Mr. Tom almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. Ask him to beg Li Se? Was that a joke of international proportions? He, in his current condition, was a result of Li Se’s doing. For him to go and beg the other party was absolutely impossible.
“President Luolin, you want me to beg that kid?”
Tom felt as though this was a joke of global proportions. He snorted coldly and said, “It’s impossible for me to beg that kid. If he were to come and treat me, perhaps I could even go easy on him!”
What a joke. If it weren’t for that kid, would he have become like this? No matter what, he had to get revenge.
“President Luolin, according to what you’re saying, only that kid can cure me? Very well, Daniel, immediately take your men and arrest that kid!” Even at this juncture, Tom remained extremely arrogant. Asking him to beg Li Se was simply out of the question.
“Yes, Mr. Tom!” Daniel responded immediately.
Luolin frowned, “Tom, think clearly. I understand Li’s personality. If you don’t beg him and instead resort to such methods, you will only regret it yourself in the end.”
Tom smiled, “If he can make me regret it, then he’s truly impressive!”
Clearly, Mr. Tom did not take Li Se seriously at all. He knew Li Se was skilled, but these days it wasn’t about who had better martial arts, but about power and wealth!
Luolin didn’t say anything further. After all, this fellow would surely regret it. After arranging for someone to watch Tom, she left alone. Upon leaving the hospital, her first destination was naturally Li Se.
“Li, as you predicted, we are also helpless with Tom’s condition,” Luolin said.
Li Se smiled, “His physical condition was already precarious. Even if I were to intervene, it would be like snatching someone back from the gates of hell.”
“Li, I’ve already told them that only you can treat him. However, judging by Mr. Tom’s attitude, he doesn’t seem like he’ll come to beg you and will likely use other means. Be careful,” Luolin cautioned.
“Mm, I know.” Li Se wasn’t particularly concerned. Those who wanted to force him to treat them hadn’t been born yet.
“Li, it’s gotten very late. Can you take me for a late-night snack?” Having finally found an opportunity to be alone, Luolin naturally cherished it.
Li Se readily agreed. He took Luolin to the night market, which was bustling with activity, offering many snacks and small trinkets.
Luolin picked up a small piece of jewelry, held it up, and asked Li Se, “What do you think, is it pretty?”
“Beautiful!” Li Se nodded sincerely. He had to admit, Luolin was truly beautiful, especially as a Western woman. Wherever she went, she would attract the attention of everyone. Of course, it wasn’t to say that she was the only foreign woman on this street; there were many foreigners in the capital.
However, for such a beautiful woman with a great figure, Luolin was the only one to be seen.
Moreover, Luolin possessed an excellent temperament, making it obvious she wasn't an ordinary person. She instantly drew the gaze of countless people. Many men couldn't help but swallow their saliva, simultaneously looking at Li Se with envy and jealousy.
If only such a stunning foreign woman were in their embrace, but they could only fantasize about it in their minds.
“Hey there, beautiful, wanna get acquainted?”
Just then, several people blocked Luolin’s path. The leader was a rather lewd man who appeared to have been drinking. Upon seeing how beautiful Luolin was, he couldn't contain himself.
Luolin glanced at them and then affectionately linked her arm through Li Se’s. She calmly said, “I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend.”
The lewd man glanced at Li Se and immediately dismissed him. With such slender arms and legs, why would he need to take him seriously? He said with some disdain, “Kid, we’ve got our eyes on your girl. You go wherever it’s cool. If you don’t listen, don’t blame us for being unreasonable.”
There were many people in this night market, with crowds coming and going. As soon as they saw trouble brewing, many stopped to watch.
“Is that Brother Fa?”
“It’s him! He’s the local gang leader around here. If he sets his sights on you, it’s never good news.”
“Indeed. This foreign girl is so beautiful, Brother Fa definitely won’t let her go easily.”
“…”
Everyone was discussing it. However, given Brother Fa’s status, no one dared to step forward to play the hero and save the damsel, especially since Brother Fa had quite a few subordinates with him.
Brother Fa’s subordinates had all been drinking. Fueled by alcohol, they surrounded Li Se and Luolin. Upon seeing such a beautiful foreign woman, they were all visibly excited, wishing they could deal with Luolin right then and there.
“What, forcibly abducting a woman?” Li Se said coldly.
“How can you call it forcibly abducting a woman? If you can’t protect this foreign girl, you must hand her over to me. Kid, I’ve already warned you. Leave immediately, or else…” Brother Fa began to threaten, but he hadn’t finished speaking.
*Slap!*
A loud slap echoed through the air. It was Li Se who had delivered the blow directly to Brother Fa without any hesitation.
The sound of the slap reverberated through the area, stunning many. No one had expected Li Se to strike so directly. This was Brother Fa, the boss of this area, and he dared to act like this?
Everyone knew that after this slap, Li Se would likely pay a heavy price.
“Good kid, you’re too bold, daring to hit Brother Fa?”
“Thing that doesn’t know its place, do you know who our Brother Fa is?”
“This kid is dead for sure!”
Brother Fa’s subordinates were all astonished, as they too hadn’t expected Li Se to make a move.
Brother Fa himself wore a grim expression. As the leader of this area, he had been slapped, and in full view of everyone. If word of this got out, how could he maintain his standing in this area? What face would he have left to be the leader?
“You dare to hit me? Good, very good! My little brothers, beat this kid to death!” Brother Fa roared.
Upon receiving the order, his subordinates surged towards Li Se without any hesitation.
The onlookers couldn’t bear to watch, as in their eyes, Li Se was truly in for it this time.
*Bang bang bang…*
“Urgh…”
But a scene that defied belief unfolded. Brother Fa’s subordinates were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
