Dao Ye never expected that it was Li Se causing trouble at the bar. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"So it's you," Li Se recognized Dao Ye. The Tiger Lord from before was this Dao Ye's subordinate. These Martial Alliance people were so arrogant, all calling themselves "Lord."
"Dao Ye, kill him!" the bald man exclaimed excitedly.
*Slap!*
The moment the bald man finished speaking, Dao Ye landed a fierce slap across his face.
"Dao Ye, why did you hit me?" the bald man asked, covering his face and sounding wronged.
Dao Ye roared, "This is Divine Doctor Li! He once cured our elder brother. Do you still need me to tell you why I hit you?"
*Boom!*
It was like a bolt from the blue.
The bald man knew the Martial Alliance leader wasn't in good health and had been cured by a divine doctor not long ago. But he never imagined it would be the person standing before him.
"Quickly kneel down and apologize!" Dao Ye commanded.
*Thump!*
The bald man knelt.
Even Sister Mei quickly followed suit and knelt.
This time, they had truly crossed paths with a formidable figure.
"Divine Doctor Li, it's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly," Dao Ye said, on the verge of tears. Why did his subordinates always provoke Li Se? If this got back to their leader, he was truly finished.
Li Se snorted, "Dao Ye, is it? Keep your subordinates in line. And these two women, I don't want to see them in Qingyun City again."
With that, Li Se left the bar with Chen Ping.
"Baldy, do you know what to do?" Dao Ye's eyes held a cold glint.
"I know!" the bald man nodded.
The two friends of Chen Ping, who were with her, had collapsed onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Just then, Boss Zhang emerged from a private room with great difficulty. His body was almost crippled, and his face was extremely grim. He was determined to make the young man who had just left pay a heavy price.
"Boss Zhang, save us..." The two women saw Boss Zhang and clutched at him as if he were a lifesaver.
Boss Zhang frowned.
"The Martial Alliance is handling this, and you dare to get involved?" the bald man threatened.
Boss Zhang immediately fell silent and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
The bald man called out to him.
"Brother Baldy, is there anything else?" Boss Zhang, already feeling unwell, was further annoyed at being stopped.
"Beat him!" the bald man seemed to guess something and ordered his subordinates to start beating.
"Ah..."
Soon, Boss Zhang's pig-like screams echoed.
Boss Zhang attributed everything that happened that day to Li Se.
Back home, Li Se poured Chen Ping a glass of water and said, "Drink some water, then go to bed quickly."
"Okay," Chen Ping nodded. After drinking, she looked at Li Se with a hint of confusion, "Cousin, what exactly do you do? Why was Dao Ye so afraid of you?"
"You don't need to ask. Also, don't mention anything that happened tonight," Li Se didn't want his mother to know, fearing she would think he was involved in criminal activities.
"Oh," Chen Ping replied, her mind already conjuring various scenarios.
The night passed without incident.
Li Se spent the entire night cultivating. Cultivation allowed him to forgo sleep, and he felt refreshed the next day.
As soon as he got up, his neighbor, the widow Zhang Aimin, came over to make breakfast. Knowing that Li Se's cousin was staying with them, she prepared enough for three people.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Chen Ping's voice was sweet.
"I like hearing 'sister-in-law'," Zhang Aimin said with a smile.
After breakfast, Zhang Aimin left for work. Li Se and Chen Ping went out together. Just as they reached the entrance, several people in uniform appeared.
"Someone reported that you caused trouble and provoked disturbances last night, even beating someone into the hospital. You need to come with us." The man in the lead showed his badge and spoke.
"Alright!" Li Se did not resist. He immediately thought of Boss Zhang.
"Cousin, I'll go with you." Chen Ping wanted to accompany him.
"You go to work. I can handle this," Li Se said with a smile.
Chen Ping, recalling Li Se's capabilities, didn't say any more.
Soon, Li Se was taken to the police station, and his belongings were confiscated.
In the interrogation room.
Li Se waited for a long time before a man in a police uniform calmly walked in.
"Name?" he asked, sitting opposite Li Se.
"Li Se!"
"Age."
"Twenty-two."
"Gender?"
"..."
These were all routine questions.
"Heh, do you know who the person you beat yesterday was?" the man sneered.
"No," Li Se replied, shaking his head.
"He's my brother-in-law," the man sneered.
Li Se glanced at the name tag on the officer's uniform: Zhao Kongkong.
"Now that you're in my hands, getting out won't be so simple," Zhao Kongkong said, throwing a confession form onto the table. "Sign and stamp your fingerprint on this. You won't be locked up for too long, just three years."
Li Se frowned. "What, is this Boss Zhang so influential that he wants to lock me up for three years?"
"Kid, all you can do is blame yourself for hitting someone you can't afford to offend," Zhao Kongkong sneered. "I advise you to sign and stamp it quickly, or you'll suffer physical pain."
"I want to make a phone call," Li Se intended to call Tian Anming. With him around, this matter could be easily resolved.
"Make a phone call?" Zhao Kongkong looked at Li Se with disdain. "Stop struggling. I've already investigated your background. With your status and connections, no one can save you. If you don't sign this confession today, you won't be leaving this interrogation room."
"What, you're going to resort to torture?" Li Se asked calmly.
"Of course not. I'm a good police officer, after all. But it's useless to deny it. My brother-in-law is still lying in the hospital. You can't escape this charge!" Zhao Kongkong said confidently.
He seemed certain that Li Se would go to jail.
Meanwhile.
Li Se's belongings had been cataloged. When a recording officer saw a Golden Imperial Physician Token among them, his brows furrowed. "Is this real or fake?"
Even though his status was ordinary, just a regular police officer, he knew about Imperial Physicians. They were renowned doctors from the capital who treated top leaders. He never imagined finding one on a young man.
Another officer leaned over and examined the Golden Imperial Physician Token, even weighing it in his hand. "Yo, it has some weight."
"It's engraved with Li Se's name, the person we arrested. Could he possibly be an Imperial Physician?" the first officer exclaimed in surprise.
"How could that be?" the officer beside him sneered, shaking his head. "What kind of status do Imperial Physicians have? They are exclusive doctors for top leaders. Have you ever seen an Imperial Physician in their twenties?"
"What a kid. He dared to forge a Golden Imperial Physician Token. It seems this kid is destined for jail!"
