Chapter 283: The Damsel in Distress

"You should stop hugging me," Lyca said. She gulped and continued squeezing her eyes shut. She knew she must have looked like a tomato already. "We are in the middle of something," she continued and tried to wriggle her way out of his arms. It was futile. Shen Qui wasn't planning to let go.

This was her punishment. "Since you are so good at putting yourself in danger, then you should stay like this for a few more minutes." She heard him say.

Lyca sighed inwardly, helplessness rush through her. "Stop throwing tantrums." She just killed people! Shen Qui's ability to read situations is truly hopeless.

"Ahem…" Chu Nan cleared his throat as he avoided looking at the couple. According to his cousin, Shen Qui was wounded and is on the verge of death. If that is the case, then who is this man? Obviously, this was Shen Qui! This means that his cousin was lying.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was the Chu Family's ploy to make him come here to support them in their ambitions.

"Hey," Lyca elbowed him before mumbling, "Get off me. I smell like blood." And sweat, and she actually didn't wash her hair earlier today. In short, she stinks!

"Hmmm. I didn't know that Mrs. Shen would actually act like this when embarrassed. Next time, you should stop putting yourself in danger, or else, I would hug you for an hour in a public place like this."

Lyca could hear the amusement in his voice.

"And kiss you everywhere."

"Shen Qui!" she hissed. If this man would actually do that they would end up fighting and she knew that when it comes to strength, she wouldn't be able to beat him. Unless, of course, she shot him or use her daggers. But harming him wasn't one of her options.

"Hmmm." Finally, Shen Qui let her go. Smiling, he examined her, making sure she wasn't wounded. "You aren't wounded. This is good." Then she turned towards Chu Nan. "Are you the one in charge here?"

"Yes, I am…"

"I heard you the first time. Some assassins were here to kill my wife. I am glad that she is safe but I suggest you start searching the area to find the culprit."

"…"

"…"

"Mr. Q, I believe there is a misunderstanding here. Miss Xi wasn't attacked."

"Then you are saying that my wife would just fall asleep in a club? Someone must have poisoned his drink!" When it comes to shamelessness, Shen Qui's level was already on a godly level. "Mr. Chu, I suggest you comb the area or I will talk to your superiors about this matter!" Shen Qui said as he held Lyca closely in his arms.

The atmosphere immediately turned weird. How did it become like this? Clearly, they are here to arrest this woman!

"Huh! I didn't know that Boss Q is actually this shameless," Chu Yuyan chimed in. Hearing Shen Qui's words was enough to make her want to erupt in anger. "Your woman killed Zar Clint and his people! That's right! Zar Clint! The heir of the Clint family! How could you say that your wife was attacked? She was one who attacked someone."

"I swear, I didn't see dead bodies in there," Lyca's soft voice made Chu Yuyan and even Chu Nan speechless. Earlier, this woman was too relentless and forceful. How did she become like a damsel now? The two-eyed Lyca who was batting her eyes at Shen Qui. "I didn't even know that someone died!" Lyca said, her face flushed.

Shen Qui hugged her tighter. "It's alright, as long as you are safe then it's fine." He stroked her back and kissed her forehead.

"You are truly shameless! How could you— "

"Miss Chu had been saying that I killed someone, but she actually doesn't have some proof. Husband, this woman is bullying me." Lyca's declaration silenced Chu Yuyan. She glared at Lyca, disbelief flashed in her eyes. The change in Lyca wasn't only surprising, but it was too infuriating! She was actually acting like she was bullied? She was nothing but a damn white lotus!

Except for Shen Qui, none of them were aware that Lyca did this as she was already too lazy to handle them. With Shen Qui by her side, Lyca was confident that she could now have her rest and just watch a show. She met Shen Qui's eyes and let out a deep sigh. "She had been accusing me of killing someone. I swear, I really didn't see any dead bodies when I woke up."

"Then how do you explain Zar Clint's disappearance after he entered the VIP room you were in?" Chu Nan already has his suspicions, but he couldn't confirm it. After all, he would need someone to verify it.

As someone working in the police department, Chu Nan already saw a lot of weird stuff. In his mind, some glitch could cause the disappearance in the CCTV. After all, there were no dead bodies inside the room. Aside from the liquid on the floor that was spilled, there were no bodies or signs that someone died there.

"Mr. Clint and his subordinates talked to me, but after that, he left." Lyca shrugged and buried her face into Shen Qui's arms. "Husband, I swear I didn't kill anyone."

"Of course, I believe you." Shen Qui said, his eyes never left Chu Nan's. "If my guess is right, Zar and his two subordinates were all killers and capable of killing someone in a matter of minutes. Are you saying that my wife could defeat them and worse, kill the three of them while she was alone? She is small and slim! How could she defeat three people at once? Tell me, Mr. Chu, why are you trying to frame my wife? Did you really think that your Chu Family is above the law?"

Chu Nan squinted at Shen Qui before he looked at Chu Yuyan, as if silently asking her for an explanation. This woman was the one who told him about Lyca killing someone important. She was also the one who confirmed that their people saw Zar Clint entering the VIP room. Then she confirmed that Zar Clint never left the room.

"I— Elder Cousin, please don't listen to them. Zar is really dead. If he was alive, then he should be here by now. This woman really killed him!"
