Chapter 452: Indifference

Miss Park extended her hand towards Shen Qui's arms, slowly holding him as tears continued to spill from her beautiful eyes. Her lips trembled, face paled. "Aw!" Miss Park withdrew her hand when she felt a little tingling sensation that soon turned painful. She looked at the back of her palm and realized that she doesn't have any wounds.

"Are you alright? Did something happen?" Shen Qiaosong asked, worried. "What happened?"

"I — I was just — Maybe it was just me," she continued before crying again. "As I was saying… I am almost a hundred percent sure that… that he is not my father," she dragged her gaze back to Shen Qui. This time, she didn't try to hold him and just started sobbing again.

"So, he is not Mr. Park. What about the President?" Shen Qui asked. He didn't even bother to look at Miss Park and just turned his attention to Shen Qiaosong.

"I am almost a hundred percent that this President is taller than the previous one."

"You mean…"

"I think this started two years ago. I know we are of the same height. That man and I were rivals. I know all his weaknesses and strength. I am his enemy, but I can say that I know him better than anyone else in this world. And it's vice versa."

"So… the current president is taller?"

"Yes." Shen Qiaosong said. "You can change the appearance and maybe even the voice and sometimes, you can make yourself look taller. But he is not that kind of man. There is no reason that he would wear something that would enhance his height. He's got no time for that."

"No other proof?" Lyca asked. "Maybe he is in love. Some alpha males wanted to look taller when they met a woman that looked like a giant. No offense, but just like Miss Park. Most men in this country are not even five foot ten tall. Meaning, in their eyes, she is a giant."

"…"

"…"

"…" Did she just call Miss Park a giant? Shen Qiaosong wanted to reprimand Lyca for the disrespect, but he knew that wasn't possible. The woman was capable and dangerous. This was the only reason why he didn't forcibly dragged her out from the private room. Even his father warned him about her capabilities. "I am certain that he is not in love."

"Why?" Lyca asked.

"Because… Because…"

"He's gay?" All the gossip cells in Lyca jumped in excitement.

"Miss Huang… that is not the point." Miss Park said, frowning.

"Please call me Mrs. Shen." Lyca smiled at her.

"Miss Park, please ignore her, she didn't mean that." Shen Qiaosong was quick to apologize. It took him a lot of time to convince Miss Park to work with him. How could he allow Lyca to just ruin this opportunity?

"Mr. Shen… I think you misunderstood something." Shen Qui said after a few seconds of silence. "I am not interested in doing anything to the Xu Family. This affair does not concern me."

"You are a Shen. If he destroys my Shen Family, he would surely destroy you too!"

Shen Qui nodded. "Then that would be the time that I would defend myself. I am not going to do anything to— "

"Do you really want to do this?" Shen Qiaosong asked, his eyebrows snapped together as he glared at Shen Qui.

"Of course. I am clear about my actions. Your destruction does not have to do with me."

"Mr. Shen… we are here asking you to help us. Please take us seriously." Tears filled Miss Park's eyes. "My father… I think he already killed him. And I don't — I just don't think that we could do this without you."

"Unfortunate." Shen Qui snorted. "If you think you can't win, then just leave the country." Why would Shen Qiaosong and Miss Park wanted him to come here alone? At first, he thought they just didn't want his wife to know about the information. Now, he was certain Miss Park wanted to use whatever it was that she could use to attain her goal.

Too bad. Even if she undresses herself in front of him, Shen Qui would never bat an eyelid before saying no. What Shen Qui has now is just too precious. Lyca is more important than any revenge that would only beget more revenge.

It would be a never-ending cycle and he would spend all his time running around killing people instead of having fun with his wife!

That is just… a nightmare.

In fact, Shen Qui had been working really hard because he wanted to give her the life that she wanted. Then he wanted to retire at a young age and spend the rest of his life with Lyca. His dream was really simple. It's just unfortunate that many people wanted to delay his dream.

"Mr. Shen… are you really that coldhearted? I am begging— "

"Miss Park… I don't understand something." Shen Qui asked. "Why do you think I would help you out?" His gaze turned towards Shen Qiaosong. "Why do you feel that I owe you something? You two are really entitled, I almost couldn't believe that people like you exist in this world."

"You— "

"Mr. Shen… calm down. I think you've misunderstood our intention." Miss Park calmly wiped her cheek before turning her already red and swollen eyes towards Shen Qui. "We wanted your help to save this country. We wanted to change it."

Indifference.

That was the only thing that flashed in Shen Qui's eyes. Lyca and him were no heroes. Saving people is not something they are very good at. "Still… no," he answered. Shaking his head, he shifted his gaze between the two.

Still, Miss Park didn't lose any hope."Mr. Shen… please give us at least ten minutes to finish everything that we know. Then you can decide if you wanted to help us or not."

Shen Qui looked at Lyca and waited for her to nod. Lyca looked bored and if she would say that she wanted to leave, then Shen Qui wouldn't hesitate to leave these people here.
