Chapter 388: Not Worth it!

On the other hand, Lyca had been staring at the ceiling since she woke up. Seeing all the documents that she got last night, Lyca couldn't help but shiver. Who would have thought that the Xu Family in this world is just the same as the Xu Family in her previous world? Mass murder, r*pe, corruption, and many more things.

She couldn't help but wonder where Old Man Long found those proofs. Was it possible that he worked with the Xu Family to commit those murders?

She pursed her lips as she thought about what she did last night. Initially, she wanted to talk to Old Man Long, scare him until he would make his family and himself suffer. She wanted to lay a trap but ended up giving him a stroke instead.

It was because of those documents.

She wanted to have the documents as fast as possible. Her curiosity got the best of her. Of course, she didn't regret hurting him. Those files were things that were not on her research. Those were big secrets!

When Lyca decided to get out of her bed, it was already one in the afternoon. She took a quick bath and went out of her room to find some food. Earlier, Shen Qui already informed her that he would be in a few meetings. He would be swamped with work and meetings today.

The bigger the business, the busier he would be.

That is something that she already accepted. Of course, she had no complaints about this. After all, during the night, he was all hers. If Shen Qui would one day abandoned his nightly duties with her, then that would be the time she would complain.

"Hey, grandfather is waiting for you to wake up. However, he is already having lunch with Mr. Xu." Chu Nan said when he saw Lyca walking towards the dining room.

"Mr. Xu is still here?" Lyca frowned. Last night, when she was eavesdropping, she clearly heard his secretary said that he was no longer in Long City. It was all a lie,

"Of course! He wanted to meet grandfather. They are in the garden at the back, waiting for you. Shen Qui had another meeting. He said it was about the opening of his restaurant in the Aiba region." Chu Nan started walking next to Lyca. The two walked towards the back garden with a small artificial waterfall.

"Lyca!" Xu Jihan stood up when he saw her approached. Then he grabbed an umbrella and walked towards Lyca. "Here you go. It is always better to protect your skin from the sun."

"I had sunscreen," Lyca didn't bother thanking him. She could smell the fakery from this guy from a mile away.

"Oh… still… you can't let the sun touch your skin directly. It's dangerous." He walked on the other side of Lyca. "I came here to freeload some lunch. I hope you don't mind."

She turned towards him. She wanted to say that she minds. This man was really shameless, eating someone's food. However, she was too lazy to scold him.

It was simply not worth it.

"Buy more food," Lyca said. Since he ate their food, it's only fitting that he buy more for them.

"Of course, I already asked my people to bring some professional chefs for dinner. This time, it's my treat."

"…" Lyca deadpanned. So, he was only looking for ways to spend more time with them. "I heard about Old Man Long. Did you have anything to do with that?"

"What? Of course not. The Long Family is a family friend. I would never hurt them."

"Then why are you here?" She asked. She didn't miss the amusement in his eyes.

"I have a scheduled meeting with the old man. And I wanted to talk about the armor."

"Oh." Lyca already knew this. However, she isn't the CEO of Shen Security. She is the CEO's wife. Boring business meetings have nothing to do with her.

Lyca quickly greeted Old Man Chu when she arrived in the covered seating area in the middle of the garden. Then she started eating.

"When I saw the armor, I was honestly surprised. I never thought that someone could create a suit so functional and effective." Old Man Chu started talking. "At first, I had little doubts about our cooperation. After all, the concept of armor like that was really unbelievable. However, I am now fully convinced that Shen Security is very capable of creating something so magical."

Lyca didn't say anything. The armor that they made this time didn't have the chemicals that could make it withstand that special bullet that she created. They didn't have the time to make it totally invincible. Right now, Lyca wasn't planning to reveal the original design of the armor.

She wanted everyone to believe that this was already the best.

Then she would secretly create those armor for her people.

"Hmmm. I agree. To be honest, we were trying to create an armor like this for a long time now. However, the armors that we were able to create were not as light as the ones that Lyca's people were wearing. It also had more expensive materials. It's heavy and expensive. Those two weaknesses made us stop the project." Xu Jihan said. "I am really wondering what kind of material did Shen Security use in making those armor."

"That a secret," Lyca said. When she came to this world, she spent a lot of time studying chemicals, rare metals, and physics to figure out a way to go back to her previous world. This is why she knew quite a bit about metals and how to alter them.

"Ehem… of course. I understand that." Xu Jihan gave an awkward laugh. This woman is really difficult to talk to, ah. "By the way! The cookies that you like last time. I brought it with me."
