Chapter 40 Seeking a Way to Make a Living
“You’re cooperating in kidnapping me, it’s definitely not just for humiliation and revenge. Don’t you want to get a huge ransom and leave here? With money, you can live a carefree and happy life for the rest of your days.” Su Youling suppressed the nausea rising in her throat, her face smeared with blood, looking somewhat terrifying.
“But Li Tingxi is rich and powerful and not easy to deal with. Without my cooperation, you are likely to lose everything and be wiped out by him, not getting a penny and losing your lives. I think you have heard how ruthless and cruel his methods are.”
She deliberately turned her bloodied half-face toward Chen Yu, and sure enough, she saw the intense disgust in his eyes as he pulled his large hand away from her chest.
"Too ugly! It's fucking disgusting." Chen Yu glanced at the woman with bloodshot eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He had indeed heard that Li Tingxi was ruthless and merciless.
Li Tingxi was originally just an illegitimate son of the Li family. His father's legal wife's family was wealthy and powerful, and they could not tolerate the existence of this mother and son. They did a lot of things to Li Tingxi and tried to kill him.
But Li Tingxi was skilled and quick-witted, and at a young age he had a fearless spirit. In order to protect his mother, he almost caused chaos in the Li family.
It is said that after that, the Li family's legal wife dared not send anyone to harass the mother and son anymore.
As for Li Tingxi's legendary rise to power in the business world, there are countless stories. As a president who rose to power through illegitimate means, he was destined to be rejected and schemed against both inside and outside the group at first. But in the end, those people either disappeared or were eliminated, and the rest all stood on Li Tingxi's side and became his teammates.
It would be a lie to say I'm not uneasy about going against someone like that.
Chen Yu grabbed Su Youling's chin and said, "What do you want to do? Don't try anything funny, or I'll kill you right now, and you can forget about contacting Li Tingxi to save you."
“He’s having a new lover and is too happy to think about anything else, how could he have time to save me?” Su Youling gave a bitter smile. “I’d better show my sincerity in cooperating first.”
"Sincerity?" Chen Yu and Sister Feng exchanged a glance, put down their cameras, and walked over to stare at her, wanting to see what other tricks she could pull.
"Every time Li Tingxi takes on a new lover, he gives me financial compensation: a villa worth hundreds of millions, a luxury car worth tens of millions, and some land and movable property..." Su Youling said slowly, and seeing the two men's eyes light up, she knew what was going on.
If they still want money, then there's still room for negotiation, which gives her a chance to escape.
“Over the years, the assets under my name have amounted to several hundred million in market value. Some assets are difficult to liquidate, but the villa in Jinting Bay, the newly transferred luxury car, and the gold card worth tens of millions are all sitting in the Li Mansion. As long as I make a phone call and have someone bring out the property certificate, car keys, and cards, you can easily liquidate them.” Su Youling’s eyes lit up as she saw Chen Yu and Sister Feng, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief. “This is just a token of my sincerity. After it’s done, we can cooperate to extort a sum from Li Tingxi.”
"A villa in Jinting Bay? That's a prime residential area worth over 100 million yuan. Only fifty units were available for sale at launch. It's not something you can just buy if you have money." Sister Feng felt the blow of money and said sarcastically, "Li Tingxi is really generous to you. If he finds a few more mistresses outside, you can become the world's richest woman."
"As a woman myself, if you were me, would you be happy to receive such compensation from your husband's infidelity? You're much better off than me. Even if your husband is unreliable, at least you have a son! We've been married for three years, and he won't let me have children. He's probably already prepared to kick me out." Su Youling gave a bitter smile, her expression utterly dejected.
In that instant, she was no longer the high and mighty socialite, but just like any other pitiful woman bullied by men, making Sister Feng feel...

With a hint of hostility, she said, "Seeing how arrogant you were during the day, I really thought you were living a glamorous life as the president's wife! How could you be so stupid as to still be working for such a scoundrel!"
Su Youling curled up on the ground and cried silently, but she kept the military knife hidden in her hand without making a sound. Fortunately, she had hidden the knife on her body in the last moment before she lost consciousness, and it was not lost with her bag and phone.
Once the two men lowered their guard, she seized the opportunity to escape and seek help.
Over here, Chen Yu discussed with Sister Feng for a while, and when he came back, he tossed her a cell phone and said, "Call the servants at the Li Mansion and deliver the things to No. 32 Xitie Street now."
Su Youling obediently did as she was told. When she called back, the servants were overjoyed. "Madam, when are you coming back? Young Master was furious when he found out you had moved your things out. He still can't bear to part with you."
Su Youling glanced at Chen Yu and Sister Feng, who were eyeing her menacingly, and deliberately snorted, "He's already brought his new lover back to our home. The Li Mansion is already filthy. What am I supposed to do here? I also have people I care about who need to be taken care of. I don't want to waste any more time on him."
She asked the maid to retrieve her identification and cards from the drawer in her room, and instructed her not to tell Li Tingxi. The maid assumed that she had moved to the new villa out of spite and, unable to reconcile them, had no choice but to comply.
Su Youling still harbored a faint hope—that the maid would be able to call Li Tingxi, and that Li Tingxi would be able to detect the flaw in her words and understand that the person she 'cared about' was in the sanatorium.
Therefore, she wouldn't suddenly stop answering his calls, and after leaving the Li Mansion, she moved to the vicinity of the sanatorium.
"You're smart enough! Sister Feng, I'm going to get the money. You stay and watch over her..." After his initial victory, Chen Yu's ferocity lessened somewhat. Looking at Su Youling's pitiful crying face, her tears washing away the bloodstains and revealing half of her porcelain-white face, his lewd thoughts began to stir again.
"Forget it, I'll stay. This woman is very cunning, you probably can't control her by yourself." Chen Yu suddenly chuckled evilly, dragged Sister Feng out to discuss matters, leaving Su Youling leaning against the corner of the wall, her eyes dark and unfathomable, her face turned to the side and she couldn't help but vomit, tears streaming down her face due to the intense nausea.
She was so tired and disgusted!
Su Youling was all too familiar with Chen Yu's gaze just now. Countless men had used that same wicked look on her during social drinking parties, as if they wanted to strip her naked.
In the past, she could resist and maneuver at drinking parties, but now she's at their mercy, and she probably doesn't even have the chance to resist.
Li Tingxi...
If he can't come to save her, if she ends up dying together with Chen Yu... Li Tingxi will definitely understand the clue she left on the phone.
Once he understands his past plea for help, Li Tingxi will be unable to remain uninvolved.
If she dies this time, he will share the blame.
Given Li Tingxi's personality, he would probably help her take care of her mother!
While the two were discussing the details outside, Su Youling desperately used her military knife to cut the ropes binding her hands and feet. She had barely managed to cut them when the voices outside disappeared.
Chen Yu pushed open the door and walked in, impatiently pulling out his belt as he went, and casually turning on the camera, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Whether she gave him money or not, he never intended to let her go.
Su Youling felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Pretending to still be tied up, she asked tremblingly, "What are you doing? Didn't we agree to cooperate?"
