Chapter 450 A Dead End
Sitting at the head of the group was Su Youling, who had rushed over immediately because she couldn't contact Li Tingxi and Qin He and was worried about them. Qin Yaoruo was also with her.
Qin Yaoruo peeked out from behind Su Youling, glaring intently at the mute man entangled with Qin He. Her bloodshot eyes blazed with overwhelming hatred. "Brother, Brother Tingxi, that man with the burns on his face, that's him! He's Tiger!"
Li Tingxi and Qin He were shocked. The tiger they thought it was was just a smokescreen!
Before Qin He could react, the fake tiger's accomplice punched him, and the mute man, who was actually the real tiger, rolled on the ground.
Just as he was about to pick up the gun, Su Youling's eyes darkened, and she stepped on the gas pedal without hesitation, crashing into him.
Upon seeing this, Qin He quickly pounced over, grabbed the tiger's foot, and pinned it to the ground.
The accomplice immediately ran over and tried to kick Su Youling off the car, but was hit by the motorcycle and sent flying the next second.
Seeing the motorcycle about to run him over, Tiger's expression finally changed, and he spat out angrily, "Damn it, you're asking for it!"
He had already reached for the gun on the ground. With a fierce look in his eyes, he picked it up and immediately aimed it at Su Youling and pulled the trigger.
Seeing this, Li Tingxi, who was not far away, suddenly sprang into action. He simply picked up the fake tiger and used it as a shield, then leaped forward to block Su Youling.
The bullet struck the fake tiger squarely between the eyebrows, blood gushed out, and the man died shortly afterward.
The tiger was about to fire again when Qin He immediately punched the gun away.
At this moment, Li Tingxi used all his strength to clear the way with the fake tiger's corpse, and Su Youling drove her motorcycle without stopping for a moment and ran over the tiger's left leg.
"Ah!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky. The tiger's face and neck were covered with ferocious blue veins, and cold sweat instantly broke out.
Seeing that the tiger had completely lost its ability to move, Su Youling got out of the car without stopping and immediately ran to Li Tingxi, carefully checking him over with fear and caution: "Are you injured anywhere?"
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt. It's Qin He who got shot in the shoulder," Li Tingxi reassured her softly. But he didn't forget there was something important. With Su Youling's help, he turned the fake tiger's body over and found explosives in the lining of its coat.
Fortunately, it wasn't a time bomb.
At this moment, Li Tingxi's other subordinates also arrived late, each of them suffering some injuries.
The group immediately removed the handcuffs from Li Tingxi and tied up the tiger at the same time.
Li Tingxi immediately checked Qin He's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.
Even though Qin Yaoruo was usually stubborn, her eyes reddened at this moment, and she glared at the tiger as if she wanted to skin him alive.
Li Tingxi walked up to the tiger, half-squatting down and staring intently at him, with an unreal feeling of the dust finally settling. "After all these years, I've finally seen your true colors. Tell me, who exactly is plotting behind your back?"
"Even if I die, I will never tell you," Tiger sneered, refusing to back down even in such a disadvantageous position: "Li Tingxi, if you have the guts, kill me now!"
"Kill you?" Li Tingxi narrowed his eyes, stood up, and stepped on the tiger's still bleeding left leg, applying slight pressure. "That would be too easy on you."

Seeing the tiger trembling in pain, its screams becoming intermittent, he finally removed his foot and gestured to Qin He beside him, "You can take the man back and deal with him. This beast has committed numerous evils, allowing him to roam free for so many years. Even if we can't get him to talk, we must make him pay the price he deserves."
Qin He looked into his icy eyes and understood perfectly well that Li Tingxi meant for him to settle scores and seek revenge.
He nodded gratefully, his gaze suddenly turning cold as he looked at the tiger. Then he gestured to his two men beside him, "Take the man into the car."
Qin Yaoruo volunteered to ride in the same car as them.
Su Youling and Li Tingxi got into another car.
In the back seat, Su Youling still didn't believe Li Tingxi's claim that he wasn't injured. Worried that he was deliberately hiding it from her, she reached out and lifted his clothes.
Li Tingxi was somewhat amused and exasperated, but seeing her furrowed brows, he knew she wouldn't feel at ease without personally confirming it, so he took off his coat.
He was wearing a white shirt underneath, which was a little dirty from the fight, but there was no blood on it.
“If you still don’t believe me,” Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow, took her hand and led it inside his clothes, a mischievous glint in his eyes, “why don’t you feel it for yourself?”
Su Youling was startled by the burning heat emanating from his skin. Realizing what had happened, she immediately pulled her hand back, glancing awkwardly towards the driver's seat before glaring angrily at Li Tingxi.
However, seeing that Li Tingxi still had the mind to tease her, she was no longer worried.
"We've finally caught Tiger," Su Youling thought, considering that Karina was likely the mastermind behind bribing Tiger. She couldn't help but probe Li Tingxi, "If Tiger refuses to reveal his employer no matter what, what do you plan to do with him?"
Li Tingxi regained his composure, his eyes revealing a ruthless glint. "He has no choice. If he touches my people, his only fate is death! If he persists in his stubbornness, Qin He has plenty of ways to torture him to the point of wishing he were dead."
When Su Youling heard the words "my people," she naturally imagined Karina, who was still unconscious in the hospital, and a wave of indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.
It seems Shen Xiyue's self-inflicted injury scheme really worked this time; Li Tingxi has even categorized her as one of his own. Tsk.
Li Tingxi noticed that Su Youling's emotions were not quite right, and assumed that she was still scared by what had just happened, so he simply pulled her into his arms to comfort her: "Now that we have dealt with the tiger, this major threat, as long as we find out the mastermind behind it all, we can settle down."
As he spoke, he took out a small, black gift box from the pocket of his coat and handed it to Su Youling with a smile: "Open it and take a look."
Su Youling was stunned for a moment. After opening it, she saw a green jade bracelet inside and didn't know what to say.
"Your mission was so dangerous, yet you still had the mind to buy this stuff."
Li Tingxi took it and put it on her. The size was just right, and the emerald green color made her skin look even whiter and more radiant.
Satisfied with his own judgment, he leaned down and pressed his forehead against Su Youling's, meeting her eyes in a way that made his boasting all too obvious: "This was made especially for you. You're my wife, and I think of you wherever I go. Shouldn't you feel very happy and love me even more?"
Su Youling couldn't help but laugh at his antics, playfully punching him lightly, a sweet feeling welling up inside her.
