Li Se leisurely poured himself a cup of tea, then unhurriedly sat down opposite Ye Zhizhuan, crossed his legs, took a leisurely sip, and then slowly said, "What do I think? You've got it wrong, it's not what I think, it's what you think!"
This guy was simply arrogant and dismissive. His secretary almost slapped him. How dare anyone be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Ye? He didn't even pour a cup of tea for Mr. Ye.
This was too much, truly too much!
Ye Zhizhuan, however, remained calm. He stared at Li Se, sneered, and said, "I'll say it again, as long as you cure my son, my Ye family will not trouble you further. You might think you're not afraid of the Ye family's trouble, but you can try. The Ye family's power is beyond your imagination. Don't think you can act recklessly just because you have the Li family backing you. Moreover, I'm aware of what happened at the Li family banquet. You've likely offended the Mu family as well!"
Li Se was not surprised. The events at the Li family banquet were no secret. However, he said indifferently, "Alright, then you can leave. Oh, and by the way, Ye Tianqi has been captured by me, so you don't need to wait for him to come home."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhizhuan's expression flickered slightly. So, Ye Tianqi had indeed failed. This Li Se had some skills.
"Li Se, just tell me directly, what exactly do you want to cure my son!" Ye Zhizhuan's voice deepened slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to cause trouble for Li Se; he had just wanted to threaten Li Se into backing down. As long as Li Se feared the Ye family, he would definitely treat his son, but it seemed this threat was ineffective.
It made sense. If Li Se feared the Ye family, he wouldn't have broken his son's arms.
What he needed to do now was compromise. As long as his son's arms could be restored, anything could be discussed. As for revenge, that could be dealt with after the treatment.
"I broke these arms myself, so why should I treat your son?" Li Se smiled faintly.
"Are you playing with Mr. Ye?!" the secretary retorted angrily.
Ye Zhizhuan waved his hand, signaling the secretary to quiet down. He looked at Li Se and said in a deep voice, "Li Se, is this amusing? You asked me to come over, which means you are willing to treat him. Since that's the case, it's all about interests. What do you need, what do you want, just say it. Don't beat around the bush with me; there's no point and no need. There's nothing to discuss between us, just tell me what you want!"
If Li Se were completely unwilling to treat him, he wouldn't have asked Ye Zhizhuan to come over. What was the point of playing games?
Both Ye Zhizhuan and Li Se had reached this point; who had the leisure to play games?
"Haha!" Li Se couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You're quite clever. Fine, then I won't beat around the bush. If you want me to treat him, I can. Help me investigate something, and I'll help you cure him!"
Ye Zhizhuan frowned slightly.
However, Li Se glanced at the secretary.
The secretary was very angry, extremely angry. What did this brat mean? Was he implying that his presence was a hindrance?
"You can go out first," Ye Zhizhuan said calmly.
"Yes!" Although the secretary was very angry, he could only obey and leave.
After the secretary left, Ye Zhizhuan said, "Can you tell me now?"
Qiao Weiwei was also in the office. She didn't go over, sitting by the desk and quietly watching the two, feeling incredibly strange.
This Ye Zhizhuan was a big shot, yet he was completely controlled by Li Se. Even if they reached an agreement, he would likely seek revenge later.
She felt a vague sense of worry, as the Ye family was a top family in the capital.
Li Se retracted his smile and said in a deep voice, "It's very simple. Someone in the Li family wants to kill me. You should be aware of that. If you can help me find out who the mastermind is, I will help treat your good-for-nothing son!"
Ye Zhizhuan raised an eyebrow at this. He had only heard rumors about this matter, and such things were not uncommon in top families.
Li Se was too outstanding, with his identities as an imperial physician and a Heavenly Dragon special forces instructor, and being a ancient martial arts practitioner. Such a person entering the Li family would be a strong contender for the position of family head.
It was normal for someone in the Li family to not want Li Se to join the family. In his opinion, Li Shengguo and Li Shengmin were the most likely candidates. The investigation wouldn't be too difficult, as he could investigate if he put his mind to it.
However, he was unhappy that this brat called his son a good-for-nothing.
"I can investigate, but it will take time. You can treat Bowen for me first," Ye Zhizhuan said straightforwardly.
This request was not excessive and not difficult for him, so agreeing was natural.
But even if it wasn't difficult, the investigation required time, and could his son wait?
"I need the investigation results before I treat him. One week. If you can't find out within a week, then it just means you're also a good-for-nothing, and this deal is off," Li Se left no room for negotiation.
Calling him a good-for-nothing, again and again!
Ye Zhizhuan's expression darkened slightly. Couldn't you just talk properly?
We are making a deal now. I am a big leader, can't you be more polite?
"Alright, I agree!" Ye Zhizhuan finally nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll await your news," Li Se said with a faint smile.
Ye Zhizhuan did not linger and soon left the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Ye, what does this Li Se mean? Is he unwilling to treat him?" the secretary asked anxiously.
"We made a deal. There's something you need to investigate," Ye Zhizhuan quickly issued an order.
When the secretary learned what he was supposed to investigate, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ye, that's the Li family..."
"It's not difficult, but it's very troublesome. You'd better be discreet," Ye Zhizhuan said calmly.
For a big figure like him, once an order was given, subordinates had to execute it obediently without any unnecessary chatter.
"Yes!" The secretary immediately nodded, but his face was filled with shock. Investigating the Li family!
The Li family was a top family in the capital, on the same level as the Ye family. As Ye Zhizhuan said, the investigation wasn't difficult, but the trouble was immense.
The Li family was very capable. If they were investigated, they could easily be discovered, which would lead to trouble!
