Lawless Gangster

Chapter 67

When Xiao Li was standing in the corridor, the care taker that Li Shi Qing had specifically hired to take care of him quickly rushed over to hand a pair of slippers to him.

"Mr. Xiao, can you take me into consideration for a moment? Even if you suddenly run off like that, at the least don't go out barefoot," said the middle-aged woman with her hair rolled up into a bun rather helplessly, "Mr. Li will blame me if you do this." "

"Sorry, Wu Jie." Xiao Li put on the slippers and warmly said, "I was in a rush this time. It won't happen again."

"Do not forget that you are a patient. Although the bullet did not hurt any nerves and no residues remained in your flesh, there's still a hole here — ah, Mr. Li." Wu Jie called out as she lifted her head.

Li Shi Qing nodded his head and walked toward him, but once he glanced down and noticed the bloodstain on Xiao Li's chest, his brows immediately twisted together into a frown, "I'll send you down."

With that said, he moved to walk ahead, however, Xiao Li remained rooted in place and whispered, "Qing Ye, I want to stay here and ask you clearly what's going on."

Li Shi Qing turned around and did not say anything for a moment while Xiao Li stubbornly looked at him without uttering anything either.

Looking between the two of them, Wu Jie simply took a step back and said, "I'll go down first to prepare Mr. Xiao's medication."

When her figure disappeared into the elevator at the end of the corridor, Xiao Li finally spoke again, "Qing Ye, you said you wouldn't hurt him."

Remaining silent, Li Shi Qing continued to stare straight at Xiao Li with eyes brewing with an impeding storm.

Xiao Li did not retreat as he returned the gaze and continued to say, "You said you would ensure his —"

Before the word 'safety' had a chance to come out, Li Shi Qing had already pushed Xiao Li against the wall. With his wound inadvertently struck, Xiao Li painfully sucked in a breath of cold air, but before he could even say anything, Li Shi held his chin and kissed him.

Xiao Li frowned and struggled to push him away but it was all in vain. Li Shi Qing had one hand holding his chin while the other hand ruthlessly pressed into the area around his wound causing the intense pain to run up Xiao Li's arm to the point that it started to involuntarily tremble. Even then, he still clenched his teeth, adamantly refusing Li Shi Qing's kiss.

A few moments later, Li Shi Qing finally removed his hand from Xiao Li's wound and released his lips, but it was instead replaced with stares that sought to judge his appearance.

With his face a deathly white, Xiao Li leaned on the wall and waited for the pain to subside. All the while, his black eyes firmly stared back at the man in front of him.

Li Shi Qing gently caressed the scar on his face, "There's no need for you to worry. I asked him here for something else."

After hearing those words, Xiao Li appeared even more unsettled, "For what?"

Li Shi Qing was silent for a moment before exerting more force on his finger against Xiao Li's cheek. Then, he slowly said, "Hasn't a week gone by already?"

"Yes," said Xiao Li in a low voice.

"Since you were injured, I didn't touch you. But, that does not mean the agreement is invalid." There was a hint of coldness in Li Shi Qing's voice as he spoke, "Leave the gang and don't get involve with anything that happens anymore."

Xiao Li frowned, "Qing Ye, I don't want to get involve with the gang's business. But, you can't promise me you won't touch Qi Xiu Yuan, then capture and bring him here like this. It doesn't matter what the reason is. You promised me so you must keep your words."
