At the military recuperation center, Tang Xi and Tang An, being members of the Tang family, could enter the facility. However, they were required to register, their visit limited to half an hour, and they were to be accompanied by an escort who would keep a close eye on them.
"What are you doing?"
Two guards stood watch outside Li Shengjun's room. Upon seeing someone approach, they immediately called out in a cold tone. The Li family had given strict instructions that no one, except Imperial Physician Sun Bai, was to enter the room.
"We need to see Third Master Li!" Tang Xi said urgently.
"Who is Third Master that you can see him just by asking? Please leave immediately!" one of the guards said coldly. kuAiδugg
"We really have something urgent to find him!" Tang An was also extremely anxious.
The two guards had stern expressions and were about to take action. However, at that moment, a graceful figure appeared. She waved her hand, and the two guards refrained from acting.
"Are you looking for Third Master?" The newcomer was naturally Leng Rushuang.
"Yes!" Tang Xi nodded.
Leng Rushuang, seeing how beautiful Tang Xi was, wondered if she was here because of Li Se. After a moment's thought, she asked, "What do you need Third Master for?"
"It's about Li Se, he's been captured!" Tang Xi knew that Li Se was not only Third Master's attending physician but also his biological son.
"Captured by whom?" Leng Rushuang's face instantly turned icy, radiating killing intent.
Tang Xi recounted the day's events in detail. After listening, Leng Rushuang sneered, "How audacious! Come, I'll take people there right now!"
Meanwhile.
The Xiao family.
Xiao Tian immediately went to Xiao Zhanguo and reported everything that had happened that day.
"Oh, this Ye family is quite interesting, even using military connections?" Xiao Zhanguo said with amusement.
"Dad, should we offer our help?" Xiao Tian knew his father highly valued Li Se, so he had been keeping tabs on Li Se during this period.
"Let Xiao Ye go," Xiao Zhanguo pouted. "This brat hasn't visited me, this old man, since arriving in the capital! Doesn't he remember who made him a Major General in the army? Who gave him the Imperial Physician's golden token?"
"Okay!" Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel amused, his father was actually complaining.
After Xiao Tian left, Xiao Zhanguo gazed ahead, his eyes holding a profound meaning. After a long while, he murmured, "The capital, it seems peace is finally about to be disrupted!"
...
Li Se was put into a military off-road vehicle. Ye Bowen looked smug and said, "Li Se, I hope to see you again."
"Heh heh, Ye Bowen, you were just as confident last time. Have you forgotten when you begged me to come out before?" Li Se, however, remained calm. Ye Bowen's methods this time were indeed troublesome, but he shouldn't forget that he himself was an instructor for the Heavenly Dragon Special Forces, equivalent to the rank of Major General. He rarely used his identities as an Imperial Physician or Major General, but that didn't mean he wouldn't.
"The situation is different now. This is the military zone. I know you're Third Master's attending physician, but if you act against me, even Third Master would find it difficult to intervene. Li Se, don't forget, I'm a direct descendant of the Ye family, Ye Bowen!" Ye Bowen said proudly, with contempt in his eyes. In truth, he was forced to use this connection; many other methods had been exhausted, but Li Se's strength was beyond his imagination, which led him to involve military relations.
"I hope you can remain this defiant not long from now!" Li Se smiled, unconcerned.
Ye Bowen laughed heartily, "I also hope that once you enter the military zone, you can still be as arrogant as you are now!"
The two stopped speaking. Li Se was taken to a restricted area of the military zone. As soon as he entered, he instructed a subordinate, "Lock him up. Shackle his hands and feet. This is an unlawful element; don't let him escape!"
"Yes!" a soldier responded.
"You should think this through," Li Se said with a frown.
"Think it through? You think I should think it through?" Wang Bin was amused. "Kid, are you threatening me? You think you're so tough with your martial arts skills that you can disregard the law? This is a restricted military area, my territory. Even if I kill you here, you'd have no place to seek justice!"
"You're not qualified to kill me!" Li Se remained completely calm.
"Pfft..." Mocking laughter immediately erupted.
"What the heck, this kid is so arrogant?"
"He dares to say our captain isn't qualified to kill him?"
"Where did this lawbreaker come from? I really want to teach him a lesson!"
"Captain, let me rough him up!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I want to see where this madman gets his guts!"
"..."
Many people crowded around, each eager to challenge Li Se to a fight.
"Kid, if I'm not qualified to kill you, and you dare say such things to me, it seems you have plenty of confidence. However, here, it's useless to call out to anyone. If I want to kill you, who can stop me?" Wang Bin said with arrogance.
Li Se shrugged, "I said, you're not qualified to kill me. Also, tell your men to go arrest Ye Bowen!"
"Pfft..." Wang Bin chuckled. "What you said, I don't even know how to refute it. You want me to arrest Ye Bowen? Do you know who he is? His third uncle is my superior, do you think I dare arrest him?"
"I'm giving you the courage, go ahead and arrest him," Li Se said calmly.
"Damn it! I can't take it anymore, this kid is too much of a show-off!"
"Don't any of you move, I'll go first. I want to let this kid know the price of being arrogant here!"
"..."
Upon hearing Li Se's arrogant words, everyone was furious, wishing they could pounce on him immediately.
Wang Bin waved his hand, "Kid, when you meet Commander Ye later, I hope you can still be this arrogant!"
Then, he looked at a subordinate and instructed, "Go tell Commander Ye that I've brought the person!"
"Yes!" the person immediately responded.
About five minutes later, a man in military uniform walked towards them. He was around forty years old and bore some resemblance to Ye Bowen.
As soon as he arrived, he sized up Li Se. After a moment, he said, "I heard my nephew suffered quite a bit at your hands?"
"Heh heh, Ye Bowen is truly something. Did he get beaten and now he's calling his parents?" Li Se mocked.
"You have courage, but reality isn't about just having courage to get by safely. Now, immediately, kneel before me!" Ye Zhike said in a commanding tone.
Li Se frowned but acted as if he hadn't heard.
"Didn't you hear the commander telling you to kneel?" Wang Bin directly pulled out a handgun, pointed it at Li Se, and shouted, "Did you hear me? Kneel and talk!!!"
Li Se's eyes turned cold, "Besides disliking people pointing at me, I dislike people pointing guns at me the most!"
Wang Bin directly pressed the muzzle of the gun against Li Se's forehead and said disdainfully, "So what if I point a gun at you? What can you do to me? Huh?!"
