Li Se remained expressionless, saying nothing.
“Why do you bother?” Yu Zhiyong continued, “If you had stayed honestly in Qingyun City with your small company, you could have lived a relatively comfortable life. Why did you have to come to the capital? Even if you came to the capital, you wouldn't dare to offend Young Master Ye. Do you know your life is ruined?” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
“That might not be true,” Li Se said, not paying much attention.
Yu Zhiyong chuckled, “It seems you still haven’t realized the seriousness of the situation. Young Master Ye wants you to stay here for the rest of your life. What ability do you have to get out? Or do you have any backing? If you have backing, call them quickly. But it's probably useless. Offending Young Master Ye in the capital means no backing can save you.”
Li Se simply closed his eyes, not wanting to listen to Yu Zhiyong’s nonsense anymore.
“Hmph!” Seeing Li Se like this, Yu Zhiyong snorted coldly, then called for people to lock him up.
The night passed quickly. Li Se was kept in a dark room that made people inexplicably irritable, and he was no exception. Fortunately, he could cultivate, otherwise, it would have been truly difficult.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa, Ye Bowen was on the phone. The person he was speaking with was none other than Captain Yu Zhiyong of the security detail.
“Young Master Ye, how should we handle him? Just lock him up?” Yu Zhiyong asked.
“Has his situation been investigated thoroughly?” Ye Bowen was always a very steady person. Even though he felt he had the upper hand now, he still needed to inquire about Li Se’s background.
“It has been investigated thoroughly. He’s just a bumpkin from Qingyun City, running a small company with an estimated valuation of around two billion. Perhaps it’s because of this that he’s so arrogant,” Yu Zhiyong said dismissively. This background dared to challenge Young Master Ye; it was unheard of.
“From Qingyun City?” Ye Bowen frowned. He thought it would at least be a second-rate family, but he didn’t expect him to be from Qingyun City. He recalled that Tang Xi had worked in Qingyun City not long ago. It was likely then that they got together. The thought that they might have been together for some time made him incredibly uncomfortable. Heaven knew if anything had happened between them.
“Break his legs and lock him up!” Ye Bowen finally gave the order and tossed his phone aside, his face looking rather unpleasant. “How dare you fight me for a woman? I’ll make you regret it. And Tang Xi, damn it, acting all saintly in front of me. Once I marry you, I’ll see how I play with you!!”
At this moment, at the military sanatorium.
“How is it? Haven’t found him?” Zhang Weidong asked doubtfully.
Sun Bai shook his head, “I called, but no one answered. I don’t know what’s going on. Little Friend Li promised to come for Third Master Li’s medicinal bath today and would never break his word. How could he not answer his phone?”
Although Third Master Li’s physical condition had improved significantly after being treated yesterday, he had not yet recovered. He still needed Li Se’s follow-up medicinal baths for treatment. Yet, at this critical moment, Li Se had disappeared without a trace, causing them all some anxiety.
“Oh, Doctor Li isn’t answering his phone?” Li Shengguo frowned slightly.
“Mr. Li, I know him. Perhaps something has delayed him,” Sun Bai said in a low voice.
Li Shengguo thought for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call. About five minutes later, the call was returned. When he learned that Li Se had been arrested, his expression turned grim. He then said, “I understand.”
After hanging up, Li Shengguo immediately ran to his father and explained Li Se’s predicament in detail.
Li Zhongfu frowned, “Did that Ye family brat arrest him?”
“Dad, yes. Should I bring people over to rescue him?” Li Shengguo asked.
Li Zhongfu waved his hand, “It’s not necessary. If you do it so openly, many people will suspect his relationship with our Li family. With the same surname, it’s hard not to make connections. Your third brother is a military figure, so let the military apply pressure.”
“I understand!” Li Shengguo nodded.
“He is our honored guest now, a guest of the military, the savior of your third brother. Who dares to arrest him?” Li Zhongfu sneered.
“I know what to do!” Li Shengguo immediately withdrew.
About half an hour later, the entire military sanatorium was in an uproar. Li Shengjun’s attending physician had been arrested. Never mind whether Li Shengjun had any connection to the Li family; even if he didn't, as a military war god, he had made contributions to the country. Yet, now someone had arrested his attending physician. Was this a provocation?
When the guards learned that their commander’s attending physician had been arrested, they were all furious. They came from abroad, where they spent their days guarding and fighting enemies. Li Shengjun was their captain, a god-like figure. Now that Sheng Jun was severely injured, only Doctor Li could treat him. Yet, today, news broke that Doctor Li had been arrested. How could they not be angry?
“Brothers, follow me to the security detail to demand his release!” Leng Rushuang, Li Shengjun’s right-hand man, was tall and stunningly beautiful. With her captain’s attending physician arrested, she was the first to step forward and directly summoned all the guards stationed in the capital to the security detail.
This immediately alerted the higher-ups. When they learned that someone had arrested Li Shengjun’s attending physician, they were also furious and directly called the security detail.
Gao Hongyang, the director of the security detail, had no idea what was happening. He was whistling and making tea, living a rather leisurely life. After all, this was the capital, and few illegal activities occurred, so he was quite idle. But just then, a call came in. After answering it, his entire demeanor changed.
“Leader, understood. I’ll handle it immediately!”
After hanging up, Gao Hongyang walked out of his office with a dark expression. At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. He looked out and saw the guards, led by Leng Rushuang, which made his scalp tingle.
“Madam Commander, give me some time. I’ll handle it immediately,” Gao Hongyang said in a rush.
Leng Rushuang said coldly, “Heh, you, as the director of the security detail, arresting an unarmed doctor. What does this mean? I hope you’ll give me a proper explanation.”
“I will, I will, I must! I’ll investigate immediately!” Cold sweat was already forming on Gao Hongyang’s forehead. He didn’t know what had happened, but the higher-ups had called, and the guards had shown up at his doorstep. Someone, please tell me what on earth is going on!
