An Kexin woke up groggily and reached out beside her, only to find an empty space.
She opened her eyes and realized the person beside her was no longer in bed.
It was only 4:20 in the morning.
An Kexin sighed softly, got up and put on a jacket, first went to the kitchen to heat two cups of milk in the microwave, and then carried the milk into the study, where she saw Lin Jie staring blankly at several images on the big screen on the wall.
"Ajie, no need to push yourself so hard."
Lin Jie took the warm milk, took a sip, and said softly, "Three patients' tumors have reached a critical mont."
"If we don't co up with so thods to quickly prompt the changes we've been hoping for in their tumors, we'll have to give up."
"While waking early in the morning, with a clear and active mind, I ca here to think."
A few sips of hot milk, and An Kexin felt a warm coziness inside, much more comfortable, and her mind cleared a bit.
She reached out and tidied Lin Jie's ssy hair, persuading him: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"The patients you've taken on are malignant tumor patients and are using experintal therapies; are you expecting a complete success?"
Lin Jie moved his gaze back to the big screen and said, "Let's at least try sothing!"
"Before totally losing hope, we can't easily say we're giving up."
An Kexin shook her head sowhat, but couldn't say more to persuade him.
Maybe it's this relentless persistence that has allowed Lin Jie to maintain a hundred percent success rate.
She watched Lin Jie finish that cup of hot milk and then quietly withdrew from the study, no longer disturbing him.
Back in the bedroom, An Kexin didn't feel sleepy anymore, so she opened her laptop and started handling work emails...
At seven in the morning, the whole family, along with Qin Gang who ca to pick up Lin Jie, gathered in the dining room for breakfast.
"Qin Gang, when you sent those two drunk guys back, nothing happened, right?"
Facing An Kexin's inquiry, Qin Gang held back a bit but couldn't suppress his laughter, saying with glee: "Nothing major happened, except... when I got to their apartnt complex, after parking, I found..."
"Lu Kaicheng was already stripped naked!"
"What? Really?"
"Then what about Lili? Was she stripped too?"
"Fully naked? Or wearing underwear?"
"Qin Gang brother, did you take photos?"
Lin Jie cleared his throat vigorously, stopping everyone's enthusiastic questions, saying, "Alright, alright, let Qin Gang tell us slowly."
"Hey, if there are photos, bring them out first."
Qin Gang laughed slyly, took out his phone, pulled up the photo, and handed it to Lin Jie.
The image in the photo was a bit eye-catching. There was Lu Kaicheng, with most of his behind exposed, half lying on the back seat, tightly hugging Chen Lili. Both seed to be in deep sleep.
"Brother, brother, let see!"
Lin Jie handed the phone to Lin Miao, suddenly thought of sothing, and asked urgently, "Qin Gang, has the car been cleaned?"
"Cleaned!"
Qin Gang said earnestly: "I got up an hour and a half early today and thoroughly cleaned it inside and out."
This made Lin Jie feel much better.
Qin Gang continued: "I woke the two up, Chen Lili had slept a while, sobered up quite a bit, and could take care of herself."
"But Lu Kaicheng was still dazed, not cooperating to dress."
"I had no choice but to wrap him in clothes and carry him back ho."
The phone circulated a round and returned to Qin Gang's hand again.
An Keng suggested: "Qin Gang brother, use that photo to blackmail Dr. Lu into treating you to a three-day feast."
"That's exactly my plan," Qin Gang said with a mischievous grin!
"Hey, Qin Gang brother, when is Leyi sister going to have her baby?"
Qin Gang said with a face full of happiness: "Soon, soon, in just three weeks, it will be her due date."
Upon hearing this ti, Lin Jie advised: "During this period, swap more shifts with Guan Muhua. When Yang Leyi gives birth, you can spend more ti with her and the child."
Lin Jie peeled two boiled eggs one after another, gave one to Lin Miao, another to An Kexin, then said to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao sister, I have to go to the Ard Police General Hospital today for so matters, which might take a whole day."
"In that case, you'll need to drive Nannan to the Affiliated Hospital and also handle the visa."
Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded, saying: "I know."
She asked a bit worriedly: "Ajie, Kexin, there shouldn't be a visa rejection, right? Given the current tense relations between the United States and us."
Lin Jie laughed: "No, Xiaoxiao sister, Nannan, I've arranged everything."
"I've asked people from the British Consulate to help facilitate communication."
"After the communication, they told that the Aricans are also aware of Nannan's situation."
"Given Nannan's situation of just going to the United States for studies and not intending to stay permanently, it fits the United States' visa policy; the consulate won't block the visa."
"That person also gave a phone number, which I'll give to you later."
"Once you get to the U.S. Consulate, Xiaoxiao, you should call that number and ask for soone nad Elijah. He will help you with the visa."
Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, "Having a renowned doctor in the family is really nice, you can find connections anywhere."
Lin Miao boasted, "That's right, my brother is a world-class doctor, so naturally his connections span the globe."
"Brother Jie..."
An Keng suddenly sweetly called out.
Lin Jie glanced at her and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"
"Let tell you first, any unreasonable requests will not be fulfilled."
An Keng giggled, "Brother Jie, I've been learning to drive with my father's driver, Comrade Old Li, for so ti now. I'm not bragging, but I'm really good at driving now."
"Brother Jie, help out, can you get a driver's license?"
Lin Jie imdiately snorted, "You're not old enough for that. We'll talk when you're eighteen."
An Keng glanced around the dining table, gesturing with both hands to emphasize the number eighteen, and said with emphasis, "There are a little over two months until my eighteenth birthday."
"Eighteen years old is a very important birthday."
"Being eighteen ans I'm an adult."
An Kexin chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, you don't need to remind us repeatedly. We'll all prepare your eighteenth birthday gift with all our hearts."
"However, your birthday coincides almost perfectly with the opening of Anlin Hospital."
"We'll likely be very busy at that ti, and a birthday party might be a bit difficult."
An Keng smiled sweetly, "I don't mind about the party."
"As long as the gift is to my liking..."
She reminded, "Sister, the Porsche Brother Jie gave you, it seems you've barely driven it once or twice."
An Keng then looked at Lin Jie with a flattering smile, "Brother Jie, the Rainbow Necklace you gave my sister is so beautiful..."
There we go, this girl is already naming gifts.
Both Lin Jie and An Kexin pretended not to catch her hint, busying themselves with breakfast.
Shortly after four in the afternoon, at the Binhai Ard Police General Hospital.
Lin Jie finished the full-body costic surgery on a foreigner and ca out of the operating room, unexpectedly finding Water Buffalo waiting for him.
Lin Jie asked cautiously, "Are you here specifically for or just passing by?"
"Specifically for you!"
Lin Jie's expression fell, and he grumbled, "What is it this ti? I'm really busy right now."
Water Buffalo smirked, "We know that, so this ti we're just consulting you on a small matter, and we don't even require a definite result."
"Small matter?"
Lin Jie said skeptically, "Sothing you're handling could be a small matter? Even if it were small, you wouldn't co to trouble specifically."
Water Buffalo chuckled, "For you, it's definitely a small matter."
Lin Jie grumbled, "Stop beating around the bush, tell what it is quickly."
Water Buffalo gestured at Lin Jie's surgical gown and said, "You should change your clothes first, I'll wait for you in the communications room."
A dozen minutes later, Lin Jie went through the checkpoint and entered the communications room.
Inside, Water Buffalo raised a stack of dossiers in his hand and imdiately began explaining without delay, "Yesterday while a significant U.S. figure was visiting Africa, they suddenly interrupted their visit and returned to the country urgently."
"According to the U.S. statent, the president urgently called him back to discuss a major matter."
"Based on information we've gathered from various sources, we believe the president is taking the bla, and there's a significant possibility that this person's health has co into question."
"Expert Lin, we would like to ask you to analyze based on the data we have, whether this person's health has truly been compromised?"
"If it is indeed compromised, what illness might they be suffering from?"
"Could this lead to their withdrawal from politics?"
Water Buffalo said solemnly, "Expert Lin, this person is a pivotal figure within the United States Governnt brain trust, especially in crafting U.S. Asia-Pacific policy."
"If we could ascertain their health status, it would effectively aid us in addressing the recent criticisms launched by the U.S."
"I'll do my very best."
Lin Jie reached out to take the thick stack of dossiers handed to him by Water Buffalo, briefly browsed through it, then frowned deeply and said discontentedly, "Water Buffalo, what kind of stuff is this you're giving ?"
"Recent photos from Twitter, video news data, routine habits, schedule, dietary preferences, basic health data published online, and dical records and health check data from ten years ago, etc."
"You want to diagnose the possible illness from yesterday based on this information?"
Water Buffalo awkwardly said, "Expert Lin, this person is closely protected by governnt agents, and their personal health information is top-secret. If we could obtain their recent health check data, we wouldn't need to request your expertise."
"Expert Lin, this is all the information we could acquire related to them."
"Could you give it a try?"
Lin Jie wore a bitter smile, saying, "Water Buffalo, this is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
"Expert Lin, even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, you're a strong magnet..."
