"Expert Lin, there is a special forces member injured during a mission, currently being urgently transported to a treatment point..."

Meng Yang's clear and urgent voice came through the phone, especially loud in the silent bedroom.

An Kexin, also awakened, carefully draped a blanket over Lin Jie who sat up in bed.

Meng Yang's voice continued, "But the team member's abdominal organs are bleeding uncontrollably, and immediate hemostasis is needed."

"Expert Lin, you excel in locating abdominal bleeding points from your time during the Bamboo Sea earthquake rescue. We need you to provide hemostatic advice to the medics on site."

Provide hemostatic advice?

Lin Jie frowned.

When treating earthquake victims, his ability to quickly locate bleeding points relied mainly on the countless experiences ingrained in his mind, his observational skills, and the feeling conveyed through his hands when diagnosing patients' organs.

Providing hemostatic advice remotely from miles away is extraordinarily challenging.

But now, Lin Jie could only try his best.

He rubbed his face vigorously to awaken himself more and said, "Describe the patient's injuries to me, the more detailed, the better."

"Expert Lin, hold on a moment, I'll transfer the communication to the site now!"

As Meng Yang spoke, the sound on Lin Jie's phone changed.

Amidst a buzzing background, a hoarse voice yelled, pulling at his throat.

"Expert, the patient's abdominal organs are injured in many places. I can only use pressure methods for hemostasis, but the effect is poor."

"The plasma brought won't last long, please quickly provide hemostatic advice."

In these two sentences, only "injuries in many places" was somewhat useful to Lin Jie.

Following the other person's voice, he raised his own and said, "Describe the specific injury locations! And is it a gunshot wound, or...?"

"There are too many injury locations, I don't know how to describe them."

"It's not a gunshot wound; it's caused by shrapnel from a grenade explosion penetrating protection, at least seven or eight locations."

The words from the other side made Lin Jie involuntarily curse silently, Damn!

With seven or eight wounds plus injuries caused by shrapnel vibrations, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as riddled with holes. How could he offer hemostatic advice?

Unless he was on-site, performing immediate surgery on the patient, it would be more feasible.

Lin Jie calmed his mood and asked, "How much time can your plasma last, and how long until you reach the treatment point?"

"The helicopter is flying at high speed, expected to take another..."

An urgent gruff voice interrupted, "Forty-six minutes!"

"The plasma can last no more than twenty minutes, the patient's blood loss is too rapid."

Lin Jie immediately understood that the goal now wasn't to stop the bleeding, but to slow the blood loss speed, keeping the patient alive until arriving at the treatment point.

He quickly thought and actually came up with a method, asking, "Do you have canned cream there?"

"Anything similar would do."

"Spray it into the patient's abdomen. Omnipresent cream can clog some bleeding points and delay bleeding."

The hoarse voice sounded again, "No! We don't carry such things on combat missions."

"Expert, think of another method, quickly!"

"A foam fire extinguisher, will it work?" The previous voice interrupted again.

Lin Jie wasn't sure about the specific components of a foam fire extinguisher, but he couldn't care less now, shouting, "Anything that produces a cream-like effect will do."

"Don't worry about infection issues, survival comes first."

Amidst a clatter of sounds, Lin Jie heard several hissing sounds, and then the hoarse voice came over, "Expert, the patient's abdomen is full of foam, what's next?"

"Use medical adhesive tape to seal all wounds, creating abdominal pressure to stop bleeding."

Finally, Lin Jie said helplessly, "The rest is up to the whims of fate..."

Lin Jie woke up again, still being awakened by the phone ringing.

Opening his eyes, he found it was already broad daylight, and An Kexin was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Jie picked up his phone to see a call from Lin Miao.

He also saw a notification for an unread message.

Declining the call, he opened the unread message, which read: "Out of life danger!"

Lin Jie felt a sense of relief.

Thanks to the obstruction created by the foam, the blood loss rate was slowed, allowing the patient to hold on until reaching the treatment point alive.

Lin Jie, no longer needing to offer any guidance, hung up the call and noticed the time then was 2:31 in the early morning.

This emergency call also made Lin Jie realize one thing.

Despite this being a time of peace, conflicts and battles still exist, with soldiers still bleeding and sacrificing.

Lin Jie looked at the time, 9:11 in the morning.

The text message was received ten minutes ago.

This means the patient underwent about six hours of emergency rescue, indicating very serious injuries.

"At least the outcome is good, the person is alive, that's all that matters."

Sighing, Lin Jie dialed Lin Miao's number again.

"Brother, did I disturb you just now?"

Hearing Lin Miao's concerned voice, Lin Jie felt warmth in his heart, saying, "No, I was just lost in thought for a moment and declined the call. Is there something you need?"

"Oh, it's the weekend. I'm going shopping with Sister Xiaoxiao. Do you want to come with us?"

Upon hearing "shopping," Lin Jie's head immediately felt heavy, quickly saying, "I'll pass, you guys take your time. Also, I have plenty of autumn and winter clothes, no need to buy more for me."

Lin Miao said somewhat disappointedly, "Oh, I see."

"Hey, brother. This morning, I took Lele for a walk with Sister Xiaoxiao, and when I wasn't paying attention, it bullied a Pomeranian."

Lin Miao said angrily on the phone, "The owner of that Pomeranian was quite persistent."

"It made me so furious. You can't entirely blame Lele; she didn't watch her Pomeranian properly either."

"Brother, in the future, don't let Lele run loose when you take it out."

"It's grown up now and can cause trouble."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I got it. So how was the Pomeranian incident resolved in the end?"

"Paid some money to settle it..."

After chatting a bit, Lin Jie hung up the phone and went to wash up.

After he came out of the bathroom, he heard his phone ringing again.

This time the caller was Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"A-Jie, Dr. Chen Qiuhua is here looking for you."

Lin Jie responded with an "Oh," then asked Zhang Xiaoxiao to pass the phone to Chen Qiuhua, "Do you have something to tell me?"

"Lin Jie, I've resigned from Tongren Hospital, and all the paperwork is done. I'm here today to follow your instructions."

"So quickly? Didn't we only talk about this on Wednesday?" Lin Jie asked, quite puzzled.

Chen Qiuhua chuckled, "The hospital couldn't wait for me to leave."

"When I submitted my resignation, they processed it as quickly as possible."

"During this time, with their special arrangements, I didn't have many patients, and their conditions weren't serious, so the handover was quite smooth."

Even so, a deputy chief doctor resigning seemed a bit too efficient.

Lin Jie asked without thinking twice, "Is it because Han Xue found out about your true identity? Or did she turn on you out of love and utter rejection?"

"Lin Jie, how much do you know about my background?"

The voice suddenly lowered, sounding much more serious.

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and said straightforwardly, "Someone told me everything."

He then explained, "Besides, you're so closely connected with Luo Pengyi from the Luo Family, and you know about the secret things I've done at the clinic in Zhujia Port."

"It only took a little digging for me to figure it all out."

There was silence on the line for a while, broken only by the sound of Chen Qiuhua's varied breathing.

After a while, Chen Qiuhua's voice slowly came through, "I finally understand why Han Xue's attitude toward me suddenly changed drastically."

"The look in her eyes was so..."

Chen Qiuhua didn't specify what kind of look it was but murmured softly to himself, "So it's not because I've been hanging out with Du Feixue a lot recently, nor because I'm not renewing my contract."

"But because..."

He said somewhat bewilderedly, "Because she already knows about my background."

"My background isn't much of a secret; you can find it with a little investigation."

Chen Qiuhua sighed, "She trusted me before, but once that trust is gone, many doubts arise..."

Hearing this, Lin Jie could no longer hold back and blurted out a longstanding doubt buried deep in his heart, "Dr. Chen, my heart and your background... do you understand my suspicion?"

Another bout of silence!

Lin Jie then heard the other person exhale deeply, followed by Chen Qiuhua's voice, "Lin Jie, if I said I never had that thought, it would definitely be a lie to you."

"I hesitated and struggled, but in the end, I did not take any action."

"You getting this heart was purely luck, an arrangement by heaven!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie's body relaxed.

If this heart were tainted by crime, his feelings would inevitably be very complicated.

Lin Jie thought of something else and hastily reminded, "Dr. Chen, I can have this suspicion. If Han Xue knows about your background, she might have this suspicion too, and so might Han Wenbin..."

"For some people, sometimes, mere suspicion is enough."

"Do you have any plans?"

After another moment of unspeakable silence, Chen Qiuhua began, "Han Xue already knows my background, and she hasn't taken any other actions. This means she believes I haven't done anything shady."

"Or maybe she hasn't found the right opportunity to act," Lin Jie guessed with the greatest pessimism.

"Can't rule out that possibility."

"Lin Jie, I will go back for now. I need to think carefully about how to handle this..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie sighed deeply.

Chen Qiuhua's background is a ticking time bomb; it's bound to be exposed sooner or later.

Just didn't expect it to explode at this moment.

If the Han Family is determined to go after Chen Qiuhua, Lin Jie really can't think of a good way to protect him at the moment.

Leave the country to avoid it?

Thinking with a headache, Lin Jie left the bedroom and reached the second-floor staircase.

He saw Guan Muhua with a helpless look, standing in the living room with his hands raised, while An Kemeng was touching him all over with her small hands.

"Kemeng, what are you doing?"

An Kemeng looked up at Lin Jie, giggled, and said, "Brother, you're finally awake!"

"Brother Guan's muscles are so well-defined. I'm combining theory with practice and learning."
