Masterful Miracle Doctor

After being firmly refused by Lin Jie, the Ma family's elderly woman remained silent for the next two days.

Lin Jie, however, felt somewhat regretful.

He thought he should have refused a bit more tactfully at the time. Now, being so blunt, even if the high reward is not forfeited, it will probably be significantly reduced.

Regarding Wei Zhifeng's matter, not a single rumor spread out.

Those involved, like Lin Jie, are people of quality and high moral character, so they naturally wouldn't gossip about Wei Zhifeng. As long as he doesn't act up, this matter will probably remain buried in the hearts of these few people.

On Thursday morning, Lin Jie received two pieces of good news in succession, which brightened his mood considerably.

The first piece of good news was that the issue with the monkey, Zhu Peng, finally had a resolution.

Kong Mingqing informed him over the phone that because Du Siyuan no longer pursued Zhu Peng's responsibility and even spoke on his behalf, after comprehensive consideration by the branch leadership, it was decided that Zhu Peng would be subject to a fifteen-day public security detention and a five-thousand administrative penalty.

Since Zhu Peng had already been criminally detained for over twenty days, deducting the fifteen-day public security detention, Zhu Peng could go home today.

Not only that, but Zhu Peng could also apply for state compensation for the extra days of detention, equivalent to reducing the fines a bit.

Lin Jie immediately conveyed this news to Su Xiaohui, asking her to go to the detention center to pick him up.

The second piece of good news was the confirmation of the publication of classroom teaching materials.

A set of ten volumes was to be published and distributed by Binhai University Press, with an initial print run tentatively set at three thousand sets.

The first to fifth volumes would be printed first, and the latter five volumes would be published around the end of the year.

Fifty percent of the publishing funds come from special funding at Xiang Rong's unit, and the other half from Binhai University Medical School's publishing assistance funds, so Lin Jie doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoxiao also made an agreement with Binhai University Medical School on Lin Jie's behalf.

If the books sell well and there is profit, the entire profit will be donated to the Medical School as scholarships for the students.

Lin Jie hung up Zhang Xiaoxiao's call and said to Zhao Fang in front of him, along with the cardiothoracic deputy director assisting her, Pang Leshan: "I hope what you have to tell me is also good news."

"Please tell me about the progress of your research topic."

Zhao Fang chuckled and said, "Of course, it's good news, teacher, come with us."

Lin Jie followed the two to the front of a sterile laboratory in the hospital. Through the transparent partition window, they could see a chubby man lying on the bed inside, connected to a ventilator and several monitoring devices.

"Who is this?" Lin Jie inquired softly.

Pang Leshan explained: "Expert Lin, this is our experimental subject."

"This patient suffered brain death due to an accident, and after discussions, his family agreed to donate his body."

"Because he is a severe hepatitis patient, he is unsuitable for organ donation and transplantation."

"I also found that he had a history of mild myocardial infarction, making him an excellent subject for our research topic."

"Zhao Fang and I applied to the hospital to first conduct a microvascular replacement and flushing experiment on his heart."

"Fortunately, the hospital approved our request."

Pang Leshan's words were understated, but he knew at the time not less than twenty people, mostly department heads and professors from the Medical College, jointly submitted the request to the hospital.

The body, being brain-dead but with all organs still functioning normally, was a rare medical experiment specimen.

Pang Leshan was also well aware that their application's swift approval was due to the backing of Lin Jie.

"Teacher, Dr. Pang performed the surgery, and five days ago, we conducted an arteriovenous exchange surgery on the experimental subject's heart."

"After detailed observation over these five days…"

Zhao Fang's face flushed with excitement as she said: "The microvascular congestion in the subject's heart has shown concrete improvement. Moreover, the heart's beating is stable, and no abnormal changes have been detected."

"Teacher, our simulated hypothesis has all been validated."

Lin Jie nodded happily and advised: "Make sure to record the experimental data comprehensively and accurately. Also, don't just focus on the heart, but also keep an eye on whether any sudden changes occur in other visceral organs."

"Human organs are extraordinarily complex, and there might be unpredictable chain reactions akin to a butterfly effect."

Pang Leshan replied solemnly: "Expert Lin, your advice is correct. We will pay attention to that."

Lin Jie continued: "Keep close monitoring. Ten days' worth of experimental data could support an academic paper."

"You can each start preparing an article now, but remember, the main arguments should not be identical."

"When the time comes, if they are well written, I can recommend them for publication in 'Clinical Medicine'."

Pang Leshan understood that this was one of the benefits Lin Jie was offering.

As one of the core journals in China's medical field, 'Clinical Medicine' is highly esteemed in the industry.

Publishing an academic paper above can provide significant advantages in future evaluations for professional titles and various honor competitions.

Of course, it pales in comparison to publishing a paper in "Nature."

But Pang Leshan knows his own abilities, and if his paper can appear in "Clinical Medicine," he will be more than satisfied.

He expressed, "Thank you, Expert Lin. I will certainly prepare this research paper carefully and diligently assist Zhao Fang in completing the subsequent experimental research."

Lin Jie also pointed out some medical issues to Pang Leshan, and it wasn't until almost 11:30 in the morning that he left the hospital with Zhao Fang.

He treated Zhao Fang and Qin Gang to lunch, rushed to Binhai University, and only had time to rest for fifteen minutes before he had to hurry to the small auditorium to begin the afternoon's teaching...

In the evening, during a break while having one-on-one conversations with students, Lin Jie met with Monkey and Su Xiaohui, who had come especially to express their gratitude.

Seeing Monkey with new shoes, new clothes, and a new hairstyle, Lin Jie chuckled and asked, "Is everything new inside and out?"

Monkey glanced at Su Xiaohui beside him, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Everything except me is new."

"If I could change people, I would have done it a long time ago," Su Xiaohui snorted.

Monkey touched his short buzz cut, then dropped his hand, straightened his body, and seriously said, "Dr. Lin, my Xiaohui's hand and arm were healed by you, and this time you also saved me."

"Great kindness needs no thanks. In the future, if you need anything, just let us know."

Though he said this, Lin Jie could still see the worry in Monkey's brow.

Understanding his concerns, Lin Jie comforted him, "I can tell you frankly, helping you out this time didn't take much effort. It's true, you don't need to keep it on your mind."

Su Xiaohui earnestly said, "Dr. Lin, maybe for you, it's just a matter of saying a word, but for us, it genuinely spared us from one or two years of imprisonment."

"So, regardless of how much you gave, for my brother and me, it's a great kindness."

These words made Lin Jie feel at ease and he laughed, "Let's not talk about kindness or anything, Monkey. I understand your concern; I won't take advantage of favors to make you do anything that would betray Dahei or the Luo Family."

"Although my relationship with the An Family is inseparable, I only handle medical and hospital-related matters that involve treating and saving people. I'm not involved in business competition."

These words alleviated much of the concern on Monkey's face, and he earnestly said, "Dr. Lin, even though Brother Dahei instructed us to keep our distance from you, but..."

"We, and Brother Dahei, all have a bottom line in our hearts."

"When using normal competitive means against the An Family, we will absolutely comply..."

He said solemnly, "However, if excessive measures are used against you, Dr. Lin, Brother Dahei wouldn't agree, and this is an unspoken bottom line among us."

Lin Jie felt much comforted in his heart, chuckled, and said, "Now that you're out, Monkey, do you have any plans? Continue with the racetrack?"

Monkey laughed bitterly, "The racetrack is already on the police's radar, and now can only run normal karting and beach buggy entertainment projects, which doesn't support many people."

"After I got out, I talked with Brother Dahei."

"He said, given my situation, the suitable positions in the Luo Family's company are driver or security guard roles."

"These kinds of jobs can support me alone, but now I have to think about my child's future..."

Saying this, Monkey gazed lovingly at Su Xiaohui beside him, and continued, "So I'm thinking of opening a repair shop."

Lin Jie agreed, "Your skills in car repair and modification are excellent. Opening a repair company specializing in mid-to-high-end vehicles will definitely be profitable."

Monkey rubbed his hands and said, "Focusing on mid-to-high-end vehicles requires a large initial investment, so I can only start with a small individual repair point."

Lin Jie's mind was sparked, and he said, "Monkey, don't worry about the large investment; I can invest in it."

"My money is all in the bank, devaluing rapidly. It's better to invest it. Your car repair skills are top-notch; investing in you certainly won't be a loss."

"Monkey, what do you think?"

"This..."

Monkey hesitated a bit, not knowing how to reply.

Su Xiaohui snorted and said, "Brother, I know what you're worried about."

"The problem is, since Dr. Lin already got you out, it's an unclear situation, so you might as well accept Dr. Lin's investment."

"We're living for ourselves now, and we haven't done anything we regret, so why care what others think?"

Lin Jie then empathized, "This is not a small matter, Monkey, you don't have to rush to answer."

"Go home and rest for a few days. During this time, Su Xiaohui has been worried about you and needs you to comfort her well..."

It was close to midnight when Lin Jie finally returned home.

Unexpectedly, Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao were still awake.

Lin Miao said with a face of grievance, "Brother, when you see An Kemeng, you must hit her, beat her to death, and I won't stop you."
