"You say as if you'll let me go once I cure him," Li Se glanced at the group of people holding scalpels outside the door. He wasn't afraid of them, but with Qiao Weiwei by his side, he had to be cautious.
"I told you, I was just joking. How about this, you cure my son, and I promise to let you go." Hong Tai hadn't expected Li Se to be so difficult to deal with, even tampering with his own son.
"Alright, but I need to leave first. After I'm gone, I'll tell you the treatment method." Li Se added, "Don't waste any time. Your son has at most twenty minutes. If he doesn't receive treatment, he'll freeze to death."
Hong Tai and Chen Huihong's faces turned grim, as Hong Zhi Xue was clearly in more pain than before. If they delayed further, something truly bad would happen.
"If anything happens to my son, you won't be leaving here either!" Hong Tai threatened.
Li Se appeared indifferent, "I'm just a doctor. Trading my life for your precious son's life is quite a bargain."
"What about your girlfriend?" Chen Huihong gritted her teeth.
Li Se replied, "Her? She's the direct granddaughter of Elder Qiao from the Qiao family, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. If you think you have the ability to deal with the Qiao family, then feel free to lay a hand on her."
Upon hearing this, Hong Tai turned pale with shock. He never imagined this beautiful girl was from the Qiao family. If that were true, he truly couldn't afford to offend her. A smile then appeared on his face, "I told you, it was all a joke just now. How about this, I'll escort you out, and you tell me the treatment method afterward. Is that acceptable?"
"Good!" Li Se nodded, taking Qiao Weiwei's hand, and left the ward with Hong Tai.
Once they reached the hospital entrance, Hong Tai smiled and said, "Doctor Li, can you tell me the treatment method now?"
"Soak him in virgin boy's urine for a day, and he'll be completely healed. Remember, it must be a full day, not a minute less," Li Se said, then pulled Qiao Weiwei away.
Hong Tai's expression was as ugly as it could get. He felt truly tricked by Li Se, but now he could only follow Li Se's instructions.
"Haha..." Qiao Weiwei was almost doubled over with laughter. "Li Se, your treatment methods are too strange. First, the slap, and now soaking in virgin boy's urine. What's going on?"
"Actually, Hong Zhi Xue is already fine. However, when I slapped him, I injected another wave of cold energy into him. Although this cold energy is fierce, it will only last for a few hours."
"You're too wicked," Qiao Weiwei said excitedly.
The two chatted for a while longer before returning to the Qiao family manor.
"How was it, Weiwei? Did you have fun?" Chen Huihong asked with a smile.
Qiao Guohua and Elder Qiao watched Qiao Weiwei nervously, as they all hoped Qiao Weiwei would end up with Li Se.
"Super exciting." Qiao Weiwei's face was still flushed, and she hadn't calmed down yet.
Qiao Guohua and his wife couldn't help but look at Li Se, wondering where he had taken their daughter to be so exciting. It was inevitable they would misunderstand.
"Haha!" Elder Qiao laughed heartily, "Exciting is good, exciting is good."
Li Se was a bit speechless. Although Qiao Weiwei came from a prominent family, she was actually quite innocent, a flower grown in a greenhouse. She probably hadn't figured out what Qiao Guohua and the others were thinking yet.
"We just went shopping," Li Se quickly explained.
Qiao Weiwei glanced at Li Se, blinked her eyes, and echoed, "Yes, yes, we just went shopping, we didn't do anything else."
Qiao Guohua and the others were speechless again. They knew their daughter quite well, and this looked like they had done something. However, they didn't press further.
Yalan smiled, "Weiwei, what do you think of Divine Doctor Li?"
"Hmm, very capable!" Qiao Weiwei said without hesitation.
"That's good!" Yalan nodded.
Li Se was really frustrated. It was obvious to such an extent, yet only this silly girl Qiao Weiwei hadn't realized it. He didn't continue the topic and turned to Qiao Guohua, "Mr. Qiao, your friend you mentioned earlier, haven't they arrived yet?"
"Divine Doctor Li, they are almost here." Just as Qiao Guohua finished speaking, the doorbell rang outside. He smiled, "They're here."
Yalan immediately went to open the door. Soon after, a couple in their thirties walked in. Their attire and demeanor indicated wealth and status. Naturally, anyone who could be Qiao Guohua's friend would not be ordinary.
"Yuan Ming, let me introduce you. This is the Divine Doctor Li I told you about." Qiao Guohua immediately introduced the couple to Li Se.
Jiang Yuan Ming looked at Li Se's young age and frowned. He found it hard to believe that someone so young could have any achievements in medicine. However, since he was introduced by Qiao Guohua, out of courtesy, he nodded towards Li Se, "Hello, Divine Doctor Li."
"Quite young," his wife, Qiu Qing, commented while appraising Li Se with a smile.
Qiao Guohua then introduced the couple to Li Se, saying, "This Jiang Yuan Ming is the CEO of Oulan Group, the largest cosmetics company in Jiangnan Province."
"So you're President Jiang!" Li Se was surprised. Although he didn't wear makeup, he had heard of this brand. He had bought quite a lot for Zhang Yun Yun back then, and the prices were not ordinary. A lipstick alone cost several thousand. At that time, he had to save for about two months to buy an Oulan lipstick for Zhang Yun Yun.
"Yuan Ming, tell Divine Doctor Li whatever ailment you have. He can definitely help you cure it." Qiao Guohua had immense confidence in Li Se's medical skills.
Although Jiang Yuan Ming was somewhat reluctant, to save face for Qiao Guohua, he nodded, "Are you a Chinese or Western medicine practitioner?"
"Chinese medicine," Li Se replied truthfully.
Upon hearing Chinese medicine, Jiang Yuan Ming and his wife exchanged glances, their distrust becoming more apparent. Although they hadn't consulted Chinese medicine much, they knew very well that it was difficult to achieve anything in Chinese medicine without graying hair. Without years of experience and accumulation, a Chinese medicine practitioner's skills wouldn't be remarkable. Even Western medicine required a certain level of experience, let alone Chinese medicine.
The couple had lost all hope, but out of respect for Qiao Guohua, they didn't say anything too harsh to Li Se.
Li Se seemed to have perceived their thoughts and didn't mind, saying with confidence, "I already know what illness President Jiang is here to see about."
