Chapter 198: Betrayal

"Mr. Long… I believe you are delusional." Huang Sheng Hong uttered. A relaxed expression was still on his face. "You highly underestimated my daughter."

"No. I am not underestimating her, in fact, I think too highly of her and that's why I wanted to deal with her as soon as possible. She already cost us a few million. Her death would benefit nothing but us."

"Eh?" the smile on Huang Sheng Hong's face vanished. He stared at him, his face stern. "You think… you can kill her? You can't even find her and you think you can kill her?" He cackled. "How foolish." He didn't hide the disgust in his voice as he crossed his left leg over his right.

"You think we can't find her? The only reason why we stopped looking is that we thought she would save herself and just leave us alone. Who would have thought, she would actually send a letter from abroad? Isn't that something a stupid person would do?"

"Exactly." Huang Sheng Hong nodded. "That is something a stupid person would do. And everyone who believed that my daughter was this stupid, is nothing but a clown." Slowly, he leaned forward. "Now… now… did you really think she was like that?"

Long Yi frowned. "You can stop bluffing. She had been away for too long. The only reason why she was trying to come back now was that she already lacked the funds to survive outside of this country."

"Or the opposite. But you can tell yourself whatever you like." Huang Sheng Hong beamed. "After all… I am just a nobody, sitting inside this prison without any knowledge of what was happening outside of the company."

And that's when it hit Long Yi. He froze and stared straight into the old man's eyes. Huang Sheng Hong… knew everything! He didn't seem to surprise about the words that he said, his threats, and even Long Yi coming to this place. The man looked calm and collected.

One word immediately came to his mind.

SPIES.

But who could it be? Huang Xiaoxuan? Her father? Huang Ying? Just the thought of someone from the Huang Family spying on them, made him cursed inwardly. Now that he thought about it, Huang Sheng Hong had been here all along. How could he be so calm? Even if he mentioned Lyca's name, the old man only lifted an eyebrow and laughed at him. It was as if… Huang Sheng Hong was certain his daughter was safe.

"What's wrong… Mr. Long? Did you realize something important?" Again, Huang Sheng Hong lifted an eyebrow, a smirk was on his face as he taunted the young man. Huang Sheng Hong could only laugh inwardly as he watched Long Yi's face flushed with anger then, confusion then irritation. How could he not enjoy tormenting such a stupid person?

Huang Sheng Hong was aware that the Long Family were ambitious, and they would do everything to achieve what they want. Of course, there was nothing wrong with being ambitious. However, you have to have the brains for you to succeed and attain whatever it was that you want. Sadly, this man doesn't have one.

In the Long Family… the only person who had the right to call himself a little smart was Patriarch Long. This Long Yi was nothing but a clown. Huang Sheng Hong wondered if Patriarch Long was really planning on leaving the Long Family to this clown. Wasn't that akin to shooting himself on the foot?

Huang Sheng Hong laughed when he saw Long Yi stood from his seat. "Leaving so soon? I have been here for a long time… I wanted to talk to someone. Why don't you stay for a couple of minutes? Maybe we can have some fun playing chess?"

"I know that there is a spy in the company and I will find out who it was. Then I will let you watch as I make that person suffer?" When he saw the surprise on Huang Sheng Hong's face, Long Yi immediately gave the old man a victorious smile. Did he really think that he couldn't figure it out?

"So…" Huang Sheng Hong frowned, his eyes never left Long Yi's face. "So… you are telling me that you only figure this out… because I gave you the clue?" He widened his eyes before laughing out loud. "You— You looked so proud that you figure this all out after what? A year of me being here?"

Long Yi paled. He balled his hands into fists as he glared at Huang Sheng Hong. "You— "

"Young man… I am telling you." He leaned back and sent Long Yi a dashing smile. "You won't win. Not against me… and my family."

Long Yi only snorted. "Let's see about that." He hissed before he strode out of Huang Sheng Hong's place. Every time Long Yi came here, Huang Sheng Hong would not fail in using his tactics in trying to embarrass him. Did he think that would work on Long Yi forever? He knew Huang Sheng Hong only wanted him to get angry so he would divert his attention away from the spies.

With this in mind, Long Yi dialed a number on his phone. "I want you to investigate Huang Xiaoxuan's phone and emails. I want you to put some cameras in her office, GPS in her car, and follow her around." He said before he ended the call without even waiting for the man to answer him.

First and foremost, Long Yi was now aware that Lyca helped Huang Xiaoxuan slept with him all those years ago. This only meant that the two had some secret relationship that they don't want people to know. Too bad for Huang Xiaoxuan… he doesn't tolerate betrayal. 

Once he found out that the woman was actually supplying information to Lyca, he wouldn't hesitate to make her suffer even if she is pregnant with their child.
