Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1024 - 988: Drug Launch Event

"My son, he's... he's in Shaanxi!"Upon hearing this, Lin Jie didn't know what to say.

If it weren't for the clarity in the old grandmother's eyes and her coherent speech, he would have concluded that she was mentally ill.

Lin Jie glanced around and asked, "Madam, where is your family who came with you?"

"If you've become separated, I can ask the hospital security to help you look for them!"

The old grandmother shook her head and said, "I came alone."

"Dr. Lin, listen to me!"

She said anxiously, "My son, he's in Shaanxi, he works at a confidential unit, and has no free time. I want to ask you to go to Shaanxi to see him."

"I can take care of the travel expenses, I brought money, a lot of it."

Saying this, the old grandmother began to open her clothes to get something out from her bosom.

"Madam, please don't take out the money!"

Lin Jie quickly stopped her and thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't have to go to Shaanxi right now."

"If you give me your son's phone number, I can first have a conversation over the phone, simply understand his health situation, and then decide whether to go to Shaanxi."

He hopefully asked, "Madam, you should have your son's phone number, right?"

The old grandmother nodded and said, "I have it, I remember my son's mobile number clearly. I was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote it on my clothes."

"My son's number is 13..."

As the old grandmother recited the phone number, Guan Muhua, standing nearby, immediately took out his phone and dialed the number.

"It really is a Shaanxi number!"

Seeing the region displayed on the phone screen, Guan Muhua informed Lin Jie, and a clear girl's voice came from the phone, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Guan Muhua glanced at the old grandmother and said, "Hello, this number was given to me by an old lady."

"She says it's her son's number..."

Before Guan Muhua could finish, a shout came through the phone, "Auntie, Auntie, Grandma has been found, Grandma has been found..."

Then there was a loud clattering sound from the phone.

After a while, an urgent female voice came from the phone, "Hello, hello! Is the old lady okay?"

"I'm her daughter-in-law, our whole family is worried sick."

"She's alright! You can talk to her now."

After saying this, Guan Muhua handed the phone to the old grandmother.

The old grandmother took the phone, calmed her expression, and said, "Tieniu's wife, I'm okay."

"Listen to me, I know Tieniu's health isn't good..."

"You can't hide it from me by working together. When something is wrong with your own son, how could a mother not know."

"A mother's heart is connected to her child's, no matter how far apart they are, I can still know."

"I just know that Tieniu is in distress, I've dreamt of it, dreamt it several times."

"Don't cry, what are you crying for..."

"As a mother, I haven't cried..."

The old grandmother glanced at Lin Jie and continued, "Tieniu's wife, I'm telling you, I found a doctor for Tieniu, a recognized, the best doctor in the world."

"I asked many people, they all say he can cure any illness."

"Tieniu's wife, don't worry, Tieniu will definitely get better."

"You should tell this doctor about Tieniu's condition, so the doctor can assess what illness it is..."

Listening silently, Lin Jie took the phone from the old grandmother, and heard a sobbing voice from the phone, he said calmly, "Hello, I am Dr. Lin Jie from Binhai..."

Before he could finish, a startled exclamation came from the phone, "Binhai, did my mother-in-law go to Binhai?"

Just as Lin Jie was about to respond, another louder exclamation came from the phone, "Are you Lin Jie?"

"You're the Lin Jie from Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, Expert Lin?"

The inexplicable arrival of the old grandmother, combined with the exclamations from this Shaanxi caller, made Lin Jie truly realize the extent of his fame.

He said, somewhat reservedly, "I am indeed the Lin Jie from Binhai University Affiliated Hospital..."

Before Lin Jie could finish, he heard a shout from the phone, "Lingling, quickly call Abo and tell him Grandma has been found, she's at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital and with that Expert Lin Jie."

After hearing this sentence clearly not addressed to him, an excited voice came from the phone again, "Expert Lin, I never expected my mother-in-law would go to Binhai to find you!"

"My mother-in-law has been missing from her hometown in Southwest Shandong for four days."

"We always thought she would come to Shaanxi to find us."

"Because before, she kept insisting on coming to Shaanxi to visit us, and her younger siblings back home were trying to stop her."

"I didn't expect she would come looking for you!"

"Oh, Expert Lin, I forgot to tell you, my husband, Yang Tieniu, has esophageal cancer and is undergoing your treatment."

Hearing these words, Lin Jie couldn't help but turn his head to look at the elderly lady.

Is this a coincidence or fate's mysterious way?

This elderly lady came all the way to Binhai from a thousand miles away for her son to find me. And I performed the surgery for her son the day before yesterday.

Lin Jie ended the call, handed the phone to Guan Muhua, and said to the elderly lady, "Ma'am, you must miss your son, right? I'll take you to see him."

"Are you willing to come to Shan Central with me?" the elderly lady asked excitedly.

Lin Jie smiled softly and said, "Ma'am, I'm going to perform a magic trick for you, a magic trick of making a person appear."

"Ma'am, please follow me."

Just as Lin Jie was leading the elderly lady to the annex guard post, a young man rushed out from inside, shouting, "Grandma... Grandma..."

Lin Jie recognized the young man as the son of the esophageal cancer patient, currently accompanying and caring for the patient.

The elderly lady was clearly surprised to see the young man and asked, "Abo, how are you here..."

Seeing this scene, Lin Jie felt he no longer needed to stay and turned to leave.

On the way back to Xiangtai Apartment, Guan Muhua, who was quietly driving, suddenly asked, "Do you think there's really such a thing as telepathy, the saying about the bond between mother and child?"

Lin Jie suddenly thought of the night when Lin Miao had an incident at the massage parlor, and his sudden premonition at the time, and said, "Perhaps there's some telepathy; there are quite a few similar cases online."

Guan Muhua responded with an "Oh," and sighed, "This old lady looks at least seventy years old by appearance."

"For her son, she traveled all the way to Binhai by herself to find you..."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "Do you think it's right or wrong for a son to hide a severe illness from his mother?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "You can't simply judge right or wrong in this matter!"

"When parents are seriously ill, they often hide it from their young children. When children are seriously ill, they hide it from their aging parents. Such things are not uncommon. Each family's considerations and actual circumstances are different."

"In this situation, you can only say that this son and his family chose to hide it from the elderly lady with good intentions..."

Back home, Lin Jie found that this time An Kexin unusually got back earlier than him.

An Kexin happily informed him that she had recruited six technical researchers from Tiande Research Institute, and the development and production of the Life Healing Box had already begun, with quite a few orders secured.

Lin Jie knowingly asked, "Which hospitals are so farsighted to place orders in advance?"

An Kexin chuckled and said, "Limin Hospital ordered four, Tongren Hospital West Branch also pre-ordered two, and the Armed Police General Hospital also ordered two. There are many inquiries and interested parties."

"An Jie, I'm excited not because of this, but because of other potential uses for the Life Healing Box."

"Other uses?" Lin Jie was a bit puzzled.

An Kexin giggled and said, "Today, it was posted on the media public account about the Life Healing Box."

"Of course, while the Life Healing Box is the highlighted recommendation, it is introduced through a story."

"The story is about the process of how you came up with this idea."

Seeing Lin Jie glance at Yao Henan, An Kexin softly said, "We naturally won't involve Nannan, we just mention a severely injured bone patient and focus on your painstaking efforts and the spark of wisdom."

"To spark discussions, we specifically found a few people to discuss and also PS other uses for the Life Healing Box."

"Like playing games inside the Life Healing Box, working out, space walking, and so on."

"It indeed attracted a lot of people to discuss and quite a few funny PS pictures of Life Healing Box applications were posted."

"More importantly..."

An Kexin giggled and said, "An Jie, guess how many individual orders we've received?"

"Ten?" Lin Jie randomly guessed a number.

An Kexin proudly said, "One hundred and twenty-one."

"From our follow-up, we found that the majority of people using it as a gaming chair, followed by space enthusiasts wanting to experience the weightless feeling of space."

"The third reason is purchasing for elderly or immobile patients at home, appreciating the easier movement it provides, and the automatic handling of bodily needs."

"And the fourth..."

She leaned closer to Lin Jie, teasingly, "Some people use it as a kind of couples' game device, can you imagine that?"

Lin Jie imagined a bit and really couldn't figure out how it could be used for that kind of thing.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but marvel, "There are indeed quite a few wealthy people in the country."

"The Life Healing Box along with its equipment is priced at around two hundred thousand, and yet they bought it just to chase a novel feeling without hesitation? That's difficult to understand."

An Kexin shook her head and laughed, "An Jie, you're now considered a wealthy person too, but your thinking still stubbornly stays at the poor man's level."

Lin Jie gave her a sidelong glance, unwilling to engage further.

Just then, Lin Jie's phone rang—it was a call from Fu Xiuyuan.

"Lin Jie, you must come to tomorrow's drug release conference at ten..."
