Masterful Miracle Doctor

The guests invited to witness this event, faced with such a situation, didn't feel it appropriate to stay for the celebration banquet, and one after another, they took their leave.

An Family's father and daughter, along with Lin Jie, being closely tied to the Chen Family, couldn't simply walk away at such a moment; they stayed behind to discuss countermeasures.

"Thank you, Director Liang, for informing us. Goodbye!"

Chen Shi hung up the phone, sighed, and said, "Director Liang from the city bureau mentioned that this is a major drug investigation being secretly conducted by the anti-drug team. He doesn't know the specifics as it's not under his purview."

"Director Liang said that since the public arrests have already taken place, the case details will be announced soon. We should remain calm and wait for another couple of days."

Chen Shi slapped his thigh heavily, frustratedly saying, "Even though there were some hurdles during the negotiation process, I always felt that it was progressing too smoothly, and I had my suspicions."

"I never imagined that the other side was eager to sell off and plan their escape abroad."

Lin Jie comforted him, saying, "Luckily, the perpetrators did not escape, and the money should be recoverable."

Chen Shi said, extremely dejectedly, "So far, we've only paid a deposit of two million."

"According to the agreement, the remaining balance was going to be paid in installments based on the pharmaceutical factory's transfer progress."

He sighed long and deep, saying, "The money is a small matter. After this incident, the pharmaceutical factory is certainly going to be sealed by the police. Who knows when it will be unsealed."

"Finding another suitable pharmaceutical factory is not an easy task."

Chen Fanzhi also cried out miserably, "I'm having a stroke of bad luck. I should find a wise master to check this out!"

Encountering such a situation, any further words of comfort seem empty.

The group sought out some contacts to probe this matter further, and they obtained some additional news.

In addition to Deng Haikuo, his family members, Xingwang Biological Pharmaceutical's R&D staff, and some workers, nearly twenty people were apprehended altogether.

Beyond that, there was no additional information to be found.

Chen Shi had no choice but to return home with Chen Fanzhi, helplessly awaiting further news.

An Family's father and daughter, along with Lin Jie, didn't leave the hotel. Instead, they went to the hotel's buffet restaurant for lunch.

Food is the necessity of life; no matter how big the incident, one has to fill their belly.

Lin Jie and An Kexin carried some food and joined An Weize at a relatively secluded table in the restaurant to dine.

After eating a few bites, An Weize suddenly paused with his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "Ah Jie, Kexin, do you think this pharmaceutical factory could be the trap they set for us?"

"Considering so many people were arrested from the pharmaceutical factory, the whole place seems like a drug manufacturing hub."

"It's likely that even if Chen Fanzhi took over the factory, the drug syndicate might not cease operations."

"The nation's crackdown on drug production and trafficking is extremely severe."

An Weize showed a frightened expression, saying, "If this issue had dragged on for several months, or even a year or two before being discovered, Chen Shi and Chen Fanzhi could hardly clear their names no matter what."

"If we held shares in the pharmaceutical factory, we might also get implicated."

Lin Jie thought briefly, realizing that this indeed seemed quite plausible.

In such a significant drug case, even if cleared of suspicion later, it's likely one would have to spend some time in prison waiting to assist the investigation.

Lin Jie thought aloud, "Let's wait for the investigation results."

"They apprehended so many people this time; Deng Haikuo, the main culprit, didn't escape either."

"If this incident is truly connected to Qiao Hongzhen, Liu Guangxi, and others, perhaps the police can interrogate and find some links..."

After lunch, An Kexin went to Anlin Hospital's temporary office set up at the hotel to handle affairs.

Lin Jie, preparing to head home, was stopped by An Weize, who said, "Ah Jie, let me take you somewhere for tea."

Unable to refuse a father-in-law's invitation, Lin Jie accompanied An Weize in a Bentley sedan, with Qin Gang driving a Phaeton following behind. After more than half an hour, they arrived at the east side of People's Park.

Lin Jie got out of the car and saw a three-story small building nestled among green trees, its exterior walls marked with traces of climbing ivy.

Following An Weize, stepping on the flagstone path into the building, Lin Jie found the interior decor remarkably serene and elegant, with a faint tea fragrance lingering in the air.

In the first-floor hall, among more than a dozen tea tables, only six tables were occupied by guests leisurely enjoying tea.

Clearly a regular visitor, An Weize led Lin Jie directly to an elegant private room on the third floor.

There was someone inside the private room.

In the center of the room was a long redwood tea table, behind which a long-haired, delicate woman in a Ming-Qing style embroidered coat elegantly sat, gracefully pouring tea!

On the tea table was a visually pleasing and exquisite set of purple clay Kung Fu tea utensils, its color flawless, clearly indicating a set of valuable and pricey tea wares.

Without a word, An Weize led Lin Jie to sit cross-legged on a low soft stool in front of the tea table.

The graceful woman raised a small cup of Kung Fu tea, handed it to An Weize, and softly said, "Uncle An, please have some tea!"

Her voice was sweet with the gentle charm of a southern woman.

Such a pleasant voice.

In the moment Lin Jie was in daze, a slender jade hand appeared before him holding a teacup, "Dr. Lin, please have tea!"

He hurriedly accepted the slightly darker-colored tea, briefly felt its warmth, and drank it all in one go.

A warm flow entered his throat from his mouth, instantly spreading a rich aroma between his lips and teeth, making even the tea novice Lin Jie exclaim, "Good tea!"

An Weize seemed pained, saying, "Ah Jie, drinking like this is akin to chewing peonies, what a waste of my Da Hong Pao."

"Learn from this!"

He held a little purple clay cup, lightly sniffed it, and praised, "Top-grade Dahongpao, paired with mountain spring water, meticulously brewed by Tang You, the professional tea maker."

"This brew is bright orangish-yellow, with deep, lingering aroma, uniquely captivating..."

Lin Jie interrupted, "Uncle An, I don't know how to appreciate tea."

"Tea, for me, is just to quench thirst. We're better off tasting wine together."

An Weize shook his head in disappointment, also picked up the cup, drank the tea, and said, "I'll make sure Kexin teaches you how to brew and taste tea step by step when I get back."

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "I've got so much work, where do I find the time to sit calmly and taste tea!"

"Doesn't tasting wine also require calmness and serenity?" An Weize countered.

"That's different. When I drink wine, it's mainly to relax and aid sleep."

Seeing that An Weize was about to argue further, Lin Jie quickly said, "Uncle An, you didn't bring me here just to accompany you in tasting tea, did you?"

"If it's only about tasting, you should have called Kexin or Kemeng over; they'd be better company than me."

An Weize snorted lightly and said, "There is a reason I called you over."

He turned to look at Tang You in front of him and said kindly, "Tang You, stand up and let Lin Jie have a look at your leg!"

Tang You nodded, propped herself on the tea table to stand up, then gently lifted the long skirt to reveal her left calf.

Lin Jie immediately noticed that her left calf was severely deformed, bending outward by about forty degrees.

Due to supporting herself with the inside of her foot for a long time, her left foot was almost at a ninety-degree angle with her ankle, and the foot itself was severely deformed—really unsightly.

"Lin Jie, Tang You's left leg has been this way since birth."

An Weize explained, "Over the years, she's consulted at several orthopedic and cosmetic surgery hospitals."

"Because it involves the ankle joint, they say some cosmetic procedures can be done, but making it like a normal person's leg is basically impossible."

"Lin Jie, take a look!"

Lin Jie scrutinized Tang You's left calf again, then moved his gaze up to her face, which was slightly tense, with her lips pressed together, and said, "Take a few steps, let me have a look!"

Tang You lightly hummed, raised her skirt with one hand, and limped around the elegant room.

The degree of limping was quite severe.

When standing on the right foot, her height was 1.6 meters, but when switching to the left foot, her height suddenly dropped to less than 1.4 meters.

After walking back and forth twice, Lin Jie instructed, "Come over to me!"

Tang You limped over to Lin Jie.

Lin Jie extended his hand and touched her calves, feeling both her left and right ones, occasionally squeezing them.

He discovered that the fibula and tibia on her deformed left calf were noticeably thicker than those of her right calf, and he felt several bone joints, indicating previous injuries or fractures.

Lin Jie asked Tang You to lift her left foot, and he began to massage it.

The instep was like the sole, already developing a layer of thick calluses!

As expected, the ankle joint was severely deformed, and the bones in her left foot were severely deformed as well...

With Lin Jie's massaging, a three-dimensional model of Tang You's deformed foot bone gradually formed in Lin Jie's mind...

"Hmm..."

A suppressed moan suddenly sounded beside Lin Jie.

At the same time, Tang You, standing in front of him, suddenly went limp, fell forward, and landed on the tea table.

The teapot was knocked over, soaking Tang You's blouse with tea.

Confused, Lin Jie hurriedly stood up, intending to help Tang You up, but found her neck had turned red, her face even redder, seemingly ready to drip blood.

Tang You, propping herself on the tea table, got up in a panic, covered her face with both hands, and ran away.

Though she walked with difficulty, she ran pretty fast, and was out of the room in a breath.

An Weize quickly turned his head, only catching a glimpse of Tang You's skirt flaring out as she left the room, utterly puzzled, and asked, "Lin Jie, what happened?"

Recalling Tang You's moan and her unusual facial expression, Lin Jie couldn't help smiling and said, "Tang You's foot turns out to be her sensitive spot."

An Weize understood upon hearing this, his face turned stern, and he reproached, "Lin Jie, be serious and respectful."

"Tang You is only twenty-two, a shy and respectable girl who hasn't even had a boyfriend yet."

Then, he noticed the tea covering the table and said, with intense piety, "Oh dear, my teapot of Dahongpao..."

"Weize, what happened?"

"What's up with Youyou?"

Lin Jie turned toward the tender and pleasant voice and saw a young married woman entering, with her hair in a bun, dressed in a simple-colored cheongsam, her figure petite and alluring.

"Ayun, Tang You is fine, you don't need to worry!" An Weize responded naturally.

Weize and Ayun!

Those names seem wrong; something's going on!

Lin Jie couldn't help but widen his eyes, glancing between An Weize and the young married woman's face.
