On Sunday morning, Lin Jie learned that the Xie family, except for Xie Xingze, had united and planned to file a lawsuit in court on Monday, contesting the validity of Old Master Xie's last will.

The reason for the lawsuit was that Old Master Xie was in the late stages of a brain tumor, suffering from its torment and influence, which drastically changed his mind and temperament, and the content of the will did not reflect his true intention.

Affected by this potential lawsuit, in the afternoon, Lin Jie, An Kexin, and Li Haoxiang watched Old Master Xie's will together in the apartment.

In the video, a gaunt and frail old man lay on a hospital bed.

Surrounding the bed were Madam Ma, Xie Xingze, a middle-aged male and female doctor, and three well-dressed people, two men and one woman.

At the start of the video, the two doctors asked the old man more than ten questions in succession. These questions were mainly about his medical condition, cognitive issues, general knowledge, and some intelligence-related questions.

After the old man answered, the female doctor said, "Mr. Xie answered the questions in an orderly manner and has a clear understanding of his identity, situation, and physical condition."

"Accordingly, I personally believe that Old Master Xie has a clear mind, normal intelligence, and the capability to express his true intentions."

As soon as the female doctor finished speaking, the man in the suit beside her began to outline several key points of the video will.

Afterward, the gaunt old man lying on the bed slowly began to speak again.

However, what Lin Jie and the others first heard was a long five-minute reprimand and scolding.

The old man named his two sons and four daughters, accusing them one by one of being unfilial and not doing their utmost to save his life, being solely focused on inheriting his wealth.

He spoke with resentment, "Without my diligent arrangements and hard work, there would be no Xie family today, nor would you have your current glamorous lives."

"Since you do not appreciate my goodness, you have no right to inherit what I built single-handedly."

Then, he mentioned Lin Jie, scolding him fiercely for lacking medical ethics, being cold-blooded and heartless, and lacking gratitude...

However, Lin Jie also heard this sentence, "If Lin Jie realizes his mistakes and repents, I might consider nurturing him to see if he has the potential to become a successor."

This made Lin Jie involuntarily chuckle.

Indeed, people are always afraid of death. This old master of the Xie family was trying to entice him with the offer of becoming a family successor to prolong his life, but fate has other plans...

After the video ended, Lin Jie asked, "Lawyer Li, from your professional perspective, is there any chance this video will could be overturned?"

Li Haoxiang shook his head vigorously and said, "The legal validity of this video will can be said to have not the slightest issue!"

"This Daseng Law Firm has done it very professionally and comprehensively, coupled with the medical expert's professional assessment, it is sufficient to prove that this will represents the true expression of the testator's intentions."

"Their lawsuit is unlikely to succeed."

An Kexin gently laughed and said, "In that case, the reception team I arranged will head to the Capital City on Monday. Please trouble Lawyer Li to ensure that the legal procedures in the reception process are free from errors."

"President An, you're welcome, this is my duty."

Li Haoxiang stated, "I will lead the elite of our team to travel together with President An's team..."

After seeing off Li Haoxiang, An Kexin asked, "A Jie, is your surgery next Friday for the ENT department confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, Tuesday at nine in the morning. But this surgery is not just for ENT!"

Lin Jie counted on his fingers, saying, "There are major surgeries like the removal of an arteriovenous malformation, nose reconstruction surgery, facial bone reconstruction surgery, and facial cosmetic surgery."

"Kexin, for this surgery, you can invite several interested doctors to observe."

An Kexin chuckled and said, "Too much to chew all at once, if I can completely accomplish just one, I'd be quite satisfied."

Lin Jie recalled something and, holding An Kexin's hand, said, "The publisher designed several book covers, come and see which one looks the best, so we can pick one together!"

This morning, Chairman Qiu from Binhai University Press, accompanied by an editor-in-chief and the director of the distribution department, came to visit Lin Jie.

When he heard that they increased the first print run to the number '50,000,' for a moment, Lin Jie thought they were joking, teasing him.

The director of the distribution department, Chu Jing, gave Lin Jie a set of survey data.

This was the data from a survey conducted by the press in the top ten cities across the country, at one hundred hospitals.

The data showed that tens of thousands of medical professionals surveyed knew Lin Jie's name, with over ninety percent having seriously listened to at least one class recording by Lin Jie.

Seventy percent indicated that they would definitely buy a set for study purposes after the series is published.

According to Chairman Qiu, this was just the survey data for hospital professionals; another major consumer group, the Medical College students, had not yet been accounted for.

Setting the initial order at 50,000 sets was their most conservative estimate.

This medical series was directly named "Lin Jie Medical Series."

Chairman Qiu stated, "The name 'Lin Jie' has already become a powerful brand in the medical field, more simple and effective than any other name."

An Kexin gave a slight smile and said, "Indeed, A Jie, the image of you endorsing medical devices like syringes and infusion tubes has led to significant increases in orders in recent months."

"The salespeople all say that now, when they go to hospitals for promotions, they noticeably receive better treatment, being regarded as representatives of a major brand."

Lin Jie hummed and said, "Since it works, remember to increase my endorsement fee next year!"

An Kexin said seriously, "Of course, of course, I'll increase it from five hundred thousand to five hundred and one thousand!"

Lin Jie disdainfully acknowledged her, pointing to a few designs on the desk, "Pick one and see if we have a telepathic connection and share the same aesthetic sense."

He explained, "I've already revised the manuscripts for the first five volumes and sent them to the publisher."

"They hope to have them printed by mid-September. Around that time, my paper will also be published in 'Nature,' which would be a good opportunity for a small promotion."

An Kexin reviewed the designs one by one and, after pondering for a while, pointed to one, "These designs are all pretty good, but relatively speaking, I think this one is better."

The background color of this design is sky blue, which is also a common color for hospital scrubs today.

Unlike the white coats worn by doctors for diagnosing patients, the current colors of medical scrubs are primarily two shades of blue and green.

The primary reason for choosing these two colors is based on the principle of afterimage visual illusion. When you look at one color for a long time and then suddenly look elsewhere, you see the complementary color of what you were viewing.

Green and blue are the complementary colors of red and orange, respectively.

During surgery, surgeons are highly stressed and focused on the red and orange human organs and blood.

If they suddenly glance at their colleague's white coat or a white wall, they may see so-called "green-blue ghosts," an illusionary image.

These green-blue phantom images can affect the surgeons' vision and judgment, which is very dangerous for the patient.

Once people understood this complementary color principle, they stopped using white surgical attire.

Blue and green are the complementary colors of the internal organs and blood. So now, surgical gowns and rooms are blue or green, which not only eliminates visual illusions but also relaxes the mind.

On this sky blue design, there's a printed image of a surgeon holding a scalpel, with some somewhat rigid artistic fonts above it.

Overall, this design is very simple and clean.

Lin Jie nodded, "I think this one is good too. There's no need for the cover of an academic book to be gaudy."

"Let's go with this one. I'll notify the editor in a bit."

An Kexin, smiling with delight, said, "I didn't expect you to produce a book so quickly, congratulations!"

Lin Jie felt happy inside but pretended to be indifferent, "It's not as sacred as publishing a book used to be. Nowadays, it's easy to publish a book if you have money."

"Actually, speaking of publishing, Kemeng was the first among us. I saw yesterday that her novel's online clicks have surpassed five million."

"I'm ecstatic with printing fifty thousand copies of my book, yet she has five million clicks."

An Kexin lightly patted Lin Jie, "Kemeng writes novels, while you focus on professional academic books; there's no comparison."

She proudly added, "Besides, Kemeng's novel is really good."

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly heard a faint but urgent knocking.

Leaving the study, he clearly heard heavy knocks and the doorbell ringing, accompanied by Lele's barking, alternating incessantly.

Opening the door swiftly, he found it was Li Haoxiang.

Standing outside, his face was full of urgency and worry.

Seeing his face, An Kexin took a step back in fright and hid behind Lin Jie.

Mainly because Li Haoxiang's face was densely covered with red blood spots, looking a bit unsettling.

"Expert Lin, take a look, what's happening to me?"

Li Haoxiang pointed to his face, pretending to be calm, "After going to the bathroom, I found my face turned like this. Expert Lin, do I have some incurable disease?"

Lin Jie calmly and indifferently asked, "Lawyer Li, have you been constipated? Quite severely?"

Li Haoxiang said blankly, "Yes, I've been a bit constipated lately."

"So my face is..."

Lin Jie nodded, "You exerted too much force during bowel movements, causing blood congestion, increased brain pressure, and the bursting of facial capillaries, leading to these red spots."

"So, this is nothing serious, the red spots on your face will gradually fade, no need to worry."

Touching his face, Li Haoxiang said, slightly bemused, "Turns out I overexerted myself..."

Lin Jie cautioned, "Lawyer Li, given your age, take it easy in the bathroom from now on. Sudden death caused by straining during bowel movements isn't uncommon."

"When we strain, the abdominal wall muscles and diaphragm contract fiercely, increasing abdominal pressure, and cranial pressure can also rise."

"A sudden rise in blood pressure might trigger brain hemorrhage, increased myocardial oxygen consumption can induce angina, myocardial infarction, and severe arrhythmias, all of which can potentially lead to sudden death."
