Li Se couldn't help but freeze, a strange expression appearing on his face. When had he ever shown ambition?
He hadn't felt it himself, but Lin Wanqiu was right about one thing. It seemed he might go to the capital one day, but not now.
Lin Wanqiu didn't pursue the topic further. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Do you... will you be reluctant to let me go?"
"Yes!" Li Se answered very directly. "You are beautiful, have a good figure, it's normal to be reluctant. Such a great beauty is not common. Oh, and you have money too."
Lin Wanqiu rolled her eyes. "Is that how you praise someone?"
Li Se chuckled, "I'm just speaking the truth."
"Then... do you like me?" Lin Wanqiu suddenly asked with a blush.
"Uh..." Li Se was momentarily unsure how to answer.
Did he like her? Of course, he did. Who wouldn't like such a great beauty? It was just that the women around him already seemed enough.
"You're even hesitating?" Lin Wanqiu looked displeased. "You said yourself that I'm beautiful, have a good figure, and have money. Yet you hesitate, which means you don't truly feel that way."
Li Se looked at Lin Wanqiu with burning eyes and said with a wicked smile, "If I say I like you, will you become my girlfriend?"
Lin Wanqiu's face flushed under Li Se's intense gaze, and her heart began to beat faster.
But just then, Lin Junhao appeared. Upon seeing Li Se, he smiled, "As expected, my sister came to find you. She probably can't bear to part with you."
"Brother, I just came to say goodbye," Lin Wanqiu said, blushing.
"Haha!" Lin Junhao burst into laughter. Then, looking at Li Se, his expression was a mix of emotions. After a long while, he said, "I hope to see you in the capital one day."
"Okay." Li Se nodded. So far, several groups of people had wanted him to go to the capital. He didn't know their motives, but it seemed he really should visit the capital.
"I'll answer your question today when you come to the capital!" Lin Wanqiu said this before leaving.
Li Se watched their departing car, feeling somewhat dazed. Lin Wanqiu was truly a very gentle girl.
But was Lin Wanqiu's last sentence a honey trap? It was a classic honey trap, trying to lure him to the capital. It was indeed hard to resist.
Li Se shook his head and was about to leave when his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Elder Huang.
"You brat, you came to the hospital but didn't look for me, only for my granddaughter!" Elder Huang said with some displeasure.
"Cough cough..." Li Se coughed twice. "Elder Huang, is there something you need?"
"Where are you? Of course, it's something good," Elder Huang said with a smile.
Li Se thought for a moment. "Elder Huang, are you at the hospital? I'll drive over directly."
"Alright, I'll wait for you!" Elder Huang replied.
Li Se drove back to the hospital. However, the security guards in the parking lot had been replaced. The previous guards had been arrested and likely wouldn't be released for some time, and even if they were, they wouldn't continue to work as security guards at this hospital.
"Elder Huang!" Li Se soon met Elder Huang.
"You kid, you're something else." Elder Huang raised his eyebrows. "If my granddaughter hadn't told me you were here, I wouldn't have known you had come earlier."
Li Se felt a bit embarrassed. He had been so focused on Huang Shanshan that he had forgotten Elder Huang.
"Never mind, let's talk business." Elder Huang quickly changed the subject. "We have a Medical Association in Qingyun City. I've applied for you. With your medical skills, there should be no problem."
"Qingyun City Medical Association?" Li Se was taken aback. He really hadn't heard of it. When he thought of a Medical Association, he naturally thought of the American Medical Association, as it was the true authority of Western medicine.
"If the United States has a Medical Association, then China naturally does too, though it's naturally not comparable to the American one. Our Medical Association is a bit scattered, but it gathers many doctors with superb medical skills, and they often communicate with each other," Elder Huang explained.
"Okay." Li Se nodded. He was naturally very interested in joining this Medical Association. Even though his medical skills were excellent, he wasn't omnipotent. If he could communicate with many doctors, it would also help his medical skills improve.
Afterward, Li Se and Elder Huang arrived at the headquarters of the Medical Association.
"Elder Huang!"
"Elder Huang!"
Many doctors from the Medical Association greeted Elder Huang respectfully.
Elder Huang's medical skills were already excellent, and he had even had the opportunity to become a royal physician, but he had refused. Although he didn't become a royal physician, his medical skills were definitely top-notch in Qingyun City. Few people in Qingyun City didn't know him.
Because Li Se was recommended by Elder Huang, joining the Medical Association was very easy, and he smoothly became a member.
"I didn't expect Qingyun City to have a Medical Association," Li Se said with some emotion. He had stayed in Qingyun City for so long but didn't know about it. If Elder Huang hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have known about it in the future.
"There's also a Chinese Medicine Medical Association, but Qingyun City doesn't have one because there are too few Chinese medicine practitioners," Elder Huang said helplessly.
The Medical Association they had joined included not only Chinese medicine practitioners but also more Western medicine practitioners, and it was mainly focused on Western medicine.
Speaking of the Chinese Medicine Medical Association, Li Se thought of Du Jinglong. He was not only the head of the Royal Physician Review Group but also the president of the Chinese Medicine Medical Association. However, the headquarters of the Chinese Medicine Medical Association was in the capital, and it was very troublesome to join.
After completing the membership process, Li Se and Elder Huang left the Medical Association. Just as they exited, they saw a middle-aged man supporting an elderly man, hurrying towards the Medical Association.
"Doctor, are there any doctors!" the middle-aged man shouted.
"Let me see!" Elder Huang rushed over and, after examining the elderly man, his expression became very serious.
This was the Medical Association. Although it wasn't a hospital, everyone here was a doctor. The middle-aged man clearly knew this, which was why he came here, and more importantly, it was closer.
"Doctor, how is the old master?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously, especially after seeing Elder Huang's grave expression, which made him even more fearful.
"He seems to have been poisoned," Elder Huang said.
The old man's face was also ulcerated, looking terrifying. Frankly, in his long medical career, he had rarely seen such an illness.
Suddenly, Li Se, who was standing nearby, asked, "Has he recently been saying that someone is coming to claim his life?"
"Yes!" the middle-aged man nodded.
"Hallucinations?" Elder Huang's expression changed slightly.
Li Se nodded, "Yes, he's likely been poisoned by Tian Xian Zi. People poisoned by this substance will have their minds confused, see ghosts and spirits, and even go berserk and kill. If not treated promptly, death is not far off."
