On Monday morning, Auntie Xiao Wang saw Old Lady Ma entering the ward and immediately, like presenting a treasure, handed over a pure cotton thin pajama.

"Old lady, feel it, touch it!"

Old Lady Ma took the pajama, touched it casually, and said, "It's dry, what's the matter?"

Suddenly, she realized and asked in surprise, "Is this what was just changed off Jinshou?"

Auntie Xiao Wang nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, just changed it not long ago, I changed it myself."

"For so many years, the pajamas changed off Jinshou in the morning were always somewhat damp, sometimes even soaked, and we had to change the bed sheets."

"It's the first time I've ever encountered a pajama this dry, like today."

"Old lady, do you think the treatment started yesterday is effective?"

Old Lady Ma looked at Ma Jinshou, who was sleeping quietly on the bed, put down the pajama, clasped her hands together, and said, "This is truly Guanyin Bodhisattva's blessing, finally a good result!"

"Auntie Xiao Wang, this change is a good change. It means Expert Lin really found the root of the problem and treated it correctly."

"Jinshou sweated profusely every night. Those Chinese medicine experts all said it was due to weakness and blood deficiency, and eating so much blood and energy tonic Chinese medicine had no effect at all. The treatment just started yesterday evening, and immediately had an effect."

"This Expert Lin really lives up to his reputation."

Auntie Xiao Wang agreed, "Yes, yes, truly impressive."

"Expert Lin didn't even show up. He just looked at Jinshou's test results and diagnosed the root cause. Such high-level skill leaves you speechless."

She added with a face full of feeling, "If only we had asked Expert Lin to treat Jinshou a bit earlier."

Old Lady Ma came to the bedside, gently touched Ma Jinshou's forehead, and softly said, "Coming to see Dr. Lin now is not too late either."

She moved to the sofa area, accepted the cup of water handed over by Auntie Xiao Wang, took a sip, and said, "Auntie Xiao Wang, you've seen Xie Xingze from the Xie Family a few times too."

"Do you think this Dr. Lin looks like him? Does he look like Xie Xingze's father?"

Auntie Xiao Wang replied with a smile full of enthusiasm, "More than just looks alike, they are practically carved from the same mold. At that time, I almost thought..."

"Old lady, you couldn't possibly think they are..."

"They are one in the Capital City, one in Binhai?"

Old Lady Ma snorted and said, "Twenty-two years ago, Xie Xingze's father resisted the family's marriage arrangement, didn't want to marry the girl from the Liu Family, and actually left the Capital City for over half a year."

"I had someone investigate. This Dr. Lin has a twin sister, and they were raised by their maternal grandparents."

"No one knows who their biological father is."

"As for their mother..."

Old Lady Ma shook her head and sighed, "Shortly after they were born, she ran away with another man and never returned. The two children had a very tough early life."

"So, in saying this, Old lady, Dr. Lin really might be a child of the Xie Family."

"Tsk-tsk..."

With that agreement, Auntie Xiao Wang eagerly added, "Old lady, I also heard some news; all the doctors here say this Dr. Lin is a legendary figure, a general practitioner who can cure any illness."

"They also say that Dr. Lin's most prominent specialty is neurosurgery, and there's no tumor he can't remove."

Old Lady Ma stood up immediately, excitedly asked, "Are all of these things you say true?"

Auntie Xiao Wang swore, "Old lady, how could I joke about such things, it's well-known fact among all the doctors and nurses in this hospital..."

At this moment, Lin Jie arrived at the small auditorium of the Medical College, getting ready to start the Monday lecture.

With the summer break approaching, more and more students started arriving early for school, and many more students came to today's lecture, nearly filling the small auditorium, which can hold five hundred people.

Recalling Xiang Rong's mention of publishing the lecture notes, Lin Jie, after putting on his portable microphone, said, "Before officially starting the lecture, I would like to conduct a small survey. Please cooperate and answer truthfully."

Seeing no one whispering to each other, Lin Jie continued, "Here's the situation: someone contacted me, saying they could compile my lecture notes into a book for publication."

"He jokingly said that my lecture notes could completely serve as an encyclopedia of medicine, a reference book."

"I want to ask you, do you think publishing the lecture notes would be valuable?"

No sooner had he asked than many people shouted: "Yes, absolutely valuable."

"I support publishing a book. If it's published, I'll definitely buy a set."

"Calling it a reference book is not wrong at all, it's so in-depth."

The entire small auditorium was immediately filled with loud commotion.

"Teacher!"

Following the voice, a tall student stood up.

He held up a self-bound book, roughly three to four hundred pages thick, and said loudly, "Teacher, I've been organizing and printing the content of your lectures every time."

"I've already compiled five volumes like this."

"Teacher, I have them too!"

"Me too!"

Nearly a hundred people stood up one after another, each waving a printed copy of varying thickness in their hands.

The tall guy who had just stood up called for everyone to quiet down a bit and continued shouting, "Teacher, the content you taught is exceptionally systematic and well-rounded. It's no exaggeration to say it's a reference book."

"Honestly, with these bound books, I feel like a lot of the messy reference books can be completely ignored."

"I strongly support you publishing a book. I'm willing to sponsor two thousand yuan."

"I'll sponsor a thousand!"

"Five hundred!"

"Ten!"

"I can contribute ten thousand!"

The small auditorium became noisy again. Seeing three or four hundred people expressing their opinions eagerly, Lin Jie was quite pleased, even though he understood many were just faking it.

After he repeatedly gestured, the small auditorium returned to silence.

"It seems most of you support the suggestion to publish a book."

Lin Jie said happily, "Since many of you believe that compiling and publishing this content into a book will help your studies and work, I'll reorganize and proofread it and try to get it published as soon as possible."

"As for sponsorship, it's not necessary. I'm not in need of money for publishing."

"Alright, the survey ends here. Let's start the class now..."

At twelve noon, the class ended.

Outside the small auditorium, Lin Jie met Su Xiaohui, the junior sister who had been invited by his friend, Monkey.

Seeing Lin Jie come out, Su Xiaohui said gratefully, "Dr. Lin, thank you for your help. I've said all the good things I could during this time, but the other side just wouldn't relent. I really had no other way."

"Monkey is my friend, and I only happened to find out about this yesterday, then contacted you immediately."

Leading Su Xiaohui outside, Lin Jie continued, "Let's find a place to have lunch first, then you can tell me all the details of what happened."

While having lunch with Su Xiaohui and Qin Gang, Lin Jie learned about the origins and developments of the incident.

The process wasn't too complicated.

When the law enforcement officers shut down the racing track, they also seized Monkey's car.

This wasn't really unjust, because the car Monkey had invested a lot of time and money into modifying was often used for racing on the track.

However, Monkey wasn't having it and got into a dispute with the law enforcement officers.

Both sides were a bit harsh, and then it turned into a physical altercation.

Despite Monkey's skinny appearance, he was agile, had plenty of fighting experience, and was skilled, managing not to suffer much while breaking the collarbone and rib of one officer.

Su Xiaohui said angrily, "Monkey was too foolish and impulsive. He beat a person in front of so many witnesses, and so severely. Now he's been taken as a prime example and arrested."

"Brother Dahei and a few others are busy trying to pull strings, willing to compensate more privately to settle this matter."

"However, this case is reportedly marked within the upper leadership of the other side, making it hard to resolve privately. Moreover, the guy with the broken bones has not been willing to relent, dragging things on like this."

Su Xiaohui sighed and worriedly said, "We consulted with a lawyer. If the other side pushes this as an assault on law enforcement, escalating the matter and dealing with it severely, Monkey could face a maximum of three years imprisonment."

"Dr. Lin, you know many influential people now. Could you ask someone to help mediate?"

"Serving three to five months, paying more compensation is all acceptable."

Lin Jie loyally replied, "Now that I know about this, I won't stand by and do nothing!"

"It's just..."

He said with a hint of reproach, "Monkey has been detained for some time. Why haven't you contacted me until now?"

Su Xiaohui looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, actually, it was Dahei and Monkey who didn't want to contact you."

"Why?" Lin Jie asked, puzzled.

Since it had already been mentioned, Su Xiaohui no longer hid it, saying helplessly, "Monkey said that Dr. Lin, you and the An Family behind you have already fallen out with the Luo Family and have become rivals."

"They belong to the Luo Family's side. In this situation, asking for your help makes it hard to explain to the Luo Family."

"Expert Lin, for people like us who come from where we do, the most taboo is being indecisive and having a foot in both camps."

Lin Jie somewhat understood, as Monkey was half a person from the streets, where loyalty was highly valued.

"So, Su Xiaohui, do you want me to help or not?"

Su Xiaohui bit her lip and said, "Since I'm here, I want you to step in. I... don't want my senior brother to serve such a long sentence."

Lin Jie nodded, "Alright, let's go to the detention center together now, meet with Monkey, and see what he has to say."

Su Xiaohui gritted her teeth and said, "Dr. Lin, let's go see him. This time, even if Monkey disagrees, he has to agree."
