After hanging up the call, Li Se could only apologize to Yu Yan, "I have to go to the clinic."
"Yes, you go," Yu Yan nodded. She knew something must have happened at the clinic. "There will be plenty of opportunities for these things."
Li Se didn't say anything more. After sending Yu Yan back to school, he immediately rushed to the clinic. He found that Old Huang and the others were all sick. No one in the entire clinic was spared, except for Huang Shanshan.
"When I came to the clinic today, Grandpa and the others were already like this. I even took their pulses, but I couldn't find any problems," Huang Shanshan said anxiously.
With so many people falling ill at the same time, Li Se's brows furrowed. He suspected it might be some kind of contagious disease and immediately took the pulses of Old Huang and the others. Just taking his pulse took more than ten minutes, and that was only for Old Huang. After the pulse-taking, he was silent for a long time before saying, "You are not sick."
"Then what's going on?" Huang Shanshan asked, puzzled.
Li Se sneered, "There's a master at work!"
Huang Shanshan was bewildered, not understanding what Li Se meant.
Li Se took out five bronze coins. With a flick of his hand, the five coins immediately stuck together, like a copper coin sword. He then formed a hand seal and shouted, "Break!"
The copper coin sword trembled, and Li Se immediately put it away. He said to Huang Shanshan, "I'll write a prescription. You go get the medicine, give it to them, and I'll go out for a bit!"
"Okay!" Huang Shanshan nodded.
After writing the prescription, Li Se immediately left the clinic. He looked around and then sprinted in a certain direction.
In an alley, a scrawny man was setting up an altar and casting a spell. Suddenly, with a bang, he was forced back several steps, looking surprised. "My spell has been broken!"
He pinched his fingers, and his face changed drastically. "This is bad, I need to leave quickly."
Without bothering to pack up his props, Master Wu turned to flee. But as soon as he turned, he saw a figure standing in front of him.
"Are you Master Wu?" Li Se asked calmly.
"You know me?" Master Wu was a bit surprised.
"You should know Pan Yang, right? You cast an evil spell on a girl, do you remember?" Li Se's eyes were filled with coldness. Whether it was a coincidence or a plan, this Master Wu had first targeted Yu Yan, and then his clinic.
Master Wu was stunned for a moment, and he asked in surprise, "Both of my spells were broken by you?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"Damn it!" Master Wu, like a monkey, leaped onto the alley wall, extremely agile.
"Trying to run?" Li Se sneered and immediately pursued him. Master Wu's agility was remarkable, but Li Se was not slow either. He caught up with him in an instant and knocked Master Wu to the ground with a palm strike.
"Since we are both practitioners, why are you so ruthless?" Master Wu begged for mercy, "Let me go, I promise I'll never do this again..."
Before he could finish speaking, Master Wu took out a wooden puppet and aimed it at Li Se, muttering something.
"This kind of thing is useless against me!" Li Se sneered, kicked the puppet away, and then struck Master Wu away with another palm.
"Pfft..." Master Wu spat out a mouthful of blood and continued to beg for mercy.
Li Se directly took out his phone and called Tang Xi.
"Enforcement Department?" When Master Wu saw Tang Xi, his face changed drastically.
"Oh, it's you!" Tang Xi said, seeing Master Wu, with some surprise.
"Tang Xi, you know him?" Li Se asked, confused.
Tang Xi snorted, "This person is on our wanted list. Leave him to me. He has some secrets."
Master Wu's face was grim. He truly hadn't expected to fall into the hands of the Enforcement Department. He regretted it in his heart, wishing he hadn't been so greedy for money.
"I want to ask a few things first," Li Se walked up to Master Wu. "Tell me, who sent you to deal with me?"
"The Ren family!" Master Wu uttered two words. He wasn't exactly a person with professional ethics, and now that he was caught, he naturally had to confess.
"Ren Yingyong? Or Ren Yunfei?" Li Se was a bit surprised. He remembered that both father and son had become cripples.
"Neither. It's the top expert of their Ren family, surnamed Zhou." Master Wu revealed everything he knew.
"You're wise to cooperate. Otherwise, you would have to endure a lot of torment." Master Wu's cooperation was surprisingly smooth, making Li Se a little unaccustomed to it. When Master Wu mentioned the surname Zhou, he knew who it was.
"Li Se, don't do anything rash!" Tang Xi warned. "You already made a move against the Ren family last time. Those father and son were both crippled by you, weren't they? With your status, going after these people is already breaking the rules, do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Li Se shook his head. "They kidnapped my woman, and I'm not allowed to save her? Or can your Enforcement Department help me save her? The other party had over a dozen people armed with guns. Did you go arrest them? Or do they get to carry guns, but I can't fight back and have to be beaten?"
Tang Xi was somewhat speechless by his retort and didn't continue the topic. She grabbed Master Wu and left.
When Li Se returned to the clinic, Old Huang and the others had recovered, but their spirits were still weak. He told Old Huang and the others to go back and rest, and that he would be on duty today.
After many traditional Chinese medicine doctors left the clinic, only Li Se and Huang Shanshan remained.
"Shanshan, doesn't this feel like a husband-and-wife shop?" Li Se said teasingly to Huang Shanshan when he had nothing else to do.
"It's broad daylight," Huang Shanshan said shyly.
But Li Se didn't care. He pulled Huang Shanshan into his arms and was about to take advantage of the situation when a refined man in a suit entered the doorway rather inconveniently.
"Is the doctor in?" the refined man called out.
"Yes," Li Se had to let go of Huang Shanshan, feeling a bit regretful. Why was he always interrupted at crucial moments recently?
"Are you the patient?" Li Se sized up the refined man. He didn't look like a patient at all.
The refined man took out a business card and said with a smile, "I'm an assistant from the Feng family, Ma Taotao. I'm here on behalf of my young master to deliver a message to you."
Li Se did not take the business card.
Ma Taotao was slightly annoyed. "Take the business card. Don't put on airs here."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiang appeared behind him. The oppressive aura made Ma Taotao swallow hard, and his arrogance vanished. "My young master wants you to attend his banquet tonight at six o'clock. You'd better come, and don't be ungrateful!"
