Chapter 395 Standing Up for Director Su
"Shh! Let's talk outside." Li Mufeng was afraid that Li Tingxi would hear their familiar tone and come to settle scores with him when he woke up, so he quickly pulled Su Youling outside the ward.
"Isn't he your precious son? He's kept me up all night for several nights in a row. I have to eat, drink, sleep, and relieve myself at your house. I can't even run away. Look at my bloodshot eyes and dark circles, look at my beard. It's ruining my handsome image. I'm afraid it will scare young girls when I go out."
"Come on, you're too old for that. Don't go around ruining young girls' lives. Don't your parents arrange eight hundred blind dates for you every day?" Su Youling joked. "If you looked like that, you wouldn't be so scared that you'd run away from your wedding."
Li Mufeng hasn't appeared for a long time.
It's said that his family is pressuring him, an older unmarried man, to go on blind dates, with a whole host of girls chasing after him. Not long ago, they even arranged a marriage for him with a noblewoman.
One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.
Before she could even beg for help, Li Mufeng came to her and was enslaved.
They're probably running away from their arranged marriage.
“Why don’t you just switch careers and become a fortune teller?” Li Mufeng said, lounging in a chair. “My parents arranged a marriage for me with a tigress. Good heavens, one punch from her could pin me down in bed and I wouldn’t be able to turn over… If I don’t run away from this marriage, I might never see the sun rise again.”
Su Youling teased, "Oh, you've already gotten into bed with him, and you're not going to take responsibility? You scumbag!"
"That scumbag is lying in there." Li Mufeng became serious. "How is he? He's been moved to a regular ward. He shouldn't die, right?"
“He’s alright now, it’s time to start looking for the killer.” Su Youling’s eyes darkened instantly. “Otherwise, we’ll never have peace.”
“You and Yangyang are truly mother and son; your words and glances are exactly the same. You’ve both been assimilated by Li Tingxi; it’s quite frightening. You’re no longer the adorable Director Su I used to like.” Li Mufeng joked for a few moments before getting to the point, “It’s so difficult to infiltrate the assassin organization, but investigating them is proving to be very challenging.”
"Yangyang and I were setting a trap, screening out most of the assassins, but we still haven't found them. So we thought we'd come over and come up with some key clues so we can find those two assassins as soon as possible." When he got down to business, his expression turned serious in an instant, and he really did have a bit of an aristocratic elite air about him.
Su Youling frowned, carefully recalling the kidnapping incident, and shook her head slightly. "They came too suddenly. I only had time to save myself. In addition, they were well disguised and did not leave any more clues. But Qin He and I guessed that the two people did not have time to escape from the hotel and were probably still hiding inside, or even with someone helping to cover for them."
So many days have passed, Qin He might have some clues.
"Don't rush, let me ask Qin He..." Before he finished speaking, the elevator at the end of the corridor suddenly opened, and Qin He walked over with two men in suits, looking hurried.
"Qin He?" Su Youling was surprised by his sudden appearance. "Did something happen at headquarters? Why did you come all of a sudden?"
"Chairman Li doesn't know the president has woken up yet, and he's been making some small moves... There are a few very important documents that require the president's personal approval." Qin He looked at Su Youling, then his gaze fell on Li Mufeng, somewhat surprised.
Su Youling explained, "He came to see Tingxi, but Tingxi has just been transferred to a regular ward and hasn't woken up yet. You'll have to wait a bit."
She didn't actually want Li Tingxi to start working as soon as he woke up, but seeing...

Seeing Qin He's anxious gaze, he didn't say much, but gently suggested, "The doctor said that Tingxi's brain was injured, and he has just regained consciousness. He can't overexert himself."
Qin He nodded, feeling quite gratified. "I understand. You've had a hard time these past few days, Miss Rebecca. Thank you for your hard work."
He was still more cautious in front of outsiders.
Before Su Youling revealed her identity, he naturally couldn't call her "Madam" in public anymore, as this could easily cause misunderstandings, especially since the three people present were all old acquaintances of Su Youling.
At this moment, a slightly rounded young man in a suit behind Qin He suddenly pushed up his glasses, took two steps forward, and looked at Su Youling in astonishment, "This is Rebecca?"
He cautiously tugged at Qin He, as if he were dreaming, and muttered, "Assistant Qin, she looks so much like the director, and her temperament is so similar too. I almost thought the director had come back."
Qin He coughed lightly, pulled out his sleeve, and gave him a warning look. "This is the president's current lover, the president of the Strange Kingdom—Rebecca. You all need to watch your words and not gossip."
After all, those two still have grudges against each other, and seeing these old friends might backfire.
Su Youling turned her gaze to the two people Qin He had brought, especially the man who had just spoken, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Who is this?"
She actually recognized her!
This is Xiao Han.
The designer she mentored in the design department was a kind and honest young man who followed her like a novice tagalong, but he was always the first to stand up for her when something happened.
It's been many years since I last saw him. It seems this simple-minded young man has made something of himself, as he's even able to come with Qin He to see Li Tingxi. His position must be quite high.
They're living a good life and have all gained quite a bit of weight.
Her demeanor has also become much more composed.
She didn't recognize him at first glance.
"Han Li, the vice president of the jewelry design department, is here to report the details to the president. This project is closely related to the jewelry branch." Qin He knew that Han Li had a good relationship with Su Youling in the past, so he only said a few words, but was much more perfunctory when introducing the other executive.
That person was just the head office manager, a senior executive promoted by Li Tingxi in recent years. He had dealt with Su Youling before, but not much.
"You are all talents that Tingxi values highly. He needs to rest and recuperate properly these days. There are many important and troublesome matters in the company, and we will need your help." Su Youling gave him a heads-up in advance, so that he would not treat Li Tingxi as a workaholic.
The group looked at each other and slowly nodded.
Han Li, in particular, felt very uncomfortable.
This Miss Rebecca really has the air of a hostess.
It seems that her relationship with the CEO is quite stable.
But whenever he sees that face, he can't help but think of Director Su—his mentor and leader in the workplace.
She was so young and so outstanding, and she had been with the CEO for so long. Just when she should have been enjoying her hardship, she died so inexplicably.
This woman only managed to gain the president's favor so quickly by using her face, which is just like Director Su's...
Although he knew it was wrong, he still couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of the director.
