"Dr. Hu, come in!"

Seeing that the late-night visitor was Hu Yuanqing, Lin Jie felt a bit strange.

For the past two or three months, they mainly communicated through email, at most just a phone call to discuss surgical plans.

Hu Yuanqing sat unceremoniously on the living room sofa, took a tablet out of his bag, brought up a set of brain CT images, and handed them to Lin Jie, saying heavily, "Take a look!"

The CT images showed a tumor four or five centimeters in diameter deep in the brain. As Lin Jie looked at it, he felt that the tumor seemed familiar, as if he had seen it before.

"Why do I find this patient's brain images somewhat familiar?!" Lin Jie mumbled to himself!

"You have indeed seen them before!"

Hu Yuanqing slowly explained, "More than four months ago, you were still living in Garden One Village. I showed you this person's CT images. What you see now is her latest brain scan."

Lin Jie remembered, it really happened, and it was also the day he was hired as a consultant.

He placed the tablet on the coffee table, puzzled, "There was no way to remove the tumor back then, and now it has grown much larger, making the surgery even more difficult."

"Are you planning to take a risky gamble?"

Hu Yuanqing nodded, saying, "My friend doesn't have much time left, so I want to take a risk."

"More importantly, I found someone whose surgical skills can rival those of world-renowned brain tumor experts."

"Who?" Lin Jie was also very intrigued.

Hu Yuanqing stared at Lin Jie, his face slowly showing dissatisfaction, and said unhappily, "Lin Jie, I've always been considerate of you. But for such an important matter, you are hiding it from me? Isn't that too much?"

This accusatory tone made Lin Jie very displeased, especially the word "too much" which felt particularly harsh!

"Too much? Dr. Hu, why would you say that?"

Lin Jie's tone also turned sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't our relationship simply an employment one? I provide surgical plans, you pay me, that's all!"

"Is it that the surgical plans I provide are unworthy of your payment?"

"This..."

Hu Yuanqing was momentarily speechless. The relationship between him and Lin Jie was essentially an employment one. More practically, he needed Lin Jie more than Lin Jie needed him.

After all, in all of Binhai City, there were a few neurosurgeons with skills comparable to his, but Lin Jie was unique.

Suddenly realizing this, Hu Yuanqing softened his tone and said, "I used the wrong words and got a bit anxious. To be honest, I saw a lot of information today, which I got from Hu Xinyi... from Xinyi."

"There is a lot of information about you, too much! After reading all of this, suddenly I had a very bold hypothesis!"

Hu Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "When this hypothesis popped into my mind, I almost thought I was crazy—how could it be possible!"

"But upon repeated consideration, only this hypothesis could perfectly explain many things!"

He stared with glowing eyes at Lin Jie and said, "You once said that your sister's vision recovery was due to a severe brain shock which dislodged and broke up the blood clot pressing on the visual area!"

"I clearly remember that your sister had a total of five brain blood clots—it wouldn't be such a coincidence for them all to break and disappear, would it?"

"If you don't mind, I'd like to conduct a detailed, high-resolution MRI on your sister. Maybe we could find something else, like some surgical traces that haven't completely disappeared?"

Lin Jie smiled faintly and said, "What are you trying to prove?"

"Your brain surgery plans, although brief and only highlighting crucial points, contain such professionalism and surgical insight that I am in awe."

"This indicates your deep, profound understanding of the brain."

Hu Yuanqing analyzed like Sherlock Holmes, "I also clearly remember that test of basic skills at Mr. Tan's house, where your hand dexterity and stability far exceeded mine."

"You possess extensive knowledge of the brain and dexterous, steady hands!"

"The emergency C-section in Jingtai District, you performed it even better than the OB-GYN chief. Never mind the medical skills, this also proves you have a strong nerve and the psychological composure to remain unshaken even in the face of a mountain collapse!"

"Taken together..."

Hu Yuanqing said excitedly, "You are the one who performed surgery on your sister, aren't you?"

"You're also the so-called foreign expert who did the brain surgery for An Weize, aren't you?"

"Lin Jie, tell me, is my hypothesis true?"

In response to his relentless questioning, Lin Jie calmly said, "Dr. Hu, you are indeed a bit crazy and your thinking is unclear. Go home, take a hot bath, get some sleep, and you'll realize just how absurd and laughable your hypothesis is."

Hu Yuanqing took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions and said, "I know you won't easily admit it. So, I'll propose to conduct a detailed examination on your sister first!"

"I can't believe that someone who can flawlessly remove An Weize's brain tumor would leave one or two blood clots remaining in your sister's brain."

Lin Jie stubbornly denied, "It's possible that the severe shock caused all the blood clots to break up at once, otherwise it wouldn't be called a miracle."

Hu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Your sister's situation is definitely not a miracle, you..."

He said, word by word, "You are the miracle, the greatest, most real miracle I've ever seen."

Lin Jie looked at the deeply convinced Hu Yuanqing and sighed silently in his heart!

In this world, no one is a fool.

One thing, two things, people might not notice, but when there are many, pieced together, it will eventually be exposed, even if the truth is so bizarre.

"Assuming your hypothesis is true, what do you want?" Lin Jie asked softly!

Hu Yuanqing gave an unsurprised victorious smile, pushed the tablet back in front of Lin Jie, and said, "This is a very good, very good friend of mine. Leaving this world at such an age is too unfair."

He looked into Lin Jie's eyes and said very seriously, "I need her to live!"

Lin Jie didn't like his tone, sensing some coercion and even intimidation, he directly refused, "This person's tumor is located deep within the brain with extremely irregular edges, requiring at least over twenty-five hours of surgery."

"Even if Dr. Siselda performed it, the success rate wouldn't exceed 20%, and even if successful, the prognosis wouldn't be very good either."

"My suggestion is to let the patient peacefully spend her last few months."

Hu Yuanqing stood up, glaring at Lin Jie with red eyes, shouting, "No, I promised her I would save her, I want her to live."

"The difficulty of An Weize's brain surgery was only slightly less than this one. You could flawlessly remove An Weize's brain tumor, so you can complete this surgery well."

Lin Jie was at a loss for words, reminding, "Hu Yuanqing, could you be a bit more professional? An Weize's surgery only took twelve hours, but this one requires at least twenty-five hours, how can you compare them?"

Hu Yuanqing suddenly realized and eagerly said, "Are you worried about not enduring physically or mentally?"

"I have a way to solve this! I can find some medication to keep you focused for a long time, supporting you for twenty-five hours is absolutely no problem."

Lin Jie suddenly became furious.

He was well aware of the side effects of those drugs, using a little might be bearable, but in large amounts combined with the extreme exhaustion over twenty-five or six hours...

This Hu Yuanqing intended to make him drop dead.

Lin Jie didn't believe Hu Yuanqing hadn't considered this. In his fury, he also felt a chill in his heart!

"Hu Yuanqing, please leave!"

"Also, our collaboration ends here!"
