Chapter 611 Indiscriminate Shooting of the Entire Field
Su Youling pushed him away in disappointment, placing her hand against his heart. "You always want to completely control everything about me, but you won't allow me to be a part of your life. You have to have your own plans and reasons for everything you do, and I am not within your purview."
Li Tingxi's expression changed. "I'm not..."
"Isn't that right?" Su Youling poked his chest and asked coldly, "Then why don't you dare tell me that you have self-harmed many times, and that you are emotionally unstable and unable to control yourself?"
"Why didn't you tell me that there was actually a mastermind behind Shen Xiyue in the cruise ship case five years ago who has been lurking and has yet to be caught?"
"Why don't you dare tell me that the attacks on me and the children weren't actually arranged by Shen Xiyue, but more likely orchestrated by the mastermind behind it all?"
A barrage of questions pierced Li Tingxi's chest like sharp swords, shattering his solid defenses.
Why didn't he ever think of being honest with Su Youling?
But doing so would only make him feel more useless and incompetent, unable to even protect his own woman and children, and causing them to live in fear along with him.
He was even more afraid that once Su Youling learned the truth, she would lead the children away from him, the source of danger, and never appear again.
Even when he thought about this possibility, he wanted to simply and brutally take Su Youling and the children home and keep them confined, so that no one would have the opportunity to approach them, and the tragedy of five years ago would not happen again.
He never dared to tell Su Youling these secret and dark thoughts—because he knew that such a mentality was pathological.
“Su Su, I…” Li Tingxi tried to grab her hand, but Su Youling coldly avoided it. “I’ve talked to you openly today because I hope we can face these things together. If you still insist on going your own way…”
She took a deep breath. "I won't stop you from seeing the child anymore, but I don't want to continue living such a tiring life with you."
Feeling tired?
Does she feel tired being with me?
These words were more damaging than ever before, seemingly negating the past and future between the two of them in an instant, causing the tension that had been taut in Li Tingxi's mind to snap instantly.
"Su Youling, am I being too good to you?" He suddenly grabbed Su Youling's wrist and pressed it against the wall, with a force he himself didn't realize was greater. "Whether it's the past, the present, or the future, I will never let go of the person I've chosen. Whether you live or die, you can only be by my side. Don't even think about getting rid of me with any excuse."
"It hurts! Li Tingxi..." Su Youling suppressed her anger and forced herself to remain calm. "You really should look in the mirror and see what you look like now. If you're sick, go get treatment, otherwise one day you'll harm yourself and others, and even hurt the people around us, including the children."
She looked at Li Tingxi expressionlessly, "I never said I wanted to get rid of you, but now you don't even dare to face your own heart, how can you face our relationship and future?"
Thump!
Li Tingxi felt as if he heard a boulder crashing into his heart. His heart clenched with pain, and her words exposed his deepest vulnerability, revealing its raw, bleeding side, making him unable to face the devastation within him.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Li Tingxi knew that he might not have truly recovered from the fear of losing Su Youling back then.
He kept blaming himself for his incompetence and ignorance that caused Su Youling's death, and he kept punishing himself with this self-deceiving method!

He's a complete coward!
Li Tingxi suddenly forced a smile, a smile more painful than a grimace, "You..."
Seeing him like this, Su Youling felt a pang of pain in her heart and wondered if she had spoken too harshly.
Just as I was about to say something to ease the tension, hurried footsteps and the sound of a wheelchair rolling on the ground came from the end of the corridor.
"Where's Rebecca?" Old Master Yin and Mrs. Ferro rushed over, grabbing Su Youling's hand without hesitation and demanding, "How is she? Is she hurt?"
Seeing Mrs. Ferro's impolite manner, Li Tingxi subconsciously grabbed her hand and threw her aside, saying, "Please be more polite. This is not the place for Mrs. Ferro to act wildly."
"You!" Mrs. Ferro clenched her fists in anger. "The Ferro family has been embroiled in internal strife, splitting into two factions and starting a fight. Now it's a complete mess. Are you satisfied?"
"You're welcome. I'm just avenging my family." Li Tingxi glanced at her expressionlessly. "You should be glad that I'm not an ungrateful wretch like you, so I didn't try to kill you like you did to my people."
"When did I ever try to destroy Su Youling?" Madam Ferro glared angrily at Su Youling. "I never knew you were such a tattletale, a femme fatale!"
Su Youling frowned, not wanting to argue here and affect Rebecca, so she chose to ignore her question.
She could tolerate it, but Li Tingxi couldn't. "She's not the type to gossip behind people's backs; she usually settles scores on the spot. Did Mrs. Ferro think that by arranging for a ship to send her away, she wouldn't have been harmed?"
He looked down at the angry woman aggressively, "There are assassins from Shen Xiyue's group on that ship. As soon as the ship leaves Atlantis, Su Su will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and you will be one of the culprits."
"I……"
"Do you dare say you didn't expect such consequences at all? You really didn't have the slightest intention to kill Su Su?" Li Tingxi blocked Madam Ferro's path, his eyes filled with undisguised ferocity and murderous intent. "If it weren't for your good daughter, you wouldn't be qualified to stand in front of us and speak like this now."
Mrs. Ferro was trembling with rage, wishing she could tear Li Tingxi to pieces. "How long have you been alive? How dare you be so arrogant towards me? You ignorant fool..."
"When a person can only rely on making threats to create momentum, it means she has reached the end of her rope," Li Tingxi said sarcastically. "Madam did have her glorious moments, but when heroes grow old, they should broaden their horizons and hand over the stage to the younger generation, instead of clinging to a place and living like a frog in a well, relying on the memories of her glorious past!"
"You...you ignorant fool!" Mrs. Ferro was so enraged by the young man's blasphemous disrespect for her life's pride that she trembled with rage and almost forgot her primary purpose for coming here.
The smell of gunpowder could ignite at any moment.
Just then, Rebecca's worried voice came from inside the house, "What's going on outside? What happened? Su Su, are you arguing with Li Tingxi?"
Old Master Yin then glared at Mrs. Ferro and said angrily, "Enough! My daughter's safety and well-being are the most important things. If you're going to cause trouble, then leave immediately."
"You old geezer!" Mrs. Ferro shoved her wheelchair aside, flung open the door, and rushed into the room, excitedly throwing herself at Rebecca, "My darling!"
Old Master Yin sighed, "Tingxi, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to waste time on such nonsense." Li Tingxi was furious, and his words were like a barrage of attacks, indiscriminately sweeping across the entire area.
