She quickly dodged. Sure enough, one should never reveal their true identity casually.
Seeing this, the team leader felt deeply guilty. It was he who had asked Shi Wan to save the patient, but he never expected that instead of gratitude, she would be troubled.
They all knew exactly how Qi Meng had treated Shi Wan before. After all, this was someone else's territory, and it wasn't wise to make things too tense.
"Shi Wan, please help us. Doctors are supposed to save lives. You can't just stand by and watch!"
"What if I can't save him?"
"Can't save him?" Qi Meng and the other two exchanged glances. "How could that be? You must be able to!"
"I can't save him."
"Aren't doctors supposed to save lives? Why won't you?"
"Yes, as long as you want to, you can definitely save him."
Shi Wan sneered. Did they mean that if she couldn't save the patient, it was because she had done it on purpose?
People were always like this. When doctors did something good, most people would praise them. But once something went wrong, everyone would turn against them.
It wasn't uncommon for people to condemn all doctors because of one incident.
One moment they were calling doctors true angels in white, and the next moment they were calling them devils.
"Is it... because of Qi Meng that you don't want to save my child?"
Qi Meng's mother grabbed her. She had heard before that Qi Meng seemed to have had a conflict with someone, and now she thought it must be Shi Wan.
Before Shi Wan could say anything, Qi Meng's mother twisted Qi Meng's ear. "It's all your fault! Hurry up and apologize! If this young lady doesn't save your brother, you can just go and die!"
These words were not only for Qi Meng but also for Shi Wan.
They didn't believe that she could be so heartless.
"I... I'm sorry, really sorry."
"Keep going! Kneel down and kowtow!"
Shi Wan watched expressionlessly and then turned to leave.
"Wait!" Qi Meng's father, who had been silent all this time, finally swallowed his pride. "Miss Shi Wan, please save my son. If you don't act soon, he will really die."
"I need a consultation fee." Shi Wan frowned impatiently. "At least one million."
"What?" Qi Meng's father, who had never seen so much money, stammered. "But aren't you a doctor? Why do you still charge fees? Isn't this taking advantage of us?"
The team leader couldn't stand it anymore. "Doctors are only human. Medicine and other things, including the heart source, all cost money. These things don't belong to the doctors. Why should they be responsible for your whole family? You don't want to pay for the treatment when you're sick, but you expect the doctors to pay? And if they can't save the patient, they'll be blamed by you? Are doctors gods?"
"Yes, and good medicine is very expensive."
...
Thinking about how Qi Meng had wanted someone to donate a heart for free before, everyone felt uncomfortable.
"I... but we don't have the money. Are we just supposed to watch our child die?"
Seeing that everyone was speaking up for Shi Wan, the Qi family fell silent.
Qi Meng was still kneeling and apologizing. Without her mother's permission, she didn't dare to get up.
"In that case... then no one is allowed to leave!"
Qi Meng's father gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.
"What do you want to do?" The village head stepped forward and shouted sternly. "If your family doesn't have the money, you can find a way. What you're doing is against the law!"
"I don't care. My son is dying, and the Qi family will have no descendants. What's the point of living anymore?" Qi Meng's father snorted. "This woman can clearly save my son but refuses to act. Isn't it all about the money? Would she really let my son die for the sake of money?"
"Why don't you pay if you're so willing?" Shi Wan said lazily. "And what about the money Qi Meng took from me? Why don't you mention that?"
"You..."
"I found that money. It's not yours. Do you even have any money?"
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Qi Meng panicked.
"I have a short video. How about I show it to everyone?"
"Video?"
Qi Meng, who had grown up in poverty, didn't really understand what it was. She only vaguely heard people mention something like a TV.
"Your video is fake. There's no point in watching it."
Without a signal or a screen, Shi Wan only showed the video to a few important people.
"Qi Meng, how can you have the nerve to ask someone to save your brother?"
After watching the video, the village head even felt ashamed to look at Shi Wan.
"Village head, it's fake."
"She recorded it herself. How could it be fake?"
Not only did Qi Meng take someone else's money, but she had also pushed that person down a slope. Wasn't that attempted murder?
"Village head!"
The Qi family's elders began to sense that something was wrong and stopped pleading with Shi Wan.
Their vicious side was unleashed. "I don't care. Qi Meng is Qi Meng. What she did has nothing to do with us. If you don't save my son, none of you will be allowed to leave!"
"We feel the same way. It's not that we don't want to save the patient. If you want to arrest someone, arrest Shi Wan. It has nothing to do with us!"
Chang Chao had been listening in disgust for a long time. After hearing this, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Damn it!"
Even the well - behaved students from Beinan University couldn't help it when they encountered such a thing.
"Exactly. And is this what your university taught you? Swearing..."
"Chang Chao, we know our students very well. Their quality may not be perfect, but compared to yours, it's excellent. If we've made you uncomfortable, it's on purpose."
"Du Peng, you!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you're so capable, save the patient yourself."
"They won't let me. If I had the ability, I wouldn't be like you, standing by and doing nothing."
Hearing this, Shi Wan sneered. "You? Just like how you were saved earlier?"
"You!" Hearing the mockery in her words, he snorted. "It doesn't matter if you don't let Shi Wan leave, but if you dare to detain us, someone will arrest you and send you to jail the next second."
"Chang Chao, how can you talk like that?" The team leader roared. "Shi Wan saved you earlier!"
He didn't regret asking Shi Wan to save the patient, but he did regret misjudging people.
He had harmed Shi Wan and everyone else.
"I didn't ask her to save me." Chang Chao incited the crowd. "Don't play the good guys. Think about it. Do you really want to stay here for the rest of your lives and never leave?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, but their actions showed that they agreed with him.
It wasn't that they didn't want to save the patient. Why should they stay?
Don't be fooled by the fact that there were only the Qi family members now. If they called for help, it would be impossible for them to leave.
"You all!"
"Team leader, stop talking."
"Student Shi Wan, could you please save them?"
The team leader said awkwardly.
Shi Wan shook her head.
She could clearly distinguish between Qi Meng and the others. According to the system, Qi Meng's younger brother was supposed to die. There was no way to save him.
If she saved him, it would end up harming the whole village.
Seeing this, Qi Meng's parents became even more emotional. "Go, call someone quickly. If they don't save my son, none of them will be allowed to leave!"
"Don't! Shi Wan, please save his son. Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
"I don't want to stay in this god - forsaken place!"
"Shi Wan, for the sake of all of us, please don't be so selfish, okay?"
...
The students from Beinan University couldn't stand it anymore. "If you're so noble, why don't you pay for the treatment? Then the patient could be cured."
