“I’ll send someone over right away. This group of people should all have outstanding murder cases!” Tian Anming said quickly.
Not long after, the police arrived and took away the skinny man. After investigation, it turned out that these people indeed had outstanding murder cases, and not just one or two.
Li Se drove away from the scene, but his eyes carried a chill. This Yao Jingtai not only wanted to capture him but also to cripple him. The skinny man’s attack just now was clearly aimed at incapacitating him.
If he were an ordinary person, he would now be being carried to see Yao Jingtai.
“Well done, Yao Jingtai!” Li Se’s eyes grew cold. This reminded him of Shen Long back then, but even Shen Long hadn’t been as ruthless as Yao Jingtai.
At this moment, his phone rang.
Li Se glanced at it. It was an unknown number, but he vaguely guessed who it was. Upon answering, a familiar voice came from the other end. It was Zhang Ruishan: “You’re quite capable. But I advise you to come over obediently, or you’ll only bring more trouble upon yourself!”
After saying this, Zhang Ruishan hung up.
A threat? This was an outright threat.
Li Se tossed his phone aside, as if he hadn’t heard it, and then drove to the Wei family’s residence.
It had been a while since he last saw Wei Laosan. The reason for his visit was to see how Wei Laosan’s recovery was going after this period.
“Brother Li, you haven’t visited me in a long time,” Wei Laosan said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Elder Wei, I’ve been quite busy lately,” Li Se said sheepishly. After all, Wei Laosan had helped him a lot, and he had truly forgotten about him during this time.
“You scoundrel, my granddaughter has been thinking about you for a long time. Now that you’re here, don’t think about leaving so easily!” Wei Laosan grunted.
Li Se was somewhat speechless. What did his granddaughter have to do with this?
“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Wei Xueru said shyly.
Li Se hadn’t seen Wei Xueru for a while. Seeing her again today, he found it hard to look away. Wei Xueru usually preferred casual wear, but even so, she exuded an air of nobility and elegance that was captivating.
Meeting such a woman with such charm, most men who weren’t outstanding would hesitate to pursue her, or even dare to look directly at her.
“Elder Wei, let me take your pulse,” Li Se quickly changed the subject. The main reason was that he already had too many women, and if he got involved with Wei Xueru, he would be deeply indebted in terms of emotional ties.
After taking her pulse, Li Se smiled and said, “Elder Wei, you’re basically out of danger.”
“That’s all thanks to your excellent medical skills, healing my illness so quickly,” Wei Laosan said with emotion.
“Then… if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now?” Li Se had a feeling that Wei Laosan wanted to introduce his granddaughter to him, and he was a little apprehensive.
“You’re leaving in such a hurry?” Wei Laosan wouldn’t let Li Se leave so easily. “You don’t know, my granddaughter has really been thinking about you during this time, but she just couldn’t find a good reason to see you.”
“Grandpa!” Wei Xueru’s face turned even redder.
“Uh…” Li Se looked at Wei Xueru with a peculiar expression, naturally feeling a stir of emotion.
Wei Laosan’s eyes rolled, and he said to Wei Xueru, “Xueru, go get the precious tea you’ve been storing for years. I want to entertain Brother Li properly.”
“Okay!” Wei Xueru nodded and went to get the tea.
Li Se, being a perceptive person, immediately realized that Wei Laosan intended to excuse Wei Xueru. He then asked, “Elder Wei, is there something you want to tell me in private?”
“You’re quite clever, young man. I do have something to say to you.”
Wei Laosan smiled, then his smile faded as he spoke very seriously, “What do you think of my granddaughter?”
Li Se pondered for a moment and replied, “She’s very beautiful, has a great figure, and a good personality. An excellent person.”
“Then how about I betroth her to you?” Wei Laosan proposed.
Li Se quickly waved his hands, “Elder Wei, this is not appropriate. I already have a girlfriend.”
“What’s the big deal? She’s not married yet, so it’s all unknown,” Wei Laosan said nonchalantly.
“Elder Wei, I love my current girlfriend very much,” Li Se said earnestly.
Wei Laosan hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’ve never looked for a partner for Xueru before. You’re the first. I’m serious, you should think about it carefully!”
“Elder Wei, I’m also serious,” Li Se said with a hint of helplessness. He didn’t know what luck he’d had lately, but everyone seemed to want to introduce their granddaughters to him. Moreover, he already had quite a few women around him.
“You scoundrel, my granddaughter is so outstanding, and you feel wronged?” Wei Laosan said with dissatisfaction.
Li Se replied, “Elder Wei, let’s let things happen naturally. Besides, if you want to betroth Xueru to me, she might not be willing.”
“Her thoughts… forget it, forget it. You young people should sort out your own matters.” Wei Laosan decided to stop intervening.
At this moment, Wei Xueru returned with the tea and poured it for them.
Wei Laosan took a sip of tea and said, “Brother Li, there’s a gathering today. Come with me.”
“Elder Wei, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Li Se hesitated. The fact that Wei Laosan himself was attending this gathering indicated how formidable it must be. Furthermore, it was definitely not a gathering for the younger generation; the second-generation rich would likely not even dare to speak at such an event.
“It’s fine. There will be many people you know at the gathering, and you also understand feng shui. I can introduce you to someone,” Wei Laosan said.
“Alright then,” Li Se agreed.
Meanwhile, Wei Xueru’s delicate face turned slightly flushed, and she also appeared happy, glancing at Li Se from the corner of her eye from time to time.
At the same time.
In the Clear Water Bay villa.
“All useless!” Yao Jingtai was somewhat enraged. He had sent people to bring Li Se over, but they had all failed, which greatly displeased him.
“Boss, that Li Se has some connections,” Zhang Ruishan’s expression was also grim. He truly hadn’t expected their attempt to capture Li Se to fail. He had thought the skinny man would have carried Li Se over.
“Boss, do we need to find another group of experts, and those with firearms!” Zhang Ruishan’s face showed malice.
Yao Jingtai glanced at Zhang Ruishan, his gaze seeming to pierce through Zhang Ruishan. Then, he waved his hand, “No need. You come with me to a gathering. All the top figures in Qingyun City will be there. We’ll find someone to step forward then. I don’t believe I can’t even invite a mere Li Se!”
