On Tuesday morning, just after Lin Jie and the others finished breakfast, the An sisters arrived together.
"Brother Jie, I know you have an important surgery this morning, so I came over early to cheer you on."
An Kemeng raised her right hand, gesturing for Lin Jie to do the same, and gave him a high-five, shouting, "Go, Brother Jie, show them what you've got."
Lin Jie laughed and said, "I understand that you came specifically to cheer me on."
"But..."
Saying this, he glanced at the large suitcase An Kemeng was dragging alongside her, as well as the one An Kexin was dragging, and asked curiously, "Why did you bring luggage with you?"
"Are you two going on a trip?"
An Kemeng giggled and said, "Brother Jie, sometimes it's pretty scary studying alone in an empty house."
"Here, in the daytime, there's Sister Xiaoxiao, and at night, there's you and Miaomiao."
"If I have questions, I can ask you anytime. This is the best place for me to study."
"Are you not welcoming me to study here?"
She then asked Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lin Miao, "Sister Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao, do you welcome me?"
Before Lin Jie could respond, Lin Miao promptly said with excitement, "Welcome, of course, you're welcome."
"Come on, Mengmeng, let me help you carry your luggage in first."
After Lin Miao and An Kemeng, with the help of Guan Muhua and Zhang Xiaoxiao, carried the two large suitcases upstairs, Lin Jie quietly asked An Kexin, "What's really going on? Is Kemeng running away from home?"
"Was it last night's family dinner?"
An Kexin shook her head and quietly replied, "The atmosphere at last night's family dinner was quite nice."
"Actually, whether it's our uncle or aunts and uncles, they all hope that dad finds someone new."
"Although they were a bit surprised last night, they were genuinely happy for dad, and, besides, Zhai Siying is quite good at handling these social occasions."
"It's just..."
She sighed and said helplessly, "Last night, she stayed and didn't go back."
"Kemeng might feel a little uncomfortable, so she insisted on staying here."
"She was very stubborn this time, I couldn't convince her, so I had to bring her over first."
Lin Jie lightly responded, "This is a big change, Kemeng needs some time to adjust."
"Staying here is a good choice, you and Uncle An can rest assured."
"Hey, did you have breakfast?"
An Kexin pitifully said, "I was busy packing for Kemeng early in the morning, didn't have time to eat anything."
Immediately, Lin Jie went to the kitchen, cooked two bowls of noodles, and called An Kemeng to come and eat together.
Lin Miao, who came along, looked surprised and told Lin Jie, "Brother, Kemeng's suitcase is full of cartoon pajamas, there are all sorts of cartoon pajama designs."
An Kemeng deeply inhaled the aroma of the noodles, exaggeratedly exclaimed "Smells so good, thank you Brother Jie" and then boastfully said, "Miaomiao, I only brought my most favorite pajamas."
"I still have a lot more at home, enough to fill two suitcases."
"Miaomiao, you can wear whichever pajama you like."
She then looked at Lin Jie and generously said, "Brother Jie, you can wear them too, I don't mind you."
Lin Jie rolled his eyes at her and huffed, "I have my own pajamas, no need for those childish and youthful ones."
He checked the time and said, "Kexin, I have to go to the hospital now, take your time eating."
An Kexin nodded and vigorously waved a small fist at Lin Jie, shouting, "Ah Jie, go for it, show them what you're made of."
Hearing her say that too, Lin Jie asked puzzledly, "Kemeng said to show them what you've got. And you say to show them what you're made of."
"What you guys are saying, I don't quite understand?"
"Brother Jie, you still don't know?" An Kemeng exclaimed in surprise.
"Know what?" Lin Jie asked, still confused.
"Just wait a second!"
At that moment, An Kemeng stopped eating noodles, ran out of the dining room, and soon came running back with her phone in hand.
"Brother Jie, take a look yourself!"
Lin Jie took the phone An Kemeng handed over, looked at the screen for a few seconds, and frowned.
Displayed on the screen was the official Weibo of Hu Ge's studio, with the top post being an image.
This image showed a lawyer's letter, the one sent by Li Haoxiang.
However, the names and other key details in the letter were blurred out.
Lin Jie scrolled through some comments, finding them almost all sarcastic and insulting.
"Arrogant! Claiming that after cosmetic surgery, appearances could be remarkably similar! Doesn't even see himself clearly in a mirror, thinking he's some legendary miracle worker!"
"Just a fame-seeking, opportunistic doctor, blowing his own horn, since it's not taxed, anyway!"
"Jumping clown, deserves to be despised by everyone!"
"Now plastic surgeons are like this, boasting to the sky before surgery, and after surgery, they just push the blame away entirely, saying it's all someone else's fault."
After looking at a few more messages, Lin Jie couldn't stand it anymore and returned the phone to An Kemeng.
He suppressed his anger and pretended to be magnanimous, saying, "The purpose of sending this lawyer's letter is to fulfill an obligation to inform and to avoid any legal troubles in the future."
"Now that this letter is known by so many people, it's not too bad."
"In case something happens in the future, there's no worry the other side might falsely claim they didn't receive this lawyer's letter."
An Kexin pursed her lips, got up, and came to Lin Jie's side, softly saying, "We're all friends here, no need to hold it in."
"Ah Jie, actually, we should be thanking the other party."
Lin Jie glanced at her unhappily, thinking, are you out of your mind from hunger?
An Kexin explained with a light laugh, "Ah Jie, with his one Weibo post, at least tens of millions of people now know about this matter."
"And we don't need to respond now."
"Just wait until some time has passed, and the person who underwent the surgery recovers their normal appearance, then take a few photos and post them."
"Nothing is more convincing or face-slapping than facts."
"This advertisement that let tens of millions of people know about your skills cost us nothing, and it's remarkably effective and memorable; shouldn't we thank the other party?"
Lin Jie's mood suddenly brightened, and he said, "The premise of face-slapping is that I can indeed deliver. Kexin, you have quite a lot of faith in me!"
"Brother Jie, I have absolute confidence in you!"
"Brother is invincible!" Lin Miao also shouted a slogan.
Lin Jie laughed heartily and said, "Actually, I also have confidence in myself."
He kissed An Kexin on the cheek, high-fived Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and Zhang Xiaoxiao, and left the house full of fighting spirit…
On the way, Lin Jie received a call from Kong Mingqing.
He heard Kong Mingqing's tired voice say, "Ah Jie, I checked the person you told me about."
"Because of that person's special status, I couldn't use official means, so I relied on my own connections and private time to do some investigation."
After hearing Chen Qiuhua's description of Luo Wantong that night, Lin Jie was worried about Chen Qiuhua and wanted to probe Luo Wantong's background.
Therefore, he told Kong Mingqing all that he knew about the situation.
Lin Jie didn't expect to receive his response so soon.
Kong Mingqing's voice continued from the phone, "During the time he's been back in the country, nothing suspicious has been found."
"As for those things abroad..."
He said apologetically, "Lin Jie, I truly don't have any leads."
"However, if you have solid evidence, I can contact the relevant departments and report it secretly."
This investigation result was also within Lin Jie's expectations.
If Luo Wantong wasn't good at hiding, he would have long been arrested, and considering Kong Mingqing's current level and the fact that it's just him investigating, it's indeed beyond his capabilities to investigate Luo Wantong.
"I don't have solid evidence here. Just leave this matter, don't worry about it."
"Kong, thank you for your efforts."
Kong Mingqing chuckled and said, "Lin Jie, there's no need for us to be so formal."
"That person, and the doctor Chen Qiuhua you mentioned, don't worry, I will keep an eye on them..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie couldn't help but ponder whether he should ask Meng Yang for help on this matter?
He is considered a high-ranking figure in the military, surely he has many connections.
The mysterious guy who asked me to verify if someone had undergone plastic surgery last time seemed like someone from a secretive department.
Asking them to investigate Luo Wantong should be straightforward, right?
He also thought that just based on Chen Qiuhua's words, is it appropriate to ask such people to help investigate a wealthy businessman returning to invest in his country?
Lin Jie somewhat selfishly considered, even if his reputation were big enough, such connections or people are limited in use, is it worth it for Chen Qiuhua?
Torn with indecision, Lin Jie arrived at the Affiliated Hospital.
After getting out of the car, he discarded all distracting thoughts and headed straight for the surgical floor of the inpatient building.
There, he found his students, except for the two who entered the operating room early for preparation, the other twelve were waiting for him in the corridor.
He realized something and asked, "Did you all see that Weibo post?"
The students nodded emphatically, saying indignantly, "Those ignorant celebrity-chasers need to know that blowing hot air isn't groundbreaking, you truly have the skills, teacher."
"Yes, a bunch of kids who don't know their limits, always using their parents' money, have no idea of your real skills, teacher..."
Lin Jie waved them off, smiling, "Alright, alright, let's stop these meaningless talks."
"Get on with your tasks."
He further instructed, "Now, you must double your efforts, so when you face any doubts in the future, you can stand unyielding like me, indifferent, using undeniable facts to fight back..."
Amid the laughter and praise of his students, Lin Jie entered the surgical preparation room with high spirits.
He began preparing for the upcoming surgery...
