When these words were spoken, Bai Ruoqi's beautiful eyes were already filled with a chilling cold, clearly angered by Zhong Shi's words.
However, anyone would be angry in such a situation, wouldn't they?
After all, this was already considered a complete slander. Who would tolerate such a thing?
Zhong Shi also realized he had said the wrong thing.
But he was both angry and anxious, so he couldn't help but say, "President Bai, I didn't mean it like that, but no matter what, what you're doing isn't very good, is it?"
"It's a matter of life and death now. Doctor Li knows how to save people, but you won't let him? Isn't that going too far?"
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "Did I ever say he couldn't save him? I just said that before that, we could consider Wu Tian's suggestion. Is there a problem with that?"
"If what Wu Tian said is true, then what should we do?"
Zhong Shi said, "President Bai, I don't know why you trust him so much, but even he himself said he's just a village doctor. What kind of skills can a village doctor have?"
"So I don't believe him. I only believe Doctor Li. If Doctor Li says he can save him, then he can save him."
"As for what others say, I don't believe a single word!"
Bai Ruoqi felt like she was offering a warm welcome to a cold shoulder, and her displeasure grew.
She sat down on the sofa and said coldly, "Fine, if you don't believe it, then don't."
"But if something goes wrong later, don't ask Wu Tian to take responsibility!"
Hearing Bai Ruoqi say this, Li Zhe felt very unconvinced.
He thought to himself, why should this be? He was so capable, yet Bai Ruoqi didn't appreciate him, and instead chose to believe a village doctor. Wasn't this just fooling around?
Jealousy gradually occupied his heart.
He felt that this wouldn't do; he couldn't be looked down upon. So he said, "President Bai, although I don't know what you're thinking, I feel that you are disrespecting me by doing this."
Bai Ruoqi glanced at him, revealing a queen-like authority, "Disrespect?"
"First of all, I am not disrespecting you. Secondly, even if I were disrespecting you, what of it? Can you do anything to me?"
Li Zhe was so angry that his teeth itched.
But given his status, he naturally wouldn't dare to say much to Bai Ruoqi. So he could only shift the conflict to Wu Tian.
He glared at Wu Tian and said, "Kid, you seem very confident in yourself, don't you?"
"It just so happens that I am also like that; I am full of confidence in myself."
"Since we can't decide who is better, how about this? Shall we make a bet?"
"A bet?" Wu Tian raised an eyebrow. "I advise you not to do such a thing."
"In this world, no one who dares to bet with me has ever won."
Li Zhe thought Wu Tian was joking. He sneered and said, "Is that so? In that case, I'm even more eager to try."
"I want to see whether my experience and knowledge are more impressive, or your ability to blabber!"
Good advice is wasted on deaf ears. Seeing that Li Zhe was unreasonable, Wu Tian had no choice.
He nodded and said, "Since you insist on betting with me, it's not a problem for me to bet with you."
"But I'm saying this upfront: the bet is the bet, but you can't go back on your word later!"
Li Zhe never thought he would lose, so he grinned and said, "No problem. I'm a man of my word, so I will absolutely not break the agreement."
"Since we're betting, let's bet big."
"Whoever loses has to run downstairs and shout three times that I am a waste. What do you think?"
"Betting so big?" Wu Tian said with a cold smile. "It's always better to leave some room for yourself when you're dealing with people. Don't end up trapping yourself."
Li Zhe said, "You don't need to remind me. So, do you dare to accept the condition I proposed?"
"If you don't dare, then forget it. I won't force you."
Li Zhe said it so casually, but in reality, that's not what he thought.
He felt that his reputation had been greatly damaged because of Wu Tian.
Therefore, he had to step on Wu Tian as much as possible and take this opportunity to show his own abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to let it go.
Wu Tian was not a fool. From Li Zhe's sinister gaze, he knew exactly what Li Zhe was thinking.
And since Li Zhe insisted on bringing trouble upon himself, Wu Tian naturally didn't mind.
He smiled and said, "Alright, since you've said it like this, it would be unreasonable if I didn't cooperate."
"I agree to your terms. Let's do as you say. Now you can give him the stimulant."
Li Zhe felt that victory was within his grasp.
He sighed and shook his head, "Young people are always impulsive. I hope this loss will teach you a lesson."
After speaking, Li Zhe picked up the syringe again and inserted it into Zhong Shan's chest.
With a squeeze, the stimulant was injected. Li Zhe withdrew the needle and performed a few more chest compressions on Zhong Shan to help the medicine absorb better.
After these compressions, not long after, Zhong Shan coughed violently, then opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhong Shi was overjoyed.
Li Zhe also smiled triumphantly at Wu Tian, "How about that? Didn't I say there would be no problem!"
"Did I win this bet?"
At this sight, even Bai Ruoqi's expression changed.
She naturally sided with Wu Tian and didn't want to see him embarrassed in public.
But now the facts were right in front of her. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
While Bai Ruoqi was so nervous, Wu Tian's expression remained calm.
He said, "Are you sure you've really won? It's better not to speak too soon."
Li Zhe thought Wu Tian was just putting up a last-ditch resistance.
He sneered and said, "Kid, you're still being stubborn at this point. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
"You lost, so you lost. I hope you can recognize the situation. If you can't afford to lose, it's too boring."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I'm not someone who can't afford to lose, but I haven't lost at all."
"Haven't you noticed that President Zhong's condition is a bit off?"
Li Zhe looked at Zhong Shan and was stunned, because he realized that Zhong Shan did indeed have some problems.
According to past experience, Zhong Shan should have recovered directly and been able to stand up and walk.
But why was Zhong Shan still unable to get up now?
In his confusion, he gently pushed Zhong Shan and asked, "President Zhong, how are you feeling now?"
