Chapter 111: Tang Nini

"Laws are made to make the world a better place. But in the end, they won't save you," Lyca shrugged as she looked at the vial in her hand. She completely understood where Shen Qui was coming from. He was, after all, a man who was trained to follow the rules. She, on the other hand, was trained not to let the rules stop her. 

She put the vial next to the thin mattress that they were using before she stood and started changing her clothes. They were only going to stay in this place for a night. Enough for her to put the poison on the school's water system.

"What does it do anyway? Is it like going to make everyone sick and die?" he asked.

"I am not a murderer," She shrugged at her own hypocrite words. She was a murderer, but she doesn't really kill anyone that doesn't offend her. "Stomach ache." She answered. "Enough for them to declare an emergency and shut down the school."

"People don't drink from faucets you know. They have bottled water and soft drinks in a can for that."

"Who told you that these ones needed to go to their drink?" She eyed her as she finished putting on a bra. "This is not a bacteria. It's a poison that won't show its effects in the next few days. Everyone who would use their water system would suffer from its effects."

"How?"

She shrugged in response. "Wounds and respiratory." She answered.

"And if someone doesn't have any wounds in their skins?"

"First and foremost, it applies to any skin opening. If they use the water to brush their teeth and their gums bleed, then the poison would enter their body. If they have a small pimple, and they wash their face, then the poison will enter their body."

"I— I didn't know that poison like that— " If something like this gets in the hands of the government, Shen Qui couldn't imagine its possible effects. 

"I know," Lyca uttered. "I only have one poison like this. I am not planning to make another one again." She could make one, but it would be best that she keep it a secret.

"Are you sure you are going alone?" He asked when Lyca started wearing another one of her all-black attire.

"Hmmm." She nodded. Moving in the dark was something that she was very good at. "Give me one hour." She finished tucking some daggers on her boots and kissed him. Then she grabbed the vial and said, "I will see you later."

....

"I want you to call your daughter now," Huang Ying gave a phone to Huang Sheng Hong, her face was morphed into an ugly scowl as she continued. "My son is fighting for his life and the doctors said that we needed an antidote or he will die!"

"And? What does it have to do with me?" Huang Sheng Hong's lips lifted into a smile. "Is he my son?"

"You— "

"Older brother… Lyca was the one who did this to Zhi'er. I suggest that you— "

"How did you know it was Lyca? Did you see her do it?" He interrupted Huang Qingyun.

"Stop being so shameless and do it now!"

"Elder Sister… " Huang Sheng Hong snorted. "Did you think this would happen when you tried to poison our own father?"

"You— "

"You see… this is how you were wrong." Tang Nini chimed in. She was calmly sitting next to her husband. She met Huang Ying's angry eyes and smiled. "Chemicals and poisons are very dangerous stuff. You cant just offend someone who can use the air to kill you and your whole family."

"Are you threatening me?"

"I don't know… Ying. Am I?" Tang Nini sent her a provocative smile. "Oh no… no… you are not going to touch me." She shook her head when she saw Huang Ying raised her hand to slap her. "You don't want to break your arms, do you?" Despite her words. Tang Nini's voice was gentle and soft.

"Tang Nini! How dare you say that to me! I am still the elder sister of your husband! This is completely disrespectful."

"Did you think about respect when you poison father?" Tang Nini countered. "I don't know about you Ying, but I always respect people who deserved my respect. The fact that you are older and yet, I don't respect you says a lot about the kind of person that you are." 

Her sharp tongue was enough to render Huang Ying and everyone else speechless. Everyone here knew that Tang Nini came from a military family. They also knew she was trained in martial arts and was an expert marksman. But she hated showing off and was always calm around them. 

The only thing that made Tang Nini react was when someone flirted with her husband. However, this time, Tang Nini actually insulted Huang Ying with her direct words. "You know… when you planned to frame my daughter, you should have known that she wasn't the type to sit down and wait for you to strike her, right? Or did you really see my daughter as a very stupid person? Did you think she was as mentally challenged as your son?"

"You— "

"Zhang Zhi is dumb." Tang Nini continued, the smile on her lips never left as she enjoyed watching Huang Ying's angry face. "If he was not dumb, then he should have known that Lyca would surely use him to get back to the people who framed her He was nothing but a useless piece of trash. You should just let him die."

When Tang Nini saw Huang Ying's face turned so red as if it was about to burst, she elegantly laughed as she uncrossed her legs. Then she added, "Stupid people don't have a place in this world Huang Ying. They would die early. So, here's a harmless suggestion. You go back to the hospital, pull the plug on your son, then cry and pray." She nodded as if she just said the best idea to Huang Ying. "Pray that Lyca won't go after the other members of your family."

"Because she would come back. And it would be nasty," Tang Nini ended before she took a sip of her tea and turned her head towards the magazine in her hand. "We won't escort you out. Take care on your way to the door."
