"This time, Els provided us with a detailed explanation about the information leak."

Ye Peihua's voice slowly came through the phone, "He said that he has repeatedly reminded that cousin to keep it secret."

"Just didn't expect that, for a few thousand euros of profit, the other party would sell him out immediately."

"Expert Lin, I hope this matter hasn't caused you much trouble."

Lin Jie chuckled, "Even if it is trouble, it's a good kind of trouble."

"How did you handle this matter on your side?"

Ye Peihua sighed and said, "Els has made a deep self-reflection, and we will impose certain economic penalties on him. But this punishment won't be too severe."

"Also, we will organize a press conference as soon as possible."

"First, to announce that Els has recovered his health, joined the Guohua team, and is undergoing recovery training."

"Second, to apologize to Dr. Maxwell for his reckless words."

Lin Jie made a sound of acknowledgment and asked, "Will Anders and Enoch be exposed together?"

"Not for the time being."

"Their injuries aren't healed yet, and before next year's league begins, the team also needs major news to attract more attention."

Ye Peihua said somewhat angrily, "The incident with Els also served as a wake-up call for us."

"I will arrange for the club to pay more attention to confidentiality work..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie put on safety goggles, a mask, and rubber gloves, picked up the grinder, and continued polishing the lower end of the tibial joint head in his hand...

He had just started grinding when the study door was pushed open.

Seeing it was Zhang Xiaoxiao who came in, Lin Jie, whose work was interrupted, couldn't get angry, but still said with displeasure, "Sister Xiaoxiao, didn't I tell you that unless it's something special, don't disturb me while I'm working?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao raised the phone with her hand covering the microphone and explained, "It's a call from Guo Changlin from Hong Kong Island, about your surgical competition with Dr. Maxwell."

Lin Jie put down the tibia in his hand, took off his gloves and mask, and answered the phone, saying, "Hello, Mr. Guo!"

"Hello, Dr. Lin!"

"Dr. Maxwell personally called to explain the matter of the surgical competition with you..."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Mr. Guo, in such a situation, we will only pay more attention to the surgery."

"So, Mr. Guo, you don't need to worry about the surgery for Xiaobao."

"He will only receive more careful and meticulous care during the surgery."

Guo Changlin said with a heavy tone, "Regarding this point, I understand. I am also happy that Xiaobao can be the surgical subject for your competition."

"In the end, Dr. Maxwell asked a question, allowing us to independently choose who will perform Xiaobao's surgery."

"This... this..."

Hearing him hesitate, Lin Jie already understood his choice and laughed, "Mr. Guo, don't be embarrassed."

"Cranial surgery is high-risk after all, and being cautious is never too much."

"As the family of the patient, Mr. Guo, you have full autonomy in your decision, and I can understand any choice you make."

"Thank you, thank you for understanding!"

Guo Changlin's tone lightened up considerably and explained, "Expert Lin, sincerely, I'm sorry."

"It's not that we don't believe in you, it's just that our Guo family's third generation is only this one grandson so far."

"The old man is very protective of him and doesn't dare to take this risk."

Lin Jie gave a light smile, "I understand, I've already known about it. Is there anything else?"

"Tomorrow, I'll be taking Xiaobao straight to the United States. Dr. Maxwell said Xiaobao's surgery will be held at the Massachusetts General Hospital..."

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Lin Jie's face instantly vanished.

He handed the phone back to Zhang Xiaoxiao, somewhat dejectedly saying, "Chinese people don't support Chinese people."

Zhang Xiaoxiao softly said, "The Guo family's choice is quite normal as well."

"Your age is such that it doesn't command respect. People inevitably have many concerns, especially when it involves critical surgeries related to life and death."

"However, after this competition, no one will question your age and medical skills again."

Lin Jie also understood that Zhang Xiaoxiao was speaking the truth. The Guo family's choice was reasonable, but he couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced at the ankle joint model on the desk and said, "Ajie, shouldn't you be focusing entirely on preparing for the surgical competition with Dr. Maxwell?"

"You should put aside Tang You's surgical plan for now."

Lin Jie shook his head, saying, "It's not easy to put aside. It's already been delayed for more than two weeks, and I guess Tang You is very anxious."

"I've just got some ideas..."

As soon as he said half of this, there were footsteps and Lin Miao's voice from outside the door: "Brother, brother..."

Before she came into the study, her voice already burst in.

"Brother, your surgical skills competition with the big doctor from the United States is confirmed to be in Binhai, not going to the United States, right?"

Lin Jie looked at Lin Miao, who rushed in with a red face in a panic, nodding, "Yes, I'll be performing the surgery in Binhai, and the surgery will be live-streamed online."

"Miaomiao, are you thinking of traveling to the United States? I can arrange it."

Lin Miao visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't want to go there. It's good in Binhai. The United States isn't a safe place; there are often shooting incidents."

"Brother, you have a disaster-attracting physique."

"Just like Conan in the cartoons, wherever you go, something happens. It's safer to stay at home."

This made Lin Jie feel very annoyed, and he retorted, "Miaomiao, don't talk nonsense. You shouldn't treat individual accidental situations as a universal rule, okay?"

Lin Miao snorted, "How many times have you left Binhai in the past year, brother?"

"There have been two major accidents, and that probability isn't small. If you use this probability to buy a lottery ticket, it's easy to become a billionaire."

"And you still dare to say you don't have a disaster-attracting physique."

Lin Jie didn't want to argue with Lin Miao about this.

Having his work interrupted one after another, Lin Jie simply put it aside for now, got up, and said, "Since Miaomiao is back from work, it's time to make dinner."

"Let me take charge of tonight's dinner."

Zhang Xiaoxiao reached out to stop him, "Don't be silly. You're about to compete with top international doctors. How can we let you waste precious time cooking?"

"Miaomiao and I will cook. You take this time to prepare more..."

Lin Jie sat back down, opened his computer, and found a new email from Slophel.

The attachment was a medical record of a forty-three-year-old man named Gilbert.

After looking at the person's high-definition vocal cord images and studying them for a while, Lin Jie had a clear idea.

He replied to Slophel, stating that improvement in the person's voice could be made through surgery, but it was hard to guarantee to what extent.

If the patient is willing, arrangements can be made for further examination in Binhai next week.

Regarding specific costs, please discuss with An Kexin.

After replying to the email, Lin Jie stood up and went to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down.

At that time, it was the evening rush hour.

The road in front of the apartment was filled with traffic, and the sidewalks were crowded with pedestrians coming and going.

Looking down at the hurried people with different walking postures, Lin Jie couldn't help but imagine how Tang You's walking would look after her leg correction.

She would walk with elegance, coming gracefully...

Suddenly, Lin Jie realized an issue.

Tang You's walking posture couldn't be that beautiful!

The deformity of her left leg and foot, the walking habit developed over the years, had already caused some deformation in her hip joint, left knee joint, and spine...

Lin Jie closed his eyes and began to imagine Tang You's new walking posture after correction.

Not daring to put weight on her left foot made her walk with uneven steps, with a tilted shoulder, swinging hips, and an involuntary tilt of her body to the right...

This posture looked odd, much like a limping duck.

To give Tang You a perfect walking posture, external corrective devices would be needed to straighten Tang You's spine, along with an external left leg support frame, to forcibly correct the hip and knee joints...

Thinking of this, Lin Jie realized that he couldn't just focus on correcting the ankle joint alone.

He took the phone from his desk and found Lei Jun's number, dialing it...
