Lawless Gangster

Chapter 70

Li Shi Qing walked out of the room and instructed his subordinate to call the other leaders for a gather before he took Xiao Li down the stairs. Once they arrived in the room, the caretaker Wu Jie had already prepared everything needed to change Xiao Li's bandages.

Sitting on a sofa to the side, Li Shi Qing silently watched as Wu Jie helped change Xiao Li's bandage. All the while, his eyes lingered on Xiao Li's bare upper body, refusing to budge. As if it wasn't enough that he was staring, even the two bodyguards behind him also looked. Even though it did not carry the same intention, it was nonetheless, something that would make anyone uncomfortable.

After enduring the pain until Wu Jie was completely done with the bandages and ointment, Xiao Li wanted to put his shirt on.

But, just as Wu Jie was about to assist him, Li Shi Qing took one large step forward and grabbed the shirt first. He began to carefully drape the shirt over Xiao Li while telling Wu Jie to leave. Then he slowly said, "Don't move your left arm too much."

Xiao Li nodded.

Li Shi Qing wanted to help him button his shirt, but instead of doing so, he paused and lowered his head to kiss the pit of Xiao Li's stomach.

When Xiao Li caught sight of him staring at the bandage on the left side of his chest with eyes brimming with some unknown passion, he couldn't help but to faintly frown and turn his body to the other side as to avoid him.

"Qing Ye, I can do it myself."

Li Shi Qing simply gave him a glance, let out an 'okay' and said in a low voice, "Rest well. I will come and see again in a while."

With that said, he turned around to leave but Xiao Li called out to stop him, "Qing Ye, didn't you gather everyone to—"

"You don't have to go." Li Shi Qing answered, without turning around to look at him then walked out with the bodyguards.

Once he finished buttoning his shirt, Xiao Li wanted to light up a cigarette, but he could not find it even after having searched for a while. He walked around the room a few times only to end up at the window for a breather before he ended up staring down at the small alley way behind the Arc' de Triomphe.

Unable to hold back, he took a few steps walked to the door, intending to leave. However, there were already two people stationed outside the door. With just one glance, it was obvious that they were not bodyguards but instead newly recruited members—who looked rather bored, leaning against the wall. The moment, they caught sight of Xiao Li walking out, they nervously straightened up.

"Li Ge."

Xiao Li frowned as the rather tall member immediately explained, "Qing Ye sent us here to protect you. He said that since Li Ge is injured, a lot of things would be inconvenient for you to do so we have to help you run your errands. Li Ge, there is no need to be polite with us, if you need something, we can take care of it."

Xiao Li stood by the door, looked at him and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"I do." The shorter of the two said while fishing out a stick of cigarette from his pocket.

However, the taller member elbowed him and looked at Xiao Li with a smile instead, "Li Ge, what brand do you smoke? I'll go down and buy it for you."

Xiao Li simply said, "It doesn't matter." He closed the door and leaned against it.

The shorter man has already handed Xiao Li a couple of cigarettes before lighting one up for him.

Xiao Li took the lit cigarette from the shorter man, took a drag of it and asked, "I've never seen you two before. Who did you work for?"
