Leaning on Lin Jie, An Kexin, who was so sleepy she couldn't lift her eyelids, was woken up by Lin Jie's pat.

She glanced at the computer screen with drowsy eyes and said in confusion, "This is the lawsuit that Kangning Hospital won, right?"

Just after saying this, she remembered what Lin Jie had just said. An Kexin's sleepiness immediately faded, and she grabbed Lin Jie's arm, asking excitedly, "Ajie, what did you just say, a fatal mistake?"

Lin Jie stared at the image on the screen and said, "You first talk about this lawsuit!"

An Kexin straightened her back, tidied up the messy hair in front of her forehead, and recalled, "This patient posted online complaining about the high drug costs and was sued by Kangning Hospital."

"The lawsuit was about the patient's photo, which contained the prescription medicine provided by the hospital that day."

"Kangning Hospital claimed that this prescription was the result of the doctors' research at the hospital."

"The patient's unauthorized posting of the photo might have revealed this prescription, causing significant loss to the hospital and violating the confidentiality clause in the patient's hospitalization form."

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "I initially had a 60% confidence; when you mentioned this case, it raised to 70 to 80%."

"I think what Kangning Hospital wants to keep secret is not some prescription at all."

He pointed at the image of a red, oval, rugby-shaped pill and said, "This is a heart failure relief drug manufactured by the United States Anjing Biological Pharmaceutical."

"I don't know the domestic price, but in the United States, each pill costs about 200 US dollars!"

After enlarging the image, Lin Jie said, "If you look closely, you'll notice that the shape and color of this pill differ slightly from the genuine drug produced by Anjing Biological Pharmaceutical."

An Kexin's eyes lit up, she asked, "Ajie, are you saying this is a counterfeit drug, no, it should be a high-grade imitation!"

"So Kangning Hospital gave a fake drug to the patient?"

Lin Jie nodded, "What I can't say about others, but this pill in the photo is 70 to 80% likely to be fake."

"You said it's 70 to 80%, then it's definitely a fake drug!"

An Kexin excitedly stood up, waved her little fists, and paced back and forth on the bed, exclaiming, "Kangning Hospital has always prided itself on professional doctors, excellent equipment, and thoughtful service."

"If it leaks that they're using fake drugs, hmm, it would absolutely be a fatal blow."

"It's not just about reputation, it's illegal!"

Lin Jie reminded, "Kexin, don't get too excited or act impulsively. For anything, we need to have concrete evidence before taking action."

"No one will believe just a photo and my personal judgment easily."

An Kexin took a few deep breaths, sat cross-legged in front of Lin Jie, and said, "I'm not a naive young girl; I know the principle of being fully prepared and attacking with precision."

"Ajie, you've pointed out this issue, which gives us a direction for investigation and evidence-gathering."

"That's much better than fumbling around blindly."

She analyzed with a chuckle, "Kangning Hospital using fake drugs probably isn't a one-time thing."

An Kexin thought for a moment, then patted Lin Jie's shoulder and said assertively, "Leave the follow-up to me and Dad, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Just focus on being your doctor and teacher."

She suddenly realized a question and asked, "Hey, Ajie, how are you so familiar with drugs that you can see the problem at a glance?"

Lin Jie proudly said, "I'm a medical genius, and drugs are essential for treating patients, so how could I not be familiar with them!"

He wouldn't tell An Kexin that it was Shen Lanruo who first noticed this image.

Shen Lanruo, being a cardiac expert at the Mayo Clinic, was extremely familiar with drugs for treating various heart diseases, so Lin Jie was naturally familiar with them as well.

With Shen Lanruo's reminder, Lin Jie saw the problem.

Given Lin Jie's reputation for omnipotence, An Kexin, already accustomed to it, wouldn't doubt his words.

She didn't inquire further, pushed Lin Jie onto the bed, tossed the computer aside, and said with a wet tone, "This time, you're underneath…"

When Lin Jie woke up the next morning, he felt refreshed.

However, the beauty was not by his side.

After washing up, he came to the living room and found An Kexin video chatting with Slophel from the United States.

"Hi, Dr. Lin Jie!"

Slophel greeted him and continued, "In ten days, it will be the Christmas holiday, and Adam-Tieren is going to host a large Christmas party."

"He's asking me to invite you and sincerely hopes you can attend."

Flying across half the globe just to attend a party?

Lin Jie would have to be crazy to agree to this.

He politely declined the invitation and asked, "Has the penalty decision for Adam-Tieren's concealment of illness been released?"

Slophel nodded and said, "The league and the team have fined him three million and one million US dollars, respectively, but there's no suspension. It's considered a relatively light penalty."

"Now that Tieren's performance is back, he can earn back this fine with a couple of endorsements or advertisements."

"Dr. Lin Jie, I also want to congratulate you on winning the medical skills competition with Dr. Maxwell and pioneering the 'Lin Jie Healing Technique.' Your name has become known to many Americans."

Although Slophel spoke of congratulations, his face bore a smile mixed with worry.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and understood, then said, "Mr. Slophel, you don't need to worry about American patients bypassing you and coming directly here to seek my treatment."

"According to our previous agreement, patients you refer will be given priority on my side."

Slophel sighed with some relief and said, "I've never worried about the execution of our agreement. I'm just concerned about the issue of treatment fees."

"Dr. Lin Jie, as your fame increases, information about you has become very transparent, especially since your country likes to set clear and transparent pricing."

"In this way, the treatment fees..."

An Kexin took over the topic and explained, "You don't need to worry about this issue."

"Ajie's patient treatment prices are not restricted by transparent pricing. Moreover, Ajie's treatment prices operate on a dual pricing system, one for domestic patients and another for foreign patients."

She joked, "You've all charged us high tariffs, so aren't we allowed to retaliate a bit?"

Slophel laughed heartily and said, "Now I'm relieved."

"Medical resources are limited, and top doctors never lack patients."

"For renowned doctors at Lin Jie's level, they have the liberty to set prices as they wish."

Slophel, having resolved his concerns, had a big happy smile on his face.

He then inquired about the vocal cord recovery of the talk show host, Gilbert, before ending the call.

After breakfast, An Kexin hurried off, saying she needed to discuss a proper plan with An Weize, to find irrefutable evidence, ideally to bring down Kangning Hospital in one blow.

Lin Jie, on the other hand, returned to his study to translate his work into English.

Recently, he found a voice-to-text software with a high recognition rate for English, which greatly improved the efficiency of translation.

Lin Jie only needed to interpret once, then proofread it.

At ten in the morning, Lin Jie had a visitor, Tian Xiangyu.

Remembering he had classes in the afternoon, Tian Xiangyu instead came to see him in the morning. Lin Jie asked with concern, "Tian Xiangyu, do you have something urgent?"

Tian Xiangyu, however, said somewhat embarrassingly, "Teacher, it's not urgent, it's a personal matter!"

"Teacher, I want to stay and work at Anlin Hospital, is that okay?"

Lin Jie didn't answer directly but brought him into the study and asked, "Tell me, what really happened? Previously, you didn't want to stay and work."

Tian Xiangyu softly said, "Teacher, originally it wasn't about not wanting to stay, but out of moral and emotional considerations, I couldn't just abandon Jingcheng University Affiliated Hospital."

"I was specially nurtured by Jingcheng University and the University Affiliated Hospital. If I just leave, what kind of person would I be?"

Lin Jie looked at him and asked with amusement, "Then why did you change your mind now?"

Tian Xiangyu, with gratitude in his voice, said, "It's because the dean of the University Affiliated Hospital, Wang Yuansen, who is also my teacher, gave me a stern lecture."

"Teacher Wang said that giving up the opportunity to learn and advance with you is an extremely foolish and shortsighted behavior."

"Teacher Wang said that staying at Anlin Hospital is a loss for the University Affiliated Hospital but a huge gain for the patients."

"Staying at the University Affiliated Hospital, the heights I could reach are far less than what I could achieve by staying at Anlin Hospital."

"Teacher Wang also said that if I stay and work at Anlin Hospital, I wouldn't have to pay any penalty fees to the University Affiliated Hospital. The hospital would fully support my job transfer."

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "Your teacher Wang is truly sincere to you, not just ordinarily good. Tian Xiangyu, does he have a daughter he wants to marry you?"

Tian Xiangyu blushed slightly and said, "We're talking, but the relationship hasn't been officially established yet!"

Lin Jie responded with an "Oh," then slowly said, "If you wish to stay and work at Anlin Hospital, you're certainly welcome."

"However, there is one thing I need to tell you…"

In a serious tone, he said, "Don't think about working for a few years and then running off, only to return to the University Affiliated Hospital."

"I'm putting effort into mentoring you, not to train a neurosurgery department head for another hospital."

"My tolerance isn't as wide as your teacher Wang's."

Tian Xiangyu understood the implication, that Lin Jie regarded him as the future head of neurosurgery at Anlin Hospital.

He chuckled and promised, "Teacher, don't worry."

"Since I've decided to stay, I'm fully committed—alive as the person of Anlin Hospital, dead as the ghost of Anlin Hospital…"

At this moment, Lin Jie's phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

He answered it.

A male voice came through the phone, "Dean Lin, I am Water Buffalo!"

Lin Jie said to Tian Xiangyu, "This call is very important for me! We've finished discussing your matter, head back for now."

"Also, there's one more thing, tomorrow a person named Li Chao will be checking his mother in for hospitalization, please take care of that…"

After Tian Xiangyu left the study, Lin Jie quickly asked, "Comrade Water Buffalo, is there any news on yesterday's matter?"
