Near ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, the originally noisy exit of Binhai International Airport suddenly grew quiet, as if hundreds of people had been choked at the same time.

Those who had just been chatting with friends suddenly brightened their eyes and all looked toward a stunning figure that had just appeared.

This was indeed a fine-featured, dazzling beauty.

She didn't look very old, at most twenty years old, with a graceful figure. Despite being wrapped in a long, knee-length light-colored wool coat, she couldn't hide her lithe and elegant demeanor.

She was pulling a suitcase and holding a violin case in her hand. Upon seeing her family waiting for her, she showed a smile as intoxicating as spring's warmth and hastened her steps towards them.

This made many people there wish they could open their arms to embrace her and take her away.

Finally, they saw her throw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman, and many who had been secretly watching breathed a sigh of relief.

The beauty, leaning against the woman's arms, said sweetly, "Mom, I won the championship, it's an international championship."

"My Leilei is really amazing, winning first place on her first international competition!"

The middle-aged woman, Zhuang Shilei's mother, Lin Ruoyi, patted the person in her arms and chided, "Go and greet your uncle and aunt quickly, you're grown up now, don't be impolite."

"Hehe, hello uncle and aunt!"

Zhuang Shilei hurriedly left Lin Ruoyi's embrace, warmly greeted a pair of middle-aged couples nearby, and then looked around, puzzled, "Uncle, where's brother? Did he go to park or to the restroom?"

The middle-aged man, called uncle, darkened his face and said angrily, "Don't mention that brat, he was beaten until he looked like a pig's head, and he's still in the hospital lying down now."

"Ah, uncle and aunt, what happened to brother? Is his injury serious?"

Although Zhuang Shilei asked this, her gaze turned to her mother.

Lin Ruoyi sighed lightly and said, "Your brother secretly went to an underground fight, and was beaten very badly, but he's not in much danger. It's just that he looks quite miserable, alas!"

Zhuang Shilei oh-ed and said angrily, "Really, why did brother go fighting again?"

"Leilei, you've long known about Hongbo fighting underground, haven't you?"

Facing her uncle's inquiry, Zhuang Shilei shrank a little, moved closer to Lin Ruoyi, and said cautiously, "Uncle, I also found out about it accidentally some time ago."

"I also found out that brother fought underground to raise money for my medical expenses. At that time, I was so touched that I cried my heart out, and I softened and promised my brother to keep it a secret."

After saying this, she angrily added, "Brother also promised me he would not go underground fighting again. This time, he didn't keep his promise, I will have a good talk with him."

"Uncle, what is the exact situation of brother's injury?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "His head is swollen like a pig's head, a moderate concussion, left eye bleeding, and his left ear was also beaten bloody. The doctor said it isn't too serious, but he needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days."

Lin Ruoyi added, "Leilei, your brother, Hongbo, said he was set up this time."

"The other party invited a real fighting expert from out of town, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten so badly..."

At this time, a man's voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Hello everyone."

Lin Ruoyi turned her head to see that it was Zhuang Shilei's violin teacher, Du Feng, and greeted him politely, "Teacher Du, hello! Thank you for taking care of Shilei all the way!"

Du Feng chuckled lightly, "As a teacher, this is my duty."

"This time in the finals, Shilei's performance was exceptionally outstanding."

"She played the final piece perfectly, especially by infusing deep emotions into it, instantly moving all nine international judges who gave her the highest score unanimously."

Hearing him praise so highly, Zhuang Shilei's uncle just snorted and said, "I still remember someone who deliberately prevented Expert Lin from operating on Leilei, claiming that if she had the surgery, her artistic career would be ruined."

Du Feng knew he was being spoken of and retorted disdainfully, "I still stand by my point of view."

"If she doesn't have the surgery, Shilei will definitely become a great violin artist in the future. And now, with effort, Shilei can only aim to be an excellent violin performer."

"Your vulgar pursuit of external appearances has truly ruined Shilei's immortal musical path."

After saying this, Du Feng tossed his head back, his ponytail swaying artfully, walked a few steps to the side, and embraced an artistically dressed beauty.

"Alright, alright, Teacher Du is also concerned about Leilei."

Lin Ruoyi persuaded Zhuang Shilei's uncle and took the violin from Zhuang Shilei, "Let's hurry home, you must be tired after seven or eight hours of flight."

"Let's go home and rest for a while, and we'll celebrate together tonight."

Zhuang Shilei replied with an "okay" and walked arm in arm with Lin Ruoyi, heading out with her uncle and aunt.

She suddenly noticed that Lin Ruoyi was wearing a pink nurse's uniform under her down jacket, and asked in confusion, "Mom, did you come straight from the hospital?"

"Why are you wearing a junior nurse's pink uniform?"

Before Lin Ruoyi could respond, Zhuang Shilei's aunt quickly replied, "Leilei, you might not know, your mom got downgraded at the hospital and has been arranged for overtime every day."

"Today, I'm here with your uncle, directly to Donghua Hospital to pick up your mom."

"Mom, what happened?" Zhuang Shilei asked with concern.

Lin Ruoyi softly explained, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"Anlin Hospital is starting a nurse recruitment activity in mid-to-late March, and they need to train the newly hired nurses as well."

"Anlin Hospital discussed with some of us whether we could leave Donghua Hospital early to join their nurse recruitment and training activities."

"I agreed, submitted my resignation to Donghua Hospital a month in advance as per regulations, and then the hospital demoted me."

Lin Ruoyi laughed and said, "Leilei, don't worry, at most it'll just be a tough month."

"Speaking of which, going through it again in a junior nurse position has given me more insights into the training work for new nurses."

Zhuang Shilei angrily said, "Donghua Hospital's way of doing things is really getting worse and worse."

"Mom, you've worked at Donghua Hospital for twenty years at least, even if there's no credit, there's hard work, yet they treat you like this, it's really disheartening!!"

Lin Ruoyi slowly nodded and said, "Leilei, you're right."

"My experience indeed has made some who were already contemplating it more determined to leave..."

Zhuang Shilei and her family left the airport in her uncle's car.

When the vehicle got smoothly onto the airport highway, she took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a familiar number.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Shilei typed a message: "Expert Lin, I've returned from abroad, someday I'll show you my first international trophy..."

At this moment, Lin Jie was in his office, receiving patients who had come from afar.

Bai Qili's brother, Bai Weilong, and the gold jewelry store owner, Huang Xiaochui.

Lin Jie scrutinized Bai Weilong.

A man with ordinary looks, in his thirties, with neatly trimmed short hair.

Besides his somewhat sharp gaze, the only thing that caught Lin Jie's attention was the tattoo on his neck hidden under his collar.

Lin Jie then looked at his hands, the skin was rough, resembling gnarled chicken feet, like a farmer's hands.

He directly grabbed his hand and looked at the wrist, seeing that beneath the healing scar on the skin, there were small lumps rising one after another.

Lin Jie reached out and felt it, clearly sensing the tendons beneath the skin were very messy.

"Expert Lin, what about my brother's hands?" Bai Qili asked softly from the side.

Lin Jie carefully felt the disorder in the tendons at the wrist and replied softly, "After surgery, there will be a significant improvement, but I can't guarantee it will fully recover like normal."

Bai Weilong showed a slight smile and said, "Expert Lin, as long as there's no more pain and I can use chopsticks flexibly with both hands, I'll be satisfied."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I am quite confident I can meet that requirement of yours."

"Expert Lin, what about my hands?" Huang Xiaochui stretched out his hands and waved them in front of Lin Jie, asking somewhat anxiously.

Lin Jie released Bai Weilong's hand and took Huang Xiaochui's slender right hand, gently feeling the wrist scar.

"You've had five tendons in your right hand severed; relatively speaking, your tendon repair surgery was done quite well."

Huang Xiaochui explained, "The surgery was performed by a renowned trauma expert. Post-operative examinations also indicated good recovery."

"But..."

He quickly flexed his fingers, expressing disappointment, "As a goldsmith, I create intricate jewelry. After the surgery recovery, my hands no longer have the same feel, and now I can only craft coarser items."

"Expert Lin, can you improve the condition of my hands?"

Huang Xiaochui asked excitedly, "Besides wanting to make jewelry again, my biggest wish is to take on a disciple and pass on my craftsmanship."

Lin Jie felt the scar on Huang Xiaochui's left hand again and admitted, "Storeowner Huang, your request is different from Bai Weilong's; you're striving for perfection, and the difficulty increases several folds."

"I'll need to wait for the detailed examination results to make a judgment. All I can say for now is, there is hope for improvement."

With that, Lin Jie said to Guo Peng, who was waiting nearby, "Take them for an examination according to the checklist I've provided."

"Yes, teacher!"

Guo Peng responded and kindly said to Bai Qili, Bai Weilong, and Huang Xiaochui, "This way, please..."

At noon, Lin Jie received a call from Li Haoxiang.

He confidently told him that accepting the commission from that socialite to perform cosmetic surgery for others would not lead to legal troubles.
