Wednesday afternoon, Binhai, the Lin Family siblings' apartment.

Tian Xiangyu, Fang Huanru, Xiao Ganghao, Song Licheng, Zhao Fang and others were busy in the kitchen.

Washing vegetables, handling chicken, duck, and fish, chopping, and stir-frying—judging from their proficient movements, everyone was making a good effort, clearly not their first time cooking.

The temporary host, Zou Manqing, held a tomato the size of a child's fist, took a bite, and said, "Don't underestimate these vegetables, even though their size and appearance differ slightly from those in the market."

"But their origin is pretty special; they were airlifted here."

Zou Manqing boasted, "This is from the famous Fu Family in Binhai. They specially sought a picturesque place thousands of miles away to establish a farm, using neither chemical fertilizers nor pesticides, only organic compost, producing truly all-natural vegetables."

"And... the chicken, duck, pig, etc., are all naturally free-ranged too."

Fang Huanru chuckled softly, "The teacher hosts a gourmet gathering at home every Wednesday. We all know about this. This time, we are lucky to bask in Senior Brother Xiao's light, finally coming to the teacher's home to taste these natural foods."

Song Licheng chuckled, echoing, "Yes, truly, we must thank Senior Brother Xiao! We had no idea when we would receive an invitation from the teacher!"

Xiao Ganghao's face turned red, reaching all the way to his neck as he fiercely glared at Fang Huanru and Song Licheng.

Zhao Fang asked worriedly, "If the teacher finds out we're here, will he get mad?"

"He won't, he won't!"

Zou Manqing explained, "My cousin-in-law clearly told me that I could invite friends to the apartment."

"Besides, you are all my cousin-in-law's esteemed students; why would he be mad? My cousin-in-law's personality is quite nice and gentle."

"Nice, gentle personality?"

Fang Huanru shook her head and said, "That's probably how the teacher behaves with you and with family and friends. I sometimes wonder if the teacher has a dual personality?"

"In the operating room, the teacher is as severe as a demon king, sending chills down your spine—frightening beyond words."

Tian Xiangyu nodded heavily and said, "Indeed, the aura is just too overpowering!"

"My uncle is known for his stern demeanor. As soon as he enters the operating room, none of the nurses dare to speak thoughtlessly."

"But compared to the teacher, he's far from it. Frankly speaking, my uncle once told me that whenever he operated with the teacher, he couldn't help but feel nervous himself."

"Your uncle ever operated with the teacher?" Xiao Ganghao asked, puzzled.

"Once, my uncle served as the teacher's assistant."

Tian Xiangyu mumbled this response and then changed the subject, asking, "Old Xiao, Junior Brother Song, Junior Sister Zhao, have you been harassed by headhunting companies lately?"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

Zhao Fang said eagerly, "I have more than two years until I graduate, and recently..."

"A headhunting company and two hospitals have approached me, even promising to pay me if I sign an agreement now, along with a substantial signing bonus."

"I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Senior Brother Song, the units contacting you must be even more, right?"

Busy with stir-frying, Song Licheng nodded in acknowledgement.

Zou Manqing suddenly spoke up, "You are my cousin-in-law's students. Naturally, after graduation, you should go to Anlin Hospital."

While saying this, she glanced at Xiao Ganghao a few times.

Tian Xiangyu placed the chopped beans on a porcelain plate and explained, "Zou Manqing, you might not be aware, but Old Xiao, Fang Huanru, and I are doing in-service training."

"Strictly speaking, it's not even training, as we didn't follow the formal procedure of the Medical College; we're actually studying privately with the teacher."

"The three of us all have jobs."

He paused for a moment and said, "After our studies end, I'll be working back at the Jingcheng University Affiliated Hospital, and Fang Huanru will probably return to Limin Hospital."

"As for Old Xiao..."

While being watched by Zou Manqing and others, Xiao Ganghao hadn't spoken when Fang Huanru took the lead, saying, "I might not necessarily go back to Limin Hospital. Although my dad is the director of Limin Hospital, he told me I could choose my future independently."

"Besides, my dad is in orthopedics, and I'm focusing on ophthalmology."

Looking respectful, she sighed, "The teacher's eyeball transplant surgery is simply incredible; I can't even begin to describe it."

"Xiao Ganghao, what about you?" Zou Manqing asked nervously.

Xiao Ganghao remained silent for a moment and said slowly, "Before coming here, I worked in a township hospital where medical conditions were relatively poor; I can say I was the best doctor there."

He turned to look at Zou Manqing and said, "For some reasons, I promised them to work at that hospital for five years!"

"Then..."

Zou Manqing asked casually, "How long have you been working there already?"

Xiao Ganghao replied softly, "Including this year, three years; excluding, two years..."

Bamboo Sea National Village, Chuansi Province.

Lin Jie and An Kexin welcomed the weary Nie Yuming, who had hurriedly arrived.

He got out of the SUV with a weary face and handed a thick box of paper documents to Lin Jie.

"Expert Lin, these people's medical records are considered personal privacy abroad and are confidential. We had to make quite an effort to obtain them. Electronic files, email, and such are a bit insecure, so we can only show you the paper documents."

Lin Jie didn't expect Ye Peihua to be so cautious, dispatching Nie Yuming to personally deliver the medical records.

The three of them walked into a nearby bamboo pavilion and sat down. Lin Jie opened the document box and began to review the medical records.

There were fifteen medical records in total, all translated into Chinese.

The first medical record belonged to Els Smith, a Frenchman!

Nie Yuming took a sip of water and said: "Els, twenty-five years old, played in the Premier League before his injury, serving as a midfielder. During a cup match, while competing for a header, he heavily collided his head against the goal post, immediately falling into a coma."

"Afterwards, his left eye gradually became blurry and eventually went blind, diagnosed as a blood clot in the brain pressing on the visual center."

"He has been recovering for two years without any improvement and now works in a supermarket."

After reviewing this person's medical record, Lin Jie studied his cranial CT scan and found that his condition was somewhat similar to Lin Miao's earlier situation, with two blood clots in the brain, one of which was in a more dangerous position.

He closed his eyes and roughly simulated the surgical scenario in his mind, saying: "This person can be approached."

Nie Yuming nodded, took a pen, and marked this medical record.

Lin Jie picked up the second medical record, which was about a black person.

"Casino, twenty-four years old, played in the French Ligue 1 before his injury, serving as a forward. During a team training match, he injured his back, and afterwards, his left leg felt numb."

"He acts no differently from normal people, but when running fast, he often trips and falls..."

Before Nie Yuming could finish, Lin Jie shook his head and said: "This person doesn't need consideration. His spinal nerve is injured, and I can't help with that."

The third medical record was a meniscus injury.

After carefully studying the medical records, Lin Jie shook his head and said: "This person's meniscus damage is too severe; to fully cure it, it would require replacing it with an artificial meniscus."

"However, due to limitations in material technology, while this artificial meniscus can allow him to walk, run, and jump like a normal person, it can't support him in a high-intensity football match..."

Sports injuries are mostly muscle, tendon, bone, and joint damage caused by high-intensity activity.

An athlete's technical movements are not always flawless; they will always have some movement defects and bad habits.

These non-standard movements tend to cause repetitive injuries to certain parts of the body, leading to stubborn injuries that are difficult to heal, thereby affecting their sports lifespan.

The medical records sent to Lin Jie were either complex and difficult-to-treat cases of traumatic brain and nerve injuries or chronic injuries like meniscus damage.

In short, none were easy to cure.

Lin Jie thought about it and came to the realization that these professional stars are treasures of their clubs; if their injuries were easy to heal, they wouldn't have been abandoned by the clubs.

With Lin Jie's current ability, after reviewing fourteen medical records, he had only found confidence in curing four people.

Apart from Els with the cranial blood clot, there was one person whose leg was broken by a tackle, causing nerve damage in the leg.

One person's thigh muscles repeatedly tore, causing the muscle fibers to twist like a braid each time they healed.

Another person had a right ankle that suffered from recurrent stubborn injuries.

Accompanying Lin Jie in silence, An Kexin suddenly spoke, "Young Master Nie, these stars are all from the top five leagues!"

Nie Yuming proudly said: "Of course! We wouldn't consider people from other leagues. Only players who have proven themselves in the top five leagues are worth our effort and expense."

An Kexin nodded, reminding, "Young Master Nie, these people were quite famous before their injuries and must have signed many contracts, such as agency contracts, endorsement contracts, and so on."

"It's fine if they don't make a comeback, but once their bodies recover, these contracts..."

Nie Yuming chuckled and said: "Miss An's concerns have been anticipated."

"To be honest, we've only collected information on these people and haven't officially approached them yet."

"Only after Expert Lin has confirmed the final candidates can we proceed with deep negotiations with them."

"Of course, these negotiations will be secret."

"Before the final signing, we will secretly assist them in terminating all other agreements."

An Kexin smiled gently and said, "With this approach, the timeline..."

Nie Yuming sighed helplessly, "Agreements and laws in those countries are not simple matters; we estimate that it will take at least half a year to handle these issues."

"Young Master Ye now needs to first quietly settle these players privately and then use their names to settle a domestic football club..."

It was only then that Lin Jie understood Ye Peihua's real plan, realizing they were still in the phase of mutually bluffing each other.

He took out the last medical record from the document box and found that the injured person was only eighteen years old, with a condition of left knee comminuted fracture.

"His name is Anders, and he plays for a La Liga team. Locals hailed him as the second Messi. However, he was hit with a sneak attack that shattered his knee, clearly an intentional act to ruin him."

Nie Yuming asked expectantly, "Expert Lin, can you heal him? He's only eighteen, and if healed, his future is limitless."

"If he can become a naturalized player, our country's World Cup prospects will brighten."
