Lazily Yours.

Lyca continued watching the real-time footage… until she fell asleep.

Who would have thought that watching a real live video can be so dull? Of course, this was because she could only see traffic. A long, irritating traffic. Just watching it made Lyca dizzy. So, she closed her eyes and didn't even realize that she was already sleeping.

When Lyca woke up again, it was because Rue was shaking her shoulders.

"You drool when you sleep," Rue said, her eyes were focused on the computer screen.

"But I'm still beautiful," Lyca answered. Her husband said she was beautiful even when she was drooling. This made her more confident to sleep… everywhere.

"It's there… "

"Oh!?" Lyca stopped slouching and stared at the screen. On the footage, they could see a tree in the middle of the road. Because of this, the four van's stopped. But none of them got out of their cars. Lyca rubbed her palms together. Anticipation swirled in her eyes.

She couldn't hear the sound but, she was thinking of some badass sound that they play when during a war movie trailer, like the beat and the sound of guns, footsteps, then the loud thundering gunfires.

Lyca's palms started to sweat when she spotted shadows walking towards the vans. The video is actually not that clear, but she could clearly see people walking towards her vehicle.  Then it started.

The ground of men surrounded the car and started firing. It didn't take too long before their bullets run out. Then they stopped moving. Lyca could feel the thick silence, the smell of gunpowder in the air, and the visible confusion in the men's faces.

"Ah! I wish I was there!" she said as she watched the group of men slowly approached the vehicles to check them. They wanted to know if they succeeded. One of the men opened the van, and almost immediately, someone jumped out of the van.

Despite not being there, Lyca could imagine the adrenaline that her people must have felt as they started shooting their guns towards the group of men. One, two, three, four… it didn't take ten minutes before the group of twenty people who were there to ambush them… fell. Dead.

End of story.

Lyca gulped. "Call the police," she said, and Rue instantly followed her orders. "Tell them… our people were ambushed and defended themselves. Make a copy of this video and send it to the media."

"Media?"

Lyca nodded. Dal Valley already revealed that they have a lot of connections in the police department. It would be useless to give the video to the police. "Oh, by the way… what time is it?"

"It's six."

"Then… they closed off that road?"

"Looks like it," Rue said as she started working. Rue isn't as good as her brother, but she knows how to copy a video. In ten minutes, Rue anonymously created an email while watching the police personnel arrived in the area. "They arrested them!"

"That's expected."

"What about the armor!?"

"It will detonate once they touch it," Lyca said. The armor was specially made for her team. She made sure that no one would be able to steal it and take advantage of her design. Lyca looked as her people calmly surrendered and got into the police vehicles. "Let's take a trip to the police station." Lyca stood and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Rue brought her laptop and the files that would serve as proof before following Lyca out.

"Hey… I want to have some delicious dinner." Lyca said the moment she entered Shen Qui's office. "What are you doing?"

"This is the design for the new restaurant in Saka Region. It's in a hotel." Shen Qui lifted his gaze. The dark bags under his eyes made Lyca frowned.

"Did something happen?" She sat on his lap and folded her arm around his neck.

"Another company wanted to monopolize the supply of beef in the Saka region. It is causing me problems as the governor is connected to the company." Shen Qui had always been honest to Lyca about everything that is going on in the company.

However, most of the time, Lyca wouldn't ask him questions. She was never interested in doing business and was even too lazy to look at their profits and reports.

"Oh… seems like managing a business is really hard," Lyca said. "Do you need my help?"

"You want to become the CEO? If you do, I would immediately quit." He was serious. He didn't take any business courses and only learned because he studied hard. It was tiring and definitely taking a lot of his time away from his wife.

"What? No! I mean in talking to the governor. I am definitely a good talker."

Shen Qui instantly sent a warning glance to Ronan, who was about to laugh at Lyca's words. "I am good. I can manage. By the day… how was it? Did we succeed?"

"Hm. The police arrested them. I already told Rue to post it online and let the netizens judge the whole situation." In this world, netizens are definitely influential people. They can change the situation and even change laws. The most important thing is to act like you were the bullied party, and people would just magically defend you even if they don't know you! "I am on my way to the police station. I want you to book a restaurant so we can eat together."

"Your people are in jail. How can you celebrate?"

"They won't stay in jail tonight." She said, confidence laced her voice.

"Why is that?"

"Obviously… it's because I'm beautiful."

"…" Shameless!

Lyca giggled. Obviously, Xu Jihan would help them out. Lyca didn't ask that man for help. Still, she was confident that once Xu Jihan sees that video, he would instantly get her people out. And maybe even come back to Long City to have another talk with her.

This time, Lyca was sure that the conversation is not going to be about politics.
