"Lin Jie, please save me, my stomach is killing me... ah... it's killing me..."

In a daze, Lin Jie heard An Kexin's cries, abruptly opened his eyes, and sat up.

He saw An Kexin clutching her stomach, rolling around on the carpet, her head drenched in sweat.

Acute appendicitis!

Lin Jie instantly made the judgment, jumped out of bed, examined An Kexin, and confirmed his judgment!

He first carried An Kexin onto the bed, comforting her, "Kexin, I'm here, don't be afraid! Hold on, I'll get the surgical tools."

He quickly went to the study, brought back the emergency surgical kit, and swiftly gave An Kexin an anesthetic injection, then disinfected the area.

Lin Jie picked up the scalpel, ready to make the incision...

Suddenly, he froze, holding the scalpel, unmoving...

"Lin Jie, hurry up and save me, do you want to let me die in pain?"

"Hurry up and save me!"

"Hurry up and save me..."

Sweat, the size of beans, covered Lin Jie's forehead, and his hand holding the scalpel trembled uncontrollably...

At this moment, Lin Jie's mind was blank, memories of surgery...

Gone...

Vanished completely and utterly, so suddenly, just as they had come...

"Save me... save me..."

"Kexin..."

Lin Jie jolted upright!

He gasped for a long time before realizing he was still in the bedroom, and everything from before was just a nightmare.

Looking to the side of the bed, An Kexin was nowhere to be seen, only her lingering fragrance remained...

Lin Jie, while recalling the medical knowledge in his mind, looked at his hands.

The dream just now was too realistic, truly scaring Lin Jie into a cold sweat!

"Lanruo, do you think the medical knowledge I've acquired will one day suddenly disappear?"

Through his medical skills, Lin Jie healed Lin Miao's eyes, received unimaginable wealth in return, and earned respect from many.

But the medical skills came to him so strangely, too easily, and deep inside Lin Jie, there was an unsettling fear.

That one day, these skills would suddenly leave him.

Unexpectedly, this fear was bluntly revealed in the form of a nightmare tonight.

"Some scientists claim that memory is stored in our brain's memory areas in a way similar to QR codes."

Shen Lanruo slowly said, "Recalling is just re-reading this data."

"The medical knowledge is already stored in your brain's memory area, so even if I disappear, this knowledge won't. However..."

Shen Lanruo's tone shifted, teasingly, "My existence proves the mysteriousness and unpredictability of this world, anything can happen, you know."

Lin Jie also knew he couldn't get a concrete answer from Shen Lanruo, but this conversation eased his mind a lot.

Seeing the time, it was just past nine in the evening, Lin Jie picked up the phone and dialed An Kexin's number.

"Dad, it's a call from Lin Jie."

Following this, An Kexin formally greeted, "Hello, Lin Jie!"

Lin Jie understood the first sentence was meant for him, a reminder not to speak recklessly.

Hearing An Kexin again, Lin Jie felt more at ease, saying, "I'm asking, any new developments regarding last night's matter?"

"Jiang Feihang has been officially detained by the Public Security Bureau; it's in the evidence-gathering stage."

An Kexin said happily, "My dad says three or five people have already come forward with real-name accusations against him for siphoning, misappropriating, and embezzling funds, taking kickbacks, etc. The funds provable exceed five million, quite enough to land him in serious trouble."

"Also, Pan Zhiying confessed completely after learning Jiang Feihang was taken by the police."

From An Kexin's narration, Lin Jie learned that Pan Zhiying was discovered with a brain tumor at Kangning Hospital.

As an older pregnant woman, after learning she had a brain tumor, Pan Zhiying was extremely tense and anxious, resulting in a miscarriage in just a few days.

This was Jiang Feihang's first child in many years, and he valued it especially.

Pan Zhiying was afraid of blaming herself and being abandoned, so she kept it a secret.

Because she knew from the doctors that if she had brain tumor surgery, the child might not survive.

Originally, Jiang Feihang insisted on having the child before the brain tumor surgery, and while Pan Zhiying was troubled about persuading him, Jiang Feihang suddenly decided to have Lin Jie do the surgery.

Hearing this, Lin Jie understood, it must be the Hu Family who approached Jiang Feihang, swaying him with unknown methods or benefits.

According to Pan Zhiying, in subsequent check-ups, besides the genuine brain tumor examination, the child-related checkup data were all fabricated by her doctor friends.

An Kexin chuckled lightly, "In that case, we should thank her, or you wouldn't have spotted the flaw in the fake lab reports."

Lin Jie also laughed and said, "As thanks, I won't hold her accountable. After all, she's just a pawn being used."

"How did the Hu Family react to this?"

"Hello, Lin Jie!"

An Weize's voice came through the phone, "News came out in the evening that Hu Yitong was admitted to Kangning Hospital this morning, reportedly with signs of a stroke."

"Hello, Uncle An!"

Lin Jie, feeling a bit guilty, greeted, "Hopefully, that old guy can hold on for a few more years to see Kangning Hospital go bankrupt or change hands."

An Weize laughed heartily, "Old man Fu's direct action pretty much declares that anyone using underhanded methods against you will face the full retaliation of the Fu Family."

"Old Man Hu understands that this was his only shot, which you unexpectedly neutralized."

"His mild stroke this time is both from annoyance and anger."

"But don't worry, with Old Man Hu's current health and the Hu Family's medical conditions, he can definitely hold on for a few more years."

After discussing more matters concerning Anlin Hospital, Lin Jie hung up the phone.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from Lin Jie's stomach.

He got up, planning to make some food in the kitchen, and as he reached the living room, he saw Lin Miao entering the house.

"Brother, brother!"

Lin Miao picked up Lele, who ran to her side excitedly, and came to Lin Jie, scrunching her small nose, asking, "Did Sister Kexin come over?"

Lin Jie, recalling her keen sense of smell akin to a sniffer dog, discreetly stepped back, saying, "Yes, she came over to discuss a few things."

He quickly asked, "Seeing how excited you are, do you have something interesting to tell me?"

Lin Miao suddenly stepped closer, sniffed Lin Jie, then snorted coldly, saying, "I'm not a child anymore. I know what I need to know."

"You two..."

Lin Miao paused abruptly, exhaled, and said, "Sister Kexin is actually quite nice, she's good at taking care of people."

"Are you two secretly dating, or are you just..."

That question was really hard to answer, Lin Jie's face turned stern, saying, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't be asking. Quickly, tell me your news."

Lin Miao pouted, hummed, and said, "I can't be bothered with your shy business."

"Let me tell you."

"In the evening, I was out shopping with Sister Yang and Sister Mengjiao, we ran into some thugs who started bothering us, and Brother Qin Gang happened to come by..."

Lin Miao said excitedly, "You should've seen it; he punched one, kicked another, knocked all those thugs down."

She sneaked a glance at Lin Jie, whispered, "However, we were taken to the police station. Later, a military officer said a few words, and the police let us go."

Lin Jie nodded, saying, "With you three beauties together, you're definitely eye-catching. Be more mindful of your safety in the future."

Lin Miao pulled out a stun gun from her bag, proudly saying, "If Brother Qin Gang hadn't shown up, I would've used this on those bad guys."

"Regardless, as a girl, you should be extra careful."

Lin Jie walked towards the kitchen, "I'm going to make some food, do you want to eat too?"

Lin Miao patted her stomach, contemplating, "There's still room, I can have another meal."

"You little foodie!" Lin Jie muttered under his breath.
