Hearing Luo Xiang’s mocking voice, Wang Damao’s brows immediately furrowed.
He looked at Luo Xiang unhappily and said, "Dr. Luo, Wu Tian is a truly capable person, and everyone is here to save a life. It doesn't seem right for you to say that about Wu Tian, does it?"
Luo Xiang completely disregarded his words and scoffed, "Shouldn't I be laughing?"
"Who else would you trust but him? Isn't this just you fooling around?"
Wang Damao no longer felt the need to give Luo Xiang face. He said coldly, "Our village believed you, but then what? What did you bring us?"
"It's one thing if you're incompetent, but you're also jealous of those who are capable. I think your heart is truly dark!"
"What did you say?!" Luo Xiang was angered by Wang Damao's words.
He said darkly, "I'm jealous of him? I, a dignified director, would be jealous of a village doctor?"
"I'm putting it out there today: he absolutely cannot do anything. This situation is a dead end now, and it's useless to call anyone!"
Wu Tian stood up and looked at Luo Xiang coldly, "Listening to your words, you seem quite pleased with yourself, don't you? What, after bringing things to this point, do you think you've accomplished something?"
Luo Xiang's expression stiffened slightly, then he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I made things this way? You're just a useless village doctor, what do you know!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "If you couldn't handle this matter, and you had informed me immediately or sent him to the hospital promptly, things wouldn't have become like this."
"But you insisted on doing it yourself. Isn't that your responsibility?"
Luo Xiang angrily retorted, "Tell you? What good would telling you do? That's five-pace viper venom. Can you cure it?"
"You have no idea what happened, so don't stand there second-guessing!"
"I have no idea what happened?" Wu Tian pointed at Liu Qiaofu and said, "Look at him, poisoned by the snake. So you used the Kaitian Needling technique to try and force out the snake venom. Am I correct?"
"This..." Hearing Wu Tian's words, Luo Xiang faltered again.
Immediately, he frowned and said, "How would you know about the Kaitian Needling technique? That's a top-tier needling technique that exists in the world today. How can you, a village doctor, know this?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "You don't need to worry about how I know. But from what I see, you haven't been practicing the Kaitian Needling technique for long, have you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to show it off."
"I guess your goal was purely to show off."
These words struck a chord with Luo Xiang. Wu Tian was absolutely right; he had only recently had the fortune to learn the Kaitian Needling technique and had never had a chance to use it.
Liu Qiaofu's situation this time was a perfect opportunity.
He had intended to resolve the snake venom and have everyone worship him, but unexpectedly, it had backfired.
His gaze flickered, and then he raised his voice again, speaking with an air of certainty, "Since you know I used the Kaitian Needling technique, you should know that there was nothing wrong with what I did."
"The Kaitian Needling technique is meant to open up the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body. Now that he's been bitten by a snake, am I wrong to use the Kaitian Needling technique?"
Wu Tian stared into his eyes and said, "Since you believe you didn't use it incorrectly, then tell me, why couldn't you cure him, and instead turned him into this state?"
"While the venom of the five-pace viper is potent, it's not as potent as rumored. By all rights, Liu Qiaofu shouldn't have become like this so quickly, should he?"
Luo Xiang became somewhat hesitant. In fact, he knew his actions were likely problematic.
After all, Liu Qiaofu had only started to react violently after he had inserted the needles.
But he refused to admit his mistake, so he forcefully said, "What you're saying is completely unreasonable, isn't it? You're completely blaming me?"
"What a joke. My needling technique is flawless. By conventional standards, he should be well by now."
"But he's not well now, so that's his own problem. It has nothing to do with me!"
Wu Tian suddenly shouted, "You still dare to say it has nothing to do with you! I'm telling you, the current situation was caused by your unauthorized needling!"
"The Kaitian Needling technique can only be used when the poison has entered the five internal organs. But when Liu Qiaofu was brought in, the toxins were still in his blood vessels, not yet in his internal organs."
"But by using the Kaitian Needling technique, you opened the passages to his internal organs, which directly caused the snake venom to flow from his blood vessels into his internal organs."
"Tell me, is this not your problem?"
Wu Tian's questioning was deafening. Luo Xiang felt as if a gong was being struck in his ears, and his entire brain seemed to go numb.
Although Aunt Zhang didn't understand the medical details, she knew that this matter was indeed related to Luo Xiang.
So she roared at him angrily, "Wu Tian said it's your fault, what else do you have to say!"
"You killed my husband! You pay with my husband's life! You pay with my husband's life!"
Aunt Zhang's agitated state made Luo Xiang's heart sink halfway.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Tian's words made sense.
This accident might indeed have been caused by his negligence!
But he still didn't want to admit such a thing. With so many people watching, if everyone knew that he had accelerated the patient's death just to show off, how could he continue to work in the future? He might not even be able to keep his director position!
So he waved his hand dismissively and denied it outright, "Impossible! I absolutely do not accept what you're saying. You're just talking nonsense!"
"Although I don't know where you learned the Kaitian Needling technique, so what? In the end, you're just a village doctor."
"What level can you possibly have? Your words have no credibility!"
"Are you jealous that I took your position as director? But to use such a method to slander me, aren't you too insidious!"
"Slander me?" Wu Tian said coldly, "You've done something wrong yourself, and you still have the nerve to accuse others of slandering you?"
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a doctor."
"After I cure Liu Qiaofu, you should leave this place, lest you cause me more trouble."
Luo Xiang said with suspicion, "What did you just say? Cure him? I think you've lost your mind."
"In his current condition, he's as good as dead. How can you cure him? What can you use to cure him?"
Luo Xiang's words were aggressive, clearly showing his disbelief in Wu Tian.
Wu Tian had no intention of wasting more words with him, only saying coldly, "You can just watch from the side to see how he's saved."
