As Liang Tian asked this question, he still felt a sense of anticipation, thinking that Wu Tian should not be the person he thought him to be.
But Wu Tian shrugged and said, "What do you think?"
Liang Tian was instantly stunned.
From Wu Tian's faint gaze, he could tell that Wu Tian was not lying; this person was indeed the champion of the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Competition!
For a moment, a sense of immense absurdity engulfed Liang Tian's mind.
He never expected something like this to happen. He initially thought Wu Tian was a good-for-nothing, but unexpectedly, Wu Tian was simply playing the pig to eat the tiger!
"How could such a thing happen..." His head had gone numb, and he felt as if countless ants were frantically traversing his cerebral cortex.
Afterward, Wu Tian smiled at him again and said, "Enough said, there's nothing more to say. Let's talk about other things first."
"For example... I won, what should you do?"
Liang Tian's body trembled instantly, and he stammered, "You... what do you mean, what do you want to do?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do, isn't it?"
"The bet was proposed by you."
"What, now that you've lost to me, are you planning to renege on it?"
Liang Tian naturally did not want to honor the bet, as he had proposed it with absolute certainty that he would win.
But he never expected that he would actually lose!
For him, such a thing was absolutely unacceptable; otherwise, how could he continue to mix in society?
Therefore, he said, "Wait a moment, I have something to say."
"The bet I just proposed was not something I said sincerely; I was just joking with you."
"I originally thought you understood what I meant, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"But it's okay if there was a misunderstanding. I won't hold it against you. We are all in the same profession, so why make things so awkward between us, don't you think?"
Wu Tian had already anticipated Liang Tian's sudden change of tune.
He sneered and said, "This sounds so familiar. Oh, right, I said the exact same thing just now, didn't I?"
"But how did you respond to me then? Let me think, yes, you said I wasn't in the same profession as you."
"What, are you acknowledging my identity now? Isn't your change of heart a bit too quick?"
Liang Tian felt extremely awkward, but at this point, what else could he do?
He just continued to put on a brave face and said, "I already said I was just joking, why don't you listen?"
"Fine, since you won't listen, then forget it."
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, that's enough! This is really boring!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
After speaking, Liang Tian intended to leave quickly.
But at that moment, Xiao Qiang stepped forward and blocked his path, saying coldly, "Doctor Liang, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to leave like this, does it?"
Liang Tian was startled and then frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You called me here to treat the illness. Now that the person is well, why should I stay here? Is there any need?"
Xiao Qiang said, "Liang Tian, I trusted you so much, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
"You clearly didn't have the confidence, yet you dared to treat my grandfather."
"If Wu Tian hadn't been here today, my grandfather would have been killed by you!"
"Not only that, but you're incompetent, and you even dared to make such demands on our family just now. Tell me, how should this debt be settled?"
"This... I..." Liang Tian was speechless.
With his status and ability, he was not truly capable of confronting the Xiao family. The reason he dared to be so arrogant before was entirely because Old Master Xiao needed him for treatment.
But the situation was different now. Once Old Master Xiao was well, he had no leverage over the Xiao family.
So, at this moment, if the Xiao family wanted to get rid of him, a single finger would be enough.
He knew that his previous arrogant attitude had caused trouble, but he still braced himself and said, "Mr. Xiao, this isn't very good of you, is it?"
"No matter what, you invited me here, didn't you?"
"I just failed to cure the person, and you're treating me like this. What's the difference between this and a medical dispute?"
Xiao Qiang said grimly, "Fine, I can overlook this matter."
"But you must honor the bet with Wu Tian. Otherwise, I won't let you leave."
Liang Tian said urgently, "No, what does this have to do with you?"
"Isn't this between the two of us? Isn't it inappropriate for you to interfere?"
Xiao Qiang said, "Wu Tian is a very important friend to our Xiao family. Since you have a bet with Wu Tian, you must admit your loss.
"Even if Wu Tian doesn't hold it against you, we can't let him be wronged."
"So I'm warning you, it's best to do what you should do now."
"If you insist on leaving here, then I'm sorry, our Xiao family is not a place you can come and go as you please!"
As soon as Xiao Qiang finished speaking, the others immediately understood his meaning and stepped forward, surrounding Liang Tian.
Liang Tian said fearfully, "What do you want to do? If you dare to use violence, I'll call the police!"
Xiao Qiang said sternly, "Call the police? You can try."
"I'll make you understand whether it's you who goes to jail, or our family who goes to jail!"
Liang Tian knew that this was the capital!
Moreover, the Xiao family was one of the eight great families. Even if Xiao Qiang crippled him, there would be no punishment in the end.
Under such immense pressure, he was finally on the verge of collapse, and he said tremblingly, "No, you don't have to be like this, aren't you going too far..."
Xiao Lu said coldly, "Too far? When you asked me to be your girlfriend, why didn't you think it was too far?"
"You must kneel before Wu Tian today, and nothing you say will be of any use!"
Liang Tian cast a pleading look at Wu Tian, hoping that Wu Tian would soften his heart and let him off.
But Wu Tian just looked at him faintly, with no intention of saying anything on his behalf.
Seeing this, Liang Tian finally understood how big a mistake he had made. It would have been better if he had just left directly back then. Why did he have to turn back and compare himself with Wu Tian?
In the end, this comparison only harmed himself.
Under duress, he had no choice.
No matter how humiliated he felt inside, he could only obediently kneel before Wu Tian and completely lower his once proud head to Wu Tian...
