The person who ca to express gratitude on behalf of the Guo Family was the current head, Guo Baosheng.
Along with him was his second son, Xiaobao's father, Guo Changlin.
Xiaobao is still receiving treatnt at a hospital in Hong Kong Island. The rescued Guo Fenhan undoubtedly also needs psychological intervention and family comfort.
At this mont, the head of the Guo Family, accompanied by his son, made a special visit to express their gratitude shortly after Lin Jie awoke, showing their sincerity.
After mutual introductions, the nearly seventy-year-old but looking like he's in his fifties Guo Baosheng expressed his gratitude, "Dr. Lin, your heroic and fearless acts, my daughter has already told us everything."
"Thanks to your great kindness, my daughter was able to escape danger and Xiaobao's life was saved. Thank you."
Guo Changlin echoed, "We are grateful for Dr. Lin's benevolent heart and skillful hands, allowing my sister and Xiaobao to return to us once more."
Lin Jie politely replied, "There's no need for such formality. To be fair, I was also just trying to save myself."
He then asked with concern, "How is Xiaobao's condition at present?"
Guo Baosheng explained, "Xiaobao has already awakened, and his life is not in danger."
"Dr. Tan at Yanghe Hospital told us that fortunately, Dr. Lin, you perford tily decompression that removed a lot of clotted blood, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"However..."
Guo Baosheng sighed and said, "Xiaobao still has a significant amount of residual clotted blood in his brain, affecting his vision, hearing, and intelligence."
"Dr. Tan says that currently, we can only use conservative therapy to dissolve the clots in Xiaobao's brain."
"After so ti, we will decide on further surgery based on Xiaobao's recovery and the dissolution of the clots."
Lin Jie had already anticipated this outco.
Relatively speaking, this result is quite mild.
After all, with brain swelling for such an extended period and possibly undergoing many rough transfers, the brain could not have been undamaged.
Seeing that the Guo family did not indicate they wanted him to step in, Lin Jie certainly did not foolishly offer himself.
Guo Baosheng, brushing away so darkness from his face, gratefully said, "No matter what, without Dr. Lin, my grandson might not have survived, and my daughter might have lost her life."
"This life-saving kindness, my Guo Family will forever rember."
"Here is a small token of appreciation, not even one-tenth of your kindness, but please graciously accept it."
As Guo Baosheng spoke, a solemn-faced middle-aged man following him brought a small suitcase to Lin Jie's bedside.
"Dr. Lin, to be honest with you, the ransom demanded by the kidnappers was three hundred kilograms of gold, and they forbade us from contacting the police."
Guo Baosheng shook his head and said, "Without arousing police suspicion, we couldn't gather so much gold in such a short ti."
"This suitcase contains fifty kilograms of gold, please, Dr. Lin, do accept it."
It turned out to be fifty kilograms of gold.
Just earlier, Lin Jie thought it was filled with money.
"Fifty kilograms of gold, equivalent to..."
With the current market gold price around 340, such simple calculation was not difficult for Lin Jie, and he quickly arrived at a figure.
Seventeen million!
Clang.
Seventeen million worth of gold placed right in front of you—to offer it to you, wouldn't you be tempted?
No matter if others were tempted, Lin Jie, who had already amassed so wealth, certainly was.
Feigning a couple of refusals, Lin Jie, overwheld by their enthusiasm, accepted this sincere token of appreciation.
After sending off the Guo family, Lin Jie quickly asked Lin Miao to open the suitcase.
Seeing the suitcase filled with glittering, one-kilogram standard gold bars, Lin Jie instantly felt much lighter as if the slight fever was cleansed by the power of wealth.
Holding a gold bar in each hand, experiencing the feeling of being struck by gold, Lin Jie recalled sothing and said, "Miaomiao, Kexin, Sister Xiaoxiao, without Guan Muhua's sacrifice this ti, I might have been dead."
"These gold bars belong to him..."
"Sister Xiaoxiao, call Guan Muhua and Qin Gang, and please have them co over."
Two to three minutes later, Guan Muhua and Qin Gang arrived at the ward.
Seeing several bandaged wounds on Guan Muhua, Lin Jie asked with concern, "How are you feeling? What did the doctor say?"
Guan Muhua moved his left arm and said, "These are minor injuries, nothing serious."
"In the army, these kinds of wounds usually only needed so antiseptic solution, not even bandaging."
He then asked with concern, "Dr. Lin, are you alright?"
Lin Jie smiled lightly, "I'm fine too. Going through such an event for the first ti, it was hard to not feel ntally affected."
"With the danger gone and the mind relaxed, the body slightly rebelled."
"After sleeping for such a long ti, I've already recovered."
Saying this, Lin Jie pointed to the suitcase beside him and said, "The Guo family just ca and brought a token of appreciation."
"There's a share in there for you. Without your tily action, my life could have ended."
"Kexin, Miaomiao, give ten gold bricks to Guan Muhua!"
Upon Lin Jie's instructions, An Kexin and Lin Miao each took out five gold bricks from the suitcase...
"Dr. Lin, I cannot accept this!"
Guan Muhua vehently declined, "Young Master Ye instructed to do everything possible to protect your safety. This is my duty, how could I accept extra reward?"
"Furthermore, placing you in such a dangerous situation was my negligence."
"Strictly speaking, what I did was part of my job, also an act of redemption."
Guan Muhua said earnestly, "Judging by rits and faults, I am more at fault, having put your life in mortal danger."
Standing by, Qin Gang, wearing a complex expression, also spoke, "The fault does not lie with Guan Muhua alone, it is shared by us both."
Lin Jie gently waved his hand and said, "This isn't your fault."
He reflected with emotion, "Who could have known, soone who looked at with admiration all day and went out of their way to host us, would turn into a cold-blooded villain by nightfall?"
"So, it's not your fault. It can only be said that the enemies were too cunning."
"Guan Muhua..."
Lin Jie continued persuading, "I ntioned before, this is a token of gratitude from the Guo Family."
"You contributed to rescuing those two people from the Guo Family."
"My life is very valuable too. Saving , even if it is your duty, deserves a reward."
An Kexin also spoke up, "Guan Muhua, this is sothing you deserve, just take it."
"Besides, this gold bar is very heavy. Are you just going to let and Miaomiao carry it like this?"
Under everyone's persuasion, Guan Muhua finally accepted the gold bar.
Lin Jie then turned his gaze to Qin Gang and said, "Qin Gang, I never doubt it, if you and Guan Muhua switched places, you would have stood up too."
"It's just that you didn't get the chance to show yourself this ti."
Lin Jie chuckled and continued, "This ti, I narrowly escaped death and received a generous reward."
"In a way, this is sothing worth celebrating. Everyone should enjoy a share of the reward."
He looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, smiling happily, "Sister Xiaoxiao, today everyone who sees it gets a share."
"Take a gold bar for yourself and also one for Qin Gang!"
"So you're really dividing gold with a big scale, huh." Zhang Xiaoxiao glared at Lin Jie.
She knew in her heart that Lin Jie was finding an excuse to give a gold bar to Qin Gang.
It's not poverty one fears, but inequality.
Though Guan Muhua earned ten gold bars as a lifesaving reward, seeing this, Qin Gang, an old-tir, might feel a bit uneasy.
However, with Qin Gang's performance in this matter, giving him a gold bar out of the blue could strongly feel like charity.
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought that Lin Jie's approach was simple and straightforward, with an obvious intent, but at least he gave a reason that wouldn't embarrass Qin Gang.
She nodded secretly, Lin Jie had finally matured and learned to weigh people's hearts.
Zhang Xiaoxiao pretended to look amazed, placing a gold bar on her chest, while tossing another gold bar to Qin Gang.
Qin Gang caught the gold bar with his hand, his face turning bright red, and said, "This... this... Lin Jie, I don't deserve this..."
Lin Jie laughed and said, "Take it, it's yours."
"Actually, consider it as a wedding gift for you and Yang Leyi."
"Take it, use it to buy so jewelry for your aunt and wife."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Qin Gang said excitedly, "Lin Jie, rest assured, next ti, you just watch my performance..."
Realizing he misspoke,
Seeing Lin Jie intentionally diverting the attention, Qin Gang signaled to Guan Mujie, whispering, "Shall we leave first?"
Guan Mujie nodded.
He looked at Lin Jie and said, "Dr. Lin, Young Master Ye already knows about this incident."
"He asked to tell you that the issue with those players can be postponed until you are ready."
Lin Jie thought for a mont, shook his head, and said, "No need to postpone, proceed as originally planned."
Upon hearing this, An Kexin imdiately objected, "No way! Absolutely not!"
"A'Jie, you need rest. Work can wait until you've fully recovered."
Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao also earnestly expressed their support for An Kexin.
Lin Jie sighed and said softly, "For , work is the best kind of rest."
"Taking on job after job lets avoid thinking about many unpleasant mories."
As An Kexin, Lin Miao, and Zhang Xiaoxiao continued to express objections, Guan Mujie spoke again, "President An, Lin Miao, Zhang Xiaoxiao, I also support Dr. Lin's suggestion."
"Sotis, busy work is the best dicine for psychological recovery."
Hearing this, An Kexin pondered, temporarily stopping Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao from continuing to object.
An Kexin warmly saw Guan Mujie and Qin Gang out of the ward.
Once in the hallway, An Kexin pulled Guan Mujie aside.
Taking him alone to the stairwell, An Kexin asked seriously, "Guan Mujie, throughout this whole incident, you've been evasive, and A'Jie won't tell us, the police are also keeping it secret."
"Tell , what exactly happened?"
"I'm A'Jie's fiancée, I have the right to know everything that happens to him."
Guan Mujie fell silent for a mont, then nodded, "Alright, I'll tell you, but don't be afraid."
He lowered his voice and said slowly, "There were four assailants in total. Besides the one I took care of, the other three..."
"The other three were all taken down by Dr. Lin himself."
Hiss...
An Kexin couldn't help but gasp.
With Lin Jie's build, killing soone, even three people? At first glance, it seed ridiculous.
Guan Muhua continued, "The first ti killing soone up close with bare hands has a huge psychological impact."
"For many people, it's a nightmare that requires a long ti to recover from."
"At the ti, I myself..."
Guan Mujie smiled awkwardly and said, "Now isn't the ti to talk about , the duration of this adaptation process varies from person to person."
He said sowhat puzzled, "Perhaps because Dr. Lin is a doctor who is accustod to life and death, he has a strong ntal resilience, I keep feeling his adaptation to this is a bit too quick."
"In any case, I suggest closely monitoring Dr. Lin's ntal and emotional state during this period."
