On the drive back to the city, Lin Jie wore a sullen expression, as if a storm were about to break.

Shen Lanruo's voice echoed in his mind, murmuring, "Lin Jie, you're just a doctor. Strictly speaking, you're not even a doctor! There are many things in society beyond your control, so don't keep torturing yourself about it."

Just then, his phone rang.

Lin Jie plugged in his wireless earphones and answered the call.

Luo Shanshan's voice came through the earphones: "Lin Jie, the hospital has confirmed it's rabies!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt an inexplicable sense of relief!

Lin Jie, who had always been confident in his diagnosis, became anxious after the subsequent frightening events; if it was indeed a misdiagnosis, Lin Jie would be very troubled.

"Even Dahei kept it from me! I just notified him to find someone, didn't expect the result to be like this! Sigh... Lin Jie, are you feeling any better?"

Lin Jie replied honestly: "Still the same, I keep feeling this 'I didn't kill the Qin person, yet a Qin person died because of me' sensation!"

"It's 'I didn't kill Boren, yet Boren died because of me'!"

After correcting him, Luo Shanshan advised, "Lin Jie, you're not at fault at all for this matter and bear no responsibility. Besides, the person who died was a scumbag, not worth any sympathy. Don't burden yourself with guilt."

"Mm, for the next three days just rest at home, no need to rush to work."

Getting an unexpected three-day leave lightened Lin Jie's mood a bit.

When he got home, he found Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao had already prepared breakfast but hadn't eaten yet, waiting for him, which warmed his heart.

After breakfast, Lin Jie went to the bedroom to rest, but Lin Miao followed him in too!

She gently closed the door and softly asked, "Brother, is work not going well?"

Lin Jie tried to make his tone more cheerful as he smiled and said, "No, work is fine, it's just working night shifts, a bit tiring, but a nap will fix that!"

"Remember to wake me up on time, or if I oversleep, your singing time will be reduced accordingly!"

Lin Miao, sitting on the bed with a pout, said, "Brother, don't lie to me!"

"Even though I can't see, I can feel that you're unhappy, really unhappy. What's going on? Tell me about it!"

"We overcame so much hardship before, there's no reason to be stumped by new problems!"

This might be what's called the "when one door closes, another opens" compensation principle; although Lin Miao's eyes couldn't see, her senses in other aspects were much more acute than ordinary people.

She noticed from subtle clues that Lin Jie had something on his mind.

Seeing he couldn't hide it, Lin Jie gently pinched Lin Miao's little nose and said helplessly, "Really can't hide anything from you. If I don't tell you, you definitely won't let me sleep."

"Let me tell you, last night a patient came to the clinic..."

Due to Dahei's actions which might involve some legal issues, Lin Jie skipped this part!

He directly told Lin Miao that the patient from last night might have rabies, and on the way home today, he heard that the patient killed his ex-wife's husband overnight and that the patient's rabies was also confirmed.

"Ah... Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Miao's first reaction was to worry about him, Lin Jie, feeling much comforted, held her hand and reassured her, "How could I be in trouble, don't forget my medical skills are quite high, I obviously know how to protect myself!"

"I just feel a bit down; maybe if I hadn't told the patient about his condition, this murder wouldn't have happened."

Understanding where the issue lay, Lin Miao felt much lighter and advised, "Brother, the occurrence of this incident wasn't your intention nor could you have foreseen it."

"The real culprit should be the dog that bit people, yes, the dog is to blame!"

"Brother, has that dog been caught?"

Lin Jie shook his head, saying, "This is still unclear, but since the rabies patient has been identified, someone should come forward to organize the culling of stray dogs."

Lin Miao giggled, "Since someone is responsible for this, you don't need to worry, Brother, and you don't need to feel guilty. Come, let's sleep, I'll pat you to sleep!"

"Hmph, I'm not a child anymore!"

With Lin Miao's rhythmic patting, Lin Jie soon drifted into dreamland.

At this moment, in Zhujia Port, just as Lin Jie suspected, the residents had organized several teams to cull stray and roaming wild dogs.

In an office on the third floor of the clinic, Luo Shanshan glared at Dahei and Xiaoqi standing before her with a steely expression.

Dahei spoke softly, "After I received your call, I haven't yet gone to find Zhu Dazhi; he came to find me."

"He said he likely contracted rabies and wants to transfer his house in the village to me, asking me to clear his debts after his death and pass any remaining money to his daughter, Lanlan!"

Stealing a glance at Luo Shanshan, whose face still looked grim, Dahei continued, "You mentioned on the phone that Lin Jie's medical skills are very impressive and wouldn't be wrong, so Zhu Dazhi definitely has rabies."

"I figured, since he's dying soon anyway, why not do what a father should do before his death."

Luo Shanshan let out a long breath and asked gravely, "Is the information you investigated confirmed to be true?"

Dahei nodded, "It's true! Zhu Dazhi had previously asked me to help investigate that bastard. I found out that more than once, after getting drunk, he bragged about eventually getting the mother and daughter to serve him together."

Seeing the veins on Luo Shanshan's forehead bulging, Dahei also angrily said, "I secretly asked Little Lan, and she told me that bastard had made advances on her, which frightened her, and she said telling her mom was useless!"

"I confronted that nasty woman, but she denied it, only admitting Little Lan was beaten!"

"I could only keep someone watching, hoping to find solid evidence to put that bastard in jail for a few years. Unexpectedly, Zhu Dazhi contracted rabies."

"What happened afterward, Shanshan, you already know."

Luo Shanshan slowly nodded and asked, "Have you made all the arrangements regarding Zhu Dazhi?"

"He finally acted like a man for once; from what I've heard, he's in the hospital's isolation ward receiving treatment. His statement to the police is what we prearranged; he didn't say anything unnecessary."

At this moment, Luo Shanshan's phone vibrated, and she received a text message.

She opened it, glanced at it, sighed, and said, "Zhu Dazhi's condition has entered a highly agitated state, and he can no longer control himself, unable to even speak."

Luo Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "Little Lan's mother is an unreliable selfish person. Dahei, see if you can find a way to bring Little Lan over to us!"

Then abruptly, Luo Shanshan's tone turned icy as she said, "Dahei, if you ever act on your own again without telling me, you can explain it to my father yourself!"
