Chapter 281: Silenced

"You — " Even the man turned speechless at Lyca's relentless behavior. He actually thought that she would easily give way and come with them to avoid trouble, after all, it was very clear that they have the advantage. Lyca only had her driver who was already beaten by their people. So, how come Lyca was still so confident that they wouldn't hurt her?

"You can't?" Lyca smiled. Of course, these people wouldn't really know anything about someone like her. After all, they still work for the police force. Shooting someone unarmed who didn't even have any intention of fighting back is going to ruin their reputation. Lyca eyed the surrounding people who already started taking videos and wave at them.

This was her armor.

The current internet is such an amazing thing. Anything can go viral these days, as long as it was enough to entertain people. She then smiled at the man. "Mr. Whoever you are, are you going to arrest me? If not, am I allowed to leave now?"

"Elder Cousin Chu, are we going to allow her to leave?" Even Chu Yuyan realized the problem in this current situation. Her cousin who is working for the department might not be able to get out of this situation unscathed if they really shoot this woman or force her to accompany them with no warrants or evidence that she killed someone.

Chu Yuyan eyed Lyca's perfect clothes. Not a speck of blood can be seen from her dark clothes.

"Well, since Miss Xi refused to accompany us to the station, then we can only properly invite Miss Xi in the morning once everything is sorted out. Please don't leave the City tonight. We will keep in touch."

Chu Yuyan gnashed her teeth in anger when she heard her cousin's words. However, she couldn't really say anything that could avoid implicating her cousin.

"Ah, thank you." Lyca put her hands behind her back and smiled. "However, I have two questions about this matter."

"Please go ahead."

"How did you know that someone died inside? I mean, the reason I was late is that I fell asleep while drinking. But I really didn't see anybody sprawled inside. I also didn't smell any blood. How did you know that someone actually died and even accused a harmless little girl like me as the killer?"

"Miss Xi, someone said that they saw bodies inside. That's why we were here as we thought some sort of mass killings happened." The man smiled.

"Then why did you hurt my driver?" she asked her second question again, her voice was a little louder this time. "My driver was earnestly waiting for me outside. He didn't drink or did some drugs. How could the police force attack my driver? What about human rights? Are you really going to pretend that my driver doesn't have any human rights?"

"…"

"Xi! You are going overboard!" Chu Yuyan hissed. "The reason they hurt him is that he insisted to go inside when it was already considered a crime scene! He actually fought someone from the police and that's why— "

"Ah, I understand." Lyca nodded. "So, two more police came to beat him up," she smiled. "So this is how people from the Capital would act in this small City."

Her words made the man frown, but it quickly disappeared after a few seconds. The most important thing is to see if there is really a dead body inside and to arrest this woman. "Alright, I will go ahead and check the place first. I will be in touch." Lyca smiled.

"No need. I will wait for the result. After all, I am such a good citizen who was wrongly accused of killing someone." She smiled and walked towards the car. "Just call me if you won't arrest me or something." Beaming, Lyca gestured for Ma Ping to go inside the car while she stood leaning against the door of the front seat.

Lyca watched as the men wearing black went inside the facility with Chu Yuyan and her relative. Lyca sneered. Did those people really think they would find a body? Really?

She came here with her newly develop chemicals intending to kill people and make their bodies vanished. She was actually showing off to the representative of the Chu Family. After all, these family was known for their affinity in business. She was certain that a new product like this could catch their attention.

Lyca started humming and closed her eyes. Her heartbeat soon turned calmed.

"Did you really have to put yourself in danger again?"

Lyca froze as she opened one of her eyes. Then she slammed it shut again.

Shen Qui. It was actually Shen Qui!

Didn't she tell them not to let this man loose? Why was he standing here next to him?

"If continue pretending that you are sleeping, I will kiss you." She heard him say.

"I'm not pretending. I am really sleeping," she said before his kiss silenced her. Almost immediately, Lyca's arms snaked around Shen Qui's neck as she responded. It was as if her world stopped turning as she gave in and opened her mouth to receive his probing tongue.

The kiss lasted for a few more seconds before Lyca pulled away. "Now, I'm awake." A smile plastered on her face.

"Why are you being so reckless?" Shen Qui's face was dark as his hand touched her cheek. "I can smell blood. Are you wounded?" he asked.

"It's not mine," she answered, beaming.

"Stop smiling like that! It won't make me feel any better!"

"Then… should I smile like this?" she gave him a tight-lipped smile. "Or this?" Before giving him a cheeky grin. "Should I smile like this?" A huge smile that reached her ears slithered on her face as her hand folded around his waist. "Perhaps like this?" she continued teasing.
