Chapter 49 Ends the Farce
"Ouch!" Madam Li accidentally fell and twisted her ankle, but she didn't care. She was so anxious that she asked someone to stop Li Qidong. However, the more anxious she was, the more guilty she seemed. Everyone believed Li Qidong's story to some extent.
Regardless of Li Tingxi's reasons for hiring a woman who looks exactly like Shen Xiyue to act out a marketing campaign to promote Li's Jewelry's overseas market, once the truth is exposed, the more glorious the beginning of this marketing campaign, the more tragic its end will be.
With this in mind, the paparazzi and board members were all eager to make their move. They saw the imminent change in the Li Group and their eyes were filled with excitement. They rushed into the hospital with increasing urgency.
Suddenly, a luxury car sped towards them like it was on drugs, blaring its horn incessantly, scaring everyone into running to both sides while cursing incessantly.
"Do you even know how to drive? If you kill someone, won't you have to pay with your life?"
"What kind of lunatic drove a car with a pig's trotter? It scared the hell out of me!"
The grumbling crowd suddenly stopped when they saw Li Tingxi's cold and handsome face, as if they had swallowed a duck egg. They all took a step back in unison.
There was no other reason than Li Tingxi's expression was terrifying.
Like a demon crawling out of hell, always ready to wreak havoc.
Everyone was trembling with fear, but Li Qidong remained calm as he looked at Li Tingxi and said, "Finally, you've shown yourself?"
"You want to see Shen Xiyue?" Li Tingxi bent down to help his mother up, his face darkening with anger as he looked at her swollen ankle.
He turned around and, unexpectedly, kicked Li Qidong in the ankle in front of everyone. Even though Li Qidong had learned from his previous experience and was on guard, he still couldn't completely dodge the kick, and a piercing pain shot through his ankle.
His face contorted in pain. "Li Tingxi, how dare you commit violence in front of so many people!"
Li Tingxi looked down at him as if he were an ant. "I call this an eye for an eye."
"you!"

“Tingxi.” Li’s mother secretly grabbed Li Tingxi’s wrist and shook her head slightly. “I’m fine. You go and check on Yueyue first. She must be very scared after being kidnapped. She needs someone to be with her.”
Her eyes were filled with a strong message—Li Qidong must not be allowed to bring people to see Shen Xiyue, otherwise Li Tingxi would really suffer a serious blow today.
"Take Madam to have her foot injury checked first, then give the bill to Li Qidong." Li Tingxi didn't respond to her words, coldly handed his mother over to the medical staff, and coldly glanced at Li Qidong, "Even if you don't come to see her, once my wife wakes up, the police will call you to the police station for questioning in person."
"Li Tingxi, what does the kidnapping case have to do with me? Stop changing the subject!" Li Qidong's eyes flashed, not believing that Li Tingxi could find evidence so quickly to prove that the kidnapping case was related to him. At most, he had just given Sister Feng an address.
But these words gave everyone a new perspective, and the way they looked at Li Qidong changed.
Those present were all intelligent people, and the paparazzi immediately sensed an even bigger bombshell, eagerly asking, "Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? Is your wife's kidnapping related to Li Qidong?"
"You've brought up the police, does that mean you've already found evidence linking Li Qidong to the kidnapping case?"
"Is Li Qidong making this scene today to try and seize your family fortune?"
"Mr. Li, is your wife really Shen Xiyue? Does the woman that Li Qidong mentioned who looks exactly like Shen Xiyue really exist?"
"Words are useless, seeing is believing." Li Tingxi grabbed Li Qidong's arm and roughly dragged him into the hospital. They walked all the way to the ICU, and through the glass window, he looked at the man lying on the bed...
A woman whose body is covered in tubes.
Although she looked pale and thin, everything about her, from her hair color to the gauze on her face and the ring on her finger, was exactly the same as the Mrs. Li that everyone remembered.
Li Qidong forcefully shook off Li Tingxi's hand. "You think you can get away with hiding someone in the ICU? That gauze is definitely fake. She's not the injured Director Shen at all."
Li Tingxi was a few centimeters taller than him, and when he looked at him, he lowered his eyes, showing an overwhelming sense of superiority. "Li Qidong, you dare to touch her, you have crossed my bottom line!"
Li Qidong clenched his fist slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that there was something different about Li Tingxi in front of him.
In the past, no matter how much he provoked him, he always seemed indifferent and didn't care about anything. But now he has become aggressive.
While everyone was confused and didn't know who to believe, Xiao Han appeared outside the ICU with the police at some point.
Xiao Han glanced at the usually aloof board members, then fixed his gaze on the ICU bed, choking back tears as he said, "The boss was indeed kidnapped by thugs in Chenzhou and seriously injured, ending up in the ICU overnight. I called the police immediately after the incident, but the mastermind hasn't been caught yet. To avoid alerting the culprits, President Li kept quiet about it. I never expected that Young Master Li would use the information and time difference to slander President Li. He's so insidious."
He turned back and pressed Li Qidong with a burning gaze, "The news of the boss's kidnapping has not been revealed to the public until now. Only a few people around us know about it. May I ask how Young Master Li got the news in advance and how he was able to bring paparazzi and board members to cause trouble at the first opportunity?"
Li Qidong remained expressionless. "I have some old acquaintances at the factory in Chenzhou. I inadvertently revealed this information. Originally, I just wanted to ask Li Tingxi about my sister-in-law's safety..."
"Save that explanation for the police." Xiao Han

She glared at him resentfully, then whispered a few words to the police before being taken away.
Li Qidong asked incredulously, "On what grounds are you arresting me? You claim I'm involved in the kidnapping case, but what evidence do you have?"
No one answered him; his questions faded into the hospital.
Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that President Li was indeed more capable.
Although there was no concrete evidence that Li Qidong was involved in the kidnapping case, Li Mufeng had long since found evidence that Li Qidong had abused his position to commit illegal acts.
As long as there is a legitimate reason, the police can take the person away. Without Li Qidong as the backbone, this farce can end.
The group of directors and paparazzi, looking at each other in bewilderment, didn't dare to glance at Li Tingxi's gloomy face any longer. They shifted all the blame to Li Qidong and hurriedly took their leave.
Li Tingxi glanced at Xiao Han and said coldly, "Go and make sure those people are taken care of. Not a single word of what happened at the hospital today is to be leaked."
Xiao Han glanced worriedly at the woman in the ward, "But what about the boss...?"
"She's fine." Li Tingxi subtly blocked his view, and Xiao Han could only leave, turning back every few steps, a strange feeling lingering in his heart.
The eldest son in the hospital bed looked sick, but it was different from his previous simple weakness. It was as if he had suffered from some serious illness, and he was frighteningly pale.
Li Tingxi glanced at his phone, feeling unconsciously anxious.
Why haven't we received any news from Su Youling yet?
Didn't she go to the nursing home?
Just as he was about to go to the sanatorium, a heart-wrenching cough suddenly rang out in the ICU ward.
Li Tingxi paused, turning around to meet Shen Xiyue's tear-filled eyes...
