert Lin, while you didn't put in much actual money, you invested something all other investors desperately desire..."

"Reputation!"

"Expert Lin, your reputation and appeal are the key and greatest guarantee for the successful operation and profit of the Anlin Hospital and Anlin Garden project. This is something billions couldn't buy."

Lin Jie seemed to understand, and couldn't help but remind An Kexin, "You're playing on a larger and larger scale now, casually talking about investments of billions, even tens of billions."

"Don't lose control and end up with nothing but a basket of water, losing everything we have currently."

An Kexin stepped forward and hugged Lin Jie gently, saying softly, "Ah Jie, don't worry, I've got things figured out."

"Compared to a lot of people playing with high leverage and other capital operations, our approach is very stable, very conscientious."

"Anlin Hospital and Anlin Garden are tangible industrial operations, not something virtual. Even if unexpected events occur, it won't result in ruinous loss..."

Lin Jie arrived at the University Affiliated Hospital's annex building and first called in Gao Yanhong, explaining to her in detail the situation Li Haoxiang had investigated.

Seeing her chest heaving with anger, Lin Jie comforted, "Teacher, I will stand up for you."

"I've already asked Lawyer Li to resolve this issue through legal means. A lawyer should be coming to you shortly to have you sign authorization agreements and other legal documents."

"Just sign them, and you don't need to worry about the subsequent matters; leave it all to the lawyers to handle."

Gao Yanhong nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher!"

"But, will solving this matter through legal means expose that woman?"

"Teacher, you mentioned that the woman has a family?"

Lin Jie snorted coldly and said, "Having a family, she should have more self-respect."

"Besides, such matters can't be hidden for long; they will inevitably be exposed. Exposing it earlier is better for the woman's husband than later."

"Alright, don't worry yourself over this matter, just coldly observe the aftermath!"

"Come with me to the conference room, we have important matters to attend to today..."

In the conference room, Lin Jie faced a group of military doctors and his students, recounting the inspiration he received from Pearl last night.

"Everyone, the drip infusion of inducers and inhibitors is also an external stimulus, just relatively gentler."

"This time, I'm preparing to be more aggressive and risky. I plan to apply deep and intense stimulation to the tumor areas of patients in beds five, sixteen, and thirty-three, to quickly induce changes in the tumors."

Lin Jie paused for a moment and said, "I hope this change will be what I expect, but I have no assurance!"

"To be blunt, this is a real venture!"

Lin Jie glanced at the military doctors, whose faces bore deep worry, and said, "If you don't have better suggestions or methods, go prepare. The surgery will take place in two hours."

After saying this, Lin Jie waited for a minute, and seeing no one speak, he turned and left the conference room.

"Lin..."

Liu Shao looked at Lin Jie's back, just about to call out but was stopped by Dr. Ning.

"Do you have a better suggestion?"

Liu Shao looked at the serious expression on Dr. Ning's face, shook his head, and said, "No. But Colonel Lin's method of high-intensity stimulation is way too risky and could very likely induce premature tumor metastasis."

"Colonel Lin is risking patients' lives!"

"Dr. Ning, we need to intervene, we must!"

Dr. Ning's eyes suddenly grew sharp, and he harshly criticized, "Risking patients' lives?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"This is an experimental therapy presided over by Colonel Lin. Put bluntly, the forty-seven patients participating in this experiment are Colonel Lin's guinea pigs."

"Risking their lives, isn't this exactly what Colonel Lin should be doing?"

Seeing Liu Shao's face turn somber, Dr. Ning softened his tone somewhat, "You're aware of those three's situations; if Colonel Lin doesn't employ this radical method, they won't last for a few months."

"Colonel Lin's method, although highly risky and unpredictable, also holds the hope of success, right?"

He further persuaded, "Dr. Liu Shao, you need to realize that experimental therapy means trial and error. Without sacrificing a few lives, how can we hope to achieve valuable research outcomes?"

Dr. Ning took a deep breath and slowly said, "Honestly, I actually admire Colonel Lin's daring and radical decision."

Confounded, Liu Shao heard Dr. Ning speak softly, "With Colonel Lin's level of medical expertise, he should strive to eliminate emotional factors like compassion, empathy, and reverence, approaching medical research with the utmost rationality."

"In such a case, Colonel Lin can achieve the greatest research results with the minimal cost and shortest time..."
