"Lone Wolf?"
"Our captain isn't a match for him?"
Many members couldn't believe it.
However, Lone Wolf got up from the ground, let out another roar, and attacked again. He didn't believe he would lose to a young man, especially in terms of strength, which he prided himself on.
"If you have the guts, let's go head-to-head!" Lone Wolf shouted.
"Then, as you wish!" Li Se stood there this time. As he saw Lone Wolf's fist approaching, he circulated his true qi and punched out.
Lone Wolf's eyes widened because he could feel that before his fist even touched the opponent's, seven or eight tenths of his power had already been diffused. After a direct confrontation, he was bound to lose.
*Bang!*
As expected, Lone Wolf was sent flying backward again. This time, after he got up, he didn't attack anymore because he already knew he wasn't Li Se's match.
"I concede!" Lone Wolf said.
"Your strength is also formidable," Li Se nodded with a smile.
Zhu Tianyun and his family's faces turned extremely grim. Their intention for bringing Li Se in was to teach this brat a lesson, but they hadn't expected that even Lone Wolf wouldn't be a match for him. They couldn't possibly have all the Tianlong members attack at once, could they?
*Clap clap clap!*
Just then, applause rang out.
Chou Jialiang walked over.
"Officer Chou!" Lone Wolf and the others greeted him respectfully.
"Don't be disheartened, it's normal to lose to him," Chou Jialiang said with a smile.
"Officer, you know him?" Zhu Tianyun asked in surprise.
Chou Jialiang smiled and said solemnly, "Let me introduce you all, this is your Chief Instructor, Li Se!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked. The Tianlong members knew they would be getting a new Chief Instructor, but they never imagined he would be so young. This was too unbelievable!
"No wonder, no wonder..." Lone Wolf felt somewhat relieved, as he wouldn't lose face. Losing to the instructor was a proper thing to do, wasn't it?
"Tianyun, did I hear you correctly?" Zhu Qiong's eyes widened, he simply couldn't believe what he was hearing. Li Se was actually the Chief Instructor of the Tianlong Special Forces?
Zhu Tianfang looked even more despairing. If this were true, then his humiliation of having his shoes shined would never be avenged in this lifetime!
"Instructor!" Many members greeted him respectfully.
Li Se smiled and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Tianyun's family. However, it was just a fleeting look, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Chou Jialiang and asked, "Where are the heavily injured members?"
"Follow me," Chou Jialiang nodded and led Li Se to a ward in the military district.
Several Western doctors were already attempting resuscitation. Li Se could tell what the problem was with just a glance: multiple bone fractures, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, and so on. They were almost all fatal. In such a condition, it was already remarkable that he was still alive.
"Sigh!" A Western doctor sighed and walked up to Chou Jialiang, shaking his head. "There's no hope. The injuries are too severe. Notify the family, and he will be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery."
Lone Wolf's emotions were turbulent. He anxiously asked, "Is there no way at all?"
"No," the Western doctor shook his head.
The ward was filled with sighs, and the sounds of mournful crying. For these members of the Tianlong unit, these were comrades who had faced life and death together.
"I can save him!" Li Se's voice rang out at this moment.
Everyone's gaze turned to Li Se. Although Chou Jialiang hadn't witnessed Li Se's medical skills, given how highly the Xiao family regarded him, he naturally had some trust. "Brother Li, is that true?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded with certainty.
"Impossible!" The Western doctor who had just spoken firmly retorted, "How can you heal someone who has been declared beyond saving? You're so young, yet you dare to spout nonsense in the military. Do you know the price you'll have to pay?"
As a military doctor, his skills were naturally extraordinary. From the first moment he saw Li Se, he was absolutely certain that this fellow could not possibly save someone who was already beyond help.
Without waiting for Li Se to say anything, the Western doctor continued, "I, Wen Zhenlun, started studying medicine at the age of five, entered China's best medical university at twenty, and pursued further studies in the United States after graduation. I returned at thirty and became a military doctor, serving in the military for ten years now. While my medical skills may not be as good as the imperial physicians in the capital, I understand life and death better than they do. I have saved many soldiers over the years, but if I declare someone beyond saving, even the best doctors from the United States would say the same!"
In these ten years as a military doctor, he had rescued countless soldiers. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would do his utmost to save them. But if they were beyond saving, they were beyond saving. Li Se stepping forward now, in his view, was an insult to him. How could someone who was already dying be saved?
"Officer Chou, who is this person? Have him expelled!" Wen Zhenlun said angrily.
Chou Jialiang quickly explained, "Dr. Wen, please don't be angry. Let's talk calmly. This gentleman has been recommended by the higher authorities. Why not let him take a look?"
Wen Zhenlun was somewhat annoyed, but since Chou Jialiang had said so, he couldn't refuse. He looked at Li Se and said, "All the medical equipment here is complete. I'd like to see how you intend to save him!"
"I don't need this medical equipment!" Li Se shook his head.
"What?" Wen Zhenlun felt like he must have misheard. "You don't need medical equipment? What do you mean? How are you going to treat him?"
"I am a Chinese medicine practitioner!" Li Se said word by word.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhenlun felt as if he had heard a huge joke and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Chinese medicine? Haha, you a young brat, dare to claim you study Chinese medicine? I also know several Chinese medicine practitioners, including the renowned Ghost Doctor, Divine Hand, and two imperial physicians from the capital. I know them all. May I ask who your master is?"
"I learned from my grandfather," Li Se said.
"And who is your esteemed grandfather?" Wen Zhenlun sneered.
"My grandfather was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he passed away a long time ago," Li Se replied, shaking his head.
Wen Zhenlun reprimanded, "This is complete nonsense! At such a young age, you dare to deceive the military. I think you're tired of living. Officer Chou, just have him executed."
Chou Jialiang broke out in a sweat. "Dr. Wen, not only was he recommended by the higher authorities, but this gentleman is also the Chief Instructor of the Tianlong Special Forces!"
Wen Zhenlun's eyes almost popped out. "How is that possible?"
"Yes, General Xiao personally invited him. Let's give him a chance to prove himself," Chou Jialiang understood Wen Zhenlun's personality, but since Li Se was recommended by the Xiao family, he should at least be allowed to try.
Wen Zhenlun wouldn't accept this. "I don't agree. If you want to find a Chinese medicine practitioner, I happen to know Divine Hand, and he's currently in Qingyun City. We can invite him over. If even he is helpless, then it can only mean one thing: Chinese medicine cannot save him!"
