Chapter 107: Mess

Lyca and Shen Qui continued to travel unaware that Huang Ying and the others had been in a mess because of what she did to Zhang Zhi.

"That woman was so vile!" Again, Huang Ying was crying. Just watching his son in a coma was too much for her. She couldn't understand why Lyca would hurt Zhang Zhi when the other didn't do anything to her. "She— "Her shoulders shook as she felt her younger brother's arm patted her back.

"It is natural that she would feel anger. After all, we framed her."

"Shut up!" Huang Yi screamed. "Are you saying that I was wrong in the first place?"

Huang Qingyun only shrugged in response. If Huang Ying's husband, Zhang Yulong didn't promise to invest in his business, he wouldn't dare do something like this to Lyca. He calmly sat next to his older sister and looked at Zhang Zhi's legs. 

The poison that they used were from the Long Family. Now, Lyca actually used the same— or perhaps the same type of poison to Zhang Zhi. It was as if she was telling them that she can poison them too. "You know… If I had known that we are going to be in this type of trouble now, I wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with you." As a businessman, his networks were good, and he was mostly friends with the other executives and board members of Huang Security. Because of this, Huang Ying asked for his help.

After all, this plan won't go through without the approval of the board members. "Well… it was too late to regret anything now." He actually thought that this would be easy stuff to do. Just support his sister, capture Lyca, and all is good.

The money would be his as well as all the benefits from the Huang Security. To him, this was supposed to be a win-win scenario.

"Shut up!" Huang Ying hissed. When they found Zhang Zhi outside of the passage, he already fainted, and his heartbeat was already weak. According to the doctor, they were still lucky. If they arrived ten minutes later, Zhang Zhi would have been dead.

A sigh left Huang Qingyun's lips. "Who would have thought that Lyca is too cruel?" He couldn't help but question his previous decision. If he had known that Lyca was actually this type of person, he wouldn't have done something to offend her. He would have just stayed away and minded his own business. "Now that I thought about it, she is from the Tang Family. That mother is hers… was also cruel, no?"

"I said shut it!" Seeing her son like this was not the only thing that bothered her. It was— the door of the hospital room burst open, revealing her husband's angry face followed by her eldest son Zhang Jiu. "Husband! Husband!"

"What have you done, Huang Ying?" Zhang Yulong looked at Zhang Zhi. His gaze immediately landed on his son's legs. "Explain yourself!"

"Husband… this… " Huang Ying immediately explained that it was Lyca who did this to Zhang Zhi. "That woman was truly vicious! She even had the— "

"You knew that she was with a man who could kill elites. Zhang Zhi wouldn't survive if he fought with Shen Qui. So, why did you decided to send him? Have you lost your mind?" Zhang Yulong wasn't having it. First and foremost, they were aware that Shen Qui killed the top researcher of the Long Company. He even killed all the elites that accompanied the man. Why would Huang Ying send their son to face that man?

"Husband… that… it was Lyca who— "

"Answer me! Why did you send him against those two people?" Zhang Yulong barked. Seeing his son suffer because of his wife's miscalculations were truly making him mad. It wasn't like he was underestimating Zhang Zhi. But this child was inferior to his own elder brother. When it comes to fighting Zhang Zhi was considered weak. "Did you want him to die?"

"I— Husband… he was the one who said that he wanted to go. He wanted to prove himself to Long Yi and the Long Family. I told him not to go as it can be very dangerous. That bullet alone that Lyca made was proof that she can create things that could hurt our son! However, Zhang Zhi had been very hardheaded and refused to listen to me!" When Zhang Jiu, her eldest son pulled her for a hug, Huang Ying couldn't help but started wailing. 

Seeing his wife like this, Zhang Yulong stopped asking any more questions. He knew that Zhang Zhi had the tendency to prove that he was capable too. But… did Lyca really have to go too far? "Did you know what kind of poison was used in his body?"

"The doctors have no idea," Huang Qingyun answered. "Judging from his black legs, there is a possibility that Lyca used the same poison as the one that— that my father drank."

Zhang Yulong's jaw's clenched. "That one should have some sort of antidote, yes?"

Huang Ying suddenly shook her head. "I believe it was a different poison. The effects… were pretty similar, but this one… the Doctors said that there are two different poisons in his body. One is a mild one, but when mixed with the poison on his legs, the mild one seemed to turn wild, and that caused him a lot of pain. So he fainted. His organs were fine. There were no damages, but they were still trying to determine the type of poison that was used on his body."

"That woman… is indeed very cruel," Zhang Jiu uttered, his jaws were clenched as he patted his mother's back. "However, the fact that she produced a poison just like what grandfather took was enough to amaze me." He continued. A talent like that is indeed amazing to the point of being scary. However, if they couldn't take advantage of that talent then there is no way that they would keep that woman alive.
