Li Chao, Deputy Director of the General Office of the Chinese Medical Association.

Lin Jie glanced at the business card and ID card offered by the other party, then handed the ID card back, and said blandly, "First, tell me about the so-called conspiracy you mentioned."

Li Chao put away his ID card and said softly, "Expert Lin, I wonder if you know that the Chinese Medical Association organized a high-level team of medical experts to bring warmth to the earthquake-stricken area in the Bamboo Sea of western Sichuan?"

Lin Jie nodded.

Since learning from Xiang Rong that he had inexplicably become a member of the team, Lin Jie had been keeping an eye on the news about this expert team.

It wasn't until last Sunday that the team had already set off for the earthquake-stricken area, and Lin Jie had not received any information related to this team concerning himself.

He suspected that either Xiang Rong had the wrong information or his name was ultimately removed from the team.

Li Chao asked again, "Expert Lin, may I ask if your work mobile number has ever received calls from the Capital City, with a landline number ending in 5568?"

Hearing this, Lin Jie turned to look at Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Xiaoxiao took out her phone from her waist bag, checked the call records, and nodded, "There is such a landline number that has called several times."

She recalled and suddenly said, "I remember something now, this number always wanted to invite A Jie to the Capital City for a consultation, and I refused each time."

"Why, is there something wrong with this call?"

Li Chao nodded and said, "This is actually a work number of our Chinese Medical Association General Office. I suppose you don't usually record phone calls?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao hummed in response, which could be taken as an answer to the question.

Li Chao looked at Lin Jie and said, "Expert Lin, you may not know, but your name was also on the list for this warm-hearted expert team."

"Because of your performance during the earthquake relief efforts, your inclusion in this list carries symbolic significance."

"But, you must be wondering why you've never received any information about it, right?"

Li Chao smiled, pointed at Zhang Xiaoxiao, and said, "It was your assistant here who took those calls that supposedly invited you for consultations."

"But in the records of the Chinese Medical Association General Office, those calls were..."

"Inquiry calls inviting you to join the expert team; calls confirming your agreement to join the team; calls notifying you to gather and prepare to depart, etc."

Zhang Xiaoxiao became angry immediately and shouted, "How can this be, isn't this blatant lying and forgery?"

An Kexin gently tugged at her, persuading, "Sister Xiaoxiao, don't be anxious, let's keep listening."

Lin Jie also frowned and asked, "Li Chao, it seems the purpose of their actions was to ensure I couldn't join this warm-hearted expert team?"

"Yes, your name was on the expert team, but at the last moment, you missed it, which is what the planners wanted."

Li Chao further explained, "The specifications for this medical expert team were very high, and the list had to be reported to relevant leaders above, with the CCTV film crew accompanying."

"And you were praised by the chief as a 'hero,' having saved so many people last time. Naturally, you were one of the most special and most watched figures on this expert team."

"I've heard the CCTV film crew even planned to make a special feature about you."

"But you just mysteriously absent, letting everyone down?"

Li Chao smiled and said, "This was a carefully planned charity event, and under your name, there is still a charity fund. Imagine the impact your unexplained absence would have had on your reputation and image."

"The key is..."

Li Chao pointed upwards, "What will the leaders above think of you!"

"With follow-up operations, they could easily portray you as someone who, after suddenly becoming prosperous due to your medical skills, lost yourself, became arrogant and selfish."

"With such a label on you, don't think about receiving any honors and awards from official and association channels in the future."

Lin Jie asked suspiciously, "Did they go to such lengths to ruin my reputation and cut off my path to honors and awards?"

Li Chao said softly, "That's just the most direct outcome. The purpose is certainly more than that."

"Expert Lin, your medical skills are exceptional, and what they fear is you relying on your skills to gain more than one big patron."

"By first destroying your reputation, those above naturally won't favor you anymore."

"With no attention from important figures above, they can then calmly target you and implement other plans."

Lin Jie replied, "So far, I haven't received any news about them slandering me."

"Is their plan to wait until after the warm-hearted expert team event concludes to initiate this?"

Li Chao shook his head and said, "To my knowledge, their plan against you has already been terminated!"

"Terminated? Why?" Lin Jie asked in surprise.

"Because of your surgical competition with Dr. Maxwell!"

Li Chao gazed at Lin Jie and sighed, "I have to say, Expert Lin, you are truly favored by the heavens, very lucky, indeed."

Lin Jie internally scoffed, crap.

The first nineteen years of his life were utterly miserable, what nonsense about being favored by the heavens?

Despite his internal complaints, he showed no change in expression, continuing to listen to Li Chao, "The news of your surgical competition with Dr. Maxwell got out, and they became a little panicked."

"They also understand that when your reputation reaches a certain level, and your medical skills are high enough, you can ignore any slander."

"They just want to sabotage your surgical competition with Dr. Maxwell, trying to embarrass you..."

"Unexpectedly, you delayed the live broadcast surgery,"

Li Chao sighed, "This delay in surgery coincided exactly with the departure time of the medical expert group."

"With this, you even have a reason to bail on the expert group."

"Moreover, your pioneering 'Lin Jie Medical Method' has been recognized by several world-class medical experts, earning a great honor for our country's medical community."

"Attacking and slandering you at this stage would seem like jealousy and suppression."

"Given this, they abandoned the plan."

Lin Jie nodded, acknowledging the analysis, and asked, "You've said quite a lot about their conspiracy."

"Now can you tell me, who exactly are these people?"

Li Chao hesitated for a moment and said, "There are very influential people secretly colluding."

"Some people I'm not sure about yet, but I can confirm three people for now."

Lin Jie asked indifferently, "Oh, who are they?"

"Gao Qihua, an executive director of the Chinese Medical Association, Wei Zhifeng, chairman of the Chinese Medical Association's Pediatric Branch and director of pediatrics at Concord Hospital, and one more person, Hu Yitong, the former director of Kangning Hospital."

Upon hearing these three names, Lin Jie was eighty percent convinced by Li Chao's words.

Gao Qihua, I had repeatedly declined his gastric cancer seminar and his invitation to the thirtieth anniversary of his medical career.

Cheng Xingguang even specially reminded me to be wary of him, saying this guy is narrow-minded.

As for Wei Zhifeng, because I cured the Ma Family child's mysterious illness in the capital, he lost much face, and no longer dared claim to be the number one in pediatrics.

Regarding the old guy Hu Yitong from Kangning Hospital, he's an old enemy.

Lin Jie exhaled gently and said, "Li Chao, tell me your purpose."

"Don't tell me you specifically told me this out of a sense of justice or conscience."

Li Chao blushed and shook his head, "I don't have the face to speak of justice and conscience. The reason I know about this is actually because I'm somewhat of a participant myself."

"Bringing this to light is because I want to ask Expert Lin to save my mother."

Lin Jie extended his hand and said, "The medical record!"

Li Chao hurriedly retrieved his briefcase from Qin Gang, pulled out a medical record and a CT scan, and handed them over respectfully.

Lin Jie received the medical record and CT scan, and found that the patient had an intradural spinal tumor at the thoracic vertebrae position.

The tumor was not small and intertwined with the spinal cord nerve bundle!

After looking at it for a short while, he returned the medical record and CT scan to Li Chao.

"You can arrange for your mother to be admitted to Binhai University Affiliated Hospital first."

"However, I must remind you of one thing..."

Lin Jie's tone suddenly became severe, "I also have my sources of information, and I have enough connections and resources to find out about this. If I discover you're deceiving me..."

"The consequences will not be something you can bear."

Li Chao stiffened and solemnly promised, "Expert Lin, I may not be a good person, but I'm really trying hard to be a good son."

"For my mother's health and longevity, I absolutely have not the slightest intention of deceiving you,"

"I hope so. I will definitely verify this. In the meantime, you should go handle your mother's hospital admission procedures."

After sending Li Chao away, Lin Jie turned to face the worried An Kexin, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Lin Miao, and said in a light-hearted tone, "You don't need to worry, I will handle this."

"Brother, are you planning to use military connections or that Young Master Ye from the capital?" Lin Miao asked with concern.

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Neither the military nor that Young Master Ye."

"I can be sure that with that person's influence, this matter can definitely be resolved."

As Lin Jie said this, he thought of the incredibly mysterious man with the surname Yan.

He thought about how he was diligently working for him.

Reciprocity should not be too much to expect, for him to handle a little trouble for me, right?

"Ah Jie, regarding Kangning Hospital, there is something I need to tell you!"

An Kexin said softly, "In the past few months, my father and I have been collecting information on Kangning Hospital and the Hu Family, and we have obtained some leverageable information."

"However, to deal a fatal blow to Kangning Hospital and the Hu Family, it must be handled in your name."

"Your current reputation is enough to make many people abandon the Hu Family's little favor."

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "No exercise this morning, let's go home."

"Let's study carefully how to deal with these bastards..."
