Time trickled by, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang grew increasingly uneasy. Although Li Se had said he knew people at the police station, Brother Chen also had connections. What was most terrifying was that Brother Chen was bringing dozens of people over, something they couldn't possibly withstand.
"Li Se, we've implicated you," Uncle Wang sighed. He knew Li Se would act because Brother Chen and his men were demanding protection fees.
"You should leave first," Aunt Wang still felt it was not right for Li Se to stay.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, don't worry, Li Se can handle it," Qiao Weiwei comforted them.
Just as Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were about to say more, hurried footsteps echoed from outside. It was Brother Chen, returning with dozens of his men.
"Kid, you've got guts, you didn't run!" Brother Chen was somewhat surprised. He thought Li Se would have been scared off, but he hadn't left. This was good; he could get revenge for the earlier incident.
"Can someone like you scare me away?" Li Se said with disdain.
Brother Chen sneered, "Good, good, good. I hope you can still have this courage later. I want the beauty by your side. I'll tell you, I'll take you back and make you watch as I play with your woman, making her experience ecstasy and despair!"
Li Se frowned and said coldly, "You'll have to have the chance!"
"What, you can fight dozens of them yourself?" Brother Chen didn't believe it. No matter how skilled Li Se was, he couldn't fight dozens of people. That was impossible.
"Brother Chen, police cars are coming!" At this moment, a subordinate said fearfully.
More than a dozen police cars arrived simultaneously, surrounding Brother Chen and his group.
Brother Chen gulped. What was going on? Why were the police here? Did someone report them? That made no sense. Even if they reported it, so many people wouldn't come. Besides, he had contacts at the police station. Yes, he had contacts, so he didn't need to worry too much. He reassured himself and said, "Don't panic, I have contacts!"
Many police officers got out. The one leading them approached Li Se and said respectfully, "Divine Doctor Li, is it these people?"
"Yes, arrest them all. They're extorting protection fees in this area!" Li Se nodded.
"Arrest them all!" the leading police officer ordered.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting people? I have contacts..." Brother Chen shouted.
But it was useless. Brother Chen and his dozens of subordinates were all arrested. Then, many shop owners from the surrounding neighborhood came out, all pointing fingers and accusing Brother Chen of collecting protection fees. At this point, Brother Chen was truly finished.
"Well done!"
Everyone applauded.
After Brother Chen and his group were arrested, Li Se smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, you can rest assured and open your shop here from now on. If you have any trouble, feel free to call me anytime."
"Good, good, good," Uncle Wang immediately nodded.
Due to the earlier incident, they hadn't finished their meal. Li Se and Qiao Weiwei continued eating. After eating their fill, they chatted with Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang for a while longer before leaving.
Since Tian Anming had helped him twice today, Li Se specifically called him to express his gratitude.
"It's my duty. If it weren't for you, my daughter would still be lying in a hospital bed," Tian Anming said with a smile.
"It was my duty," Li Se had also charged Tian Anming a considerable consultation fee back then.
"By the way, my daughter has been pestering me to invite you to dinner. When do you have time to visit our home? I'll have your sister-in-law cook you a good meal." Tian Anming said.
"Alright, I'll definitely visit when I have time!" Li Se agreed.
Just as he hung up Tian Anming's call, another call came in. Li Se saw it was from Ao Long. He remembered Ao Long had asked him to see a patient yesterday and answered the phone.
"Master Li, where are you? I'll come pick you up?" Ao Long's respectful voice came from the other end. If it were an ordinary doctor, even after curing him, he wouldn't be this respectful. But Li Se had caught bullets with his bare hands, which had completely made him submit.
"Give me an address, and I'll go directly," Li Se said.
Soon, Ao Long gave an address. After Li Se hung up, he looked at Qiao Weiwei, "I have something to do, I need to go see a patient. Are you going home, or are you coming with me?"
"No, I have plans to go shopping with my girlfriend today," Qiao Weiwei shook her head.
"You have girlfriends in Qingyun City?" Li Se was surprised. Qiao Weiwei's home wasn't in Qingyun City, so she should have been unfamiliar with the place. How could she have girlfriends here?
"Are you silly? Can't my girlfriends come to find me?" Qiao Weiwei playfully tapped Li Se's forehead with a delicate finger.
"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Li Se took her hand and squeezed it.
Qiao Weiwei blushed and didn't pull her hand away. "No need, I'll take a taxi myself. You should hurry and go."
Half an hour later, Li Se drove to a sanatorium in Qingyun City. This was not the one he had visited before, but another one.
Ao Long was already waiting at the entrance of the sanatorium.
"Master Li!"
As soon as Ao Long saw Li Se, he rushed forward respectfully.
"Master Li." Ao Tian, who was with him, was also very respectful towards Li Se.
"Let's go in," Li Se nodded.
Along the way, Ao Tian introduced the patient's situation. The patient was old, nearly eighty. Li Se wasn't very confident with people of this age. Although his medical skills were superb, even so, he couldn't escape the laws of nature.
Many elderly people of this age were primarily old, not due to other issues. In such cases, Li Se was helpless.
Upon arriving at a hospital room, there was a middle-aged man inside. Seeing Ao Long, he said politely, "Master Long!"
"Mr. Tang, you're too kind. I've brought a divine doctor who might be able to help!" Ao Long introduced Li Se. Mr. Tang was his business partner. He owned diamond mines, while Mr. Tang was a diamond magnate with considerable wealth. Bringing Li Se here to treat someone also had the intention of currying favor with Mr. Tang.
Tang Xiao Chen sized up Li Se and frowned, looking somewhat unconvinced, "Master Long, are you sure it's him?"
"Absolutely sure, Mr. Tang. Don't worry, leave it to him, there will be no problem!" Ao Long guaranteed.
Although Tang Xiao Chen still had some doubts, since Ao Long had recommended him, and Ao Long didn't seem like someone who would deceive him, he nodded, "Alright, young man, it's up to you then."
Li Se glanced at the old man on the hospital bed and then shook his head, "There's no need to treat him."
"What do you mean?" Tang Xiao Chen asked, confused.
Li Se said faintly, "Prepare for the funeral."
