"To be blunt, at present, Lin Jie is far more important to the Fu Family than your An Family or even Professor Chen!"

These words were quite direct, and An Weize's face changed several times!

Though he felt displeased, he also knew that this was indeed a fact!

Kang Yingyao's billions could change hands with just a few words, let alone his own assets of a few hundred million, which the Fu Family wouldn't even consider!

Lin Jie is a surgical master capable of saving lives at critical moments.

Such people can't be hired just with money, and An Weize deeply appreciated this point.

He calmed himself, bent down slightly, and said, "Mr. Fu, I understand your point. It's our An Family's honor to associate with Lin Jie. I will do my utmost to provide a good environment for Lin Jie to grow."

Only after An Weize's figure disappeared from view did Fu Hechang ask in some confusion, "Uncle, as far as I know, An Weize treats Lin Jie quite well. Why did you knock him down a peg?"

Mr. Fu gave him a glance and said, "Once you become familiar, many people let down their guard!"

"While Lin Jie has outstanding medical skills, he is still young and lacks experience. Over time, it's inevitable that An Weize and that Professor Chen might have other thoughts and try to control Lin Jie!"

He sighed and said, "I knocked him down a peg to protect Lin Jie."

"Lin Jie may seem gentle, but he can be quite decisive and extreme. If he notices any ill intent from An Weize, who knows what Lin Jie might do!"

Fu Hechang was startled by these words and, after thinking for a moment, tested the waters by asking, "Uncle, it seems you know something about Lin Jie?"

Mr. Fu didn't answer directly; instead, he turned to Wang Jinglan, who had been quietly standing by, and said, "Little Monkey, go and exercise on your own. My routines are too light for you."

Understanding that Mr. Fu didn't want her to hear the upcoming conversation, Wang Jinglan bid farewell and left for a run.

"How much do you know about Lin Jie's grievances with the Du Family?"

Fu Hechang thought for a moment and replied, "I only know that Li Donghai and his wife from the Du Family once hurt Lin Jie's sister!"

"It seems that Lin Jie performed the surgery himself and healed his sister's injuries and eyes!"

Mr. Fu said softly, "It's said that the little girl's injuries were very serious. If not for Lin Jie's extraordinary medical skills, she might not have survived."

"In such a serious situation, Lin Jie never accepted the Du Family's apology or sought compensation or justice through legal means!"

"That little girl is Lin Jie's twin sister, with whom he was always dependent on each other, yet he acted as if nothing ever happened. Doesn't it seem a bit odd?"

Fu Hechang thought about it and said, "Uncle, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit odd."

"I also heard that after Li Donghai was diagnosed with cancer, he believed in karma and actively sought to apologize and make amends to those he wronged, and Lin Jie refused him?"

Mr. Fu nodded and said, "Indeed, he refused! Have you considered that the Li Donghai couple probably went for regular check-ups, yet they were diagnosed with cancer without any warning? Isn't this somewhat strange?"

"Illness finds people, doesn't it..."

As he spoke, Fu Hechang's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he said incredulously, "Uncle, are you suggesting this... this was Lin Jie's doing? How is that possible?"

Mr. Fu sighed and said, "It's just my guess. Mainly because of Lin Jie's handling of this matter, which defies all logic."

"He could have accepted the Du Family's apology and compensation or blown the matter out of proportion, but he did nothing! Du Family Construction Company built Anlin Hospital, showing that Lin Jie has let it go."

Mr. Fu pondered and said, "If he let it go, it means his mind is at peace."

"Such a big grudge, would he just let it go because the couple was diagnosed with cancer?"

Mr. Fu shook his head and said, "Lin Jie was stubborn not to accept their apology, and then he was so at peace with the situation."

"If something seems unusual, there must be some anomaly. The only reasonable explanation is that the couple's cancer was his doing!"

Fu Hechang was stunned for a while and then said, amazed, "Uncle, how is that possible?"

"No matter how skilled Lin Jie is, he's only one person. Such methods... such methods... seem godlike?"

Mr. Fu chuckled and said, "Difficult for those who can't, easy for those who can! Perhaps for Lin Jie, this is a simple matter..."

Lin Jie slowly opened his eyes, feeling a weight on his chest. Looking down, he saw an arm draped over it.

Following the arm, he saw a face partially covered by hair, which was An Kexin's face.

Lin Jie gently moved her arm, sat up, and looked at her.

An Kexin lay on her side, a thin blanket covering half of her body, her face half-buried in the pillow, her nostrils gently moving with faint breaths, still dressed in last night's clothes.

Around five in the morning, the two had parted ways at Donghua Hospital; Lin Jie went home directly, and An Kexin was called by Chen Shi to question Chen Fanzhi together.

Lin Jie glanced at the clock; it was now 2:10 in the afternoon.

He quietly got out of bed and was about to cover An Kexin with the blanket when he saw her eyelashes flutter and then her eyes opened.

An Kexin's blurry gaze gradually came into focus and saw Lin Jie tugging at the blanket.

With a smile just emerging in her eyes, An Kexin suddenly pulled the blanket over her head.

"Lin Jie, you go out first. Let me freshen up, and we'll talk later." An Kexin's voice came muffled from under the blanket.

Lin Jie found it amusing and said, "I've already seen you undressed, so why act shy now?"

He reached to pull the blanket but found that An Kexin held onto it tightly and couldn't budge!

Covering her head, An Kexin hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, go out, or I'll get mad!"

Lin Jie had to leave and went to Lin Miao's room to wash up.

After Lin Jie finished washing up and had cooked two bowls of vegetable and pork egg wonton noodles, a refreshed An Kexin finally emerged from the room.

She was hungry too and sat down to eat. After half a bowl, she said, "My uncle and I thoroughly questioned my cousin, and I cross-examined Jiang Feihang and Pan Keying..."

Looking into Lin Jie's eyes, she said, "We can basically confirm that my cousin was only used and didn't participate in this plan."

Lin Jie replied blandly, "I figured that much. No matter how much your cousin dislikes me, he wouldn't do something with such serious consequences that would also harm himself."

An Kexin felt relieved and said, "Thank you for trusting me."

"My uncle's idea is to send my cousin abroad again. Since you two can't get along, it's better to be far apart..."

Lin Jie smiled slightly and said, "That's a bit of an overreaction."

"Chen Fanzhi's company was only established two months ago; giving up now would be a great pity."

"Rest assured, you and your uncle. I'm broad-minded. As long as he avoids me in the future, I'll treat him as a nonentity and won't bother with him."

An Kexin couldn't help but smile, casting Lin Jie a sidelong glance. Such generosity!

Still, Lin Jie's statement was indeed decent. Her cousin, having learned from this experience, wouldn't antagonize him again and would learn to steady himself to manage the company well.

With a sigh of relief, An Kexin continued, "Lin Jie, Jiang Feihang has already been taken away by the police for investigation."

"That Kang representative is now overwhelmed dealing with the bank's demand to convert debt into equity, and his company will soon change hands."

"Who did it?" Lin Jie asked, surprised by such swift retribution!

"The Fu Family!"

An Kexin remarked, "The Fu Family this time did not disguise their actions, essentially announcing to the world that you're under their protection!"

Lin Jie responded with an "oh," considering, "Perhaps they're afraid if something happens to me, it could affect Wang Jinglan's recovery."

An Kexin did not elaborate much and continued, "As for Miao Xiuping, who accused you publicly, and Jiang Nan, who wanted to step on you to climb up, leave them to us!"

"Lin Jie, whom have you chosen as your easy target?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Who else? The freshly arrived, with no foundation and a tarnished reputation, Daniel LI!"

"Since this bastard wants to see me fail, I'll make sure he pays dearly!"

With that, he picked up his phone and dialed a number!
