"Bang... Bang..."

The vibrations from the door made Lin Jie's shoulders ache.

However, he didn't dare to step back and stood firm against the door.

It must be said, you get what you pay for; this high-end solid wood door not only has good sound insulation but also considerable hardness. Even after He Tongfang kicked it more than a dozen times, it didn't even crack.

"Lin Jie, don't think that just because you're holding the door, I have no way to deal with you."

He Tongfang's sinister and hysterical voice faintly seeped through, "You forced me to do this, I'm going to turn on the gas now, burn down this house, and let the entire building be destroyed!"

"Lin Jie, by then, the lives lost won't just be a few people, but dozens, even hundreds..."

At a moment like this, even if He Tongfang had his finger on a nuclear bomb button, threatening to blow up the whole world, Lin Jie wouldn't open the door.

Time passed second by second, but outside it was deathly silent!

Afraid of He Tongfang's trickery, a sudden attack, Lin Jie dared not relax even a bit, standing firm against the door...

While he endured the nerve-wracking torment, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

At the same time, anxious shouting accompanied it, "Mr. Lin, Miss Hu, are you inside? I'm Manager Zheng from the property management..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Jie felt as if his spine had just been removed, and his body collapsed!

After catching his breath, Lin Jie regained some strength and opened the door amidst the tense and anxious shouting outside...

Accompanied by Manager Zheng, Lin Jie went to the first-floor living room and saw He Tongfang being pinned firmly to the ground by two burly security guards!

As soon as he moved, one of the guards punched him hard in the ribs, so painfully that he didn't even have the strength to scream.

However, He Tongfang's gaze was still filled with madness, following Lin Jie's every move without letting go.

But now, to Lin Jie, He Tongfang was like a toothless tiger, with no threat at all.

Manager Zheng, still shaken, said, "We received a call from Boss Ye, checked the surveillance video from over an hour ago, and discovered the problem."

He wiped the sweat born of fear from his face, "This is our fault. The person responsible for monitoring the video didn't notice the problem immediately..."

Relieved to be alive, Lin Jie exhaled a long breath and interrupted him, saying, "Accountability and rectifying the issue don't need to be explained to me. I just need to know, have you called the police?"

"We have already called the police. They are on their way!" Manager Zheng replied cautiously.

Lin Jie reached out his hand and said, "Let me borrow your phone, I need to make a call!"

Taking Manager Zheng's phone, Lin Jie saw the first call record was with Ye Hongqing and immediately dialed it.

As soon as it connected, Ye Hongqing's anxious voice came through, "Have you found the person..."

"Boss Ye, it's me, I'm fine!"

"Thank God! It's good that you're fine!"

Ye Hongqing's voice was immediately filled with relief, "Professor Chen, Dean Tao, and the others are in my car now, heading towards Xiangtai Apartment..."

Lin Jie moved his body, stretched his limbs, checked his own condition, and calmly said, "Turn around and return to the hospital, I'll rush back as soon as possible."

"It's rare to get an available operating room slot, we can't waste it like this."

Ye Hongqing kindly and concernedly said, "Brother Lin, you've just been through such an ordeal, take it easy! Qin Gang isn't in a hurry for this moment, really, he can wait."

But Lin Jie firmly insisted, "Boss Ye, I'm not physically injured, and I'm very clear about my mental state, nothing will go wrong."

He continued, "Surgeons all undergo pressure training. You can ask Professor Chen and Dean Tao right now and they'll confirm I'm right."

At this moment, Chen Shi's voice came through the phone, "If Lin Jie says he's fine, then he's fine, let's turn back."

Tao Taqing's voice also chimed in, "Boss Ye, you might not be aware, but for some surgeons, sometimes staying in the operating room performing surgery is actually the best way to relieve stress and tension."

When the police arrived on the scene, after Lin Jie gave his statement, he then drove to Donghua Hospital, reaching there at 12:30.

After making all preparations, Lin Jie walked into the operating room!

He unhesitatingly stood where the lead surgeon should be, scanning the operating table opposite where Chen Shi was as the first assistant, on his side was Tao Taqing as the second assistant, and monitoring the anesthesia and patient's data was Yang Jinglong, lastly handling the miscellaneous tasks was Zhang Daya.

Lin Jie slowly spoke, "I promised my sister to be back before she woke up. She usually wakes up around six, and it takes about an hour to get home at this time of night."

His tone was calm, yet imbued with an irrefutable strength, "That means the surgery needs to be finished around four thirty. I need your full cooperation, with no mistakes, understand?"

Yang Jinglong and Zhang Daya, who had worked with Lin Jie more than once, promptly and loudly answered, "Understood / Understood!"

This was Chen Shi's first time assisting Lin Jie in surgery, but he had heard An Kexin mention him many times.

An Kexin had told him admiringly that once Lin Jie entered the operating room, it was like he became a different person, transformed into a natural leader with an inner-spread aura of authority that compelled others to submit.

Chen Shi had merely smiled at this, thinking she was just overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere and bloody scenes in the operating room.

Yet now, standing opposite Lin Jie, when his gaze met his, Chen Shi couldn't help but want to bow his head, feeling inexplicably nervous.

He felt a sense of bewilderment, as if he had traveled back in time.

At this moment, the person standing opposite him was not his student, but his former mentor, preparing to take him through his first major surgery.

When the gaze across met his again, Chen Shi reflexively said, "Understood!"

Tao Taqing also promptly followed with, "Understood!"

"Good, the surgery begins!" Lin Jie said expressionlessly!

He opened the patient's abdominal cavity, using various surgical clamps to clamp the blood vessels connected to the liver, the bile duct, etc. Lin Jie expertly and decisively clamped, then removed the liver from the patient's abdominal cavity, transferring it to the prepared microsurgery table on the side.

Lin Jie sat in the chair and began the crucial procedure of extracting bullets, as well as the liver's debridement and repair surgery.

Chen Shi also stepped up, assisting in the corresponding surgical procedures.

Lin Jie gently used forceps to extract a bullet that was already wrapped in layers of body tissue from the liver.

The liver immediately revealed a cavity the size of a peanut, quickly filled with remaining blood.

Chen Shi promptly inserted the suction tube, draining all the fluids from the cavity.

Lin Jie began debridement, excising some damaged, contaminated, and hard-to-repair liver tissue.

He then proceeded to the meticulous liver repair surgery process...
