After Lin Jie firmly refused, the unyielding Hu Yuanqing still tried to persuade him with grand life principles, the doctor's duty to save lives, and even offered a million-dollar reward.

But for Lin Jie, no matter the kind or size of benefit, it couldn't compare to the importance of his own life.

He firmly refused again, "I'll say it again, your earlier speculation is purely your imagination!"

"To take it a step further, even if I had the ability to perform that surgery, I would still be powerless against this patient's tumor. Hu Yuanqing, please leave, otherwise, I'll have to call the property security."

Seeing Lin Jie had said as much, Hu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then reminisced, "Her name is You Xuemei, a rare surname, a very ordinary name, and she's not very pretty."

"Those three years with her were the happiest of my life!"

"For various reasons, we couldn't end up together, but she has always been the one I loved the most in my heart. Now her life is in your hands, Lin Jie, please save her!"

Hu Yuanqing earnestly pleaded, "Whatever conditions you need, any conditions, as long as I, Kangning Hospital, or the Hu Family can fulfill, I will make it happen!"

Using emotions and blank checks?

Lin Jie was even more disdainful, saying, "Every year, there are countless patients sent home to await death because they can't afford treatment. Surely many patients have knelt at the hospital or in front of you, begging right?"

"I want to know, how many times did you soften your heart and save someone?"

Seeing Hu Yuanqing remaining silent, Lin Jie continued mockingly, "Those few types of agents that stimulate the body's potential, their side effects on a heart transplant patient, do you, as a chief-level doctor, really not know or are you just pretending?"

This question was piercing, and Hu Yuanqing's expression changed immediately. After standing still for a moment, he slowly put away the tablet!

"If You Xuemei doesn't have the surgery, she will definitely die; if you perform her surgery, it may not cause harm. Please forgive my selfishness. If I could, I would trade my life for You Xuemei's!"

After saying this, Hu Yuanqing silently left.

"Brother!"

Lin Jie followed the voice and saw Lin Miao coming down from the second floor in floral pajamas, holding a toilet brush in her hand.

"Why are you holding a toilet brush?"

Lin Miao swung it twice, saying, "As a weapon. There's nothing else handy in my room! You guys were talking so loudly, in case it got physical, I could help you!"

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, saying, "We're civilized people, why would we fight! Alright, it's late, go to sleep!"

"So, you're saying I'm not civilized? Because I kicked Luo Pengyi in the evening?" Lin Miao pouted, looking dissatisfied!

Lin Jie glared and snapped, "Lin Miao, don't look for trouble by twisting words. I'm not in a great mood right now, so don't provoke me, just go to sleep!"

"What a brother, always being harsh!" Lin Miao mumbled a bit but obediently turned back to her room.

Lin Jie also returned to his room and lay on the bed.

He reached for his phone, but found there were no new messages from Li Ting, thinking she might be facing all sorts of persuasion from her family, making his mood even worse...

However, Shen Lanruo didn't care about Lin Jie's mood and steadfastly started to ingrain him with medical knowledge!

Lin Jie, in a daze, didn't even know what time he fell asleep, only felt that suddenly, with one blink, it was already daylight.

Getting up to wash and make breakfast, Lin Jie then called the sleeping Lin Miao to wake up for breakfast together.

Soon, over an hour went by in the morning, it was time for him to head to the clinic.

As Lin Jie was leaving, Lin Miao suddenly spoke, "Brother, it's a bit boring being at home alone, and I've mostly recovered, I want to help at Sister Xiaoxiao's clothing store!"

"Weren't you planning to learn to drive and get a license first?" Lin Jie asked casually.

Lin Miao hesitated, saying, "Well... I'm a bit afraid of driving!"

Lin Jie was taken aback, recalling her childhood accident involving a car, it was understandable she'd have a shadow in her mind. He touched Lin Miao's nose affectionately, saying, "If you don't want to learn, then don't. The transportation is very convenient anyway. As for Sister Xiaoxiao's place..."

He thought for a moment and said, "Feel free to go if you want but don't tire yourself. If it's not suitable, don't force yourself, you know we aren't short on money anymore!"

Lin Miao obediently replied, "I know! Brother, have a safe trip, drive slowly!"

Her good wishes were only half-realized; that is "drive slowly," for just after Lin Jie drove out of the apartment complex and entered the main road, he was caught in heavy traffic, inching forward at a snail's pace.

Lin Jie turned on the traffic radio and found out that half an hour ago, a major water pipe with a diameter of half a meter burst at a main intersection ahead, destroying the road.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie immediately understood he was trapped here, and it's unlikely he could get out anytime soon.

He called Luo Shanshan to explain the situation, then patiently waited in the car.

After half an hour, there was no improvement, even the snail's pace stopped!

Another hour passed, and Lin Jie noticed many drivers were getting out of their cars, either making continuous phone calls or impatiently stomping their feet, and passengers in taxis or buses even started to get off and walk.

He also got out and casually did some exercises in the narrow space between vehicles.

At this moment, he saw someone far ahead in the traffic, standing on top of a car, cupping their hands around their mouth, shouting as if exhausted.

Once this person finished shouting, someone another seven or eight meters away stood atop their car, mimicking this stance, and shouting loudly.

Like a relay, people began to stand atop their cars and started yelling loudly!

The sound quickly reached Lin Jie...

"Pregnant woman in labor, urgent situation, need a doctor, please pass on the message!"

Another pregnant woman!

Lin Jie felt a stirring in his heart and reflexively shouted, "I'm a doctor, I'm a doctor!"

Saying this, he ran towards the direction where the voice was coming from!

"Found a doctor, found a doctor, people up front make way, people up front make way!"

With continuous shouts from those atop the cars, drivers or passengers who were crowded in the cramped space, trying to ease their mood, all made way to allow Lin Jie to pass.

Lin Jie ran over a thousand meters, finally arriving in front of a black SUV.

A dozen or so women of various ages surrounded the car in front, using their bodies to shield it from outsiders' views. Occasionally, a heart-wrenching scream echoed from inside the car.

Entering the human barrier, Lin Jie saw a woman lying on the back seat, held by an anxious man!

Her legs were parted, and the baby's head was already visible.

This is a natural birth!

Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in a steady voice, "I'm a doctor, and a very competent one!"

"You don't need to worry or be nervous! The baby's head is already out, this is a natural birth, not dangerous at all!"

"All you need to do is push according to my instructions, leave everything else to me, trust me!"

Perhaps influenced by Lin Jie's confident words, or because the arrival of this "pseudo-doctor" gave her a sense of reliance and safety, the pregnant woman became less frantic, and her cries reduced greatly!

With the relaxation of the pregnant woman's mood and her full cooperation under Lin Jie's direction, after twenty minutes or so, a loud cry resounded above the road...

Lin Jie arrived at the Zhujia Port clinic, nearly noon. As he walked in, he noticed An Kexin quietly sitting in a chair behind the desk.

This was the first time the two had met since that day!

Lin Jie adjusted his mood, pointed to his clothes stained with some dirt, and said, "I delivered a baby on the road, got a bit messy, I'll go shower first!"

An Kexin stood up, nodding, "Go ahead, I came over this time to ask for your help with something important."
