Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1132 - 1092: A Possible Scapegoat

Just after leaving the affiliated hospital, Lin Jie received a call from Song Zexing."Expert Lin, where did you get this USB drive?"

Song Zexing's voice from the phone was very urgent. Lin Jie glanced guiltily at An Kexin beside him and said, "I don't know who put it in my pocket or when."

"Song Zexing, what's in the USB drive? Is it really indescribable images or videos?"

"How could it be such files?"

Song Zexing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Expert Lin, the USB drive contains some industrial design schematics. I found the design sketches of Morrison Industries' 3D laser stereoscopic projector in it!"

"Are you sure?" Lin Jie asked loudly in surprise.

Song Zexing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not one hundred percent certain yet, but I'm seventy to eighty percent sure it's the laser projector's design."

"I just roughly compared, and the USB also has design schematics for an operating microscope, an ultrasonic diagnostic device, an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter, and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber."

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Jie said, "Song Zexing, use your connections to find someone to verify the authenticity of these designs. Once confirmed, give me a reply."

After hanging up the phone, the excited Lin Jie immediately shared the contents of the USB drive with An Kexin.

"Kexin, I have a strong feeling these design schematics are real, truly real."

"With these designs, imitating the 3D laser stereoscopic projector would be a piece of cake."

An Kexin was also overjoyed, asking, "Ajie, do you really not remember who stealthily put the USB in your pocket?"

Lin Jie thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I really don't remember!"

An Kexin widened her eyes inquiringly: "Ajie, try to think hard, really hard! Didn't they say you have the gift of image-based memory, able to remember everything?"

Lin Jie gave her a sidelong glance, saying, "That requires me to pay attention to memorize."

"No matter how powerful the memory gift is, the likelihood of remembering all experiences, especially those not paid attention to, is extremely small."

"Just give it a try."

An Kexin, now intrigued, shook Lin Jie's arm encouragingly: "Honestly, I've always been curious about your image-based memory gift. I've always wanted you to demonstrate it."

"Ajie, the contents of this USB are so important. If you can really figure out who gave it to you, that would be best."

Lin Jie was somewhat uncomfortable with this so-called image-based memory gift.

He always used it as an excuse to obscure the vast amount of medical knowledge inherited from Shen Lanruo.

Regarding An Kexin's mentioned demonstration, he preemptively said, "I'll give it a try, but I'm telling you, the chances of recalling are extremely low."

After saying this, Lin Jie closed his eyes, leaned against the back of the chair, calm his mind, and recalled today's events.

In the morning, he arrived at the office and habitually changed into his white coat.

Lin Jie tried hard to recall the details of changing his clothes.

He took the white coat from the rack and casually threw it on.

Now, like a slow-motion scene, the moment began to play slowly in Lin Jie's mind.

From the folds of the lifting white coat, it seemed the left coat pocket was empty.

This confirmed to Lin Jie that the USB drive was placed there by someone today.

At the same time, Lin Jie felt both surprised and pleased.

Turns out he really has a gift of image-based memory, this memory aptitude can truly record all experienced events, down to the details, in one's mind.

He once again calmed his mood and started recalling the people and scenes he encountered today which could have had the opportunity to place the USB.

During the quick recollection, Lin Jie remembers leaving the office, rushing to Elenna's ward, and passing two young nurses with brief physical contact.

Now, upon careful recall, Lin Jie realized that those two young nurses watched him intently, their actions seemed deliberate, clearly intending to have physical contact with him.

Thus Lin Jie felt a shiver in his heart, deciding to better protect himself in the future.

Upon more careful reflection, Lin Jie realized those two young nurses only intentionally bumped him but made no actions to slip something into his pocket.

The scene transitioned to Elenna's ward, where Elenna embraced him.

Could it be she took the opportunity during the embrace to secretly slip the USB into his pocket?

With this thought, Lin Jie carefully recalled the embrace with Elenna.

He remembered the scent on Elenna, her excited breathing, the feeling of her prominent pregnant belly pressing against his abdomen.

He also remembered Elenna's hand placement.

It wasn't her!

After confirming, Lin Jie started recalling the embrace with Warner!

After meticulously revisiting, Lin Jie could confirm, it wasn't him either.

Lastly was Julian's embrace.

Lin Jie reminisced the process of Julian's embrace, calculating his hand placement!

Suddenly, Lin Jie was taken aback!

After Julian gave a firm hug, his right hand slid down to Lin Jie's left coat pocket and seemed to pause briefly!

Lin Jie recalled the process of embrace with Julian once more in his mind.

This time, he recalled it more meticulously, the scene advancing even slower...

Lin Jie opened his eyes as he suddenly felt a headache.

The pain tightened his scalp, causing him to rub his temples uncontrollably!

An Kexin noticed Lin Jie's discomfort and asked worriedly, "Ajie, what's wrong?"

"I think it's mental exhaustion, my brain is a bit oxygen-deprived."

Lin Jie took a deep breath, his head discomfort alleviating a bit, and said, "Kexin, I remember who it is."

"Who?"

"Julian! The father of Elenna's unborn child, and also the technical director of Morrison Industries here for the negotiation."

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, saying, "I talked to him and felt he's a bit of a hothead, kind of quirky. It's plausible he secretly slipped me the technical drawings."

He remembered something else and said, "Kexin, do you think those hard disk data might have been secretly given to me by him too?"

"Those two most likely departments in the country have never admitted it was their doing."

"And Julian hates that Heidelberg University Hospital, for the sake of interests, concealed the information that I could treat Elenna. He also expressed to me his opposition to them not sharing the data, making it difficult for me to treat Elenna."

An Kexin mused, saying, "He could hand you the design drawings, so it's very possible he also secretly gave you the data before. Ajie, now that we know it was him, what do you think?"

"What could I possibly think?"

Lin Jie thought for a moment, and softly said, "He secretly gave me such important drawings, clearly not wanting outsiders to know. We should just pretend we don't know anything and quietly strike it rich."

At this moment, Qin Gang, who was driving, suddenly spoke, "Lin Jie, we've encountered Chairman Cai's car from Zhengda Pharmaceutical, and the other driver is signaling us to stop."

Lin Jie turned his head to look out the car window and saw a parallel Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Pull over."

Once the vehicle stopped, Lin Jie and An Kexin got out of the car, and saw two people getting out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom behind them.

Cai Jinqiang, and his daughter Cai Yanhe.

The two walked up to Lin Jie, and Cai Jinqiang was the first to speak, "Expert Lin, President An, we are also invited to Qushui Garden."

"Since we coincidentally met on the road, how about traveling together in one car?"

Cai Jinqiang's request was somewhat unusual.

Since they are both heading to Qushui Garden, there will naturally be a chance to meet and talk, so squeezing into one car might imply there's something important or confidential?

Lin Jie glanced at the slightly embarrassed Cai Yanhe and opened the car door, gesturing for them to enter.

"Chairman Cai, please!"

Cai Jinqiang, Cai Yanhe, and Lin Jie sat in the back seat while An Kexin moved to the front passenger seat.

After the car started moving smoothly again, Lin Jie softly said, "Chairman Cai, is there anything important?"

Cai Jinqiang did not answer directly, instead asking, "Expert Lin, did you receive a patient from Sweden today, whose husband is an important member of the Nobel Prize Committee?"

Lin Jie nodded, saying, "That's true, is there any issue?"

Cai Jinqiang sighed lightly and said, "Yanhe, you explain this..."

Cai Yanhe softly acknowledged, looking at Lin Jie, saying, "Expert Lin, last time, it was my fault."

"I shouldn't have..."

Lin Jie waved his hand, stopping her, and said, "That matter is in the past now, you don't need to bring it up again. Just tell me about today's issue."

Cai Yanhe brushed aside a few strands of hair from her face and said, "Expert Lin, contacting this Swedish patient was suggested by my cousin Cai Yun, right?"

Lin Jie acknowledged with a nod, placidly watching her.

Cai Yanhe continued, "I just learned today that my cousin got involved with Luo Nianzhen, the half-sister of Luo Pengyi."

"That suggestion was actually manipulated by that Luo Nianzhen."

Lin Jie frowned and asked, "What are they aiming for by doing this?"

Cai Yanhe looked at Lin Jie, saying, "Mainly because you are too exceptional, your development is so impressive, and you have the backing of someone remarkable who shouldn't be provoked."

"Luo Wantong has many strategies targeting you that he couldn't implement, so he can only use some seemingly legitimate open strategies!"

"Open strategies?" Lin Jie grew more puzzled.

Cai Yanhe explained, "Yes, open strategies! Praise you, tempt you, make you pursue higher honors, and invest more energy in matters beyond medicine."

"If you had proactively contacted that Swedish patient, they could have seized that pretext to say you were unscrupulously networking with committee members to pursue the Nobel Prize."

"When you get nominated for the Nobel Prize, such negative news coming to light could very well affect your final selection."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie felt a bit secretly relieved.

Fortunately, he thought it over carefully and didn't proactively contact Alexandersson, otherwise, they could have really seized his weakness.

Lin Jie chuckled lightly and said, "Then Luo Wantong miscalculated greatly, I didn't reach out proactively, Alexandersson saw my published paper and contacted me voluntarily."

Cai Jinqiang asked, "Expert Lin, do you have confidence in curing this Swedish patient?"

Lin Jie mused, saying, "Her condition is quite severe, I'm not confident."

Cai Jinqiang quietly said, "It's said that the husband of this Swedish patient, Alexandersson, holds significant prestige in that Swedish medical institution, and the couple has a very good relationship."

"If, and I mean if..."

Cai Jinqiang said solemnly, "This time, Expert Lin, if you ultimately cannot cure her, and Alexandersson learns that you knew about his wife's condition early on and had the opportunity to begin treatment much earlier."

"Expert Lin, do you think that Alexandersson might blame you for not contacting him sooner and place the responsibility on you?"

Lin Jie found it quite unbelievable, saying, "How is that possible?"

"It is possible!"

Sitting in the front seat, An Kexin said, "Ajie, it's possible."

"Let's put ourselves in that position and consider it from Alexandersson's perspective. For him, curing his wife's condition is the most crucial thing; everything else is secondary."

"If his beloved wife passes away, and Alexandersson refuses to accept reality, he might find a scapegoat, someone to blame, and that person... could be you."

"He might blame you for obviously having the chance to treat his wife earlier, but not reaching out proactively because you were worried about your Nobel Prize chances."

"To put it more seriously, in Alexandersson's view, your self-interest deprived his wife of an opportunity for rescue."
