Chapter 852 - 822: Alarm Bells Ringing
Chapter 852 - 822: Alarm Bells Ringing
Lin Jie glared at him and warned, "If you're sincere, it's not impossible.""But if you just want to play around, I warn you to stop thinking about it..."
At this point, he changed his mind and said, "You'd better forget about it."
"She's even younger than I am, right at the beginning of her career, don't hold her back."
Fu Xiuyuan acknowledged this with a nod and said nonchalantly, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I won't bother her."
After hearing these two templates, Lin Jie knew that Lu Xiaoyu was definitely out of the picture.
Fu Xiuyuan's first choice is someone who balances wisdom and beauty, who can assist with his career development, and then someone who serves merely as a beauty to satisfy a man's vanity.
Lu Xiaoyu doesn't fit either category.
Lin Jie and the others waited a bit until An Kexin and the others came out, and they all headed to the parking lot in front of the restaurant.
"Momo, you can take the car with us. Let me drive you home first," said Lin Miao warmly.
"Thank you, Miaomiao, but there's no need!"
Yu Momo hurriedly declined, "I've already called my mom. She'll come to pick me up, so there's no need to trouble you guys."
"Look, there's my mom coming now."
Lin Jie saw Yu Momo's mom getting out of a taxi parked on the side of the road and walking towards them.
After exchanging a few polite words with Yu's mom, Lin Jie and the others watched them leave.
Saying goodbye to Fu Xiuyuan, Chen Qiuhua, and many students, Lin Jie, Lin Miao, An Kexin, and An Kemeng got into the Phaeton car and headed home.
After the vehicle got on the overpass and ran smoothly, An Kemeng suddenly remembered something and said angrily, "Brother Jie, in the evening, some police officers came to the hospital room to look for Nannan, asking about the bullying she encountered at school."
"Judging from the way they questioned her, it seemed like they didn't believe the incidents really happened and kept asking for details."
"If it weren't for Sister Xiaoxiao noticing that Nannan didn't seem right and quickly calling Doctor Yue to come over and chase the police away, Nannan might have been hurt again."
Hearing what An Kemeng said, Lin Jie was also quite angry, and he immediately called Kong Mingqing.
The call was picked up after just a few rings, and Lin Jie immediately asked, "Kong, which leader at the police station is responsible for Yao Jishun's case?"
"This case has already been handed over to the joint investigation team."
"Here on our side, it's a deputy director of the police station who is coordinating work on this end."
Perhaps sensing Lin Jie's displeasure, Kong Mingqing cautiously asked, "Lin Jie, is there an issue?"
Lin Jie briefly explained the situation where the police questioned Yao Henan in the evening and said in a grave tone, "Kong, Yao Henan just came out of self-imposed psychological isolation a few days ago, and her father is still in prison for murder."
"Her emotions are extremely fragile and unstable."
"By probing into her bullying case without concern, and insisting on details, what do you intend to do?"
"Doesn't the police station have any experts in psychological trauma?"
"Do you not understand what serious consequences this could have?"
"Lin Jie, don't get angry. There might have been a communication issue somewhere."
Kong Mingqing reassured, "Rest assured, I will report your concerns to the deputy director to prevent similar incidents in the future."
After hanging up the call, Lin Jie thought for a moment and told An Kemeng and the others, "Tomorrow I will speak to Dean Cheng and ask him to remind the security to thoroughly vet visitors to the luxury ward area."
"No journalists or police should be allowed without first having the security call me."
The response from the police came quite swiftly.
Just as Lin Jie and the others got home, a call came in from a deputy director named Sun Chen.
He explained that it was someone from the prosecutor's office who found that a statement was missing from Yao Henan while reviewing the case files, and reported it to the police, leading someone to smartly head to the hospital to inquire.
In conclusion, the deputy director promised, "Expert Lin, we will firmly address this undisciplined and highly unprofessional behavior."
"Similar incidents will certainly not happen again."
After Lin Jie hung up, An Kexin said softly, "The case of Yao Jishun has caused a huge public uproar."
"There's an online poll asking if you were a father in Yao Jishun's position, what would you do to seek justice for your daughter?"
"In the millions of votes received, nearly seventy percent chose methods as extreme as Yao Jishun's."
An Kexin sighed, "Public opinion is very critical about poor upbringing of problematic children, the schools' indifference to bullying, covering it up, downplaying serious incidents, poor management, and certain deficiencies in legal oversight, with lots of complaints and pent-up anger."
"If something were to happen to Yao Henan right now, that deputy chief would probably be at the end of his career."
Lin Jie said quietly, "It's not the appearance of problems that scares society, it's the same problems appearing again and again."
"I just hope the Yao Jishun case can serve as a profound warning to everyone and prevent such incidents from happening again."
"Sound the alarm bells, let's hope so!"
Just then, Lin Jie's phone rang again.
He picked it up and saw it was a call from the United States, from Slophel.
"Mr. Slophel, hello! It must be morning over there, right? I should say, good morning!"
Slophel laughed heartily and replied, "Then I'll say good evening to you, Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin, first, I'd like to inform you that Gilbert's voice has recovered very well, he asked me to thank you once again for saving his career."
"I understand that Gilbert has already found a job as a program host and will return to work in early February once his voice is fully stable."
Lin Jie said casually, "Just remember to congratulate him from me."
"No problem. Expert Lin, I have another important matter to discuss in this call."
Slophel said with some excitement, "I've contacted another patient, an A-list star from Hollywood."
"Oh, a big star, what's the condition?" Lin Jie asked curiously.
Slophel whispered, "Many Hollywood stars and artists tend to have some cosmetic procedures done."
"The one I contacted is no different."
"Moreover, this star recently injured her face while shooting an action scene. The injury wasn't severe, but it caused a serious aftereffect: part of the muscles in her right cheek lost control."
Lin Jie confirmed, "Facial paralysis?"
"Yes, that's what the doctors at the hospital are saying. However, this paralysis is due to nerve damage caused by external trauma, and conventional treatments are generally ineffective."
"Expert Lin, I know you can reconstruct someone's face from nothing, so handling this small issue should be effortless for you, right?"
Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Slophel, I'm a bit busy in the next two weeks; if I'm to take on this patient, it'll be at least two weeks later."
"Expert Lin, this time frame might need to be pushed further."
Slophel explained, "The star's schedule is packed tight. It'll take at least three to four weeks before they can spare some time specifically for treatment."
Lin Jie acknowledged, "That's alright, send this person's medical records to my email first..."
A silent night passed...
Early the next morning, Lin Jie arrived at the Affiliated Hospital, only to find Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen waiting for him outside the office.
"Expert Lin, after a detailed placement check on brain areas, and a recheck, the results for this pair of conjoined twins are not optimistic..."
