It was close to ten at night when Lin Jie, carrying a backpack, got off the plane and arrived at the airport exit, where he saw the person who came to pick him up.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, tall, with rugged features.

Seeing Lin Jie walking toward him, he immediately folded the A4 paper with "Lin Jie" written on it several times and stuffed it into his pocket. He took a couple of steps forward, slightly bent his body, and said eagerly, "Hello, Expert Lin. I'm Zhang Yufei, the injured person's uncle!"

"Thank you so much for traveling all the way to the Capital City without any trouble. Thank you, really appreciate it!"

Lin Jie politely replied, "No need to thank me; I'm a doctor, and this is what I should do. Besides, it wasn't much trouble."

"Time is of the essence; let's go!"

"Alright, Expert Lin, please follow me."

Lin Jie quickly followed Zhang Yufei out of the terminal!

At this moment, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz drove up to them and slowly stopped.

Zhang Yufei graciously opened the rear door for Lin Jie, saying, "Please, Expert Lin!"

Lin Jie didn't stand on ceremony. He took off his backpack and got into the back seat of the car.

After settling in, he took out his phone and found several messages in the family WeChat group, including one he sent earlier, saying "Arrived safely at the Capital City airport," along with messages from Lin Miao, An Kexin, An Kemeng, and Zhang Xiaoxiao, reminding him to take care of himself.

Additionally, there was a separate inquiry message from Zhang Xiaoxiao.

The message mentioned a phone number from the Capital City attempting to add Lin Jie's public affairs number on WeChat, asking if the number's owner was related to him.

Lin Jie realized that the owner of this number should be Wen Junchen.

On the plane, unable to resist his earnest request, Lin Jie gave him his name and the public phone number managed by Zhang Xiaoxiao, then put on his headphones and rested his eyes.

Perhaps seeing that Lin Jie genuinely wanted to rest, Wen Junchen refrained from further bothering him.

After the plane landed and stopped, Wen Junchen enthusiastically suggested that he had a friend picking him up and could give Lin Jie a ride, but Lin Jie declined, saying he also had someone coming to pick him up.

Since Lin Jie had no checked luggage, he parted ways with Wen Junchen first.

Lin Jie typed a simple explanation to Zhang Xiaoxiao on WeChat, telling her about Wen Junchen.

No sooner than twenty seconds later, Zhang Xiaoxiao sent over a screenshot of a 20,000 yuan transfer from the other person.

Lin Jie hadn't intended to charge that person a consultation fee, thinking it was just a kind gesture, but he wasn't foolish enough to refuse a reward when offered.

A 20,000 transfer was indeed a sizable red envelope.

Lin Jie put away his phone and asked Zhang Yufei, who was sitting beside him, "How long will it take us to get to the hospital?"

Zhang Yufei, looking worried, said, "If all goes well and traffic isn't bad, it will take around two hours. Taking the subway would have been quicker, but it's already stopped running for the night."

"Ah, the traffic in the Capital City…"

"We can only pray there's no traffic and the road is smooth all the way."

He continued in a soft voice, "My nephew has always been restless since he was a child, with a natural talent for sports, always the star at school sports meets, and a key player on the school basketball team."

"Additionally, he's very good at rollerblading and skateboarding too..."

Mentioning this, Zhang Yufei sighed, regretting, "But his engagement in such a dangerous sport like parkour, it's the first time I'm finding out, and under such circumstances too."

"I hope this serious injury will be a heavy lesson, and he'll refrain from those dangerous sports in the future."

Concerned, he asked, "Expert Lin, is my nephew's injury not too severe, right?"

Lin Jie considered for a moment and said, "From the CT scans, X-rays, and injury photos I've seen, with proper care, he should hold up for another six or seven hours without major issues."

"However, to allow some leeway for the surgery, it's best to arrive at the hospital within three hours."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufei felt a bit anxious, but he forced a lighthearted tone, "Since it's already ten at night, it'll be almost eleven once we hit the city. At this time, traffic jams are usually less common."

"Reaching the hospital in two hours shouldn't be a problem, not at all."

Yet, to be on the safe side, he cautioned, "Master Liang, as long as you ensure safe driving, go as fast as possible. Speed limits and such don't need to be a concern."

"Alright!"

The driver responded briefly.

Lin Jie felt the speed of the Mercedes-Benz noticeably increase.

Watching as the car swiftly passed other vehicles, he estimated that the current driving speed had rapidly increased to around one hundred and fifty-six.

After driving for a while, Lin Jie noticed that the Mercedes' speed fluctuated between one hundred twenty and one hundred fifty-six.

This speed, given the car's performance, wasn't too fast, and the car maintained very stable handling, without any feeling of skidding.

Master Liang's driving skills seemed quite competent, and Lin Jie respected his driving ability.

He stopped worrying about speed or safety issues, took out a tablet from his backpack, turned it on, and reviewed the patient's injury details thoroughly...

Zhang Yufei saw this and no longer disturbed Lin Jie, only looking out the car window with a worried expression...

No one knows how much time had passed when Lin Jie clearly felt the car's speed decrease significantly. Looking out the window, he saw uneven roadside buildings, and there was a noticeable increase in traffic.

"Have we entered the urban area?" Lin Jie asked softly.

Zhang Yufei nodded, somewhat relieved, and said, "Yeah, we just got off the airport highway not long ago."

"The traffic is lighter than I expected. We should have more than enough time to get to the hospital within two hours."

Saying this, he complimented, "Expert Lin, Director Xia Kaige at the hospital is very impressed with you."

"He specifically said that you are a genius in general medicine and that even in his specialty, cardiovascular surgery, there is a significant gap between the two of you."

Lin Jie recalled how Xia Kaige had vouched for him first regarding the Xu Feng incident.

He smiled slightly and replied reciprocally, "That's Director Xia being humble. We each have our own specialties."

"Did you learn about me from Director Xia?"

Zhang Yufei nodded and said, "Director Huang, who is handling the injury, said that his nephew's liver injury is very serious, and he's not confident in handling it well, advising us to prepare for the worst."

"We have some connections with Director Xia, so we hastily invited him over."

"After Director Xia understood the specifics of the nephew's injury, he said that in this situation, only Expert Lin you could handle it successfully..."

Lin Jie roughly understood the situation.

At this moment, the vehicle slowly came to a stop.

Lin Jie thought they were waiting for a red light, but after five or six minutes passed, the vehicles ahead still weren't moving.

Immediately, Zhang Yufei got anxious, got out of the car to check what was happening.

Three or four minutes later, Zhang Yufei returned to the car, sweat all over his forehead, either from anxiety or from running.

"Damn it!"

He cursed without thinking, angrily saying, "Just when it matters the most, something unexpected happens."

"Expert Lin, there are three or four cars involved in an accident ahead, blocking the entire road. It doesn't look like it will be resolved anytime soon, so we're stuck here."

"Expert Lin, Expert Lin, under the current circumstances, we only... we only..."

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Jie understood his meaning, opened the car door, and said, "Let's go, get out and walk, we'll take a taxi or find another way when we get ahead."

Once out of the car, Lin Jie slung his backpack over his shoulder, turned around, and saw that in just these few minutes, the cars behind had queued up in a line over a hundred meters long, and the cars ahead also stretched about a hundred meters.

Damn it, if they wanted to leave this area, walking was really the only viable solution.

Helplessly, Lin Jie stepped onto the sidewalk and began walking briskly forward.

Zhang Yufei came up beside him, apologizing continuously, "Expert Lin, I'm really sorry..."

"No one wanted this kind of accident. Whatever the case, let's get to the hospital quickly first..."

After taking just two steps, Lin Jie asked, "Is the accident scene ahead severe? Has the ambulance arrived?"

Zhang Yufei hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "Expert Lin, I only saw two or three cars involved in the accident, I didn't notice anything else..."

Hearing this, Lin Jie couldn't help but quicken his pace, breaking into a jog.

After running several dozen meters, Lin Jie could see a car flipped on its side in the road through the gaps of onlookers, with another car blocking the road.

Also, a car had hit the central barrier, veered into the opposite lane, flipped over, and ended up wheels up.

On the sidewalks on both sides of the accident scene, many pedestrians were gathered watching.

Getting closer to the accident scene, a woman's cry reached Lin Jie's ears, "Help, please, save my boyfriend."

"Please, I'm begging you..."

Hearing this plea, Lin Jie immediately ran over without thinking.

Zhang Yufei instinctively reached out, grabbed Lin Jie's arm, and held him back, saying, "Expert Lin, my nephew..."

"You..."

Lin Jie's face turned serious, and with a stern tone, he said, "Your nephew still has some time."

"I'll go check the accident victims' injuries first. As for how to proceed, I have my own judgment!"

Zhang Yufei involuntarily released his grip upon seeing Lin Jie's resolute attitude.

Watching Lin Jie push through the crowd and rush to the accident scene, Zhang Yufei muttered a few curses under his breath.

He thought for a moment, took out his phone, dialed a number, and urgently said, "There's a huge traffic jam caused by an accident, and both I and the expert Lin we invited are stuck."

"Time is really of the essence now, I can only ask for your help."
