Chapter 619 Trading Life for
"What he wants is to hide so that we won't discover him, thus cutting off our avenues for rescue and giving us time to negotiate."
Zhou Lang's mind raced through the map of the area, and he suddenly said, "There's a horse farm not far from here. According to the tracking device, Yangyang is hiding there right now."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Wen Xi hurriedly ran out. "Let's take some men and rush over there immediately to force Professor Richard to release them."
"Wait a minute." Su Youling turned off the computer, took out her phone and walked out. "I'll call Professor Richard to negotiate. Zhou Lang, you contact Li Tingxi... he knows what to do."
"Yes." Zhou Lang hurriedly walked out.
Wen Xi grabbed Su Youling and said, "You're not thinking of splitting up and going to the meeting alone, are you? If you're meeting Professor Richard, he won't let you bring bodyguards."
“I never planned to bring anyone.” Su Youling dialed Professor Richard’s number, her heart pounding with anxiety.
If he doesn't answer the phone, we can't proceed to the next step.
“Su Su, calm down. Since Professor Richard is so eager for revenge, Carlos must have shown him something. Otherwise, given the professor’s temperament, he wouldn’t be so extreme. If he saw Ye Qing fall off the ship that day, the person he hates the most is Li Tingxi. It’s no use you throwing your life away.”
"Shh!" As soon as Su Youling saw the call connect, she immediately signaled Zhou Ming to cover Wen Xi's mouth and take her aside, lest she ruin things if she got excited.
"Professor." Su Youling answered the phone, trying to remain calm. "Ye Qing died because of me. If you want revenge, come at me. Professor, you are a righteous person. Don't let Ye Qing ruin your lifelong medical beliefs."
Professor Richard's breathing faltered for a moment. "Say it again, you killed Qingqing?"
“She colluded with Shen Xiyue and tried to harm me and my child several times. I never intended to let her go.” Su Youling asked tentatively, “However, Ye Qing was so frightened that she accidentally fell off the ship. I don’t know what Carlos said to you, but he definitely had ill intentions.”
She paused, then said, "Professor, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see Shen Xiyue—back then, she and Ye Qing were on the same side, and no one knows better than Shen Xiyue, who is now sitting in a wheelchair, what kind of torture and retribution they suffered under Madam Ferro."
"You killed Qingqing, don't even think about denying it..." Professor Richard's breathing was a little unsteady. "Call that Shen Xiyue over, I have something to ask her face to face!"
Su Youling felt relieved and quickly said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't hurt Yangyang, I will personally bring Shen Xiyue to see you and let you know Ye Qing's last and most real experience before his death."
Just as he finished speaking, an unusual noise suddenly came from the other side, mixed with some whispers that no one else knew.
A short while later, Professor Richard's calm and composed voice rang out again on the other end of the phone: "Stop wasting your time with sweet talk. Shen Xiyue is no better than you, why should I believe you!"
Su Youling frowned, still trying to buy some time, "Professor..."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Professor Richard suddenly became agitated. "If you want your son to live, then you and Li Tingxi can wait in Qingqing's room. I'll make you pay with your lives."
The air fell into a deathly silence.

The old man's roar was so loud that even Zhou Ming and Wen Xi, who were standing not far away, could hear it clearly and shook their heads at Su Youling—this was a trap.
Whoever goes will die!
Who knows if Ye Qing's house is full of explosives?
“Okay!” Su Youling agreed without hesitation. “I’m at your house right now. Li Tingxi and I can both die, but you have to bring Yangyang here so we can see that he’s still alright.”
Professor Richard sneered and hung up the phone without saying a word.
"Su Su! Are you crazy? Doing what he says now is no different from throwing your life away!" Wen Xi gripped Su Youling's arm tightly, her face resolute. "I won't let you in. Who knows what kind of monsters are lurking in Ye Qing's room?"
"Even if it's the gates of hell, I have to go." Su Youling hugged Wen Xi without saying a word. "You should go help Li Tingxi..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xi's pupils dilated in shock. "Is this how you lure the tiger away from the mountain? Risking your own life? Didn't you ask Professor Richard to bring Yangyang here? Then you want us to secretly rescue Yangyang, aren't we just going to end up empty-handed?"
“He didn’t agree.” Su Youling’s eyes darkened. “The person who instigated Professor Richard was probably Carlos. Even if the professor wanted to let Yangyang off the hook, that person wouldn’t let it go.”
"Damn it!" Wen Xi almost ground her teeth to powder. After much deliberation, she could only agree with Su Youling's plan. "We'll go first. You must take care of yourself, otherwise not only will Li Tingxi go crazy, but the three little ones at home will also turn the world upside down."
Su Youling smiled, pushed the two out the door, and resolutely walked towards Ye Qing's room.
Surprisingly clean and bright inside, it was probably the only place filled with light in this gloomy and desolate house.
Every little ornament and every thoughtful design detail in the room is filled with the designer's deep love for the guests.
If Ye Qing hadn't been so wicked, she could have been enjoying her twilight years with the old man, living a life of happiness and contentment.
Professor Richard devoted his life to medical research, and his aesthetic sense was stereotypically straight-male; he simply didn't understand the romance that was imbued with so many subtle thoughts.
He put so much effort into decorating this bedroom, he must have spent a lot of time figuring out Ye Qing's preferences and preparing such a room full of affection.
“Qingqing said she would accompany me on a round-the-world trip after she finished her work. I was so happy that I specially had a room designed for her childhood dream. I wanted her to come back here and stay with me for a while after the round-the-world trip.” Professor Richard’s voice suddenly rang out at the door, full of sorrow and resentment. “All of this was about to come true. I could die in peace. But you have ruined it all.”
He strode in, gritted his teeth, and stood angrily in front of Su Youling, saying, "I went to great lengths to cure your son, but you cruelly killed my daughter! How could you do this to me?"
"Professor, Ye Qing, she..."
"No matter what she did wrong, your whole family is still alive and well, so you shouldn't have made my daughter pay with her life!" Professor Richard abruptly interrupted her explanation, his eyes suddenly turning bloodshot. "You all need someone to die to be happy, so why don't you take my life?"
Like a dying beast, upon seeing its natural enemy, it unleashed its last terrifying power with all its might, wishing it could devour everything around it.
