On a bustling street in Binhai, where people come and go incessantly and the lights are as bright as daylight, Lin Miao, with a beaming face, leaned against the bulky Lin Jie and said, "Brother, these candied chestnuts are sweet and glutinous, very tasty. Here you go!"

Lin Jie opened his mouth and bit into a peeled chestnut handed over by Lin Miao's little hand, chewed twice, and nodded, "Indeed, quite fragrant and sweet. Miaomiao, it's already past ten in the evening, we should head home."

"Okay, let's go home!"

Lin Miao replied sweetly, wrapped her hand around Lin Jie's arm, and asked expectantly, "Brother, will you also make time next week to have dinner, watch a movie, and go shopping with me?"

Lin Jie replied affirmatively, "As long as there's nothing special, I'll make time like this every week."

"Ah, that's great!"

"Brother, I now officially award you the title of 'World's Best Brother'!"

Lin Miao turned to face Lin Jie and said earnestly, "The reward you receive is a sweet chestnut peeled by your sister."

Lin Jie gestured to Qin Gang nearby that he was ready to go home, opened his mouth to catch a chestnut, and bit into it...

Fortunately, it was a chestnut, and the shell was somewhat elastic, so it didn't break his tooth.

Lin Jie was annoyed but could only helplessly cover his cheek as he watched Lin Miao giggle and run off into the distance...

After the car started moving, seeing that Lin Jie was ignoring her with a dark expression, Lin Miao cheerfully approached him again, "Brother, regarding the matter you helped Momo with today, should I let her know so she can appreciate it?"

Lin Jie snorted, "There's no need for you to bother about that."

"That director is bound to see it through to the end and will tell Yu Momo about it. There's no way I'll do good deeds without being known."

Lin Miao seemed to understand and asked with concern, "Brother, can you awaken that poor vegetative patient?"

Lin Jie shook his head, "The chances of that happening are very small."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have refused this task from the start. Just imagine, saving a life and receiving a ten million dollar reward, what a wonderful thing that would be. Only a fool would decline."

He sighed and said, "All I have to do now is conduct a physical examination on the patient. There's nothing impossible to promise, and it can help Yu Momo in the process."

"It's also considered a good deed for a bargain."

"If that's the case, why would that director go to such lengths to ask you to take over, knowing you can't awaken the vegetative patient?" Lin Miao was full of bewilderment.

Lin Jie paused in silence, then said thoughtfully, "He probably still harbors a glimmer of hope, some possibility, that I can discover a slight chance to awaken the patient through the examination."

"This might be what they call 'not giving up until the Yellow River,' and I am that 'Yellow River' in the director's mind."

"Oh... so that's it!"

Suddenly, Lin Miao raised her voice and guessed, "Brother, do you think this director cares so much about someone else's fiancée because..."

"He's always had a silent crush on that patient?"

Seeing the bright glimmer in Lin Miao's eyes as if she discovered a new continent, Lin Jie pinched her nose and snorted, "You're just letting your imagination run wild. This director is not even forty, at least thirty-five. He should be at least ten years older than the patient."

"According to his description, he's more of an uncle figure to the patient."

"So, he can't have those kinds of feelings for the patient; it's probably a familial bond."

Lin Miao lightly pouted and said, "In true love, age is not an issue, and honorary titles without a blood relationship aren't an issue either."

Neither wanting to engage with the stubborn little one, Lin Jie closed his eyes, pretending to rest.

However, he quickly sensed a pair of small hands rhythmically and firmly pounding on his legs.

At the same time, Lin Miao's voice echoed in his ears, "Anyway, I still hope that this time, brother, you can create another miracle and awaken that poor vegetative patient..."

The siblings returned home to find An Kexin also there.

Lin Miao couldn't help but tease, "Kexin sis, are you so inseparable from my brother that you can't go a day without seeing him?"

An Kexin smiled sweetly and agreed, "Yes, one day feels as long as three autumns when you don't see him. Who can resist your brother's charm?"

Lin Jie, still clear-headed, not swayed by sweet words, asked directly, "Kexin, since you didn't stay at the Golden Tripod Building tonight and returned specially, is there something you wanted?"

An Kexin rolled her eyes at Lin Jie and playfully said, "A-Jie, can't you just agree a little and pretend you're very charming?"

Despite her words, before Lin Jie could respond, she continued, "It's nothing major, just about the CT scanner from Kangning Hospital."

"News from Dean Jin Lechen says it's basically settled. The price is thirteen million, but we need to settle the full amount within a week."

Lin Jie laughed, "Only thirteen million, that's cheaper than we expected."

An Kexin sighed slightly, "It seems the contract killing incident made the Hu Family realize they have no hope left and want to quickly settle everything in Binhai and leave."

"I've heard the Hu Family has already commissioned an agent to sell their villa and high-end residences."

An Kexin pointed to the ground and said, "The apartment belonging to Hu Xinyi here is also listed for sale. Are you interested?"

Lin Jie shook his head, "Almost lost my life there; a house with bad omens, no thanks."

He also questioned with some doubt, "The Hu Family is so keen to dispose of their assets; has the investigation and punishment for the fake drug issue at Kangning Hospital been released?"

An Kexin nodded, "The joint investigation by the health and drug administration systems is out; responsibility mostly rests on Hu Yuankui. Kangning Hospital bears secondary management responsibility and full compensation responsibility."

"However, due to Hu Yuankui's involvement in the murder case, the compensation issue for the patient harmed by the fake drugs has to be delayed."

"For now, the Hu Family's attitude seems quite decent."

"They've consistently promised not to evade their responsibility and will actively compensate. They're also negotiating settlements with several law firms representing numerous patients."

Lin Jie nodded lightly and said, "With fake drugs and contract killings, the Hu Family's reputation is beyond redemption. Leaving Binhai for abroad might be a reasonable retreat."

Lin Miao ranted indignantly, "As they say, 'like father, like son,' that bad old man was so fixated on targeting our brother, no good could come from it."

Lin Jie lightly patted her shoulder and said, "At this point, dealings with the Hu Family can be considered settled. You can say I fulfilled the big talk I once said to the old man."

He shook his head in some disappointment.

An Kexin asked, "A-Jie, are you not satisfied with the outcome for the Hu Family?"

Lin Jie spoke softly, "It's not dissatisfaction, it's just..."

"How to say this? When I stated my intention to that old man, my true intention was to elevate Anlin Hospital step by step and beat Kangning Hospital through fair competition with my medical skills."

"But with the current situation, Kangning Hospital practically brought about its own downfall."

"The victory feels too easily obtained, lacking a sense of achievement."

An Kexin laughed, "The result is the outcome you wanted, so don't fret over the process."

"It's getting late; let's go wash up and prepare for bed..."
