As Li Zhe spoke the latter part, his voice suddenly rose, and his demeanor became considerably sharper.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Ruoqi felt a surge of displeasure.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you being too shameless? Do you think we're all deaf? You clearly said..."
"President Bai," Li Zhe interrupted Bai Ruoqi.
A cold glint appeared in his eyes. "With your noble status, why are you speaking such words now?"
"Could it be that your comprehension skills are also lacking?"
"You!" Bai Ruoqi was infuriated by Li Zhe.
However, faced with such words, she truly didn't know what to say. After all, if Li Zhe was determined to be unreasonable, even she would be somewhat helpless.
At this moment, Wu Tian said with a faint smile, "Perhaps I did misunderstand. My apologies, I seem to have misinterpreted your meaning."
Bai Ruoqi looked at Wu Tian in surprise, not expecting him to compromise with Li Zhe.
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Li Zhe chuckled mockingly, "Is that so? In that case, shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"What did you say?" Bai Ruoqi was shocked by Li Zhe's audacity and immediately flew into a rage. "Li Zhe, aren't you utterly shameless!"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, saying, "President Bai, please don't get agitated. Since this is a matter between the two of us, why don't you leave it to me to handle?"
With that, Wu Tian looked at Li Zhe and said, "Doctor Li, I've always been someone who speaks based on facts."
"If I made a mistake, then I made a mistake."
"But then again..." A coldness flickered in his eyes. "If I really manage to wake him up, will you have nothing more to say?"
"What?" Wu Tian's words caught Li Zhe off guard.
Wu Tian continued with a smile, "You heard correctly. I mean exactly what you heard."
"If I truly succeed, you will honestly fulfill the terms of our wager, won't you?"
Wu Tian's words stunned everyone present.
Li Zhe stared blankly at Wu Tian and said, "Kid, do you even know what you're saying?"
"Let me tell you, President Zhong's heart has already stopped beating!"
"President Zhong is no different from a dead person."
"You say you can save him? What, are you an immortal, capable of raising the dead?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't speak too soon. What if I really can wake him up?"
Li Zhe scoffed, "Keep dreaming. I truly don't believe you can accomplish such a feat!"
Zhong Shi, overhearing their conversation, could no longer hold back and said to Wu Tian, "Can you really save my elder brother? Are you joking?"
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "I am a doctor, after all. As a doctor, how could I joke about someone's life?"
"Just watch. In just three seconds, I will be able to wake him up."
"Three seconds?" Zhong Shi was immediately stunned upon hearing this, and Bai Ruoqi also showed an expression of disbelief.
Even though she believed Wu Tian without reason, she still felt that Wu Tian's claim was too preposterous. Could such a thing truly happen?
Li Zhe angrily accused, "Kid, are you out of your mind?"
"In three seconds, you can't even wake someone up, let alone make their heart start beating again?"
"I've never heard of such a thing. I think you're just talking nonsense!"
Wu Tian looked at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Judging by your demeanor, you don't want to see President Zhong wake up, do you?"
Li Zhe was slightly taken aback, then retorted angrily, "Nonsense! Don't try to pin this on me. I don't think that at all!"
"But what you're saying is impossible. There is absolutely no such medical skill in this world!"
Wu Tian sneered, "How interesting. You call yourself a heart disease specialist, yet in the end, you're just a frog in a well."
He then said to Zhong Shi, "The tools I need are simple. Find me a silver needle. I intend to use acupuncture to treat the illness."
"Acupuncture?" Li Zhe became even more incredulous upon hearing Wu Tian's words.
He angrily exclaimed, "Kid, I thought you had some real skill. Acupuncture? Aren't you just messing around?"
"What is acupuncture? It's all a scam!"
"Besides, you want to treat an illness with a single needle? That's pure fantasy!"
"I think you're just a fraud. Stop pretending. I've seen through all of it!"
Li Zhe's agitated state seemed no different from a clown in Wu Tian's eyes.
He saw no point in saying more and continued to look at Zhong Shi, saying,
"The silver needle I need, can you find it for me?"
"If you don't believe me either, then forget it."
"After all, it doesn't affect me in any way. I'm indifferent."
Zhong Shi was skeptical of Wu Tian's words, but he had no other choice now. If he didn't believe Wu Tian, should he send Zhong Shan directly to the funeral home?
He quickly said, "I understand. I'll go buy it right away, right away!"
With that, he hurried out and soon returned with a set of silver needles.
Seeing Wu Tian pull out a silver needle, Bai Ruoqi still said with some concern, "Wu Tian, is this really okay? Are you confident?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's not a matter of confidence, but rather that there's no difficulty at all."
As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Wu Tian's eyes.
He held the silver needle between his fingers, flicked his wrist, and the needle shot out with a swish, piercing Zhong Shan's chest.
In an instant, something incredible happened.
The blood vessels on Zhong Shan's chest clearly protruded like a spiderweb, and those vessels were even pulsing.
Zhong Shan's previously still face immediately showed a look of struggle.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes and, as if electrocuted, sprang up!
This scene stunned everyone.
Zhong Shan sat on the ground, panting, as if he had experienced a terrible nightmare.
After his breathing stabilized, he couldn't help but look around and ask, "What happened to me?"
Zhong Shi looked at Zhong Shan in horror and stammered, "Big brother, you... you're alright?"
Zhong Shan looked confused and said, "Something happened? What could have happened to me? I feel perfectly fine right now!"
The crowd fell silent again. Clearly, the current situation had far exceeded their expectations, leaving them speechless.
At this moment, Wu Tian looked at Li Zhe with a smile and said, "Doctor Li, are you willing to admit defeat now that you've lost the bet?"
