The next morning, around ten o'clock, Qin Gang drove Lin Jie to the Fu Family Mansion once again.

This visit was specifically for Lin Jie to express his gratitude to the Fu Family for their care and support.

For this reason, he also prepared a gift.

Considering the Fu Family's immense wealth and that they lacked for nothing, Lin Jie brought some top-quality supplements like cordyceps and American ginseng as a token of appreciation.

After notifying them of his arrival, Lin Jie was ushered into a reception room in the front courtyard, where he waited for about seven or eight minutes before Fu Hechang, along with Wang Jinglan, arrived together.

"Dr. Lin Jie, welcome! Welcome!"

Fu Hechang was full of smiles and explained, "My father had some business to attend to and went to the Capital City early this morning. But he instructed us long ago that no matter when you visit, you're always a distinguished guest of the Fu Family."

"I came abruptly, I should have called in advance!"

Lin Jie quickly expressed his intentions and said, "I am grateful for Elder Fu's assistance, without which, I might still be entangled in a pile of troublesome matters now."

"Dr. Lin, you're being way too polite!"

Fu Hechang waved his hand with strong energy, smiling, "It was you who avoided the biggest troubles yourself! The elder just couldn't stand by and watch, so he took action against a few individuals to set an example, it's nothing worth mentioning."

Lin Jie sincerely said, "For Elder Fu, it might be a small matter of making a few calls. But for me, it's as if a few perilous mountains have been removed from the path of my life."

"I am aware of the weight of this kindness!"

Seeing Lin Jie express himself so earnestly, the smile on Fu Hechang's face grew broader, saying, "To be frank, your actions belong in the realm of healing and saving lives, acts of accumulating virtue."

"But there are always those who, for personal gain, with malicious intentions, resort to vile acts under the guise of laws and regulations, which is despicable!"

At that moment, someone came to report that Mr. Zhou Hongzhi from the Zhou Family had arrived.

Fu Hechang got up and explained, "Mr. Zhou Hongzhi, from the Binhai Traditional Chinese Medicine Family of the Zhou Family, is the eldest son of Chinese medicine master Zhou Yisan, and he himself is a renowned expert in Chinese medicine."

Lin Jie immediately understood that this Zhou Hongzhi was Li Ting's eldest uncle.

Fu Hechang, somewhat embarrassed, said, "This isn't about the family's diet, but I made some changes based on your suggestions. Who would have thought, just a slight change, and a few youngsters couldn't stomach it."

"I specifically invited Mr. Zhou to come over to check their pulses and prescribe some tonic medicine."

He apologized, "I need to go and welcome him and make a few arrangements, this..."

Lin Jie immediately understood and said, "You go ahead, I'll discuss some treatment matters with Wang Jinglan and then leave."

Fu Hechang promptly insisted, "You came such a long way, how can we let you leave just like that, it would be too impolite of us. At the very least, you must stay for lunch!"

He then turned to remind Wang Jinglan, "Last time Dr. Lin didn't have the chance to visit the small garden. Take him for a walk, and I'll come over after I'm done with arrangements!"

"Uncle, you handle your matters. I will accompany Dr. Lin well!" Wang Jinglan quickly responded.

After Fu Hechang left, Lin Jie looked at Wang Jinglan and got straight to the point: "I've carefully reviewed your medical data, and the preliminary surgery schedule is set for Friday. Are you prepared on your end?"

"I'm ready, prepared for surgery at any time."

Wang Jinglan nervously asked again, "Dr. Lin, if the surgery goes smoothly, how long might it take before I can resume intense training and competition?"

Lin Jie pondered and said, "Nerve recovery is the slowest. A month after the surgery, we can assess the surgical outcome."

"Even if the surgery goes well, at least three months of regular medication, injection of nutritional and stimulant agents will be needed to stimulate peripheral nerve growth and consolidate the surgical outcome."

"To engage in competition-level training, another two to three months of rehabilitation therapy will be needed!"

Wang Jinglan murmured, "It's mid-April now, by mid-May we'll know the surgery results, June, July, August for consolidating effects, September, October, November for rehab..."

As she spoke, her smile grew brighter, saying, "By that time, there will be eight to nine months left until the Olympic Games, enough time for me to return to peak condition!"

"Dr. Lin, thank you! If I truly win the Olympic gold medal, you deserve at least half the credit."

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I can't take credit for that. Your success is due to your decade-long dedication and passion for diving."

He self-mockingly added, "I'm just a surgeon, one who practices medicine in secrecy."

Wang Jinglan giggled, saying, "Without you, my athletic career would have ended. So, you truly deserve this credit."

Lin Jie gently shook his head, curbed his smile, and said seriously, "Wang Jinglan, I need to remind you that these recovery timelines are under ideal conditions. If things don't go as well, it's hard to say how long it will take."

"I must also tell you, there's a possibility the surgery might not be successful!"

Wang Jinglan also became serious, saying, "I understand, no one can guarantee a hundred percent in such matters."

"But Grandpa told me, you are known for performing miracles and are capable of creating them, aren't you?"

Seeing her eyes filled with hope and worry, Lin Jie recalled what Elder Fu had once said, kept his words unspoken, reorganized his thoughts, and said, "I do have some confidence!"
