In Lin Jie's classroom, almost no one asked questions.

Every lesson was packed with so much information that it would take three to five days to digest, assuming you had a good foundation and were very diligent.

Each time he taught, Lin Jie put in all his effort, relentlessly giving out three to four hours of substantial content, which was exhausting. The students who came to listen were very respectful and grateful.

As Lin Jie's reputation grew, so did his authority.

This made the students both respect and fear Lin Jie, reluctant, and somewhat afraid, to waste his time.

Therefore, an abrupt question immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Jie looked up and saw that the one who spoke was a middle-aged man.

This person, he still recognized.

He was the man who, that day, accompanied Xu Feng's mother to question him about whether Xu Feng's legs could be saved.

Lin Jie guessed correctly that this man should be Xu Feng's uncle.

Seeing him appear in the classroom, Lin Jie sighed inwardly, his premonition becoming a reality, estimating that something dramatic was about to happen.

However, Lin Jie had a clear conscience and naturally did not fear any trouble.

He looked at the middle-aged man and said bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it; don't waste too much of our time."

The middle-aged man's face hardened, and he loudly said, "Expert Lin, you are a master in surgery, and sitting here are students from renowned institutions, future famous doctors. I would like to ask the simplest question..."

"Does treating a patient using a method the patient explicitly disagrees with, against their wishes, violate the law?"

The moment this question was posed, the small auditorium buzzed with whispers.

This issue has always been a highly controversial topic in both the medical and legal communities.

A doctor's duty is to save the dying and heal the wounded, to do everything possible to save lives, more precisely, to prolong a patient's life.

Yet some patients, perhaps because they cannot bear the pain and suffering caused by illness, or due to terminal stages of a severe illness, or for economic reasons, religious beliefs, or other issues, explicitly refuse treatment.

This creates a point of conflict.

Generally speaking, to avoid conflict and trouble, hospitals will respect the choices of patients and their families.

Especially before procedures like surgeries, they will have the patients and their families sign surgical consent forms.

If they do not sign, the hospital, fearing liability, typically will not proceed with surgery.

Unless during emergency rescue, when the patient cannot express their own wishes, the hospital presumes the patient authorizes doctors to take all necessary rescue measures.

Lin Jie raised his hand, silencing the discussions in the small auditorium, and said to the middle-aged man, "You're here for Xu Feng, aren't you? Stop beating around the bush, state your purpose directly, my time is very precious."

The middle-aged man snorted forcefully, left his seat and came to the aisle, pulled out a letter from his briefcase, and said loudly, "I am Lai Huahui, Lawyer Lai, representing Xu Feng. I am here to deliver a lawyer's letter to Dr. Lin Jie on behalf of my client..."

Lin Jie took the letter from Lawyer Lai who had come forward, sarcastically said, "Why is it not litigation papers?"

"A lawyer's letter doesn't have a shred of legal effect."

Lai Huahui did not directly answer Lin Jie's question but turned to face the many students in the small auditorium and said loudly, "My client Xu Feng was unfortunately injured outdoors during the recent earthquake in the Bamboo Sea, Chuansi Province, and was luckily rescued by Dr. Lin Jie and his friends."

"However, during the rescue process, Dr. Lin Jie disregarded my client's strong opposition and amputated my client's legs while he was unconscious."

Hearing this, Lin Jie almost spat out an old blood curse.

Gosh, how shameless can one be, this is outright lying with one's eyes open!

Strong opposition?

While unconscious?

I *%*&#%&*￥%#...

Lin Jie hurled every curse he could think of at Xu Feng in his heart.

Frankly speaking, if Xu Feng were here right now, Lin Jie would have the urge to dissect him alive.

"Lawyer Lai..."

At this moment, Tian Xiangyu stood up and interrupted Lai Huahui, solemnly saying, "I believe you must have done some background checking on our teacher before you came. Our teacher's medical skills, you could say, are second to none domestically, with no one daring to claim the first."

"No matter what reason the teacher might have had, under whatever circumstances, the amputation surgery on your client must have been the correct judgment, the best choice for your client."

Lai Huahui chuckled and said, "Of course, I did some background checking on Dr. Lin Jie's medical skills and reputation."

"But there's one thing I need to remind all the present students..."

He glanced at everyone and said, "Dr. Lin is only a mere twenty-one years old and had just experienced a thrilling earthquake at the time, outdoors, with aftershocks continuing!"

"Under those circumstances..."

"I seriously doubt that Dr. Lin Jie could have maintained a clear mind and precise judgment?"

Lai Huahui glanced back at Lin Jie, whose face was dark with anger, and shouted, "To quickly leave the dangerous area, I have ample reason to suspect that Dr. Lin Jie hastily made an erroneous decision, performing the leg amputations on my client."

Tian Xiangyu disdainfully rebutted, "According to your reasoning, if our teacher didn't save your client and ignored him, wouldn't that be a faster way to leave the dangerous area?"

Lai Huahui nodded vigorously and said, "That's also why I brought a lawyer's letter today instead of litigation papers."

"Despite being in an extremely terrified state at the time, Dr. Lin Jie remembered his duty as a doctor and did not forget to save lives. For this, both I and my client are full of admiration and gratitude."

He turned to Lin Jie, and said loudly: "Dr. Lin Jie, although my client admires your professional ethics."

"However..."

Lai Huahui said regretfully: "After all, you ignored my client's wishes, and your wrong decision has caused my client to permanently lose his legs!"

"My client is only twenty-one years old, the same age as you, Dr. Lin Jie. His promising future will now be spent in a wheelchair. In light of this..."

Lai Huahui said solemnly: "My client has authorized me to come here, first to deliver a lawyer's letter and second to discuss matters of apology and compensation."

The other side finally revealed their purpose, and Lin Jie felt even more angry and disdainful.

In the end, it's all about one word, "money"!

Lin Jie suppressed his inner fury and angrily said: "Truly worthy of being a lawyer, with a flowery tongue, adept at turning black into white. Today, I've truly witnessed it."

"Discussing apology and compensation..."

He sneered and said: "I will tell you clearly, this is absolutely impossible."

"Go back and tell that Xu Feng, I now deeply, deeply regret saving such an ungrateful, backstabbing bastard like him."

"Even if I toss a steamed bun to a stray dog, it would wag its tail in thanks; never thought he..."

"Dr. Lin Jie..."

Lai Huahui sharply interrupted Lin Jie's words, saying: "Mind your words and character, otherwise, I will sue you for defamation."

Lin Jie waved his hand dismissively and said disdainfully: "Go ahead, go ahead and sue, I can't wait."

"In court, the judge will not only listen to your side of the story."

He said indignantly: "I want to see whether people believe in your blatant lies, or in the truth I present."

Lai Huahui stared at Lin Jie for a while and said: "The testimonies from several friends who were with you will not be accepted by the court because they have a direct and close relationship with your interests."

"Although my client is just a university student, far behind you, the renowned doctor, in terms of fame, wealth, and status."

"However..."

He said confidently: "Dr. Lin Jie, do you believe it or not, public opinion will always lean towards my client?"

"Public opinion manipulation?"

Lin Jie said dismissively: "Is this your foundation of confidence? Let me tell you, my actions are upright, and my conscience is clear, so I am not afraid of any external pressure."

"I hope you don't end up shooting yourselves in the foot, making it hard to clean up afterwards."

Lin Jie waved his hand in disgust and said: "I've received your lawyer's letter, and I understand your purpose. I'll wait for you to file a lawsuit, now hurry up and leave."

"You've already wasted too much of my class time."

Lai Huahui took a deep breath and said loudly: "Dr. Lin Jie, since you are so resolute, we will have no choice but to confront each other on the battlefield of the courtroom. I can tell you right now, the reasons for my client's lawsuit mainly comprise two points."

"Firstly, you went against my client's strong wishes and amputated his legs."

"Secondly, your treatment decision was wrong; my client's legs could have been saved."

Saying this, Lai Huahui looked at the many students in the small auditorium and said loudly: "I will let you know an inside detail, my client's legs were amputated and then the military rescue helicopter arrived."

"It was due to Dr. Lin Jie's hasty treatment in a state of panic that my client's legs were lost forever."

Leaving those words, Lai Huahui strode out of the small auditorium.

"Teacher, I believe your decision was absolutely correct," Tian Xiangyu shouted!

"Teacher, I believe it too!" Fang Huanru stood up.

"Teacher, I believe it!" Huo Guangheng also stood up immediately after.

Song Licheng, Lu Xiaoyu, Guo Peng, He Yimin, and others all stood up together, shouting: "Teacher, we all believe you!"

"Teacher, we believe even more!"

More people stood up, expressing their support!

Lin Jie saw that none of the students in the small auditorium were sitting anymore and was quite touched.

"Alright, alright, everyone sit down!"

When the small auditorium returned to silence, Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said: "Although I'm not afraid of any lies, to prevent anyone from hearing only one side, let me tell you the true events of that day!"

At that moment, Lin Jie spent over ten minutes recounting the treatment of Xu Feng and many of the details.

When the many students heard that Xu Feng had his legs crushed by a boulder during the earthquake...

And that the aftershock nearly turned him into a pulp...

With Xu Feng's legs definitely unsalvageable, Lin Jie risked his life to amputate his legs, causing the small auditorium to erupt immediately.

For a time, the small auditorium was filled with the students' indignant shouts and reprimands...
