Chapter 392: Salary

Right now, everyone in the Huang Family is already in a panic. This wasn't just because of the Long Patriarch's demise. It was because of Huang Ying's current situation.

After assaulting Shen Qui, Huang Ying is still in prison because her husband refused to bail her out. Not only this, a few people who used to work in Huang Security are now coming forward to testify against her. All of them were accusing her of assault, and someone even dared accuse her of attempted murder. Luckily the person was able to run.

This news surprised the whole Long Family. Huang Ying came from the wealthy Huang Family, and her husband was someone from the Zhang Family who is also considered well off! How could this have happened to her?

Of course, the Huang Family knew that it was Lyca.

"I want to go and talk to Lyca." Huang Li Duo said. He was currently pacing in his office with his wife, Li Tang.

"Husband… I am terrified. I am scared that Lyca would hurt our daughter. What if she… what if she will take our grandchild? Huang Xiaoxuan is very vulnerable right now. I'm afraid that— "

"Lyca wouldn't go that low." Huang Li Duo was sure of that. "She could have poisoned Huang Ying and kill her family. But what did she do? She made her go to prison!"

"But father…" The man who spoke was Huang Li Duo's eldest son, Huang Zi Yan. "It is still best if we tell Long Yi to take care of Huang Xiaoxuan. Maybe increase the security at the hospital. We can't be too careless. That Lyca had no morals. I am sure that she would hurt a child and would not feel any remorse whatsoever!"

"Go ahead and call Mr. Long. I will try to call Lyca… No, perhaps, I could talk to Mr. Shen. That's right…" In his eyes, Shen Qui came from a poor background. He grew up without any family. Huang Li Duo was confident Shen Qui would be easier to talk to, he would be easier to influence than that shrewd Lyca!

After a few minutes of calling his friends, he finally found a number of Shen Qui's secretary. Who would have thought that the secretary would immediately tell him that Shen Qui had no time to talk to him?

"I am his Uncle! I am his wife's Uncle! How come he is too busy to talk to me?" Huang Li Duo hollered. Shen Qui is married to the prosperous Huang family, and he is considered his senior! What is this… too busy status that he was so proud of?

"Mr. Huang… Mr. Shen doesn't have any living relatives aside from his wife. His wife only has a mother, father, and grandfather. I don't remember Miss Lyca saying something about an uncle. Stop being so shameless and wait in the line."

"You— "He was about to yell at Ronan when he realized that the call already ended. "Let's go to the mansion that she was staying! Bring gifts! I will try and convince her to spare her aunt!"

"But… husband… her father and mother…"

"They are missing! Nowhere to be found! Who knows if they are still alive? We are still considered Lyca's elder. We should go now. Prepare some expensive herbal tea and some imported food and chocolates."

"Alright… Alright… I will do that."

After about thirty minutes, the two left their estate and drove towards the mansion where Lyca was staying. And just as expected, the guards didn't let them in. Huang Li Duo didn't know if he should throw another tantrum just outside of the gates or pretend to faint from exhaustion.

This current situation is really embarrassing. Who would have thought that Lyca wouldn't even give them a bit of a face? Everyone in Long City knew that Lyca is a Huang. While they didn't know the exact reason she left, many thought it was because Huang Family schemed against her and Huang Sheng Hong.

What would happen if they knew that Huang Li Duo and his wife didn't have the chance to enter Lyca's mansion? What would happen if they knew that Lyca refused to see his Uncle?

Surely, people would start to connect the dots and conclude something that could damage his family!

"Mr. Huang… please move to the other side. Please stop blocking the driveway."

Huang Li Duo almost erupted in anger when he heard the guard's voice. He gnashed his teeth and silently drove his car towards the other side. Then he went out of his vehicle and tried talking to the guard again. Telling them that he had some gifts for her.

However, just like before, the guards said that Lyca was sleeping and didn't want to be disturbed.

"Eh? Who are these people?"

Huang Li Duo's attention turned towards the black tinted van that stopped at the gates. A woman wearing shades that were almost bigger than her face was looking at the guards on the window.

"Reporting to Miss Xu, this man is called Mr. Huang, he wanted to see Miss Lyca, but Miss Lyca said she didn't want anyone to disturb her sleep."

"She's still sleeping? It's already eleven in the morning!" Xu Rong'er said. "Open the gates, let the man in."

"Miss Xu, I'm afraid I can do that." The guards said.

"Don't you know who I am? Chu Munan said that he already informed the guards that I am coming!"

"Miss Xu, with all due respect, all of us here knew who you are."

"Then? Why aren't you following my orders?"

"Ma'am… I'm afraid we can't follow your orders. You aren't the one paying us our salaries." Someone from the back said.

"You— What did you say?" Disbelief flashed in Xu Rong'er's face. She quickly removed her shades. "Say that to my face again!"

"Miss Xu, we can't follow your orders. You aren't the one paying our salaries."

"You— You really— "Xu Rong'er face instantly turned scarlet red. The man actually repeated his words? Wasn't he scared of her?

"Miss Xu, please go inside. Please don't block the driveway." Again, that person said.
