Chapter 48 Su Youling is his true bottom line

Qin He anxiously watched his hesitant expression and instantly understood what he was thinking. He quickly said, "President Li, everyone at the sanatorium is on our side, and Madam's mother is there. She will definitely go back. Besides, Madam is very understanding. As long as she knows why you didn't go to pick her up at the airport, she will understand you."

“I will go to the sanatorium immediately to take care of Ms. Su Hong. I will inform you as soon as I have any news about her. Your most important task now is to stop Li Qidong and prevent his evil scheme from succeeding.”

Li Tingxi clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged.

For the first time, he hated that he couldn't create clones of himself and couldn't keep Su Youling firmly in his grasp.

Rationally, he knew that the most important thing right now was to deal with Li Qidong, but a voice in his mind kept warning him in a panic—if he missed Su Youling again this time, it might be a loss forever.

“Mr. Li, if we don’t deal with Li Qidong, Madam will be in danger again.” Qin He’s words hit the nail on the head. Li Tingxi’s expression shifted, and he finally nodded. “Keep an eye on Su Hong! Find Su Youling as soon as possible.”

Qin He is right. Li Qidong is the culprit. He must help Su Youling avenge this before he is qualified to stand in front of her and explain everything.

All the suffering and crises she has endured so far seem to have been caused by him.

He should give Su Youling an explanation, and then bring her back under his wing and protect her properly.

"Go find Li Mufeng and tell him—the plan has been moved up!" Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze gleaming with an unprecedented chill. "Li Qidong has been acting arrogantly for so long; I'll make him pay the price!"

Qin He was startled, and hesitated to speak.

The so-called plan was an industry-shattering plan specifically tailored by Li Tingxi for Li Qidong.

In recent years, after Li Qidong established himself, he has become increasingly hostile towards Li Tingxi. Coupled with the old master Li's deliberate indulgence and Li Tingxi's indifference, his arrogance has been fueled, and he has begun to go crazy, thinking that he has long since surpassed Li Tingxi.

In reality, Li Tingxi never fights a battle he's not confident of winning. His unwillingness to confront Li Qidong head-on was simply because he looked down on Li Qidong's petty tricks. However, he secretly kept a close eye on Donglin Development's various illegal and irregular operations, keeping Li Qidong's every move firmly in his grasp.

Once it flares up, Li Qidong's years of hard work will be destroyed.

Because of Old Master Li's poor health, Li Tingxi had remained inactive all these years no matter how much Li Qidong provoked him. He only allowed Li Mufeng to register an overseas company, which he planned to use to "spar" with Donglin one day. But this time, Li Qidong took it upon himself to attack Su Youling, which made him abandon his previous principles and bottom line and completely enraged him.

Or rather, compared to Old Master Li, Su Youling is his true bottom line and principle.

"Understood, I'll contact Young Master Mu immediately." Qin He repeatedly assured him that he would be notified immediately if there was any news about Su Youling, and only then did Li Tingxi drive away to the private hospital.

The nominal legal representative of this hospital is actually Li's mother. In essence, it is one of the many industries invested in by Li Tingxi, existing independently of the Li Group, and everyone in it is his person.

So Li Qidong, accompanied by a group of paparazzi and directors of the Li Group, arrived at the hospital in a grand procession, only to find they couldn't even get through the entrance.

However, Li Qidong relied on his special status and the large number of people he had, and even when Li's mother brought people over, they seemed unable to resist him.

“My sister-in-law was kidnapped by thugs because of the Chenzhou factory incident. She’s in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance. The board of directors of the Li Group and the outside world are all very concerned about her safety.” Li Qidong looked down at her.

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

Li's mother said with disdain, "Why are you so guilty? Does your son and Shen Xiyue have some unspeakable secret?"

Li's mother clenched her fists secretly, feeling extremely nervous.

First, she knew too little about the mystery of Shen Xiyue's identity and dared not speak casually. Second, she did not know how much Li Qidong knew now and was worried that saying too much would cause trouble for Li Tingxi.

Li Qidong not only brought paparazzi but also board members, several of whom were old bastards who had opposed Li Tingxi's takeover of the Li Group but were later subdued and were now unwilling to submit. It was clear that he had come with ill intentions.

"Li Qidong, your father's life hangs in the balance in the hospital. Instead of being by his bedside, you, as his son, are here worrying about my daughter-in-law. Aren't you being a bit too nosy?" Li's mother took a deep breath, trying not to look weak in front of the camera, and subtly changed the subject. "Did you bring so many people here to visit him or to put pressure on him? Your father is just unconscious, not dead. Who gives you the right to bully us, a widow and her child?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of the mouths of several veteran directors twitched violently.

Can someone as deadly as Li Tingxi be considered an 'orphan'?

An older board member urged impatiently, "Qidong, why are you wasting your breath talking to her? If she hadn't seduced your father, your mother wouldn't have suffered from depression and taken her own life. Didn't you say you had evidence that Li Tingxi had deceived the public? Now, just release it in front of the media, and we'll all support you."

Mother Li panicked and glared fiercely at the old geezers.

Seeing their unwavering attitude, it was clear that it couldn't have been cultivated overnight; they must have long been in cahoots with Li Qidong, just waiting to deliver a fatal blow to Li Tingxi.

Li Tingxi is really foolish. How could he make such a big joke about his own marriage, making it known to everyone, only to find out in the end that it was a complete scam!

If Shen Xiyue's identity were to be made public, Li Tingxi's position would likely be in jeopardy.

"You give up. Tingxi has always acted with integrity. What could he possibly have to deceive everyone about?" Mother Li's lips trembled, and her eyes were red and swollen, making her look pitiful. "Li Qidong, everyone knows that you want to take advantage of your father's coma to seize the family property from Tingxi. Why not be open and aboveboard instead of making this baseless accusation?"

Her words immediately shifted public opinion to Li Tingxi's side. Indeed, if Li Qidong were to openly provoke Li Tingxi and his wife at this time without providing concrete evidence, it would be nothing more than baseless rumors and deceiving the public, ultimately backfiring.

The paparazzi silently pointed their cameras at Li Qidong. "Young Master Li, just tell us what you have on Li Tingxi, stop keeping us in suspense!"

Li Qidong curled his lips coldly and slowly produced an investigation report, which he then released to the public: "Director Shen was suddenly kidnapped by a traitor from the Chenzhou factory last night, and her whereabouts are unknown. However, Shen Xiyue appeared unwell in Li Tingxi's private hospital. I have reason to suspect that the Shen Xiyue lying there is not Li Tingxi's wife at all. The woman who has been affectionately marketed to Li Tingxi in front of everyone all these years is just someone who looks exactly like Shen Xiyue."

These words shocked the paparazzi and board members, who wondered if they had switched to the wrong melodramatic prime-time drama channel, as the plot was simply too surreal.

Mother Li's expression changed. "Are you kidding me! Tingxi and Yueyue have known and loved each other for so many years, and their love story has always been a topic of conversation. You don't need to resort to such a clumsy method to bring down Tingxi, do you?"

"Whether it's true or false, we'll find out once we go in." Li Qidong sneered and roughly pushed aside his mother who was blocking his way. "If it's not just one person, there will always be flaws to find."
