Chapter 400 What respectable company would have such a lewd employee?

"Don't worry, once that person makes a move, he won't be able to escape." Li Tingxi didn't want Su Youhuo to be in a state of panic, which is why he hadn't told her about this.

But since I just promised to be honest with her from now on, I should make this clear to her so that Su Su can be mentally prepared.

Su Youling's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. "This time... those two assassins were after me. Could they have been sent by that person?"

On second thought—

"No! Very few people know that I am Su Youling now, and they are all on our side. Why would that person suddenly want to kill me?"

At least, before this incident, that person certainly didn't know about the connection between 'Rebecca' and 'Su Youling'.

Otherwise, she would have encountered far more than what she did before during her years abroad.

The methods used by these two killers were cruel and professional, and they did bear some resemblance to that meticulously planned kidnapping and murder case from years ago.

Li Tingxi had considered this possibility, his eyes darkening. "I will have Qin He investigate. If it really was that person who did it... he won't be able to escape."

He paused, hesitated for a moment, then said, "However..."

"What?" Su Youling looked over.

Meeting her dark, worried eyes, Li Tingxi smiled and reassured her, "It's nothing. I just wanted to say that no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

Actually, the person who really wanted to get rid of the kidnapping case back then wasn't Su Su, but him.

The explosion on that ship was aimed at him.

If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he would have perished along with everyone else on the ship.

but……

Since the other party is targeting Su Su this time, there's no need to bring up such old stories and make her worry.

He'll find out who it is, no matter who it is!

Li Tingxi tentatively suggested, "While you're in the country, let the Zhou brothers, Zhou Lang and Zhou Ming, accompany you. They have special training experience and are very good at handling emergencies."

Having experienced the discovery of the tracker, he was still shaken and worried that Su Youling would reject his proposal outright, so his heart was in his throat.

Su Youling suddenly flicked his forehead. "From now on, if you have any ideas, discuss them with me. Don't secretly put tracking devices on me anymore."

Li Tingxi was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You agreed?"

"A bodyguard who doesn't cost money, and a powerful figure who's so rare you couldn't find him even with a lantern, why not agree?" Su Youling thought for a moment, "The two of them are too conspicuous as bodyguards, and might arouse suspicion from others. Let them just pretend to be my assistants."

She thought of the traitor in the studio who hadn't been caught yet, and sneered, "I can also do a part-time job helping to catch ghosts."

"You can do whatever you want. I pay them a high annual salary." Li Tingxi loved seeing her so energetic. Before he knew it, he had snapped out of his gloomy and panicked state and his headache was gone.

"That Li..."

"Don't worry about her." After learning the inside story of Shen Xiyue's death, Su Youling had some wild guesses in her mind, but she couldn't confirm them now.

Perhaps Li Lihua's appearance can bring a new turning point.

“Even if she tries to cling to me, she can’t do anything to me,” Su Youling said calmly. “I’ve already done more than enough for her.”

Thinking about how the Shen family abandoned her the moment she was born, and then dragged her into their own fire pit when they needed her...

A complex mix of emotions flickered in Li Tingxi's eyes. Although Shen Cong and his wife had brought Su Su to him, it had also given them the worst possible start.

“If you hadn’t married me in place of Shen Xiyue in the first place…” Li Tingxi looked at her deeply and said, “If we had met in an ordinary way on an ordinary day, I would have been attracted to you at first sight, and then had a different beginning.”

"Because of my face?" Su Youling raised an eyebrow, her tone unfriendly.

“No, my attraction to you has never been because of your face.” Li Tingxi suddenly scratched his head awkwardly, like a young man experiencing his first love. “Although Li Mufeng is a frivolous person, he is right about one thing.”

"Back when I was dating Shen Xiyue, I was learning how to like someone every day. She was more like my experiment in love, helping me to become more like a normal person. It wasn't until I was with you that I slowly realized that you don't need to learn how to truly like someone."

"The first flutter of the heart is the beginning of loving someone; it's an innate instinct." He suppressed the emotions surging within him. "Unfortunately, it took me so many years to understand such a simple truth—Su Su, you were never a substitute for Shen Xiyue. I've always loved only you!"

Before Su Youling could even be shocked by his belated confession, she heard a sudden commotion outside the door, followed by Zhou Ming's cold voice, "Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Su Youling quickly pressed down on Li Tingxi's shoulder to stop him from moving. "I'll go take a look."

Open the door—

"How come it's you?" Su Youling looked at Karina's pale face, her gaze falling on the expensive lunchbox on the ground. "How did you get in?"

Inside were dishes that Li Tingxi loved to eat, spilled all over the floor, their steaming aroma wafting out, very tempting, but no one appreciated it.

Karina was like a poisoned zombie, showing no reaction for a long time.

“Madam, she has an accomplice. While my brother and I were changing shifts, she pulled a feint and sneaked over…” Zhou Ming looked at Karina warily. “She was eavesdropping at the door!”

Su Youling sized up the woman who looked like she had suffered a major blow, a strange light flashing in her eyes, "You..."

"What do you mean by eavesdropping?" Karina snapped out of her daze, the intense emotions that were about to overflow in her eyes suddenly vanishing. She calmly looked up at Su Youling. "Rebecca, no matter what, Li Tingxi is still the company's president. As an employee representative sent by Chairman Li, can't I come and see him?"

"Who gave you permission to visit me in the hospital?" Su Youling retorted sarcastically. "What respectable employee would be so lewd as to sneak up on the door and eavesdrop?"

"Tingxi has already woken up, yet you've kept it a complete secret from everyone, and even arranged so many bodyguards inside and out! What exactly are you up to?" Karina turned the tables, accusing him sharply, "Are you trying to take advantage of Tingxi's serious injuries to control him?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a vase shattering on the floor echoed through the room.

Su Youling subconsciously opened the door and went in, "Tingxi!"

"Tingxi, what's wrong with you?" Karina followed closely behind, only to be met with Li Tingxi's gloomy and terrifying gaze, as if he wanted to skin her alive. "Say what you just said again?"
