The two subordinates from the Ministry of Health were about to apprehend Li Se, but were instead subdued by him. He said coldly, "It's best not to make any rash moves!"
"How dare you!" Jia Yu was clearly surprised that Li Se would resist arrest. "Do you know what you're doing? Come back with me now to accept the investigation, or your offense will be doubled!"
"Heh heh, what right do you have to arrest me?" Li Se said dismissively.
Jia Yu said sternly, "I am the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health. Do you think I have no right to arrest you? Kid, don't be so arrogant!"
"Too presumptuous! How dare you lay hands on someone from the Ministry of Health? You are lawless!" Tang Ruzhi cursed, pointing at Li Se's nose. "You should be arrested and never let out again!"
"A futile struggle!" Zhang Cheng shook his head. No matter what abilities Li Se possessed, when faced with the relevant authorities, one had to be compliant. Otherwise, it would only attract greater trouble. Daring to lay hands on people from the Ministry of Health was clearly asking for trouble, and the situation would only worsen.
"Take him down!" Jia Yu ordered.
The subordinates who had just been repelled by Li Se walked towards him again.
"See who dares to touch me!" Li Se was truly getting angry now.
"Good lad, still daring to attack our Ministry of Health personnel, your offense is doubled!" Jia Yu said coldly.
"Li Se..." Zhang Aimin was somewhat worried.
Li Se frowned, but just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and a playful expression appeared on his face. It was Secretary Xu calling. After answering, he heard Secretary Xu's voice, "Doctor Li, the madam is still feeling unwell. Could you come over again?"
"I'd love to, but your Ministry of Health's Deputy Minister, Jia Yu, wants to arrest me!" Li Se said with feigned helplessness.
"Is there such a thing?" Secretary Xu's face darkened. "I'll speak to the Minister right away. Please wait a moment."
After a while, Zhou Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Doctor Li, please hand the phone to Jia Yu!"
Li Se walked over to Zhou Yuan and handed him the phone. "The Minister's call!"
"Nonsense!" Jia Yu didn't believe it. "Do you think I'd believe you? The Minister's call? If you know the Minister, then I know the Secretary!"
"Do you recognize this number?" Li Se asked calmly.
Upon seeing the number, Jia Yu indeed found it somewhat familiar. He took the phone and answered. The next second, his expression changed drastically: "Minister Zhou, I, I, I... I understand. I was momentarily confused. Alright, I'll leave immediately..."
After hanging up the call, he almost collapsed from exhaustion. He quickly handed the phone back, his face filled with a smile. "Ah, Doctor Li, it was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. My subordinates were ignorant."
As he spoke, he slapped one of his subordinates and said angrily, "What's going on? How dare you disrespect Doctor Li? Get out of here!"
The slapped subordinate looked dejected but didn't dare to say anything more.
"Heh heh, Doctor Li, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave. Alas, there are too many people who make false accusations these days." Jia Yu left without delay.
"Minister Jia?" Tang Ru called out.
But Jia Yu had already vanished. This made Tang Ru exceptionally annoyed and also somewhat shocked. Could it be that Li Se really knew the Minister of the Ministry of Health?
"It's fine. We still have the Administration for Industry and Commerce. When the Ministry of Health officials arrive, they'll still apprehend him!" Zhang Li said sternly.
Tang Ru nodded. "Yes, yes, the Administration for Industry and Commerce."
Before long, officials from the Administration for Industry and Commerce arrived. Their leader was only a deputy section chief, who was newly appointed. After all, the previous section chief had been dismissed a few months ago for offending someone. The former deputy section chief had become the new section chief, and he had smoothly become the deputy section chief. Therefore, he constantly reminded himself not to offend anyone rashly.
"Section Chief Lian!" Tang Ru greeted the deputy section chief with a smile.
"Whose documents are incomplete, and who is stealing your Zhang family's technology? this is a very serious matter," Lian Ping asked.
"It's him!" Tang Ru pointed at Li Se and said fiercely, "Make him close his shop!"
Lian Ping then looked over and trembled all over. "Oh, damn it!" He scurried over to Li Se and said respectfully, "Doctor Li!"
"You know me?" Li Se was somewhat surprised.
"How could I not know you? Our director mentions you frequently." Lian Ping was sweating profusely. The former section chief had offended this person! Fortunately, he had memorized Li Se's appearance early on, otherwise, he might have run into trouble today.
At this moment, Tang Ru and the others were stunned again. Li Se had connections in the Ministry of Health, and now he had connections in the Administration for Industry and Commerce?
"Heh heh, is your Administration for Industry and Commerce here to arrest me?" Li Se asked sarcastically.
Lian Ping shuddered. "Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. I just heard someone reported it. There must be some misunderstanding."
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Tang Ru and the others and said angrily, "How dare you make false accusations? How could there be any problems with the shop opened by Doctor Li?"
Tang Ru and the others were speechless.
Lian Ping apologized again and then left immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
"Who else can you call?" Li Se looked at Tang Ru and the others contemptuously.
At this point, their faces were extremely ugly. They had originally thought that with their connections, taking down this company would be a simple matter, but now they realized they had underestimated Li Se.
"Don't think you're so great just because you know a few people. I'm telling you, this company belongs to our Zhang family!" Tang Ru said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, if you have the ability, come and take it?" Li Se said dismissively.
Tang Ru was about to say something more, but Zhang Cheng behind him quickly said, "Tang Ru, I told you it might be a misunderstanding. How about we go back first?"
It was now basically impossible to take over this company, so they had to go back and make further plans.
"Why should we?" Tang Ru said indignantly.
Zhang Li, who had been eager to show off his ambitions, was also very upset that he couldn't get the company. He gritted his teeth and said, "The medicine from this company is ours, the Zhang family's. Why can't we take it?"
He then looked at Zhang Aimin, somewhat angrily, "Xiao Min, are you really going to be so ruthless?"
"It's not me who's being ruthless, it's you!" Zhang Aimin shouted. "You arranged a marriage for me at first, and I refused. You expelled me from the Zhang family. Now, I've found a man I can rely on, and I'm helping him manage this company. You see profit in me and want to snatch this company away. How can you have the nerve to say I'm being ruthless?"
"Have you no shame?"
At this moment, Zhang Aimin could no longer hold back. The resentment that had accumulated in her heart over the years erupted at this moment...
