Chapter 910: Xiao Tang is injured

"What happened to them?"

Upon hearing the important information, Li Xiao immediately perked up.

Following that, he saw the expressions of the few people in front of him change slightly.

It was suddenly quiet for two seconds.

Only then did Lao San say: "Our people have been following them, but they seemed to know someone was tailing them and kept leading us in circles. It wasn't until later that, for some unknown reason, they suddenly changed direction and drove toward the north of the city. Then, when they passed through the tunnel... the car suddenly exploded..."

Li Xiao's expression changed abruptly; he had already guessed the outcome.

Lao San continued: "No one in the car survived. Linke... probably never intended for them to return alive from the start."

"

After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence again.

No one would have thought that he could be so ruthless to such an extent!

That he could even discard his own people like pawns!

Just then—Li Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

He grabbed it almost subconsciously and opened it immediately.

After just one glance, he stood up abruptly!

"Shura!"

The others didn't know where he was going, so they hurriedly followed.

Li Xiao did not stop for a single step, quickly went down the stairs, headed straight for the villa gate, and pulled the door open. Only then did he finally stop, his eyes fixed straight at the doorway.

He saw a square little box sitting on the carpet at the entrance.

It even had a courier company label stuck to it.

"This is..."

Lao Wu's gaze flickered for a moment, and he immediately warned: "Everyone back up! Don't touch it yet!"

As he spoke, he quickly crouched down, moved with lightning speed to pull a USB-sized object from his person, and scanned it over the box.

Only then did he let out a sharp sigh of relief.

"It doesn't seem to be anything dangerous..."

"It was sent by Linke."

Li Xiao spoke up suddenly. As he said this, he bent down, picked up the box, and tore it open, revealing the small wooden box inside.

That box looked as ordinary as could be.

The latch on top was simply fastened, and it felt light as a feather.

Li Xiao opened it without a second thought.

The next second—"Clang!"

The box was suddenly slammed onto the floor!

Li Xiao also took a huge step back, his face showing a look of terror never seen before, and even hatred ignited in an instant.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked down, their eyes also widening abruptly.

A small piece of something rolled out of the box.

It fell onto the floor, leaving a tiny red trail.

It was nothing else but half a finger still stained with blood!!!

The scene was truly too horrifying.

The next second—Li Xiao suddenly drew his gun and turned to head out the door!

"Shura!"

Laoqi was the first to react and hurriedly reached out to stop him.

The others, seeing him lose his composure like this for the first time, also hurriedly stepped forward.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Xiao's nerves, which had been taut for two days, were already on the verge of collapse; only one thought remained in his mind now.

That was to kill Linke with his own hands!

No...

Killing him wouldn't even satisfy the hatred in his heart right now!

How dared he...

How dared he actually touch Xiao Tang!!!

Just then—"Li Xiao! Calm down! This is not Xiao Tang's finger!"

Luo Wanwan suddenly spoke up, and that one sentence made Li Xiao freeze in place instantly.

He turned his head slowly, unable to believe it.

His eyes, however, only looked at Luo Wanwan, not daring to look at the floor again.

Heaven knows that when he opened the lid just now, it was as if his heart had been dug out and his blood drained in an instant!!

The others also came back to their senses and hurriedly examined the object on the floor carefully.

They had long been through the wringer, so they wouldn't feel afraid.

After a long while—"This is indeed not the Madam's; instead, it seems to be... a man's finger."

Laoqi said slowly.

Lao Wu stared at it for a few seconds and also said: "Indeed not. Although this person's finger is very slender, it is much rougher, Shura..."

He looked at Li Xiao, hesitating to speak.

The situation just now had happened too suddenly.

Almost everyone, the moment they saw it, thought that Cai Xiaotang had been harmed.

It was precisely for this reason that Linke had sent this thing over.

He was almost blatantly provoking and inciting them.

Li Xiao panted heavily, and after listening to the few of them finish speaking, he finally shifted his gaze back and swept over it a few times in a flash.

His tense body also suddenly relaxed.

It was indeed not her...

It's good that it's not...

"I..."

He wanted to say something.

Just as he opened his mouth, he discovered that his voice was frighteningly hoarse.

Lao Wu hurriedly advised from the side: "Shura, you should go rest now. Whatever happens, we and the people from Shadow Fiend are keeping watch. We all know you are very worried about Madam, but if you collapse, how will you save her? She certainly wouldn't want to see you like this right now..."

"That's right, Shura, go upstairs and rest for a while first..."

The others also spoke up to persuade him, all of them somewhat worried.

Having been together for many years, this was the first time they had seen Li Xiao lose his composure in an instant like he just did.

Li Xiao listened in silence, and after a long while, he finally nodded.

"I know."

He dropped these four words and turned around with heavy footsteps.

Although every step was taken with immense difficulty, he also knew that everyone was right.

He could not collapse...

He had to regain all of his composure.

Xiao Tang was still waiting for him to save her.

On the other side—Cai Xiaotang had "peacefully" rested for an entire day.

At first, she was worried about whether she would be thrown into the basement again, or if someone would come to cause trouble.

But she did not expect that, in the end, no one came.

Besides someone holding a weapon and watching her from outside the door, there was actually someone who delivered dinner on time.

Between "it might be poisoned or it might be fine" and "if I don't eat, I might get my hands chopped off," Cai Xiaotang decisively chose the former.

After eating, her energy recovered quite a bit.

Her brain, which had been muddled for the whole day, finally began to gradually become active again.

Cai Xiaotang leaned against the bedside, unable to help but stare blankly at the night scene outside the window.

It seems now...

That "fox man" went to great lengths to capture her, yet he isn't in a hurry to "deal with" her; he must want to use her to do something to Li Xiao.

He is such a psychopath, perhaps it is because Li Xiao is his "enemy," so...

Does taking the "enemy's woman" for himself make him feel a special sense of accomplishment?

Aren't most "gangster bosses" in TV dramas like that?

As it stands now... it seems only this reason can explain his behavior.

Then she... could she perhaps take a bold gamble?

As long as she acts like she hates Li Xiao enough, or even... agrees with him a little...

Could she guarantee her short-term safety?

But she couldn't go too far, lest it backfire.

She could only take it one step at a time.

She could only pray that Li Xiao wouldn't make her wait too long...

Just as Cai Xiaotang was thinking this, the next second—she suddenly heard the room door being pushed open.

She turned her head instantly!

Her expression changed slightly.

Sure enough, it was that fox mask again.
