"Lai Haoming? Who is he?"

Upon hearing Chen Shi say this over the phone, Lin Jie, who was driving, understood that what Shijing Mountain said wasn't entirely true.

However, he didn't bother to speculate whether Shijing Mountain was also involved in the help video incident, and he quickly introduced Lai Haoming in a few words.

"Now that you mention it, I remember this student!"

Chen Shi, as if awakening from a dream, recalled the person and said with interest, "He's just an undergraduate student, why would you bring him up? Did you see some talent in him?"

"His talent is indeed unforgettable!"

Lin Jie mocked and continued, "The help video for that family with six kids is related to him. He's the university student from the village, and he's the one who told that family about my matters."

Chen Shi was silent on the phone for a moment, then leisurely said, "He once applied for my spot for graduate recommendation. At that time, I was busy with your special admissions application and wanted to reduce some students, so I politely declined."

"Perhaps he thought you took away his graduate spot!"

Lin Jie didn't expect the reason for his grudge with the other person to be this, rather than simple envy and jealousy.

He sighed, "It's really necessary to give psychological counseling to university students!"

Lin Jie's purpose in making this call was to remind Chen Shi of Lai Haoming and inform him of what he had done. As for what Chen Shi would do next, he wasn't foolish enough to directly say.

Just as he was preparing to brush off the conversation and hang up, Chen Shi's somewhat displeased voice came through the phone, "Lin Jie, why didn't you ask about my surgery yesterday?"

"That sixth lobe lung resection surgery?"

Lin Jie laughed, "That surgery, although it had its difficulties, would be a big surprise if there were issues for an expert like you!"

He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Old Chen, did something really unexpected happen?"

Chen Shi snorted and said, "You brat, just guessing! Of course, there wouldn't be any issues. Who do you think I am?!

His words were filled with self-satisfaction!

He said somewhat troubledly, "Lin Jie, I originally planned not to enroll any students this year, or just one or two, but it seems it won't work out, and I might enroll more instead."

"Why is that?" Lin Jie was a bit puzzled.

Chen Shi said a bit proudly, "Isn't it because of you? Those old guys see your unlimited potential and try every means to send their children over to be your classmates!"

"Being classmates with you, in the future, it will be easy to ask for favors!"

Lin Jie was momentarily stunned, then said boastfully, "Aren't they afraid that when their children realize the insurmountable gap with me, they'll be so discouraged they lose their academic drive?"

Chen Shi chuckled and said, "The gap between you and them is so great that it won't even be a problem."

"Ah, brat, you know what? I was actually looked down upon by that little girl Kemeng today."

"She said that you just took a glance at her classmate, then flicked your fingers on her classmate's belly and diagnosed the condition. Whereas I would just say 'go to the hospital for a fluoroscopy check.'"

That very morning, Lin Jie received a call from Kemeng with gratitude!

He learned from her that Cai Chunnuan went to the hospital for treatment accompanied by family overnight, releasing a lot of blood.

In Kemeng's exaggerated words, it was at least as much as a big basin.

Speaking of Kemeng, Lin Jie asked with concern, "What's Dr. Tan Wenlan saying now?"

Chen Shi said with some relief, "Dr. Tan said Kemeng is recovering well, beyond her expectations. With a few more sessions of reinforcement and counseling, the treatment can be concluded."

When Lin Jie returned home, he was stunned to find two guests waiting for him at his house!

Lin Miao was entertaining them!

These two guests were Ye Hongqing and a young man he didn't recognize.

Ye Hongqing was saying something to Lin Miao, and as soon as Lin Jie entered the house, he heard Lin Miao's happy laughter.

Seeing Lin Jie return, Ye Hongqing and the young man immediately stood up to greet him!

Lin Jie's attention focused on the young man.

He looked ordinary, about twenty-seven or eight, with short, bristly hair.

Lin Jie noticed his sharp gaze, making it hard to look directly.

After a simple introduction, this young man named Qin Gang didn't sit on the more comfortable sofa but instead remained seated on the brought-over hardwood chair, only sitting on half of it.

With his back straight, legs slightly apart, and hands resting on his knees, he sat like a statue, the very image of composure.

Seeing Lin Jie sizing up Qin Gang, Ye Hongqing said a bit helplessly, "Brother Lin, Qin Gang is a soldier who just retired home due to injury, so he still retains his military habits and isn't used to sitting on comfortable sofas, preferring hard chairs."

"It's admirable to protect the country!"

Lin Jie complimented and said to Ye Hongqing, "President Ye, the evening is your busiest time at work. Why are you at my home waiting for me? Just tell me what's the matter?"

"Brother Lin, you guessed right, I'm not here for nothing!"

Ye Hongqing raised his carrot-like finger, pointing to Qin Gang and said, "I'm here because of him. Qin Gang is the son of a brother I would give my life for. He served for a few years in the army, not as an ordinary soldier, but one with combat missions."

"This time, he had to retire and change careers due to honorable wounds. I would like you to take a look at his injuries!"

Lin Jie didn't beat around the bush and directly asked, "Specifically, what kind of injury?"

"Qin Gang!" Ye Hongqing softly called.

Qin Gang took out a bag with a CT scan inside and handed it to Lin Jie with both hands.

Lin Jie took it, pulled out the scan, and looked at it against the light.

His eyes widened slightly, seeing a bullet lodged in the liver area.

Looking more closely at the bullet's exact location, Lin Jie understood why the bullet was still inside the body and hadn't been removed.

When a bullet enters the body, the shockwave and kinetic energy typically create a cavity larger than the bullet itself, called a temporary cavity.

After the muscle regains elasticity, the remaining cavity is called a permanent cavity.

The larger the permanent cavity, the more critical the damaged area, and thus the greater the harm.

In reality, whether a bullet remains in the patient's body isn't the primary concern for doctors. The damage caused by the bullet entering and exiting the body is of utmost concern for the patient's life.

In other words, the part of the body the bullet hits is the key to whether it's fatal.

If the retained bullet is in a very sensitive area, removing it could pose a greater danger to the patient, so doctors might suggest the bullet to remain temporarily or even permanently.

Only when a bullet or its fragments are near major arteries, nerves (especially spinal nerves), or joints, posing a risk of migration and causing even more severe injuries, is it necessary to remove the bullet immediately.

Also, a bullet left inside won't cause lead poisoning.

Lead fragments in soft tissues will generally become encapsulated by fibrous tissues, losing chemical activity. Numerous past cases show many gunshot survivors with retained bullets live long lives.

The bullet in this scan is lodged straight into the liver, and surgical removal could easily induce massive liver bleeding, posing lethal risks.

After studying the scan carefully again, Lin Jie softly said, "From what it looks like right now, this bullet staying in the body doesn't pose a life threat. Are you thinking of removing it?"
