On this Friday, it could be called a day of concentrated announcements,

Besides learning that Bowei International School was shut down and the joint investigation team needed more time for a deeper inquiry, Lin Jie also learned that the police officially announced to the public that Hu Yuankui from Kangning Hospital had hired a murderer to kill He Tongfang.

This case undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for the already devastated Hu Family and stripped away any sympathy gained from Hu Yitong's death.

Additionally, Lin Jie received another piece of news.

The people who tried to frame him, like Gao Qihua and Wei Zhifeng, were respectively punished for issues like embezzlement and misconduct. Their illegal gains were confiscated, they were fined, had their medical licenses revoked, and were sentenced to suspended prison terms of six months to one year.

Lin Jie was quite satisfied with this punishment.

Now, many people almost know that these punishments towards them came from Lin Jie's revenge.

This outcome should deter a group of malicious people driven by jealousy and hatred.

In the car on the way home in the evening, looking at the silent driver Guan Muhua, Lin Jie asked, "Guan Muhua, how are you and Fang Huanru getting along? Have you met her father yet?"

"Well… this…"

Guan Muhua hesitated and said, "Dr. Lin, could you pass a message to Dr. Fang for me? I think she and I aren't quite suitable for each other."

"Hmm? What's going on? Is there a problem?"

Lin Jie asked in surprise, "Weren't you getting along quite well recently? Often dining and shopping together."

Guan Muhua just grimaced, saying reluctantly, "Things were good, but being with her, I always feel too restrained, unable to loosen up."

"Also, in terms of living habits, I feel there's a significant disparity between us."

"For example, when we're dining after shopping at night, I feel it's fine to find a decent restaurant, the food stalls in the night market are even better."

"However, Dr. Fang always chooses upscale restaurants, saying that sanitary conditions are guaranteed."

Lin Jie explained, "Doctors tend to have a bit of a cleanliness obsession."

"Regarding this dining issue, why not just accommodate her, it doesn't harm you in any way."

"This, this…"

Guan Muhua hesitated for a while and said, "Dr. Lin, I think Dr. Fang's lifestyle is too refined, while I'm just a rough man, the two of us truly don't match."

Lin Jie asked directly, "Guan Muhua, tell me honestly, is it Dr. Fang's educational background and family that are pressuring you?"

Guan Muhua was silent for a moment and nodded, "Originally, I thought I could overcome these issues."

"But spending time with her for a while, I'm always trying to fit in carefully, afraid of exposing my ignorance and shallowness."

"It's too mentally exhausting, this isn't the life I want. The saying about equal social standing really has its point."

"Dr. Lin, could you please talk to Dr. Fang for me?"

Lin Jie shook his head directly and refused, "This matter, it'd be best if you two have an open conversation."

"Express your feelings to her honestly, without hiding anything."

"After you both discuss it, decide whether to continue or end this relationship. I, as an outsider, will not interfere."

Guan Muhua let out a somewhat troubled sigh but did not further ask Lin Jie for help.

Back home, Lin Jie played with Lele, who rushed up to greet him, for a while and then began preparing dinner.

He took out a sizable tuna from the fridge, cut off a big piece of fish meat, and then sliced it into several pieces, preparing to make pan-fried fish fillets, braised fish chunks, fish ball soup, and fried fish steaks.

As for sashimi, that's not Lin Jie's preference.

When Lin Jie had almost finished preparing dinner, Lin Miao came back too.

"Smells great, brother, what delicious food are you making?"

Lin Miao dashed into the dining room with a roar, "Wow, a full fish feast, I love it."

"By the way, brother, Sister Kexin is having dinner at home with Uncle An tonight, she'll be coming over later."

Lin Jie responded with an "Oh," carrying the rice cooker out of the kitchen, and said, "Got it. Let's start having dinner then..."

Midway through the meal, Lin Miao suddenly remarked, "Brother, it's been a long time since it was just the two of us having a meal together, right?"

Lin Jie agreed with a nod, "Sister Xiaoxiao is at the hospital and Kexin is home, so it's just the two of us…"

He realized something, paused his chopsticks, and asked, "Miaomiao, do you feel it's lonely with just the two of us having dinner, or are you happy about it?"

Lin Miao tilted her head slightly and countered, "How about you, brother, how do you feel?"

Lin Jie ladled a bowl of fish ball soup for her and chuckled softly, "If you like it, I can arrange a weekly gathering just for the two of us."

"Really?" Lin Miao's eyes lit up.

Lin Jie nodded affirmatively, "Of course it's true."

"Kexin also needs to spend some time with Uncle An, and Sister Xiaoxiao should have some free time to herself."

"We can either cook at home or dine out, and after our meal, I can also accompany you for shopping or a movie."

Lin Miao's eyes narrowed with happiness, extending her little finger, and said, "Brother, then it's settled."

"Pinky swear..."

After the pinky swear, Lin Jie said bluntly, "Hurry up and eat; after dinner, you clean up the dishes and the kitchen. I need to go to the study to research the situation with the conjoined twins."

Lin Miao pouted and said, "Oh," then worriedly asked, "Brother, is there any good news about those two little ones?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "The latest test information from today still doesn't bring good news."

"Besides overlapping cortical functional areas, there are several intertwined and even shared cranial blood vessels between those two little guys."

"If we want to successfully separate them, reconstructing brain vessels is essential."

Lin Miao worriedly asked, "Does more testing information suggest that only one can survive?"

Lin Jie sighed and honestly said, "As it stands right now, that's how it is. As we get more detailed examination information, the likelihood of successfully separating these conjoined twins keeps diminishing."

"Tonight, I'm planning to filter all the examination information again. Maybe I'll discover something new..."

An Kexin returned to Xiangtai Apartment, and it was already past ten-thirty.

He found the living room TV still on, Lin Miao, wearing a thick nightgown and covered with a blanket, had fallen asleep on the sofa. Next to her was a thick book on finance.

Lele was curled up at her feet.

"Miaomiao, wake up and go sleep in the bedroom. Sleeping here is easy to catch a cold."

Lin Miao was awakened, groggily looking at An Kexin, and mumbled, "Kexin, you're back, what time is it?"

"It's almost ten-fifty. Where's your brother?"

Lin Miao got off the sofa, muttering, "He should still be in the study. Kexin, I'm going to bed."

"Lele, let's go."

She nudged Lele and, with her eyes still closed, made her way to the second floor based on feel.

This made An Kexin a bit worried, but watching her make it up to the second floor safely reassured her.

An Kexin returned to the bedroom, changed into her pajamas, removed her makeup, washed up, and carried a cup of hot milk into the study, where she saw Lin Jie bent over the desk, writing and drawing.

She handed the milk to Lin Jie, softly saying, "A-Jie, it's getting late. You should rest."

Lin Jie got up, took the milk, and drank it in one go. As he tidied up the books and materials on the desk, he said, "I'll tidy up, then head out."

"A-Jie, I discussed it with Dad, and we can still pull together the money to buy that high-precision CT machine from Kangning Hospital."

An Kexin smiled and said, "Now that Hu Yuankui's case has been announced, maybe that equipment will get a bit cheaper."

Lin Jie nodded, somewhat proudly saying, "Even though that equipment has high precision, there are few buyers in need of it. Honestly, besides me, there are truly few in the country who can fully utilize this equipment."

"Having it at Anlin Hospital puts it to good use."

"Look at you showing off. Be careful; if Kangning Hospital knows it's you behind the purchase, they'd rather sell it off cheaply to another hospital than to Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital."

Saying this, An Kexin sighed, "We used to avoid it whenever we could, but now we're tied up with Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital. It seems some things can't be avoided if you want to."

Lin Jie said helplessly, "I never thought that his son's luck would be that good."

An Kexin remembered something, repeatedly reminding, "A-Jie, you need to keep an eye on Kemeng. Don't let that guy with ulterior motives focus his attention on Kemeng."

"After at least eight years of studying together, some things need to be guarded against early."

"Since it's confirmed that there's a problem with Yuerong Plastic Surgery Hospital, unless Jin Lechen stops early, it'll expose itself one day."

Lin Jie nodded firmly and said, "You can rest assured about this."

"If that kid behaves well, it's alright. Otherwise, I can find any excuse to kick him out of the medical orientation class."

An Kexin asked again, "By the way, what's going on with Xue Linlin? During dinner, Kemeng kept murmuring about this matter."

Lin Jie smiled and explained, "I'm finding a partner for Kemeng."

"Now she doesn't need to attend school and is restricted. Her classmates are busy preparing for the college entrance exam, and both Miao, you, and I need to work; we don't have time to accompany her."

"She and Xue Linlin can accompany each other to exercise and study, avoiding wasting time on video games."

An Kexin nodded in agreement and smiled, "Having a partner to encourage each other is indeed a good idea."

"However, Kemeng has quite an opinion about Xue Linlin!"

Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "I think Xue Linlin is fine. Once Kemeng gets familiar with her, they'll become friends."

An Kexin gently pursed her lips, not continuing this topic, and instead asked, "Whose medical data are you researching tonight? Nannan's or the conjoined twins'?"

"The conjoined twins'!"

Lin Jie softly said, "The current situation isn't optimistic. I plan to conduct a craniotomy examination on the conjoined twins personally on Monday."

"If the actual condition is still bad, I'll have to make the final decision..."
