Chapter 523 Variables
Su Youling felt a little dizzy and unsteady on her feet, so she had to borrow strength several times when she was holding Yueyue.
Unexpectedly, her son was so considerate. Su Youling felt a surge of warmth in her heart and smiled at him, "It's okay, Mommy can carry you."
Yueyue has been attached to her since she was little, so you can imagine how worried she was when the accident happened. The little girl needs comfort right now, so it doesn't matter if she's a little tired.
However, Yueyue, reminded by Yangyang, showed remorse and quickly climbed off Su Youling.
“Mom, I’m sorry,” Yueyue said, holding Su Youling’s hand and helping Yangyang and Xingxing to sit down on the sofa. “Mom, are you lying to us? Your face looks so pale.”
Not wanting them to worry, Su Youling rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs to show them that she was not injured. "Mom is really not hurt. Uncle Li arrested the bad guy before he could hurt Mom."
She brushed off the matter of being drugged with a single sentence.
Yueyue was unaware, but Xingxing and Yangyang knew that the drug could damage brain nerves.
Xingxing clenched her little fists instantly. She was squatting at Su Youling's feet, but she jumped up and said angrily, "Where is that bad guy now? I'm going to beat him up and avenge Mommy!"
Yueyue, who was lying on Su Youling's lap, also raised her head and clenched her little fists to agree with him: "Yes, Xingxing is so powerful, we must beat him until he's crawling on the ground looking for his teeth!"
Su Youling was both amused and exasperated, but she was genuinely touched by the two little ones' innocent words. So she hugged Yueyue and Xingxing tightly on either side, and then reached out to pull Yangyang over, saying, "You're still too young to fight bad guys head-on. When you grow up, you'll be able to protect Mommy."
Yangyang stared at her intently, then suddenly blurted out, "Like Uncle Li, protect Mommy?"
Su Youling paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Our Yangyang might be even more amazing than Uncle Li when he grows up."
Yangyang pursed his lips, his expression becoming serious and determined: "Mom, after I get better, I'll ask Xingxing to teach me martial arts, and we'll protect you together in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xingxing immediately agreed: "Yes, when we grow up to be strong men like Uncle Li, we will definitely protect Mom."
Su Youling couldn't stop smiling; her heart was incredibly soft.
Seeing that her two older brothers had said so, Yueyue was not to be outdone. She imitated Xingxing's usual boxing movements in the air and said indignantly, "Yueyue can do it too."
Xingxing reached out and gently pinched her little nose, bluntly exposing her: "I don't know which little idiot said that boxing would make her whole body smelly, and she has no patience. I taught her a couple of moves and she started to whine that she was tired and didn't want to learn anymore."
Yueyue's face instantly turned bright red. She glanced guiltily at Su Youling, shook her head frantically, and denied it outright: "It's definitely not Yueyue!"
Su Youling couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing that the little girl's face was so red it was almost bleeding, she quickly tried to cover for her: "Mom knows it definitely won't be our little princess Yueyue."
Yangyang's eyes also held a faint smile as he teased, "If Yueyue can really stick to practicing boxing, she won't be Princess Yueyue anymore, she'll be the 'King Kong Barbie Princess'."
Su Youling and Xingxing both broke down in laughter, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

It's almost out.
Enraged, Yueyue dared not touch Yangyang, so she chased after the "culprit" all over the hall, yelling, "You stinky star, you're so annoying!"
Su Youling smiled as she watched the two children laughing and playing happily. Her gaze fell on Yangyang, who was sitting obediently beside her. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him and encouraged him, "Yangyang, once you get better, you'll be able to run around freely like your younger brother and sister."
"Mmm!" Yangyang looked at her with bright eyes, and it was almost impossible to find the shadow of the years of suffering from illness in the past.
Su Youling hugged him tightly and kissed the top of his head, "Mommy's good son."
...
The next morning, Li Tingxi was discussing the kidnapper they had captured the day before with Qin He.
After the kidnapper woke up, no matter how much he questioned him, he insisted that he had acted on impulse because Su Youling was pretty, and that he had no intention of killing her.
Li Tingxi naturally couldn't believe it. How could someone make a spur-of-the-moment decision and carry sleeping pills with them? Moreover, according to Su Youling, this person had been hiding under the back seat of the car all along, and he also had a certain level of counter-surveillance awareness, knowing to switch cars midway and use the wrong location to lure them.
However, even though he was beaten half to death, he still refused to admit that he was acting under someone else's orders.
Qin He observed Li Tingxi's expression and whispered, "President Li, we can't find any more clues from him, and we can't just kill him."
You have to understand that Li Tingxi was really ruthless yesterday, and almost killed someone.
The death of such a clearly criminal is not a big deal, but this is in the country, and the aftermath will be troublesome. In addition, even if we take his life, it won't help. If we don't find out who is behind him, Su Youling may still be in danger.
Li Tingxi exhaled a breath of stale air, just as he was at a loss, when Ye Qing suddenly came over and said that she might be able to help.
“You probably don’t know, but there’s a sizable criminal organization here. Many of the seemingly destitute homeless people on the streets are their informants,” Ye Qing analyzed for Li Tingxi. “I estimate that this kidnapper is also connected to this criminal organization. Even if he’s not an insider, we should be able to find something useful by following this lead.”
"A criminal organization?" Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Qin He.
Qin He understood immediately. "President Li, I will arrange for someone to investigate right away."
Li Tingxi looked at Ye Qing and readily accepted her help: "Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll have to trouble you and Qin He to work together. Consider it a favor I owe you. I'll thank you again after we find out the results."
"You owe me a meal yesterday, and now you owe me a favor. You, Li Tingxi, are a man of your word, so please remember to keep your promise." Ye Qing teased him casually, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Given Li Tingxi's abilities, even if he can't get that person to talk right away, he might eventually come up with another way.
Even though she had given that person enough benefits, anything could happen as long as he was still alive.
She absolutely could not let Li Tingxi find out that she was the one who arranged Rebecca's kidnapping.
Now that Li Tingxi has agreed to let her intervene in the investigation, she has plenty of ways to pin the blame on this organization.
If we can just shut that person up forever, then this matter can be completely over...
