Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1037 - 1001: Speechless

The largest banquet hall at Binhai Grand Hotel was brightly lit.Many prominent figures in Binhai City gathered here, three in a group, five in a cluster, chatting happily. Neatly dressed waiters traversed through the crowd with wine.

This was a reception hosted by Wantong Group.

This morning, the above-ground building of Kangning Hospital was completely demolished by explosives.

This marked the official commencement of large-scale construction of the Wantong World Trade Center, invested and built by Wantong Group.

Luo Wantong, with a face full of glowing color, came forward to a few gathered individuals with a glass of wine.

After a few brief pleasantries, he smiled at a chubby middle-aged man: "President Su, why didn't you bring your son out for some fun?"

President Su's face showed a hint of unease and said, "That rascal has been ordered to stay home and reflect on his mistakes. How could I bring him out?"

Luo Wantong laughed heartily and said, "If we unfold that event, it's really nothing at all. Who hasn't been reckless and absurd in their youth?"

He sympathetically remarked, "In my opinion, that incident was just a small misunderstanding."

Luo Wantong's words immediately received agreement and endorsement from the others, who chimed in: "A trivial matter, once explained, an apology and it's over."

"Indeed, just a misunderstanding! Who would have thought that someone would be so particular about it, making it a big deal, sigh..."

"In such club settings, mistaking a girl for that type of worker is a normal thing."

"Expert Lin really made a mountain out of a molehill."

Someone spoke with sarcasm: "Though we respectfully call him Expert Lin, if you think about his background, he's only a junior high school graduate."

"Fatherless and motherless, it's only by virtue of his medical expertise that he was exceptionally admitted as a graduate student at Binhai University."

"Other than medical skills, Expert Lin's levels in other aspects like education and cultivation are quite evident."

"I say, his status was suddenly elevated, and like a nouveau riche, he's infinitely arrogant and simultaneously, extremely sensitive, which is why he becomes hysterical and reacts neurotically when slightly offended."

"President Ling, please watch your words!"

President Su solemnly warned the long-faced man criticizing Lin Jie: "Purely speaking of this matter, Expert Lin's actions were not mistaken; rather it's our lack of family education that's at fault, children making mistakes first."

"Regarding other aspects of Expert Lin..."

President Su swept his eyes over the few before him, speaking in a deep voice: "His deeds are extensively reported online, and I'm sure you've all heard."

"This is sufficient proof that Expert Lin is a person with a doctor's heart and noble character. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been elected as one of the top ten youths by a high vote."

The man referred to as President Ling disdainfully responded: "Just a product of publicity packaging, it's nothing more than that."

"Who knows about the actual situation anyway."

President Su furrowed his brow and said: "The issue is whether it's true or not, President Ling, you don't know either. You're merely speaking recklessly based on your own guesses..."

"President Su, President Ling, calm down!"

Luo Wantong interjected with a persuading tone, then continued: "Whatever the truth may be, we won't delve into it now."

"However..."

He handed his empty wine glass to the waiter and took another one, saying: "It's been a month and a half since that sensational conjoined twins separation surgery, hasn't it?"

"Has anyone heard what other surgeries Dr. Lin has performed since then?"

Luo Wantong pointedly remarked: "I heard several presidents earnestly invited him to treat their relatives or friends, but he refused them all."

President Ling coldly snorted: "I invited him once, only to be dismissed with 'busy schedule, no time'."

He sarcastically said: "President Su, this renowned Expert Lin is quite arrogant, unusually difficult to invite."

"You're defending him so vigorously, hoping that when you need him, it'll go smoothly."

As President Su was about to retort, President Ling loudly announced: "Everyone, everyone, we revere and respect skillful doctors because when we need medical treatment in the future, they can intervene."

"If a renowned doctor, despite his high medical skills, barely performs any surgeries throughout the year..."

"In critical moments, it's likely hopeless to rely on him..."

"Is there still a need to uphold and respect such a renowned doctor..."

"This statement by President Ling... is somewhat skewed indeed!"

Upon hearing someone interrupt President Ling, Luo Wantong turned and saw a tall man approaching.

He raised his glass towards the newcomer and smiled: "Dean Fang, hello!"

"President Luo, hello!"

Fang Lianggong stepped into the conversation circle, nodded at each person, and then slowly said: "Let me first present some data!"

"Since Expert Lin's cranial separation surgery on the conjoined twins, excluding the week he spent in Germany, up until now, the surgeries he's performed at the Affiliated Hospital total..."

"Eighteen surgeries."

Fang Lianggong gently snorted: "Just because you're unaware doesn't mean Expert Lin's been idle."

"These surgeries have corresponding records at the Affiliated Hospital; if you don't believe it, you can check."

President Ling's face darkened, reluctantly responding: "Dean Fang's words, I naturally believe."

"Everyone, it seems I've misunderstood; I thought all the surgeries Dr. Lin took on were sensational major operations."

Fang Lianggong gave him a long look and continued, "Expert Lin's value isn't just in performing high-profile, difficult surgeries himself."

He reminded, "Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you don't know this."

"Every surgery Expert Lin performs as the lead is open for observation and learning by others. Moreover, he is very willing to answer and guide others through their questions."

"This open-handed attitude is truly commendable."

"At least hundreds of doctors have observed Expert Lin's surgeries or consulted him personally, benefiting greatly."

"I myself have consulted Expert Lin twice personally."

"Expert Lin's guidance helped me successfully complete two very complex orthopedic surgeries."

Fang Lianggong said earnestly, "By learning from Expert Lin and consulting him, many of us have broken through long-standing bottlenecks and ceilings, finding possibilities for further progress."

He looked sharply at President Ling, advising, "In our medical circle, Expert Lin holds a very prestigious position. It's best to watch your words and actions if you ever want proper medical care from us doctors in the future."

President Ling's face was dark as he coldly said, "Dean Fang, no need to speak so threateningly. Can he really cover the skies with one hand? Even if I can't get treated domestically, surely I can go abroad, right?"

"I really don't lack the money to seek medical treatment abroad."

Fang Lianggong chuckled, saying, "Of course I know, President Ling, you are in big business, and money is abundant for you."

"However, life, we only have one, and no amount of money can buy it."

"But, Expert Lin possesses the ability to defy death."

Fang Lianggong said mysteriously, "Perhaps some have heard of the heavily guarded small building at the Affiliated Hospital?"

His words immediately piqued more curiosity and concern among the people.

Someone impatiently asked, "Dean Fang, your daughter is a student of Expert Lin, she must have entered that heavily guarded small building, right?"

"Who exactly is living in there?"

"As for who exactly is staying there, it's not convenient for me to say."

Fang Lianggong took a sip of wine and continued, "However, what I can tell you is that the patients inside are closely related to the research project Expert Lin is working on."

"Expert Lin's project is a key national health commission and military-supported research project."

"This project is so heavily emphasized because Expert Lin found a way to significantly extend the lives of cancer patients..."

Lin Jie heard familiar footsteps, looked up, and saw An Kexin walking over with a cup of milk.

He took the milk, sipped it, and asked, "Is Kemeng comforted now?"

An Kexin sighed softly, saying, "More or less, she's not as angry and sad."

She complained, "Father really... He probably just got too excited upon getting the news and blurted it out without considering my and Kemeng's feelings."

Lin Jie said quietly, "Uncle An can be understood; having a child later in life and knowing he might be able to see the child grow up, it's understandable to get a bit carried away in excitement."

"Kexin, from what you're saying, you're not feeling very well either?"

An Kexin didn't hide it, nodded, and said, "Although I expected it, hearing the news still made me uncomfortable."

She angrily added, "Mainly, I dislike father's attitude."

"Ajie, at that time, he couldn't hide his joy at all, really, he didn't know how to restrain himself."

Lin Jie pinched her cheek, smiled, and said, "Don't hold grudges."

"Think about it, if he were truly over the moon, he wouldn't have waited till after dinner to mention it while we were drinking tea."

"Ah, enough about this, it's annoying!"

An Kexin looked at a pile of messy medical examination files on the desk and asked, "Tomorrow it's just about implanting that line in the patient to inject inducer and inhibitor at set times, right?"

"Does it require so much preparation?"

Lin Jie rubbed his brow, smiled wryly, and said, "If it were as simple as you say, that would be great."

"This step is the most crucial in the entire experimental therapy."

He picked up a CT scan of a stomach tumor and explained, "For instance, with stomach cancer..."

Lin Jie gestured at the CT scan and introduced, "Is the tumor in the mucosa, or the stomach muscle layer? Is it in the pyloric region, or the lesser curvature of the stomach?"

"The requirements for line implantation vary based on location."

With renewed interest, Lin Jie continued, "Not only that, I also need to consider the specific type of tumor, its stage, the direction of tissue invasion, surrounding vasculature, nerve tissues..."

After explaining enthusiastically for a while, he looked up to see An Kexin watching him intently without blinking.

But Lin Jie noticed An Kexin's gaze was unfocused and seemed somewhat lost.

"Kexin, are you pretending to be interested but not understanding, with your thoughts wandering elsewhere?"

"Ah... Oh, what you said was brilliant!"

"Ajie, you're amazing!"

Hearing her say this, Lin Jie felt a bit exasperated, his expression a bit long...
