Lin Jie looked at the two sealed plastic bags in his hand.

One contained a small bundle of wine-red hair about twenty centimeters long, and the other had a small bunch of black hair only three or four centimeters long. He asked concernedly, "Was it collected without being noticed, avoiding unnecessary trouble?"

Da Hei patted Monkey's shoulder and said, "Dr. Lin, you might not believe it, but Monkey's pair of skillful hands were once known by the name Empty Hand Skill. He rarely fails. Collecting hair is the simplest task for him."

He further confirmed, "I was watching beside him when he collected the hair. Monkey neither made a mistake with the target nor disturbed them. Dr. Lin, you can be assured!"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Thank you, and thank you for your hard work!"

Monkey smiled a bit embarrassedly and said, "You're welcome, Dr. Lin! Well... I've washed my hands of such matters long ago. Now these hands are only used to repair and modify vehicles."

"But if you need me, I will definitely be obliged to help."

Lin Jie thought about his plan and said, "There may still be some occasions when I'll need your help. Of course, rest assured, as with this time, there won't be any major risks."

"Dr. Lin, you don't need to treat us as outsiders!"

Monkey said sincerely, "You helped Daya, helped Zhu Dazhi, saved Xiaoqi, you are our honored guest from Zhujia Port. Even if it were a matter of risking my neck, I wouldn't hesitate."

Regarding his statement, Lin Jie merely smiled lightly.

Everyone can say nice things, but when the critical moment comes, whether one can match their words with actions is uncertain. Without considerable contact and understanding, Lin Jie doesn't easily trust someone.

At this moment, he noticed Da Hei staring at the hair in his hand and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Da Hei chuckled, leaned in, and said mysteriously, "Dr. Lin, do you perhaps know some of that Southeast Asian Black Magic? Using this hair..."

Lin Jie, seeing his curious look, couldn't help but laugh slightly, saying, "Have you read too many supernatural novels? How did you come to think of Black Magic? It's all fictional; it can't exist in reality."

Da Hei took a step back, sheepishly saying, "I also think it's impossible, just felt that Dr. Lin, you are extraordinary, so you might know a little of it."

Lin Jie sent off Da Hei and Monkey, and the treatment-completed Zhou Yuda, Tang Xinling, and others also left the clinic.

"Doctor, thank you for your treatment!"

Having regained most of his vitality, Zhou Yuda, with a bright smile, said to Lin Jie, "We're here firstly to see the sea, and secondly to eat fresh, cheap seafood. Do you have any good restaurant recommendations?"

Lin Jie casually pointed to Zhujia Port below and said, "The Zhang Family Seafood and Seafood Little Kitchen in the village below are both good. They are small restaurants run by fishermen themselves, with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices!"

After saying this, he reminded, "If it's your first time eating seafood, be cautious. If allergic reactions occur, don't eat anymore. Remember to ask the restaurant owner for allergy medicine, as they usually have some available."

"Thanks for the reminder, we'll be careful!"

After expressing gratitude, Zhou Yuda led his classmates away from the clinic towards Zhujia Port.

Lin Jie returned to the second-floor ward, unexpectedly discovering that Li Ting, whom he thought had left in grievance and returned to the city, was chatting amiably with Lin Miao.

Seeing him come in, Li Ting got up and poured a bowl of porridge from a stainless-steel thermos and handed it to him, saying teasingly, "I hid in the bathroom, and you didn't come out to find me."

"If I hadn't recalled your back injury and had Miaomiao speak up for you, you'd have lost me as a friend."

Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes, disdainfully ignored her, and after taking the porridge bowl, drank it in a few gulps, saying, "If you have no other business today, stay at the clinic and keep Miaomiao company. I need to go out for a while!"

Li Ting waved her hand like swatting a fly and said, "Hurry and attend to your business; I'll take good care of Miaomiao."

"Brother, brother!"

Lin Miao called out anxiously, fearing Lin Jie would dash off in a blink, "It's been two days, can the gauze over my eyes be removed now?"

"Of course, it can!"

Lin Jie personally removed a layer of gauze for her, inspected it, and confirmed there were no issues, then instructed, "I'll be back in about two or three hours. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just call me."

He drove away from the clinic directly to the DHL office in Binhai City, sending the two hair samples via express international mail to the Jefferson Human Gene Research Center at the Mayo Clinic, USA.

The center is one of the most powerful human gene research centers in the world.

Lin Jie sent the hair samples with the intention of requesting this center to analyze the genes in the hair for potential diseases and genetic defects.

This analysis can be done by several human gene research institutions, but the precision and accuracy of their analyses are far inferior to those of the Jefferson Research Center, and naturally, the cost of this analysis is also quite high.

One specimen yields a detailed analysis report, costing twenty thousand US Dollars.

Just when Lin Jie was troubled about this foreign exchange, Shen Lanruo, the contact person gave him, also provided him with an anonymous Swiss account and password.

Lin Jie astonishingly found that the anonymous account contained over two hundred thousand US Dollars.

When he inquired about the source of the funds in this account, Shen Lanruo remained silent!

Lin Jie thought, everyone has secrets unknown to others, so he didn't pursue the matter further.

Having settled this matter, Lin Jie was about to drive back to Zhujia Port when he suddenly received a call from Han Wenbin, inviting him to meet at Rongji Health Soup House, the same place as last time, for lunch.

Lin Jie did not refuse, changed route, and after half an hour arrived at the Health Soup House.

Led by the waiter, Lin Jie in the private room met Han Wenbin and, as expected, Xiaoxiao.

"Lin Jie, Xiaoxiao's vocal cord polyp has thickened again."

"I've consulted some experts with Fei Xue's voice comparison audios and her previous vocal cord examination records; they all admit they can't achieve such results!"

Han Wenbin cut straight to the point, "Comparing comprehensively, still the old expert at your clinic has the highest level. Xiaoxiao has decided to undergo surgery, so I need you to mediate and arrange this!"

"As for the surgery and other costs, I concede to that Shanshan fellow if she asks for a hefty price."

Lin Jie indeed liked Xiaoxiao's songs; it would be a great pity for them to be ruined this way!

He thought for a moment and said, "I can do this, but Xiaoxiao's surgery is also not possible immediately."

"Why?" Xiaoxiao asked somewhat urgently.

Lin Jie noticed her voice was still melodious, but she deliberately lowered it.

He explained, "Your vocal cord polyp is still thickening; this shows that the hormones accumulated in your body are still in effect. Even if removed surgically, the vocal cord polyp may regrow."

"The main task now is to eliminate the residual hormones from your body. At the same time, activate all the ongoing hormone effects, allowing the vocal cord polyp to grow to its limit before operating!"

Feeling what Lin Jie said made sense, both Han Wenbin and Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

"Do you have any suggestions on how to stimulate it?" Han Wenbin pursued further.

Lin Jie thought for a while and said, "Traditional medicine perhaps, as it is more adept at this. Let Mr. Zhou from Jian'an Hall prescribe a formula!"

After the meal, Lin Jie patted his slightly swollen belly and unabashedly said, "Han Wenbin, last time I took away Eight-Treasure Soup from here, my sister loved it. Would you mind if I take two more servings this time?"
