Dozens of luxury cars appeared outside the athletics field.
Leading the convoy was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, followed by over forty black Mercedes-Benzes.
The grand display immediately drew the attention of many spectators.
“Who’s arrived?”
“Looks like some big shot.”
“Ordinary people can’t afford to ride in a Rolls-Royce.”
“…”
The audience whispered among themselves.
A moment later, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and Li Zhengxi and Li Minghan stepped out.
Instantly, the crowd erupted in jeers.
“Damn, it’s Li Zhengxi!”
“Old geezer sure knows how to live it up!”
“Losing the competition and still putting on such a show? Shameless!”
Li Zhengxi hadn’t even entered the athletics field when he heard the jeers, his heart sinking with frustration.
You idiots, do you think I wanted to ride in a luxury car?
I didn’t want to.
I was forced.
This morning, as soon as Li Zhengxi and his son left the hotel, they were “invited” into the Rolls-Royce by Han Long.
Han Long claimed he was escorting them to the competition venue, but Li Zhengxi knew full well that Han Long was making sure they didn’t flee.
“Mr. Li, abandon your unrealistic fantasies and focus on the competition.”
“It’s best if this can all end today.”
“Otherwise, I’ll be escorting you like this every day.”
Han Long waved at Li Zhengxi with a smile before closing the car door.
Li Zhengxi was so angry his nose nearly twisted out of shape.
How could he not tell that Han Long was threatening him?
“Hmph~”
Li Zhengxi let out a cold snort and walked into the athletics field.
The next second, his face froze in shock.
“Minghan, why are there so many spectators today?” Li Zhengxi asked.
Li Minghan looked dazed, as if overwhelmed by the scene.
“I get it,” Li Zhengxi suddenly said, “It must be Ye Qiu’s doing.”
“He won yesterday’s competition, so today he called in even more spectators to watch.”
“His goal is to humiliate me in front of a bigger crowd!”
Li Minghan fumed, “Father, Ye Qiu is too cunning. We can’t let him have his way.”
Li Zhengxi nodded, “Minghan, proceed with the plan we discussed last night.”
“No matter what, we must defeat that kid today.”
“I can’t afford to lose again.”
At this, Li Zhengxi glanced at Ye Qiu on the stage, sneering, “Kid, you brought all these spectators here, but when I win, let’s see how you handle the fallout.”
With that, Li Zhengxi strode onto the stage.
Ye Qiu stood on the platform, his eyes fixed on Li Zhengxi, staring intently.
This made Li Zhengxi uncomfortable.
“What are you looking at me for?” Li Zhengxi couldn’t help but ask.
“Mr. Li, did you not rest well last night?” Ye Qiu asked, feigning concern.
Li Zhengxi replied, “I rested quite well.”
“Is that so? Mr. Li, there’s something I’m not sure if I should mention.”
“Go ahead.”
Ye Qiu said earnestly, “Mr. Li, I’m a highly skilled Chinese medicine practitioner, as I’m sure you’ve already noticed.”
“Just now, I observed you, and I noticed dark circles under your eyes, a puffy face, and heavy steps, classic signs of weakness in the lower back and knees.”
“My diagnosis is that you’re suffering from prostatitis.”
Ye Qiu’s voice carried through the microphone, reaching the entire audience.
“Hahaha…”
The crowd roared with laughter.
Li Zhengxi’s face turned livid, his urge to tear Ye Qiu apart almost overwhelming.
You bastard, how dare you mock me.
This is intolerable.
Ye Qiu continued, “Mr. Li, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, prostatitis is treatable. Would you like me to help you with treatment?”
Treat your damn self.
Despicable Chinese, shut your mouth.
Li Zhengxi glared at Ye Qiu and said, “Ye Qiu, you’re mocking me on stage. Is that appropriate?”
“Mocking? How am I mocking you? Mr. Li, you need evidence when you speak. Are you saying you don’t have prostatitis? Even if you don’t, you’re definitely suffering from kidney deficiency.”
As Ye Qiu’s words landed, the crowd burst into laughter again.
“You—” Li Zhengxi pointed at Ye Qiu, too furious to speak.
Ye Qiu asked with a grin, “Mr. Li, I can treat you using Chinese medicine techniques.”
“No need,” Li Zhengxi said icily, “Enough nonsense, let’s start the competition!”
Ye Qiu immediately asked, “Mr. Li, what’s the topic for this round?”
Li Zhengxi replied, “Still treating patients.”
Ye Qiu kindly advised, “Mr. Li, I suggest you change the topic. You’re no match for me in treating patients, you already saw that yesterday.”
“We’ll stick with treating patients today,” Li Zhengxi said, “The rules are the same as yesterday: whoever achieves better treatment results and does it faster wins.”
This old fool won’t give up until he’s at the Yellow River!
Fine, if you want to die, I’ll send you on your way.
So, Ye Qiu said, “Since Mr. Li insists on treating patients, let’s bring the patients up!”
Li Zhengxi waved to the crowd below, and immediately, he and another Korean escorted two patients onto the stage.
Both patients were women.
They appeared to be around thirty years old.
They looked perfectly normal, with rosy complexions and no signs of illness, not at all like patients.
Ye Qiu glanced at the two patients, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He had already guessed what this round would entail.
Sure enough, as expected.
Li Zhengxi announced, “These two patients are congenitally deaf and mute.”
“For this round, we’ll compete on treating them.”
“Whoever can make their ears hear and their mouths speak will win.”
“If both of us succeed, then whoever does it in less time wins.”
“Ye Qiu, do you dare to compete with me in this?”
Li Zhengxi’s demeanour radiated confidence, as if victory was already his.
Below the stage, the three national medical masters cursed in unison.
“Li Zhengxi is shameless. His greatest expertise is treating deaf-mute patients. It’s safe to say that in treating deaf-mute conditions, there’s hardly a doctor in the world who surpasses Li Zhengxi.”
“Li Zhengxi is challenging Ye Qiu in his area of expertise. This is a significant challenge for Ye Qiu.”
“Ye Qiu is under a lot of pressure for this round!”
Seeing the three national medical masters worry for Ye Qiu, Qin Gang reassured them, “No need to worry.”
“Ye Qiu has already won two rounds. Even if he loses this one, it’s still two to one.”
“Li Zhengxi’s defeat is sealed.”
On stage, seeing Ye Qiu’s silence, Li Zhengxi said, “Are you afraid to compete with me? If you don’t dare, just concede and save us the time.”
Ye Qiu replied, “Mr. Li, let me ask you, if you lose this round, will you take your own life in public?”
Li Zhengxi said confidently, “I won’t lose this round.”
“What if you do?” Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Li Zhengxi declared, “There’s no ‘what if.’ I will win.”
“Alright, since Mr. Li is so confident, let’s begin!”
