Chapter 204: Victorious Smile

"Don't point your gun on me." Lyca's face darkened.

"Hey, Jingyi… we are only talking. What are you doing?" Tang Ruyi immediately stood. "Stop it!" She tried to move her cousin's arms away from Lyca's head but the latter seemed to engrossed in his own anger, he actually had his finger on the trigger. "Jingyi! Stop it! This is a misunderstanding!"

"What was he doing to you? Did he try to touch you?"

"Jingyi! What are you talking about? I already told you— "

"Then why were you on the floor? You looked pale and scared! Tell me honestly! Did he scare you? I can blow his f*ucking heads off in a few seconds."

Lyca snorted when she heard his words then she suddenly grabbed the gun and pulled it towards her forehead. "You wanna shoot me?" she taunted. "Go ahead." Right now, the cold barrel of the gun was in the middle of her forehead. 

"Tang Xi— " Tang Ruyi panicked. She didn't know if Lyca was going overboard with her acting but she immediately blamed herself for what was about to happen. When Lyca told her that make Tang Xi looked a little evil, she wrote a lot of stuff about Tang Xi as a womanizing killer. He loves women and viewed them as a part of his daily life. Of course, he was very picky and does not like women who throw themselves at him. "Tang Jingyi… stop it!" 

"What?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow. Her lips slowly lifted into a mocking smile. Seeing the hesitation in Tang Jingyi's eyes, Lyca suddenly made a move. She grabbed the latter's wrist and twisted it before he directly grabbed the gun away from the man. Then he stood and pointed the gun back to Tang Jingyi's head. "See that? That's what you get for hesitating."

"Tang Xi… stop it." Tang Ruyi uttered, and Lyca only snorted in response.

"You want to kill me inside the Tang Residence?"

"You think… I wouldn't dare kill anyone here?" Lyca taunted him. "Next time you point your gun at someone make sure you have the intention of killing them." She hissed. "Or you will end up dead." She lowered the gun, removed its magazine, and make sure that there was no bullet inside before slamming it on the man's chest. "If I am planning to do something to Ruyi, did you think she would have the chance to fight me?" She uttered, making sure to sound as cocky as possible. Seeing Tang Jingyi opened his mouth and closed it again without saying anything, she snorted and walked past him, making sure to bump into the latter's shoulders. Of course, Tang Jingyi was taller than Lyca, even when she was already wearing her special shoes but that didn't mean anything to her. The height difference does not mean he was stronger than her.

She took a step away towards the door as a smile formed on her lips. Would the man finally crack? Knowing her cousin, Tang Jingyi would soon act against her.

"Tang Xi!"

Lyca immediately stopped walking when she heard Tang Jingyi's words. She was already expecting this. She erased the smile on her face before she turned towards the man, and as expected, the first thing that she saw was the empty gun flying towards her face. She sidestepped and avoided the gun, her eyes were already towards the man whose fist was targeting her jaw.

Surprised at Tang Jingyi's actions, Lyca took a step back, just avoiding the fist by a few centimeters.

"Jingyi! Stop it! What are you doing!?" Tang Ruyi pulled the man. "How dare you try to hurt someone from the Tang Family?"

Tang Jingyi glared at Lyca before his gaze landed on Tang Ruyi. "If you think I would let anyone take one of my cousins away from this family again… you are wrong. This man is only a Tang by blood! He is hostile and dangerous! He could kill you anytime he wanted to!"

"Jingyi you— "

"I am not watching as another one of my little sisters suffer! Now shut up and let me teach this man a lesson!" He bellowed before he advanced towards Lyca's way. Then he let go of another kick. 

However, this time, Lyca was prepared. She pivoted and dodged the kick before she finally retaliated. A dagger was already in Lyca's hand as she swiftly moved behind the man. Using his knees, Lyca hit tang Jingyi's hamstring muscle. While the attack didn't sound scary or deadly, it was surprisingly enough to make Tang Jingyi lose his balance and ended up falling on the floor. 

But who was Tang Jingyi? The man was also an expert in hand to hand combat, and the fact that he was already on the floor was not enough to stop him from attacking Lyca. Sadly for him, Lyca was already so familiar with all of his moves, she could practically fight him while her eyes were closed. 

Without waiting for him to recover, Lyca jumped towards Tang Jingyi, straddling him as her dagger pressed against his neck. "Move… or you're dead." She hissed, eyes narrowed as her chest raised and fell. Lyca couldn't remember when was the last time she had fought with this cousin of hers, but she was certain of one thing. He was still using the same techniques to fight a smaller person like her.

This needed to change.

Or this would put the man in danger soon. 

"You dare?" Tang Jingyi never expected that a criminal like Tang Xi would be this crafty. Using a dagger to immediately threatened him? This man was indeed a killer!

"Tang Jingyi… if you really want Tang Ruyi to be safe then… why don't you escort me as I visit Long City?" Lyca uttered. "With you around me all the time, I am sure that I wouldn't be able to do something filthy, right?"

"You— you wanted me to be your personal guard?"

Lyca didn't hide the victorious smile on her face. "Of course. Or would you want Ruyi to accompany me all the time?"
