"Threaten you, so what? In the end, you're just a doctor. Face reality, kid, how can you possibly contend with the Ye family!" Secretary Wen said coldly.
Li Se shrugged and smiled, "Coincidentally, quite a few people have been threatening me lately, and I'm not afraid of being threatened. Hurry up and have Ye Bowen come over. That feeling is quite agonizing. I imagine he's suffering immensely right now."
"How dare you..." Secretary Wen wanted to curse a few more times.
"Enough!" Ye Zhizhuan waved his hand. "Secretary Wen, how can you speak to Dr. Li like that?"
"I know I was wrong," Secretary Wen said apologetically.
Ye Zhizhuan looked at Li Se and smiled, "I know there are misunderstandings between you and Bowen. You're young, neither of you is willing to back down, which is normal. How about this, if you treat Bowen, I can grant you one request. If you wish to enter the Imperial Hospital, I can also help you strive for it!"
The Imperial Hospital!
This was where imperial physicians practiced. Basically, those who could enter this hospital were doctors with significant backing, and it was the most authoritative hospital in the entire capital!
"No need!" Li Se waved his hand. "I think opening a small clinic is fine. Moreover, with my abilities, entering there would be a matter of a single word."
"Kid, you talk pretty wildly," Secretary Wen couldn't help but mock. "Entering the Imperial Hospital is practically equivalent to having an imperial physician as a mentor. And you want to enter the Imperial Hospital, it's just a matter of saying it? Why don't you say you can fly to heaven?"
"Please leave," Li Se pointed to the door. "As I said before, if you want your foolish son to be well, then have him come here on his knees. Otherwise, we have nothing to discuss!"
Calling him a foolish son, repeatedly calling him a foolish son, Ye Zhizhuan, no matter how calm he was, was starting to get angry, as if his son was truly useless.
"How dare you still speak like that?" Secretary Wen roared.
"Am I wrong?" Li Se glanced at Secretary Wen. "With the Ye family's backing, you started with a winning hand, while I've only just arrived in the capital. Look at how many times you've been beaten by me."
"You're just leveraging your connections!" Secretary Wen gritted his teeth.
"Leveraging connections?" Li Se smiled. "Leveraging connections is also a skill. Why don't you have Ye Bowen go leverage his connections too?"
Secretary Wen was immediately speechless. Logically speaking, with Ye Bowen's status, dealing with Li Se should have been a relaxed and enjoyable matter. But how long has it been? Not only has he failed to make Li Se pay any price, but he has also gotten himself into trouble.
"Dr. Li, we're all in the capital, there's no need to make things so unpleasant. I know Bowen has indeed gone too far during this period. How about I apologize to you on his behalf?" Ye Zhizhuan said with sincerity.
"There's no need," Li Se remained unmoved. "I only have one request, and that is for him to come here on his knees. Nothing else is up for discussion!"
Ye Zhizhuan's expression instantly turned grim. He didn't say anything further, turned, and left directly.
"You will regret this!" Secretary Wen said through gritted teeth, hurriedly following Ye Zhizhuan's footsteps.
Back in the car, Secretary Wen said, "Mr. Ye, let's use all our might. Let's see how he begs for mercy then!"
Ye Zhizhuan waved his hand, "Do you really think he's just an ordinary doctor?"
"Isn't he?" Secretary Wen was surprised. Did he have some other identity?
"If he were just an ordinary doctor, I wouldn't have come personally."
Ye Zhizhuan shook his head slightly and said, "He was the attending physician for the third master Li before!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Secretary Wen was stunned. Soon after, he said, "No wonder this kid dares to be so arrogant. So he has the Li family as his backing!"
Even though Li Se's surname was Li, Secretary Wen would never have thought that Li Se was a member of the Li family, after all, there were quite a few people with the surname Li.
Let alone him, even Ye Zhizhuan hadn't thought in that direction. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Go to the Li family!"
"Yes!" The driver in front responded.
The Li family.
"A rare visitor, a rare visitor indeed. Zhizhuan, why have you come?" Li Shengguo said with some surprise.
"Shengguo, I missed you, so I specifically came over," Ye Zhizhuan said with a laugh.
Li Shengguo said, "Come, sit."
After some pleasantries, Ye Zhizhuan finally shifted the topic to Li Se and said with a smile, "Shengguo, what was the name of the person who treated Shengguo earlier?"
"Li Se," Li Shengguo said with a suspicious look. "What, you're looking for him to treat an illness?"
Ye Zhizhuan sighed, "You know, it's easy for young people to have friction. He's made Bowen suffer immensely, so I wanted to have him treat him back. But he refused, so I thought you could help intercede. He'll definitely give you face."
Li Shengguo was somewhat surprised. Was Li Se this stubborn? He even dared to disregard Ye Zhizhuan's face. His courage was indeed too great.
"Certainly, certainly. I'll definitely mention it to this Dr. Li later," Li Shengguo responded with a smile.
"Then I'll be counting on you," Ye Zhizhuan smiled.
Not long after, Ye Zhizhuan left. Li Shengguo remained silent. Li Tian, standing beside him, whispered, "Dad, this Li Se has a lot of nerve. Could it be that because he treated Third Master and became a savior to our Li family, he doesn't even put the Ye family in his eyes anymore?"
Li Shengguo's expression was somewhat strange. He looked at Li Tian and said, "This kid Li Se is not just your Third Master's savior; he is also your Third Master's son. I originally didn't plan to tell you this, mainly because I hope he can return. If he can help you, it will be very beneficial for you."
Li Tian was completely stunned upon hearing this, almost unable to believe the words, but he quickly calmed down and whispered, "He hasn't even entered the Li family yet, and he's already putting on airs of a young master. If he's truly allowed into the Li family, won't he look down on everyone in the capital?"
He paused, then continued, "I've heard a bit about this matter between Li Se and Ye Bowen. This kid is too much of a troublemaker. Perhaps he has some ability, but ultimately, he's just a source of trouble. He's probably acting so recklessly just because he's Third Master's son!"
Li Shengguo's expression was somewhat complicated. The main reason was that Li Se was indeed a bit too arrogant. If he could disregard the Ye family today, he could disregard everyone in the capital tomorrow. He was a troublemaker!
Li Shengguo thought for a moment, took out his phone, and said, "How about this, I'll give this Li Se a call. The Ye family shouldn't be offended lightly. It won't do him any good."
