"1, 2, 3..."

Watching the numbers displayed on the ATM, Lin Jie silently counted the number of zeros.

Under the enthusiastic hospitality of the An family's father and daughter, Lin Jie couldn't refuse their gratitude gift, or rather, he never truly wanted to refuse it, and he also accepted the invitation to An Kemeng's sixteenth birthday party.

He originally thought the money in this card would at most be a six-digit figure!

"Brother, how much is it?"

Lin Miao, who was holding Lin Jie's arm, leaned over and lowered her voice to ask, the breath making Lin Jie's ear itch!

After counting the zeros once more to ensure there was no mistake, Lin Jie withdrew the bank card and quickly walked out of the bank with Lin Miao.

"Miaomiao, there's a million in the card, we have money now, you don't need to go to work anymore!"

Even though he was speaking quietly, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and his voice trembled a bit!

"Ah..."

An astonished Lin Miao covered her small mouth. After calming down for a moment, she hugged Lin Jie's arm and asked, "Is the An family really this rich?"

Lin Jie whispered, "Didn't you hear the neighbors say? The cars they drive are imported Bentleys worth several million, they must be quite wealthy."

"Miaomiao, quit your job, your brother can support you now!"

Lin Miao thought for a while, then slowly shook her head and said, "Even though a million looks like a lot, if you think carefully, it's not. Any random house in Binhai costs two or three million, four or five million, or even tens of millions!"

"We'll need to use money for many things in the future, so we still need to keep working!"

Lin Jie changed his mind, thinking that with her not seeing the colorful world, staying cooped up at home wouldn't be good, so he didn't continue to persuade her.

After putting Lin Miao on the bus, Lin Jie returned to the bank, transferred the money to his own card, and then took the subway to Qingniao Fitness Center.

However, before he could enter the fitness center, he was blocked by Hu Yuanqing, who was waiting nearby, and dragged into a café.

After sitting down, Hu Yuanqing impatiently took out an ultra-thin laptop from his bag, booted it up, and showed it to Lin Jie.

"Lin Jie, these are the patient's medical records and imaging data!"

"Because the patient signed a strict confidentiality agreement with us, I can't send the data to you via email, I can only show it to you face-to-face!"

Lin Jie thought Hu Yuanqing was urgently looking for him to remind him about matters concerning Hu Xinyi, but unexpectedly he mentioned this instead.

At that moment, Shen Lanruo's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Lin Jie, by doing this, he's also breaching the confidentiality agreement. If caught by someone, he'll be in big trouble!"

Lin Jie quickly thought it over and, without even looking at the screen, slapped the laptop closed, and said seriously, "Yesterday, I ran into Hu Xinyi. She knows I have contact with you and suspects that I've been involved in your recent surgical plans."

"Does this affect you?"

Hu Yuanqing paused and asked back, "You know about the rivalry between her and me?"

Lin Jie nodded without speaking!

Hu Yuanqing rubbed his face with both hands to invigorate himself a bit and said, "Actually, I'm not particularly interested in the position of dean. To me, instead of wasting time managing hospital's trivial matters, it's better to spend more time on medical research."

Saying this, he gave Lin Jie a helpless look.

"But I'm not alone now, and there are some related interest parties. Even if I don't want to compete for the position, I have to!"

He pondered for a moment and confirmed, "I haven't deliberately kept my contact with you a secret. It's expected she knows about this and has such suspicions."

"But you only provided some suggestions on the surgical plan!"

"The specific surgical plan was formulated and implemented by me, you weren't involved in the actual treatment process! So you haven't violated any laws or relevant medical regulations, nor have I!"

"She can't catch us on anything, you don't need to worry!"

Lin Jie lightly tapped the notebook computer on the table and said softly, "I'm not a member of your treatment team. If you let me see the patient's information, you'd be violating the confidentiality agreement with the patient."

"That would be your handle, since the patient specially signed a confidentiality agreement with you, they must take it very seriously."

"Meeting with you here, who would know..."

Hu Yuanqing suddenly stood up, looking around as he spoke, then froze and swore, "Damn it!"

He dropped back onto the booth, looking extremely displeased, gulped down a glass of water, and loosened his shirt collar, seemingly unable to suppress his inner rage.

"What did you discover?" Lin Jie asked slowly.

Hu Yuanqing took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth, and said, "I noticed a guy, this person has been appearing in front of me a lot these days. I didn't pay much attention!"

"Now that you mention it, I realize this guy has probably been watching me all along!"

He spat each word out with deliberate intention, coldly saying, "Hu Xinyi's actions... crossed the line!"

Lin Jie didn't have the same mixed feelings of anger and surprise as Hu Yuanqing; instead, he felt a kind of amused curiosity. The novel's tales of intrigue and conflict in wealthy families actually have real-life basis.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Hu Yuanqing to discuss patient conditions and treatment plans with Lin Jie any further, and after exchanging a few words, he hurried off.

As Lin Jie leisurely walked toward the fitness center, he noticed a tall and slim man coming out of the café and getting into an Audi, tailing Hu Yuanqing's sports car.

In the fitness center, after swimming, on his way to the locker room, Zhou Ke suddenly popped out from a corner!

She pulled Lin Jie to a secluded spot and said mysteriously, "Last night, after my relentless questioning, Axuan told me everything about her sister. Do you want to know?"

Seeing Zhou Ke's expression of "ask me, ask me!" Lin Jie obliged with a question, "Is there something secretive?"

Zhou Ke chuckled and whispered, "Hu Xinyi, Han Xue, and that doctor named Chen Qiuhua have known each other for a long time."

"Hu Xinyi and Han Xue were classmates at a medical college in the United States. However, according to Axuan, both are proud and lofty types, not satisfied with each other. Although they were classmates, their relationship was just so-so!"

"Later, during an internship at an American hospital, they both met Chen Qiuhua! You can guess the rest of the story, can't you?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Naturally, both ended up fancying Chen Qiuhua!"

"Hu Xinyi and Han Xue both have looks and family backgrounds. Chen Qiuhua could choose either and save decades of effort!"

His gossip instincts were also aroused, and he muttered to himself, "Why does he stay entangled between the two? Doesn't he worry about ending up with neither?"

"You're right, that's really weird!"

Zhou Ke shouted in sudden realization, "Perhaps... this Chen Qiuhua wants to enjoy the fortune of having both?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes at Zhou Ke and sarcastically said, "At least make a plausible guess. Does Chen Qiuhua have a thing for daily chaos in the backyard?"

Zhou Ke snorted, unconvinced, and said, "Humph, you know nothing!"

"My Axuan said that after being a doctor for a long time, the pressure is immense. Not only does everyone seem sick, but they might also develop some psychological issues themselves!"

Lin Jie knew better than to argue with a woman, so he humored Zhou Ke for a few moments, made an excuse to change clothes, and bid farewell.
