Lazily Yours.
Chapter 416: Regrets
"Listen, Lyca, I am not going to tell you what to do. But…" Huang Sheng Hong let out a loud sighed, his hand was on the whiskey that he just poured. "It is getting dangerous for you. I have a property abroad. We can leave the country. Stop producing these weapons and surrender them to the government. Then we live a peaceful life." Huang Sheng Hong wasn't a coward. However, he would rather see his family safe and sound, living a boring life somewhere, than be embroiled in another trouble—this time with the government.
Huang Sheng Hong didn't want to see his daughter in another troublesome situation where she needed to hide and run away again.
If Lyca didn't know about Xu Ke, then she would have agreed to her father's words. She would run away but would never surrender everything that she made. However, she knew that Xu Ke would never stop unless he got what he wanted.
"I know, father. Don't worry about it." Lyca looked calm on the outside, but she was furious right now. That man was targeting her family again.
"I trust you." This was her father's response before he left with Tang Nini back to Kong City. Of course, the two didn't actually want to leave Lyca and Shen Qui in Long City. But Lai Su just called and told them that Old Man Huang showed some progress and even signs of waking up.
This made Huang Sheng Hong ecstatic and, at the same time, scared for Lyca's safety.
In the end, Lyca insisted that no one would touch her now. They would be hesitant to attack because they aren't sure if she still had other tricks on her sleeves. Lyca assured her parents that she would be safe even without them.
The two reluctantly left Long City wearing the new armor that Lyca made for her parents.
When her parents left, Lyca let out a sigh of relief. The news about her grandfather made her happy and a little alarmed at the same time. They cannot let anyone else know that her grandfather recovered from that poison.
....
Meanwhile, Shen Qui only stayed for a couple of hours in the mansion before he left to see Long Yi.
"I heard about everything," Long Yi was calmly sitting in a velvet chair. "Lyca was smart. But sometimes… being too smart would act as a double-edged sword." He held his tea close to his mouth. He continued, "This new technology that she created was quite dangerous. I could understand the amount of attention from the government. If she won't work with the government, they would soon label her as someone who creates weapons for mass destruction. An arrest would soon follow. They might even make it look like she was a terrorist and frame her."
Shen Qui nodded. "But I am not here to talk about those weapons… Mr. Long." Shen Qui's face wasn't showing any hint of emotion, and Long Yi hated it. He couldn't tell if Shen Qui was mocking him… or was about to kill him.
Still, Long Yi pretended calm. "To be honest… I didn't know that you were the one who was buying the shares. I thought it was another corporation based abroad." While he was seething with rage inside, Long Yi was smiling on the outside. "In fact… I always wanted to meet the owner of LS Group. To thank him." Who would have thought that he would be meeting Shen Qui instead?
The man that he looked down.
The man without any sort of unique background was now knocking on his doors. Shen Qui's very name is threatening his company! Right now, Long Yi was forcing himself to act calm and talk to him as if they were equals. This was not because he respected Shen Qui. He knew that Shen Qui only got everything because of Lyca.
He knew that Lyca was the real mastermind of this company.
Without Lyca, Shen Qui was nothing.
And Lyca was precisely the reason why he was acting like this towards him.
Shen Qui only stared at him in response. Seeing this, Long Yi continued, "I read the contract that you sent in advance, and I should say… I didn't like it. Mr. Shen, I am not sure if you are trying to look down on my company by offering such a nasty contract."
"I am looking down on your Long Company." Shen Qui said. At the end of the day, Long Company used questionable and evil methods to achieve its goals. However, a part of him was also thankful to Long Yi.
Without him… Lyca would never have agreed to marry Shen Qui. This was the reason why he told Lyca not to kill Long Yi. Shen Qui was a firm believer in Karma. He knew that the universe would always make you pay one way or the other.
Shen Qui was not some ungrateful person. He knew that Long Yi played a role in his destiny. If anything, Shen Qui also knows that Long Yi was the type of person that would ruin himself. He was ambitious without the ability. Greedy without the right strategy. Soon, Long Yi would destroy himself, and Shen Qui would just watch on the sidelines once that happens.
"You already own over thirty percent of my Long Company, and yet you say that you are looking down on us." Long Yi scoffed. If Shen Qui was looking down on them, then why buy the shares? Long Yi was laughing inwardly. He knew that Shen Qui thought the company was productive enough. That's why he wanted to own it.
"I never wanted to own your shares." Shen Qui said.
"But you— "
"Read this." Shen Qui handed another folder. "I want to acquire the Huang Security and the patent to the bullet that my wife created." Long Yi shamelessly claimed those patents, and this was making Shen Qui uncomfortable.
"Impossible!" If there was one thing that he could not give, that would be the bullet. It was basically the lifeline of the company.
"I already own sixty-seven percent of the shares. I can do whatever I want with Huang Security."
"But you are greedy enough to want the patent for the bullet," Long Yi sneered. "I can't give you that. You can have Huang Security, but the production of those bullets stays with me."
"It's defective." Shen Qui said.
"I don't believe you."
Shen Qui snorted but didn't say anything else. Long Yi used the mixture that Lyca sold to him when she was pretending to be Tang Xi. The formula itself was defective. While many mercenaries used it now, everything about this bullet would crumble once someone would know its defect. "Alright…" Shen Qui shrugged before he pressed the send button on the message that was already typed on his phone. "Then… I hope you won't regret it."
Long Yi snorted. If he regrets something, it was underestimating Shen Qui. He never thought that one day, his man would stand in here and act as his equal.
What he regrets the most was the fact that he didn't kill Shen Qui all those years ago. If he had known that this man would pose a threat to him, he would have asked his people to kill Shen Qui and even Lyca.
