Chapter 242 Shura Field

Su Youling and Li Tingxi were both stunned for a moment. When they saw Old Master Yin standing at the door, being helped by Old Wei, their expressions were different.

“Mr. Yin, your uninvited visit is a sign of utter disrespect for me, Mr. Li.” Li Tingxi’s expression darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Old Master Yin snorted coldly, took two steps forward with his cane, and stood in front of Li Tingxi with his upright posture despite his old age. He held onto his cane with both hands, and his aura was not inferior.

He glanced at Su Youling, picked up his cane and tapped it twice on the ground, his voice firm and resounding: "Don't think that no one is backing up Su girl. She is my chosen successor. Anyone who dares to bully her will have to ask this old man if he will allow it!"

Seeing the two men's tense demeanor, Su Youling chuckled inwardly: Neither of them are good people.

If this were outside, she would have been thrilled if the two of them started fighting, but this was Su Hong's hospital room.

Su Youling immediately growled, "If you want to argue, go outside and argue. Don't bother my mom here."

The two immediately fell silent.

Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes and nodded towards the door towards Old Master Yin: "Mr. Yin, please."

The old man, feeling embarrassed, looked at Su Hong on the hospital bed, and when he turned to Su Youling, a hint of pleading crept into his eyes: "Su girl, could you let me... see your mother?"

Compared to the last time we met, he looked much more haggard, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, which showed that the illness had been taking a heavy toll on him.

Su Youling's eyes flickered slightly, and she inadvertently glanced at Li Tingxi beside her. Originally, she wanted to refuse, but she changed her mind and said indifferently, "I will only give you ten minutes. You must leave immediately when the time is up."

Grandpa Yin was overjoyed: "That's enough, that's enough."

Su Youling looked at Li Tingxi expressionlessly: "I can eat by myself, you can leave now."

The difference in treatment he received instantly turned Li Tingxi's face ashen. Before this, Su Youling had been very averse to and resistant to Old Master Yin getting close to Su Hong, which showed that in Su Youling's eyes, he was now even less than Old Master Yin.

The frustration and helplessness made him clench his fists, his protruding knuckles turning a startling bluish-white.

Ultimately unwilling to further strain their already tense relationship, Li Tingxi gave Su Youling a deep look before turning and leaving.

After everyone left, Su Youling returned to her cold demeanor towards Grandpa Yin, not allowing him to approach Su Hong's hospital bed at all, only letting him stand a meter away and watch.

Grandpa Yin looked utterly defeated, yet dared not cross the line. He could only stare blankly at Su Hong's gaunt face, tears streaming down his face in an instant, "Niannian..."

In his memory, Nian Nian was always a beautiful and innocent girl. But now, Su Hong looked just like any other ordinary woman worn down by life. She even looked much older than her actual age. Her former beauty was gone, which made him even more heartbroken and pained.

Seeing the mix of regret and reminiscence in his eyes, Su Youling scoffed. Men are just like that, he is, and so is Li Tingxi. What's the use of regretting after the mistake has been made? Their apologies are cheap and laughable, only good for themselves.

Grandpa Yin inquired about Su Hong's injuries with concern, but Su Youling only gave a perfunctory reply.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

I don't want to say more.

After calming down, Old Master Yin wiped away his tears. Knowing that Su Youling didn't have much time left for him, he immediately said seriously, "Su girl, I know you and your mother hate me. I don't expect you to forgive and accept me, but I genuinely admire you and sincerely want to help you."

Su Youling couldn't help but frown, thinking he was going to bring up the matter of her becoming the heir again. Just as she was about to refuse him bluntly, Old Master Yin's next words made her heart skip a beat.

“I can see your attitude towards Li Tingxi. If you want to escape from his control, I can help you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Yin walked up to her and handed her a slip of paper. "This has my contact information and address. I'm not forcing you to give me an answer right now. You can contact me anytime you want."

Su Youling couldn't help but be moved.

With Wei Ning and Li Mufeng now being held back by Li Tingxi, she has essentially lost her left and right arms, making escape even more difficult.

The olive branch extended by Old Master Yin at this moment was like sending charcoal in snowy weather; she was determined to break free from Li Tingxi's control no matter what.

Su Youling didn't even hesitate for a few seconds. She glanced at Grandpa Yin, silently took the note, and carefully put it away.

A smile immediately appeared on Old Master Yin's face. He looked at Su Hong several times with reluctance before leaving, turning back every few steps.

Su Youling knew he was hoping Su Hong would wake up, but she didn't soften her stance at all because of the note. One thing at a time, she wouldn't do anything to harm Su Hong without Su Hong's consent.

...

Qin He soon discovered that the driver who caused the accident was arranged by Shen Cong. However, he also made another important discovery: "President Li, didn't you tell me to send someone to keep an eye on the chairman's wife? The people I sent out said that the wife met with Shen Cong privately just two days ago. They don't know what they talked about, but I have obtained the surveillance footage from that time."

"Before this, Shen Congxian met with President Zhou of the Zhou Group. According to my investigation, Madam and this President Zhou also have private dealings."

Li Tingxi almost instantly figured out the intricacies of the situation, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "Compile the results of your investigation and send them to me. Also, make arrangements for me to personally visit this President Zhou. In addition, you should detain Shen Cong and his wife now and deal with them later. Then, immediately send Shen Xiyue abroad."

Li Tingxi set off immediately. After meeting President Zhou, he managed to extract all the details about Li's mother from him within half an hour. Then, without stopping, he rushed to the western suburbs horse farm, which Li's mother frequented.

The horse racing track was booked by Li's mother and several other wealthy women for their entertainment. In reality, these self-proclaimed dignified rich women rarely rode horses themselves; it was more about the exchange of benefits between their husbands.

Of course, entertainment is also available, and these wealthy women even have their own unique way of entertaining themselves: watching young and handsome equestrian coaches compete, and if they feel like it, they will place bets, with prizes for the winners.

Today, Li's mother was in a very good mood. The thought that Su Youling and Li Tingxi would soon be separated made her even happy. She even got on a horse and had the riding instructor lead her around for a lap, posing for photos with the rich ladies.

Just as she was enjoying herself to the point of forgetting herself, she suddenly saw Li Tingxi's cold and stern eyes, like those of a demon.
