Chapter 271: No Money, No Food

Sadly, they totally underestimated Lyca's schemes.

"Tell me the damages!" Chu Yuyan immediately asked. "The amount." Of course, she would focus on the number of diamonds that were stolen. The biggest stores store millions of diamonds that are going to be used in the black market. After all, most transactions in the black market can only be one using diamonds as currency. "Speak!"

"Young Miss… we haven't checked the amount first. When I got there and discovered that the special vault had been damaged, I immediately came here to report it."

"The special vault you say?" This vault was something that was made with the hardest metals on this planet. Moreover, the security in the vault itself was already considered the best of the best! How did it happen? "How come no one knows that someone was robbing us? I mean, what about the alarms?"

"Everything was broken. It wasn't working. The retinal scan, the fingerprint scanner, and even the lasers were turned off. My guess is… an expert in computer partnered with a professional thief. They must have been planning to do this for a long time now!"

Chu Yuyan's face turned ugly. If that is the case, then the culprit might not have been Lyca! But who could it be? Who would dare rob them in their territory? Professionals? Hacker? Who would dare do that to their Chu Family?

"Young Mis there is also another thing."

"What is it?"

"They— They actually left the CCTV that was focused to the vault on. It — It allowed us to see who entered and left the vault."

"And?"

"Well… they were wearing some sort of a pig mask. Six people entered and it was led by a woman. Young Miss, I happen to know someone very good at burglary. And I— "

"Direct to the point!"

"That person is rumored to be connected to Lord Olfan!" the man said in one go. "No one really saw her and she was very good in stuff like this. She is considered the best of the best. But she vanished a few years back."

"Vanish?"

"Rumor has it that she left Lord Olfan's side."

This only deepened the frown on Chu Yuyan's face. Why would someone who used to work with Lord Olfan steal an extravagant amount of diamonds from the Chu Family? Unless…. Lord Olfan reunited with this thief? Slowly, Chu Yuyan's eyes widened, her face paled. Just as their people suffered from Lyca's blow, Lord Olfan actually betrayed them!

That man kicked them while they were done because he knew that they would be too weak to retaliate. Lord Olfan is a ruthless existence in this City. It was already known that he isn't someone that anyone could trust as he would immediately defeat someone for benefits! That man simply had no morals, no emotions, and definitely no conscience!

Chu Yuyan gritted her teeth, anger boiled within her. That man actually betrayed them at this very crucial moment! Is that why he refused to answer any of her and her mother's call?

"Alright, take me to the biggest shop!"Chu Yuyan said. She already asked her mother to take some sleeping pills and let her handle this matter. Chu Yuyan fell into silence as her people took her to the biggest shop so she could see the video for herself. Now that she thought about it, the robbery happened a few hours after their people died in Lyca's hands.

She refused to believe that Shen Qui and Lyca would have the time to rob them for retaliation. After all, it would only make that woman look bad. Shen Qui already promised that he would protect the businesses in this area. If he would steal from Matriarch Chu then he would definitely lose the trust that most people have for him. And this would only shake Shen Qui's empire!

Meaning, the only person that could do this was definitely that Lord Olfan!

After Chu Yuyan arrived in the Shop, she immediately examined the CCTV. Just as her people said, everything was indeed very professional. From their outfit to their signs and even their actions. Everything seemed really precise like they have been practicing for a long time.

"Young Miss, A certain Miss Xi is waiting for you outside, she said she had a clue about the stolen goods."

These words were enough to silence the thoughts in Chu Yuyan's mind. Slowly, her face turned ugly. Was that woman here to mock the Chu Family? This only made her more irritated. Was that woman here to laugh at their losses? Was she going to mock them for being betrayed by Lord Olfan?

Chu Yuyan squinted her head as she walked out of the store and into the hummer that was parked a few steps outside of the entrance.

"Miss Chu!' Lyca's enthusiastic voice welcomed her the moment she stepped foot inside the car. 

"Why are you here?"

"My, what's with your tone? I am only here because I am— "

"Quit the bullshit! Are you going to mock me for being betrayed by that damnable Olfan? Then go head! Mock all you want!" Chu Yuyan's face turned so red, she already looked like a tomato. "Go ahead and laugh all you want!"

"Aish… Miss Chu. I am really here because I have a kind heart." Lyca shook her head. "I actually had information about the stolen stuff. But it seems that the Chu Family doesn't want my help. It's fine. I understand. Let's just— "

"Do you really have information about those people?"

"Of course! Did you forget? I rule this territory now. I know the ins and outs of this place like the back of my palm," she boasted. 

"Why would I trust you? You just killed almost fifty people from the Chu Family a few hours ago!"

"My! It seems that Miss Chu harbors a lot of anger towards me." Lyca dramatically shook her head. "Just think about it. This robbery would definitely affect my territory! If we don't recover the goods then people would not trust me anymore and might move their business out of the territory. What would happen to me?" she gave the woman a gentle smile. "No more people means no more money. No more money means no more food. No more food means, I might starve. Do you see the importance of this matter now?"
