“Young Master Ye, please get up. Are you alright?” Yu Zhiyong helped Ye Bowen to his feet.
Ye Bowen remained silent, surprisingly calm, but his eyes were bloodshot. He said nothing and paid no attention to Yu Zhiyong, leaving the security team directly. Kuaishuge.
“Yu Zhiyong, you don’t need to come here anymore. Go back and train your dog eyes properly,” Gao Hongyang said indifferently. If Ye Bowen still wanted to protect Yu Zhiyong, he wouldn’t have told him to leave. The key was that Ye Bowen had said nothing.
Yu Zhiyong sighed. He knew this would be his fate.
In the jeep, Leng Rushuang sat beside Li Se. Even without makeup or perfume, she exuded a faint fragrance. Especially her chest, which seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.
Li Se found himself unable to look away for a moment. This woman was truly exceptional. Although her skin was tanned, darker than his many other women, such as Huang Shanshan or Jiang Ranran, whose skin was incredibly fair and rosy, Leng Rushuang lost no luster due to her tanned complexion. Instead, she possessed a unique charm.
“Am I good-looking?” Leng Rushuang’s voice suddenly broke the silence.
Damn it! Caught peeking, Li Se felt awkward. He coughed lightly and could only answer truthfully, “Yes, you are!”
“You’re quite honest,” Leng Rushuang said, somewhat surprised. Other men might have pretended to be prim and proper, or even denied peeking. This guy was interesting. She smiled and added, “Your actions today were quite satisfying, but offending the Ye family will cause you considerable trouble.”
“Ah, yes, it’s quite a lot of trouble,” Li Se’s gaze involuntarily drifted towards her ample cleavage. They were truly magnificent.
“Can you be serious?” Leng Rushuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. Was this guy pushing his luck?
“Huh?” Li Se finally realized he had been distracted again. He quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, it was unintentional.”
Leng Rushuang snorted and said, “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re the captain’s attending physician, I’d have you dissected!”
Li Se couldn’t help but shudder. Didn’t she just say she liked him? Now she wanted to dissect him? Women, truly, could change their minds faster than flipping a book. However, when she turned her head away, he didn’t notice a blush creeping onto her tanned cheeks, and a subtle smile playing on her lips.
Upon arriving at the sanatorium, Li Se had some medicinal herbs prepared and began a medicated bath for Li Shengjun. Although acupuncture had been performed the previous day, Li Shengjun’s injuries were too severe, and he had not yet woken up.
The medicated bath would take over an hour. Thus, after briefing Sun Bai, Li Se left the sanatorium. He had emerged victorious from his confrontation with Ye Bowen, but he had also invited considerable trouble. As soon as he left the sanatorium, he called Tang Xi.
“Li Se, are you alright?” Tang Xi asked anxiously. “I’m sorry, after I went home, I told them about your situation, and my family locked me up. Are you okay now?”
“I’m fine,” Li Se felt a warmth in his heart. He could tell from her tone that Tang Xi was genuinely worried about him.
“That’s good. I’m sorry I implicated you this time,” Tang Xi said, feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, if she hadn’t sought out Li Se, none of this would have happened, and she wouldn’t have offended Ye Bowen.
“It’s alright, it wasn’t anything major,” Li Se said with a smile, appearing nonchalant.
After a brief chat, someone seemed to arrive at Tang Xi’s end, and she hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, at the Tang family residence.
Although the Tang family was a collateral branch, ever since Ye Bowen took an interest in Tang Xi, her family’s status within the Tang clan naturally rose. Even though the Tang family was one of the top families in the capital, there was still a gap between them and the Ye family. Moreover, if these two prominent families were to form an alliance through marriage, both the Tang family and the Ye family would stand to benefit greatly.
It could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, what the Tang family hadn’t anticipated was that Tang Xi would become involved with another man, and that Ye Bowen would discover it. This naturally incurred the wrath of the entire Tang family, with many direct descendants of the Tang family berating Tang Xi as promiscuous.
“Sis… Sis… are you there?” a young figure appeared.
“Tang An, what are you doing here?” Tang Xi frowned.
“Sis, don’t you know what happened?” Tang An looked surprised. He was Tang Xi’s cousin, but unlike the others in the Tang family, he had been close to Tang Xi since childhood, treating her genuinely like his own sister.
“What happened?” Tang Xi asked listlessly.
“Sis, it’s about your… extramarital affair,” Tang An said quickly.
Tang Xi glared at Tang An and playfully tapped his forehead, angrily retorting, “What extramarital affair? Your sister isn’t even married yet!”
“Oh, oh, it’s pretty much the same thing,” Tang An didn’t see anything wrong with his statement. After all, Tang Xi was already engaged to Ye Bowen. Getting involved with another man now was essentially an affair.
“Is it about Li Se?” Tang Xi asked.
“Mm-hmm!” Tang An nodded.
Upon hearing that it concerned Li Se, Tang Xi urged, “Then why aren’t you telling me quickly?”
Tang An glanced at the table, walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and then recounted the day’s events in meticulous detail. Finally, he couldn’t resist adding, “Sis, your so-called lover is truly amazing! He actually beat up Ye Bowen and forced him to kneel. Not only that, but he slapped him several times too! You know, this is Ye Bowen, he’s among the top young masters in the capital. If this news gets out, many people won’t believe it.”
Tang Xi was also greatly shocked. Was Li Se that formidable? He actually forced Ye Bowen to beg him? This guy was only in the capital for the first time!
She knew Li Se’s medical skills were excellent, and she knew he had many connections in Qingyun City. But Qingyun City was Qingyun City, and this was the capital. It was like yesterday when Ye Bowen mobilized the security forces, and Li Se was helpless, forced to be arrested obediently. Even with all his connections in Qingyun City, they were useless here in the capital.
However, she hadn’t expected that this display of force would completely overwhelm Ye Bowen. Of course, a hint of worry also surfaced on her face because she knew Ye Bowen’s vengeful nature.
Tang Xi felt uneasy and said urgently, “No, I have to go find him!”
