"She can't see us, right?" Xu Jihan shivered and handed the tactical binoculars in his hand. "Right?"
Ken Xu just shrugged in response. He handed the binoculars back to his cousin. "There is a possibility that she could see us."
"How?" Xu Jihan asked, panicked laced his voice. They were about two hundred meters away from Lyca. It was already nighttime, and they were wearing dark clothes. They didn't have anything that could attract any attention as they watched everything happening on the road.
Again, Ken shrugged and stood. "We're leaving," his voice was as stern as his expression.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jihan asked. "Don't worry, even if she asked them, they wouldn't be able to tell her anything. They don't know that I was the one who paid them. Every transaction was anonymous. All they knew was that I am another arms dealer from Du Country." He followed Ken towards the car a couple of meters away from them. "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous. No need to worry. We can always have access to the armor on the exhibit." He sat in the driver's seat and watched as a few police cars approached Lyca and everyone else.
"I am not worried about that," Ken said, jaws clenched.
Seeing his cousin's face, Xu Jihan decided not to say anything else as he started the car. "Where to?"
"I want to attend Old General Tang's birthday days from now."
"Huh?"
"You want to see Lyca as Ken?"
"Yes." Ken Xu nodded. Slowly, a smile appeared on his face. "Yes, I will see Lyca as Ken."
Xu Jihan pursed his lips as he nodded.
The two soon disappeared in the dark.
...
Meanwhile, Lyca was in a terrible mood.
She felt that every time she came to Long City, her mood would always become bad. This meant that staying in this place would only drain her energy.
"So they just exploded on their own?" The police who sat in front of Lyca asked. His gaze was gentle, the exact opposite of his loud and irritating voice.
"Yes… like robots," Lyca answered. "Are they robots?"
"And you didn't do anything to make them explode? No chemicals? Nothing?"
"I have the right to remain silent," Lyca said and closed her eyes. She hated doing stuff with witnesses because of the fact that she needed to sit here for a couple of hours until her lawyers would save her from this hell hole.
Lyca already asked these people to give her something that would make her comfortable. Food, a lovely sofa, or a reclining chair. But these people just let her sit in this damn chair with nothing but a table and a massive mirror in front of her. Lyca really felt this is irritating!
"You shot the man's legs, and he is now in a coma."
Lyca rolled her eyes. "Mr. Police officer, I am a small, vulnerable woman wearing a dress and high heels. Did you really think I wouldn't defend myself if strange people would try to kill me?"
"I am the one asking questions here," the man said, unimpressed. True, Lyca was small, but he already saw the dashcam. She was clearly talking to the man before he lost consciousness and was calmly staring at people's burnt corpses.
That wasn't something that innocent people do. No, in fact, most innocent people won't get blocked by an army of mercenaries.
"Miss Huang?"
A man wearing a three-piece suit walked inside the room. "Don't say anything else. You are free to go." He handed a stack of paper to the cop and smiled at Lyca. In response, Lyca nodded at Ronan and left the room with him.
"Where's he?" she asked.
"In the car."
"Parents?"
"Safe and sound."
"Good Job."
"Thanks."
"But you are not my lawyer."
"No." Ronan shook his head. "Your lawyer is already on his way home. Don't worry about that. Worry about the fact that people are already asking about the reason for the explosion. They think you did something to those people. This way…"
"Not on the front door?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow when Ronan led her towards the exit.
"Reporters are in the front. They are crazy for a story. They think it might be magic."
Lyca nodded. She couldn't blame them. Chemistry is really akin to magic.
After Lyca walked inside the hummer, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her husband safe and sound. The reunion fueled a fiery kiss and a long comforting hug. Not long after, the group arrived in the mansion just as her parents arrived in another hummer.
"Your car… we will retrieve it as soon as possible." Shen Qui said. "People are showing interest, and they are asking questions. After all… you are not working for the government. Producing weapons like this is just… dangerous and definitely illegal." Even if you are defending yourself.
That was the sad reality.
Lyca stayed silent as she cursed Xu Ke inwardly. The man was still cunning and dangerous as ever. She lowered her guard for a few hours, and she already fell into the man's trap.
Ken Xu wanted her to work with the Xu Family. He deliberately attacked her in a place and time where she had to choose between showing her secrets and saving her parents and husband. Xu Ke knew how much she valued her family. Just like in the past.
That's why he used them against her.
This put her in a very tight spot.
This only meant that Xu Ke already knew that she was his past lover.
Lyca squinted. This meant that his next action would be showing up on her grandfather's birthday. This would cement the rumors about Lyca working with the Xu Family. In this lifetime and the last, Xu Ke was still the same. He would do everything to benefit him.
Even if Lyca didn't do anything to offend him. Even if she was careful with her actions and acted differently. That man still dared to trap her.
How despicable!
