Not long after Li Se and Huang Shanshan left, they received a call from the mayor. He agreed to the mayor's request quite readily.
“Someone asked you to treat them?” Huang Shanshan asked.
“Mm,” Li Se nodded. Then, the phone rang again. He knew it was the person Mayor Ding wanted him to treat.
Upon answering, an anxious voice came through, “Miracle doctor, are you a miracle doctor? Mayor Ding recommended me. Can you please treat my child? No matter the cost, I’m willing to pay.”
Li Se found the voice somewhat familiar. He then said, “Address.”
The person on the other end was taken aback by Li Se’s voice. Tian Anming didn’t find it familiar, only young, but he quickly came to his senses, assuming Li Se was just an assistant. He then gave his address and said, “This way, I’ll send someone over!”
“No need!” Li Se said two words and hung up.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Li Se’s peculiar expression, Huang Shanshan couldn’t help but ask.
“Cough, Director Tian asked for my help,” Li Se said, finding it amusing. He had just been kicked out, and now they were asking for his help after he left.
“Let’s go.” Huang Shanshan was proud and aloof, but her heart was kind. Despite the other party’s poor attitude earlier, it had nothing to do with the girl, and this was the compassion of a healer.
They returned to the Tian family’s small Western-style house.
Hearing the doorbell, Xu Qing thought the miracle doctor had arrived and quickly walked out. Upon seeing Huang Shanshan and Li Se, her expression changed, and she said displeasantly, “What are you two doing back here?”
“To treat your daughter,” Li Se said, annoyed by Xu Qing’s attitude. If it weren’t for Mayor Ding’s request, he would have left long ago.
“Do you have a medical license?” Xu Qing actually laughed. She had thought the miracle doctor had arrived, only to find Li Se returning. Her mood soured instantly. “If you don’t have a medical license, get out. Do you really think you’re a miracle doctor just because you studied Chinese medicine for a few years? Ridiculous!”
Without opening the door, Xu Qing turned and went back inside.
“You’d better not beg me later!” Although Li Se wanted to treat the girl, Xu Qing’s attitude angered him.
“Beg you?” Xu Qing stopped. “Even if all the doctors in the world died, I wouldn’t beg you!”
After Xu Qing returned to the house, Tian Anming anxiously asked, “Did the miracle doctor arrive?”
“No,” Xu Qing shook her head and snorted coldly. “It’s Huang Shanshan and that brat.”
“What are they back for?” Tian Anming frowned.
Hua De sighed, “This Huang Shanshan inherited Old Master Huang’s medical skills. How did she end up with such a brat?”
After waiting for a full half hour and still no miracle doctor, Tian Anming dialed the number Mayor Ding had given him earlier. However, this time it wasn’t answered. He was puzzled. Why aren’t they picking up my calls?
Then, Tian Anming called Mayor Ding again.
“How is it? The miracle doctor has arrived, right?” Ding Peng thought Li Se had already finished the treatment.
“I’ve been waiting for over half an hour, and the miracle doctor hasn’t come. And my calls aren’t being answered,” Tian Anming said with some frustration.
“That doesn’t make sense. I’ll call and ask.” Ding Peng found it strange. Although he had only met Li Se a few times, he understood the young man quite well. If he agreed to something, he wouldn’t go back on his word. He then called Li Se and, after inquiring, learned the situation.
“Tian Anming, Tian Anming, how can you be so stupid?” Ding Peng redialed Tian Anming’s number, scolding him severely.
“What’s wrong?” Tian Anming was completely bewildered.
“Miracle Doctor Li just said he went there, but you drove him away!” Ding Peng snorted coldly. “You, Tian Anming, I told you to be respectful and reverent towards this miracle doctor. His future achievements will be no less than ours, but look at what you’ve done!”
“I didn’t,” Tian Anming said, feeling wronged. Then his expression changed drastically, as if he remembered something. “Could… could it be him?”
“You know in your heart whether you did or not. That’s all!” Ding Peng hung up somewhat angrily.
After Tian Anming hung up, he immediately asked Xu Qing, “What was that kid’s surname?”
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, “I think it’s Li.”
“Oh no, he’s the miracle doctor!” Tian Anming slapped his thigh. “I actually drove him away.”
“How is that possible? He’s so young?” Xu Qing was somewhat incredulous.
“Mayor Ding recommended him, so it can’t be false?” Tian Anming felt like hitting his head against a wall. “I’m going to invite the miracle doctor back right away.”
“I… I’ll go with you,” Xu Qing said, wanting to jump off a building thinking about her attitude just now.
Hua De was stunned. Could that young man just now be the miracle doctor? Suddenly, he thought of something. He seemed to have heard that this miracle doctor was quite young…
After Huang Shanshan put her medical kit back at the Chinese medicine shop, she said to Li Se, “I’m a bit hungry. Let’s go eat.”
“Okay,” Li Se nodded. This was Huang Shanshan’s initiative, so he couldn’t refuse.
The two went to a Western restaurant. About every ten minutes, Li Se’s phone would ring. He knew it was Tian Anming calling, but he had no intention of answering.
“Is Director Tian calling?” Huang Shanshan asked.
Li Se nodded. “He drove me away, and now he’s calling for me to come back. He thinks he can summon me and dismiss me at will?”
Huang Shanshan didn’t say much, as Xu Qing’s attitude had indeed been very bad.
The two ordered a steak. Just as they were about to eat, two people in police uniforms walked in. Seeing the two police officers walking towards them, Li Se had a bad feeling.
“Are you Li Se?” one of the uniformed officers asked.
“Yes.”
“Someone reported you for assault, saying bones were broken. You need to come with us,” the uniformed officer said coldly.
Huang Shanshan was anxious. “Arresting someone without evidence?”
“We’re just asking him to come back for an investigation,” the uniformed officer said unhurriedly.
“Shanshan, it’s fine. I’ll go with them,” Li Se had already figured out who it was. If he wasn’t mistaken, it should be Lin Tianrui.
This guy was a smiling tiger. After having his bones broken by him that day, he had been quiet for several days. However, he didn’t think Lin Tianrui would let it go. This kind of person was vengeful, and he would definitely seek revenge for that day’s humiliation.
Soon, Li Se was taken to the police station’s interrogation room, where he saw Lin Tianrui sitting in a wheelchair.
“It really is you,” Li Se sneered.
Lin Tianrui today was in a wheelchair. Seeing Li Se, the smile that had been on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a grim, chilling darkness. He looked at Li Se and said, “To deal with someone like you, who has no background, I have too many ways.”
“Now, kneel down!”
