And by soon, Lyca meant in the next few months.
The sky is changing and the power will soon change too.
After a few days of being holed up in her laboratory, Lyca finally emerged looking like a zombie. Her face was pale, eyes red with dark bags that could rival Lai Su's. She let out a yawn and immediately fell asleep even before Shen Qui could start scolding her.
When she woke up the next day, Lyca had to endure being lectured about the reasons younger people die easily. She knew she was at fault and locking but she just locked the laboratory because she was tackling a serious type of chemicals from a venom that they just acquired abroad. She was planning to separate the components of the venom, and she didn't want anyone disturbing her — not even Shen Qui.
In the end, Shen Qui sighed. Helplessness flashing in his eyes. The current Lyca was too different from the Lyca a few days before he got this injury. No matter how much he looked at it, this Lyca was a bit more serious and cold than the nonchalant Lyca that he knew. Of course, he knew this was because of what happened to him.
This was because he was too careless and fell into the trap created by his enemies.
"You are supposed to meet Chu Nan today," he said while giving her a cup of coffee.
"Yes. Do you want to come with me?" Lyca said.
"I still have some things to attend to." Shen Qui gave a wry smile. This time, he wasn't in a rush to involve himself in Lyca's matter. He already learned his lesson. Trusting her to do her own business was still better than trying to shield her from the world. "Of course, I can go there if you insist." He smiled. Right now, their company is already open for investors and he is working on expanding the restaurants in other cities near the capital, so he was truly busy.
"Tell me about the Clint Family," Lyca said. She didn't have the time to ask these questions when she got out of the lab because she was truly tired and just fell asleep immediately.
"They accepted defeat and agreed to leave the city."
"You made them leave?"
"With compensation."
Lyca snorted. "And the spies?"
"Done. It's only been a few days since I woke up and a lot of things already happened. However, the Chu Family is still holding on. They think that Chu Nan is planning to do something against us." Shen Qui just shrugged. He already knew that the Chu Family would value benefits more than a mere side branch who can give them nothing but trouble.
"Then this is good." Lyca finished her coffee and bid Shen Qui goodbye. She then brought Ma Ping with her to meet with Chu Nan.
The meeting was in a secluded cafe in the territory. This was one of the cafes that Shen Qui owned. Surprisingly, both Chu Nan and Lyca didn't bring any security with them today.
"Miss Xi, you surprised me." Chu Nan smiled, his handsome appearance gave off a gentle vibe. "At first I honestly believed that Miss Xi didn't kill Young Master Zar. It seems that I made a mistake."
Lyca only smiled. Taking a sip of her tea, she waited for him to continue.
"Honestly, until now I couldn't understand how did you melt their body. I would assume it was some sort of chemical? But a chemical as strong as that would surely leave some acrid and strong smell. However, when I got inside the room, there were no traces of smell. May I know what did you use this time?"
"No," she answered almost immediately.
"Then… shall I assume that this is Miss Xi's scheme to attract my attention?"
Lyca lifted an eyebrow. Who would have thought that this Mr. Chu had this narcissistic side too? At least it made man more human.
"I would take the silence as a yes." Chu Nan chuckled, a small dimple appearing on his left cheek. This Chu Nan looked so different from the previous one that Lyca met at the club. Even their actions and the way they speak are different. "But then again, you already have an excellent man by your side. This is making me doubt your true intention. I am sure you are not so fond of me, so I can only assume that you wanted to attract my attention because of my Chu Family, yes?"
Again Lyca didn't respond. She stared at Chu Nan, studying his facial expressions. Then Lyca squinted before she snorted. "Who are you?" she asked. Almost immediately, the smile on the man's face froze.
"I am Chu Nan of the Chu— "
"Bullshit," Lyca said, her tone calm. "Give me an honest answer or don't expect to leave this place alive."
The man stared at her for a few seconds before he gave a low chuckle. "My… My… it seems that I totally underestimated Miss Xi? Or shall I call you Miss Huang?"
"Name."
"Alright… Just take it easy. I didn't come here for a fight. I am unarmed and I have no security personnel. I am no match for a killer like this. I called Chu Munan, I am Chu Nan's twin brother. I arrived here with him." Lyca didn't miss the dangerous glint in the man's eyes.
"And you are here to represent the Chu Family?"
"Ah? I have never met a woman as direct as you. I was expecting that you would act like a weak little miss in front of me. Turns out, you are this direct. Again, I misjudged you."
"Answer," Lyca coldly said.
"Yes. To answer your question. Yes, I am the representative of the Chu Family. I am here to ask you what you want."
Lyca only smiled. When it comes to wealth, the Chu Family could actually rival the Shen and Xu Family. However, instead of focusing on politics, the family focused on earning wealth. "I want to cooperate with your family," Lyca said.
