The video playing on the phone screen featured someone Lin Jie knew.
The French football star Els Smith.
This appeared to be a recorded private video call, in which Els was excitedly pointing to his right eye, talking non-stop.
Because he was speaking French, Lin Jie didn't understand.
At his request, Maxwell translated it into English.
After listening, Lin Jie finally understood the reason behind it.
It turned out that Els was shouting excitedly in the video call, "Hey, brother, did you see this eye of mine? It's healed, it's really healed."
"I can see things again, I can play football again, I can make big money again."
"I have to thank that amazing Chinese doctor Lin Jie, he's a genius, he's the best in the world."
He shouted, gesturing wildly, "Yeah, the best, may God bless him."
"Unlike that idiot in the United States, that damn Maxwell insisted I'd be blind in this eye for life."
