Around ten o'clock, Li Se drove slowly to the Xiao family's residence.
However, the first person Li Se went to see was not Xiao Feifei, but Xiao Zhanguo. He smiled and said, "Elder Xiao, it's been a while. Thank you for your help with the security department's matter."
Previously, Li Se had trespassed into the Tang family's property at night and was apprehended due to the Tang family head's connections. The Xiao family had also played a part in this.
"Haha!" Xiao Zhanguo chuckled, "You're now a Royal Physician, and a Major General. With your status, as long as you reveal it, which aristocratic family would dare to touch you?"
"Yes, Li Se, why go through so much trouble?" Xiao Ye was also puzzled. As long as Li Se was willing to reveal his identity, families like the Ye or Tang family wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.
Li Se shook his head and smiled, "Some things lose their meaning once revealed. I don't like doing things without challenges. Also, I have some matters to attend to in the capital."
"Are you referring to those assassins?" Xiao Zhanguo still remembered this matter.
"Yes!" Li Se nodded. "These assassins haven't appeared for some time. I still don't know who is behind it, but their objective should be to prevent me from coming to the capital."
Xiao Zhanguo knew some details about Li Se's true identity. He patted Li Se's shoulder and said, "Have you considered that the one who wants you to come to the capital the most might be the one attacking you?"
Li Se was stunned. Two people instantly flashed in his mind: Lin Nantian from the Lin family, and from the Li family...
He quickly dismissed these thoughts and said, "Elder Xiao, I will think about it carefully."
"Many things cannot be judged by their surface, nor should you be too persistent in digging. Many things might just be that simple," Xiao Zhanguo said with a smile.
Li Se pondered this, looking at Xiao Zhanguo. "Elder Xiao, do you know something?"
Xiao Zhanguo shook his head, "I don't know. I'm just giving you a reminder. But rest assured, with your status, even if you turn the capital upside down, no one can touch you. I'll vouch for you!"
"Thank you, Elder Xiao." Li Se smiled slightly, but he was contemplating Xiao Zhanguo's words.
"Scoundrel!!" Just then, an angry voice rang out. Xiao Feifei burst in.
"Feifei, what is this behavior?" Xiao Zhanguo reprimanded her.
Xiao Feifei immediately fell silent. Her beautiful eyes stared at Li Se with immense resentment, as if Li Se had done something to betray her.
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, was completely bewildered. What was going on?
"Divine Doctor Li, I apologize. My granddaughter has been spoiled by me," Xiao Zhanguo said apologetically.
Li Se looked at Xiao Feifei, thinking, 'Go on, curse me again if you dare!'
Xiao Feifei was clearly furious.
Xiao Ye looked at these three, even more confused. Can someone tell me what's happening?
Xiao Zhanguo seemed to sense something and smiled, "How about this, Divine Doctor Li, if you and Feifei have something to discuss, go ahead."
"Li Se, hurry up!" Xiao Feifei urged him immediately.
"Alright, Elder Xiao, then I'll take my leave." Li Se cupped his hands.
"Take good care of my granddaughter," Xiao Zhanguo said meaningfully.
"Uh... it's my duty." Li Se felt a strange tone to the words. Was there danger in this capital?
After Li Se and Xiao Feifei left, Xiao Ye asked curiously, "Grandpa, what's going on?"
"You might have a brother-in-law soon," Xiao Zhanguo said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law?" Xiao Ye was bewildered. "Where? I don't see him. Feifei has a boyfriend? Oh my god, why has she never mentioned it? Who is that scoundrel?"
Xiao Zhanguo sighed. His grandson was good in every way except for his low emotional intelligence. He spent all day practicing martial arts. When would he get to hold his great-grandchild?
"Grandpa, tell me quickly, who is it? I'll go find him immediately. If he can't defeat me, he can't marry my sister!" Xiao Ye said righteously.
Xiao Zhanguo almost slapped the boy away. He angrily said, "Go practice your martial arts!"
Xiao Ye was puzzled. What was the problem? If he couldn't even defeat himself, how could he protect his sister in the future?
No, he had to go and teach him a lesson!
Li Se was unaware of Xiao Ye's thoughts. After he and Xiao Feifei left the Xiao family, he heard Xiao Feifei talking non-stop.
"Miss Xiao, you're not falling for me, are you?" Li Se suddenly asked.
"I... I like you?" Xiao Feifei was startled, her face instantly flushing. She said angrily, "A dog wouldn't like you!"
"You shouldn't speak too hastily. But I don't mind telling you, I already have a girlfriend, and not just one," Li Se shrugged.
"You're a big flirt!" Xiao Feifei retorted.
"By the way, what's wrong with Shao Zhiguo today?" Li Se asked.
"'Again'?" Xiao Feifei looked confused. "Why do you say 'again'? Did he cause trouble for you? That's true, given his personality, he'd probably find trouble with you."
"I taught him a lesson yesterday. He'll probably try to find trouble today," Li Se said with some helplessness. Sometimes, he didn't provoke trouble, but trouble found him.
"It's possible. Today, some of my classmates insisted on meeting me at the boxing gym. They're probably targeting you," Xiao Feifei suddenly realized.
When Li Se heard it was the boxing gym, he immediately knew it was aimed at him. But it didn't matter. If it was about fighting, he had nothing to fear.
For the rest of the journey, Li Se remained silent, thinking about Xiao Zhanguo's words. Sometimes, not digging too deep meant things were as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Did they really want him to come to the capital, but secretly attack him?
At that moment, he thought of two people: Lin Nantian from the Lin family, and Li Shengguo from the Li family.
Li Shengguo had been welcoming him all this time, as if he couldn't wait for Li Se to return to the Li family. But if he really returned, what benefit would it bring to Li Shengguo?
Not only was there no benefit, but it also added a rival for the position of family head.
A sharp glint appeared in Li Se's eyes. Perhaps, as he had thought before, the person who wanted to kill him was within the Li family, and it was highly likely to be Li Shengguo.
Of course, many things couldn't be judged by their surface. The more likely the person, the less likely it was him. It could also be someone else from the Li family. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"It seems I need to find time to investigate matters within the Li family properly," Li Se thought to himself.
"What are you thinking about? You look a bit scary," Xiao Feifei's voice sounded in his ear.
"Nothing," Li Se smiled and shrugged.
Just then, they arrived at the boxing gym.
