Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1070 - 1032: Intriguing News

Sitting in the car returning to Xiangtai Apartment, Lin Jie no longer displayed the composed and steady demeanor he showed in front of others, his body slumped against the seat back, a look of not only fatigue but also some reluctance on his face.He personally performed the radioactive particle implant surgery for those three patients.

This radioactive particle involves placing a radioisotope capable of killing tumor cells inside a metal titanium shell.

After sealing, it is made into a small stick, only as thick as a 0.7mm pencil lead used by elementary school students, less than half a centimeter long, and is simply referred to as a "particle."

Through the micro radiation source, this particle emits continuous, short-distance radiation, causing maximum damage to the surrounding tumor tissue, while leaving normal tissue unharmed or minimally damaged.

Lin Jie implanted these radioactive particles in the main part of the tumor of patients, in amounts three times exceeding the standard value.

Lin Jie's idea was that the tumor would strongly react to the stimulus from the radioactive particles, causing a swift emergency response to move towards the direction where the inducer is infused.

But, this was merely his hopeful idea.

In Lin Jie's dozens of cerebral simulations, the reaction of the tumor was completely unpredictable.

This time, he was purely gambling on luck.

Lin Jie understood that when he made this decision, opting for such a risky and radical method, he had, to some extent, already given up on those three patients, treating them as merely experimental subjects.

"Time!"

Lin Jie silently lamented.

The disease progression of those three patients was fast, leaving no time for hesitation.

If left untreated, under conservative treatment, they might last for seven or eight months.

If fortunately successful, they could undergo the second stage of treatment, offering a chance for a longer survival period.

If failed, the originally expected seven to eight months for the patients could be reduced to merely three or four months.

To most people, losing three or four months doesn't mean much.

However, for these three patients...

Thinking of this, Lin Jie couldn't help but regret his decision.

Faced with such a condition, why still bother with unnecessary interventions?

"Ah Jie, although the world often believes that good doctors should have compassion and a healer's heart, for medical researchers, they should have even greater love and compassion."

Shen Lanruo's voice once again echoed in his mind, "Weren't there sayings in ancient times like 'mercy is not for commanding soldiers' and 'a general's success is built on the bones of many', indicating that necessary sacrifices for ultimate victory are proper and essential."

"These sayings are quite fitting to apply to medical research."

"While current medical experiments have strict standards, they essentially involve testing with lives."

"Nowadays, a large number of sacrifices involve lab mice and rabbits, but clinical trials are still conducted using patients' health and lives."

Lin Jie silently replied, "Lanruo Sis, I understand the rationale behind what you're saying."

"But truly facing such circumstances, making decisions is sincerely difficult and distressing."

Shen Lanruo continued to persuade him, "Then think about the future, when this experimental therapy succeeds, allowing thousands of tumor patients to spend more time with their loved ones."

"Thinking about this, doesn't it make you feel a bit better?"

Lin Jie tilted his body, lying on the back seat, muttering to himself, "It does feel a little better."

"Sigh... my heart is too benevolent, I guess I'll never reach that level of cold indifference."

"Nonsense!"

Shen Lanruo said mockingly, "Back when dealing with those guys who hurt Miaomiao, I didn't see you hesitate..."

Lin Jie returned home to find quite a number of people already there.

Besides Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lili, Yao Siyuan, Guan Muhua, Chen Qiuhua, Du Feixue, unexpectedly Fu Xiuyuan also came, bringing a guest along.

"Lin Jie, let me introduce this person to you, Cai Yun, not the 'cloud' in the sky, but the 'Yun' with both literary and martial skills as well as wealth."

Fu Xiuyuan added, "He is Chairman Cai of Zhengda Pharmaceutical's nephew, and also a pharmaceutical scholar."

Lin Jie sized up this youth around thirty years old.

Clean!

That was the first impression popping into Lin Jie's mind.

Cai Yun, with a fair complexion and short hair, was impeccably tidy from head to toe, seemingly unblemished.

Lin Jie exchanged pleasantries with Cai Yun and politely said, "Dr. Cai, please feel free, I'll go freshen up!"

After Lin Jie had a quick wash and changed into casual home clothes, he found Fu Xiuyuan waiting outside the door for him.

He directly questioned, "Aren't you and Zhengda Pharmaceutical competitors?"

"How did you become friends with the Cai family?"

Fu Xiuyuan chuckled, "Even competitors can turn into friends, can't they? The domestic pharmaceutical market is so vast, even if Zhengda Pharmaceutical tries its best, it can't swallow it all."

"Especially now, Zhengmao Pharmaceutical and Zhengda Pharmaceutical have become partners because of the Anlin Garden project."

He lowered his voice a bit and asked, "Lin Jie, Zhengda Pharmaceutical approached me, wanting the overseas sales agency rights for that generic drug. Do you have any advice?"

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and then said, "I don't get involved in business operations; you decide for yourself."

"Zhengmao Pharmaceutical doesn't plan to develop the international market on its own?"

Fu Xiuyuan sighed, "We simply don't have the capability."

"We haven't even conquered the domestic market yet. Objectively speaking, only a handful of companies like Zhengda Pharmaceutical have the capital and strength to explore international markets."

He seriously said, "Lin Jie, since you don't object, I'll transfer the overseas sales agency rights to Zhengda Pharmaceutical."

"They can use the cheap and high-quality generic drug to expand into international markets, and I can earn more revenue—both sides benefit."

Fu Xiuyuan lamented, "Zhengmao Pharmaceutical is really short on funds right now."

Lin Jie scoffed, questioning, "Really short on funds?"

"Otherwise, why would you invest 500 million to join the Anlin Garden nationwide project?"

Fu Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Investing in the Anlin Garden nationwide project was possible because Four Seas Bank promised to provide a very favorable high-percentage loan. I don't need to invest much from my side."

"This project carries your name; its success is foreseeable."

"I certainly wouldn't miss such a great opportunity to make money."

At this point, Fu Xiuyuan's expression turned solemn as he warned, "Lin Jie, I need to remind you of something: Four Seas Bank's support for this project is exceptionally generous."

"You should be careful that one day, when the project reaches a certain stage, Four Seas Bank suddenly stops providing support and instead demands loan repayment, or seeks to acquire controlling stakes through debt-to-equity swaps."

"Four Seas Bank has previously acquired controlling stakes in some quality projects through similar operations, then sold them off in packages or piecemeal, making significant profits."

Lin Jie nodded seriously, "I'll remind Kexin to be aware of this."

He couldn't help but say, "Four Seas Bank is dominated by your Fu Family. You remind me of this; aren't you being disloyal?"

Fu Xiuyuan sighed, "In large families with conflicting interests, familial relationships can sometimes be weaker than friendships."

"Besides, my reminder might just be unnecessary."

"Lin Jie, you're the core and soul of the Anlin Garden project; you could start anew, and without you, Anlin Garden's value would significantly drop."

"Those folks at Four Seas Bank probably wouldn't do something so unwise..."

Just then, An Kemeng came trotting over, humming, "Jie brother, a gorgeous woman is here to see you."

Lin Jie walked into the living room and found it was Lulu.

It must be said, restored to health, with a wig on her shoulders and a delicate makeup, she indeed gave a stunning impression.

Right beside Lin Jie, Fu Xiuyuan appeared enchanted, fascinated, exaggeratedly staring at her.

Lin Jie took the gift Lulu handed over—a bottle of red wine.

Seeing this wine's origin, he felt a rush of joy; it was from Chateau Margaux.

Lin Jie, though not fond of drinking, easily gets drunk, yet has a well-known preference for high-end red wines. Many people choose a good bottle of wine when bringing gifts.

Over the recent period, Lin Jie's temperature-controlled wine cabinet has already collected renowned wines from five of the world's top ten wineries, and now another winery has joined the collection.

Lin Jie called Du Feixue over and specially introduced the two.

Before this, Lin Jie had already briefed Du Feixue.

Du Feixue expressed that with her debut film, making money is secondary; the primary aim is to earn a good reputation through this film, network with more industry contacts, and genuinely understand the rules of the industry.

Therefore, regarding investments from the industry, as long as there's no ulterior motive and the demands aren't excessive, Du Feixue's principle is to accept anyone.

"Hey, Lin Jie..."

Fu Xiuyuan hinted about Lulu, sitting on the sofa chatting with Du Feixue and Wen Ya, and whispered, "Lin Jie, how do you always know such high-quality girls?"

"What's her story, quickly tell me?"

"Honestly speaking, at first glance, I felt a sudden heartbeat."

Lin Jie glared at him, warning, "Fu Xiuyuan, don't mess around."

"I'll tell you, she's already taken, the girlfriend of my student."

Hearing this, Fu Xiuyuan collapsed, clutching his chest, showing a deeply wounded expression.

At that moment, Cai Yun came over and softly said, "Expert Lin, do you know the Karolinska Institute in Sweden?"

Lin Jie nodded, "I know, this institute is responsible for evaluating the Nobel Prize in Physiology."

Cai Yun smiled slightly, saying, "The evaluation of the Nobel Prize in Physiology is conducted by the Nobel Assembly of the Karolinska Institute, comprised of fifty elected professors from the institute."

"Expert Lin, I have some news you might find interesting."

"Dr. Alexandersson, a renowned professor at the Karolinska Institute, his wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer..."
