Chapter 246: Possessed

Six hours later.

Lyca woke up to an aching head. She squeezed her eyes shut before jolting up on the couch. Her eyes immediately found Shen Qui's bed. Shaking her head, Lyca sighed. It seems that she fell asleep on the couch while waiting for the doctors to finish checking Shen Qui. Was she that exhausted? Lyca slowly sat back down and stroke her waist. Turns out, sleeping on a couch wasn't very comfortable at all.

She then eyed the sleeping Shen Qui and smiled. Her heart was definitely happier and lighter right now that he is already awake compared to last night. A sigh left her lips. She remembered all the nonsense that she said before he woke up. Seems like a part of her didn't want to remember those words, it was like she wanted to just bury her head so she wouldn't have the chance to think about it. Lyca cringe then she used both of her hands to cover her face.

How embarrassing!

She didn't know if something possessed her, perhaps a demon? Was it a spirit? Why was she acting so weird around Shen Qui? Why was she so tense when he woke up? And most importantly, why does she sound like a lovesick fool? She felt her face turn hot. She wondered if she already looked like a tomato right now.

This is so embarrassing.

Lyca immediately stood from the couch and left the room as silent as possible. Staying in the room would only make her more and more embarrassed.

"You're awake?"

"Whoa!" Lyca jumped when she saw Ronan leaning against the wall just outside of Shen Qui's room. "Didn't see you there."

"More like you were preoccupied."

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"To talk to Q. But since you wake up first, I will tell you the update about what really happened last night."

"Did he die?"

"Who? Oh! The Mayor? No… he didn't."

The two started walking towards Shen Qui's office.

"I just wanted to inform you that the people that we found last night… were not from the Mayor but from the Zhang Family. Basically, it was a shipment gone wrong. We were there to receive some important cargo. Well… Q and I were at the club when we receive a call about some people who were trying to take the shipment. Of course, the name of the mayor was mentioned. So we initially thought it was him. Q had to personally go while I have to stay in the club. Just as they arrive, ten people ambushed them Seven died. Five of them were from the Zhang Family."

"Zhang's," Lyca uttered. "Seem like my aunt really wanted to die?"

Ronan turned silent. He followed Lyca towards Shen Qui's office and watch as she sat straight into Shen Qui's leather chair.

"I think I need to brush my teeth and take a bath before I decide on things. Or maybe not." Lyca mumbled.

"…" Ronan sighed inwardly. Yep. Lyca was definitely different from all women that he had met. However, contrary to the usual plot, Ronan decided not to fell into someone like Lyca. First, just her eyes alone were like a magnet for trouble. Totally not her type.

A crazy woman who is really unpredictable and fearless is definitely not something that he wants. "Did you just say that the Mayor survived?" Lyca asked him after a few seconds of mumbling to herself.

"Yes. He got shot. Of course, the public doesn't know about this yet. Apparently, he was shot when he had a meeting with an unknown person. Jessica was the main culprit. She had a breakdown and escaped from their mansion. Our people are already on high alert. She might try to come here. The mayor is fine. He is already awake and trying to do his best to find his daughter."

"Hmmm. What a good father." Lyca shrugged. "I think it's time that I have some conversation with him. I will visit the mayor." Lyca uttered. "Don't let Q out of here! Even if he insists or threatened to kill you and everyone don't let him out."

"He won't be able to walk yet. Not with those wounds."

"Hmph! You underestimated me." Lyca uttered.

"What does this have to do with you?" Ronan asked, confused. Alright, he really couldn't understand Lyca.

Lyca just snorted in response. Would a person like Ronan who is adept in computers and technology even believe in spiritual energy? "Just don't let him out. If you — " she squinted. "If you let him out of this place… I will shoot your crotch."

Ronan shivered when he saw Lyca's eyes. "Why the hell are you staring at me like that? And stop threatening me! What makes you think that I would be able to stop him if he insists on leaving?"

"Computers." Lyca shrugged. "I thought you are a genius? Find a way to use your computers to stop him." She rolled her eyes. "Alright, it's time that I brush my teeth and leave." She then walked out of the office and went to the master's bedroom to take a quick bath and prepare herself. Today, she would visit the mayor, and 'kindly' asked him about the Zhang Family. Then she would 'kindly' end his misery.

It is high time that Lyca cleaned this City up and make Santa the mayor. After all, they needed Santa to back them up against the Long. Of course, she wouldn't make it too obvious. Perhaps… a heart attack? Should she kill him with insulin? Or a staged suicide that would put the blame on his daughter's crazy behavior. Ah, if only they didn't touch Shen Qui.

If only, they just stayed away. They would have survived. They would surely fall from their pedestal with a wound or two but they would definitely live. However, after what they did, Lyca wasn't planning to spare them anymore.

Not when they hurt the man that she loved.

Lyca paused as she stared at her reflection. Did she just… 

Wait! Did she just think that she love Shen Qui?
