The next second, Li Se inserted a silver needle into Hong Jianshou's body.
"Ah!" Hong Jianshou screamed. It would have been better if he had fainted; since he didn't, he had to endure the pain of his arms being snapped. He was in agony.
Hong Jiancheng was extremely frustrated. He thought this was an opportunity, but who knew Li Se would revive Hong Jianshou and torment him!
"Alas, the Hong Sect is an underground force after all. Four hundred million might be a bit difficult for you. How about this, I'll reduce it by another hundred million..." As he spoke, Li Se stepped on Hong Jiancheng's knee.
*Crack!*
His kneecap shattered...
"Ooooh..." Hong Jianshou's voice was almost hoarse. He felt like crying, wishing Li Se hadn't offered a reduction. Their Hong Sect could afford five hundred million, truly, but the pain made him only scream and unable to speak.
"No need to reduce it! I'll transfer the remaining three hundred million immediately!" Hong Jiancheng dared not hesitate any longer. If he was slow, his other leg might also be crippled.
Li Se directly gave him his bank account number.
Three hundred million was transferred instantly. It would be impossible for ordinary people to transfer such a sum, but for someone like Hong Jiancheng, whose annual liquid assets were hundreds of millions, transferring a few hundred million was a trivial matter.
"Is that enough now?" Hong Jiancheng asked cautiously. He felt truly wronged. They had more people, yet Li Se had them completely controlled.
"We can make another deal," Li Se said with a smile.
Hong Jiancheng's scalp tingled. Li Se's smile was no different from that of a devil in his eyes. He said with a dark expression, "What other deal do you want to make?"
"You know, I'm a doctor, and I can heal Hong Jianshou's arms and legs. One hundred million per arm, don't think it's too expensive," Li Se said cheerfully.
Hong Jiancheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. If that was the case, why did he have to break the arms and legs in the first place? Just to make him suffer for nothing? Of course, he would only keep these thoughts to himself; he didn't dare to anger Li Se now.
"Two arms and one leg, three hundred million," Li Se said calmly.
"Are you sure you can treat him?" Hong Jiancheng took a deep breath.
"Of course!" Li Se was very confident.
"Alright, three hundred million!" Hong Jiancheng gritted his teeth. He could only compromise for now. After Hong Jianshou was rescued, he would settle the score with this brat.
Li Se inserted a few silver needles into Hong Jianshou and said, "This can temporarily relieve the pain."
Indeed, Hong Jianshou's pain lessened considerably; he was clearly not in as much agony as before. With these few silver needles, his pain seemed to disappear.
"Jianshou, how do you feel?" Hong Jiancheng quickly asked.
"It seems... I don't feel pain anymore," Hong Jianshou said weakly.
Hong Jiancheng was also a bit surprised. He had underestimated Li Se; his medical skills were indeed quite impressive. He nodded, "Three hundred million, I'll transfer it to you right away!"
Another three hundred million arrived.
Li Se smiled, "If you had known this would happen, why bother in the first place?"
Hong Jiancheng's mouth twitched. "Can you treat him now?"
"Not yet," Li Se shook his head.
"What do you mean? You've already taken the money, and you want to get away with it?" Hong Jiancheng said angrily.
"Heh, of course not. However, this leg is quite serious, but don't worry. Since I've taken the money, I will definitely treat it. Make sure not to pull out these silver needles, otherwise, I won't be responsible," Li Se pointed at the silver needles on Hong Jianshou.
"Okay!" Hong Jiancheng wanted to curse. His leg was already broken by you, how could it not be serious?
"Can I leave now?" Li Se looked at him.
"Yes!" Hong Jiancheng looked at the many Hong Sect disciples. "All of you, move aside!"
"Uncle, we're just going to let him go?" Hong Shi said unwillingly.
"Shut up!" Hong Jiancheng snapped. He was genuinely worried that Hong Shi might say something that would displease Li Se, and then Hong Jianshou would have to suffer.
Hong Shi gritted his teeth and said nothing more.
Li Se glanced at Hong Jiancheng and didn't pay much attention. He swaggered out of the villa. Many Hong Sect disciples gritted their teeth as they watched, but they were helpless.
It wasn't that he was ruthless. The Hong Sect intended to kill him, and Li Se never showed mercy to his enemies.
After Li Se had completely left, Hong Jiancheng quickly said, "Quick, send Jianshou to the hospital!"
Then, remembering something, Hong Jiancheng immediately added, "Make sure the silver needles don't fall out."
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Hong Shi asked.
"Hurry up and tell your father!" Hong Jiancheng said.
Hong Shi immediately called his father, who was the boss of the Hong Sect and its founder.
The founder of the Hong Sect also had a remarkable past, having risen from humble beginnings to become the emperor of the underworld, with a legendary past.
However, when the boss learned that his third brother had his limbs broken, his face turned terribly dark, and he rushed to the hospital.
"Who did it?" Hong Jianqiang asked sternly.
"Big Brother, it was a doctor..." Hong Jiancheng was about to say his name.
*Slap!*
Hong Jianqiang slapped him. "You are the second boss of the Hong Sect, and you were dealt with by a mere doctor? You are useless!"
Hong Jiancheng didn't retort. He knew it was truly humiliating to be handled like this by a minor doctor, so he remained silent and accepted the slap without complaint.
"Dad, which brat kidnapped Third Uncle..." Hong Shi couldn't help but ask.
*Slap!*
He was also slapped by Hong Jianqiang. "You are also useless!"
Hong Shi immediately dared not speak.
After disciplining his own people, Hong Jianqiang looked at his third brother in the ward and said coldly, "What's the situation now?"
Hong Jiancheng recounted the entire incident.
"Six hundred million!" Hong Jianqiang's face twitched, and his expression became extremely grim. "This money must be recovered, and this brat must pay a heavy price!"
"Big Brother, this brat has some skill, and Third Brother's condition might require him to be treated," Hong Jiancheng said.
"Heh, I don't believe that these doctors can't handle it," Hong Jianqiang snorted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the attending physician walked out and said, "The bones are completely shattered. Prosthetics will need to be fitted."
"Useless!" Hong Jianqiang cursed angrily. The insult was so swift.
The doctor's face looked grim. "Even imperial physicians would be helpless. The bones are shattered, and I can't conjure bones out of thin air. However, those silver needles do have pain-relieving effects."
"Get out!" Hong Jianqiang ignored him.
The doctor said nothing more and turned to leave directly.
"Big Brother, we still need to rely on this brat!" Hong Jiancheng said.
Hong Jianqiang sneered. "Rely on him? Immediately call for reinforcements. I want to tie him up myself!"
