Lazily Yours.

Chapter 234: A Heart is a Muscle

Lyca let out a yawn as she stopped playing with her phone. She stopped lounging on the chair and stared at the four men who seemed to have gone mental, dancing around and laughing. Looking at her watch, Lyca realized that the twenty minutes had now passed. Her people must have completed the rescue. 

She couldn't help but wonder if they succeeded. It seems that the guards didn't know what was happening, or they intentionally didn't tell Luis and his friends. She looked at the four men and decided to wait for five more minutes before leaving this place. She let out another yawn before she finally decided to turn off the video from Luis' phone and send everything to Ronan.

Then she stood and made sure to wipe the phone clean before leaving the tent without sparing the group of men another glance. These people are bound to have their own punishment soon. But again, she was sure that those punishments won't happen during the day. Before leaving, Lyca made sure to put another chemical that would make these people stay in bed for a few days. She needed them away from this site. 

"Miss, why are you leaving?"

"He asked me to leave." She shrugged and gestured the guard to go to the tent so he could see what was happening inside. She then continued walking towards the person who kept her phone earlier. It took Lyca ten minutes to finally convinced the guards that it was Luis who let her go.

Of course, the guards didn't really have any way of knowing what really happened inside. What they saw was the men dancing without any signs of distress. There were also no signs of fighting or signs that Lyca took anything from them.

This action really surprised the guards. How could Lyca leave when … not one of the women that Luis liked came back before? However, without any proof that something bad happened, they could only let her go while wondering why she didn't seem to be so concern about the two women that they took earlier.

That was when they realized that there was something wrong with this current scenario. Lyca was supposed to be here to get those two women! So….

"Sir, they escaped!" the person that they sent to check the woman announced as he tried to catch his breath. "The two of them. They were no longer there!"

All of the guards stood frozen as they wondered what could have happened and how come those four didn't seem to bother that Lyca left? However, they could only shake their heads in dismay. Without Luis' orders, they really couldn't do anything to Lyca or her people.

When Lyca left the camp, she immediately went back to the camp with the others.

"Jesus! You're safe!" Cleo immediately pulled Lyca into a hug.

"No hugging." Lyca patted the woman's shoulders, but Cleo didn't budge. Instead, she hugged Lyca tighter as she wondered how come Boss Q didn't come here. Why does it seem like the boss wasn't so worried about Lyca? Isn't it normal for a man to do these things to his beloved?

"Xi, I am so glad that nothing happened to you." While she knew that Lyca was very capable, she still thought it was a little careless for her to just go in there without any guns or knives, without any weapons at all.

"No Hug," Lyca uttered, this time she slowly poked Cleo's arms. "I'm alive," she added. It's not like she went to fight against an army. Lyca was only there to sightsee, alright?

After a couple more seconds, Cleo finally decided to let go.

"How's everything?" Lyca calmly said when she went inside Rue's tent. This is where they kept Yan Junqi and number nine. She eyed the two women that were lying in a blue camping bed that everyone was using.

"Drugged." Rue immediately chimed in. She stared at Lyca wondering if she would see a speck of blood on her clothes but soon realize it would be useless, she knew Lyca wouldn't leave any evidence. "Did you kill them?" she asked, expecting Lyca to give her a simple nod. Instead, what she got was a confused look on Lyca's face.

"What do you mean?" Lyca said as she approached the two women and examined their pulses. She then clicked her tongue and looked at the confused Rue. "They'll live. And the people that rescued them?"

"Gu Cheng ended up the one with the plan while Ma Ping didn't. In the end, the two decided to work together. Use one plan and they rescued the women in a few minutes." Rue said, frowning. She crossed her arm across her chest. "You didn't kill them? Why?"

Lyca lifted an eyebrow at Rue's reaction. Then she remembered that Rue had some experience against men like these when she was younger.

"Those men were pigs, Xi! How could you let them go?"

"I didn't." Lyca walked out of the tent, and the two women immediately followed her out.

"What is that supposed to mean? You know that they were planning to do something to those two right? How could you just let them go, like that?" Rue said, her face turned red as she balled her hands into tight fists. "I know you are perfectly capable of killing them! How could you let them live another day?" She suddenly grabbed Lyca's arms. "How could you— "

"I could kill them." Lyca stopped walking. "I wanted to." She said. "But that would mean, putting everyone's life in danger. Would you want to see everyone here suffer just because I let my emotion get the best of me?" She calmly removed Rue's hand on her arm. "I was planning to torture them until they confess their crimes. I am a woman, and I hated men like this. However, when I arrived, I realized they were too high. So I did what I thought would be best for everyone." To be honest, Lyca was a little thankful that she didn't torture them.

"But those people— "

"Listen, Rue…" Lyca sigh. "Just because we are broken is okay." She stared at Rue, wondering when did she start to become like a guru who gives advice to people. Then she continued. "But always… use your brain. Don't let your emotions ruin you. Logic is everything." She pointed at Rue's chest. "It is nothing but a muscle that pumps blood. Use your head." She uttered before walking towards Ma Ping and Gu Cheng, who was waiting for her.
