The third question was asked by Jingguo. Is Jingguo sure to win this time?
Will Baili Tang ask questions immediately or delay?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Baili Tang, waiting for him to speak.
Baili Tang wasn't one for impatience, but he didn't want to keep the secret this time, so he said, "I'm a fair man. Let's put it this way. I'll set the third question. I'll give you three days to think about it. Three days later, at the same time, we'll have another competition here."
