When Li Se’s words fell, Ye Fang was stunned, and the two guards who came with her stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief, completely unable to believe they had heard such rebellious words.
That’s right, Ye Fang had said such things before, but who was she? She was the current wife of the Lin family’s head, and also a direct descendant of the Ye family. With these dual identities, who would dare ask Ye Fang to call someone father?
“What did you say? You want me to call you Dad?” Anger flared on Ye Fang’s beautiful face. This brat actually dared to say such a thing.
“Audacious! You’re just a barefoot doctor, yet you dare say such things to Madam? You’re seeking death!”
“Too presumptuous! Kneel down! If you don’t kneel and beg for forgiveness, will the Lin family let you go?”
“…”
The two guards were furious.
“Barefoot doctor?” Li Se gestured, “Since I’m a barefoot doctor, please leave. Don’t come begging me. Go find the imperial physicians.”
Ye Fang’s expression was extremely grim. She had never been so humiliated, primarily because in her eyes, Li Se was just an ordinary barefoot doctor. If Lin Wu Nan hadn’t requested it, she would never have come. Even if the Lin family patriarch had died, she wouldn’t have come to beg Li Se, and yet this guy wanted her to call him father!
“Kid, do you know the consequences of offending the Lin family?” Ye Fang said coldly.
“Coincidentally, I recently offended someone named Ye Bowen. I heard this is offending the Ye family. See, I’m still fine, aren’t I?” Li Se said nonchalantly.
Ye Fang was choked. She did have some understanding of her nephew’s situation. He had been beaten several times, but the problem was that this guy was still unharmed. She found it hard to accept.
“Madam, let’s just arrest this kid!” The two guards could no longer hold back.
“I advise you not to make a move. You are Lin family guards, no doubt, and you’ve been trained, but your skills are not enough to cut it here!” Xu Qiang said lightly.
“Arrogant!” The two guards were extremely enraged and attacked Xu Qiang.
Bang bang…
The outcome was predictable. These two guards were no match for Xu Qiang. They immediately fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
To be a Lin family guard, one was naturally not to be trifled with. They had received extremely professional training, even equivalent to special forces, but even so, in front of Xu Qiang, they couldn’t even last one move.
When Ye Fang saw her guards fall, her expression changed instantly. She knew very well how formidable her guards were, yet they were instantly defeated. This showed how powerful the security of this clinic was.
“If you don’t want to beg, then get out!” Li Se waved his hand, too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Ye Fang.
“I can pay!” Ye Fang took a deep breath and said, “Is ten million enough? As long as you come to treat him, this ten million will be yours unconditionally!”
A house call for ten million would definitely be accepted by many doctors, but Li Se was not short of money. He smiled and said, “I thought you were going to ask me to name my price. Do I look like I’m short of money? Or just call me Dad. That would be more sincere, and it’s what you said earlier. What, are you going back on your word?”
Ye Fang said angrily, “Then name your price!”
“Ten billion, do you have it?” Li Se said straightforwardly.
“Why don’t you just rob someone?” Ye Fang was furious. This was clearly an outrageous demand. The Lin family was wealthy, but it didn’t mean they could produce ten billion. And even if they could, she wouldn’t agree. Even calling all the imperial physicians to treat the Lin family patriarch wouldn’t cost this much.
“So what if I’m robbing you?” Li Se said nonchalantly. “If you think it’s too much, you can go and call the imperial physicians. I’m just a barefoot doctor.”
Ye Fang gritted her teeth and said, “Do you really have to be like this? I am Wan Qiu’s mother. I can see that you have a good relationship with Wan Qiu. Perhaps you have feelings for Wan Qiu. But if you offend me today, you will never be able to marry Wan Qiu in this lifetime, not even have a chance to be together!”
Li Se smiled, a smile of disdain. “What, if I don’t offend you, then I can be with Wan Qiu? Stop blabbering. Either call me Dad, or get out!”
Ye Fang truly didn’t know what to do. If she called him Dad, how would she face people in the future, especially calling a barefoot doctor that? She couldn’t and wouldn’t do it.
“You wait!” Ye Fang turned to leave.
Li Se said faintly, “You’d better think carefully. The fact that you came to find me means that the Lin family patriarch’s condition has worsened, and other imperial physicians are helpless. The method I taught Wan Qiu has taken effect. In such a situation, besides me, no one in the entire capital can treat the Lin family patriarch! Moreover, very soon, the Lin family patriarch will experience the ‘heavenly human decline.’ By then, even immortals will not be able to save him.”
Ye Fang paused. She hesitated, but ultimately left the clinic, and the two guards followed her out.
As soon as she stepped out, Lin Wu Nan’s call came through.
“How is it? Have you invited Li Se?” Lin Wu Nan’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“He’s unwilling!” Ye Fang said through gritted teeth. “Wu Nan, I plan to use some means. I don’t believe I can’t take away a barefoot doctor!”
“Foolish!” Lin Wu Nan berated. “Do you know why imperial physicians have such extensive connections in the capital? It’s because no matter how noble your status or how great your power, you will always fall ill. Therefore, imperial physicians hold a respected position. It’s not that becoming an imperial physician makes you respected, but rather that those with high medical skills hold respected status, understand? If he can treat Father, then you have to beg him, and treat him with utmost respect!”
“Don’t use those tricks. If Father really has any accident, I won’t let you go. Don’t forget, you’re the one who drove him away twice. If you really want to deal with him, wait until he comes and fails to treat Father, then you can deal with him!”
“Dududu…”
Lin Wu Nan finished speaking these few words concisely and hung up the phone directly. He had issued a death order!
Ye Fang’s expression shook. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she was married after all. If she were to be despised by Lin Wu Nan in the future, her life would be miserable.
“Damn it!” Ye Fang’s expression became somewhat ferocious. After receiving this call, she had no choice but to return to the clinic and go directly to Li Se.
Without any hesitation, she said word by word: “Dad!!!”
