Chapter 322: Emotional Lai Su

"This — You have been married for three years, no?"

"More than that. Still, the honeymoon phase is the first ten years! This is where people would know if they are really compatible!"

"I — I didn't know this." But then again, his marriage was purely for benefits who developed into something more. However, he still couldn't help but wonder if this is something the younger generation had come up with? "So… if you want to stay in your Kong City then… would it be alright if I asked Chu Nan to follow you?"

"Why would he follow me?" Lyca asked.

"To learn from you."

"Old Man… I don't think that is necessary," Shen Qui said.

"You misunderstood. I want him to learn the art of poison from you. Chu Nan had a strong sense of justice. It was strong to the point it was crooked. In this world, real justice doesn't exist. This firm belief that he could help everyone is weighing him down. Because of this, he chose to work in the police force. As you can see, Chu Nan hated people like you. However, this is also the best way to learn. I am already old and if Chu Munan couldn't make it then…"

"Still no." Shen Qui said. "You asked my wife to help you with Chu Munan and now you asked her to teach Chu Nan, old man, are you trying to snatch my wife from me?"

"Heh, actually my husband had a point. Moreover, why would you want your grandson to learn about poisons? I believe Mr. Chu is already good at martial arts and he could use guns. He could defend himself. I am just a weak woman who can't even stand the cold. I am not qualified to become his teacher. Moreover— "

"I am willing to pay you and make you an elder of my Chu Family."

Lyca squinted before she smiled. "Then, let me think about it."

Seeing Lyca's smile, Shen Qui sighed inwardly. Ah, it seems that her goal to use the Chu Family is becoming more and more obvious each day. After a few minutes, the three people finally had the perfect arrangement for Chu Nan. Then the two told the patriarch that they are scheduled to leave that same night.

The patriarch immediately tried to stop them, but Lyca was adamant about leaving. This was something she promised to Shen Qui. Moreover, they have more important things to attend to. Like creating the antidote for her grandfather and dealing with Kong Citi's problems. There is also the Assembly for the security companies.

"Alright, Chu Nan will take care of his job here then he would follow you. Mr. Lai would be staying here until all the test has been made. Once everything goes well, Chu Munan will accompany him to Kong City for his treatment. I will convince the elders about this. I will just call you once we already decided." Old Man Chu said after failing to convince Lyca to stay.

Lyca nodded and smiled before going to her room Shen Qui. As expected, Lai Su was already waiting for them in the room.

"Xi, if you wanted to get rid of me, you could have informed me in advance! That way, I can adjust my emotions and act accordingly!" Lai Su couldn't help but feel aggrieved. After all, this was a surprise to him. Lyca didn't even consult him before making this decision. He immediately felt that Lyca was trying to get rid of him! "Was my performance not good enough? Do you think my intelligence is— "

"Aiyo… who would have thought that Lai Su is such an emotional person? I thought people with high IQ have low EQ?" Rue snorted next to him. "Stop acting like a child and just listen to her explanation first. You are looking down on yourself too much. Plus, if she wanted to get rid of you, she would kill you to avoid future complications."

"You— "

"Rue is right," Shen Qui answered. His wife was already on the bed, lying with a bowl of grapes. So, it was his job to comfort this emotional man. "She was doing this to give you connections and the ability to take back what was taken away from you." Shen Qui said. Lai Su is someone who doesn't like scheming. This was because he had been a victim of extreme scheming before. Because of this hate, he developed a tough personality to other people.

"You mean…"

"Once you take this medicine. What do you think will happen to the people who took your research away from you?" Shen Qui slowly peeled the grapes from Lyca's bowl. Of course, his lovely wife was just staring at the ceiling, waiting for him to peel the grapes. She was in an energy-saving mode.

"So she is not leaving me here?"

'She is leaving you here. But Rue will be with you." Shen Qui said. "Just a few weeks should be enough for you to complete the testing with live subjects. Then you can come back and let them deal with the effects. They only wanted to see the possible harmful effects of the medicine. Of course, you can stay here if you want."

"Stay? Who wanted to stay here?" Lai Su snorted. Staying with Lyca means learning a lot of things. That is something that the Chu Family's money wouldn't be able to afford in this lifetime.

"This will, of course, attract the attention of the company that you worked for before. So, Rue is here to protect you. She is good at martial arts and hacking. Plus, you will stay in the lab the whole time. And we already asked the old man to keep this as quiet as possible. No one would know your identity until this medicine is revealed to the public."

Lai Su gulped. If the medicine is successful, then he could finally prove to his dead loved ones that he wasn't crazy after all. Lai Su wasn't after the fame or the money that this project could bring him. All he wanted was to prove that he didn't steal any ideas or plagiarized anything. He had the skills to finish a project! This would mean he would finally get the justice that he deserve from all those years ago!
