Mr. Tom never imagined that Li Se would appear here, and even if he did come, he wouldn't be able to get this far. After all, he had arranged for many thugs in the manor. Had they all fallen?
"Guards! Guards!!!" Mr. Tom roared.
Li Se sneered, "No need to shout. All your subordinates have been knocked down by me."
As he spoke, he walked into the room. Upon seeing Qiao Weiwei bound tightly, his eyes were filled with fury.
"You... what are you going to do?" Mr. Tom was startled and retreated involuntarily.
Li Se ignored Mr. Tom at first. He walked to Qiao Weiwei's side, unbound her, and then Qiao Weiwei threw herself into his arms.
Although this little girl was usually very domineering, the events of today had indeed frightened her.
"Tom, right? Do you know what the consequences of offending me will be? Especially for daring to lay a hand on my woman." Li Se's tone was icy, his gaze equally cold, and an aura of malevolence surrounded him.
"I am a distinguished foreign friend. If you dare to touch me..." Mr. Tom was about to say something when Li Se suddenly lifted him up.
"Let me go... As long as you let me go, I can give you money, a lot of money... Ah!"
Mr. Tom began to beg for mercy, but before he could finish, Li Se had already inserted a silver needle into his abdomen.
"I told you earlier that your condition was not good. Now I have accelerated the progression of your illness, but I won't let you die. I'll only make it so you can't live and can't die!" Li Se sneered and threw Mr. Tom aside.
Mr. Tom's face changed dramatically. He tried to get up from the ground, but for some reason, he couldn't. His body felt weak. He said in fear, "What did you do to me?"
"I didn't do anything to you, I just accelerated your illness. You'll find out when you get a medical examination. Oh, by the way, you won't be able to touch women for the rest of your life." Li Se grinned.
This smile was like that of a devil in Mr. Tom's eyes. He was terrified. If he couldn't be a normal man, his life would be devoid of pleasure.
Li Se no longer paid attention to Mr. Tom. He picked up Qiao Weiwei horizontally and swaggered out of the manor.
After Li Se left, Mr. Tom quickly made a call. Soon, an ambulance arrived and took everyone from the manor to the hospital. After examination, it turned out that Mr. Tom's kidneys were equivalent to those of an eighty-year-old. His condition was supposed to take some more time to manifest, but Li Se's silver needle had directly aged his kidneys by decades.
"No..." Mr. Tom roared in the hospital.
Since Mr. Tom was an international friend and his primary purpose in China was business, the mayor himself, along with people from the security department, came to the scene.
Han Minglang called the security department over and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, you must investigate thoroughly."
"Mayor Han, the investigation is complete." The head of the security department showed a wry smile.
"What exactly happened?" Han Minglang asked coldly.
The部長 explained, "It's like this..."
After the security department chief's narration, Han Minglang's expression changed. It turned out that Mr. Tom had forcibly abducted a civilian in broad daylight, and she was the president of the Muzi Chamber of Commerce. This was utter lawlessness.
He knew who the boss behind the Muzi Chamber of Commerce was – wasn't it the divine doctor Li?
"How dare this Tom be so bold!" Han Minglang's face darkened. This was China, the capital, under the Emperor's watch. How could Tom dare to be so presumptuous?
"Mayor Han, do you need to call Divine Doctor Li to assist with the investigation?" the chief inquired. He naturally knew about Li Se. It was thanks to Li Se that he was now the chief of the security department.
The previous chief had been brought down by Li Se.
"Let's just go through the motions. It was Tom who made the first move!" Han Minglang certainly wouldn't deliberately favor Li Se, but he also wouldn't favor Mr. Tom. The primary reason was that Tom's actions had also made him extremely angry.
"Understood!" The chief immediately nodded.
Han Minglang was too lazy to bother with Mr. Tom and was about to leave when at that moment, Tom's secretary, Daniel, walked over. He said angrily, "Mayor Han, you must give us an explanation for this!"
Han Minglang was somewhat annoyed, but he calmly asked, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
"The Muzi Chamber of Commerce must pay the price!" Daniel said coldly.
Han Minglang smiled. "Secretary Daniel, if this matter is investigated further, it will be extremely unfavorable to your Mr. Tom."
"Why would it be unfavorable?" Daniel frowned.
"You yourself know why Mr. Tom ended up like this. In broad daylight, abducting a civilian, with all the evidence and surveillance, if investigated, it would be illegal. In that case, Mr. Tom would also have to bear the legal sanctions of our China. It's better to have one less thing than one more. Moreover, Mr. Tom's condition is a personal health issue, and he has no one to blame but himself." Han Minglang said faintly, implying that they should be grateful they weren't in trouble.
The implication in Han Minglang's words was clear: if the investigation continued, it was uncertain if Li Se would face any repercussions, but Mr. Tom would definitely be subject to legal punishment.
Daniel's face changed several times, but he reacted quickly and said with a cold smile, "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Tom. It was the subordinates acting on their own. Mr. Tom was trying to stop them at the time. If anyone is to be arrested, it should be those subordinates. Moreover, Mr. Tom is a distinguished international friend. Mayor Han, you know why Mr. Tom came to China. He is here to invest. Is this how you treat distinguished international friends? Regardless, you must give us an explanation!"
Han Minglang was somewhat enraged by this. Wasn't this blatant lying? He was trying to stop them? What nonsense. However, he also knew Mr. Tom's influence. It was likely that those subordinates had been bought off, and their testimonies would eventually align, especially since the surveillance didn't show Mr. Tom making any moves. Furthermore, Mr. Tom's status was indeed quite sensitive, which made him particularly vexed.
Seeing Han Minglang remain silent, Daniel continued to press him, "The Muzi Chamber of Commerce must pay the price. Mayor Han, I hope you can give us an explanation soon, give Mr. Tom an explanation. If you don't, we will not rest!"
