"Get lost! Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I do." Li Se waved his hand, too lazy to bother with such a coward.
Hong Shi dared not linger for a moment. After getting up, he scrambled into the car. The Hongmen disciples left without stopping. However, the Lincoln car had only driven a short distance before it stopped again.
Hong Shi's head poked out of the car, and he cursed, "You just wait, my Hongmen will never let this go. I'll make you regret it, and I'll make you pay a heavy price!"
After cursing, Hong Shi quickly closed the car window and immediately urged the driver, "Hurry, drive!"
"Boss, this Hongmen is a troublesome one. They're quite the boss of the underworld in the capital," Xu Qiang walked over and said.
"Even in the capital, Hongmen dares to act like this. It seems they have powerful backing," Li Se smiled. In fact, he already knew who Hongmen's backer was. Besides the Ye family, who else could it be?
After the clinic closed, Li Se first sent Huang Shanshan back, then drove to the Xiao family. He had indeed been in the capital for a week, but he hadn't visited Old General Xiao. This was truly uncalled for, as Old General Xiao had helped him deal with some troubles.
The Xiao family's residence was a very large siheyuan, with two guards at the entrance. The moment Li Se stepped through the gate of the Xiao residence, he sensed something. He couldn't help but look in a certain direction, which gave him a sense of danger. This aura was very familiar. If he guessed correctly, it was a sniper. From the moment he approached the Xiao family, he had been targeted by a sniper.
This was likely the Xiao family's sniper. As long as he didn't make any suspicious moves, there would be no danger.
Meanwhile, a sniper a hundred meters away couldn't help but freeze when he noticed Li Se looking in his direction. Had he been noticed? How was that possible? At such a distance, it was impossible. It must be a coincidence, yes, it must be a coincidence!
"This is the Xiao residence. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" the guard blocked Li Se, speaking coldly.
"Please inform them that Li Se has come to visit," Li Se said quite politely.
The guard hesitated for a moment, then went inside to report. About five minutes later, the guard ran back, cleared the way, and said, "You may enter."
The feng shui of this Xiao residence was quite good. Li Se had seen many houses with good feng shui. This wasn't the best, but it was certainly among the top. Of course, many houses had such feng shui. Whether it was truly prosperous was another matter.
At this moment, Li Se saw a ruler hanging on the corner of a door in front of the courtyard, which made him slightly surprised.
"Who are you?" At this moment, a sweet voice rang out, and then a beautiful figure appeared before Li Se.
When Li Se saw this girl, he couldn't help but be stunned. A white gauze dress clung to her body, revealing her gracefully curved neck and clearly visible collarbone. The skirt flowed like moonlight, cascading to the ground, trailing for over three feet, making her even more graceful and charming. Her pretty face was lightly powdered, and her rosy cheeks, faintly visible, created a delicate and lovely appearance like flower petals. Her entire being seemed like a butterfly fluttering in the wind, or like clear, translucent ice and snow.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Feifei frowned, clearly displeased with Li Se's unrestrained gaze.
Li Se snapped back to attention and apologized, "I'm sorry, you're too beautiful, and I was momentarily entranced."
"You're wise!" Xiao Feifei snorted. "Tell me, what are you here for?"
"This is your home? Then Old General Xiao is yours?" Li Se asked, confused.
"My grandfather!" Xiao Feifei said indifferently.
"Oh, so you're Miss Xiao. I'm here to see Old General Xiao," Li Se said politely.
"How old are you to want to see my grandfather?" Xiao Feifei frowned.
Li Se felt that this Xiao Feifei seemed a bit wild, somewhat inconsistent with her appearance. Just as he was about to explain something, he suddenly noticed a dark aura between Xiao Feifei's brows, which made him frown. This dark aura was very subtle, and it would be difficult to detect without careful observation.
"Why are you staring at me like that again?" Xiao Feifei became angry.
"Miss Xiao, forgive my bluntness, but it's best not to go out during this period. Stay home honestly," Li Se advised.
Xiao Feifei laughed. "You want me to stay home? What, will I be in danger if I go out?"
Li Se shook his head. "There might be danger. If I'm not mistaken, Miss Xiao, you often frequent places with heavy yin energy, which will affect your luck. In severe cases, it could even endanger your life."
"Nonsense, you're a charlatan, aren't you?" Xiao Feifei retorted angrily. How could she not be angry that this fellow dared to say she might be in mortal danger if she went out? However, one point he made was correct: she did indeed frequent places with heavy yin energy.
"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't," Li Se shook his head. In his opinion, this Xiao Feifei was likely in her rebellious phase.
"Heh heh, just a charlatan!" Xiao Feifei sneered.
"Miss Xiao, you don't seem to trust me very much?" Li Se said with some helplessness.
"Why should I believe you?" Xiao Feifei asked with a hint of amusement. "In my eyes, you haven't even grown all your hair."
Li Se rolled his eyes. Was this a lady from a prominent family? She was supposed to be a refined young lady, so how could she say such things? However, he didn't pay much attention and continued, "Then I'll have to show you something. Look at the corner of the door in your courtyard, there's a ruler hanging there. Do you know the significance of it?"
"How could I possibly know?" Xiao Feifei snorted.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was walking over. He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Se mention the ruler, so he stopped to hear what Li Se had to say.
Li Se said, "A ruler measures the length of a life, and this ruler is a feng shui ruler, also known as the Luban ruler. If I'm not mistaken, this feng shui ruler should be inscribed with the four characters '凶度祛除' (remove ill fortune)."
"How did you know?" Xiao Feifei was somewhat surprised.
Xiao Tian, who was not far away, also showed surprise in his eyes.
Li Se smiled and didn't explain how he knew. He continued, "This way, it becomes a ruler with only auspicious measurements, called the '旺财升官尺' (Prosperity and Promotion Ruler) in feng shui, which is beneficial for promotion and wealth."
"Who knows if you're just talking nonsense?" Xiao Feifei clearly still didn't quite believe him. She knew that the ruler was inscribed with the four characters '凶度祛除', but she had no idea what its purpose was.
*Clap clap clap clap...*
At this moment, Xiao Tian walked over, clapping his hands. "Divine Doctor Li, you also study the art of feng shui?"
