Lin Jie looked up and down at the young woman in front of him, who was elegant and beautiful, with a graceful figure. She said nothing, but wore a gentle smile and kept looking at him.

After a while, just as Lin Jie was about to speak, An Kexin suddenly reached out, clinging to his arm warmly and said, "Ah Jie, who is this beautiful lady?"

"She came all the way to find you, obviously she knows you. How come I've never heard you mention her before?"

Lin Jie gently patted An Kexin's hand and said with a smile, "Put away your little worries, there's no threat from her."

"This one, you've heard of her name, just never met her in person."

He sighed and said, "To be honest, this is also the first time I've seen her face."

Lin Jie's gaze focused on the woman's face again, and he said with a smile, "Fang Yan, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Fang Yan?"

An Kexin repeated, suddenly recalling the sensational accidental death event that happened in this apartment last year, and asked in surprise, "Fang Yan? Are you that Fang Yan?"

The woman across from them nodded gently and said, "Yes, I am that Fang Yan."

"Dr. Lin, how did you recognize me?"

Fang Yan looked inquiringly and said, "Just now when I spoke with your girlfriend, I deliberately altered my voice. Besides, I think my appearance here should be unexpected for you."

Lin Jie chuckled and pointed at several places on Fang Yan's face, saying, "Every doctor has their own surgical style, sewing technique, and other unique identification traits. These are the doctor's own identifying characteristics."

"These subtle differences aren't apparent to outsiders, but for us surgeons, it's easy to recognize."

"Moreover, I see my own surgical signature, so naturally, I recognized you."

Fang Yan suddenly understood and said earnestly, "Dr. Lin, I'm terribly sorry, please forgive me for my sudden departure that day."

As she said this, she bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie quickly responded with a supportive gesture, saying, "Please stand up, no need to be so formal."

Without his prompting, An Kexin stepped forward and helped Fang Yan up.

The three returned to the living room sofa area and sat down as host and guests.

Lin Jie inquired, "You're back from Japan? Are you planning to stay here in Binhai, or?"

Fang Yan took a cup of tea from An Kexin, thanked her, and said, "I've just returned from Japan a few days ago."

"Dr. Lin, I'm here in Binhai not for anything else but specially to apologize to you and express my gratitude."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "There's no need for thanks."

"I'm just happy as a doctor to see you have a new life and live happily."

Fang Yan insisted, "That won't do. Without your help, there wouldn't be the me I am today."

"This debt of gratitude, I have always kept in my heart."

She showed the engagement ring on her finger, her face beaming with happiness, and said, "Dr. Lin, I've now found my happiness and I'm about to get married."

"I came back to take care of some formalities this time."

Lin Jie gave a light "oh" and smiled, "Congratulations! Is he Japanese?"

Fang Yan shook her head, saying, "No, my boyfriend is a Chinese American working in Japan."

"Our wedding will be held in the United States, and then we will settle in the United States."

She took a thin envelope from her small bag and placed it on the table, saying, "In my most difficult and helpless moments, it was you, Dr. Lin, who helped me selflessly and gave me a second chance at life."

"While in Japan, I have always been following your news."

"And I was very pleased to see you gradually achieving success and brilliance."

"I know you lack nothing now, but this is my shallow expression of endless gratitude, and I hope you will accept it."

Saying this, Fang Yan gently pushed the envelope on the table towards Lin Jie with both hands.

She earnestly said, "Dr. Lin, please accept it, or else I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Lin Jie didn't refuse much; he accepted this shallow token of gratitude straightforwardly.

Fang Yan didn't stay long; after chatting for about ten more minutes about Japan and her boyfriend, she mentioned her eight o'clock flight that night, declined the invitation to stay for dinner, and left.

After seeing Fang Yan off and returning, An Kexin picked up the thin envelope, shook it, and said, "Ah Jie, can you guess what's inside? How much do you think it's worth?"

Lin Jie casually said, "It's most likely a check."

"I guess it should be around a hundred thousand."

"She went to Japan to work, and it's been less than a year; she couldn't have made much money."

"Even if she's found a very wealthy boyfriend, logically speaking, he wouldn't give her much money."

At this moment, An Kexin had already opened the envelope and took out a paper similar to a receipt, smiling, "It indeed is a check, let me see the amount..."

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

As she counted, An Kexin couldn't continue, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Jie, count it yourself, there are quite a few zeros here."

Lin Jie took the check and was momentarily stunned!

Behind the number "1", there are actually eight zeros, that's one hundred million!

He suddenly noticed that the unit of this money was yen, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Kexin, don't be frightened by this figure. It's just one hundred million yen, not RMB."

"One hundred million yen is equivalent to..."

"Over six million RMB," An Kexin quickly provided an answer.

"Over six million!"

Lin Jie repeated, unable to help but frown.

This over six million was far beyond his expectations.

He thought of a possibility and slowly asked, "Kexin, do you know if that dead guy had any business in Japan?"

Before An Kexin could respond, Lin Jie sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it, whether you know it or not, don't tell me."

"This matter has passed some time ago, and the police have concluded. I don't want to cause myself trouble."

Lin Jie sighed again, "A person who knows gratitude can't be entirely bad."

He thought for a moment, then handed the check to An Kexin, deciding, "Let's donate this check to the charity fund in Fang Yan's name..."

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, and An Kemeng came back together, each carrying one or two takeout meals.

An Kemeng, holding onto Lele, complained, "Brother Jie, Lele has become so wild; once it goes out, it doesn't want to come back and keeps chasing a few dogs in the park."

"We had to put in a lot of effort to get it back."

Zhang Xiaoxiao also spoke, "A Jie, it's said that when dogs are in heat, they can become quite aggressive and might even bite people. Do you have any solutions?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "There are no special solutions, just try to keep it away from female dogs in heat, and get it a plush toy to play with."

"The most fundamental and thorough solution is neutering. Do you agree?"

Lin Miao directly opposed, "No, that's too inhumane."

"Lele was the one who desperately alerted us during the earthquake in Bamboo Sea; we can't take away its happiness."

Zhang Xiaoxiao and An Kemeng also opposed, so the matter had to be dropped.

Not long after dinner, Lin Jie received a call from Chen Qiuhua.

"Lin Jie, I know you're meeting that crazy Pei tomorrow. Can I join you?"

Lin Jie asked in return, "Are you done with your own things?"

That night, he and Chen Qiuhua discussed a not-so-methodical method.

Appear weak and launch some emotional attacks.

Chen Qiuhua contacted Luo Pengyi, Da Hei, and a few elders in Zhujia Port more frequently.

At the same time, he revealed Luo Wantong's dissatisfaction and conflict with him to them.

Their persuasion might not be reliable, but it would certainly make Luo Wantong hesitate.

And if by any chance something unexpected happened, these people might detect some anomalies.

Also, one must always be cautious of others.

To prevent any mishaps, Chen Qiuhua also needed to make some necessary protections for his residence and vehicle, such as installing hidden surveillance and alarm systems.

"I've done everything I could. As for contacting people in Zhujia Port, it's not something that can be done in a day or two. It's a long-term task."

Chen Qiuhua said carefreely, "No matter what, life has to go on, right?"

"I still want to continue improving my medical skills. Lin Jie, your meeting with the crazy Pei tomorrow?"

Lin Jie agreed and said, "If you want to come, then come. In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

"What matter?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Bring a few pig hearts, three or four will do, those taken out by transplant standards."

Chen Qiuhua said excitedly, "Hehe, you're going to examine them on the spot. I wouldn't miss tomorrow's big show for the world."

"The pig hearts are up to me."

Just when he was about to hang up, Lin Jie suddenly had a thought and asked, "Dr. Chen, are you serious with Du Feixue?"

Chen Qiuhua sighed and said with some gloom, "Lin Jie, to be honest, I started dating Feixue with the intention of marriage."

"But now that this has happened, I don't want to delay her, planning to find a chance in the next few days to tell her it's not suitable and break it off."

"No, don't do that yet!"

Lin Jie suggested, "If you're sincere and she's sincere, why not tell her everything honestly?"

"The Du Family is quite established in Binhai and has influence."

"If you two are really together, Luo Wantong will certainly be wary."

There was a silence on the other end of the phone before Chen Qiuhua's voice came, "I will seriously consider this."
