"You concluded just based on a previous online post that he...this..."

Lin Jie held her hand, comforting her, "It's okay, my memory won't fail. You have to trust, if I say there's a problem, then there is a problem."

Seeing An Kexin's expression relax slightly, Lin Jie suddenly felt playful and said, "Even if it's false, so what?"

"After this commotion, Daniel Li certainly can't continue as the director of the Tongren Hospital West Branch."

"Han Wenbin can't do anything to me either, at most I'll promise to lend a hand a few more times!"

An Kexin puffed her cheeks in anger, glared at Lin Jie for a while, then tried to calm herself and advised, "Although the Fu Family is making a big show of helping you this time, and it might intimidate many once word spreads, the Fu Family doesn't dominate everything in Binhai."

An Kexin sternly warned, "Lin Jie, you absolutely must not think that from now on you can rest easy."

"The Han Family rose through smuggling, and still retain some of their rogue ways. If they act recklessly, it's quite troublesome."

"I know, I know!"

Lin Jie squeezed An Kexin's hand again, laughing, "I was just teasing you earlier. I can confirm that the information is correct."

"The details in that post were very thorough, involving several specific transactions. The possibility of it being fabricated is very low, so I'm sure this time there won't be an opportunity for Han Wenbin to act."

But An Kexin withdrew her hand, ignoring Lin Jie, and started eating her wonton noodles with a stern face.

Seeing she seemed genuinely angry, Lin Jie awkwardly chuckled and also began to eat in silence.

A few minutes later, both finished their noodles!

An Kexin stood up to clean, unable to resist asking with some worry, "That Luo Wantong, and that one at Limin Hospital, you haven't planned a way to deal with them too, have you?"

Lin Jie hurriedly shook his head, saying, "I'm aware of my limits. These two, especially Luo Wantong, are not people I can deal with at the moment."

"I can only hope that one day they need my help."

Seeing Lin Jie hadn't lost his sense, An Kexin quietly sighed in relief, smiling, "Who are you, Lin Jie?"

"You are someone unmatched, they will eventually come to you, and then give it to them hard!"

Lin Jie slightly frowned.

He clearly felt that An Kexin was holding back her emotions a bit, seemingly hesitant to speak her mind fully.

Understanding the reason somewhat, Lin Jie walked behind An Kexin, embraced her, and softly said, "Kexin, I'm sorry!"

An Kexin's body lightly trembled. Playing confused, she asked, "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you apologizing for?"

Lin Jie's chin rested on her shoulder, slowly saying, "I shouldn't have hidden this matter from you and Uncle An."

"Kexin, you have to believe me, I have no doubts about you, Uncle An, or Professor Chen!"

"I just... I just..."

After "just" for a while, Lin Jie couldn't articulate a reason.

An Kexin interjected, "No need to explain, I understand."

"Anyone would think more when suddenly realizing this was a ruse, especially since it involves my cousin..."

Lin Jie hurriedly said, "It's not because of your cousin, to put it simply, I just want to prove my capability."

"Prove yourself?"

This time, An Kexin was genuinely puzzled. She turned to look at Lin Jie, asking, "You are already the most outstanding surgeon in the country, even internationally. This is acknowledged by many who know the details!"

Lin Jie shook his head, "That's not what I mean."

"A few days ago, I was invited to a luncheon at the Fu Family and met several true young elites. Compared to them, besides surgical skills, the gap is comprehensive."

Lin Jie looked into An Kexin's eyes, a bit deflated, "Take you for example, managing companies, funds, establishing hospitals, you're tremendously skilled."

"I wanted to prove through this that I can accomplish things beyond surgery, to be worthy of you."

An Kexin felt slightly amused yet understood it was a sign of Lin Jie's insecurity.

Her heart suddenly ached a bit, and she hugged Lin Jie tightly, comforting him, "You've already achieved the pinnacle in surgery, you're one of the few most outstanding people in the world."

"In my heart, you're the best, no one can surpass you, and there's nothing you need to prove to me!"

In that moment, Lin Jie felt as if the whole world was embracing him, immensely fulfilling...

However, this feeling didn't last long before it was abruptly interrupted by a ringing phone.

"...The surgery went well? That's great news, thank you for all your hard work!"

After An Kexin hung up, Lin Jie noticed she didn't seem very happy, asking, "You just successfully saved a patient, but you don't seem too pleased?"

An Kexin rubbed her temple and explained, "I'm worried about the charity fund's finances."

"Put it this way, recently, the fund has been receiving an increasing number of aid applications, but donations have significantly decreased."

"At the current rate of assistance and spending, the fund will be depleted within a year."

Lin Jie softly asked, "Online donations and fundraising efforts haven't gone well?"

An Kexin nodded, "The online buzz caused by you faded quickly. Now, the donations from enthusiastic netizens have dropped to just a few dozen or even a few yuan a day."
