On Monday morning, Tian Xiangyu parked his car in the staff parking lot of the Affiliated Hospital. As soon as he got out, he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh, Senior Brother Tian, you got a new car?"

"And it's a Mercedes SUV, is it imported?"

He turned around to see Ma Hongmin and Zhao Fang walking briskly towards him, and he smiled, "Good morning, Junior Sisters!"

"Since I've decided to stay at Binhai Anlin Hospital and work under the teacher, I simply bought this car for convenience in work and travel."

"It was only yesterday that all the paperwork was completed. If you need to use the car, just let me know."

Zhao Fang circled around the car and said enviously, "It's true what they say, neurosurgeons really earn a lot. Senior Brother Tian, you surely have no money worries, using a luxury Mercedes as a runabout."

"What do you mean no money worries? I've just paid the down payment; the rest is all loans!"

Tian Xiangyu explained briefly and then said, "No need to envy me. I can assure you that by the time you reach my age, you will definitely have become expert-level doctors in your respective fields."

"By then, mansions, luxury cars, and personal drivers will all be standard for you."

He sighed, "Truthfully, I'm a bit envious of you, meeting the teacher during your student days."

Ma Hongmin pouted and said, "If you envy us, Senior Brother, then we must envy those junior brothers and sisters in the medical orientation class?"

Just then, they heard a familiar cadence call: "One, two, one, one, two, one, march…"

As the line of Huo Guangheng, Gao Yanhong, Guo Peng, He Yimin, and others approached, Zhao Fang shouted loudly, "You senior brothers and sisters are really amazing, running to the hospital every day, so impressive."

Guo Peng flexed his arms, showing off his muscles, and boasted, "The running distance is less than seven kilometers, far from the ten-kilometer fully armed cross-country I did in the army."

"This is just a warm-up for me."

The leader of the military doctor group, Huo Guangheng, spoke firmly, "Alright, stop showing off, it's getting late. Let's head to the office and wait for the teacher."

He then extended a hand towards Tian Xiangyu, saying, "Senior Brother Tian, please!"

Tian Xiangyu nodded and took the lead.

The others fell silent and followed Huo Guangheng and Tian Xiangyu towards the hospital's main building.

After walking a few steps, Ma Hongmin suddenly asked, "Hey, have you all seen the video of that father killing someone? Those girls were so nasty and infuriating; how could they bully people like that?"

"Hey, did any of you get bullied while you were in school?"

Huo Guangheng, Gao Yanhong, and the others all said they had watched the video.

He Yimin said softly, "I was bullied by a few people when I was in middle school. Reporting it to the teachers was useless, so I told my cousin."

"My cousin is really tough and beat those people up pretty badly. Since then, they didn't dare bully me anymore."

Gao Yanhong analyzed, "Doesn't the video say that the leader is the daughter of the school's chairman?"

"It definitely wasn't their first time bullying classmates."

"It must have been the school and parents shielding and indulging them time and again that allowed them to become so outrageous and appalling."

Zhao Fang said angrily, "Exactly, their behavior is truly outrageous."

"But this time, they finally met someone who was bold enough, and they paid with their lives for their actions."

"It's just a pity for that father and daughter. I hope the teacher can help the daughter recover and escape this nightmare."

"He will definitely do it; since the teacher took over, he will surely succeed," Ma Hongmin responded passionately.

As they chatted about this topic, they quickly took the elevator to Lin Jie's office floor.

Exiting the elevator and arriving in the corridor, they unexpectedly found several people waiting in front of the office.

As the senior brother, Tian Xiangyu walked over quickly and found that aside from Fang Huanru and Zeng Yang, the other people were also familiar faces.

However, they seemed to have formed into a few factions, and the atmosphere on the scene was a bit peculiar.

"Dean Fang, Dr. Lei, Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, good morning."

After greeting the medical seniors, Tian Xiangyu politely said, "Are you all here to see the teacher? Why don't we go into the office, sit down, and have some water while we wait…"

"No need!"

Lei Jun waved his hand, refusing, "The office is too small for so many of us, let's just stay outside where it's roomy."

"I say, Dean Fang…"

He looked over at the tall and well-built Fang Lianggong, saying in a deep voice, "Aren't you supposed to be at Limin Hospital handling complex hospital affairs, what brings you to our hospital?"

Fang Lianggong snorted lightly, "Why, do I need to report to you where I'm going?"

"Dr. Lei, I heard that your medical skills have improved greatly recently, completing several complex comminuted fracture recovery surgeries, as if trying to overshadow me, an orthopedic predecessor."

Lei Jun chuckled, "Oh, not at all, Dean Fang, as an orthopedic precursor, I have always respected you."

"But medicine is constantly evolving and so are we doctors."

"In a few years, surely…"

He glanced over at Tian Xiangyu, Guo Peng, and the others, and said, "Someone among them will definitely surpass us."

Fang Lianggong snorted coldly, "Someone just got lucky and received guidance from Expert Lin, a moment of enlightenment, and now they boast of surpassing us…"

Sensing the awkwardness in the conversation between the two, Tian Xiangyu gave a meaningful look to Fang Huanru, who was standing next to Fang Lianggong.

He took a few steps to enter the fire escape, and Fang Huanru quickly followed him in.

"Fang Huanru, what's going on? Why is your father here, does he have a grudge with Dr. Lei?"

Fang Huanru forced a smile and said, "There is some bad blood. My dad and Dr. Lei had an academic dispute early on, and since then, they can't stand each other."

"It's just that my dad's expertise has always been a bit above Dr. Lei's, and he started practicing medicine years earlier. Every time they meet, my dad takes on the air of an orthopedic elder and makes sarcastic remarks from above."

"Recently, hasn't Dr. Lei been doing incredibly well? Many orthopedic doctors say he's now the top in the Binhai Orthopedic Community."

Fang Huanru explained further, "The teacher is on a level too high to be bothered by those rankings."

"Seeing Dr. Lei seemingly surpassing him and getting recognition from many peers, my dad feels a bit uncomfortable."

"Also, that orthopedic injury case, Yao Henan, her father once sought out my dad for help."

"But my dad wasn't confident, so he declined. This time, he's here, shamelessly wanting to be involved in this surgery, to learn a bit."

Tian Xiangyu gave a nod and said, "I understand what's between your father and Dr. Lei. But what about Dr. Jiang and Dr. Qi, what's their story?"

"I feel like there's something off between the two of them too."

"Unless I'm remembering wrong, aren't they supposed to be friends?"

Fang Huanru sighed and explained, "They are old friends, but when major interests are at stake, friends become competitors."

"What are they competing for? Is it for the surgery too?" Tian Xiangyu looked puzzled.

Fang Huanru looked surprised and asked, "Senior Brother Tian, don't tell me you don't know anything?"

"Hasn't the teacher always chosen you or Junior Brother Huo to assist in neurosurgery operations?"

Tian Xiangyu was momentarily stunned and said sheepishly, "I've been busy with some new car procedures these past few days, so I've overlooked other matters. Junior Sister Fang, quickly tell me, what surgery has the teacher taken on now?"

"I did get a call from the teacher yesterday, but he only told me to come to the office at nine this morning."

Fang Huanru shook her head helplessly and said, "Senior Brother Tian, I'm so envious of you; fortunate people indeed lead less busy lives."

"The patient the teacher has taken on this time is quite special, a pair of conjoined twins."

"They're abnormally conjoined at the skull. This is a rare cranial separation surgery for conjoined twins."

Tian Xiangyu's eyes widened in excitement, "For this surgery, I don't care if it's friends, I can even disregard family..."

Lin Jie exited the elevator in the main building and saw several outsiders gathered around his office door alongside his students, almost as if they were lined up to welcome him, which felt somewhat odd.

After a brief greeting at the door, Lin Jie casually instructed, "Fang Huanru, Huo Guangheng, Ma Hongmin, Guo Peng, take Yao Henan for a full-body examination, focusing on the bone injury..."

"Also, conduct a thorough and detailed screening for nerve damage and brain injury."

"Yes, teacher!"

The group responded and left together.

Lin Jie then turned to Tian Xiangyu and said, "There's a conjoined twin patient from an orphanage arriving around ten o'clock. When they arrive, you and Gao Yanhong, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, and He Yimin will attend to them."

"First, do an initial examination of the infants, focusing on CT scans of the skull and checking for any defects in their heart function and other internal organs."

Having sent off his students, Lin Jie smiled and said, "Dean Fang, Dr. Lei, Dr. Jiang, Dr. Qi, please come into the office..."

The four followed Lin Jie into the office.

Fang Lianggong was the first to speak, "Expert Lin, I have a bit of a connection with this Yao Henan."

"Her father sought me out once, but at that time, I was too busy to schedule it, so I declined."

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun sneered inwardly, mocking quietly, "What nonsense, always making excuses. Lack of time? More like lack of skills!"

However, he chose not to expose this and listened as Fang Lianggong continued, "It was only last night that I learned she had gone through such a tragic event."

"I feel very guilty; I shouldn't have declined back then."

"Expert Lin, please let me participate in this surgery; I really want to contribute to helping this poor girl."

Fang Lianggong was a close friend of Chen Shi, Fang Huanru's father, who had also helped him during last year's Binhai University admissions, and he himself was a well-known expert in orthopedics.

With his proactive offer, it was difficult for Lin Jie to refuse him, considering both emotion and reason.

He hesitated slightly and said, "Dean Fang, having your help, I'd naturally welcome with open arms."

"However, as the head of a hospital, you have many responsibilities, and I can't schedule surgeries or treatments according to your calendar."

"I understand, Expert Lin, rest assured..."

Fang Lianggong assured, "I'll make sure to be available whenever I'm needed and won't delay the surgery."

"Very well, welcome aboard."

Lin Jie then looked at Lei Jun and smiled, "Yao Henan's bone injury is quite severe, and the surgery is extensive. If it's convenient for Dr. Lei..."

Lei Jun quickly replied, "It's very convenient, extremely convenient."

"Expert Lin, your business is my business. I am ready to follow your arrangements anytime..."

After sending off Fang Lianggong and Lei Jun, Lin Jie turned to Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen with a smile and said, "I can guess the reason both of you are here."

"If, after detailed examination, it's confirmed that this cranial separation can have a successful surgical outcome, both of you are included in my plans."

"Moreover, it's not just the two of you; I also need the support and assistance of other doctors."

Lin Jie said solemnly, "If this cranial separation surgery is to be performed, the surgical team required is not just large but exceptionally large..."
