Chapter 348: Trap

"Alright, enough of that." Shen Qui uttered. "She's not planning to kill anyone." He coldly glared at Chu Nan. Lyca is not that reckless. She was talking about masks, meaning she's planning to use something that will either make people sleep or make people lose their strength. This Chu Nan looked really stupid.

Lyca immediately smiled. As expected, Shen Qui is still the best translator.

After their meeting, Lyca and others finally made a plan. Then Ronan immediately submitted the armor to the committee. This is not really compulsory, but they wanted to get the committee's approval before doing something that might violate the rules. After all, they are here to win. A minor mishap might ruin everything.

They also made sure to memorize the rules, or at least Shen Qui memorized everything to make sure that their plan will go smoothly.

"You say that the armor is weird?" Long Yi frowned. He was currently talking to one of the committee members.

"Well, we haven't seen anything like it before. We did the basic checking and discovered that it is just a light armor with night vision visors."

"No weapons? Or harmful poisons?" Long Yi asked.

"No, sir."

"Are they violating any rules?"

"No, sir. You are allowed to wear any type of uniform. An armor can be considered uniform too." The staff said.

"Then why did you tell me this!?" he asked, irritated. If they didn't violate any laws, then why tell him? Isn't this just another armor?

"Well… Well, you said to report everything that they do so I—" the middle-aged man stuttered. "I brought the pictures that I took for the armor."

"Leave it there! Just give them back the armor! I am sure that they already informed the other companies about this. If we refuse them, they might take it as I am doing it because she is a Huang!" Long Yi gestured for the man to leave him alone. He was currently in his office — the one that he used when he was still the student council president. Even the previous student council members are with him.

"So? We're not going to disqualify them?" Xie Jun said. As usual, he was wearing different shades of purple. A purple brooch surrounded by a different shade of purple stones was also on his shirt.

Zhang Zhi who sat next to Xie Jun snorted. He wheeled his wheelchair closer to Long Yi and grabbed the stack of images from his table. "Well... This is really an impressive-looking suit." Sarcasm laced his tone. Flashes of Lyca's face made him frown. Until now, he could still remember that woman's face as she poisoned him, making him unable to walk again. One day…. He thought. One of these days, he would surely cut that woman into small pieces, grind her flesh until he was satisfied with his revenge.

"I heard she made another ruckus when she arrived?" Xie Jun ignored Zhang Zhi and stared at Long Yi. "Fireworks? I am wondering if she killed anyone?"

Long Yi shook his head. Lyca was too smart for that. After that incident, everyone actually decided to have doctors and checked the people who fainted. As expected, none of them showed any signs of becoming sick. There were also no traces of chemicals in their system.

The test results were enough to prove that not doing anything about that firework was the right decision. If they actually called the police and asked them to arrest Lyca, they would only end up as a joke to the other rich families in the region. After all, the results didn't show any drug that could induce sleep.

Until now, he couldn't understand why Lyca did it. He already read about drugs that could make people sleep for a few minutes, but none of them are invisible. Once experts test them, they would always show signs in the human body. This made him wary.

That firework display was indeed a trap.

A trap that cannot be avoided.

After the test, Long Yi realized something. If he reported Lyca, then his reputation would be tarnished for reporting anyone without valid proof, he would end up as a laughingstock. Of course, he avoided this by not reporting her to the authorities. However, the result of the matter was also the same.

That firework made him fear her even more. It made everyone in the Huang Family tremble and panicky. Lyca's goal of frightening them was achieved.

So even if he didn't report her, even if he saved himself from the ridicule of other people, he was still a victim of Lyca's insidious scheme. He became even more afraid of her.

"She needed to go," he said after a few seconds of silence. "Her company… might be dangerous. I am sure that her goal is not owning a simple security agency. She might be here to show off her strength and gain the authority to accept dangerous missions from the President. We need to do something to disqualify her!" This was the reason why he asked these people to meet him today.

"I have a plan," Xie Jun smiled, his purple contacts gleam under the lighting of the chandelier. It made him look sinister, dangerous. "Drugs are prohibited, no? We can… plant drugs into their luggage and pretend to have an inspection. That will not only disqualify them, but also tarnish their reputation in the industry. After all, we can't really trust people who are drug addicts, right?"

"Hmmm… I agree with him." Zhang Zhi added. Even though he is Lyca's first cousin, he already hated her too much. Seeing her suffer is actually better than seeing her dead. "We can always pretend to gather them in the hall while our people plant the drugs to their room. Of course, we just need to take care of the CCTV."

Long Yi looked at the two people. He pursed his lips as he squinted. "Actually… that plan might work this time."
