This acupuncture session was undoubtedly Li Se’s most arduous yet. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and it was only with constant encouragement from Huang Shanshan, who wiped his brow, that the half-hour treatment finally concluded.
Li Se let out a sigh of relief. "Her life is saved."
"Leave the rest to me. You go rest," Huang Shanshan said softly.
"Thank you." Li Se nodded. As soon as he stepped out of the treatment room, he saw Xia Bingyun rushing over. He had sent her a text message when Xia Shuyu had her accident.
"Li Se, how is Shuyu?" Xia Bingyun asked urgently, her beautiful face etched with anxiety.
"She's stabilized," Li Se sighed, offering an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, it's because of me..."
Xia Bingyun directly embraced Li Se and said, "It's not your fault. As long as she's alright."
Li Se was somewhat surprised. He had expected Xia Bingyun to lash out at him, but instead, she hugged him. What's more, there were quite a few people in the clinic, especially Elder Huang.
"Hmph!" Elder Huang saw this scene and let out a cold snort, clearly displeased. However, he didn't say much at this moment.
After escorting Xia Bingyun to the treatment room, Huang Shanshan saw another beauty arrive and felt a pang of discontent. Nevertheless, she focused on providing follow-up treatment for Xia Shuyu. When Li Se approached her, she let out a soft哼, "You're quite the charmer. Think about how you'll explain this to me."
Li Se chuckled sheepishly. "She's in your hands. I'm going out for a bit."
After leaving the clinic, Li Se immediately called Tang Xi.
"Oh, why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Tang Xi was genuinely surprised. After all, it was more likely for her to cause trouble for Li Se; this guy was actually calling her.
"Where are you?" Li Se asked.
"I'm at home," Tang Xi replied. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Se hung up. She found it a bit odd but didn't think much of it, grabbing her clothes and heading into the bathroom.
Since his Porsche had been towed for repairs, Li Se took a taxi. He navigated his way to Tang Xi's home with familiar ease. He rang the doorbell for a while, but no one answered. He then called Tang Xi again, but she still didn't pick up. This made him feel a bit worried. Could something have happened to Tang Xi?
This wasn't an impossibility. Although he had treated Tang Xi, accidents could still happen. Without a moment's hesitation, he climbed out of the window in the corridor. Tang Xi's home was on the eighth floor, not particularly high. This height was nothing to Li Se. Following the outer wall, he reached the balcony and then the living room. He didn't see Tang Xi but soon heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Without a second thought, he pushed the door open and immediately saw a bare figure.
"Ah!" Tang Xi shrieked. When she saw it was Li Se, her face, flushed with embarrassment, was filled with anger. Before Li Se could get a good look, one of her slender legs swept towards him.
Caught off guard, and still momentarily stunned by the sight of her exquisite body, Li Se was struck by her kick. Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary person anymore. Even though Tang Xi had put all her strength into the kick, it didn't cause him significant harm, only a slight sting.
Seeing that her kick hadn't sent Li Se flying, Tang Xi's eyebrows shot up, and she swung a devastating groin kick.
"It's a misunderstanding... Damn it!" Li Se's hair stood on end. This was not a place to be kicked. He immediately clamped his legs together, trapping Tang Xi's foot.
"Ah..." Tang Xi lost her balance and stumbled towards Li Se. The impact sent her soft body crashing into his, a naked, soft embrace.
Li Se's breathing grew rapid. To be honest, he really wanted to take advantage of Tang Xi at that moment.
"You pervert, let go of me!" Tang Xi exclaimed, a mix of anger and shame on her face. This was simply a big scoundrel, barging in while she was bathing.
Li Se had no choice but to release Tang Xi, explaining with some awkwardness, "I'm telling you, it was a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?"
"Then why don't you leave?" Tang Xi yelled.
"Uh, is it okay if I don't leave?" Li Se asked earnestly.
Tang Xi grabbed a bottle of shower gel and threw it at Li Se. Fortunately, he moved quickly and retreated from the bathroom, missing the shower gel.
Less than five minutes later, Tang Xi emerged, fully dressed. Her pretty face was flushed red, her expression a mixture of fury and hatred. She said coldly, "How did you get in?"
"I climbed over the wall," Li Se replied, then quickly explained, "I rang the doorbell earlier, but you didn't open it. I called you again, but you still didn't answer. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I climbed in."
Tang Xi glanced at the balcony, where all her private undergarments were displayed. She was furious. "You knew I was bathing and you still barged in. You did it on purpose!"
"Hey, no matter how I explain it now, you won't listen. The clear will clear themselves!" Li Se said, feigning innocence.
If she could, Tang Xi wished she could just shoot this guy dead. From any angle, this guy had done it deliberately, absolutely on purpose. This time, she had truly been taken advantage of; Li Se had seen her entire body clearly.
"Oh, right, why do you have a scar on your thigh?" Li Se asked. He had only caught a fleeting glimpse earlier but had still seen it.
"Gunshot wound!" Tang Xi gritted her teeth. "That's none of your business. You should tell me why you're here. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll take you to the police station today!"
"Whatever. If this goes to the police station, then all your colleagues will know I saw you naked. I don't mind," Li Se said, shrugging carelessly.
"Bastard!" Tang Xi felt the urge to draw her gun again. She took deep breaths for a while before finally saying, "Speak!"
Li Se then dropped his smile, a chill appearing in its place. The killing intent in his eyes was even more difficult to conceal. He said coldly, "Can you help me find the location of the Blood Gate killer organization?"
