Chapter 460 Not even close to being decided yet
Upon hearing this, the old man felt a lump in his throat, then his whole body convulsed, and the next second he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground with a "pfft," splattering everywhere.
Qin He's eyes flickered slightly as he reminded Li Tingxi, "President Li, the person has fainted."
Li Tingxi frowned, released the old man with disdain, and said indifferently, "Arrange for someone to send him to the hospital. Just make sure he doesn't die."
His unhurried attitude made it seem as if he would remain unmoved even if the old man died right in front of him.
Qin He knew in his heart that Li Fengmin's power was completely gone.
After all, the wife and children are President Li's Achilles' heel; whoever touches them will be in trouble. President Li is digging his own grave.
After leaving the villa, Li Tingxi had no mind to investigate Li Qidong's whereabouts.
He now desperately wants to return to Su Youling and the children.
His main purpose in coming to the country was to investigate the mysterious organization that orchestrated the kidnapping case years ago.
If he goes back like this, he won't be able to feel at ease until this potential problem is eliminated.
Just as Li Tingxi was hesitating, Li Mufeng, looking rather grim, got into the car and exhaled a breath of stale air: "I've found something. The timeline and clues Tiger provided are all fake. The assassination definitely has nothing to do with the old man. As for that mysterious organization and the mastermind behind it..."
He paused, turned his head, and said with a serious expression, "It's a smokescreen deliberately put out by someone. The people below have already scouted the area, and the address doesn't match at all. All the follow-up clues have also been cut off. And Aunt Su and the three children just happened to be attacked at this time. What do you think?"
Li Tingxi's eyes instantly turned icy, and his hands on his knees tightened, his knuckles turning bluish-white.
The rapidly building anger surged within him, yet he could find no outlet for it.
What else can we think? Putting these two things together, the truth is already laid bare before us.
The person behind this deliberately lured him away, and then took the opportunity to arrange for someone to harm Su Hong and the three children, so that he would be unable to reach them.
In other words, even if the person who sent the assassins to kill Su Hong and her three children wasn't the mysterious mastermind who had repeatedly targeted him five years ago, they must have had an inseparable connection with this person or some organization.
This is a significant clue, so the most urgent task is to get back to Su Youling and the children.
"Return to China immediately!" Li Tingxi didn't hesitate for a moment.
As for Li Qidong, he left people to keep an eye on the old man, figuring he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
At Li Tingxi's command, Qin He seemed even more eager than him, "President Li, I've checked the latest flights, we can make it to the airport in time."
Seeing this, Li Mufeng raised an eyebrow, exchanged a meaningful glance with Li Tingxi, and deliberately said, "I heard that Yao Ruo also went to City C. I wonder what she's doing there."
Qin He, in the passenger seat, coughed awkwardly twice. "She's been spending more time with Madam lately."
Li Mufeng wasn't going to let him get away with it so easily: "I don't think it's that simple, do I?"
Thinking about seeing Su Youling and the three children soon, Li Tingxi was in the mood to joke and tease Qin He: "It seems this girl is more concerned about your lifelong happiness than you are. So, how far have you and Wen Xi gotten?"
Qin He blushed instantly, and stammered, "President Li, please don't joke with me. It's not even close to being a done deal yet."

However, he said, "That means you haven't caught up with her yet, so you'd better work harder."
...
Half an hour later, we arrived at the airport without any problems.
Li Tingxi called Su Youling to ask for her opinion: "Su Su, I already know about Yangyang and the others being injured. I'm preparing to return to China now. Could you please tell Yangyang? I'd like to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Youling on the other end of the phone coldly refused, "Yangyang doesn't want to see you. The three children are all doing well now, so you don't need to make a special trip to City C."
Even over the phone, I could sense that something was wrong with her.
Li Tingxi was speechless for a moment, unable to understand why she was so angry.
Since the two reconciled, Su Youling has always been kind and gentle to him, and the two have never even argued. Now, this attitude makes him feel as if all the warmth and sweetness he has experienced recently is just a figment of his imagination.
He took the initiative to back down: "Susu, where are you now? I can't see the child, but I can see you, right?"
However, Su Youling remained unmoved: "I'm going back to City A, and I don't really want to see you anytime soon. Besides, if you insist on seeing your darlings, I think we won't be able to meet for a long time to come."
This is a blatant threat.
Li Tingxi felt a headache coming on. If the anger was directed at him because of Su Hong and the three children's injuries, he should at least be given a chance to make amends.
However, Su Youling didn't give him a chance to speak again and hung up the phone directly.
Seeing that his expression was not good, Li Mufeng and Qin He did not know what Su Youling had said on the other end of the phone.
Qin He cautiously probed, "President Li, shall we still go to City C?"
Li Tingxi hesitated for a moment, and then Karina's call came in.
On the other end of the phone, Karina's breathing was rapid and tight, her voice trembling with sobs: "Tingxi, I just took Lele home from the hospital today, and someone followed us to our house. The people you left behind chased them away. But Lele is injured now, and I'm so scared. I'm afraid someone else will come looking for us, but I don't dare take Lele to the hospital. I really don't know what to do."
By the end, her voice was trembling, and she began to repeat the same sentence in a somewhat neurotic manner: "Tingxi, help me, save Lele."
Li Tingxi's heart sank; his intuition told him it was that mysterious mastermind behind it all.
First they targeted Su Hong and Yangyang, and now they've sent people to attack Karina and Lele. It's clearly a deliberate provocation!
"Karina, don't panic," Li Tingxi said, a shadow falling over his eyes. "I'll send people over to protect you right now."
After hanging up the phone, he changed his plans and said, "Qin He, arrange for someone to go to Karina's house immediately to protect her and Lele. Make sure they are both safe. Also, we'll split up. Qin He, you and Li Mufeng go to City C, and I'll take Zhou Lang and head to City A immediately."
Although Su Youling disagreed with his going to City C, he was also worried about the children, so sending Qin He and Li Mufeng to protect them was undoubtedly the best choice.
He knew that Su Youling must have something very important to do, since she went to City A alone at this critical moment when Su Hong and the children were in trouble, and this matter was very likely related to the assassination.
He couldn't just watch her take the risk alone, especially since Karina and Lele had also gotten into trouble.
In any case, this time he couldn't let either Su Youling or Karina get hurt again.
