The trouble with the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce naturally alerted many merchants in the capital. No one expected the currently flourishing Luo Bei to be arrested like this, and the evidence of his crimes was flying everywhere.
However, many people guessed that Luo Bei's arrest was likely because he had offended some powerful figure, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so sudden, without any warning.
With Luo Bei arrested, there were naturally no shortage of people wanting to devour the large cake that was the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce. Even Luo Bei's relatives wanted a piece. In short, the entire Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce was thrown into chaos.
Li Se left the subsequent matters to Zhao Ba and Old Fu. The Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce was now completely in disarray. If they couldn't completely annex it, they should at least annex a portion. If they didn't have the ability to do even that, then these two would have been wasting their time.
The next day, Li Se received a call from Xiao Feifei early in the morning. Seeing that it was only five o'clock, he felt a little depressed and couldn't help but say, "Miss Xiao, is something the matter?"
"Hurry up and come over!" Xiao Feifei said.
"My dear grandmother, what time is it? I don't have time!" Li Se hung up the phone directly.
"Se, who is it?" Su Mei's voice came.
"Some scoundrel." Li Se threw his phone aside and continued to sleep, holding Su Mei.
As a result, the phone rang again.
Li Se was speechless. This Xiao Feifei really had no sense of timing. Who would call so early? And with that attitude, he simply couldn't be bothered to answer and turned off his phone.
At this moment, in the Xiao family.
Xiao Feifei was stunned because Li Se had turned off his phone. She was so angry that she stamped her feet, her pretty little mouth continuously cursing, "You scoundrel, you damn man, how dare you turn off your phone? You're making this young lady furious!"
"Heh heh, Feifei, what's wrong?" At this moment, Xiao Tian walked over.
The Xiao family woke up very early. After all, they were all soldiers and had the habit of getting up early. Xiao Tian saw his daughter seemingly cursing someone and looking very angry, and he was immediately a little puzzled. Which young man had angered his little princess?
Xiao Tian was immediately interested because he had never seen his daughter so angry. Without thinking, he knew it must be about a man. He was also worried. When she was studying, she was quite reliable and never dated. Now that she was in her early twenties, she still hadn't brought a boyfriend home. As a father, he was naturally quite vexed.
"Dad, it's just that..." Xiao Feifei instinctively wanted to say something but quickly stopped herself.
"Who is it?" Xiao Tian asked curiously. "Tell Dad, I'll have someone teach him a lesson. How dare he make my darling daughter angry? Isn't that a scoundrel?"
"You also think he's a scoundrel?" Xiao Feifei's eyes lit up.
"Of course!" Xiao Tian said straightforwardly.
"Who is the scoundrel?" Xiao Zhanguo also happened to come over and overheard the father and daughter discussing who was the scoundrel.
"Grandpa!"
"Dad!"
Xiao Feifei and Xiao Tian both called out.
"Who were you just calling a scoundrel?" Xiao Zhanguo asked with great interest, especially concerning his precious granddaughter's affairs.
"Dad, some scoundrel has provoked our darling princess," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
"Who is it?" Xiao Zhanguo became interested.
"Grandpa, you also think he's a scoundrel, don't you?" Xiao Feifei asked.
"Yes, he's quite a scoundrel. How dare he anger you, Feifei? Bring him back to see me sometime. How dare he bully my precious granddaughter!" Xiao Zhanguo said, feigning anger.
"I knew it, he's a scoundrel," Xiao Feifei snorted.
"Then... Feifei, who exactly is it?" Xiao Zhanguo asked softly.
After talking about the scoundrel for so long, they still didn't know who it was.
"It's that Li Se," Xiao Feifei said with a cold snort.
Xiao Zhanguo and Xiao Tian almost choked. Li Se, the divine doctor Li? They were all stunned. When did this divine doctor Li get involved with Xiao Feifei?
Xiao Tian frowned slightly, "Feifei, you can't just say things like that. This divine doctor Li is an imperial physician. You can't speak carelessly."
"Dad, you just said he was a scoundrel too," Xiao Feifei said, furrowing her delicate brows.
Xiao Tian gave an awkward smile, "I didn't know who it was. This divine doctor Li healed your grandfather. You shouldn't speak nonsense."
"Feifei, why do you suddenly call divine doctor Li a scoundrel?" Xiao Zhanguo asked, confused.
"I called him, and he actually didn't answer. Now he's even turned off his phone!" Xiao Feifei was filled with anger whenever she brought this up.
Xiao Zhanguo and Xiao Tian exchanged a glance. "Alright, so it's because of this. I thought it was something important."
"Feifei, it's only a little past five. Divine doctor Li is probably still sleeping. You can wait until eight or nine o'clock to call him again, and remember, no more calling people scoundrels!" Xiao Zhanguo admonished.
"Oh," Xiao Feifei replied with a dejected "oh."
Time quickly passed to eight o'clock. Li Se had just turned on his phone when Xiao Feifei's call came in again.
Su Mei saw this and smiled, "Did you provoke some woman?"
Since Huang Shanshan, Zhang Aimin, and Su Mei were living in the villa, it was too crowded for four people to share one bed. They basically slept in separate rooms.
Today, Li Se happened to be sleeping in the same room as Su Mei, as it gave them a feeling of newlywed bliss.
"Uh..." Li Se didn't quite know how to explain.
"Oh, Xiao Feifei... could this be the one from the Xiao family?" Su Mei asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's the one from the Xiao family," Li Se said with a wry smile.
"You're really amazing. The Xiao family, the Tang family, and the Lin family all seem to have some connection with you," Su Mei said with a half-smile.
Li Se made a shushing gesture, "I didn't provoke them. Don't say anything you shouldn't."
"It's not impossible, but you have to satisfy me first," Su Mei said, propping her head up with her arm and lying on the bed, her eyes full of allure. She looked incredibly tempting.
Li Se couldn't resist for a moment. He put his phone aside and became intimate with Su Mei. After a passionate encounter, he finally had time to answer Xiao Feifei's call.
"You... why are you answering my call now? It's almost nine o'clock!" Xiao Feifei's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Miss Xiao, don't you need to sleep?" Li Se said helplessly.
"What time is it? Still sleeping?" Xiao Feifei said angrily.
Li Se thought for a moment and then chuckled, "That's true. After all, Miss Xiao is single and sleeping alone in an empty room. It must be quite lonely. How about this, you warm up the bed, and I'll come over to sleep."
"Who wants you to warm up the bed!" Xiao Feifei's pretty face turned red with anger. "You have to come today. Shao Zhiguo is bothering me again. Many people already know you're my boyfriend, so I have to bring you with me today!"
