Chapter 343: Holiday

Who would have known that a few minutes after he said this, someone announced that Lyca was outside and is requesting an audience?

The father and son paled as they stared at each other.

"Jinx!" Huang Li Duo hissed, his eyes narrowed at his son. "Go and prepare our people. Call your aunt and Long Yi! I will go and see her!"

"But what if she— "

"Do you really think she's that foolish? She won't kill me and be labeled as a criminal."

"Alright."

Seeing his son leave his office, Huang Li Duo immediately instructed the attendant to bring Lyca inside the mansion. It took Huang Li Duo a few minutes to arm himself with some guns and knives before he finally arrived in the Huang Family living room.

"Uncle!" Lyca's smiling face instantly made his face dark.

"Let's stop the fakery! Why are you here?" He sat opposite Lyca and Shen Qui.

"To visit family."

"We — We were no longer family."

"Oh?" Lyca laughed lightly. She started peeling an orange that was given by the servant. However, Shen Qui grabbed the orange from her hand and started peeling it. "I bought some gifts."

"I am not interested in your gifts."

"It's not for you." The smile on her face widened. "It's for your daughter."

"You— "

"She's almost due?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Uncle… I now understand why guilty people always think that everyone around them is out to get them." She frowned. "How have you been? I heard that you were angry with Aunt Ying and Uncle Qingyun for a long time after they poisoned Grandfather?" According to her father, Huang Sheng Hong, Huang Li Duo actually argued with his sister back then. However, he was powerless against Long Yi and his father.

"That's not true."

"Hmm." She started eating the orange that Shen Qui handed her. "I heard Long Yi treats your daughter badly. Are you happy to see her suffer?"

Huang Li Duo's face reddened. He couldn't help but gnashed his teeth. Memories of his once lovely little daughter flashed in his head. "I don't know what you're talking about! You aren't welcome here! I suggest you leave as soon as possible."

"Oh…" Lyca nodded. "Did you call them, already? You know that killing me won't do you any good, yes?"

"You— "

"I have spies. People working under you and everyone else. I have poisons surrounding this place. My death… would mean you will die too."

"You think I'm scared of you!?"

"Then… why don't you do it? You can try and kill me if you want?" Lyca smiled. "I heard... Huang Xiaoxuan is already on her way here."

"How did you know that?"

"I don't know what would happen if she suddenly died? Do you think her baby will die too? Isn't that too pitiful?"

"You— "

"Hehe… Relax, Uncle. I am kidding. It's a holiday today. Isn't it time to have some fun?"

"And this is your idea of fun? I already said! You aren't welcome here! Leave now before I decide to kill you."

"But it's Spring Festival!" Lyca retorted.

"We are not families!"

"Then you aren't planning to offer me some food? How mean." Lyca frowned. "Since it's like this… I will leave. Husband, let's go." Lyca's eyes twinkled as she went out of the mansion with Shen Qui.

"You are enjoying this like a sadist."

Lyca turned towards him before he pouted. "Ew. I am a kindhearted girl who wanted to spend some time with relatives on this Holiday!" She didn't wipe the smug smile off her face.

The two walked towards the car that was waiting for them.

...

"She came here to announce her arrival!" Huang Ying said, her shrill voice echoed inside the study. It had been one hour since Lyca left. When she arrived here with her people, Lyca was no longer here. Her useless brother was actually so useless! How could he let that woman go? "So? She can now come and go in your place? How dare you allow her to leave this place unscathed?"

"Huang Ying, calm down."

"Calm down? Calm down? Really? That's all you have to say? Calm down? After what you did!?"

"Elder Sister, Elder Brother Li Duo is right. Please calm down. Let's be rational. We should think of the reason why she announced her arrival."Huang Qingyun who had been silent since his arrival uttered. "This isn't her style."

"This is true." Long Yi who sat next to Huang Qingyun added. "This isn't her style at all." He already knew that Lyca is coming for the assembly. But he didn't expect her to act like this. In fact, he was expecting her to hide and stay hidden until the assembly will start.

"Then why did she do it?" Huang Li Duo was also confused. Lyca came here and really brought some unopened supplements for pregnant women. This made him confuse.

"She wanted to rile us up!" Huang Ying said. "She wanted us to feel fear and tremble because we can't do anything about her being here!"

"Actually, I think we can do something about her." Huang Qingyun spoke, his face stern. "Mr. Long and the Long Family owned this City. If you think about it, they are really influential. Even the police— "

"I can't do it." Long Yi immediately said. While it's true that the Long Family is really influential right now, he can't actually influence the police to frame Lyca. "I have investigated and found out that she is now working with the Chu Family. The heir of the Chu Family, one of the twins, Chu Nan is accompanying her right now."

"You mean… But how did she convince them to work with her? I remember you said they only owned a few restaurants in and outside Kong City?" Huang Ying's face darkened. She already confirmed this matter. Lyca and Shen Qui indeed owned a few businesses. It shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of the Chu Family.

"Her skills," Huang Qingyun said. "She is smart and skilled in poison. I remember, Old Man Huang praised her before because she was able to create some perfume formulas? She could have used some formulas and sell it to one of their companies."

Silence filled the room.

"So… if we can't influence the police then, how are we going to frame her? That woman is careful enough. She won't commit any crimes while she was in here."
