In the car, Qiao Weiwei reached out and pinched Li Se's waist flesh, asking in a very small voice, "Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a bit off?"
Li Se gave a wry smile. This girl was only noticing it now, but they were already in the car, and it wasn't that easy to leave. He lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's off. I was the one who crippled his son."
"Ah?" Qiao Weiwei exclaimed.
Hong Tai, sitting in the front row, frowned. He glanced at Li Se and Qiao Weiwei in the back seat through the rearview mirror, but didn't say anything. He probably thought they were just a couple flirting. He sneered inwardly, thinking that even at this point, they still had the mood to chase girls. They had no idea of the danger approaching. What idiots!
Qiao Weiwei knew her reaction had been a bit excessive. She quickly calmed herself down and even chuckled, "So, does that mean this trip is very dangerous?"
"Yes," Li Se nodded.
"Oh, how exciting." Qiao Weiwei looked eager to try.
Li Se was a bit speechless. It seemed this silly girl didn't know their situation yet. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "If something happens to me later, you probably won't be able to escape. By then..."
He paused, deliberately looking Qiao Weiwei up and down, and continued, "You're so beautiful, they'll probably..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Weiwei huffed, saying in a very small voice, "You have to protect me. If anything happens to me, you'll be fully responsible."
"You're the one who wanted to come along," Li Se said, somewhat bewildered.
"I don't care!" Qiao Weiwei put on a willful and unreasonable demeanor.
But it was undeniable that because Qiao Weiwei was so beautiful, even when she was being willful, she was quite adorable, making Li Se have the urge to hold her tightly in his arms. She was a little vixen.
The car quickly stopped at the Hong family's private hospital. The hospital wasn't very large, but it had everything other hospitals had.
This private hospital was specifically for the service of the Hong family.
Led by Hong Tai, Li Se and Qiao Weiwei arrived at Hong Zhixue's ward.
"Ah!" When Hong Zhixue saw Li Se, his face was filled with frenzy. However, due to his condition, he couldn't do anything to Li Se.
"Be quiet, you waste," Li Se showed no respect at all.
Hong Tai's expression turned slightly grim.
"It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't be like this?" Chen Huihong shrieked.
Hong Tai quickly stopped Chen Huihong, then smiled at Li Se and said, "Let the past be the past. As long as you can cure my son, I can give you a hundred million, and we'll consider everything that happened before as if it never occurred."
"I want to see the money first," Li Se certainly wouldn't treat Hong Zhixue first.
Hong Tai didn't hesitate. He asked for Li Se's card number and directly transferred one hundred million. It was swift and decisive. A hundred million, while not a small sum, was something he could afford.
Chen Huihong watched from the side, gnashing her teeth. She wished she could kill Li Se.
Li Se reached out, picked up Hong Zhixue, and slapped him hard on the face several times.
Slap, slap, slap...
The loud slaps were piercing.
"What do you mean by this?" Hong Tai roared.
"I'm treating him," Li Se replied lightly, then tossed Hong Zhixue back onto the bed. "You guys look now, isn't he all better?"
Hong Tai and Chen Huihong both hurriedly looked at their son. Indeed, Hong Zhixue seemed to be fine.
"I'm fine," Hong Zhixue felt himself and confirmed he was okay. However, he found this treatment method somewhat unbearable. He looked at Li Se and roared, "Li Se, you've humiliated me, disgraced me, I won't let you off like this!"
Then he fixed his gaze on Qiao Weiwei and said sinisterly, "Your girlfriend is nice. Leave her behind!"
"Zhixue, don't be ridiculous. He's your savior," Hong Tai said with a fake smile. "Li Se, I don't think you'll be able to spend this hundred million. Transfer the money back. Also, you have to leave your girlfriend behind. After all, my son has suffered a lot during this period, so he should replenish his body. Hmm, your little girlfriend is quite pretty, very suitable for replenishing the body."
Qiao Weiwei's eyebrows shot up upon hearing this, and she was about to erupt. Just then, she heard the sound of footsteps. A group of people rushed in. They were all holding blades and looked like they were well-trained.
"Oh dear, Li Se, what should we do?" Qiao Weiwei immediately lost her temper and fearfully hid behind Li Se.
"What do you mean by this?" Li Se narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"What do I mean?" Hong Tai angrily slapped the table beside him. "Li Se, do you really think you can leave here safely today?"
"If I want to leave today, can you stop me by force?" Li Se said coldly.
"Not only will I force you to stay, but you won't be able to take this hundred million, nor your girlfriend!" Hong Tai said arrogantly.
Chen Huihong pointed at Li Se's nose and roared, "You dared to torment my son! Today, we will torment you properly!"
"Do you know who I am?" Qiao Weiwei reprimanded.
"Don't give me that! I, Hong Tai, have seen it all," Hong Tai completely disregarded Qiao Weiwei's family background. "Come on, drag Li Se out and break both his legs first!"
"Yes!"
The group holding blades slowly walked towards Li Se.
"Wait a moment!" Li Se made a stopping gesture.
"Scared?" Hong Tai laughed heartily. "I heard you're quite skilled. Want to spar with my men?"
"Hong Tai, are you so sure I've already cured your son?" Li Se suddenly said with a smile.
Hong Tai's expression changed slightly.
"Ah!" It was at this moment that Hong Zhixue suddenly cried out in pain. He clutched his chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and the coldness he had felt earlier intensified.
"You little brat, you're playing dirty!" Hong Tai's voice was extremely grim.
Li Se shrugged. "I expected you to do this. I just made contingency plans."
Hong Tai's veins bulged like earthworms on his forehead. Then he revealed a smile and waved his hand. "What are you doing? Stand down. It wouldn't be good to frighten Dr. Li."
The group holding blades immediately retreated from the ward but didn't go far.
"Dr. Li, that was just a joke just now, no need to take it seriously?" Hong Tai said with a smile.
"Was it a joke?" Li Se's voice was laced with sarcasm. "Looking at your stance, you wanted me to return the money, break my legs, and take my girlfriend?"
"Definitely a joke," Hong Tai chuckled.
At this moment, Chen Huihong had already come to her son's side and slapped Hong Zhixue hard on the face several times, quickly asking, "Son, are you okay now?"
"Ah, I feel sick," Hong Zhixue still cried out in pain.
Chen Huihong suddenly looked at Li Se and shrieked, "If you don't cure my son today, you won't be leaving here!"
