In the orthopedic ward, accompanied by Lei Jun, Lin Jie detailed his corrective plan to Tang You and Zhai Siying.

He concluded, "Overall, there is a significant risk in my corrective plan."

"Whether to adopt my plan, opt for an artificial ankle joint replacement, or maintain the status quo, you need to make a choice."

Zhai Siying furrowed her brows, looked at Tang You, and said, "Youyou, this concerns your future and health; you need to decide for yourself!"

After a long silence, Tang You, who had been keeping her head down, raised her head to look at Lin Jie and asked, "Dr. Lin, can your corrective plan really make my leg and foot like those of an ordinary person, able to run and jump?"

Lin Jie nodded gently and said, "Theoretically, and if the surgery and recovery go smoothly, the result should be like that."

"However, I need to clarify that this plan also carries a significant risk of surgical failure; I can't guarantee success."

Tang You nodded slightly and said, "Dr. Lin, you mentioned earlier that if the surgery fails, an artificial joint would be directly replaced."

"During recovery, if infection or necrosis is detected, another surgery would be performed to replace the artificial ankle joint."

"In that case, what about the surgical risks you repeatedly mentioned, Dr. Lin?"

Lin Jie further explained, "The risk mainly lies in the postoperative recovery stage."

"Sometimes, such infection or necrosis of the joint can be very subtle. By the time we notice it, it might already be severe or even spreading."

"By then, there might be a possibility of amputation. Worse yet, it could threaten life."

Tang You lowered her head again, then suddenly raised it and said, "Dr. Lin, I choose your surgical plan."

"Youyou, are you sure?"

Zhai Siying advised again, "This is a big decision. You should think it through. You don't have to decide right now."

Tang You bit her lip and said, "Aunt, I've always envied those who can run and jump. Replacing with an artificial ankle joint can't truly make me like a normal person."

"I believe Dr. Lin will succeed."

Zhai Siying wanted to persuade further, but after opening her mouth, she finally sighed and said, "Since you've decided, let's go with your decision."

"Youyou, do you want to notify your parents?"

Tang You lowered her head again and did not respond.

Seeing this, Lin Jie turned to ask Lei Jun, "Has comprehensive data collection been done on Tang You's physical condition?"

Lei Jun nodded and said, "It's sufficient for simulation tests."

Lin Jie then looked at Zhai Siying and said, "Aunt Zhai, you can handle Tang You's discharge procedures now."

Amid Zhai Siying and Tang You's confusion, he explained, "To increase the chances of a successful surgery, I need some time to prepare."

"During this period, Tang You doesn't need to stay in the hospital and waste money."

"Meanwhile, you can use this time to think it over carefully. If there's a change of decision, please let me know promptly..."

Lin Jie left the ward and said to Lei Jun, who was following him, "Please use the 3D printer to print ten ankle joint models for me of Tang You."

"You and your team should use computational techniques to simulate the most suitable corrective shape."

"I'll handcraft based on my experience and intuition."

"Let's see if we can take different routes but reach the same goal, together finding the most suitable corrective model."

Lei Jun said excitedly, "I find that by shamelessly requesting to join this surgery, I've really gained a lot."

"Expert Lin, it's my great honor to tackle this challenge with you..."

Lin Jie then stopped by the plastic surgery ward to check on Gan Yong's recovery, finding his girlfriend Qi Yanan taking care of him in the room.

Upon seeing Lin Jie, Qi Yanan stood up quickly and said in a timid voice, "Dr. Lin, I think I might have caused you some trouble!"

While checking the wounds on Gan Yong's face, Lin Jie casually asked, "Oh, what trouble?"

"That... um, the lawyer's letter was published on Hu Ge's official Weibo. Once I saw it, I knew it was you who sent the lawyer's letter."

Qi Yanan said angrily, "Those brainless fans left such disgusting comments, and I argued with them."

"In a moment of anger, I posted photos of Gan Yong after surgery, telling them to wait and see what happens!"

Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "Oh, that's not a big deal!"

Qi Yanan's face fell, and she said with a distressed expression, "Who knew that among those people, there were experts."

"They figured out that we were at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital based on the scenery outside the window in the photos."

"Moreover, they even found out that you are that plastic surgeon."

"Dr. Lin, have I caused you a lot of trouble?"

Lin Jie didn't answer but took out his phone and said, "Let me check what those crazy fans are saying."

He found Hu Ge's Weibo and saw a post titled "Dr. Lin Jie: The Man," pinned at the top.

Lin Jie opened the post, seeing photos, videos, and a large amount of textual information basically outlining his background and achievements in significant detail.

He was not surprised by this.

Being a celebrity now, there's quite an extensive introduction about him online.

Authoritative sources include official websites like Anlin Hospital, Anlin Charity Fund, Binhai University, and Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.

Lin Jie also noticed two highly ranked at mentions in the post.

One was a post from a "Beauty Expert, Image Consultant."

When Lin Jie opened the "Beauty Expert, Image Consultant," he discovered that this person was actually Cui Shanshan.

In her introduction, there was an additional line introducing her as the host of the "Beautiful Girl and Handsome Guy Transformation" segment.

In her Weibo post, Cui Shanshan openly admitted her transgender identity and straightforwardly stated that Dr. Lin Jie was her chief surgeon.

She also uploaded many before-and-after photos of her transformation.

Finally, Cui Shanshan wrote in striking text: "My transformation was completely crafted by Expert Lin."

"If anyone still doubts Expert Lin's skills after seeing the comparison photos, they're just blind."

"Even if you're blind, I still recommend Expert Lin to you. He's also an extremely, extremely, extremely outstanding eye specialist."

Lin Jie noticed that the post had garnered over nine thousand comments.

And the number of followers of this Weibo account had exceeded 200,000.

Lin Jie refreshed the page and found the comments had immediately surpassed 10,000, and the followers had exceeded 210,000.

"This character supported me while also gaining some traffic wave; truly killing two birds with one stone."

Lin Jie laughed and closed Cui Shanshan's Weibo, then opened another person's Weibo.

This was Zhuang Shilei's Weibo.

Her Weibo was very simple, just with two pictures regarding this matter.

These were front-facing photos of her face, one before the left side was repaired and one after.

There was also a caption: "My change is proof of Expert Lin Jie's skills."

Lin Jie didn't expect that Zhuang Shilei would post photos of her injured left face.

Previously, she avoided this topic intensely, otherwise, she wouldn't have always worn half a mask everywhere.

Perhaps the recovery of her appearance allowed her mindset to change, enabling her to face her appearance damage matter head-on.

Lin Jie returned to Hu Ge's official Weibo to check the latest comments from netizens.

Maybe Lin Jie's qualifications were too impressive, with these two witnesses speaking out, the comments from netizens were no longer full of sarcasm and ridicule.

There were more comments expressing doubt such as "Hard to believe, really that amazing," and others showing interest in following up with "Let's wait and see."

Lin Jie put away his phone and smiled at Qi Yanan: "So far, it doesn't seem to be much trouble..."

Today is Thursday, Lin Jie quickly finished his lunch and rushed back to the Medical College for a lecture.

During class, Lin Jie noticed that one person seated in the front row had been staring at him continuously.

In past lectures, Lin Jie seldom paid attention to the reactions and feedback of the many students below the podium.

This kind of forced-feeding teaching style, apart from about a dozen of his students, the others were just auditing students.

Whether they liked it or not, it didn't matter, they were free to come and go.

But this particular student's gaze was too resentful, continually staring without pause.

The way Lin Jie was being looked at made him feel somewhat uneasy.

With still over ten minutes before the usual break time, he hastily announced, "Let's take a short break."

After saying this, Lin Jie stepped off the podium, walked a few steps towards this student, and asked, "Niu Yilan, you're not a medical student, what class are you here to listen to? If you want to find me, it's not like you can't."

Indeed, this person was none other than Niu Yilan, the former roommate of Li Ting and Chen Lili, known for her tolerance to anesthetics.

She stood up from her seat, stared at Lin Jie for a moment, then said angrily, "Lin Jie, Dr. Lin, Great Expert Lin, it turns out your plastic surgery skills are just that good, so good they're beyond words!"

As she said this, Niu Yilan pointed at her own face.

Compared to the first time they met, with her uneven eyes and bulbous nose, Niu Yilan's eyes and nose had shown some improvement.

However, there were parts of her facial muscles that appeared twisted and unnatural, and her mouth was slightly crooked, with a slight asymmetry of the nostrils.

Overall, Niu Yilan's appearance had improved somewhat, but it was merely a enhancement from a score of forty-five to fifty, still leaving much to be desired.

"Doesn't your heart hurt when you see what I look like now?"

"I don't believe you don't feel any heartache at all."

The statement was somewhat ambiguous, causing many nearby students to stop in their tracks, wanting to stay and watch the scene unfold.

Lin Jie surveyed the room with a stern expression.

These onlookers quickly scattered like birds and beasts, rushing out of the small auditorium.

Lin Jie understood what Niu Yilan meant and silently thought to himself that he didn't feel any heartache at all.

Of course, this thought couldn't be spoken out loud.

Lin Jie responded in a calm tone, "At that time, I didn't have a license to practice medicine."

"Plus, I actually introduced you to Dr. Yao Siyuan back then."

"But in the end, you abandoned Dr. Yao and chose another doctor."

"Given your current situation, it's unfair to blame me."

Niu Yilan's chest heaved rapidly a few times.

She clenched her fists, suppressed her resentment, and with a voice full of grievance and pleading said, "Great Expert Lin, let's not talk about the past."

"Could you consider helping me out with plastic surgery, given that we've known each other for a long time?"

"I... I dream of becoming beautiful..."

As she said this, Niu Yilan's eyes turned red, and her mouth opened wide, suddenly bursting into tears.
