Chapter 345: Element of Surprise

"That man is nothing but an arms dealer! Why can't we target them?" Huang Ying's nose flared at the thought of Lyca and Shen Qui. "This time it was only a sleeping gas. What about next time? She is clearly warning us! She wanted us dead! And she isn't planning to make it easy!"

Arms Dealer?

Huang Li Duo and Huang Qingyun looked at their sister. As if realizing her mistake, Huang Ying added, "I just discovered that he and Santa were already branching out. They have bases in the Five regions! They are using their shipping companies to cover this up. If we cooperate with the military, we will surely win."

"This meant their network is increasing." Long Yi's expression was grave. He always thought that Shen Qui is not that big in the black market. Arms dealing is not really something uncommon these days. Even small-time ports tried this business before. "Arms dealer — especially the bigger ones are hard to deal with. We will need a lot of evidence against them. I will talk to my father about this matter." This is a matter of national security. Someone like him doesn't have the right to involve himself in matters like this.

"We thought he is just trying to curry favors to Santa? And that port… We are already aware that his business involves illegal weapons. How come we didn't know that they have currently branched out? What about our spies?" Huang Li Duo asked.

"Dead." Huang Ying didn't hesitate to answer. "After Shen Qui showed himself, we lost contact with our spies. The Mayor already died, the vice mayor is currently working for Santa. The four territories are practically nonexistent now that Lord Olfan refused to show himself. It was a mess. The Kong City is really messy right now."

"How did you know this?" Huang Qingyun asked.

"I was watching them! That woman made my son like that! She ruined my family! How could I take my eyes off her? Since she revealed herself, I already asked my people to follow her all the time!"

"Ying… do you know how dangerous that is?"

"So what? She ruined my family! If I don't ruin hers! Then I am not Huang Ying!"

The men inside the room went silent. They say that a woman is actually the most vicious type of animal in the world. Huang Ying's family indeed suffered because of Lyca. Everyone in this room understood that Huang Ying's mind was already full of vengeance. However, the Zhang Family couldn't just send their people to Kong City to kill Lyca.

Moreover, that woman was always protected and would rarely go out. Lyca's routine was practically well known to people. She doesn't like to spend a lot of time away from her house. Her schedule is also unpredictable. That's why sending assassins is just useless.

However… she is currently in Long City. On their turf.

That woman fearlessly came back and even did something to challenge them. How could Huang Ying miss this opportunity to kill her?

"Ying, I think we should think about it." Huang Qingyun always believed that he is rational. He would never let emotions get the best of him. "If we think about it, Lyca could actually kill us today. But she didn't. Meaning, she might not be here to kill us. There is also the chance that she is just trying to bait us into hurting her."

"You— "

"Actually, Mr. Huang Qingyun is right." Long Yi uttered. "Lyca arranged this meeting for us. She wanted us to know that she is here. Why would she announce her presence instead of hiding? She might be baiting us to act against her. I believe she has a trap prepared for us." After a long silence, he added, "I suggest we take extra precaution in the coming days. Lyca is a petty person. She would surely do something more than this. Huang Ying, don't do anything stupid. She could easily kill your whole family. If that happens…" He gave her a stern gaze. Long Yi didn't have to tell her what would happen if Lyca actually killed her family, right?

Knowing Lyca, she would surely keep Huang Ying alive and watch as she goes crazy.

"Mr. Long… this isn't like you. Are you telling me that you are scared of her?" Huang Ying snorted.

"No. However, before Lord Olfan left. He told me that she had a special weapon that could kill people in seconds. It should be some poison that she is trying to develop. I already asked my contacts in the government to look into it."

"Terrorism?" Huang Li Duo asked, and Long Yi nodded.

"For now, that is the only thing that I could come up with. So… let's all be smart and stop provoking her while she was in the City. Just wait for me to produce some evidence. As long as we can prove that she possessed something that could harm people then… she is finished." This was actually the only way that he could fight against her. The government. The Xu Family.

"Then are we going to watch them destroy our lives? Long Yi, I didn't know that you are actually a coward!" Huang Ying sneered. "Just because she now has the support of the Chu Family, you immediately want to stop attacking her even if she is in your Long City? How cowardly!"

Instead of getting angry, Long Yi just stared at the woman. "If you want to attack her… then do it. But don't involve me in your matter. Since you really want to die, then just go and provoke her. You are such a stupid woman! If you think that she would come here without arming herself, then you are wrong! If you want to defeat Lyca Huang, then don't use your stupid method! All we have now is the element of surprise!"

That's right. He was investigating this matter secretly because he wanted to surprise her. This was the only way that he would be able to destroy the pest.
