Lazily Yours.

"I don't trust you."

"You don't need to." Lyca smiled. "I am doing this for my interest, not for you. Of course, I would ask you some money as compensation for telling you the location of those pieces of jewelry."

Chu Yuyan squinted. This woman had been saying 'stuff' and 'jewelry'. Was it possible that she wasn't aware of the diamonds that the Chu family lost? Now that Chu Yuyan thought about it. This would mean that she the culprit of the burglary. "Money? Again?"

"If you won't compensate me then I would just keep those stuff for myself and sell it to you. How about that?"

"You— "

Lyca snickered as she raised her eyebrow. "So? What is it? I am really tired, Miss Chu. You have five seconds to decide."

"Alright! How much do you want?"

"Fifty million."

"Excuse me?"

"Miss Chu… I know you came from a really old family who had a lot of mines. Are you telling me that fifty million is too much for you? I am sure those pieces of jewelry are more valuable right? Tell me… did you have some blue diamonds in there? Was it a precious gem?"

"Fifty million is a lot. I can give you ten million."

"Ten million can only buy a few noodles. Give me fifty million and I will forgive what you did earlier. I wouldn't pursue that and I will no longer retaliate. How does that sound?"

"…" Not retaliate? This woman just killed all the people that they sent and she still had the guts to say that she is not retaliating? What about the people that they lost? What about the shame that this woman caused them? Chu Yuyan could only complain about all this inwardly. After all, this woman was also a cold-blooded killer.

"Alright. But you have to promise me! You will not touch the Chu Family as long as we would not touch you!"

"Of course!" Lyca nodded, smiling. How could she touch a fat cow like the Chu Family? She still needed their money, alright."Moreover, this wouldn't have happened if you immediately sent the fourteen million earlier. My men were so tired of moving the bodies of your people so no one was guarding your stores. If you have given me the body just as I asked for it, then I could have bought enough energy drinks for them."

"…" This woman wanted to kill her from anger! Chu Yuyan could only take in a deep breath as she thought about her mother and younger brothers and sister. She needed to take in all this provocation and control her anger or she will suffer along with the whole Chu Family. "Alright. I understand. I should have sent it immediately."

"See? Ma Ping… look this is the type of woman that I like. So easy to talk to." She beamed. "Alright… I want the fifty million now."

"Alright… Alright… I will get my check." Chu Yuyan said. After the transaction, Lyca immediately gave her the information that she wanted. "The Port? Why would it be in the port?" Anger surge inside Chu Yuyan once again as she realized that Lyca might really be the person that masterminded this thing! "Why— "

"Miss Chu… think about it carefully," Lyca said, impatience laced her eyes. "They wanted us to become enemies! Whoever did this wanted to use this accident to make the Chu Family hate me! Aside from this, I highly believe that they chose the port as a way to transport these pieces of jewelry because you wouldn't look for it there! Surely, you would start the search on the streets, no?"

"You— "

"This is taking too long, Miss Chu. I don't need to explain anymore." Lyca turned towards Ma Ping. "I take it back, Ma Ping. I still like people that talk less and understand more. Miss Chu is not like that."

"…" Relax. Relax… Relax… Chu Yuyan chanted inwardly as she closed her eyes and wondered if this woman was trying to provoke her so she would do something stupid tonight. "Alright. I understand what you were trying to say. I really hope that you are right, that they are in the port." Chu Yuyan squinted her eyes. "If you are wrong… The whole Chu family will become your enemy." Although they are only a branch of the Chu Family in the northern part of the Country, Chu Yuyan was still confident that they would send someone to deal with this woman if she asked for their help. 

"Of course!" Lyca smiled. "Isn't this why I personally came here to talk to you? We no longer owe each other now. If you still want my protection, I will definitely work for you and your family again." 

Chu Yuyan said nothing as she glared at Lyca before leaving the car. She was in a hurry as she needed to send her people to the port to verify Lyca's statement.

Lyca smiled as she looked at Chu Yuyan's silhouette as she walked back to the jewelry shop.

"Miss Xi… we just receive a call. They already left the package on a trailer on the port." Ma Ping said as he drove Lyca away from the shop. "Miss Xi, I really can't help but wonder. Why are we returning what we stole? I mean… those diamonds are worth millions. Hundreds of millions."

"Not anymore." Lyca smiled, her eyes were on the streets of Lu City. She had been really tired tonight. She badly needed her rest. Then she thought about the diamonds that she returned. Lyca was not a fan of those little things. She knew that people in the underground use them. However, she wanted money, not diamonds. Moreover, the portion of the diamond that she left on the port is not even half of the original amount of diamonds that were stolen. 

To Lyca, returning those sparkly little things doesn't harm her in any way.

"Miss Xi, you said that you would no longer retaliate. Is that true?"

"Ma Ping… remember this. Revenge is useless." Lyca said. "Let's call this… returning the favor." She added before sipping the juice that she personally concocted herself.
