Chapter 453: A Hole in Between her Brows

"Mr. Xu is trying to make some experiments." Shen Qiaosong continued Miss Park's words. Then he opened his phone and showed it to Shen Qui and Lyca. "Humans. He is doing experiments on humans. All of my spies never made it back alive. In fact, I never saw any of their bodies. However, I was able to get some images of them throwing away piles and piles of… what looked like bodies in this area. Of course, no one can just approach the place. It's restricted."

This was something Lyca already expected. Xu Ke was someone without any conscience or empathy. Experimenting with humans was something he could easily do without batting an eyelid. She looked at Shen Qiaosong.

Seeing that he finally got Lyca's attention, Shen Qiaosong continued. "We think he is trying to do something that could destroy the world."

Destroy the world? For some reason, Lyca immediately thought of zombies.

"We think he is trying to create a medicine that could cure all illness but is failing at it. He is experimenting with people and is using some poisonous substances that are full of toxins. If you don't believe me, here is the address you can check for yourself. You can have your own investigation. Knowing the tech that you have, it should be easy for you."

Shen Qui looked at the images on the phone and just as Shen Qiaosong said, it showed images of people wearing white suits throwing what looked like bodies of people that were wrapped in body bags. He could see the tall electric gates that covered the whole dumping site.

"I also think that Ken Xu is going to kill you soon."

"Me?" Shen Qui lifted an eyebrow.

"He is asking his people to investigate you."

That was expected, Shen Qui thought about what happened on the rooftop when he appeared out of nowhere to defend Lyca. While he felt that his actions were normal, both Lyca and Xu Ke showed surprise. It was like they didn't know he was there.

Well… isn't that because he tried to hide his presence? He recalled every word that Lyca told him about her past life, and he knew about the breathing technique that could almost make her invisible in the dark. It wasn't just the breathing technique, but the wind and timing.

He learned it from Lyca's stories and used it that night.

"If you help us, we will naturally— "

"Still no." This time, Lyca answered. "We're not helping you." She smiled and finished her tea before she stood and looked at Shen Qui. "Sleepy."

"Miss Huang… please don't make any conclusions yet. Mr. Shen promised that he would say something about the Huang Family." In her desperate attempt to convince them, Miss Park chose to lay her last cards. "Mr. Shen… please allow me to tell them what I know."

"You have two minutes." Lyca took her seat back and stared at Miss Park.

"Well… I think your uncle is just like Ken Xu. I think Huang Qingyun is… just like him."

"…" He is an alien too? Lyca pursed her lips. Huang Qingyun never showed any interest in the Huang Family before. Lyca thought of him as just someone indifferent to everything. Of course, this changed when she knew that it was Huang Qingyun who poisoned her grandfather.

Since then, Huang Qingyun became a very mysterious man to Lyca. He is not like Huang Li Duo, who was stupid and kept on trying to approach Lyca. He was just waiting for them, watching them from afar.

To Lyca, a smart like this is more dangerous than a hundred Huang Li Duo and Huang Ying.

"Please allow me to explain." Miss Park gulped. "Mr. Huang is someone that— "

Lyca frowned as she turned towards their left. In her eyes, it looked like the world stopped spinning as her heart skipped a beat. Then she looked at the talking Miss Park and into Shen Qui, who sat next to her. "Down!" Lyca said. Her first instinct made her hugged Shen Qui and pulled him to the ground.

Then the first sound of a bullet hitting someone interrupted the tense atmosphere. It was followed by the sound of the glass scattering into smaller pieces, then Shen Qiaosong's scream. "MISSS PARK!"

Lyca and Shen Qui instantly found a place to hide themselves from the sniper. They met each other's eyes before looking at Miss Park who was now lying on the floor. Blood pooled around her. It was clearly from the hole in between her brows. Her opened eyes still showed the surprise that she felt when she heard Lyca's words. It was a clean hit.

Lyca clenched his jaw as Shen Qiaosong followed their lead and found a place to hide himself.

"He is — on the building," Lyca said.

Shen Qui nodded and opened his phone to call Ronan, informing him to check the CCTV. Then he called the police, making them know about what happened.

…..

"I didn't notice the bullet." Shen Qiaosong's face was serious. "I didn't notice the sniper." He thought of Lyca's reaction before the shooting and found it weird. His people said that the shooter was on the twenty-first floor of the building across them. There is no way that Lyca would know about it unless… she was the one who paid the man to kill Miss Park.

But why?

Why would she try to kill Miss Park? Was it because she was trying to talk about someone from the Huang Family?

Shen Qiaosong felt frustrated. He tightened his hand around his glass of whiskey. Right after they were taken to the police, Lyca and Shen Qui left the station after a few minutes while he had to stay to answer some more questions because he was the one who invited Miss Park for the meeting.

Because of this, he didn't have the chance to talk to Lyca and asked her about it.

"I will go and see them." Shen Qiaosong said. "I needed to talk to her."

"It's close to midnight!" Old Man Shen said. "Can't you— "

"No. I have to do it now! I won't be able to sleep without knowing the truth!"
