Chapter 581 The Unspeakable Dilemma

Seeing her hurt expression, Shen Xiyue curled her lips smugly—this was exactly the scene she wanted to see.

She has nothing left now, and those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have shoes on.

To get revenge on Su Youling, you must take away everything she cares about and everything she's proud of, leaving her with nothing, reduced to a drowning dog, and subject to everyone's bullying.

Seeing that half of Rebecca's face was submerged in water in the video, Old Master Yin's eyes turned red with anxiety. "Chen Xiyue, I'll give you the Strange Kingdom, but stop right now! Don't hurt my daughter."

Shen Xiyue remained motionless, coldly staring at Su Youling. "What do you think?"

Su Youling gritted her teeth, grabbed Shen Xiyue's wrist, and said coldly, "I promise you, call her right now! Rebecca is your only bargaining chip, and her health can't withstand the slightest bit of abuse."

She said sternly, "If anything happens to her, it doesn't matter if you die, but wouldn't the person behind you have failed in his mission? How would he treat you and your daughter?"

Shen Xiyue felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and a flash of hatred crossed her eyes, but she had to admit that what she said was true—if something really happened to Rebecca, that sickly woman, their plan would be put on hold.

"At least you still have a conscience, you didn't just stand by and watch your friend die." Shen Xiyue sent a message, and the live stream finally changed.

The waterwheel has stopped.

Two people dressed in black carried Rebecca onto a stretcher.

Then the live stream ended.

“I need to speak to Rebecca. I need to make sure she’s still alive. Who knew this wasn’t a scene you created with AI?” Su Youling looked at Shen Xiyue. “Let me say a word to Rebecca.”

"Don't push your luck." Shen Xiyue shook off Su Youling's hand. "Who do you think you are? Even if you want to speak, it's not your place. Rebecca's biological father is still alive."

She walked behind Grandpa Yin, supporting herself on her wheelchair with one hand. "Don't worry, Grandpa, we'll wait for Rebecca..."

"As soon as I wake up, I'll arrange a video call for you all."

"Okay, video, I'll wait." Old Master Yin nodded, his face full of worry.

Shen Xiyue smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Su Youling and said, "As for you, don't just rush to make empty promises. Hurry up and go back to prepare. I want to see you at the airport first thing tomorrow morning."

"I will be going to Atlantis with Grandpa Yin in three days. I'm giving you three days, which should be enough for you to handle things in this strange foreign land and make a smooth handover."

Su Youling stared coldly at Shen Xiyue for a long while, and seeing her smugly shaking her phone, she said expressionlessly, "Do as you say."

“I can leave. But you must remember your promise and make sure Rebecca is safe, otherwise not only me, but the Ferro family will not let you off the hook.”

She gave Old Master Yin a deep look, then bent down and hugged him. "Take care, Rebecca will be alright. I won't let anything happen to her."

Old Master Yin's eyes flashed, but he remained unmoved by her attempt to protect him. "Hurry up and fulfill their demands so I can see Rebecca sooner."

"I will." Su Youling patted the old man's shoulder calmly, turned around and gave Shen Xiyue a cold look before walking out expressionlessly.

“Remember this—don’t tell anyone about this.” Shen Xiyue casually pushed the wheelchair up and hung a necklace around her neck, saying meaningfully, “I can access your information at any time, so don’t try to do anything underhanded. If you break your promise, don’t blame me for going back on my word.”

Su Youling glanced at the seemingly ordinary necklace, her expression tense. "I..."

"It's not you, how could you be so stupid?"

"You!" Before Shen Xiyue could retort, Su Youling had already strode away.

"Let's see how long you can be so arrogant." Shen Xiyue gritted her teeth and stomped her foot. In front of Grandpa Yin, she called Ye Qing and said, "I've succeeded on my end. Su Youling will fly to Atlanta first thing tomorrow morning. Now it's up to you to make the arrangements."

Ye Qing exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Su Youling, who seemed so strong, to be so easily manipulated by you this time?"

"As long as someone has a weakness, there's no one she can't handle," Shen Xiyue said disdainfully. "What's so great about her? She's only gotten this far by relying on men for help."

After hanging up the phone, she smiled and looked at Old Master Yin, "Sir, don't worry. I have no ill intentions towards Miss Rebecca. I just want to make Su Youling and Li Tingxi suffer. As long as you cooperate with me, I will return everything to you intact after it's done."

Old Master Yin expressionlessly brushed her fingers aside. "You'd better keep your word and take good care of my daughter, otherwise—"

"Don't worry, I've long heard of your legendary reputation back in the day. How could I dare to go against you?" Shen Xiyue flattered, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes.

at the same time.

Su Youling drove away from the restaurant, glancing discreetly at a corner not far away before leaving in a hurry, exuding an imposing aura.

Not far away, Zhou Lang followed. He was originally ordered to protect Su Youling, but seeing her leave in a hurry, he was planning to follow her.

Who knew that the next moment he saw a fleeting gesture in the restaurant mirror, and he stopped in his tracks—was the lady's gesture telling him to go to the southwest exit?

Why not just say it directly?

Zhou Lang's instinctive wariness instantly put him on alert, and he immediately rushed towards the southwest exit of the restaurant—

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

—This is a passageway reserved for the restaurant.

Only premium members can enter and exit using facial recognition.

Security is very tight in the area.

Unable to sneak in, Zhou Lang could only hide far away and keep an eye on the entrances and exits to avoid alerting the patrolling security guards.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he still didn't know why Su Youling had asked him to come here. Just as he was wondering if he had misunderstood, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and was immediately startled.

How could it be her?

When Su Youling got home, she saw Xingxing and Yueyue running over worriedly. "Mom, where did you go? You suddenly disappeared. We thought something had happened to you again!"

"Mom is fine." Su Youling said casually, her mind preoccupied. "I went to the hospital to visit a colleague. I left in a hurry and forgot to tell you. I'm so sorry, my darlings."

She glanced at the time, kissed her two children, and said, "Mommy still has work to do. Why don't you go see Grandma or go keep your brother company?"

The two little ones nodded obediently and watched Su Youling go to the study. They felt that their mother was acting a little strange, as if she had something on her mind.

After the two children went to Yangyang's room to express their concerns, Yangyang's expression changed slightly. She then pulled up the tracking information on her computer and asked, "Mom told you she just went to the hospital?"

Xingxing nodded. "Maybe they went to see Uncle Feng. My godmother said that Uncle Feng was injured while saving my mother."

"Why did Mom lie?" Yangyang looked at the tracking records in the app. Ever since Su Youling was kidnapped, he had been using this app to protect her, but he never expected it to come in handy here.

If it were just a regular meal, there would be no reason for Mom to lie to them.

Unless this meal is anything but ordinary, and contains unspeakable hardships and secrets.
