"Calm down, you must stay calm!"

Xue Linlin looked down, staring at her clenched fists, continuously conducting self-motivation.

This method seemed not very effective; she could feel her legs were still trembling.

Yesterday, for the entire day and half of the evening, Xue Linlin, along with many students, spent a whole day doing written exams and completed various messy tests.

She felt her performance was acceptable.

Today is the interview day.

Xue Linlin knew very well that the interview carries significant weight, accounting for at least sixty percent of the total score.

The people who came here for the screening assessments are all top students from various places, and written exams don't differentiate much.

You could say the extent of performance in the interview determines life and death.

She silently cheered herself on: "Only one in twenty, thirty spots, I must become one of them."

"Xue Linlin, go for it! You must go for it!!"

"Xue Linlin!"

Upon hearing someone call her name, Xue Linlin sprang up from her seat like a spring.

She jogged to the door of the waiting room and followed a young lady into a room diagonally opposite.

As she entered the room, Xue Linlin scanned around, seeing one, two, three... nine.

There were nine judges sitting around the front of the room.

This exceeded Lin Jie's special recruitment assessment by two judges.

Thinking about that day, Lin Jie's charming demeanor in the special recruitment assessment, answering smoothly and with ease, Xue Linlin suddenly didn't feel so nervous.

As Lin Jie's most devoted follower, she couldn't lose face for him.

She took a deep breath, stepped a few steps forward to the center of the nine judges, and bowed deeply.

After rising, Xue Linlin said, "Good morning, teachers!"

"I am Xue Linlin from Binhai University Affiliated Middle School, my registration number is 00005."

"Huh, this number is quite towards the front!"

Xue Linlin turned her gaze towards the speaker, a female teacher around forty, whose nameplate read "Gao Xiaoqi."

She spoke with a strong tone of disappointment, "Hello, Teacher Gao! I had originally wanted to be the first registrant, but after submission, I ended up being the fifth."

Gao Xiaoqi picked up the tablet on the desk, flipped through it, and smiled, "Then I can tell you some good news; among all students participating in the interview assessments, your registration number is at the forefront."

Xue Linlin immediately showed a victorious smile and excitedly pumped her small fist.

A few of the interviewers showed a faint smile, and a male teacher asked, "Xue Linlin, yesterday you underwent a day of written exams and tests like personality and ability tendencies."

"Among these, what left the deepest impression on you?"

Xue Linlin looked at this male teacher, glanced at the nameplate on his desk, without hesitation, said, "Teacher Qin, the essay. My deepest impression is from the essay."

She said in bewilderment, "This time the essay topic was about writing things related to Dr. Lin Jie. It required anything, and it demanded as much detail as possible, the more facts, the better."

"This really surprised me."

"Every student coming here knows very well that behind this medical class is the renowned Dr. Lin Jie, and naturally, everyone is very familiar with his deeds."

Xue Linlin raised her point, "For an essay like this, the ability to differentiate is probably very small."

Teacher Qin asked meaningfully, "Is that so?"

"Let me first take a look at your essay, and then I'll explain the purpose behind it to you."

He picked up the tablet on the desk and pulled up the scan image of Xue Linlin's essay.

Looking at it, Teacher Qin's face soon showed surprise.

"Everyone, this Xue Linlin actually wrote down Dr. Lin Jie's license plate number and even the position of a light birthmark on his face."

"Dean Yuan, you're the most familiar with Dr. Lin Jie; verify its truth."

Yuan Guangxi, who was asked, was also startled.

He quickly skimmed through Xue Linlin's essay on the tablet, glanced at her a few times, recalled something, and asked, "Xue Linlin, this name sounds familiar to me."

"Xue Linlin, that day at Expert Lin's campus book signing event..."

Xue Linlin's face turned red in embarrassment and said, "Teacher Yuan, that girl...was me."

Yuan Guangxi chuckled and said, "Teacher Qin, this essay topic is incredibly simple for Xue Linlin."

"She is Expert Lin's number one fan, fervent admirer; the facts she listed about Expert Lin should all be correct without error."

Teacher Qin also chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Expert Lin to have fervent fans. Indeed, Expert Lin not only has talent but also looks, truly a paragon of both!"

He looked at Xue Linlin and continued, "So, this essay topic is quite fitting for you."

"Alright, let me give you a brief explanation about the purpose of the essay topic."

Teacher Qin raised two fingers and said, "There are primarily two purposes."

He folded down one finger, "The first purpose is to select students genuinely interested in the medical direction class."

"Studying medicine is an extremely arduous task, and if one doesn't have personal interest and is simply pushing against pressure from family, it is very challenging to meet the rigorous teaching requirements of Expert Lin."

"As a devoted fan, you must be aware that Expert Lin's expectations of students are unusually strict."

Xue Linlin nodded heavily and said, "I'm very aware of that."

"During their most intense moments of study and research, they don't spend more than ten minutes on each meal."

"Sometimes, they even use electric shock guns to stimulate themselves to stay fully awake."

Her remark immediately drew the interviewers' attention to Yuan Guangxi.

Yuan Guangxi cleared his throat, nodded, and said, "Yes, that is indeed true."

"However, shortly thereafter, Expert Lin made some slight adjustments so those students wouldn't have to work as hard."

Teacher Qin couldn't help but shake his head, sighing, "These methods are somewhat extreme."

"Xue Linlin, let's return to the first intention."

"Students who are unwilling or have little interest, pressured by their parents to apply, might have some understanding of Dr. Lin's personal life, but certainly not in-depth or accurately."

"Because no one would expect this issue to be treated as an important test question."

"Those genuinely interested in medicine would surely be very curious about such an extraordinary person as Dr. Lin, eager to learn all the facts about him."

Teacher Qin took a sip of water, raised two fingers, and continued, "The second intention is to check the accuracy of a person's memory."

"Many people have experienced this: something very familiar, something seen every day, yet when asked to write it down, they find their memory suddenly blurry."

"The recollected information is ambiguous, and even they are uncertain."

"This is a case of memory inaccuracy."

"Most people don't understand Dr. Lin's life with the intention of memorizing it deliberately."

"They usually explore Dr. Lin's life, surgeries he performed, and other related events out of interest and curiosity on the internet or through other means."

"This kind of memory is what students inadvertently retain, mostly belonging to superficial memory."

"This memory often gives us a misconception, that what I've seen, I should remember."

"However, when we actually try to recall and use it, it's often rife with errors and fuzzy memory."

Teacher Qin smiled and said, "Studying medicine requires good memory because there is so much to remember."

"By evaluating this essay question, the amount and accuracy of the facts students inadvertently remember, we can roughly gauge the strength of their memory."

"We don't expect a photographic memory, but poor memory still makes studying medicine unsuitable."

Xue Linlin felt a sense of admiration as she listened to Teacher Qin's explanation.

Indeed, it's deserving of a prestigious school; an apparently ordinary essay question is actually full of hidden intricacies.

Truly admirable.

Teacher Qin asked again, "Xue Linlin, are you still nervous?"

Xue Linlin hurriedly shook her head and said, "Teacher Qin, I'm not nervous, I wasn't nervous from the start!"

Teacher Qin nodded and smiled, "Not being nervous is best. Okay, now we enter the official interview stage..."

Lin Jie arrived at Binhai Armed Police General Hospital and instructed Guan Muhua to relax, without needing to follow him into the hospital's main building.

Upon entering the first-floor lobby of the main building, a colonel greeted him.

After saluting, the colonel introduced himself, "Colonel Lin, hello! I am Deputy Director Peng Changmin of the Armed Police General Hospital. Please follow me."

Lin Jie followed Colonel Peng Changmin into the elevator, arriving at the twelfth floor.

Exiting the elevator, Lin Jie followed him down a ten-meter-long corridor, through a code-locked door, and arrived in front of a tightly guarded metal door manned by two armed police officers.

Peng Changmin said in a low voice, "Colonel Lin, I can only escort you this far. This sealed door permits only you to enter."

"Yes, before entering, you must remove phones and all electronic devices and metal items."

Lin Jie had to take out his phone, keychain, wallet, and the small-handled scalpel from his pocket, handing them to the armed police officers guarding the door.

Seeing Peng Changmin eyeing his small-handled scalpel, Lin Jie simply explained, "Occupational habit!"

Lin Jie passed through a scanning door, confirming there were no prohibited items, then entered the sealed door opened by an armed police officer using retinal scanning.

Upon entering, Lin Jie was somewhat startled.

The room was quite large, about fifty or sixty square meters, yet very empty.

In the middle of the room was only a table and chair, and it was unoccupied.

Directly facing the table and chair was a floor-to-ceiling window covering the entire wall, showing a view of the dense buildings outside.

With a "boom," Lin Jie turned to see the sealed door had closed again.

Suddenly, Lin Jie was filled with intense fear.

Could his secret have been discovered?

Did the middle-aged man with the surname Yan trick him here to interrogate him?

Were they even planning to dissect him for study?

Facing this empty room, Lin Jie's fear grew thicker, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead...

Suddenly, he noticed the entire wall of the floor-to-ceiling window flickered and its brightness sharply dimmed.

Immediately, the view of the window abruptly changed, and the upper body image of the middle-aged man surnamed Yan appeared before Lin Jie!
