Chapter 50 Escape

Meanwhile, inside the sanatorium.

Su Youling pushed her mother in a wheelchair and greeted everyone at the sanatorium with grace and composure, then quietly led them to the back garden.

Wei Ning was already waiting at the back door, holding a computer in his arms.

He hacked into the surveillance system and overwrote the subsequent surveillance footage with the image of Su Youling pushing the wheelchair, making it impossible to tell that Su Youling had already left the sanatorium with others.

"Done!" Wei Ning suddenly looked at the main entrance's security camera, his expression changing. "A young man in a suit and tie led a lot of security guards into the sanatorium. Were they here to arrest you?"

Su Youling glanced at it and saw that it was Qin He.

It seems that Li Tingxi has already guessed her intention to leave, but why is he still not planning to let her go?

Does he expect her and Shen Xiyue to serve him like mirror images?

Su Youling was disgusted by her own imagination and said coldly, "Wei Ning, we must leave here immediately."

After a pause, she added, "Cutting off the nursing home's external communication signals will buy us some time."

Once Qin He discovers that she has left with her mother, he will definitely contact Li Tingxi immediately. Cutting off the signal could affect his subsequent actions.

Fortunately, Li Tingxi did not come to arrest her personally this time; otherwise, given his intelligence and methods, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.

Su Hong looked at her daughter with concern, and moved her lips, "Lingling, you and..."

"Mom, I'll explain later. I've found you a very skilled specialist. We're going to B City for treatment now, and we won't be coming back." Time was of the essence, so Su Youling could only offer a brief explanation. Fortunately, Su Hong trusted her completely and nodded obediently.

"Judging by this, your man has quite a bit of influence." Wei Ning clicked his tongue twice and pushed the wheelchair straight to the car the two had prepared.

A medical bed was placed in the back seat to minimize any potential harm to Su Hong's body.

Just as Su Youling was about to load the wheelchair into the car and put it away, the car suddenly made a noise.

The alarm beeped.

"What happened?" Su Youling comforted her startled mother and turned to ask Wei Ning.

"Wow, this sanatorium is really high-end, they even installed GPS trackers in the wheelchairs!" Wei Ning's car was specially modified so that it would sound an alarm as soon as an intruding network signal entered its territory, making it the best anti-tracking device.

“The wheelchair is no good.” Wei Ning glanced around, tossed the wheelchair into a nearby flowerbed, then quickly got into the car, stepped on the gas, and said, “Hold on tight! We’re leaving right now.”

Su Youling quickly helped Su Hong up and whispered to comfort her, "Mom, it's alright. I'll find you another hospital for surgery when we get to B City, and we'll never be separated again."

Su Hong grasped her cold little hand, noticing her tension and determination. Her gaze fell on the gauze on her face, and she hesitated to speak.

"This injury is nothing serious." Su Youling looked at Su Hong's reddened eyes and, afraid that she would overthink things, quickly said, "It's just that one of the employees in the company committed a crime and wanted revenge. But now that he's in jail, he won't be able to cause any more trouble. Besides, I've already resigned, so I won't encounter anything like this again."

"Mom just feels sorry for you. A girl's face is so important, you must take good care of it, you know?" Su Hong didn't ask any further questions.

Judging from her pale face, it was clear that her daughter had been having a hard time lately. Why would such a big company target her daughter specifically? Why was no one there to protect her?

That man treated her badly.

For the past three years, her illness has dragged on Su Youling and caused her daughter a lot of suffering!

As Wei Ning listened to the mother and daughter's tender words, his mind kept wandering to Qin He's image while he drove, and he couldn't help but...

He muttered to himself, "This person looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

Su Youling's ears twitched. She thought to herself that it was fortunate that she and Li Tingxi had always kept a low profile. Qin He only occasionally appeared at press conferences with Li Tingxi, which is why he was remembered by Wei Ning, a freak with an extraordinary memory.

After the sensational marriage proposal and subsequent media reports showcasing their loving relationship, Li Tingxi removed all of his wife's real-life information from the platform, citing the need to protect her privacy, once the publicity had been achieved.

After that, he almost never made public appearances, presumably in preparation for the current situation.

After all, she was just a substitute bride, and excessive exposure could have endless consequences. In recent years, the couple's low profile has gradually shifted the public's focus to their jewelry products rather than their relationship itself.

At this time, Qin He learned that Su Hong had been taken out for a walk by Su Youling. After checking the surveillance footage, he quickly discovered that the surveillance cameras had been tampered with and immediately ordered the entire sanatorium to be sealed off.

My first reaction was that I was relieved the lady was alright.

My second thought is that if President Li knew that Su Youling had run away with her adoptive mother, he would be furious.

The sanatorium's security system was completely disrupted and paralyzed, and Qin He could not find any surveillance information. Fortunately, the wheelchairs distributed to patients by the sanatorium had special tracking signals, which were originally intended for the safety of the patients, but this time they came in special use.

Qin He tracked the wheelchair signal to the back door and immediately led his men out. They found the wheelchair in the flower bushes and could only see the car's tail disappearing around the bend below the road.

"Oh no!" Qin He dared not imagine how furious Li Tingxi would be if he knew that Su Youling had taken Su Hong away right under his nose.

"Deploy all security personnel and immediately catch up with the car in front. Contact the people down the mountain and make sure they stop the car."

He led his men into the car and gave chase, while...

He tried calling Li Tingxi to ask for instructions on the next steps, but the call wouldn't go through.

The driver checked the car's navigation signal and found it was also malfunctioning. He frowned and said, "Assistant Qin, the signal network inside and outside the sanatorium has been destroyed. We're afraid we'll have to wait until we get down the mountain to be able to contact the outside world."

Qin He slammed down on the sofa, sighing bitterly, "Madam, you're going to kill me!"

...

Hospital, ICU ward.

Li Tingxi ultimately couldn't leave and opened the door to go inside.

Shen Xiyue opened her eyes, pulled off the gauze from her face, and realized that the tubes on her body were just for show. As soon as she got up, she scattered on the quilt.

"Did they believe it?" Shen Xiyue's appearance was still as gentle as water as it had been three years ago, but she was thinner than a yellow flower after being tormented by illness, like a summer flower swaying in the desolate autumn, having lost its vigorous vitality and looking as if it would wither at any moment.

She looked at Li Tingxi, smiled faintly, and suppressed her incessant coughing. "I hope I didn't mess up the performance, so I can at least help you this once."

"Hmm." In Li Tingxi's memory, the girl was always full of energy, charmingly holding his hand and dreaming about their future. She had the spoiled temper of a rich heiress, as well as the talent and pride of a genius designer.

Her submissive and conciliatory manner made Li Tingxi feel both unfamiliar with her and pitiful.

When he first saw her lying in the hospital bed with tears streaming down her face last night, he felt more of a sense of vengeful pleasure. But now, seeing her forced smile during the day, he was moved by her strength.

Li Tingxi looked at her and asked, "You helped me this time, what do you want?"

"Does our relationship have to become so estranged? Helping you is also making amends for myself." Shen Xiyue coughed sadly for a long time, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.
