For safety considerations, Lin Jie heeded the advice of Qin Gang and Ling ngjiao, staying in the office and waiting to make an appearance after the police sent by Kong Mingqing handled the matter.
The waiting ti wasn't long, just about half an hour, before a plain-clothed policeman who introduced himself as Liu Gang arrived at the office.
"Expert Lin, through the staff here, we quietly called the doctor nad Zhao Zhiyong outside the hall. When my colleague and I identified ourselves and prepared for a routine check, he looked panicked and showed an intention to flee."
Liu Gang introduced gravely, "My colleague and I imdiately controlled him and found this on him..."
Seeing the long-handled scalpel embedded with surgery blades in his hand, Lin Jie's heart sank.
Although he had the habit of carrying a scalpel due to the lingering effects of the Guangshen hostage incident, it was quite rare for other surgeons to carry such things around.
Zhao Zhiyong carrying the scalpel seed to have a rather obvious purpose.
Liu Gang reassured, "Expert Lin, please don't worry."
"That Zhao Zhiyong is already under tight watch by my colleague and is prepared to be taken back to the police station for detailed questioning."
"Captain Kong specifically instructed to stay by your side before he arrives, to prevent unexpected situations."
Lin Jie politely said, "Officer Liu, thank you for your efforts. Please sit down and take a break first..."
Twenty minutes later, Guan Muhua was the first to arrive.
Ten minutes after that, Kong Mingqing also arrived, replacing Officer Liu Gang.
He also comforted, "Lin Jie, don't worry about this matter."
"Our director is already aware and places great importance on it, ordering to provide you with 24-hour close protection until the matter is clarified."
Lin Jie pointed to Qin Gang and Guan Muhua, saying, "Brother Kong, both of them are forr special soldiers and quite skilled. It's unnecessary to waste police resources on ."
Kong Mingqing, however, solemnly said, "Lin Jie, your identity is not what it used to be. To put it bluntly, if sothing happens to you, the news could directly reach the top leader in Capital City, so we dare not be careless."
"Therefore, this close protection is necessary and mandatory."
"Though Qin Gang and Guan Muhua are skilled, they don't have enforcent powers. With by your side, my identity can facilitate dealing with so matters when needed..."
He hadn't finished speaking when his phone rang.
Kong Mingqing went outside the office to answer the call.
A minute or two later, he returned to the office, with a sowhat complicated expression, saying, "Lin Jie, I just got the news that Zhao Zhiyong was just taken into the nearby police station and imdiately received orders from the director to hand him over to several people with unknown identities."
"Lin Jie, it looks like so special national departnt took over the interrogation of Zhao Zhiyong."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie started to speculate in his heart, "National security, or military personnel?"
Under the covert protection of Kong Mingqing, Qin Gang, and Guan Muhua, Lin Jie returned to the salon event scene.
He engaged in an enthusiastic exchange with fellow dical professionals present, and it wasn't until after 10 pm that the evening's activities concluded.
In the underground parking lot, he heard a screeching brake sound, and imdiately, Lin Jie, surrounded by his protectors, saw An Kexin hurriedly getting out of the car and running anxiously towards him.
He quickly went up to her, and embraced An Kexin.
Feeling the strength of her embrace, Lin Jie gently patted An Kexin's back to comfort her, saying, "It's fine, it's fine. See, I'm perfectly okay!"
Scanning his eyes toward Qin Gang, Ling ngjiao, and others, he said reproachfully, "Didn't I tell you that this matter must not be leaked out?"
Ling ngjiao said evasively, "Lin Jie, other people might not be told, but President An surely has to be inford."
An Kexin released Lin Jie, with a stern face, saying, "That guy was about to show you a scalpel and you still want to keep it from ?"
Lin Jie chuckled, saying, "No one showed a scalpel, it was rely discovered during a search."
"The matter hasn't been investigated clearly. Maybe that guy just wanted to use the scalpel to hurt himself as a bitter ploy, to beg for to spare him, who knows?"
Seeing An Kexin's increasingly serious expression, Lin Jie quickly added, "Alright, alright, in the future, any issues, the first I'll inform you, okay?"
He solemnly advised, "Kexin, don't tell Miaomiao and Keng about this. They are timid and worry unnecessarily."
An Kexin nodded, saying, "I won't tell them, provided that in the future, you don't keep things from ."
"Even if I wanted to hide it from you, I couldn't!"
Lin Jie said light-heartedly, then shifted his gaze to Ling ngjiao, Qin Gang, Guan Muhua, and Kong Mingqing, directly instructing, "This matter must not be passed on to Miaomiao and Keng."
Though his tone was sowhat casual, Ling ngjiao, Qin Gang, and others perceived the unmistakable authority in his words and agreed in unison...
Kong Mingqing led the way in his car while Guan Muhua's car followed behind, protecting Lin Jie in the Presidential One vehicle as they headed back to Xiangtai Apartnt.
Once the vehicle was driving smoothly, An Kexin looked at Lin Jie, who hadn't lost a hair, and felt much more at ease.
She also rembered sothing and said, "Ajie, Dr. Siselda from the Mayo Clinic sent a ssage through a visiting doctor, hoping to have a phone call with you to discuss a case."
Dr. Siselda? Discuss a case?
Lin Jie was imdiately interested and said, "As a top brain surgeon in the United States, the case he wants to discuss must have sothing unique. Give his contact information, and I'll contact him right now."
"Let's use the car's video call; it's more convenient!"
An Kexin operated for a mont, and a large screen rose in front of Lin Jie showing the image of making a call, accompanied by a pleasant ringtone.
The ringtone soon disappeared, and after a slight shake, the screen was filled with the long, thin face of a Caucasian man.
Seeing this familiar face, Lin Jie suddenly felt a bit guilty.
This feeling was like being caught by his grandfather when he couldn't resist sneaking a snack as a child.
Lin Jie knew that his dical knowledge was passed down from Shen Lanruo, but a large part of his neurology knowledge indirectly ca from the prominent figure in front of him.
Now facing the origin, he felt a sense of guilt for taking without telling.
Lin Jie forced a smile on his face and quickly said, "Hello, Dr. Siselda! I heard you wanted to discuss a case?"
On the screen, Siselda nodded and said, "Hello, Dr. Lin!"
He courteously said, "It's not a discussion, to be exact, it's seeking advice."
"Dr. Lin, the influential dical achievents you've made in such a short ti are deeply admirable to ."
Lin Jie modestly said, "Dr. Siselda, saying seeking advice is too much, we're here to mutually explore."
Siselda shook his head and said earnestly, "Dr. Lin, you embody the traditional Chinese virtue of humility. I recall you have an old saying that ans 'one who achieves becos the teacher.'
"Not to ntion your world-class research results, just your surgical standards shown in the craniopagus twins separation surgery, I consider myself inferior."
In fact, it should be 'the student surpasses the master,' Lin Jie privately added such a phrase in his heart.
He appeared to be embarrassed and said, "Dr. Siselda, please don't praise anymore. You are a renowned world-class physician with much I can learn from."
"Let's directly discuss the case!"
Siselda hmd and said, "Dr. Lin, it's like this. I've received a patient."
"The brain tumor is quite complex, and the surgical risk is very high. I've been thinking for a few days that the thod you use of implanting an expander to induce tumor relocation might be worth trying."
"Dr. Lin, I'm here to seek your experience and insights on using this thod to treat that chieftain."
Lin Jie smiled slightly and said, "Using this thod to treat the chieftain's brain tumor, I was also feeling my way across the river, can't say for sure I've mastered it, the chieftain's future is also uncertain."
"Dr. Siselda, let's explore this together."
Following that, Lin Jie sent over a lot of imaging data to Siselda, detailing the various issues he encountered while treating the chieftain's brain tumor and his solutions, while occasionally answering the other party's questions.
Ti slipped away quietly during their exchange.
When Lin Jie finished his explanation, he realized the car had already stopped at the underground parking lot of Xiangtai Apartnt.
"Dr. Lin, thank you for your generous narrative, it benefited a lot."
After Siselda expressed his gratitude, he continued, "Dr. Lin, I've studied the cases of cranial surgery you've made public."
He hesitated for a mont and continued, "Forgive my boldness, but watching your surgery gives an inexplicable sense of familiarity, like watching a younger, more skilled version of myself performing surgery."
Lin Jie thought to himself, in a sense, I'm your enhanced composite version, how could you not feel familiar?
He playfully said, "Dr. Siselda, we have a saying in China called 'all paths lead to the sa goal, the great way is united,' which ans when your skills reach the highest level, they all simplify, beco almost identical."
Siselda pondered for a mont before he understood the aning translated to English by Lin Jie, then laughed heartily and said, "Chinese culture is deeply symbolic and philosophical."
"What you said makes sense, all roads lead to Ro, reaching the end, everything is the sa."
"Dr. Lin, thank you again!"
"If you need anything from in the future, please don't hesitate..."
Lin Miao and An Keng were sowhat surprised to see so many people return together, but were brushed off by Lin Jie needing to discuss so specific wedding arrangents.
After a late-night snack, Qin Gang, Guan Muhua, and Kong Mingqing all stayed at Xiangtai Apartnt to rest…
The next morning, as everyone was having breakfast, several unexpected guests arrived at the house.
The two leading the group were familiar to Lin Jie, one was Water Buffalo from the National Security Departnt, and the other was General ng Yang from the Veterans Affairs Center.
