Chapter 388 The Love and Freedom He Gave

Wen Xi wanted to object, but seeing Su Youling's determined eyes, she could only bite her lip and glare fiercely at the innocent Qin He beside her.

None of the people who followed Li Tingxi were good.

Such a high-ranking assistant can't even handle a little bit of public opinion, and has to use her precious child as a scapegoat?

Qin He: "??"

What happened?

Did he offend his wife's best friend?

"Madam, do you have any suspects in mind about who harmed you this time?" Qin He didn't argue with Wen Xi, quickly pulling himself back to reality and reporting in a low voice, "The police and the hotel have been investigating one by one, but they haven't found any suspicious people. The two foreigners who took you away seem to have vanished into thin air."

Su Youling frowned. "They disguised themselves well, but their clothes and hats were definitely the uniform of hotel staff. Check the hotel's personnel transfer records for short periods. It's impossible for two living people like them to just disappear without a trace."

She quickly brainstormed.

Given Li Tingxi's methods, since he had time to arrange his 'afterlife,' he must have made even more thorough arrangements for arresting people, with all entrances and exits being controlled.

In such a short time, it's impossible for those two people to have run away silently.

Unless, they've gone 'invisible'.

“Since no abnormalities were found in the check of exits and main traffic routes…” Su Youling’s eyes flashed, and she exchanged a clear and wise look with Qin He. “Either they are still hiding their identities in the hotel, or they have a vested interest in the hotel itself.”

Qin He's expression darkened slightly. "Understood. I will begin to investigate."

He waved his hand, and two bodyguards followed him—strong and sturdy with serious expressions. Judging from their skills in dealing with the old man's bodyguard, they must be retired special forces soldiers.

"Zhou Ming and Zhou Lang are bodyguards personally selected by the president. They are very capable, have keen insight, and are very experienced." Qin He was still somewhat apprehensive when facing Su Youling now. After all, she was more independent and assertive than before, and he wondered if she could accept the president's arrangement.

After thinking about it, he still advised, "Since the other party..."

They're after you. They might have other plans. Having bodyguards with you will give you some peace of mind.

Su Youling raised an eyebrow. "Are you afraid I'll refuse?"

She accepted the person without hesitation, saying, "Don't worry, I'm more afraid of dying."

“That’s right,” Wen Xi gritted her teeth in anger, looking as if she wanted to draw her sword and fight the people who assassinated Su Youling. “If you die, wouldn’t it be painful for your loved ones and joyful for your enemies?”

Qin He breathed a sigh of relief.

...

He said he needed to get some rest.

But even with her eyes closed, Su Youling's mind was filled with the terrifying scenes on the rooftop, waking up each time covered in cold sweat.

Although the wounds on her arms and body were not as severe as Li Tingxi's, they were still painful enough to break bones. The pain was even more intense when she woke up, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It's hard to imagine how much pain Li Tingxi must be in right now.

Su Youling struggled to get out of bed, but the cot next to her was empty.

Judging from the time, Wenxi should have already left for the airport to pick someone up.

She slowly moved towards the door, intending to go to the ICU. As soon as she opened the door, she saw two door gods turn around, and she was startled when their eyes met.

"You..." Su Youling was stunned for a moment before she remembered that these were bodyguards arranged by Qin He. She hadn't thought of them at all.

“Madam.” Although Zhou Ming was a tall man with a cold and stern face, he was very thoughtful. “Do you want to go see President Li? I’ve asked Erlang to check on him every half hour, and the doctor’s monitoring data will be reported over in real time. President Li’s condition is currently stable.”

Zhou Lang seemed dissatisfied with the title, frowning slightly, but he didn't refute it in front of his employer.

"Thank you," Su Youling said. "I just wanted to go see him, anyway, I was sleeping..."

Not. "

Zhou Ming nodded, "Madam, I'll help you over there."

Su Youling didn't refuse, and after taking a couple of steps, she said, "Have you two not been sleeping at all?"

Zhou Ming seemed like a man of few words, but he answered every question with a gentle and considerate tone. “We take turns sleeping, so we won’t get tired. Besides, there are many bodyguards outside, so there won’t be any major danger outside the ward for the time being, and the intervals between shifts will be longer.”

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Youling didn't say anything more. Her throat had been hurting a lot, probably because she had been shouting and yelling in the wind on the rooftop. After resting for a while, it hurt even more than before, burning and stinging her throat.

I wonder if Li Tingxi will still recognize her voice when she talks to him now.

Su Youling stared at the person in the ICU without blinking for a long time. Before she knew it, her neck was stiff, and she groggily pinched her neck.

With that pinch, she pinched the necklace around her neck.

The thin chain had been worn for a long time and was barely noticeable, but then she suddenly remembered the surprise Li Tingxi had mentioned, so she quickly took it off, wanting to see what little secret was hidden inside.

The pendant of the necklace was indeed engraved with the words "love freedo".

Love and freedom.

At that moment, Su Youling gripped the necklace tightly, and suddenly couldn't help but want to shed tears.

He knew.

She used to love him, but he couldn't give her the love she wanted.

However, due to his stubbornness and domineering nature, and the impact of various reasons, she longed for freedom even more.

She even faked her death to escape the cage that Li Tingxi had built for her.

And now.

She convinced herself to forget her love for Li Tingxi, but Li Tingxi showed his love for her in his words and actions. His love came late, and it was both crazy and suffocating.

She struggled, she fought, but she failed.

She had resented and hated Li Tingxi more than once for his unwavering domineering and obstinate nature, who never considered her feelings.

Law.

It turns out that he had always understood and was trying his best to control himself—giving her the love she wanted and giving her as much freedom as he could.

He understands her and is willing to change little by little for her.

Perhaps, she should regain a little confidence for Li Tingxi's sake.

“This necklace…” Zhou Ming suddenly frowned, hesitating to speak.

Su Youling paused for a moment, then collected her thoughts, calmly looked up, and handed him the necklace. "Is there something wrong with the necklace?"

Zhou Lang, as expected of someone with professional training, quickly removed the pendant without damaging the necklace in the slightest. "There's a hidden, high-tech tracker installed inside."

Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the words on the pendant and realized that the necklace might have been a gift from her employer, and his expression became somewhat conflicted.

"President Li, he..."

It's probably out of worry.

This kind of behavior seems a bit perverted.

Even a normal person would be scared to some extent, right?

Su Youling was stunned for a long while, then gripped the pendant tightly and muttered a curse into the ward: "Li Tingxi, you liar!"

No wonder!

No wonder he was able to find himself on the rooftop so quickly and accurately, faster than the police and hotel staff.

Normally, if someone around you is kidnapped, everyone's reaction should be that the kidnapper has taken the person away and escaped.

Who would have thought that the kidnappers would take the person to the hotel rooftop to create the illusion of a suicide?

If Li Tingxi hadn't coincidentally installed the tracker in the necklace beforehand, she would probably be in grave danger this time.

Although I know that Li Tingxi is worried that something unexpected might happen to her after she goes to Atlanta that is beyond his control... but this guy!

Under the guise of 'freedom,' a hidden lock was placed on her.

They even dare to call it a 'surprise'!

No wonder he didn't let her see it in person back then; he was afraid he would feel guilty, right?
