Jin Shiyi's words were like sharp ice blades in the cold winter wind, both resolute and straightforward, silently weaving a heavy picture of moral shackles for Wu Tian.
In this web, Wu Tian is caught in a dilemma: if he refuses, the friendship will be in vain, and public opinion will be overwhelming.
If you agree, you're heading towards a dead end.
In this dilemma, defeat is inevitable for both sides.
A look of disbelief and shock flashed in Wu Tian's eyes. He had never expected that Liu Erhe's brilliant plan would be so decisive and tragic, like the most untouchable icicle in the cold night.
He slowly turned around, his gaze falling intently on Liu Erhe. His tone was calm but contained a hint of doubt: "Is this the so-called foolproof plan of Doctor Liu? How can we treat Senior Sister's illness so lightly? Risking her life will not only fail to help her recovery, but may also deepen her inner turmoil and even lead to more unknown consequences."
Liu Erhe shook his head slightly, a warm yet elusive smile on his lips, as if everything in the world was under his control.
“Brother Wu Tian, you may not know this, but things in this world often require extraordinary means to achieve their results. Miss Jin’s illness is rooted in love. She is trapped by love and cannot be relieved without it. You and I are both outsiders. Only she can save herself. What we can do is create an opportunity for her to face her own heart and let go.”
Jin Shiyi stared intently at Wu Tian with piercing eyes. His voice was cold, yet carried an unyielding determination: "I have decided to treat you using this method. If you truly care for Lingyun, then cooperate with this method."
Wu Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at Jin Shiyi. He knew Jin Shiyi's deep love for Jin Lingyun and understood everything Jin Shiyi had done for her.
But he simply couldn't accept such an extreme approach.
“If it were for my senior sister, I would be willing to go through fire and water, but I cannot agree with this pointless sacrifice.” He looked directly at Liu Erhe, his voice steady and powerful, “Doctor Liu, is this method really foolproof? Sacrificing one person to save another, is that benevolent? Besides, we have no idea whether this method can truly save my senior sister.”
Wu Tian's voice was deep and powerful, each word seemingly coming from the bottom of his heart, filled with concern for Jin Lingyun and doubt about Liu Erhe.
Seeing this, Liu Erhe smiled confidently, as if he had the stars under his control. He said gently, "Brother Wu Tian, please rest assured. This method can definitely solve Miss Jin's predicament. Moreover, you don't need to actually die. You just need to put on a 'fake death' act with Elder Jin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Shiyi’s voice came like ice cracking stone, cold and sharp: “I originally thought you were genuinely concerned for Lingyun, but I didn’t expect that as soon as you heard that it would require sacrificing your life, you would make so many excuses. You are truly hypocritical and chilling.”
Liu Caidie echoed, her words revealing her sharp tongue: "Old Jin is absolutely right. He is nothing but a charlatan with no real talent or ability, and he is also stingy with the slightest sacrifice."
After speaking, she turned to Wu Tian, her eyes full of disdain and sarcasm, but then added in an alluring tone: "Wu Tian, you don't need to worry. We will certainly not let you work for nothing. You will get a share of the reward."
Wu Tian's eyes darkened slightly, and his tone carried a hint of inquiry: "Are you so certain that this method can cure my senior sister's illness?"
Liu Caidie smiled slightly, full of confidence, her voice clear and melodious, yet unable to conceal her contempt: "My grandfather never misses a move. Once he strikes, he is absolutely foolproof. As for you, don't try to show off your illusory medical skills. In our eyes, you are nothing but a joke."
Liu Erhe interjected at the right moment, trying to smooth things over, but his tone was subtly suggestive: "Cai Die, you should leave some room for maneuver in your words. You should know that there are always people more capable than you. Although Brother Wu Tian did not have the opportunity to demonstrate his medical skills today, his talent may be hidden."
Despite this, a faint hint of indifference flickered in his eyes. Clearly, in his mind, Wu Tian was also a mere figurehead, but due to his status, he spoke more tactfully.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's lips curled into a meaningful sneer, and he retorted sarcastically, "Dr. Liu, you are mistaken. I not only have the opportunity to prove myself, but I will also use your great reputation to prove myself."
"What do you mean?"
No sooner had Wu Tian finished speaking than Liu Caidie shouted indignantly, "Do you think my grandfather is powerless to save Miss Jin? Do you think you can? Do you naively believe that his medical skills are inferior to yours?"
Wu Tian shrugged lightly, avoiding a direct confrontation with the furious question, and responded with a calm demeanor: "Perhaps it is a bit too early for me to draw conclusions at this time, but the truth will soon come to light."
Liu Caidie took a deep breath, her anger still burning, and questioned sharply, "Hmph! You ignorant fool, if my grandfather could cure Miss Jin's illness, how would you explain yourself?"
Wu Tian smiled calmly and said nonchalantly, "If that's really the case, I'm willing to give my life to you!"
His words were so powerful that even the surrounding air seemed to tremble.
It was as if they had already foreseen that Liu Erhe would be unable to cure Jin Lingyun.
All eyes were drawn to Liu Erhe, a renowned senior physician, who was being questioned by a young man. It was unclear how he would respond.
However, Liu Erhe did not express his opinion. Instead, Liu Caidie spoke in a cold tone with a hint of calculation: "Your worthless life is of no value to us. But if my grandfather is successfully cured, you will have to become my servant and follow my lead in everything."
Although Wu Tian doesn't offer any other advantages, he possesses skills that surpass Jin Shiyi's. If one could get him to be a bodyguard for free, it would definitely be a worthwhile gamble.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian understood the woman's ulterior motives, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he chuckled and asked, "Then, what about the other way around? If your grandfather is helpless, what should we do then?"
His gaze was sharp and resolute, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of Liu Caidie's heart.
Meeting Wu Tian's sharp gaze, Liu Caidie couldn't help but feel a chill, but she quickly regained her composure and replied with a cold laugh, "As long as my grandfather takes action, there is no disease that cannot be cured."
Wu Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. "Since it's a fair bet, both sides should have their own chips. You can't just get something for nothing, can you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Caidie's eyes flashed with a sly glint, and she said confidently, "Since that's the case, then I'll bet with you. If my grandfather can't cure Miss Jin's illness, but you can, then I'll become your servant and do whatever you say."
