After the gathering ended and the guests had left, Lin Jie went into the study.

An Kexin, along with Lin Miao and An Kemeng, cleaned up the living room and tidied themselves up. It had already been over an hour.

Seeing that Lin Jie hadn't come out of the study, An Kexin, wearing a woolen pajama, gently pushed open the study door.

She saw Lin Jie sitting in the chair behind the desk, his eyes slightly closed, leaning against the chair back.

Familiar with Lin Jie's habits, An Kexin knew he wasn't napping; he was thinking, and it was a very engrossed kind of thinking.

She walked over quietly, and before she got close, she saw Lin Jie slowly open his eyes.

"Did I disturb you?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said with a soft smile, "Not really a disturbance!"

He glanced at the time on the desk clock and realized it was already past eleven-thirty. He stood up apologetically and said, "It's already so late. Let's go rest."

An Kexin hooked her arm around Lin Jie's and headed out, asking, "Were you considering the surgery plan for Dwayne Johnson?"

"No! I went through all the physical examination information of the big guy today."

"I can say there's nothing that needs special attention."

"His injury recovery requires very meticulous surgical techniques, but that's not difficult for me."

Lin Jie said softly, "I was thinking about that pair of conjoined twins."

"As the surgery date approaches, I feel increasingly uneasy and anxious."

"Kexin, I am really not very confident about this surgery."

An Kexin stopped, turned around, faced Lin Jie, and reached out to rub his face with both hands, saying, "A Jie, for this pair of conjoined twins, you came up with the groundbreaking idea of underwater surgery."

"To ensure this idea was feasible, you conducted many experiments and even borrowed some equipment through connections."

"You've been tirelessly optimizing their surgical plan day and night."

"A Jie..."

An Kexin said heavily, "Perhaps you don't have a lot of confidence in the success of this surgery."

"But I am certain that there is no neurosurgeon in the world more qualified or confident than you to complete this surgery."

Lin Jie just smiled and said, "My dear Kexin really knows how to comfort people. Hearing you say this, I feel much more at ease..."

Back in the bedroom, An Kexin also went to the bathroom, watching Lin Jie wash up.

She casually chatted, "After the recruitment announcement for the newly established studio was sent out, we've already received over a hundred resumes. Your influence is quite evident."

"A Jie, do you have any special recommendations?"

While brushing his teeth, Lin Jie shook his head in response.

An Kexin teased, "Vice Director Fang told me that a fresh graduate from Binhai University Medical School approached him, saying that you specially recommended them!"

Lin Jie rinsed his mouth and said casually, "You mean her."

"I happened to know that she has a phobia of blood and just found out she has some health issues, making her unsuitable to be a doctor anymore."

"She came to me, wanting to work in the studio. I thought it was quite a pity for her situation, so I wanted to give her a chance and recommended her to find Fang Jianbin."

An Kexin made an acknowledging sound and lightly laughed, "So that's the situation!"

"Oh, don't move!"

She smeared some oil-free skin cream in her palm and carefully applied it on Lin Jie's face, "Studied medicine for five years, only to find out she can't be a doctor. It really is quite unfortunate."

"A Jie, should we give her special consideration?"

After washing his face, Lin Jie said, "Under the same conditions, priority can be given in hiring..."

The two returned to the bedroom together, and An Kexin spoke again, "I think, for the time being, the studio should operate at the Crown Holiday Hotel. Once Anlin Hospital is built, we will move in together with the preparation center."

"You decide on this matter."

Lin Jie thought of something and asked, "Did those two people introduced by your two relatives before the new year ever contact Miaomiao again?"

"Both of them came to the company to see Miaomiao once or twice..."

Seeing Lin Jie's expression turn somewhat displeased, An Kexin explained, "I saw that Miaomiao had no feelings for both of them, so I asked Dad to pass the word to them, and they shouldn't bother Miaomiao anymore."

Lin Jie's expression softened a bit, and he said, "Pay more attention to Miaomiao's matters."

"Although I am her twin brother, after all, there are differences between male and female, and some private and secret talks she might prefer to have with you."

An Kexin nodded, "Miaomiao is also my sister, and I will watch over her."

"Besides, Miaomiao is very well-behaved, much more so than Kemeng."

Lin Jie said worriedly, "I also know Miaomiao is very well-behaved, but when it comes to emotions, it's really hard to say."

"I am most worried that someone with impure intentions will set their sights on Miaomiao."

An Kexin laughed lightly, "The way you say this, it's like a father, thinking every boy who talks to his daughter has bad intentions."

She comforted him again, "Don't worry too much."

"Miaomiao is not a child anymore, it's just that you've become so formidable now, that she's starting to rely on you a little."

"But don't forget, before, she was always the one out working to take care of you. Maybe when it comes to discerning good from bad, Miaomiao is even better than you."

Lin Jie laughed, "You're quite right. Before, she was the one in charge, both inside and outside."

Saying this, he added with a bit of heartache, "Back then, with no one to rely on, Miaomiao had no choice but to be strong..."

At this moment, An Kexin urged, "Alright, it's almost twelve. You have surgery tomorrow afternoon."

"It's time to sleep..."

The next morning, Lin Jie woke up at the usual time.

After getting up, washing up, exercising, and having breakfast with An Kexin, Lin Miao, and the others, Lin Jie left the apartment and arrived at the University Affiliated Hospital before nine o'clock.

Lin Jie first went to Dwayne Johnson's ward.

He told him that the surgery was scheduled to start at three o'clock in the afternoon, expected to last about five hours.

And reminded him that no eating is allowed six hours before the surgery, and no drinking two hours before the surgery!

Leaving the big guy's ward, Lin Jie had just entered the hospital's main building and was about to take the elevator back to his office when he saw someone in a white coat being escorted out of the elevator by two security guards.

This person also saw Lin Jie and immediately shouted, "Expert Lin, it's me, it's me!"

"Please tell them that I'm not a bad person!"

Lin Jie then noticed that he actually knew this person; it was Wu Xiaoyue, who was doing VI design for Anlin Hospital.

"What's going on? What mistake did she make?"

The two security guards naturally recognized Lin Jie, and an older security guard explained, "Expert Lin, we noticed this person wearing a white coat wandering around different places in the hospital."

"We checked and found that she's not from our hospital and, after reviewing the surveillance footage, found that she's been wandering in the hospital for days, so we planned to take her to the security office for questioning."

Wu Xiaoyue explained, "Expert Lin, I am doing field research to gather materials for VI design for Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie couldn't help but ask, "If you're doing research, then so be it. Why wear a white coat and impersonate a doctor?"

Wu Xiaoyue tugged at her white coat and explained, "Expert Lin, this isn't a doctor's coat; it's my work attire when I paint and design!"

Lin Jie then noticed that there were indeed some differences between her white coat's style and that of a doctor's coat.

He couldn't help but laugh, "You're trying to fish in troubled waters!"

Lin Jie said to the two security guards, "I know this person; she's not a bad person. What she said is true, Anlin Hospital commissioned her for VI design."

"You can release her. If there's any problem, I'll take responsibility."

With Lin Jie vouching for Wu Xiaoyue, the two security guards naturally released her happily.

After the security left, Lin Jie said sternly, "Wu Xiaoyue, take off the white coat, go to the director's office and get permission according to the procedure before conducting your research."

"Stop being sneaky, like a thief."

"I'm sorry, Expert Lin, it was my fault. Please do not terminate the cooperation because of this matter."

"I really need this contract."

Full of plea, Wu Xiaoyue explained again, "I did this to understand the hospital's most authentic side, which would better inspire my creativity and allow me to create better works."

Lin Jie was too lazy to listen to her explanation and impatiently waved his hand, "Don't do it again..."

Arriving at the office floor, Lin Jie saw Qin Gang waiting for him at the door.

After entering the office together, Lin Jie asked, "Here for the investigation on Shu Yunfeng?"

Qin Gang nodded and said, "So far, only some general information has been gathered."

"Due to the Shu family's status, some information is difficult to dig deeper, and it's inconvenient to use certain information collection methods."

"I thought it best to report to you first and then act according to your opinion."

Lin Jie responded, "Let's hear about the information gathered first!"

"Shu Yunfeng, son of Shu Yueting, the younger brother of Shu Yueze, the chairman of East Sea Real Estate, is twenty-five years old this year."

"At the age of four, his parents divorced, and he was awarded to his mother by the court."

"After that, he went abroad to live with his mother."

"When he was six, his mother remarried. At nine, Shu Yunfeng returned to Shu Yueting's side and has been there since."

Hearing this, Lin Jie asked, "What are his mother's family conditions like?"

"And his father must have remarried too, right? Does he have children?"

Qin Gang glanced at the documents in his hand and said, "It's said that his mother's family conditions are pretty good."

"His father remarried less than a year after the divorce and has two more sons."

"According to the investigation, Shu Yunfeng's elementary and middle school grades were quite excellent and well-liked by teachers."

"Lin Jie, that's about all the information there is."

"If you wish to dig deeper, we have ways, but it might take more time."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and waved his hand, "No need, this information is sufficient."

Shu Yunfeng had a rather complicated childhood, which strengthened Lin Jie's judgment that he might be outwardly charming but inwardly a devil.

But such things are just probabilities.

Without conclusive evidence, it's impossible to make accurate judgments. Shu Yunfeng could very well be a good person inside and out.

Lin Jie could only hope that Li Ting would at least heed some of his advice, not make hasty decisions, and take more time to observe.

"I've done my utmost duty, haven't I?"

Lin Jie muttered to himself, set the matter aside, and started finalizing and optimizing Dwayne Johnson's surgical plan...
