Extracting the bullet and stopping the bleeding with acupuncture... after a series of actions, the man also woke up. He looked at Li Se and said weakly, "You saved me?"
"Don't rush to thank me yet. I've already called someone to confirm your identity. If you're truly a fugitive, I won't let you escape," Li Se said calmly.
The man gave a wry smile and said, "I still want to thank you. My life from now on belongs to you."
Before long, Tang Xi arrived and immediately began verifying the man's identity. After about ten minutes, she said, "This is Xu Qiang, a former member of our Huaxia special forces unit, the Demon Hunter Team. I didn't expect to meet him here."
"Oh, so he's not anymore?" Li Se asked.
"Yes," Tang Xi nodded. "He was retired due to some injuries."
Li Se looked at Xu Qiang, somewhat puzzled. "Since you're retired, why were you shot?"
Xu Qiang smiled wryly. "That's because I have many enemies. Now that I'm retired, I'm on my own, so naturally, many people want revenge."
"Doesn't the country protect you?" Li Se asked.
Xu Qiang shook his head with a bitter smile.
Tang Xi also fell silent. She was helpless in such matters. In fact, after she retired, she would face the same fate as Xu Qiang. While working in the Enforcement Department, she had apprehended many individuals, thus offending numerous people. With her current status, those individuals dared not act rashly. However, once she retired, the vengeful would surely come. Many retired members of the Enforcement Department had already been killed.
Li Se immediately understood their predicament and said, "You said your life is mine, does that still count?"
"Yes!" Xu Qiang nodded.
"Follow me from now on. Your skills should be quite good, right?" Li Se was in need of capable helpers, and Xu Qiang seemed to be a good fit.
"But... my current skills..." Xu Qiang smiled wryly.
Li Se smiled slightly. "I can help heal your old injuries. You'll stay here from now on."
"Can you really heal it?" Xu Qiang had suffered severe injuries during a mission years ago, which had reduced his strength significantly from its peak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been shot so easily.
"Of course, I'm a doctor!" Li Se said with full confidence.
Xu Qiang was somewhat pleased but also hesitant. "But this will bring you a lot of trouble..."
Li Se interrupted him decisively. "I will help you solve the trouble!"
"Okay!" Xu Qiang nodded heavily.
"Come with me for a moment," Tang Xi said to Li Se, then turned and left the clinic.
Old Huang saw another beautiful woman arrive and looked dejected. He grabbed his granddaughter and said, "Shanshan, you should hurry up and marry this brat. There are too many beauties here!"
"Grandpa, we can't rush it," Huang Shanshan replied calmly.
"Get married quickly, have children quickly," Old Huang urged.
Huang Shanshan blushed and chided, "Grandpa, how can you say that? This can't be rushed..."
"Why can't we be in a hurry?" Old Huang pointed outside the clinic. "If we don't hurry, they'll all be snatched away by others."
Huang Shanshan was speechless, not knowing how to explain to her grandfather.
After leaving the clinic, Li Se followed Tang Xi. He asked, "You called me out because of Xu Qiang?"
"That's right," Tang Xi looked at Li Se. "As a former member of the Demon Hunter Team, his skills are extraordinary. Even the Blood Gate assassin organization is like a toy in the hands of the Demon Hunter Team. You healed him and let him follow you, do you have any dangerous intentions?"
"No," Li Se said calmly.
"Heh heh, don't think I don't know. You want him to do things for you, right?" Tang Xi sneered.
"So what if I do?" Li Se indeed needed his own force.
"Hmph, you just want to do bad things, don't you?" Tang Xi said.
Li Se smiled. "Officer Tang, I'm a law-abiding citizen."
"Then why are you recruiting Xu Qiang to your side?" Tang Xi said mockingly.
Li Se frowned slightly, his tone turning cold. "Xu Qiang, as a former member of the Demon Hunter Team, regardless of what he's done for the country, his injuries, and being hunted after retirement, are all due to his mission back then, right? You're not taking care of him, and I can't even take him in? Or are you from the Enforcement Department going to protect him from today onwards?"
Tang Xi said coldly, "But you can heal his injuries. Once he recovers, he'll have the ability to protect himself!"
"Then why do you think I'm treating him?" Li Se asked dismissively.
"You!" Tang Xi was furious. "As a doctor, you should treat him. That's your duty!"
"Then as a woman, shouldn't you give birth to my children?" Li Se retorted.
"You're changing the subject!" Tang Xi's face turned red with anger.
"Don't think you can stand on the moral high ground," Li Se didn't want to waste any more time with Tang Xi and turned to leave.
"You scoundrel!" Tang Xi could no longer tolerate it.
Li Se darted aside, dodging Tang Xi's leg. At the same time, he reached out.
"You... let go of me!" Seeing Li Se's gaze was a bit off, Tang Xi said urgently.
"You made the first move." Li Se had no intention of letting go. Not taking advantage of a good opportunity would be foolish.
"You, you, you... what are you doing?"
"What can I do?"
"Does it feel good to touch?" Tang Xi suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"Good!" Li Se was about to say something but immediately realized what was happening and quickly let go of Tang Xi, saying with some helplessness, "It's a misunderstanding!"
Tang Xi had already pulled out a handgun. This woman was like a raging bull, drawing a gun at the slightest disagreement. And the gun was hidden in her pants, very close to a sensitive area. Wasn't she afraid of accidental discharge?
"You scoundrel!" Tang Xi gritted her teeth. "Let's go to the police station!"
Saying that, she produced handcuffs and intended to cuff Li Se.
"I say, after all, I healed your superior, and you're treating me like this?" Li Se said helplessly. He was somewhat wary of guns, but he was also confident he could subdue Tang Xi at this close range. However, it seemed unnecessary.
"Less nonsense, come with me!" Tang Xi said angrily.
