In a private room on the first floor of the Haolong Clubhouse.
After finishing the phone call, Aotian glared at Li Se and said, "Just wait, my dad will be here soon, and he'll tear you to shreds!"
"I'm waiting!" Li Se said dismissively. However, what he was thinking was that if he could get the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus this time, he would have to properly claim credit from Su Mei. He wondered what kind of reward he would receive.
Just then, the commotion outside the private room subsided significantly, eventually quieting down. Everyone in the room widened their eyes as Xu Qiang walked in, his face still smudged with blood. He grinned and said, "Boss, it's done. Damn, I haven't fought like this in a while; it was a bit much!"
"Have a drink." Li Se picked up a glass of red wine from the table and tossed it to Xu Qiang.
Xu Qiang caught the red wine but then tossed it aside, shaking his head and saying, "I can't get used to red wine. It would be great if I had some Maotai."
"You're quite picky," Li Se said helplessly.
The wealthy young men around them were all dumbfounded. This bottle of red wine was worth over a hundred thousand yuan, while Maotai was only a few thousand yuan a bottle. When did a hundred-thousand-yuan red wine become undesirable?
"Who is causing trouble on my Haolong's territory?"
Finally, Haolong appeared, accompanied by several men in black and Gou Tai. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Dad, it's this kid!" Aotian excitedly pointed at Li Se.
"Master Long is here!"
"This kid won't be able to show off now."
"Heh, he's dead for sure!"
"..."
Everyone looked on with schadenfreude.
Haolong looked at Li Se, narrowing his eyes, and said, "I don't think I know you. What business do you have with me?"
As he spoke, he walked into the private room, and upon entering, he glanced at Xu Qiang and said with a smile, "Were the people outside just now all taken down by you? You're quite capable. Do you want to work for me, Haolong?"
"You're not qualified!" Xu Qiang said indifferently.
Haolong's mouth twitched. He was, after all, someone with a mine, but he only showed a hint of displeasure and didn't dwell on the topic. He eventually turned his attention to Li Se, knowing that Li Se was the main culprit.
"So you've been poisoned by fire, no wonder you want the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus." Li Se glanced at Haolong and immediately understood the reason for his condition.
"Did you investigate me?" Haolong's face darkened. He had never mentioned his fire poison to anyone. Only the doctors who had treated him knew about it. Could it be that one of the doctors leaked it?
"Investigate you?" Li Se said with disdain. "Someone with a mine, and not some big shot. Why would I need to investigate? I'm a doctor; I can tell you have fire poison just by looking."
Haolong's mouth twitched. His family owned a diamond mine, but in this kid's words, it seemed worthless. He sneered, "Kid, do you know what the consequences are for causing trouble on my Haolong's territory? Not only that, but you also hit my son. There hasn't been anyone born yet who dares to hit my son."
"He's just a good-for-nothing," Li Se said, having no intention of discussing Aotian. "I'm here to make a deal with you. If you give me the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus, I can cure your fire poison!"
"You can cure my fire poison?" Haolong frowned slightly.
"Nonsense!" Gou Tai snorted. "To cure fire poison, the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus is the only way; there's no other method. I am Gou Tai. Who are you? So young, yet you dare to boast so shamelessly here?"
"Oh, so it's the esteemed physician Gou. Using the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus to cure fire poison is such a waste. Why not give it to me? I can cure the fire poison in thirty minutes." Li Se had heard of Gou Tai; he was a well-known old TCM doctor in the Jiangnan area, but his fame was only minor. His medical skills were probably similar to Yan Luo from Zhongcao Tang.
"Even I don't have the confidence to cure the fire poison. What ability do you have to cure it?" Gou Tai said with some annoyance.
Haolong suddenly said coldly, "Kid, are you kidding me? I've consulted many TCM doctors, and basically all of them have come to the same conclusion: to cure fire poison, only the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus can do it. For the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus in my hand, you claim you can cure my fire poison. Heh, do I look like an idiot?"
"Someone, capture him!"
As Haolong's voice fell, the black-clad men who had followed him all drew their guns, their muzzles all aimed at Li Se and Xu Qiang.
A hundred people could not threaten them, but these handguns were different. Even Xu Qiang became serious at this moment.
"Boss, it seems we're in trouble." However, Xu Qiang enjoyed this kind of life on the edge of danger. He used to do this before, and now working as a security guard for a TCM clinic, he was frankly bored to death.
Li Se frowned slightly, and the silver needles in his hand already appeared, but his expression remained as usual. "Haolong, the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus cannot cure your fire poison. Have you noticed that when you are tormented by the fire poison, you can also faintly feel a chilling aura?"
"How do you know?" Haolong was startled.
"That means you not only have fire poison in your body, but also a mild cold poison. These two poisons together create an ice and fire dual sensation. The Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus can indeed cure fire poison, but it will also worsen your cold poison. Therefore, your poison is incurable, but I can cure it!" Li Se said.
Haolong's expression truly changed this time. The main reason was that Li Se spoke so plausibly that he couldn't help but believe him a little.
"Dad, don't listen to him. Look at his age, how old is he? How can he be a divine doctor? Kill him!" Aotian shouted.
Gou Tai also nodded, "Master Long, please rest assured, I have thoroughly examined your body, and there is no cold poison. That is merely a slight chill you caught, which is very normal. As long as there is the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus, I am confident I can cure your fire poison. He just wants the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus. It's utterly laughable that he would say such things!"
Haolong felt that what Gou Tai said made sense. He looked at Li Se coldly, "Do you really think a few words can fool me? I suspect you were sent by that Nie Huacan, right? Heh, yesterday I snatched the Purple Leaf Celestial Lotus from him. It's his own fault for trying to compete with me for things. Competing with me, Haolong, is his fate. As for you, you won't be leaving this Haolong Clubhouse today!"
"Kill him!"
Following Haolong's order, those black-clad men opened fire.
Bang bang...
Several gunshots were heard.
Xu Qiang was already prepared and rolled towards a corner. However, his expression changed drastically the next second because Li Se hadn't moved an inch. With his understanding of Li Se, it wasn't difficult to dodge bullets with prior preparation, but what he didn't expect was that Li Se didn't dodge.
"How is this possible?"
At this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Haolong's eyes were wide open, because Li Se was actually catching a bullet between his index and middle fingers.
This was catching a bullet with bare hands.
Everyone was filled with shock, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Holy shit!" Haolong directly swore, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
