It was soon Friday, and Lin Jie hurried to the Affiliated Hospital's neurosurgery ward early in the morning.

He took the tablet from Huo Guangheng and reviewed Lin Xiaoxiao's latest medical check-up information.

After reading it twice, Lin Jie handed the tablet back to Huo Guangheng and said to Lin's father and mother in front of him, "Xiaoxiao's current condition is stable, and there are no abnormalities. You can proceed with the discharge procedure."

"Thank you, Expert Lin! Thank you, thank you!"

"Without you, Xiaoxiao wouldn't have her present and future."

Lin Dongfeng and Miao Han hurriedly expressed their gratitude, "Now Xiaoxiao's height is starting to grow, and she looks more energetic, not as sleepy as before."

"We don't know how to thank you enough..."

As she spoke, Miao Han's eyes reddened, and she covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.

Lin Jie replied politely, "I am a doctor; this is all part of my duty."

This research project had its ups and downs, taking more than half a year, but now it's finally successfully concluded, which made Lin Jie feel somewhat emotional.

He reminded them, "Once Xiaoxiao is discharged and back home, don't relax on daily observations..."

Lin Dongfeng nodded vigorously and said, "Expert Lin, rest assured, Dr. Tian and Dr. Huo have emphasized this many times."

"For the first three months, take Xiaoxiao to our local major hospital once a month for cranial and body examinations, then once every two months."

"After a year, check-ups will be once every six months."

"If any abnormalities are found during the examinations, or if there's a significant change in Xiaoxiao's behavior, emotions, or other conditions in the meantime, we will contact you immediately."

Seeing this, Lin Jie didn't insist further and said, "I have nothing more to remind you of. You can go handle the discharge procedures."

He then turned to Fang Huanru, Xiao Ganghao, Song Licheng, and others gathered around him, saying, "In half an hour, those who haven't talked yet, come to my office at the hospital for the routine weekly talk."

"In the afternoon, you can take half a day off and do whatever you need to do."

As soon as he said this, a dozen students cheered loudly and were thrilled.

"Just received a stipend of tens of thousands; now we have money. I want to get a full-body massage. My back and my legs feel like they don't belong to me. Anyone want to join?"

"I'm planning to go for a SPA. Zhao Fang, He Yimin, do you want to come with me?"

"Hey, the research project is over. We should have a good get-together to celebrate! Don't you think?"

"I just want to have a nice sleep, and do nothing else..."

Lin Jie didn't go directly to the office but first went to the luxury ward on the upper floor.

Today was also the day Enoch was discharged.

He would head to the Capital City, where, under the arrangement of the Guohua Football Club, he would stay in a hospital there for further recovery, and under the guidance of a therapist, undertake appropriate training for other parts of his body.

When Lin Jie arrived, Anders was already prepared, sitting in a wheelchair, supporting his straight right leg.

He gently caressed the right leg fixed with a cast and brace, softly saying, "I have a very strong premonition that this time my knee will fully recover."

"Dr. Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I don't believe in premonitions, only in facts."

"According to your latest X-rays, your bone injury recovery is within my expected range."

"As long as you strictly follow my instructions, full recovery is a high probability event."

Anders promised, "It is only by experiencing loss that one can truly appreciate the value of possession. This is my only chance to change my destiny."

"Moreover, I've endured and overcome the hardest days of pain."

"Dr. Lin, I will follow your instructions unreservedly to the fullest extent..."

After checking on Enoch's recovery, Lin Jie returned to his office, finding that Zeng Yang was already waiting for him.

Having finished the weekly routine talks with several students, it was almost one o'clock.

Lin Jie did not order takeout this time but went out to a restaurant for lunch with Qin Gang.

When he returned, he found someone else waiting in front of his office.

This person was holding a large packaged gift box of food.

"Gan Yong, are you ready with the money for the cosmetic surgery?"

Gan Yong showed a smile that looked more pitiful than crying and nodded, "Expert Lin, I am ready."

"Not only that, but the funds to set up the pastry shop are also adequately prepared, and the decorations can be more upscale."

"You accepted outside investment, didn't you?"

Asking this, Lin Jie felt a bit uncomfortable.

He was certain that quite a few people would rather lose money than be willing to do business in partnership with him.

Yet, this guy had straightforwardly refused his offer to collaborate.

At this moment, Lin Jie sincerely hoped that what Kexin had said that day was correct, that he should let this guy experience the hardships of life.

Gan Yong shook his head and said, "No, it's a matter of principle. I won't accept anyone else's investment."

He excitedly told Lin Jie, "There is a loan company that, after learning about my situation, values my skills and the store's profitability prospects and is willing to provide me with a one-million unsecured and collateral-free loan."

A loan company? And an unsecured and collateral-free loan?

Lin Jie directly asked, "The interest rate shouldn't be low, right?"

Gan Yong confidently said, "I've calculated it. As long as the bakery opens and even if it only meets my expected minimum profit levels, I can repay the loan within a year at most."

Lin Jie couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be overconfident."

"This loan company has many traps, the interest rate is high, and there's compound interest. If an unforeseen event happens and your cash flow breaks, missing a repayment deadline will cause big trouble."

He kindly suggested, "I can first give you a simple cosmetic surgery to repair the burn and knife scars on your face."

"The subsequent cosmetic surgeries can wait until your bakery earns money before continuing."

"Thank you for your reminders and suggestions!"

Gan Yong, full of ambition, said, "Expert Lin, I'm confident in my skills in making pastries and have absolute assurance about the profitability of the bakery. There won't be an issue with repayment."

He touched his face and continued, "Expert Lin, I hope to undergo surgery as soon as possible."

"The store I've negotiated will not be vacated until three months later. I still have plenty of time right now."

"Once I've taken over that store and gotten busy, I won't have much spare time."

Gan Yong's statements and the confident expression on his face all showed that success was within reach, easy to grasp.

Lin Jie understood that this guy was already immersed in imagined success and wouldn't listen to his reminders.

Lin Jie shook his head silently.

The earlier reminder was purely unnecessary on his part.

Since the advice was not accepted with good intentions, and Lin Jie was not his family or friend, there was no need to say more.

He decided not to continue dwelling on this topic, and said, "I will try to complete your cosmetic surgery within three to four sessions, two surgeries, and one to two refinements, which will roughly take three to four months."

"If you don't see any problem with it, come to the hospital tomorrow to complete the admission procedures..."

Shortly after four in the afternoon, Lin Jie received a call from An Weize, saying that they should have dinner together that evening.

After noting down the time and place, he promised to arrive on time.

Just as he was about to hang up, Lin Jie hurriedly asked, "Uncle An, about Tang You's leg and foot, should they still be treated?"

"It's been two days, and she still hasn't come to see me."

"Do you even dare to say that?"

An Weize said angrily on the phone, "Tang You is very shy. After what happened, how could she have the face to see you! We're all trying to persuade her."

Lin Jie chuckled, "Uncle An, you can't blame me for this."

"At that time, I had no other thoughts, just wanted to do a simple check-up. That's her sensitive area; it was unexpected to me."

An Weize snorted slightly and asked with concern, "Ah Jie, give me some inside information. How confident are you in Tang You's correction surgery?"

Lin Jie straightforwardly said, "I can only say I'm confident about improving Tang You's leg shape."

"As for the final extent of recovery, whether it can be like ordinary people, I need to see the detailed examination results before making a final assessment."

An Weize acknowledged with an "oh" and said, "That girl surely dreams of restoring her leg shape. I reckon she'll think it through in a day or two."

"Ah Jie, you should pay more attention then."

Lin Jie corrected earnestly, "Uncle An, as long as it's a patient I've taken on, I never slack off."

"Got it! Don't be late for dinner tonight."

Lin Jie hung up the phone, and it hadn't even been put down when it rang again.

He thought it was still a call from An Weize, but unexpectedly discovered it was from Kong Mingqing.

Upon answering, Kong Mingqing's voice immediately came through, "Ah Jie, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the trial of the Xingwang Biological Pharmaceutical drug case?"

"One of the two people you specifically mentioned actually has some connection to this case!"

Lin Jie stood up abruptly and asked eagerly, "Who? What connection?"

"Liu Guangxi!"

Kong Mingqing explained over the phone, "According to Deng Di's confession, oh, he's Deng Haikuo's eldest son."

"He said he's seen Liu Guangxi at private gatherings. Moreover, Liu Guangxi asked for dozens of pills from him."

Lin Jie immediately thought that Liu Guangxi knew Deng Di had drugs.

This means that Liu Guangxi very likely knew the Deng Family was making drugs at their own pharmaceutical factory.

Lin Jie pursued the question, "Does Liu Guangxi have other dealings with Deng Di?"

Kong Mingqing's voice continued to come through his phone, "I specifically asked the detective team to interrogate him, and according to Deng Di, he and Liu Guangxi are just casual acquaintances."

"They've only met in such private gatherings, with no other interactions..."
