Sweaty Lin Jie hadn't even reached the small building when An Kemeng's voice came from the rooftop, "Brother Jie, hurry up and take a shower. I've already ordered breakfast, it will be delivered soon!"

After showering, Lin Jie changed clothes and went to the rooftop, finding An Kemeng and Lin Miao setting up breakfast.

On the table were seafood porridge, shrimp and egg pancakes, pan-fried fish pieces, refreshing vegetables, a small plate of flower rolls, delicately shaped pastries, and three boxes of ice cream.

This could be considered a relatively homely breakfast.

An Kemeng giggled and said, "We've had seafood feasts for the past few days, getting a bit tired of it. Let's cleanse our stomachs with this! Here you go!"

Lin Jie took the chopsticks she handed over, sat down, and nodded, "The breakfast is well-chosen. It looks very appetizing. Just don't eat the ice cream right after the meal."

"Got it!"

An Kemeng obediently responded and sat down too, but as she sat in the chair, she grimaced a bit in pain.

This scene was noticed by Lin Jie, who realized what was happening and laughed gleefully, "Is your leg hurting? It must hurt, right?"

"I warned you long ago not to ride horses for so long. You not only ignored it but also complained the horse wasn't fast enough. This is what happens when you don't listen to the advice of your elders; you suffer the consequences."

Seeing Lin Jie's annoying demeanor, An Kemeng's face turned red with anger. She huffed and made a fist as if she was about to wipe away tears, whimsically saying, "Sister Miaomiao, my leg already hurts a lot, and he's still mocking me. Please, do something about him!"

Lin Miao gave Lin Jie a laughing glance and said, "Brother, aren't you a bit too old to be acting like a child!"

She then comforted An Kemeng, "Alright, Kemeng, let's ignore him and eat first! After breakfast, I'll massage you, and it won't hurt anymore."

With the cool sea breeze and an unobstructed ocean view, this breakfast was quite pleasant to eat.

After breakfast, An Kemeng lay on a reclined sunbed while Lin Miao massaged her waist and legs. Lin Jie asked, "What do you both want to do today? Have you thought of anything yet?"

An Kemeng lifted her head and said, "After playing for several days, I'm a bit tired, Sister Miaomiao. Let's go to the hotel for a spa today, watch a movie, and buy some souvenirs for friends, taking it easy for the day. How about that?"

Lin Miao agreed, "Very nice, I like it! We can also take leisurely walks by the sea, swim, and sunbathe."

She turned to Lin Jie, "Brother, in that case, you don't need to accompany us today. You have a day off. You can do whatever you want to do. Any plans?"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, my plan is to sleep! Accompanying you two, running around these days, is tiring for me, you know?"

After the massage ended, Lin Miao and An Kemeng finished their ice cream, left Lin Jie, and walked hand in hand toward the resort's five-star hotel.

Lin Jie's rest plan hadn't materialized yet when he received a call from Ye Hongqing.

Ye Hongqing's voice sounded a bit worried, "Brother Lin, these past few days I've contacted many places. Currently, the operating room and plan at Donghua Hospital are the most reliable, but borrowing this operating room isn't easy."

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lin Jie frowned.

Tao Taqing's plan seemed good on the surface but was just for fooling outsiders. Once they identify the surgical team, his true identity as the chief surgeon will naturally be known.

"Let me think about it!"

After hanging up with Ye Hongqing, Lin Jie pondered for a while and decided to call Chen Shi.

As the saying goes, 'Ginger gets spicier with age.' Old Chen's experience and wisdom are beyond his reach.

The call connected quickly, and Chen Shi's familiar voice immediately came through, "Calling me during your vacation break usually doesn't mean anything good. Quickly, tell me what's up."

Lin Jie said flatteringly, "You're wise and high-minded, so I am especially calling to consult you on something!"

"I'm not falling for that. Get to the point quickly and don't waste my time!"

After chuckling awkwardly, Lin Jie narrated all the recent actions of Ye Hongqing, Tao Taqing's plan, and his own concerns to Chen Shi in detail.

After a brief silence, Chen Shi asked leisurely on the phone, "Kid, do you really think you've been hiding what you've done all this time pretty well?"

"I think so. Other than a few of you, outsiders shouldn't know everything about me!" Lin Jie replied somewhat confusedly.

Chen Shi chuckled, "Kid, don't underestimate others."

"During that assessment, you showed most of your ability. If they piece together the rumors about you and consider them, many would realize a big part of what Hu Yitong said is true."

He took a deep breath and said, "Do you know how many old fellows have been openly or secretly probing me about your background these past times?"

"Lin Jie, they have already convinced themselves about ninety percent that it's you. The only uncertainty is that they haven't seen it with their own eyes."

Lin Jie was a bit dumbfounded, thinking he had been hiding his strength well, but it turned out everyone already knew. They were just playing along without exposing him.

He couldn't help asking, "Then why..."

"Why haven't they exposed you or suppressed you, cutting off your future?"

Chen Shi sighed and said, "First, speculation is just speculation. They have no solid evidence. Second, they all cherish and value talent. People like Hu Yitong, driven by selfishness, are just a few."

"These old fellows all hope immensely for you to grow and make a more prominent name for our country's medical prowess on the world stage."

Chen Shi continued, "Regarding this matter, I guess that old fox Tao Taqing has already speculated that the chief surgeon Ye Hongqing found is you."

"I have a good relationship with Tao Taqing and understand his character; he won't do anything shady. I'll contact him and tell him that the chief surgeon of this operation will nominally be me."

"Thank you!"

At that moment, Lin Jie didn't know what to say and could only reply with the simplest two words of thanks.

Chen Shi laughed heartily and said, "Kid, I'm your teacher, so there's no need to be so polite between us. Plus, this matter involves saving a person's life. I'm also a doctor with the responsibility to heal and save lives."

After hanging up, Lin Jie calmed down and called Ye Hongqing back, telling him to use Donghua Hospital's operating room and proceed according to Tao Taqing's plan.

With that decision made, Lin Jie felt a weight lifted from his mind and went to his room to rest.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but in a daze, he seemed to hear chaotic footsteps and the noise of rummaging through things.
