Facing Shijing Mountain's accusation, Lin Jie did not respond directly. Instead, he pulled up an assignment from a folder on his laptop and projected it onto the screen.

"Shijing Mountain, this is your assignment."

Lin Jie commented approvingly, "I have to say, it's quite impressive. It's the one with the most words, totaling over twenty-six thousand. Purely looking at this assignment, it's the most comprehensive of all submissions, listing the most diseases."

Upon hearing this, Shijing Mountain snorted and mocked, "Is it because my assignment is too outstanding, beyond your imagination? Or maybe the types of diseases listed here exceed your knowledge?"

"Are you jealous?"

Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "I wish that were the case. The problem is, there's quite a distance from your work to the standard I would recognize, let alone make me jealous."

He added another remark, saying mercilessly, "I estimate that even if you worked hard your whole life, you couldn't make up that difference."

Not interested in watching Shijing Mountain's bulging forehead, Lin Jie turned around, pointed at the projection, and said, "In this assignment, diseases causing lung damage are methodically divided into three parts."

"The first part is primary diseases leading to lung damage; the second part involves various respiratory and infectious diseases causing lung damage; the third part covers damage from other organ diseases affecting the lungs."

Lin Jie operated the computer and projected a document he had prepared long ago onto the screen.

"Here, I've extracted three parts from the assignment, describing specific aspects of lung damage. Can anyone spot the problem in there?"

Lin Jie immediately noticed Xiao Ganghao, who looked rugged like Zhang Fei, revealing a mysterious smile. He immediately called him out: "Xiao Ganghao, I see you seem to have some thoughts. Share them!"

Xiao Ganghao spoke, "Teacher Lin, since you mentioned me, I'll share my humble opinion."

He further explained, "This is my personal opinion; it may not be correct. It's just for the teacher and classmates to consider."

"The teacher selected five lung damage descriptions from each section and matched them with the descriptions in the other two sections."

"Upon careful analysis, we find that although the terminologies differ, essentially, the three corresponding descriptions of lung damage are actually the same symptom's examination signs."

Xiao Ganghao chuckled and said, "Describing the examination signs of the same symptom with three different medical terms. One or two instances might be acceptable, but having five, possibly more, in the same assignment..."

"Maybe... maybe... this assignment wasn't completed by a single person!"

Observing Shijing Mountain's facial color change dramatically, Lin Jie sneered, "Or maybe, Shijing Mountain is just showing off his encyclopedic knowledge."

"Professor Chen always says that Binhai University is never short of various talents."

"Let's do this, so as not to wrong anyone..."

Lin Jie proposed seriously, "We could invite a linguistic expert from the university, as recommended by Professor Chen, to conduct a professional analysis on the word choice, structure, and grammar characteristics of these three parts."

"Let the linguistic expert determine whether this assignment was written by one person or not!" He looked at the dark-faced Shijing Mountain and mockingly asked, "Shijing Mountain, what do you say, is this a good idea?"

"No need! As they say, if you want to punish someone, there's always a way!"

Shijing Mountain, without a hint of panic, coldly replied, "You are favored by the mentors and a celebrity in the college. No one would dare risk offending you by standing with a minor figure like me and speaking for me."

Resigned, like someone whose spirit was utterly crushed, he said, "Enough, you just don't want me in your class, and I'll grant that for you, I'll leave right now!"

It sounded as if Shijing Mountain had been framed by Lin Jie, forced by overwhelming external pressure, to suffer and endure the humiliation.

Seeing his pitiful state, Lin Jie got angry and wasn't about to let it go. Plus, Lin Jie had formed a rather bad impression of Shijing Mountain because of the Lai Haoming incident.

With a raised brow, Lin Jie asked Shijing Mountain, who had packed his things and was about to leave, "Shijing Mountain, were you with Professor Chen all afternoon at the Affiliated Hospital on Monday?"

"Of course! You can verify that with the mentor!" Shijing Mountain replied disdainfully.

Lin Jie nodded, "I also heard that on Monday night, you were out with some fellow townsmen and only returned to the dorm around ten?"

Shijing Mountain's face turned sullen, and he angrily asked, "Lin Jie, do you also intend to meddle with what I do in my personal time?"

Lin Jie laughed, waved a hand, and said, "Why would I be so free as to care about what you do in your leisure time! I just discovered the issue with this assignment. Afraid of wronging you, I did a little investigation."

"This assignment, as you can see, is a total of over twenty-six thousand words. I just want to ask, Shijing Mountain, how many words can you type in an hour? Two thousand, three thousand, or five thousand?"

"Let me ask you, on Monday, during which time period did you complete this assignment?"

This question made everyone in the classroom suddenly realize.

Not being a professional stenographer or typist, and needing to think about the answers intermittently, typing one or two thousand words per hour on average is already a great speed.

Calculating like this, these more than twenty-six thousand words would at least require ten hours.

Analyzing Shijing Mountain's Monday timeline, he simply didn't have enough time to complete this assignment.

Shijing Mountain's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gave Lin Jie a deep look, turned to face everyone in the classroom, and loudly said, "You might not believe this, but I still need to explain!"

"The assignment Lin Jie gave coincidentally aligns with similar summaries I made during my over twenty years of medical study and work experience!"

"I can also tell you that this summary wasn't made at the same time. The earliest one was seven or eight years ago, and the most recent was a year ago."

"On Monday, I had a lot on my plate. When I got back to the dormitory, I realized I had no time to do this assignment, so I had to piece together my previous summaries."

"Due to tight time constraints, I didn't conduct a detailed check or revision and just sent it out via email, leading to examination signs of the same injury symptoms being described with different medical terms."

"I have to admit, this assignment was indeed a perfunctory work of mine."

"However..."

Shijing Mountain righteously declared, "I have absolutely never asked anyone to ghostwrite this assignment; for this, I am willing to vouch with my character."

He generously said, "Everyone, we've known each other for quite some time."

"Some for as short as a year, others for two or three years. Everyone has a scale in their hearts. You should have a fair understanding of what kind of person I, Shijing Mountain, am."

He suddenly turned and pointed at Lin Jie, shouting, "Do you believe this Lin Jie, who caused a storm as soon as the semester began, or do you believe in me who has always been with you? You decide for yourself."

"If you believe me, then follow me and let Lin Jie do as he pleases! I don't believe the mentor will tolerate his nonsense!"

"Believe me and come with me!"

Accompanying these words, Shijing Mountain swung his arm forcefully and strode out of the classroom like a triumphant victor.

Believe it or not, someone followed him out.

Among those originally standing, except for Ma Hongmin, all followed Shijing Mountain out of the classroom.

Including the standing Ma Hongmin, fifteen people remained in the classroom. Lin Jie furrowed his brow and tempting said, "Those I haven't named, if you find me likable but are dissatisfied with my actions, you can also leave, and I won't mind."

"Rest assured, even those who left earlier, I won't report to Professor Chen. If you don't want to accept my nonsense, you can really leave and won't face any repercussions later."

Fang Huanru couldn't help but speak up, a bit resentfully, "Teacher Lin, you seem eager for all of us to leave. How unwilling you are to teach us!"

Lin Jie nodded and bluntly said, "Honestly, it's not that I'm unwilling, but there are too many of you. My energy is limited, and I can only take care of seven or eight people at most."

This statement made the remaining people in the classroom uneasy, each looking at those around them warily, realizing they were competitors hindering their own stay.

"Teacher Lin, I won't leave! Please don't ask me to go. I want to stay and listen to your lecture!" Ma Hongmin said with a choked-up voice.

Lin Jie softly replied, "As I've said, those I've named can stay and audit. Since you chose not to leave, you've earned the right to audit. Please, sit down."

"Everyone..."

Seeing no one else leave, Lin Jie solemnly warned, "The study of medical knowledge leaves no room for perfunctoriness or deceit. Any carelessness now might eventually cost a patient their life."

"With me, each of you has only one chance, so don't hope for repentance or a second chance."

"Imagine this: in the future, your negligence leads to a patient's death. Will that deceased patient have the chance to come back to life?"

Lin Jie said with utmost seriousness, "Life only happens once, and your opportunity also only comes once. Remember this well; you need to dedicate yourself fully to completing every task I assign."

"Now, let's begin the class. I'll be discussing the lung organ..."
