"You poisoned them?" Everyone in the room stilled when they heard Lyca's calm words. Even Chu Munan and Chu Nan turned quiet and stared at Lyca. Seeing this, Cleo continued, "Are you telling me that you poisoned someone from the Shen Clan?"
"That's expected. He tried to attack her." Ronan calmly said. "The Shen's are shameless and think that just because they have the money, no one could hurt them." There was a dangerous glint in his eyes. "By the way, everything is set. Cleo will wear the wig and go north to the Chu Family's house. I already arranged everything. The private plane is ready too."
Lyca nodded and eyed Shen Qui, then the two left to prepare. This time, they are going to hit first strike while Xu Ke haven't completed the armors.
The first part of the plan is to go and see Huang Ying. Lyca wanted to confirm that Huang Qingyun was the one who did it to her. Once that is already confirmed, then Lyca was planning to keep her family safe. She knew that Xu Ke would soon approach her. This time, he might use her family again.
So, Lyca wanted to prepare.
The first thing that they did was to create a diversion. They needed them to think that Lyca was in the north while she ran around and create a trap for Xu Ke.
"How do I look?" she asked after putting on a cap that would hide almost half of her face. Not that it matters, Lyca added a lot of prosthetics to change her appearance. Even her hair was no longer white. It was black.
She looked at Shen Qui before turning around. "Perfect, right?" she asked.
"Beyond perfection."
"Stop lying!" she playfully slapped him and grabbed her gears.
"What did you want me to say? If I call you ugly, you will kill me, right?"
"Does that mean, I am ugly?"
"What? Of course not!"
The two bantered as the other people inside the office weren't there. Everyone was staring at them, flabbergasted.
"Alright… we are ready! Let's go!" Lyca said almost excitedly. Right now, they will leave the place at the same time and just use a ten-second blind spot in the airport cameras to leave the place.
….
Meanwhile, the Shen Family is not as excited as Lyca. Everyone in the room was quiet. Everyone in the room was staring at the man wearing white who was supposed to say something about the poison.
"Say something!" Old Man Shen barked, impatience laced his tone. "What is it? Can we create something, an antidote? I am willing to pay!"
"Patriarch… I apologize, but I have never seen this type of poison before."
"What?"
"This… this isn't really considered poison. I don't think we can call it that. I didn't find anything weird in their bodies aside from the rapid production of white blood cells that would stop every time they drink the medicine."
"What does that mean?"
"While having an elevated or abnormally high white blood cell count does not necessarily indicate leukemia, the source of the condition will need to be identified if it is found to exceed the levels and duration of a normal immune response to an infection. I already tested their blood and they don't have leukemia or any other infection in their systems. I just couldn't understand why their body is producing too many white blood cells as if they are fighting an infection."
"You mean… you can't find what's wrong? How is that possible? Are you still a doctor? How could you not diagnose what's wrong with them?"
"Father… maybe she was just bluffing?"
"Bluffing? You wanted to strangle her! You think she would bluff you? If you wanted to strangle me, I would have killed you immediately. But she is keeping you and Jiaojiao alive. Do you know why?" Silence followed the old man's words. "Because she needed us to do something! She is going to use you!"
"Father… I— "
"I told you not to go there! I told you! But you didn't listen to me! You think too highly of yourself! You never listened to my opinions anymore!"
"Grandfather… please... Let's not blame, father. She was just angry. We always knew he is like this."
"You are all stupid!" Old Man Shen raised his palms before slamming them to the wooden table. "I want you to do all types of examinations to know what is wrong with them!"
"Yes, sir!"
"You — tell me… where is Lyca now?"
"Patriarch… just a few minutes ago, she left Kong City with Shen Qui and her friends. The ranch is already under lockdown with the highest security. Anyone who approached the place will be killed."
"What?" The line in between old man Shen's brows deepened. "She just declared war against us then she immediately ran away to the Chu Family? Did she think they could save her? Someone call Old Man Chu!"
"Father… if we really hurt Lyca, what if the antidote…"
The loud vibration interrupted the meeting. Everyone turned towards Old Man Shen's phone on top of the table.
[Hello?]
[Old Man Shen… its Lyca.]
"You— "
[This is a prerecorded message. Meaning, I won't hear your curses.] She snorted before she continued. [Put it on speaker. I know you're not alone.]
Old Man Shen's hands tremble with rage as he complied.
[The poison in your son and granddaughter's body is deadly. Not even the top doctors would be able to detect it. I suggest they check the brains. The hormones will become abnormal as well as the cells. I don't know the exact effect of the poison since I haven't tested it on any humans before. ]
It was as if the temperature inside the room turned colder. What does she mean by that? Did she just treat them as lab rats?
[No. I am not thinking that they are lab rats. They don't look like one. ]
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
[Anyway, I called you because I want to inform you that this isn't my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame your son. He is stupid and hopelessly in love with a woman half her age. Of course, in real love, age doesn't matter.]
"This woman…"
"Shhh… Shut up!" Old Man Shen hissed.
[I am going to visit you and your family. You can, of course, set up a trap. Once I am captured, I will not hesitate to blow up my body. You won't get any information from me and your precious son and granddaughter would die a miserable death. Watching them suffer when you have all the money in the world would be heartbreaking. But that's not the point of this call.]
[I called because I wanted you to know that Shen Qui is mine. He is my family. Not yours. I am not planning to share him. Stop with this we have the same blood running in our veins bullshit. If he will tell me to kill everyone in the Shen Family, I would gladly do it without batting an eyelid. And I know he would do the same too.]
[My husband does not owe you anything. As proof that I am not just threatening you… I put a poisonous gas bomb in one of your companies. You have two minutes to find it.]
[Also... you can try to go after my family, and I will make all your companies explode. I have my eyes on you. See you soon.]
Beep.
