Zuo Dahai hesitated mainly because he needed sothing from Luo Chao.
No other choice, this is the rule of today's society. If you need sothing from soone, no matter how excessive their demands might be, as long as it doesn't cross your bottom line, many people will comply.
So might even do things that go against their own values!
Of course, that's just one aspect of it. In reality, Luo Chao's request wasn't anything too demanding; it was simply asking Zuo Dahai to continue driving.
After all, as a full-ti ride-hailing driver, driving is Zuo Dahai's responsibility and obligation.
Zuo Dahai was rely frustrated by Tang Tianyi's repeated nitpicking and her actions that seed to find fault in his words, so in a fit of pique, he hit the brakes.
But now, with Zuo Dahai needing sothing from Luo Chao, and knowing that Luo Chao had an urgent matter—and aware that their destination was the Huahai City First People's Hospital—
Zuo Dahai wasn't a fool. On the contrary, he was once a smart man who had succeeded, so by combining Luo Chao's tone and what Luo Chao described as an urgent matter with their destination "Huahai City First People's Hospital," Zuo Dahai quickly deduced that the urgency Luo Chao ntioned was likely related to sothing involving life and death—a truly pressing matter, not just sothing said for effect!
With this in mind, Zuo Dahai stopped pouting, snorted coldly, and restarted the car.
However, although Zuo Dahai hit the road again, it didn't an he had forgotten what Tang Tianyi had said.
So, while driving, Zuo Dahai glanced at the rearview mirror in the driver's cabin and, looking into the reflection of Tang Tianyi's eyes, said, "Miss Tang, go ahead and tell , what's the flaw in my story?"
"I'll tell you." Tang Tianyi seed quite defiant too. As a scientist, she took everything that could be scrutinized very seriously.
Such a personality might be annoying, but there's no doubt that for science to progress, it can't dispense with the investigative spirit of challenging everything, like Tang Tianyi's.
Therefore, in reality, Luo Chao claiming that Tang Tianyi didn't listen carefully to Zuo Dahai's story was completely baseless. Not only had Tang Tianyi been listening, but she had been listening very attentively.
In fact, in so ways, Tang Tianyi listened even more carefully than Luo Chao.
However, being a scientist, Tang Tianyi's focus on Zuo Dahai's story differed from Luo Chao's.
For instance, Luo Chao focused on the life wisdom of the gambling world tycoon in the story, focusing on the content of the rules set by the gambling magnate, aiming to comprehend the true aning behind the story.
In contrast, Tang Tianyi focused on every word of Zuo Dahai's story, its logic and reasonableness, which was purely a result of rational thinking.
It was due to this reason that Tang Tianyi could point out the so-called "flaws" in Zuo Dahai's story!
Continuing, Tang Tianyi said, "Let tell you, the flaw in your story is this: you clearly stated earlier that the gambling magnate's rule was that things should be handled distinctly, right?"
"Right." Zuo Dahai nodded, curious to know what flaws Tang Tianyi could find.
Tang Tianyi continued to ask, "Then you also said that 'distinct handling' ans separating the gambling funds from the bail money, unrelated to the amount but related to the use of the money, correct?"
"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Zuo Dahai recalled and found no issue; that was exactly what he had said.
Yet, at this mont, Zuo Dahai felt slightly nervous. The fact that Tang Tianyi could repeat his words back indicated she had been listening closely to his story.
Zuo Dahai knew that people don't refute others' words without a reason; plus, with Tang Tianyi's confident posture earlier, he was genuinely worried she might find a flaw. If that happened, he'd feel his dignity was being trampled!
Even though Zuo Dahai had witnessed life's ups and downs, and although he was already fifty, being embarrassed by two young people nearly thirty years his junior would, despite his desensitized heart, still cause so discomfort.
Yet, what Zuo Dahai thought was naturally unknown to Tang Tianyi. She continued, "Since you said that earlier, I think my finding a flaw is justified." Tang Tianyi's tone was full of confidence.
Tang Tianyi continued to ask, "You also said earlier that those black n failed to get the 10,000 US dollars in gambling funds, and were instead shot at by the gambling magnate's n. After the shooting stopped, those black n asked the gambling magnate for 8,000 US dollars, right?"
"Yes, that 8,000 US dollars was also gambling funds. It's just that those black n compromised on 2,000." Zuo Dahai responded instinctively without thinking.
"So here's the issue." Tang Tianyi's voice suddenly rose, "Although those black n threatened the gambling magnate, they hadn't hard him from start to finish, correct?"
"Correct." Zuo Dahai nodded.
"However, those black n did not harm the gambling magnate, yet the gambling magnate hard so of the black n, right?" Tang Tianyi continued to ask.
"Yes." Zuo Dahai nodded, realizing what Tang Tianyi intended to say.
Tang Tianyi smirked coldly and continued, "So, logically, the 8,000 US dollars those black n demanded shouldn't be regarded as gambling funds. What they should have been demanding was compensation for the injured or even killed black n!"
"In conclusion, regardless of whether the 8,000 US dollars those black n demanded was compensation, it is an ironclad fact that the gambling magnate injured the black n while they hadn't hard him. Therefore, if the gambling magnate followed his rule of distinct handling, by the principle of handling things distinctly, he could refuse the gambling funds, but he should have provided compensation to those black n!"
"However, in your story, I didn't hear of the gambling magnate giving those black n any compensation!" Tang Tianyi declared emphatically.
After Tang Tianyi finished speaking, Zuo Dahai fell silent.
