Liu Tingting’s face turned pale. Was she going to kneel and call him Dad again? She absolutely refused and gritted her teeth, "Why should I kneel and call you Dad?"
"Why? Your man is gone, tell me why?" Li Se said indifferently.
Liu Tingting turned her head and saw no trace of Zheng Chu. Was he even a man? He acted like this before, and now like this again. Her heart turned cold, her eyes reddened slightly, and she could only kneel, saying with great humiliation, "Dad!"
"Scram, and take your dog with you!" Li Se waved his hand.
Liu Tingting dared not linger any longer and left with her dog.
"Um… I… I'll wrap it up for you." The sales associate from before trembled.
Li Se smiled, "No need, why bother? Do we look like we can afford this dress?"
*Thump!*
The sales associate knelt down, "I was wrong, I was blind, I looked down on you with dog eyes, I won't dare to do it again…"
Even Young Master Zheng was scared away by this person. She, as a mere sales associate, was not someone to offend.
"Ultimately, you are just a sales associate. Put away your pitiful sense of superiority!" Li Se snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with the sales associate. He quickly paid and left with Huang Shanshan.
However, shortly after leaving the mall, a group of people immediately surrounded them. They were all holding iron pipes, clearly not good people, and there were many of them, completely encircling Li Se and Huang Shanshan.
"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig your eyeballs out!" The leader was a rather fat man. He held an iron pipe, and as he walked, his flesh jiggled, making him look quite comical. Seeing many people wanting to be onlookers, he immediately flew into a rage, scaring everyone away.
"What do you gentlemen mean by this? In broad daylight, under the Emperor’s nose, this isn't right?" Li Se asked calmly, as if negotiating with them.
"Heh, what do we mean? Kid, I heard you're quite arrogant?" The fat man placed the iron pipe on his shoulder and said arrogantly, "You're quite capable, even breaking people's fingers. It seems you have a hobby for this, dare to break my fingers and see?"
Hearing this, Li Se knew that it was most likely people Zheng Chu had found. He smiled, "Your request is a bit too masochistic. How about you let us go, and I'll pretend today never happened?"
"Pfft…" The thugs couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pretend it never happened? Listen, does that sound like something a person would say?"
"He is indeed quite arrogant, no wonder he likes breaking people's fingers."
"How dare you speak to Brother Qiu like this?"
"Brother Qiu, break all ten of his fingers directly, no nonsense!"
"…"
The thugs all scoffed.
The fat man, known as Brother Qiu, held the iron pipe in his hand and tapped it against his other hand, saying, "Kid, you talk funny. You say pretend it never happened. What kind of ball are you to talk to me like that? I'll give you a choice. We'll take the woman, and then you break ten of your own fingers. Perhaps I'll let you leave!"
Li Se’s eyes chilled slightly, and he said, "It seems you won't listen to advice."
"Little ones, it seems some people won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Let's let him know why the flowers are so red!" This Brother Qiu was also a ruthless character. As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the iron pipe directly towards Li Se's forehead.
Li Se snorted coldly, put his arm around Huang Shanshan's slender waist, stomped his foot to the side, and in an instant, dodged the attack. At the same time, he reached out, grabbed the iron pipe, and with a strong pull, snatched Brother Qiu's iron pipe. Then, he delivered a swift blow.
Brother Qiu had raised the iron pipe to smash at Li Se, and then the pipe was snatched away. Before he could react, his forehead split open, and blood flowed profusely.
"Ah!" Brother Qiu clutched his head and screamed.
"All of you, attack!" The others reacted and, holding their iron pipes, rushed towards Li Se.
Li Se had now cultivated his Qi Refining technique to almost the third level. How could these thugs deal with him? He held Huang Shanshan and easily dodged their attacks. Although these thugs were numerous and their attacks were dazzling, they just couldn't hit him.
*Bang!*
While the thugs couldn't hit, Li Se's every move resulted in a thug falling.
*Bang, bang, bang…*
"Ah…" Amidst the fierce screams, in a short while, all these dozens of thugs had fallen to the ground, writhing in pain.
This was the entrance of the mall, and there were naturally many onlookers. When they saw Li Se single-handedly take down so many people, they were stunned, momentarily forgetting to take photos. By the time they recovered and took out their phones, Li Se was nowhere to be seen.
"I didn't expect you to be able to fight so many people while holding me," Huang Shanshan said softly, her pretty face flushed. The scene just now had made her somewhat excited.
"You're lighter," Li Se smiled.
Huang Shanshan wiggled her body, leaned closer to Li Se, and whispered, "Let's go home, I... I want something."
Li Se was taken aback. Was she aroused by his heroic display?
Upon returning home, it was inevitable that another battle would ensue. Just as it had ended, Li Se received a call from Sun Bai.
"Little friend Li, where are you?" Sun Bai asked urgently.
"Imperial Physician Sun, I'm at home. What's wrong?" Li Se asked, confused.
"You've returned to Qingyun City?" Sun Bai was surprised.
Li Se explained, "Someone gave me a villa, so this is my home now."
"Oh, that's good. I have a difficult patient here. Can you come over? If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a Gu poisoning!" Sun Bai's voice sounded somewhat grave.
"Okay!" Li Se immediately nodded.
Huang Shanshan, lying limply on the bed beside him, softly asked, "Are you going out on a house call?"
"Yes, it seems someone has been poisoned by Gu. I need to go. Besides, for Imperial Physician Sun to offer his treatment, it means the other party's identity is not simple." Li Se's expression was also a bit solemn. Gu poisoning is very tricky. Some Gu are easier to resolve, like the wife of Mayor Ding Peng; that Gu was relatively easy to resolve. But some Gu are very difficult, like Su Mei's, which requires certain medicinal ingredients to cure.
At this moment, at the Chu family.
Li Se parked the car and was about to go in when a guard immediately stopped him.
"This is the Chu family. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" the guard said coldly.
Although Li Se was somewhat displeased with the guard's words, he still said calmly, "I'm a doctor. Please inform them."
The guard glanced at Li Se with some disdain, "You're a doctor? Heh, what a joke. Only imperial physicians can treat the Chu family. What kind of doctor are you?"
