Chapter 458 A Painful Price
Wenxi was completely unaware that the three little ones had already sold her out completely.
After lunch, after putting the three children to sleep, Su Youling went to the underground parking garage to talk to Zhou Lang about the assassin.
Zhou Lang's expression was extremely serious: "These people are not ordinary assassins listed on the assassin organization's website. I didn't even have time to stop them. They committed suicide the moment the mission failed."
Su Youling frowned, her eyes growing cold: "You mean, they are privately trained assassins?"
Zhou Lang nodded, took out a phone from his suit pocket with a screen so cracked it couldn't even be turned on, and handed it to her. "This phone was almost destroyed, but luckily I stopped it in time. However, I don't know if it can be repaired, and I'm not sure if there are any useful clues inside."
“Since it’s something that’s going to be destroyed, it must have some value,” Su Youling said, raising an eyebrow as she took it. “Don’t worry, Xingxing should be able to repair it.”
Not only that, Xingxing also gave her something very interesting last night. With this phone, it's only a matter of time before the mastermind behind it all is revealed.
Zhou Lang hesitated for a moment before speaking, his tone somewhat cautious: "Madam, should we inform President Li about this?"
"There's no need to tell him specifically; he'll find out when he wants to." Su Youling actually wanted to contact Li Tingxi immediately after the incident, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
It wasn't just because Li Tingxi had already gone abroad to arrest the old man and Li Qidong; even if he rushed back, it would be of no use and would only delay his work.
More importantly, Su Youling already had a vague idea of who was behind sending assassins to target the three children and Su Hong, and keeping Li Tingxi out of the picture was the best option at the moment.
It's certain that I feel uncomfortable.
Su Youling suppressed the complex emotions in her eyes and glanced at Zhou Lang indifferently, "Let Zhou Ming find a way to make amends after he recovers from his injuries."
Zhou Lang's tense expression instantly relaxed, and he said gratefully, "This time it was indeed A-Ming's dereliction of duty. Thank you, Madam, for still being willing to let him stay."
“Although everyone was only slightly injured and their lives were not in danger, with his strength, I think he should have done better,” Su Youling reminded him in a deep voice, “Remember, this is the last chance.”
Zhou Lang bowed his head in agreement, feeling a pang of sympathy.
This feeling of tightness in his scalp was exactly the same as the oppressive feeling that President Li gave him; indeed, two different kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed.
...
After Su Youling handed the phone to Xingxing, the little guy extracted crucial information from the phone in less than two hours: an unsigned call record with the domain hidden.
The timing was exactly two seconds after Li Tingxi boarded the plane.
This was no problem for Xingxing at all. He took out his laptop and worked on it for a while, finally managing to locate the anonymous contact's IP address.
He showed the computer screen to Su Youling, shrugged somewhat uninterestedly, and said, "This person's method of modifying the address of 'i' is too low-level. I didn't even use such an easily cracked method when I was learning programming."
Su Youling patted his head as a reward, her expression suddenly darkening when her gaze fell on the computer screen, but she wasn't too surprised.
The private hospital in City A is the very hospital where Li Tingxi arranged for Shen Xiyue to receive treatment.
Just how fearless must Shen Xiyue be to be so arrogant as to not even have...
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
So, he couldn't wait to make a move on Su Hong and her three children, who were far away in City C, after being discharged from the hospital?
It seems that her actions of using Li Lihua to test Shen Xiyue that day pushed her to the edge, which is why she resorted to retaliating against the people around her.
She's a mother herself, how could she be so cruel to such a young child?
But it's no wonder. A person who is so cruel as to kill his own mother can no longer be called a human being; he is clearly a beast who has lost his humanity!
Su Youling's eyes grew cold, and a hint of murderous aura unconsciously emanated from her.
Xingxing couldn't help but tug at her clothes, "Mommy, is it some kind of nasty bad person? I can help."
Su Youling snapped out of her daze, met his worried eyes, and, afraid of frightening him, bent down and hugged him to comfort him, saying, "It's okay, Mom has a way to solve it herself. I'll tell you when I need your help."
Xingxing noticed that she was in a bad mood and gently patted her back.
While Su Youling was touched by the heartwarming gesture, her hatred for Shen Xiyue intensified.
All her previous roundabout probing was only out of consideration for Li Tingxi; now, she could no longer tolerate it.
Her bottom line is her three children and Su Hong. No matter who it is, if they hurt them, she will retaliate tenfold!
So Shen Xiyue, you asked for this, and I will make you pay a terrible price!
...
At this time, Li Tingxi, who was in the country, along with Li Mufeng and Qin He, found a residence that Old Master Li and Li Qidong had secretly purchased in the country.
Fearing the people would escape, Li Mufeng and Qin He led their men to block all the entrances and exits of the villa.
When Li Tingxi led several of his men in, Old Master Li had just received the news and was preparing to flee.
Li Tingxi raised his hand, and two of his men immediately stepped forward, pressing down on the old man's shoulders from both sides and forcing him into a chair.
Being treated like this by his own son, Old Master Li was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Li Tingxi and started yelling, "Li Tingxi, have you gone too far? Don't forget that I'm your father!"
Li Tingxi glanced at him with a cold gaze, a sarcastic smile curving his lips. "Li Fengmin, do you really think I came here today to reminisce about this fake father-son relationship that's so easily exposed?"
Ignoring the old man's unpleasant expression, he turned his head and gestured to his men behind him: "Take men and search immediately. Don't miss any corner of this villa."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Li immediately became restless. He slammed his hands on the armrests of his chair, trying to get up, but was pressed back down by his two subordinates.
His chest heaved violently with rage, and he glared at Li Tingxi, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets. "You unfilial son! What exactly do you want to do?"
A group of men quickly split up and moved in different directions. Footsteps echoed throughout the villa, and the old man's temples throbbed.
"Wasn't Li Qidong's escape from prison orchestrated by you?" Li Tingxi looked at him with a half-smile, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "You're getting old, and you're so senile that you're capable of breaking the law. I was afraid of implicating the Li Group, so of course I had to be a law-abiding citizen and send the escaped prisoner back to the country!"
Old Master Li became agitated, spitting as he spoke: "You unfilial son, he's your own brother!"
"That beast doesn't deserve it! Of course, you don't deserve it either!" Li Tingxi's eyes turned sinister. He stepped forward, grabbed the old man's collar, and questioned him sharply, "I'm asking you, did you send someone to assassinate Rebecca?"
