Lin Jie pushed the door open and entered Luo Shanshan's office, designated for work and hosting guests, only to discover there were two other people in the room.

In the primary guest seat sat a man in his forties, with a square face, carrying an air of authority; beside him was a young woman with an ordinary appearance.

Both were dressed rather formally, with stern expressions!

Luo Shanshan saw Lin Jie, smiled helplessly, and introduced, "Lin Jie, these two are from our higher authority, leaders from the health system, Comrade Wang Mingli and Comrade Jiang Nan. They are here to investigate your illegal practice of medicine."

"Illegal practice of medicine?"

Lin Jie looked at Luo Shanshan, puzzled. Could it be that the clinic had been reported?

Wang Mingli looked at Lin Jie, slightly frowning, finding him younger than he had expected.

He asked sternly, "Comrade Lin Jie, I ask you, on the morning of the eleventh of this month, around eight o'clock, did you perform a cesarean section on a woman named Xiao Feifei?"

So, it was this case under investigation, not the clinic, Lin Jie suddenly realized. Simultaneously, a surge of anger rose within him!

How could saving someone be wrong?

Moreover, he knew that typically, such matters were only processed when the parties involved filed a complaint with the health authority.

He felt an unspeakable sense of resentment towards the ungratefulness of He Tongfang's family.

He curbed his emotions somewhat, walked to the other side of Luo Shanshan, and sat down, saying, "Yes, this matter did occur! However, that wasn't illegal medical practice; it was emergency treatment."

"Whether it's illegal medical practice or emergency treatment is not for you to decide." Jiang Nan, standing beside Wang Mingli, said sharply, "You just need to recount what happened that day in detail."

Wang Mingli glanced at Jiang Nan, his mouth twitching slightly, then said in a gentle tone, "Comrade Lin Jie, don't be nervous, we are just investigating the situation that day; you just need to truthfully describe the facts of that day."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "That morning, the typhoon hadn't passed yet; it was still very windy and rainy outside, and the power was cut off in the neighborhood."

"A man named He Tongfang suddenly came knocking to find Doctor Luo Shanshan, saying his wife had fallen, her water broke, and the child was about to be born."

"So I took the surgical emergency medical kit..."

"How do you have a surgical emergency medical kit?"

Jiang Nan's eyes lit up, hastily interrupting Lin Jie and asking, "This is very specialized equipment; even ordinary doctors don't have such kits at home. How do you have it?"

Her questioning tone made Lin Jie very displeased, and he directly retorted, "Is this medical emergency kit a prohibited item clearly banned by the state?"

Wang Mingli raised a hand to stop Jiang Nan, who was about to speak, gave Lin Jie a slight smile, and said, "It's not, anyone can buy it."

Lin Jie looked at Jiang Nan and said coldly, "I have unique hobbies; can't I buy a set to collect?"

"Isn't it that if I buy a kitchen knife, I also have to report it to you? You're overstepping your bounds a bit!"

"You..."

Jiang Nan was momentarily speechless, glaring in anger, and gritting her teeth.

She belonged to the industry authority, not the police, justice, or other strong departments. The purpose of this trip was merely to investigate and understand the situation, and there really wasn't much she could do to Lin Jie.

"Jiang Nan, mind your attitude!"

Wang Mingli rebuked Jiang Nan, looking solemnly at Lin Jie, and said, "Comrade Lin Jie, please continue to recount the treatment process of that day. Remember, do not exaggerate or conceal anything; be truthful and accurate."

At that moment, Lin Jie described the pregnant woman's actual situation that day, his judgment, and the surgical process.

During this process, Jiang Nan was beside him, taking recordings with a voice recorder and using a notebook to record key narrations, but she didn't interrupt Lin Jie again.

Once Lin Jie finished his account, Wang Mingli pondered for a while and said, "At that time, did you explicitly tell the patient that you were not a doctor?"

"This..."

Lin Jie hesitated in his heart, recalled for a moment, and said, "I only told He Tongfang who came to find me that I'm not a doctor, just someone who knows a bit about medical skills."

"When I arrived at the pregnant woman's home and saw her critical condition, I couldn't attend to other matters. After preparing a bit, I performed the cesarean section!"

"The family of the pregnant woman, seeing me with the emergency kit, might have naturally assumed I was a doctor!"

Hearing Lin Jie say this, Luo Shanshan couldn't help but feel an urge to facepalm, thinking to herself: you'd die by saying one less sentence.

Jiang Nan closed her notebook, looking mockingly at Lin Jie, and said, "Some people think they know a little and believe they understand everything, believing heaven is old, the earth is second, and themselves in the middle are third."

"You really dare, without any qualifications, you went ahead and performed surgery; these are two lives you're dealing with."

Lin Jie snorted through his nose, saying, "I dare to do it not because I think I'm the third greatest, but because I truly have confidence. If I hadn't operated at that time, it really would have been two dead."

"The result now is that I did the surgery, I succeeded, and saved both mother and daughter!"

Jiang Nan laughed and pointed at Lin Jie, shouting, "What's with your arrogance!"

"You should be glad you got lucky, and the surgery succeeded! Otherwise, it wouldn't be us investigating your illegal practice, but the police investigating you for manslaughter."

Seeing Lin Jie about to retort, Luo Shanshan got a bit anxious, reached out to tug at Lin Jie, and warned, "Lin Jie, say a few words less!"

Stopping Lin Jie, Luo Shanshan smiled brightly at Wang Liming and said, "In your investigation, our clinic and Lin Jie will fully cooperate. Lin Jie is just young and impulsive; he feels a bit indignant being investigated after saving someone, please don't mind, please don't mind!"

Wang Liming's expression also softened a little, saying, "I can also understand Comrade Lin Jie's feelings!"

"I am also a Medical College graduate, and based on Comrade Lin Jie's descriptions of the situation at the time, the pregnant woman was indeed in a very critical condition!"

"We will also go to the hospital to investigate the patient and the patient's family and will consult relevant experts' opinions!"

"Whether Comrade Lin Jie's actions constitute illegal medical practice or emergency treatment, we will reach a final verdict by comprehensively evaluating all evidence."

At the clinic's entrance, bidding farewell to Wang Liming and Jiang Nan, Luo Shanshan specifically highlighted, "I am somewhat acquainted with your Director Wu, please send my regards to him."

Seeing the two getting into the car and leaving, Luo Shanshan turned around, her face turned dark immediately.

Unable to openly criticize Lin Jie, she could only cautiously advise, "I know you feel unsettled, but they are, after all, our supervisory authority. As the saying goes, 'a current official is better than an official in authority,' and ruining relationships with them is not a wise move."

Sighing deeply, Luo Shanshan continued, "Based on your description, your actions were definitely emergency medical treatment, and I will leverage my connections to communicate with their leaders."

"Hmm... to be safe, Lin Jie, you'd better contact An Kexin and Du Feixue; the An Family deals in medical equipment and surely has connections with the health bureau. The Du Family is also powerful; they might be able to help."

Luo Shanshan instructed Zhu Qiang, "Go find Big Hei, tell him I have something for him to do!"

Lin Jie also realized he had been somewhat irrational and impulsive.

Returning to the office, he took out his phone, thought for a moment, and finally dialed An Kexin's number.

This was the first contact between them since that night.
