Tang Xi, however, remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Alright, if you have such a good idea, then go ahead and tempt him. For a woman like you, it would be a waste even if he succeeded!"
"A waste?" Tang Rou chuckled. "Then I'll have to see if my being so proactive can make him obedient!"
"Fine, are you done?" Tang Xi asked impatiently.
Tang Rou suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Tang Xi, saying, "I'm actually looking forward to seeing you tortured by Ye Bowen. I heard he's also a pervert, especially in bed. He especially likes to torment women. This Ye Bowen puts on a pious front, but who would have thought he's into that? Tang Xi, oh Tang Xi, you'll be envying my smooth skin then."
"Smooth? Your knees and elbows are broken, and they'll leave scars. That won't look good," Tang Xi taunted.
Tang Rou said indifferently, "Isn't that cheap man a doctor? I'll have him treat me. To be honest, I don't want to oppose him anymore. I just want to get into bed with him!"
"Heh, pervert!" Tang Xi was speechless. This woman's psychology was extremely twisted. To get revenge on her, she would seduce Li Se. What kind of mindset was this?
"Hahaha!" Tang Rou thought Tang Xi was getting anxious. She laughed triumphantly, then picked up her clothes from the ground and left Tang Xi's room with a smile.
"Had you seen enough?" Tang Xi asked coldly after Tang Rou left.
Li Se walked out from the wardrobe, looking innocent and saying, "I didn't see anything. I closed my eyes."
"She has a butterfly tattoo on her chest. I don't know if you saw it?" Tang Xi asked.
Li Se recalled earnestly and said, "I don't think so. I remember her chest should be smooth, with nothing on it..."
As soon as he said this, Li Se realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth. He had let it slip.
"You say you didn't see?" Tang Xi's expression turned even colder.
"I only glanced, after all, I didn't expect her to be wearing nothing underneath," Li Se explained. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he frowned. "Wait a minute, why am I explaining myself to you? You're not my woman!"
Tang Xi also realized something at this moment. That's right, why was she getting angry? She didn't want to become this guy's woman. He was a playboy. She knew he already had many women around him. However, she couldn't help but mock him, "You must be very happy, right? Tang Rou is about to go and seduce you."
"Am I someone who can be easily seduced? Besides, I have no real interest in a woman like Tang Rou," Li Se shook his head. Tang Rou was a crazy woman, he wouldn't go near her.
"That might not be true," Tang Xi sneered. Men's words were deceptive.
Li Se shook his head and changed the subject. "Alright, let's not talk about this. Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"
Tang Xi said gravely, "I've already asked the enforcement department to investigate, but the person who wants to kill you is also very well hidden. The person who tried to kill you last time used a knife, and there aren't many families in the capital who use knives. You should have heard of the Feng family's fist techniques, and the Xiao family uses guns. That leaves swords and knives. However, I've investigated the families that use knives, and I don't feel they have any reason to kill you. Moreover, you're new to the capital, and the families here have no reason to kill you. Because to them, no matter how capable you are, or how skilled your medical techniques are, you are ultimately just a doctor, not worthy of their notice."
Li Se hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you investigated the Li family?"
"The Li family?" Tang Xi was stunned, then her expression changed to one of shock. "Do you have any connection to the Li family?"
"Yes!" Li Se did not hide anything. "Li Shengjun is my father."
"My heavens..." Tang Xi's eyes widened. She could hardly believe what she had heard. "You mean, the God of War of our Hua Xia, Li Shengjun, is your father?"
"Yes." Li Se seemed helpless. His father appeared to be very famous.
After Tang Xi was shocked for a good while, she then said with a grave expression, "If that's the case, then the person who wants to kill you is likely from the Li family. The Li family's situation is very complicated, and I don't know much about it. If you have time, you can try to find out more."
Li Se let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he had already basically confirmed that someone from the Li family wanted to kill him, and the reason was simple: they didn't want him to return to the Li family.
It was as if the Li family was a large cake, and there were only a few people who were supposed to share it. But one day, another person suddenly appeared, and naturally, those few people would not be happy. Of course, they would want to eliminate the extra person.
Tang Xi was still somewhat surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to be the son of Hua Xia's God of War. No wonder your martial arts skills are so formidable, and your medical skills are also so impressive. Is this unparalleled in both medicine and martial arts?"
She was still very curious about how Li Se, an ordinary person, could possess such excellent medical skills and martial arts. If he came from the Li family, it wouldn't be surprising.
The Li family was a peculiar one, a lineage of imperial physicians. Normally, imperial physician families could not compare to true political families like the Xiao, Tang, and Ye families. However, Li Sanye had joined the army and become a God of War, which carried significant weight. Furthermore, in recent years, the Li family had also been making inroads into politics, aiming for dual control of military and political power!
Therefore, the Li family could be said to be flourishing in recent years!
But the Li family also had significant issues, mainly relying on two people: Li Zhongfu and Li Sanye. If either of them fell, the entire Li family would undergo a dramatic change.
Tang Xi found it strange. Logically speaking, since the Li family had produced such a promising third-generation member like Li Se, who was skilled in both medicine and martial arts, they should have welcomed him back early. He was the future hope of the Li family!
But she soon understood. If Li Se returned to the Li family, the interests of others would be severely affected. For example, other young people in the third generation of the Li family, or the Li family's competitors.
"Now you know how capable I am, don't you? How about it, do you want to serve me tonight? I can give you this opportunity." Li Se's eyes were fixed on Tang Xi. The scene with Tang Rou was still in his mind, and the suppressed fire within him had been ignited.
"Scram!" Tang Xi gave Li Se only one word.
Li Se said dejectedly, "Fine, you've caused me a lot of trouble. You don't even thank me."
Tang Xi rolled her eyes and said, "You haven't exactly been at a disadvantage!"
Thinking about how this guy had seen her naked before, her face flushed red.
Her shy expression made Li Se smirk. He reached out and pulled Tang Xi into his embrace.
Tang Xi was flustered by Li Se's sudden action. "What... what do you want to do to me?"
