To Li Se, this Li Qingming wasn't even worth an interlude, nor could he affect his mood. However, he had basically gotten to know all the young generation of the Li family.
It wasn't surprising that Li Zhongfu thought so highly of him. The younger generation of the Li family could be described as one worse than the other!
Putting aside the younger generation, even someone like Li Shengguo, who was more than capable but lacked outstanding brilliance, might not have any problems managing the current Li family. However, he couldn't elevate the Li family to a higher position. It would already be considered good if he could maintain their current standing.
As for Li Shengmin, although he always stayed hidden in Li Shanjv, his ambition was actually quite significant. Yet, if he were to venture outside, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. He was likely skilled in internal strife, but his ambition far outmatched his actual strength.
Looking at the younger generation, the women didn't even need to be mentioned. Just considering Li Tian and Li Qingming, who were competing for the position of Li family patriarch, one was more useless than the other.
Originally, Li Se thought Li Tian was already quite useless, but he hadn't expected Li Qingming to be even worse than Li Tian.
However, Li Se had no interest in anything related to the Li family. If there was any interest, it was only in the old madam of the Li family. She had sent people to kill him, and he hadn't settled that score yet.
It was just that due to Li Shengjun and Li Zhongfu, Li Se couldn't directly confront her. But if it were investigated and found that the car accident involving his mother twenty years ago was related to this old madam, then he certainly wouldn't let it go.
As it stood, Li Se suspected that even if the old madam of the Li family wasn't responsible for his mother's death, she was likely involved in some way.
While Li Se was contemplating these matters, a woman walked towards him. It was none other than Tang Rou.
He hadn't seen this woman for some time. Upon seeing her again, Li Se noticed a hint of pitifulness in her eyes.
"Why haven't you come to find me?" Tang Rou asked.
Li Se was speechless. Come to find her? As expected, she was still acting out. He said calmly, "In a way, I'm your brother-in-law."
"Can't brother-in-law and sister-in-law be together?" Tang Rou was about to cling to him, but Li Se dodged her.
"Miss Tang, I've already made myself very clear. I don't like you, and I'm not interested in you," Li Se said bluntly.
Tang Rou's eyes welled up with tears. "Then what about what you did to me?"
"What did I do to you?" Li Se was bewildered. This Tang Rou was too clingy. It was normal for men to pursue women like this, but when did women become so persistent?
"What do you think?" Tang Rou looked resentful and wronged, appearing utterly pitiable.
Because of Tang Rou's words, many people were immediately drawn to them, pointing and whispering about Li Se.
"What a scumbag! He did it but won't take responsibility. How hateful! And he's with such a beautiful woman!"
"Why can this kind of man find such a beautiful girlfriend, while I can't?"
"What a waste! How can he abandon such a beautiful woman?"
"..."
Facing the voices of the surrounding crowd, Tang Rou even glanced at them and defended Li Se, "I believe he won't abandon me. Don't wrongly accuse him!"
Her words only made everyone curse Li Se even more fiercely.
Li Se, with his thick skin, was completely unfazed and turned to leave.
However, Tang Rou was unwilling to let Li Se go so easily and followed him all the way.
Suddenly, Li Se sensed something. He abruptly pulled Tang Rou aside, and two gunshots rang out.
"Someone's shooting?" Tang Rou exclaimed.
Li Se felt a sense of danger. He again rolled with Tang Rou towards another direction. This time, the attackers weren't just one or two, but many.
They were coming from almost all directions.
There's a saying: even the best martial arts are no match for guns.
Even though Li Se's combat prowess was already very high, facing assassins from all sides made it quite difficult to handle. The most troublesome thing was having a burden beside him.
No matter what, Tang Rou was Tang Xi's family, and he couldn't just abandon her here. If anything happened to her, Li Se would feel guilty.
But who sent these assassins this time?
Now that he had offended so many people, it wasn't just the old madam of the Li family who wanted him dead. It could also be the Xu family.
But that didn't seem right. The Xu family should have sought an explanation from the Li family. That's why the old lady of the Li family told Li Se to apologize to the Xu family within a day. Logically, the Xu family shouldn't be in such a hurry.
Most likely, it was still that old woman!
"Getting restless, are we?" Li Se said with a dark expression, leading Tang Rou to flee again. He picked up a few small stones from the ground and shot them out rapidly.
As these stones flew at high speed, even though the assassins reacted and tried to dodge, they were still a step too late. The stones hit them directly between the eyebrows.
Even with a fleeting glance, Li Se could accurately pinpoint the forehead area, delivering a fatal blow. This was the terrifying aspect of ancient martial artists.
He eliminated a few assassins instantly, but there were still many more. They kept changing positions and firing. After dealing with a few, Li Se didn't have extra time to observe and immediately led Tang Rou in a mad dash.
"Who are they? Are they trying to kill me?" Tang Rou's face was pale. She had never encountered such a situation since she was a child and was now somewhat stunned with fear.
Li Se didn't pay attention to Tang Rou. He led her on a frantic run, intending to quickly distance themselves from the assassins, but the gunfire behind them continued. Suddenly, a car crashed out from a corner.
While dodging bullets, Li Se couldn't react in time to avoid the car. But his reaction was undeniably fast. He immediately hugged Tang Rou and, with a turn, his back hit the front of the car.
With a bang, Li Se was thrown out and rolled several times on the ground.
The assassins chasing from behind quickly opened fire. Even at this point, Li Se could quickly get up from the ground and dodge the bullets.
"Ah... you... you were hit by the car!" Tang Rou screamed.
Li Se yelled, "Shut up!"
The driver of the car was stunned. How could this person be so ferocious? After being hit by his car, he could still dodge bullets. Was he even human?
However, as a professional assassin, he only paused for a moment before quickly slamming on the gas pedal again, steering the car towards Li Se.
Li Se punched the front windshield. With a bang, the front windshield shattered, and he grabbed the driver and used him as a shield. The bullets fired by the assassins behind him all hit the driver.
"Ah!" The driver cried out in pain and then died in the northwest.
