Masterful Miracle Doctor

Lin Jie and An Kexin ran around the bamboo grove and saw ahead on a patch of grass, a filthy, yellowish wild dog violently tearing at a child.

Even more horrifying was that as the wild dog's sharp teeth ripped into the child, blood was splattering everywhere.

Lin Jie noticed it was a large dog.

Its shoulder height was over seventy centimeters, and it belonged to the very robust type in terms of build.

Two men who arrived first after hearing the commotion had no weapons in hand and did not dare to approach. They just stood nearby shouting loudly, hoping to scare off this mad dog that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere with their voices.

Blood-stained sharp teeth, a frightening physique, and thick forelimbs.

Seeing such a strong wild dog, even Lin Jie felt a twinge of fear, instinctively slowing his steps, looking around to see if he could find a stone or a wooden stick as a weapon.

However, Qin Gang, who was running at the front, did not stop but instead sped up, rushing towards the wild dog.

The wild dog seemed to sense the threat. It stopped biting the child, growled lowly, and lunged straight at Qin Gang.

Qin Gang suddenly halted, sidestepped, dodged the mad dog's lunge, and lifted his left elbow to deliver a fierce blow to the dog's waist!

The wild dog was hit directly in the waist, flying three or four meters away, yelping as it tumbled on the ground.

Before the wild dog could get back up, Qin Gang, who had caught up, kicked the wild dog hard in the stomach.

This kick came swift and fierce, with Qin Gang clearly using all his strength.

The wild dog was kicked another three or four meters, rolling several meters away on the ground before stopping.

At this point, the wild dog's howls turned into whimpers.

With every whimper, large foamy blood clots gushed from its mouth, indicating that its internal organs were severely damaged and it was on the verge of death.

Qin Gang's actions were lightning fast, completed in the blink of an eye.

However, Lin Jie had no time to praise Qin Gang's heroics.

He hurried over to the mass of flesh that was all bloodied and still twitching, with no cries left.

This was a little boy about one year old.

His condition was very bad.

He had multiple bite wounds on his body, with the most serious injuries being twofold. One was his right thigh, where a large chunk of flesh had been bitten off, exposing the bone, and the blood was flowing nonstop. The other was his belly, which had been torn open, exposing his intestines directly!

In addition, there were several bite marks deep enough to reveal bone on the boy's left face, left shoulder, and other areas.

Lin Jie took several hair ties from some concerned women nearby and used them to tighten the arteries, performing emergency blood-stopping measures on the boy's wounds.

Then he took off his sports jacket, wrapped the boy in it, and shouted, "Where are the child's parents?"

A woman in her twenties, supported to stand up, cried out with a trembling voice, "Expert Lin, save my son, save my son, wa... wa..."

Looking at this woman who was so weak she could hardly stand and crying uncontrollably, Lin Jie realized he recognized her.

She was Guan Xiaoyue, a resident of Xiangtai Apartment, who once came to him in the middle of the night with her son for treatment.

Lin Jie clearly remembered.

That night, her son had intussusception.

That night's child should be this ill-fated little guy in his arms now.

Lin Jie shouted, "Stop crying, let's go, head to Binhai Park Hospital together!"

Someone in the crowd watching shouted, "An ambulance has already been called."

Lin Jie shouted, "There's no time, we need to get to the nearest hospital for emergency surgery. Who has a car nearby?"

"Motorcycles, electric bikes, anything will do!"

With those words, three or four people in the crowd immediately stepped forward.

Lin Jie said, "Thank you, thank you all, please take us to Binhai Park Hospital right away!"

At this moment, Qin Gang reached out and took the boy from Lin Jie's arms, saying solemnly, "I'll carry the boy to the hospital, Lin Jie, you follow behind. It's safer this way."

Lin Jie didn't argue with him and told An Kexin, who was beside him, "Don't follow us. First, take Lele home, and then come to the park hospital to find me..."

Binhai Park Hospital is a small community hospital, only two or three kilometers from Binhai Park.

Several motorcycles, carrying Qin Gang with the boy, Lin Jie, Guan Xiaoyue, and others, arrived at the hospital within a minute or two.

Lin Jie's face was quite influential.

After identifying himself, the on-duty doctor in the emergency room immediately vacated an operating room and prepared plasma, vaccines, various medications, and surgical instruments as per Lin Jie's instructions...

Nearly two hours later, Lin Jie emerged from the operating room after the surgery.

He saw Guan Xiaoyue, waiting anxiously outside, her face full of worry, eyes red and swollen, and the boy's father, Jiang Liangyu, who was more than twenty years older than Guan Xiaoyue.

Also present were An Kexin, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and others.

Jiang Liangyu hurried over, asking urgently, "Expert Lin, how is my son?"

Lin Jie spoke softly, "The surgery went relatively well. His life shouldn't be in danger."

"However, the muscle loss in the boy's right thigh is severe and will have a considerable impact on the right leg's motor function."

"Also, the boy's face and body will have noticeable scars."

The worried Guan Xiaoyue quickly asked, "Expert Lin, can all these be treated?"

"Can they, Expert Lin?"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "There are some treatment methods."

"However, what the child needs first is recovery, other treatments can wait for a moment."

"Also, transfer the child to a larger hospital first. The conditions here are somewhat poor, and the treatment facilities are basic."

Jiang Liangyu nodded and said, "I'll handle the transfer shortly."

"Expert Lin, A-yue has already told me everything about the situation."

He said gratefully, "This time, it's fortunate that you and Qin Gang were here, otherwise the consequences would have been really unimaginable..."

Lin Jie's sportswear was stained with a lot of blood, and it was no longer wearable.

Fortunately, An Kexin was quite considerate and brought him a set of clothes.

Lin Jie changed his clothes, handled some procedures related to the surgery, and left Binhai Park Hospital with his family, Qin Gang, and others.

They didn't go home, but went to a nearby breakfast shop and sat down together for breakfast.

Lin Jie first drank a bowl of egg soup to fill his stomach a bit and asked, "Do you know what's up with that stray dog?"

"Let me say, let me say!"

Lin Miao quickly said, "Brother, you have no idea, outside the operating room, Guan Xiaoyue kept talking about this matter repeatedly, and I remembered it all."

"It was like this..."

Lin Miao mimicked Guan Xiaoyue's tone and carefully recounted the story she had heard.

It turned out that Guan Xiaoyue's son wakes up early every day and can't stay in bed, crying and shouting to go out to play.

With no other option, Guan Xiaoyue would push him around the park in a stroller aimlessly.

This had already become a habit.

This morning, Guan Xiaoyue once again brought her son in the stroller to the park.

While she was chatting with several other mothers who also brought their children, that stray dog suddenly sprang out from the bamboo forest behind them, grabbed her son in the stroller with its mouth, dragged him out, and started biting wildly.

Hearing this, Lin Jie frowned and said somewhat puzzled, "Even a rabid dog wouldn't attack a group of people for no reason, especially a one-year-old child who poses no threat."

"Did Guan Xiaoyue really say that after the stray dog rushed out, it directly bit her son?"

An Kexin opened her mouth and said, "Yes, that's exactly what she said, and not just once."

"She said the dog sprang out from the bamboo forest, and because it was close and the dog was fast, she didn't have time to react, and the child was already bitten and dragged out of the stroller..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao thoughtfully said, "She mentioned this repeatedly, clearly to tell Jiang Liangyu that it was not her fault."

She speculated again, "Do you think it could be like this? Guan Xiaoyue got so caught up chatting with the other moms and forgot about the kid."

"Inadvertence might have given the stray dog a chance?"

An Kexin shook her head and said, "Probably not. After all, she's the child's mother, so such a neglect is unlikely."

"And according to her, she wasn't the only one at the scene. If she blatantly lied, it would be easy to expose, and the consequences would be predictable."

Qin Gang, who had been silently eating, suddenly spoke, "This dog wasn't wearing a collar, and its fur was filthy, clearly a stray dog."

"The stray dog was very sturdy and large, weighing at least sixty to seventy pounds."

"I find it strange that such a big dog wasn't killed and sold to a restaurant; it should at least be worth a few hundred yuan."

Lin Jie thought so too!

Many Chinese people eat dog meat, and dog meat in restaurants isn't cheap.

Online news has reported many dog-theft cases.

Such a big dog escaping capture like this is indeed strange.

Growing more suspicious, Lin Jie borrowed his phone from Qin Gang, found Kong Mingqing's number, and dialed it.

As soon as the call connected, before he could speak, Kong Mingqing's voice came through, "Lin Jie, what's up?"

"But let me remind you first, don't ask about Guan Muhua's matter. Due to work discipline, even if you ask, I can't tell you!"

Lin Jie was taken aback.

If you don't want me to ask, why bring it up? Isn't this just piquing my curiosity?

He immediately understood that as an old detective, Kong Mingqing was subtly hinting at him.

He asked in a deep voice, "Brother Kong, is it something serious?"

"Yes, a very serious case."

Kong Mingqing said softly, "I can only tell you that it doesn't concern you, so you don't need to worry."

"But for now, don't have much contact with Guan Muhua until things settle."

Lin Jie responded with an "oh," temporarily putting the matter aside, and said, "Brother Kong, I called you because of another matter."

He then told him about the stray dog biting the child today and his suspicions.

Then he asked, "Brother Kong, you're a detective, more perceptive than us. Do you think this was an accident or a conspiracy?"

Kong Mingqing chuckled on the phone and said, "Without investigation, there's no right to speak."

"I'll keep this in mind. It'll require some investigation to find out whether it's an accident or a conspiracy."
