When Lin Jie said "Not part of the training plan," the faces of Shijing Mountain and others suddenly turned gloomy.

However, one person's actions were rather straightforward, as Yu Jingsheng packed up his notebook and pen from the desk without a word and walked towards the door.

As he opened the classroom door, Yu Jingsheng paused and said, "Our mentor is Professor Chen, not someone who doesn't know their place, wielding a feather as a command arrow."

"Is anyone coming with me?"

To his hope, two people moved slightly, but seeing that the standing Shijing Mountain, Gao Lijian, and others did not take further action, they stopped.

Yu Jingsheng gently shook his head and left the classroom alone.

Shijing Mountain loudly accused, "Junior Brother Lin, the mentor asked you to substitute teach. This is a sign of trust and recognition, not for you to play house and fool around."

Lin Jie sneered lightly and said, "You all seem to have forgotten Professor Chen's instructions. I am fully in charge. This means I can do as I see fit."

"Of course, I wouldn't remove you from my training plan without reason. It's because you yourselves don't value it."

Shijing Mountain's brows knitted into a knot, "Don't value it? What do you mean by that?"

"Lin Jie, you'd better give a clear explanation, or even if the mentor appreciates your talent, neither the college nor the university will let you fool around."

Lin Jie just chuckled and mockingly said, "The college and university will manage me? Shijing Mountain, did you get up too early today and not fully awaken? It's really a joke."

"Although Professor Chen appointed me to substitute teach, in essence, this course isn't recognized by the college or the university."

"Hmm, in other words, you can treat this course as a study interest group that I'm hosting."

"With that said, Shijing Mountain, you should be a bit clearer now!"

"It's just a study group. Naturally, I can do as I please."

Saying this, Lin Jie withdrew his mocking expression and solemnly said, "Even so, I'll give you an explanation to let you understand why you've lost the qualification and opportunity to be nurtured and guided by me."

"Yu Jingsheng, Ding Ye, Xu Ye!"

When Lin Jie mentioned these names, another person stood up from his seat, vaguely remembering this was Ding Ye.

He said in a deep voice, "These three did not submit their assignments, which were assigned on Monday morning, before the deadline and offered no explanations. I think for such independent, individualistic people, they don't need my guidance. They can make their own way."

"I... I..."

Ding Ye stammered for a while and eventually couldn't give a reason. He packed up his things and left the classroom.

Following behind him was Xu Ye.

"Ma Hongmin!"

Lin Jie called another name, and a nervous-looking girl stood up.

"The homework you submitted only described seventeen types of lung injury. If this is truly your level, I would immediately advise Professor Chen to dismiss you."

Seeing Ma Hongmin's eyes begin to redden and tears welling up, Lin Jie continued, "I also don't believe a second-year graduate student has such limited abilities. I can only assume you're trying to fob me off."

"You fob me off; I fob you off. Isn't that fair?"

Lin Jie looked towards Shijing Mountain, Gao Lijian, and others, and laughed, "As for you guys, your submitted work was barely passable, just about meeting your education levels."

"But, whether copying from books or searching online knowledge..."

He sneered, "Do you also need to check books and ask Baidu when rescuing patients in the hospital? The purpose of this assignment was to understand your baseline."

"Through this assignment, it has shown me that you lack strict self-discipline. Traits of cutting corners and cheating are especially disliked by me."

"Therefore, I've excluded you..."

Before he could finish, someone shouted, "Junior Brother Lin, I guarantee, I didn't cheat!"

Another person stood up, indignant, saying, "I can also guarantee, I didn't cheat!"

"Accusing us of cheating? You need real evidence!"

"You're insulting our character..."

With this, everyone named by Lin Jie stood up, either promising earnestly or demanding Lin Jie to produce solid evidence.

Otherwise, this won't end!

Lin Jie watched as the voices got louder and emotions heightened, rhythmically knocking on the lecture desk.

Once the classroom returned to silence, he pointed to a man closest to him and asked, "You, what's your name?"

"Zhang Haodong! Zhang Haodong! Zhang Haodong!"

This man repeated three times with indignation, "We've met at least three times and eaten together twice, and we spoke each time. You still can't remember my name."

"I really doubt your memory!"

Lin Jie said blandly, "I can tell you, my memory is excellent, I just choose not to remember irrelevant things."

"Not remembering your name simply means you didn't leave a deep impression. Or, you weren't significant enough for me to deliberately memorize!"

Just as Zhang Haodong's face turned ashen, Lin Jie suddenly said, "Ah, I remember your homework."

"Hmm, not bad, very good! I know you have a copy of Dr. Konrad Adenauer's 'Pulmonary Medicine and Clinical Diagnosis'!"

Lin Jie looked at the rest and said, "Remember, this book is a must-read for you. If you don't have it, you can ask Zhang Haodong after class where to buy it, or you can get a copy."

Zhang Haodong's face flushed red, shouting, "Lin Jie, the content of my homework largely comes from this book. But I read it frequently and have memorized its content."

"When I wrote the homework, it was purely from memory. I didn't review the book again, absolutely not!" Zhang Haodong's voice grew hoarse.

Lin Jie acknowledged, saying, "My hearing is good, you don't need to shout."

"Whether you memorized it or copied from the book, we'll need to verify it now. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize."

Lin Jie laughed lightly, "I'll start, you repeat your homework content, okay!"

"Lobar pneumonia, X-ray appearance, twelve hours after onset, the lobar shadow gradually becomes patchy and then evolves into strip-like shadow..."

Lin Jie pointed at Zhang Haodong, saying, "One, two, three, your turn!"

Zhang Haodong mumbled, protesting, "I'm nervous, I can't recall right now."

"Lin Jie, you should know that memory is influenced by various factors. I can't recall now doesn't mean I couldn't when doing the homework."

"You do have a point!"

Lin Jie nodded in agreement.

He took out his laptop, connected it to the classroom projector, turned it on, and projected Zhang Haodong's homework onto the screen!

Everyone saw that Lin Jie had marked over thirty places on this assignment.

"Zhang Haodong, your assignment has seven sections, about 1,600 words, that match the content of 'Pulmonary Medicine and Clinical Diagnosis' word for word, even the punctuation."

"Can you provide an explanation?"

"Or do you have photographic memory, remembering every detail flawlessly?"

Under the scrutiny of many in the classroom, Zhang Haodong didn't explain further, simply packed his belongings, and left the classroom.

Lin Jie's gaze calmly swept over the remaining standing individuals, some of whom began to avoid eye contact with him.

"Is there anyone else among you who questions my judgment?" Lin Jie asked.

"I!"

Shijing Mountain waved his arms, shouting excitedly, "I swear by my parents, my homework was neither plagiarized from books nor sourced from Baidu!"

"Lin Jie, I know my pleading for Lai Haoming earlier this year angered you and incurred your resentment. If you don't want me in your class, fine, just tell me privately."

"But, I won't allow you to slander me with accusations of cheating, you're deliberately maligning me!"

Shijing Mountain declared forcefully, "I refuse to accept this!"

"Lin Jie, you'd better find concrete evidence of my cheating, or I'll pursue an explanation!"
