Chapter 396 If I could just look at you one more time, I'd be a dog.

Before Li Tingxi woke up, Qin He told Han Li and the other man, who were exhausted from their journey, to rest for a while and organize their materials before coming back to report in the evening.

Seeing the dark circles under Qin He's eyes and the unconscious anxiety in his expression, Su Youling knew that he must not have been resting well recently. She found a nearby restaurant so that he and Li Mufeng could relax together and talk about the assassin's whereabouts.

The three of them ate and talked.

Qin He had indeed just received some inside information, which he originally planned to tell Su Youling when he came to City C. Now that he learned that Li Mufeng was also investigating on the internal network, they hit it off immediately.

"Just as you expected, it's related to the hotel's internal affairs." Qin He handed over a document containing a person's biography and photo. "This person is a senior executive at the airport hotel. Although he wasn't there on the night of the incident, I followed Miss Rebecca's tip and investigated from the inside, and sure enough, I found several temporary workers who shouldn't have been there at that time."

"Due to the recent art exhibitions, passenger traffic at City C airport has increased significantly, and the airport hotel is operating beyond capacity. Therefore, the hotel will temporarily hire some staff to help cope with the situation."

"There were ten temporary workers at the hotel that night, but not including the food delivery service. These customer-facing jobs are usually done by well-trained senior staff. However, the two temporary workers who kidnapped Rebecca that night, although they were wearing hotel uniforms and had temporary worker identification, were actually people who were supposed to start work the next day according to the schedule."

"In other words, there were 10 temporary workers registered that night, but there were actually 12 temporary workers. However, when the police went to investigate, all the information of the two temporary workers had disappeared. According to the information we have so far, the recruitment and review of this batch of temporary workers was handled by the senior executive listed in the information."

Li Mufeng and Su Youling exchanged a glance.

Murder is a serious crime that cannot be bribed with ordinary means.

Since he was already a senior hotel executive, why would this person risk cooperating with an assassin and doing something that would damage the hotel's reputation?

It's important to understand that if Su Youling had actually followed the assassin's original plan and 'committed suicide' by jumping off the hotel rooftop, the hotel's business would have plummeted, and it might not have been able to continue operating for a long time.

"This is the only clue for now, so let's follow it." Su Youling glanced at the man's photo. He looked to be in his forties, with a small mustache, somewhat cloudy eyes, and a face that looked like it had been drained of its kidneys by long-term indulgence in alcohol and sex.

Judging from the photos and information, this person is really unremarkable, with nothing particularly outrageous about him.

The group discussed some more details when Su Youling received a call from the hospital—Li Tingxi had woken up.

She just woke up and can only eat liquid food.

Su Youling had the restaurant prepare some liquid food in advance and packed it up to take directly back to the hospital. As soon as she entered the ward, she saw Li Tingxi looking anxiously at the door.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw her.

"Su Su!" Li Tingxi struggled to sit up, and Su Youling rushed over and said sternly, "Don't move around. You're covered in injuries, and your head is the most serious. You'll get a concussion if you're not careful."

She slowly rocked him up, supporting Li Tingxi's shoulders, and helped him sit up against the headboard before opening the lunchbox. "You just woke up, so you can't eat too much. Have something to eat first."

Li Tingxi looked so gentle and nonchalant that Li Mufeng, who followed him in, shook his head – men in love are hopeless.

However, he always remembered his persona and didn't know 'Rebecca' yet, so he deliberately walked over with feigned surprise, implying to Li Tingxi, "Aren't you going to introduce me? I saw online that you were in trouble, so I flew back immediately to see if you were alive or dead, and when I opened the door, I saw someone who looked just like her..."

"Stop pretending." As soon as Li Tingxi saw Li Mufeng, his face darkened, and his eyes pierced Li Mufeng's face like ice daggers. "If Su Su hadn't come back now, I would have torn your bones apart and thrown them into the sea to feed the sharks."

He's not stupid.

The fact that Su Su was able to fake her death so easily back then, without him noticing, means she must have had an inside man by his side.

Wei Ning's electronic information technology is indeed impressive, enabling him to cover up a lot of online information for Su Su. However, Li Mufeng is no pushover either. Moreover, he is backed by a large family and a powerful company, whose resources and information accessibility are far superior to Wei Ning's small workshop.

Su Su's plan could be kept secret for a while, but it couldn't possibly be kept secret from him for five whole years!

After Su Su's accident, he sent people to follow Wei Ning and monitor his every move, hoping to find out if Su Su was still alive.

The only thing he forgot was that Li Mufeng was by his side.

Without his help, Su Su wouldn't have been able to disappear so completely.

What's more, this guy had been coveting Susu all along, wanting to marry her.

"...I don't understand what you're saying." Li Mufeng chuckled dryly. Although he knew he would be exposed sooner or later, he didn't expect Li Tingxi to be so insightful despite his mental injury, exposing him to his face without any regard for their brotherhood. "Well, you just woke up, and your injuries seem quite serious, so you must rest well. I just came to see you, and I'm relieved to see you're still alive."

He couldn't withstand Li Tingxi's icy gaze. "Don't worry, I just talked to... Rebecca and Qin He. Leave those two assassins to me. I'll find them and bring them to justice as soon as possible. Just enjoy your new relationship and don't think about me."

Li Mufeng turned to run away, but Li Tingxi suddenly blurted out, "You'd better run fast if you want to. If you really don't like your current fiancée, your parents have arranged hundreds of blind dates for you. There's bound to be one that suits you."

Li Mufeng paused, turning his head in disbelief. "Could it be that you're the one who got my parents to find me so many weird blind dates again?"

Li Tingxi scoffed, "Is there anyone more bizarre on a blind date than you? I think this noble lady is quite good. She's a bit more assertive so she can keep you in check and stop you from chasing after other people's wives all the time."

He picked up his phone, fiddled with it for a moment, and gave Li Mufeng a slight smirk. "Hurry up and run, your fiancée is on her way. Be careful she catches up and breaks your legs!"

"Damn it! Li Tingxi, you have no martial ethics, you're not human! I came to see you out of kindness..." Li Mufeng was mentally broken and really wanted to take advantage of this old thief's inconvenience to beat him up.

Just as I was about to take action, the phone rang.

Upon seeing this, Li Mufeng's face turned green instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Li Tingxi, you're ruthless! If I ever look at you again, I'm a dog."

After saying that, he ran off in a flurry, as if being chased by a dog.

Qin He stood at the door, overjoyed.

After being tense for so many days, I suddenly relaxed.
