Lin Jie had just finished explaining the surgical situation of the injured to a few military personnel and was about to leave when he saw Cheng Xingguang hurrying over.

"Expert Lin, was the surgery successful?"

"It went fairly well!"

Lin Jie replied simply, then asked in puzzlement, "Dean Cheng, why are you on night duty again?"

At this point, he gestured with his mouth towards the other side, whispering, "Is it because of those other matters you're coming over here for?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been shouting earlier was being closely guarded by several strong security guards. Although he no longer shouted, he sat on the ground sobbing.

Cheng Xingguang turned his head to glance over there and sighed, shaking his head, "The patient passed away despite treatment, and the family is causing a disturbance because they can't accept it. This kind of thing happens often."

"If even small matters like this required my attention, I wouldn't have time to do anything else as the dean."

He looked at the military personnel behind Lin Jie and murmured, "This injured person has quite an unusual status."

"I'm not..."

Cheng Xingguang suddenly paused, chuckled, and said, "I'm just worrying unnecessarily. With Expert Lin handling the surgery, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "Dean, don't place too much faith in me."

"Unexpected events can occur during surgery. Even if the surgery itself is successful, complications like thrombosis or acute infections post-operation are beyond my control."

Lin Jie's curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, "Dean, who exactly is this person? I heard the soldiers calling him a general?"

Cheng Xingguang shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know the specifics either."

"It's just that while you were in surgery, I received calls from a few important figures instructing me to ensure all conditions are met for the surgery's success."

"I knew you dislike being disturbed during surgery, so I stayed outside to ensure you had whatever you needed."

Cheng Xingguang breathed a sigh of relief, saying in a relaxed tone, "The surgery is finally over, and the weight on my heart is lifted! Expert Lin, you must be tired, go and rest. I'll handle things here."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "I'll go take a nap in the office. I'll come back in the morning to conduct a check-up on this mysterious general."

"Oh, my son..."

The man's sobbing continued.

The sound of his crying, filled with despair and regret, was quite distressing to Lin Jie as he listened. Unable to bear it, he asked, "Dean Cheng, do you know the specifics of what's happening over there?"

Cheng Xingguang turned to look at the man and said softly, "His son, nineteen years old, was speeding on a motorcycle. When stopped by the traffic police, he didn't stop but tried to flee instead."

"During the chase, his son crashed into a truck carrying construction waste."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

So it wasn't an accident caused intentionally; it was just an unforeseen event.

Cheng Xingguang continued, "When he was brought here, he still had a breath left."

"But his injuries were too severe, with multiple fractures, a broken spine, ruptured organs causing internal bleeding, and diffuse bleeding in the brain. After nearly an hour of rescue efforts, he ended up like this."

At this point, he turned his gaze to Lin Jie and said, "When this father arrived at the hospital and learned the attending doctor wasn't you, he kept clamoring to have you brought in to save his son."

"He kept proclaiming that you are the best and most skilled doctor in Binhai..."

Cheng Xingguang said emotionally, "Expert Lin, you've not only gained widespread recognition in the medical field but your reputation is also starting to spread among the general public..."

Lin Jie awoke on the long sofa in his office and realized it was already past 8 a.m.

Checking his phone, he saw a missed call from Kong Mingqing.

He went to the restroom, handling his personal needs while dialing Kong Mingqing's number.

As soon as the phone rang once, it was picked up, and Kong Mingqing's voice came through immediately, "Lin Jie, another motorcycle accident happened last night..."

Lin Jie yawned and spoke indistinctly, "I know. That motorcyclist being chased by the police crashed into a truck and already died from severe injuries."

"Lin Jie, I'm not sure about the one you're talking about, but the motorcycle accident I'm referring to, the motorcyclist didn't die."

Lin Jie became more alert and asked, "Didn't die? Brother Kong, tell me more about it."

"Here's the situation: around two in the morning, a modified high-displacement motorcycle speeding along was hit by a watermelon."

"The motorcyclist was thrown over ten meters but luckily only broke a few bones and wasn't fatally injured."

"Hit by a watermelon, of all things!"

Lin Jie was momentarily stunned before asking, "Did they catch the person who threw the watermelon?"

Kong Mingqing regretfully replied, "Not yet, the matter is still under investigation."

"We're also unsure if this is an isolated incident, or if someone was imitating the incident where rebar was used to jam a motorcycle's wheel, or if... it's actually the same person responsible."

Lin Jie, somewhat schadenfreude, said, "It looks like these night racers have aroused public resentment."

"Late at night, these guys, riding their motorcycles, the engine noise can reach 200 decibels, enough to wake up all the old and young in the neighborhood."

"If my heart hadn't gotten better, I might have been scared to death by this noise, literally."

He complained, "Police and traffic officers should have addressed this issue long ago."

Kong Mingqing lamented, "We do try, but it's always been ineffective."

He sighed again, "Now it's summer break, the peak time for seventeen, eighteen, twenty-year-olds, full of hormones, eager for thrills."

"I hope these two consecutive accidents will make them restrain themselves a bit..."

After finishing his wash, Lin Jie didn't bother with breakfast and headed directly to the inpatient department.

Unexpectedly, he searched through several special care wards but didn't find the injured person from last night's surgery.

Could it be that something went wrong after the surgery and this mysterious figure kicked the bucket?

Feeling a bit concerned, Lin Jie stopped a young nurse and asked, "Where is the military patient who had facial transplantation surgery last night being hospitalized?"

"Hello, Expert Lin!"

The young nurse clearly recognized Lin Jie and said earnestly, "That patient has been transferred."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt a sense of relief yet also a tinge of anger, asking, "Transferred? When? Who approved it? This is my patient."

The young nurse replied cautiously, "Expert Lin, it was around six in the morning when several military doctors came, conducted an assessment, and then took the patient away with care."

"Um... Dean Cheng was present throughout!"

Lin Jie understood, waved the nurse off, and let her go.

He rubbed his belly, deciding to grab something to eat first, and then head home for some proper rest.

While waiting for the elevator, a man in his forties beside him looked carefully at Lin Jie and asked, "Hello, are you the invited expert Dr. Lin Jie from the Affiliated Hospital?"

Lin Jie nodded, acknowledging his identity.

The man extended his hand and said, "Hello! I am Wu Jialiang, the chief surgeon of general surgery at Changning Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Xishan Province. Recently, Anlin Hospital had a headhunting firm contact me."

Hearing this, Lin Jie appraised him for a moment, shook his hand, and politely said, "Hello, Dr. Wu."

Wu Jialiang briefly clasped Lin Jie's hand, releasing it afterward, and said, "To be honest, I declined Anlin Hospital's offer at the time. However, recently, my wife has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is undergoing further examination here."

He hesitated slightly, seemingly making a significant decision, then said, "Dr. Lin, I am aware of your astounding skills in neurosurgery."

"I can promise you that if you can completely cure my wife, I will accept Anlin Hospital's invitation."
