Today was Friday, which was also a trial day for the infrasound stimulation therapy.

Fortunately, the work had progressed to a point where it no longer demanded much of Yan Feifan’s brainpower, aside from taking up his time.

It took him nearly two hours to complete the infrasound resonance stimulation for four patients in deep comas.

Afterward, Yan Feifan took a car back to Zuimo Court.

However, his luck wasn’t great today. Not long after leaving the Affiliated Hospital, while waiting at a red light at the first intersection, the rear of his car was hit by a BMW.

The impact wasn’t too severe. Yan Feifan, sitting in the back seat, was only jolted forward slightly.

He was about to get out to see what had happened but was stopped by Duan Yu, who was driving.

Duan Yu pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out to check on the situation.

The BMW that had rear-ended them also pulled over. A tall, long-legged, fashionable woman with long, straight, light-red hair and wearing a hip-hugging skirt got out of the car.

Through the car window, Yan Feifan saw that the woman’s attitude was decent enough. She kept clasping her hands and bowing slightly to Duan Yu.

After a short while, Duan Yu and the fashionable woman exchanged contact information, and she returned to the car.

“There’s a small dent on the rear bumper, about four or five centimeters in diameter, and a piece of paint got knocked off.”

Duan Yu explained the damage as she started the car again.

Once the car was back in the lane, Duan Yu suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Yan, I seriously suspect that car hit us on purpose. The goal was likely to meet you.”

Yan Feifan was slightly taken aback. He questioned, “Rear-end us on purpose, just to meet me?”

Duan Yu analyzed, “This tactic of ‘meeting’ someone by rear-ending them isn’t uncommon, whether it’s a man pursuing a woman or a woman pursuing a man.”

“I also noticed that while she was talking to me, her eyes kept darting toward the inside of the car.”

Pausing for a moment, Duan Yu added her speculation, “Of course, her reason for meeting you probably isn’t to pursue you romantically. It’s more likely she wants to ask you for surgery or a consultation.”

“Mr. Yan, do you need me to investigate further?”

Yan Feifan chuckled and said, “Duan Yu, don’t let your professional paranoia get the best of you, seeing everyone as a suspect.”

“For now, let’s just treat it as a normal rear-end collision.”

“If she really does have an ulterior motive, there will probably be another chance to meet. We’ll deal with it then.”

Duan Yu pouted and said, “Mr. Yan, you’re the boss, so you call the shots. But I trust my judgment. I’m not wrong.”

Hearing her say that, Yan Feifan’s interest was suddenly piqued.

“Duan Yu, since you’re so sure she did it on purpose, how about we make a bet?”

“Sure, no problem!”

Duan Yu agreed readily. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Let’s bet a nice meal.”

“Mo Xiaolei found a pretty good restaurant. If I lose, I’ll treat you and Dr. Yu to a big meal there.”

“If you lose, you can just treat me to any meal.”

Yan Feifan smiled. “Alright, it’s a deal.”

Duan Yu then asked, “Mr. Yan, if she really does have an ulterior motive and came to ask you for a consultation or surgery…”

“Will you agree to it?”

Yan Feifan replied casually, “It depends on the specific situation. It would depend on who she’s asking for and what kind of medical condition it is.”

“Although I don’t like people using such dangerous methods to achieve their personal goals, I do admire this proactive spirit of creating opportunities where there are none.”

Yan Feifan then mused with some emotion, ‘The channels for social mobility are becoming more and more rigid these days. Without connections or a network, if you want to get ahead and achieve your goals, you have to do something out of the ordinary.’

At this point, Yan Feifan realized something else.

‘For example, most of the patients I take on are either arranged for me by others or referred by someone.’

‘It’s really not that easy for an ordinary patient to get to me. Ugh.’

Yan Feifan thought about the current situation at the hospital.

For an ordinary patient to see a specialist, the only viable way seemed to be lining up at the outpatient department to get an appointment slot.

But Yan Feifan currently didn’t have the time or energy to hold office hours in the outpatient clinic…

‘Social stratification, class… they still exist objectively.’

Yan Feifan sighed to himself. He thought about how he was increasingly bound by various relationships in society. However, when it came to things like the tumor puncture and injection surgery, the dual-surgeon heart transplant method, and the infrasound awakening research, he had done his best to promote and popularize the results.

Thinking about how more and more ordinary patients would benefit from his research in the near future, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but feel a little proud of himself.

‘It’s true that my motives aren’t entirely pure, as there are financial drivers, but at least I’ve benefited a great number of patients…’

Feeling that his moral standing had been elevated quite a bit, Yan Feifan returned to his apartment, only to find that besides Yu Suye, his uncle, Shu Lei, was also there.

Seeing his uncle was there by himself, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, you’re not at the restaurant looking after business, and you’re not back at the mountain villa with your wife…”

He hadn’t even finished his sentence before his uncle grabbed him.

“Feifan, let’s go to your room. I need to talk to you about something.”

Yan Feifan was pulled into his own bedroom by his uncle, who then clicked the door locked. With a troubled expression, his uncle started scratching his head and pacing around the room.

After waiting for a moment without his uncle saying a word, Yan Feifan, sitting on the bed, rolled his eyes and urged, “Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it.”

“It’s after seven. I’m hungry and I need to eat dinner!”

Shu Lei finally stopped his pacing. Meeting Yan Feifan’s gaze, he said with a pained expression, “Feifan, I might have a four-year-old son overseas.”

“What? A son?” Yan Feifan shot up from his seat in shock.

Shu Lei nodded. “A few years ago, I met a Chinese-Malaysian girl at a port in Malaysia.”

“We were together for a while!”

“Today, a sailor colleague of mine suddenly sent me a photo. It’s of that girl, and she has a son who looks about three or four.”

As he spoke, Shu Lei took out his phone and showed the photo to Yan Feifan.

“Feifan, take a look. Doesn’t this boy look a lot like me? Like he was cast from the same mold?”

The photo showed a pretty girl in her mid-twenties holding a little boy.

Yan Feifan glanced at the little boy in the photo, then back at his uncle. frⅇe

A nephew often resembles his maternal uncle, and indeed, Yan Feifan himself bore a forty to fifty percent resemblance to Shu Lei.

However, Shu Lei was more robust, with a squarer face.

The little boy in the photo, with his oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and high-bridged nose, looked more like a carbon copy of Yan Feifan as a child.

Yan Feifan analyzed objectively, “Several of the dominant genetic traits in his facial features are consistent.”

“However, that doesn’t confirm he’s your son. You’ll need a DNA test for that.”

“Uncle, has the woman contacted you?”

Shu Lei shook his head. “No. She just asked my sailor colleague about how I was doing.”

“Feifan, I really screwed up back then.”

As he said this, he suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a hard slap across the face. A red, five-fingered handprint immediately appeared on his right cheek.

Yan Feifan quickly tried to talk him down. “Uncle, slapping yourself won’t solve anything.”

“Besides, how are you going to explain that handprint to Aunt when you go home?”

Realization dawned on Shu Lei, and his face filled with renewed panic.

“Feifan, I promised your aunt that nothing like this would ever happen.”

“But now, this melodramatic soap opera plot has just appeared out of nowhere.”

“Feifan, what should I do?”

Yan Feifan mulled it over for a moment, then said, “Uncle, don’t panic. First, you need to confirm if that’s your child or not.”

“If it is your child, you’ll then need to see what the mother’s intentions are.”

“Since this has come to light, you just have to face it.”

“As for Aunt, my advice is not to hide it from her.”

“With this kind of thing, the more you try to hide it, the more likely it is to cause problems…”

As he said this, Yan Feifan suddenly realized something was wrong, that he had overlooked something.

“Uncle, let me see that photo again.”

He took the phone from his uncle’s hand and zoomed in on the picture of the little boy.

Yan Feifan could faintly make out that the little boy was wearing leg braces…
