Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1086 - 1048: No Rabbit, No Hawk

"Uncle!"As soon as Lin Jie returned home, Yuanyuan hugged his left leg, while Lele pounced on his other leg.

For a moment, he couldn't move, so he had to bend over and hold Yuanyuan in his arms.

"Uncle, there's an aunt and uncle here to see you!"

Following Yuanyuan's little hand, Lin Jie looked over to the living room sofa area and saw two people stand up.

One was Li Haoxiang.

The other looked familiar; after glancing a few more times, Lin Jie recognized her as Guan Xiaoyue.

From her youthful and vibrant self, after not seeing her for a few months, she seemed to have aged ten years. Her skin tone was poor, evidently not much makeup, and her spirit looked rather weary.

Seeing her, Lin Jie understood her purpose.

Six months ago, her one-year-old child was seriously bitten by a deliberately trained fierce dog in Binhai Park. The child should be recovering well now, and she's here specifically for further injury treatment.

Lin Jie exchanged a few pleasantries with the two and, seeing Li Haoxiang gesture toward Yuanyuan clinging to his side, he said, "Guan Xiaoyue, please wait a moment, I need to discuss something in the study with Lawyer Li."

He squatted down again and said to Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, I need to talk about something important with uncle."

"Can you play with Nannan sister and Lele for a while, okay?"

Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, reluctantly saying, "Okay, Uncle, but come back quickly."

"Yes, I'll be back soon."

After agreeing with Yuanyuan, Lin Jie led Li Haoxiang into the study and directly asked, "The matter about Yuanyuan is not going smoothly?"

Li Haoxiang chuckled lightly and said, "If it's a matter that can be solved with money, then it's not unsmooth. We paid sixty thousand, and they put their fingerprints on the agreement."

Lin Jie sighed in relief, saying, "Arrange the related costs and send the invoice to my studio."

Li Haoxiang nodded and then asked, "Expert Lin, do you have any plans for Yuanyuan's future?"

Lin Jie sighed softly, "I'm thinking of finding her a good family."

Li Haoxiang said, "Yuanyuan is so cute; seeing her today, I can't help but be tempted."

"In the future, for matters related to Yuanyuan, if there's anything you need, feel free to let me know."

Lin Jie bluntly said, "There will definitely be some procedures, background investigations, and such in the future; I'll be troubling you."

"Oh, and there's one small thing. There's a court auction this Thursday; send someone to act as my proxy to bid for Qushui Garden!"

"Oh, Qushui Garden? That Qushui Garden?"

Li Haoxiang was quite surprised and asked for confirmation, "Expert Lin, are you bidding for the Qushui Garden commissioned for auction by Four Seas Bank, valued at over two hundred million?"

Lin Jie nodded, "Yes, that one."

"I've already spoken with Four Seas Bank; basically, we'll acquire it at the reserve price, and this auction is just a formality!"

Although he has been closely watching Lin Jie's changes and growth, knowing that he's no longer what he used to be, hearing him speak so casually of bidding for an item valued over two hundred million still left Li Haoxiang extremely surprised.

Keep in mind, nearly two years ago, Lin Jie had spent only thirty thousand in annual property fees for Xiangtai Apartment to buy the election ticket for his hand in the homeowners' association chairman.

Suppressing his internal shock, Li Haoxiang adopted a more respectful demeanor, saying, "Expert Lin, I'll personally attend the auction..."

After sending off Li Haoxiang, Lin Jie had just sat down on the living room sofa when Yuanyuan hurriedly ran over.

She climbed onto the sofa with both hands and feet, sitting right next to Lin Jie. Her little legs didn't swing idly as she adopted an unusually ladylike posture.

Guan Xiaoyue, sitting to one side, praised, "Little Yuanyuan is so well-behaved and cute, and she is very attached to Expert Lin."

Lin Jie affectionately patted Yuanyuan's two ponytails and said to Guan Xiaoyue, "Regarding the child?"

Guan Xiaoyue nodded, taking out a stack of examination documents and images and handing them over, saying, "The attending doctor caring for my child said he is well enough to undergo surgery."

"Expert Lin, please take a look!"

Lin Jie took the materials and glanced through them.

The child's severely injured right leg and abdomen have healed, leaving behind several terrifying scars now.

Especially on his right leg, where a large piece of muscle was bitten off by the dog, leaving a visible depression.

Additionally, the child has noticeable scars on his left face, left shoulder, and other areas.

The diagnostic report also noted that due to muscle loss, nerve damage, and severe restrictions on his right leg's mobility functions, he requires corrective tools to assist with walking.

Lin Jie set the materials aside, saying, "With the child's current condition, he can undergo surgery."

"However, I've been quite busy recently..."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and, seeing Guan Xiaoyue's tense and anxious expression, said, "Let's schedule the surgery for three weeks later, when the athletes' physical exams will be over."

Guan Xiaoyue quickly agreed, "Okay, waiting three weeks is no problem!"

Lin Jie reminded, "Although the child's recovery ability is better, he's still too young, and his body is weak. His right leg's recovery won't be completed in one surgery."

"It will probably require three to four surgeries, one every six months."

Guan Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly, saying, "You're the authoritative expert; everything will be done as you say. I just hope my child can recover fully and be as if he weren't injured."

"Expert Lin, what about the scars on his face and body?"

Lin Jie promised, "I will take care of the scars on the face and the scars on the body parts that are often exposed."

"But the scar on the stomach?"

Guan Xiaoyue hurriedly said, "Please also handle it, Expert Lin."

"Even though he is a boy, having such a big scar on his stomach is quite frightening, especially to good girls."

"Expert Lin, for the child's treatment, please use the best of everything."

"The best treatment plan, the best ward, the most expensive medicine, don't think about saving money..."

Guan Xiaoyue said hatefully, "That damned woman paid quite a lot of money, and I've saved it all for the child."

"Now the child's treatment costs are all covered by that bastard."

"Anyway, the saved money that bastard would just spend on that vixen, so Expert Lin, you definitely don't need to save money."

Seeing Lin Jie's displeased expression, Guan Xiaoyue noticed Yuanyuan nestled at his side, showed an apologetic look, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

She said bitterly, "Expert Lin, you may not know yet, I have already divorced that bastard."

In Lin Jie's slight surprise, Guan Xiaoyue continued, "Perhaps this is all karma."

"For the past few months, I have been too busy taking care of the child, neglecting my appearance, and ignoring him, and in the end, he went back to his old ways and hooked up with another woman."

"After the child's situation, I've come to terms with it, so I simply fulfilled his wishes and we separated."

"Expert Lin, the child is my entire world now, please take good care of him..."

Guan Xiaoyue left less than ten minutes before An Kexin and Lin Miao returned home together.

Tonight happened to be a rare occasion where the family gathered to have dinner together.

At the dining table, Lin Jie announced first, "The defense for my graduation thesis is scheduled for Thursday morning this week."

Lin Miao immediately exclaimed with joy, "Brother, brother, this is a significant event, we will all go to cheer and congratulate you at the time!"

"No need, no need!"

Lin Jie waved his hand to refuse, "It's just a small graduation thesis defense, it poses no difficulty or challenge for me. Wait until the graduation ceremony, then you can come to the school to congratulate me."

An Kexin chuckled lightly, "Let's do as A-Jie wishes then."

"This graduation thesis defense is indeed too simple for A-Jie, not worth us making a fuss over."

"I also want to tell you all something, from now on I can mostly make it home for dinner."

Facing the skeptical eyes of everyone, An Kexin continued to explain, "The Binhai Anlin Garden project team has officially been formed, major investors have sent their best teams over."

"I just need to oversee the overall situation from now on, and leave the specific matters to them."

"As for the national project negotiations of Anlin Garden, there are no big differences left, only small issues remain that can be discussed slowly, no rush."

She then looked at Lin Jie, apologetically saying, "A-Jie, I have been busy with various affairs lately and haven't spent much time with you, I will make more time to be with you in the future."

Lin Jie glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, and others who were looking at him with amused expressions, and said somewhat bashfully, "Not only you, but I've also been busy lately."

"In the future...let's both try to make time."

After saying this, he immediately put on a stern face and said, "Hurry up and eat your dinner..."

After dinner, Lin Jie called An Kexin to the study to inquire about the social fundraising issue.

"The research and development of the intelligent medical system require a huge funding gap, there's still a shortfall of seven or eight hundred million."

Lin Jie analyzed, "It's not realistic to rely solely on government and related department support. When asking for sponsorship, based on my reputation, people might at most throw in a few million, over ten million would be the absolute limit."

"As for Cai Jinqiang offering five hundred million, I guess his main interest is in my tumor-induced growth project; he has his eyes on that inducer."

"I was thinking, could we package the intelligent medical system's research and development into a project that integrates R&D, production, and sales for fundraising operations?"

An Kexin thought for a moment and said, "A-Jie, those investors are no fools."

"On the contrary, they are very shrewd, you must make them clearly see the prospects of hefty returns."

"These returns could be actual profits or social prestige, but they must have a high probability of being realized."

She analyzed, "In my opinion, a critical point in your project development is that 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector."

"If you secure the projector, combined with your development strategy, the projector being present in hospitals across the country becomes highly possible."

"That would mean your research project is bound to succeed, and the profits would be continuous."

Lin Jie seemed to understand a bit and said, "Kexin, so you're saying if we want to successfully raise funds, we first have to secure the 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector?"

An Kexin nodded and said, "Yes! Those investors won't act without seeing some tangible benefit first."

"If you want them to invest money, you have to give them something concrete. Underhanded tricks like getting something for nothing don't work anymore."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "I understand."

"I will discuss it with Dean Cheng and the others, try to first overcome the software for converting different data formats, and then work hard on Morrison Industries."

At this moment, his phone rang.

Lin Jie picked up the phone and saw, to his surprise, that the caller was Ariel Skeller, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet.
