An Kexin kept pacing back and forth, glancing at the clock on the wall every few seconds. It was just five minutes away from being five hours.

Was it about five hours or at most five hours?

An Kexin tried hard to recall what Lin Jie had said, but she couldn't clearly remember his description of the surgery time.

"I hope it's about five hours!" An Kexin muttered to herself.

Just then, with a slight squeak, the surgery door opened.

An Kexin's spirits lifted, and she hurried over, nervously asking, "Lin Jie, how did the surgery go..."

Lin Jie removed his surgical mask and said tiredly, "The surgery went smoothly. The patient should wake up in about two hours, and by then, let Dr. Yang give the patient a thorough check-up!"

An Kexin felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders and asked, "Can the patient be moved now? His family is waiting outside the building, ready to take him away as soon as the surgery ends!"

Lin Jie frowned slightly and said, "So urgent? Well... be careful, keep it steady, and it should be possible to move him."

"After all, this is a commercial building with lots of people around; they worry that the news might leak out!"

An Kexin explained, then stepped forward to support Lin Jie's arm, saying, "Let me help you upstairs for a rest first. Dr. Yang and I can handle the rest."

Lin Jie did not refuse her attentive offer and returned with her to the Chairman's office on the sixth floor.

About half an hour later, An Kexin returned with Yang Jinglong and Zhang Daya to the office.

An Kexin let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Lin Jie, they had been prepared and brought professional doctors and nurses with them. We don't need to worry about the rest."

She then slightly bowed to Yang Jinglong and Zhang Daya, saying, "Thank you both for your hard work."

Yang Jinglong quickly sidestepped to avoid it and declined, saying, "I was just assisting. The real hard work was done by Dr. Lin, and I was fortunate to meet the famous Mr. Fu. Serving the Fu Family is my honor; it's no hardship."

As he said this, he intentionally glanced at Lin Jie and found that Lin Jie's expression and gaze remained unchanged.

Yang Jinglong couldn't help but feel impressed; this is what a famous doctor should be like. Treating the imposing Fu Family as ordinary people, and even having no interest in meeting Mr. Fu.

In fact, he overestimated Lin Jie.

Lin Jie hardly had any concept of the Fu Family, which perhaps had less impact on him than the Han Family where Han Wenbin was from.

It was already past four in the morning.

The group took a short rest and casually ate something to fill their stomachs. Yang Jinglong, carrying the fifty thousand cash reward prepared by An Kexin beforehand, was the first to bid farewell and leave.

Zhang Daya, carrying a brand-name LV bag filled with ten thousand cash, looked as if she were holding a bomb, not knowing where to place her hands.

Following behind Lin Jie, she nervously said, "Dr. Lin, this is too much money! How about I just keep the branded bag and you take the money."

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "This money is both a labor fee and a hush fee, it's what you deserve, you can take it with peace of mind. The reason they haven't shown any other appreciation towards me is that they're waiting for the patient's test results."

"The reward they will give me will surely surprise you!"

They walked to the parking lot, and Lin Jie opened the car door of his MINI, saying, "I'll take you to my house to rest first. You can go back to Zhujia Port in the afternoon or go back with me tomorrow morning."

On the way back home, Lin Jie took the time to stop and buy some breakfast, like steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and century egg porridge, and it was already past six by the time he got home.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao came to greet him.

"Brother, Sister Daya, knowing you'd come back early, I got up early to make breakfast for you. Last night, I was a little scared to be home alone, so I asked Sister Xiaoxiao to come over to keep me company."

Lin Miao chirpily explained the situation in a few words.

"Ah Jie, Daya, hello!"

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoxiao took the breakfast from their hands, smiling, "I guessed you would buy breakfast, but Miao Miao said she wanted to eat breakfast made by me, so I had no choice but to make the effort."

Perhaps because she had just woken up and hadn't dressed up yet, Lin Jie noticed that Zhang Xiaoxiao looked more weary than before, as if she had aged a few years. He asked with concern, "Sister Xiaoxiao, isn't it exhausting taking care of Uncle Zhang while managing the clothing store? Have you considered hiring a nanny?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao gave a bitter smile and said, "Hard work and exhaustion aren't the problem, it's mental fatigue."

"Father's temper has become unpredictable, easily becoming furious. We've hired two nannies in a row, but they couldn't last more than two days before being driven away by his outbursts, sigh..."

Words of comfort from outsiders couldn't really help, and Lin Jie could only let out a sigh.

Lin Miao huffed angrily, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you've done more than enough. Now that he's brought this upon himself, treating you like this, there's no need to put up with it anymore."

Lin Jie looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao's gloomy face, knowing that if she were that kind of person, she would have made a decision long ago.

He shot Lin Miao a stern glance to stop her from saying anything more, then turned to her and asked, "Did anything productive happen at the store yesterday?"

Lin Miao's face lit up, and she boasted, "Brother, I sold five pieces of clothing yesterday. Even someone who just came along with a friend ended up buying one after I flattered them. Am I amazing or what?"

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

Lin Jie perfunctorily replied, then instructed, "We barely rested all night, and breakfast counts as eaten. Miao Miao, take Daya to your room for a shower and let her rest there."

He then turned to Zhang Daya and said, "Make yourself at home, treat this place as if it's your own."

After arranging everything, Lin Jie also went back to his room to rest. He hadn't even fallen asleep when he got a call from An Kexin.

"Lin Jie, the patient's test results are out, and they said the surgery outcome exceeded their expectations. Mr. Fu and Fu Zhezhi asked me to convey their deepest gratitude."

Lin Jie was well aware of the surgery he performed, so this feedback didn't surprise him. In a calm tone, he said, "Since that's the result, then we can all have a proper rest."

"Yes, Lin Jie, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, he quickly fell asleep.

He slept until after two in the afternoon.

Lin Jie habitually reached for his phone and found a missed local call from an unfamiliar number. He called back.

As soon as the call connected, a pleasant and melodious female voice came through, "Hello, this is Yunda International Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. Are you Mr. Lin Jie from Xiangtai Apartment?"

Lin Jie realized it was a sales call and quickly said, "Yes, but I'm not buying a car, goodbye..."

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lin, the company has a fully paid imported car for you, and all the paperwork is ready. Would you like to pick up the car yourself, or should our sales personnel deliver it to your residence?"
