When Secretary Wen finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind him took a step forward, clearly to intimidate. Both bodyguards stared at Li Se with unfriendly eyes.
"Please come with us!" one of the bodyguards said in a cold voice.
Li Se remained unmoved. He acted as if he hadn't heard the Secretary's threats. He even crossed his legs and said indifferently, "I told you, let Ye Bowen come over himself and kneel at the entrance of my clinic. This feeling, like being bitten by thousands of ants, I don't think he can endure it for long. Actually, it's not shameful to lower your head and beg for mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Wen's face darkened. If it were an ordinary person, kneeling might be acceptable, but who was Ye Bowen? He was the young master of the Ye family. How could he possibly kneel to others so easily?
"It seems you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit," Secretary Wen said, his eyes filled with gloom.
"You can try," Li Se replied nonchalantly.
Secretary Wen waved his hand, then turned to light a cigarette. The two bodyguards had already approached Li Se, their fists clenched and ready.
But just as they were about to make a move, Xu Qiang rushed out. His martial arts skills were quite formidable. If he could single-handedly take down the Ye family's training base, then these two bodyguards were no match for him. Even with their rigorous training, they were no good.
With two bangs, the two bodyguards were sent flying out of the clinic.
Secretary Wen was still smoking. He thought it was almost over when suddenly, two figures flew out. He wondered if he had seen wrong, if these were his bodyguards.
Impossible, impossible... These two were professionally trained. How could they be sent flying in just two or three moves? That was absolutely impossible.
But the next moment, his expression completely changed because he clearly saw that the two figures flying out were indeed the bodyguards he brought. He was stunned.
"How could this happen?" The cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. Secretary Wen was extremely shocked. He slowly turned around and saw Xu Qiang grinning at him.
"Qiangzi, don't be impulsive," Li Se called out.
Xu Qiang had intended to attack the Secretary, but after hearing Li Se's words, he stopped. He knew what Li Se was worried about. This was Ye Zhizuan's secretary, and his status was naturally extraordinary. If he actually laid hands on him, the consequences would be significant.
"Go back and tell Ye Bowen, if he really can't stand it, then come over and kneel," Li Se waved his hand.
"What good does this do you? Even if he does kneel, you're offending the entire Ye family!" Secretary Wen couldn't help but say.
Li Se smiled, a smile full of disdain. "Don't you know why Ye Bowen is like this? He wants to kill me. Offending the entire Ye family, do you think I'm afraid?"
Secretary Wen fell silent. He didn't say anything more and quietly turned to leave.
"Boss, why don't we beat up this Secretary too? This guy is too arrogant," Xu Qiang said, somewhat displeased.
"Don't do that. This is Ye Zhizuan's secretary, and his rank is quite high," Li Se shook his head. Dealing with the Ye family was troublesome precisely because most of their members were officials. They couldn't be beaten, and if they were, the subsequent trouble would be considerable.
Military sanatorium.
Secretary Wen returned defeated and recounted the events at the clinic to Ye Zhizuan.
Ye Zhizuan did not fly into a rage. It was impossible to tell if he was angry or not. His face was as calm as ever. He glanced at Ye Bowen and said, "I just received news that our training base was taken down. Did you bring Li Se there?"
Ye Bowen's face was filled with pain. Upon hearing this news, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
"This Li Se is no simple person," Ye Zhizuan had to admit that Li Se was indeed more outstanding than his son.
Li Se was new to the capital, while Ye Bowen was the young master of the Ye family. Their statuses were obvious; they were not even on the same level.
Yet, Ye Bowen had been defeated by Li Se time and again. If their family backgrounds were similar, Ye Bowen would not even be a match for his opponent.
"Dad, I feel so sick..." Ye Bowen struggled on the bed, in great pain.
"I'll go personally," Ye Zhizuan said calmly.
"Mr. Ye, he's just a small doctor. At most, send more people. If that doesn't work, let the authorities apply pressure. I don't believe he dares not to come!" Secretary Wen said angrily.
Ye Zhizuan waved his hand. "Don't escalate this matter too much. And this kid is indeed quite capable. If we can recruit him and make him useful to our Ye family, he would be a good pawn."
Secretary Wen was stunned. This was the person who had tormented his son countless times, and yet he wanted to recruit him? Well, he truly couldn't understand what Ye Zhizuan was thinking. Perhaps this was why Ye Zhizuan could become a top leader.
Soon, the black car stopped at the clinic's entrance again.
"Here again?" Xu Qiang's eyebrows twitched when he saw the car.
However, this time, the person who got out was not just Secretary Wen, but also Ye Zhizuan.
"Hello, I am Ye Zhizuan, Bowen's father," Ye Zhizuan walked straight up to Li Se and introduced himself politely.
Li Se was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Ye Zhizuan to come in person, nor had he expected the man to be so polite to him at this point.
Perhaps many ordinary people, faced with such a high-ranking official being so polite to them, would be overjoyed. But Li Se wouldn't. Secretary Wen had made a move earlier, and there was no doubt that this was Ye Zhizuan's instruction.
"If you're here for a consultation, I welcome you. If you're here to have me treat your foolish son, then let him come over and beg me," Li Se said calmly.
He had sealed the deal from the start. Especially the words "foolish son," which caused Ye Zhizuan to slightly falter.
"How dare you speak like that?" Secretary Wen rebuked. How could this guy dare to speak about Young Master Ye like this?
"Look at what status Young Master Ye has. You're just a doctor at best. Who do you think you are? In the eyes of Mr. Ye, what difference are you from an ant?"
"With just one word from Mr. Ye, your clinic might not be able to stay open!"
"He can even make it so you can't get by in the capital!"
Secretary Wen's words were sharp, and what he said was indeed achievable. Because of Ye Zhizuan's status, closing down a clinic was truly just a matter of a word.
Li Se's expression turned cold. "Are you threatening me?"
