Chapter 447 Catching the Tiger
Xia Zhiying was startled and instinctively took a step forward.
Fortunately, Li Mufeng was on guard and firmly gripped Chu Yuexuan's fist, pressing it down.
As they battled, veins bulged on their faces and arms, and their eyes clashed like invisible swords.
Li Mufeng quickly gained the upper hand, completely dominating Chu Yuexuan. He threw Chu Yuexuan's hand away with a look of disgust, his expression full of sarcasm: "A man who is about to become a discarded husband should just stay away from Miss Xia. If I see you bullying her again, you can try to see if my fists are hard enough."
Chu Yuexuan had never suffered such humiliation before; the muscles in his face were taut and twitching.
But he wasn't stupid. He realized that the difference between his gym-trained skills and Li Mufeng's was significant, so he stopped humiliating himself, since he had already lost enough face.
But the anger in my heart was simply too difficult to vent.
He then turned to Xia Zhiying, his gloomy gaze extremely oppressive: "Xia Zhiying, don't forget who you are! Why aren't you coming over here?"
This time, Xia Zhiying pressed down on Li Mufeng, stepped out from behind him, and said with a cold smile, "Chu Yuexuan, why don't you tell me what my identity is?"
Seeing that Chu Yuexuan hesitated, she continued, word by word, "Mr. Chu, not everyone is like you, still indulging in brothels every day after marriage. After all, I have a sense of shame! So no matter what you think of me, I know that I have a clear conscience."
At this point, a fake smile appeared on her face that didn't reach her eyes. "Miss Yu, you really don't need to go to such lengths to trip me up. I'm a very clear person when it comes to separating public and private matters. Once I make a promise, I will definitely keep it. Instead of targeting me, you should wait until after I divorce Chu Yuexuan and think about how to stand out from his bunch of rotten suitors."
Now, not only was Chu Yuexuan's face grim, but Yu Jiaren's face also flushed red with anger: "You!"
Xia Zhiying didn't bother to give her another glance and turned to leave.
Seeing Chu Yuexuan and Yu Jiaren looking like two defeated fighting cocks, Li Mufeng raised his eyebrows smugly, deliberately lingering his gaze on Yu Jiaren for a second longer, and warned, "If you're going to be a mistress, you should be aware of what you're doing. I'm letting you know in advance that I have a habit of hitting women, so if you cause any more trouble for Miss Xia, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
After saying that, he turned around and went to chase after Xia Zhiying.
Chu Yuexuan stared intently in the direction the two had left. More than the burning pain on his nose, a strange panic made him feel lost and helpless.
He vaguely sensed that he might be about to lose something very precious.
Li Mufeng followed Xia Zhiying all the way until she was about to get into a taxi. He immediately stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Take my car. I'm worried about you in your current condition."
Xia Zhiying looked up and met his deep eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she reflexively lowered her head, deliberately creating a sense of distance: "Mr. Li, although I am very grateful for your help, I think it is better for us to keep our distance."
Li Mufeng frowned, a sense of frustration welling up inside him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I didn't mean to force you. I know your concerns. So before you cut off contact with that man, could you please try to treat me as an ordinary friend?"
Xia Zhiying sighed, and when she looked up, her face was very serious: "Mr. Li, I don't think we can be friends. Let me tell you, even if we get divorced, I don't plan to start a new relationship."

Pretending not to see the hurt expression on Li Mufeng's face, she ducked and climbed into the car.
As the car drove away, she looked through the rearview mirror at Li Mufeng's figure growing smaller and smaller, her feelings a complex mix as she pursed her lips.
...
After waking up from his coma, Li Tingxi became even more determined to catch the tiger.
With years of planning as a foundation, and now with Yangyang as the biggest help, information about the tiger is gradually progressing.
When the tiger and lion attacked at the airport that day, Zhou Lang didn't find any useful information immediately.
But after a week of relentless persistence, even the cunning tiger and lion eventually made a mistake, allowing Li Tingxi's men to find a flaw—a trace of blood remained in the crack of the ceiling in the airport restroom.
After professional testing, it was confirmed that the DNA contained not only Karina's DNA but also that of several other people.
After investigating all the victims from that time, there was one set of gene sequences that didn't match, making it highly likely that the owner was the tiger!
Li Tingxi could almost imagine that after committing the crime, Tiger hid the murder weapon in a gap in the ceiling of the airport restroom to avoid attracting attention. He probably returned once afterward to retrieve the weapon.
How arrogant!
Li Tingxi had Qin He retrieve the airport's surveillance footage, and sure enough, several parts of the data were missing.
With Yangyang's help, the surveillance video was repaired.
Li Tingxi finally managed to dispel the fog that had troubled him for years. In the repaired surveillance video, only one particularly tall and obese woman entered and exited the restroom several times, and her face was never exposed from any angle.
But that was enough for Li Tingxi to order the investigation to continue.
Three more days passed before Qin He finally brought good news: "President Li, the tiger has appeared!"
Li Tingxi hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while, and when he finally heard the good news, he couldn't sit still any longer: "Where is he now? Arrange for a few people to go there in person immediately."
Without a second thought, Su Youling immediately rejected the idea: "No, I don't agree! Li Tingxi, Dr. Lu said you need to rest now, and I won't allow you to joke around with your health."
Seeing her with a stern face, Li Tingxi sighed softly, walked over and hugged her tightly, soothing her gently: "Su Su, don't think of me as made of paper. This person is a tiger. I can only feel at ease when I catch him with my own hands."
Su Youling wouldn't listen. She broke free from his embrace and argued with him, "You know this man is a tiger, not some nobody. You have so many capable assistants under you, don't you trust their abilities?"
“Su Su, I just want everything to be foolproof,” Li Tingxi said seriously, cupping Su Youling’s face in his hands. “Just like you said, I asked you the same question. Don’t you believe me?”
Su Youling was truly angered by him and couldn't help but raise her voice: "How can these two things be the same? Li Tingxi, don't try to confuse the issue!"
Li Tingxi, afraid of provoking her, gently patted the top of her head, but still insisted on his own opinion: "We have already alerted the enemy. If we miss this opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to catch the tiger again."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Su Youling had no choice but to settle for second best and suggest going with him.
Unfortunately, Li Tingxi was very hypocritical. He refused to budge, citing that she would restrict his actions and cause unforeseen complications.
