Ye Bowen was first startled, as he could see a hint of ill intent in Li Se's expression. But he quickly calmed down, leaning back and saying faintly, "Li Se, bring out any moves you have. If I so much as blink, I lose!"
"Oh really?" Li Se sneered, and the silver needle pierced Ye Bowen's body once more.
Five minutes later, the entire room was filled with Ye Bowen's screams. He felt like tens of thousands of ants were constantly biting his body, truly experiencing a feeling of wanting to live but unable to, and wanting to die but unable to.
Yet, in these five minutes, Ye Bowen did not utter a single word of plea. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he roared at Li Se, "If you have the guts, kill me! Kill me!"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't even bat an eyelid?" Li Se sneered.
Su Meichao and the others watched with their scalps tingling. This was the young master of the Ye family! How could Li Se dare to do this? His audacity was simply too great. They all knew Li Se was bold, but they didn't expect him to be so arrogant as to disregard the young master of the Ye family and torment him!
"Are you crazy? This is the young master of the Ye family!" Su Dansheng exclaimed in surprise.
"So what if he's the young master of the Ye family?" Li Se chuckled disdainfully. "From now on, you will suffer greatly. If you want to be treated, come to my clinic and kneel for a day. I might consider treating you!"
With that, Li Se left the Su family without looking back.
"Li! Se!" Ye Bowen roared Li Se's name, almost word by word. But he could only bark ineffectually, for after roaring, the feeling of tens of thousands of ants biting instantly sent him collapsing to the ground, the pain and torment making him wish for death.
"Hurry and send Young Master Ye to the hospital!" Su Meichao yelled urgently.
Leaving the Su family, Li Se quickly called Su Mei. The call was answered swiftly.
"Li Se, where are you? I'll come find you right away!" Su Mei's anxious voice came through the phone.
"I'm fine. I'm at the Su family. Where are you?" Hearing Su Mei's voice, Li Se knew she was alright and heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Mei immediately stated her location, and about ten minutes later, they met at a milk tea shop.
"How come you're completely unharmed?" Li Se asked, a little surprised.
"Did you expect me to be ravished by that Ye Bowen?" Su Mei replied with a huff.
"That's not what I meant." Li Se was still somewhat puzzled. "I know Ye Bowen's skills, and I know you have some skills too, but escaping from his grasp is still quite difficult..."
"Did you forget? I know how to use charm techniques. What's the use of his martial arts? Didn't he still fall into my embrace?" Su Mei said with a snort.
Hearing this, Li Se felt a slight discomfort, as if his woman were going to seduce another man. Charm techniques, to be successful, must first involve seduction. The thought made him very uncomfortable.
"Are you jealous?" Su Mei suddenly smiled, a very happy smile. "It seems you still care about me a lot. Don't worry, I didn't seduce him too much. He didn't even touch my hand."
After a pause, Su Mei changed the subject. "By the way, how did you get here? Did those security personnel do anything to you?"
"They were fake..." Li Se recounted his experience of being taken to a base in detail. He then added, "That place should be the Ye family's training base, specifically for training experts. It's just that the Ye family is quite audacious, possessing a batch of firearms right under the Emperor's nose."
Su Mei wasn't too surprised. "It's not strange for such first-rate aristocratic families. They also have military backgrounds. But since you've offended him, he definitely won't let it go. Oh right, you went to the Su family just now, did you do anything to him?"
Li Se smiled and recounted the incident of tormenting Ye Bowen again, adding, "His base has probably been taken down by my people as well. It should be over by now."
Su Mei's expression changed upon hearing this. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Li Se with disbelief. Ye Bowen was, after all, the young master of the Ye family, yet Li Se had tormented him.
She knew that even though Ye Bowen had tried to do something to her earlier, her people had intervened at the critical moment. Even so, she had only been knocked unconscious by Ye Bowen. She certainly dared not use too much force; the Ye family was not to be trifled with.
But now, it seemed there was no room for maneuver.
At this moment, Li Se's phone rang. It was Xu Qiang. Upon answering, he heard Xu Qiang say, "Boss, it's done. But the trouble is huge. This seems to be the Ye family's training base."
"Yes, I know. You go back and protect Shanshan," Li Se nodded.
"Okay!" Xu Qiang hung up immediately.
Xu Qiang's martial arts were still formidable, especially with a gun in hand, his strength was like a fish in water. Moreover, Li Se was certain that Xu Qiang would have kept some firearms for himself when he dismantled the base...
"You're really brave," Su Mei said with a wry smile.
Li Se replied, "Even if he's a top-tier martial artist, if he wants to kill me, can't I fight back? Is there any justice in this world then?"
To Li Se, his thoughts were simple: repay kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge. Since Ye Bowen wanted to kill him, he certainly wouldn't hold back.
The torment was just the beginning!
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Ye Bowen was rushed to the hospital, but the doctors were all helpless.
Ye Zhizhu rushed to the hospital. Upon seeing his son's condition, his expression turned grim. He suddenly looked at Su Meichao beside him.
Ye Zhizhu was of leadership caliber. Under his gaze, Su Meichao's legs almost trembled. The gap between a second-rate aristocratic family and a first-rate aristocratic family was vast, so vast that they were not on the same level.
"Speak, what happened to my son?" Ye Zhizhu asked coldly.
"It... it was Li Se!" Su Meichao replied, his voice trembling.
Ye Zhizhu frowned and said no more. He walked to the hospital bed and instructed a doctor next to him, "Take him to the military sanatorium!"
"Yes, Mr. Ye!" The doctor immediately complied.
Given the Ye family's status, they were naturally treated by imperial physicians. After Ye Bowen was taken away and Ye Zhizhu also left, Su Meichao let out a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that the Ye family would trouble him.
"Dad, the Ye family won't let Li Se off, will they?" Su Dansheng couldn't help but ask.
Su Meichao sneered and nodded, "Naturally!"
