Anlin Hospital would reduce its expenses by four to five million, while the charity fund would increase its spending by four to five hundred, and there's the added social effect. An Kexin would naturally figure this out.

After hearing Lin Jie's explanation, An Kexin couldn't help but laugh, "The University Affiliated Hospital really knows how to hitch a ride; both of their deans are quite resourceful people."

"A-Jie, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Facing An Kexin and Ling Mengjiao, Lin Jie didn't hold back and spoke frankly, "After all, Anlin Hospital is a new hospital, and neither you nor I have experience in managing a hospital."

"The staff at the hospital also come from all over, so this adjustment period will definitely not be short."

"Moreover, we have competitors watching us closely."

"Establishing a close cooperative relationship with such a powerful hospital as the University Affiliated Hospital might help us get through some unforeseen difficulties in the future."

Lin Jie laughed again, "Due to location constraints, the Affiliated Hospital has very limited potential for expansion unless they build a branch elsewhere."

"It is the top choice hospital in the minds of Binhai City residents and is also the referral center hospital for severe patients from surrounding provinces and cities."

"Basically, the Affiliated Hospital has always been operating at full capacity, and even diverting a little bit of patients to us would be enough for Anlin Hospital to get by."

An Kexin nodded in agreement, "The Affiliated Hospital also needs your guidance to improve the level and caliber of their doctors, so we each have our own needs."

"I will discuss the cooperation details with Dean Gong, Vice Director Fang, the Medical College, and the Affiliated Hospital."

"Regarding the conjoined twin sisters..."

She said worriedly, "A-Jie, this is a craniopagus conjoined twin; the surgical risk is ..."

"I understand what you mean!"

Lin Jie took over her words, smiled, and asked, "Do you think I should choose surgeries I am confident about to avoid failure?"

An Kexin shook her head and hurriedly explained, "I didn't think that way."

"A-Jie, I just feel that separating this pair of craniopagus conjoined twins is really high-risk, and we don't need to take on such a big risk."

Lin Jie said slowly, "For a surgeon, surgical failure and patient death are unavoidable things."

"I have never worried, nor feared the coming of surgical failure."

"Because every time I am the chief surgeon, I give it my all, I put in my utmost effort."

His gaze once again fell on the photo of the conjoined twins in front of him, and he said deeply, "I also understand the difficulty of craniopagus separation surgery; it is definitely an extremely high-difficulty challenge, and the chances of success are not high."

"But based on my preliminary judgment, if these conjoined twins don't undergo separation surgery, they are unlikely to live past five years old."

Lin Jie took a deep breath, with a hint of excitement, "Kexin, I want to try and challenge it."

An Kexin felt Lin Jie's hidden passion, held his hand, and said, "Since you want to try, then I'll just have to accompany you in this challenge."

"Besides, the charity fund still has the capacity to cover this cost."

Lin Jie assured, "Kexin, don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

"As for whether the surgery can be done on these conjoined twins, and how likely it is to succeed—whether both can survive, or only one—this all depends on the specific examination results."

"I would never use these two poor infants as experiments just for a few percentages of success probability."

An Kexin squeezed his hand, saying, "In this regard, I trust you are always exceptionally prudent in medical matters."

"What others see as exceptionally risky decisions, I know they are conservative to you."

She turned to Ling Mengjiao and instructed, "Mengjiao, it will be tough on you."

"We need to have a good communication with the welfare institution this weekend, hmm... and also arrange for one or two news media to follow up."

"Once this matter is really determined, we'll push the report heavily."

Ling Mengjiao tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, saying, "President An, it's no hardship; it's part of my job."

She quickly glanced at Lin Jie, then turned her gaze to the conjoined twins' photo, continued, "Being able to help them recover health under Lin Jie's superb medical skills, no matter how exhausting, it is a joy willingly borne!"

"President An, Lin Jie, I'll head out to get busy now!"

When Ling Mengjiao left the office, An Kexin suddenly said somewhat annoyed, "The night of the annual meeting, I had a bit too much to drink and told Zhou Ziyan I would introduce him to Mengjiao."

"I only found out today that Zhou Ziyan actually went specifically to chat with Mengjiao that night."

She said indignantly, "Today I tried to probe Mengjiao. She said she's still young and will think about it after working a few more years."

"Hmph, that kid must have disliked Mengjiao and said something he shouldn't have."

"Mengjiao is such a good girl, what right does he have to dislike her? If he weren't part of the Zhou Family, I would have fired him long ago."

Seeing her angry demeanor, Lin Jie chuckled softly, "That's all your guess; maybe Mengjiao doesn't fancy Zhou Ziyan either."

"Mengjiao is only twenty-two, right? No rush."

"Besides, once the hospital opens, there will be over a hundred single guys for her to choose from."

An Kexin, turning anger into joy, said, "That's true, Mengjiao has plenty of options and doesn't need to bother with that guy."

She glanced at the time and said, "Ah Jie, it's not even four o'clock yet. Wait another hour or so for me, and after I finish some things, we can go back."

Lin Jie, thinking of tomorrow's surgery schedule, said, "I need to go to the Armed Police General Hospital tomorrow; it will take the whole day, so I need a good night's rest tonight."

"But we can have dinner together outside!"

An Kexin let out an "Oh," and said insightfully, "I understand, and I also want to go home to have a heart-to-heart with Kemeng..."

Hu Yuanqing stood by the big bed, looking at the frail old man asleep on it.

The age spots on the face and the withered hands clearly indicated that this person was in the twilight of their years, like a dry leaf trembling in the chilly autumn wind, unsure of how many more days it could cling to the branch!

The person on the bed seemed to sense a gaze and slowly opened their eyes.

Seeing who it was, the old man spoke slowly, slurring a little, "At this time, you're not busy at the hospital. What brings you here? Has something happened?"

Hu Yuanqing took a deep breath, a resolute look in his eyes, and said, "Dad, something has happened, something big."

Hu Yitong moved slightly, and Hu Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward to support him, placing two soft pillows behind his back.

Leaning against the headboard, Hu Yitong adjusted his position to get more comfortable and calmly said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"These past few days, neither you nor your elder brother has come to see me. Even the younger ones speak evasively. I knew something must have happened."

"Could it be a major medical accident?"

Hu Yuanqing revealed a bitter smile and said, "It's more than just a medical accident. I've just been bailed out of the police station; my elder brother and others are still locked up there."

"Dad, Kangning Hospital is finished, completely finished this time."

Hu Yitong was stunned for a moment before finally understanding Hu Yuanqing's words, angrily saying, "Have you lost your mind? Talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

"The hospital has been around for over ten years and has never lost money. How could it suddenly be over?"

"What exactly happened? Explain it to me clearly."

He confidently said, "Although I've been cooped up here for more than half a year, this old face of mine can still call on a few people to step in."

"No matter how big the issue, as long as I'm here, it can be suppressed, even if it means spending more money."

"Dad, this is different from the past; it's not something that can be easily suppressed."

Hu Yuanqing said with grief and indignation, "This time, elder brother has completely destroyed the hospital and the entire Hu Family."

He then detailed the incident of the hospital getting caught producing and selling counterfeit drugs on the spot.

Seeing Hu Yitong's stunned expression, seeming not to believe it, Hu Yuanqing continued, "Dad, elder brother has confessed everything, confessed it all clearly."

"He's been producing and selling counterfeit drugs on his own for five years."

"There are at least thousands of patients affected by the fake drugs."

"Now, our Hu Family is like a rat crossing the street, sparking public outrage. Multiple law firms are gathering injured patients to prepare for a class-action lawsuit."

"I've been informed that at least 1,300 people have contacted various law firms, and among those over a thousand, there are more than a dozen from the families of deceased patients."

"Although those patients have long since died and been cremated, with unclear causality between their deaths and the fake drugs, the impact of the counterfeit drugs cannot be washed away no matter what..."

"Dad, the compensation for so many patients is enough to bankrupt our Hu Family completely, and there's even a risk of imprisonment..."

Seeing Hu Yitong unresponsive, seemingly shocked, Hu Yuanqing steadied his emotions and continued, "Dad, before I came, someone mentioned to me that if we transfer Kangning Hospital."

"They will do everything possible to help us navigate this situation, limiting the main responsibility of this incident to elder brother."

"They also promised to arrange for us to go abroad afterward, providing us with a considerable amount of funds..."

Hu Yuanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I think this is a very good solution."

"Given our current reputation, with such an incident, it's very difficult for us to stay in the country anymore. It's better to go abroad to develop."

"With medical skills and funds, we can rebuild ourselves abroad."

"Dad, what do you think?"

"Dad... Dad..."

"Someone come quickly..."
