Chapter 396: Gifts and Kindness

"What do you want from us?" Huang Li Duo decided to be direct. He wasn't dumb. He already understood Shen Qui's meaning. He had been reminding them of the past, telling them of Lyca's plan and his actions. Clearly, he wanted them to offer him something.

"I want everything that you took away from my wife."

"You— Mr. Shen, you can't be that greedy." Huang Li Duo said. "I heard that your company is actually doing good now. Why do you still want our small Huang Security?"

"No reason. Just want to make my wife happy." Aside from making Lyca happy, Shen Qui hadn't thought of any other reason.

"You— You actually— You are actually making fun of us!"

Shen Qui smirked. He lifted his tea and held it in front of his nose. The smell of peppermint wafted through him. This was actually a tea that Lyca gave him. She said it would make him feel good, make him sleep better, and help prevent cold. She said that too much stress and the lack of sleep could give him many health problems.

Shen Qui wasn't too fond of peppermint, but he decided to take it since Lyca gave this to him. "I am just enjoying the process." He stared at Huang Li Duo. Shen Qui's memory was rather sharp. He could remember everything almost as if it had happened yesterday.

It was some sort of a gift and a curse at the same time.

Right now, he could still remember what happened that day. They were in the secret passage out of Huang Sheng Hong's house. Lyca had been framed, and he chose to follow her instead of going back to the Huang Family. Now that he thought about it, following Lyca back then was actually the best decision that he ever made in his whole life.

On that day, he chose to follow his heart more than logic. This was something he was very proud of.

"I want your shares. I want Huang Security back." Right now, Huang Security is actually struggling under the Long Corp. Who would have thought that Huang Security would be reduced to doing menial jobs like guarding some schools and companies one day?

Huang Security saved Shen Qui and his uncle back then. It's time for him to repay the goodwill that old man Huang gave them.

"I can't give you that!" Without the shares, he would be left with nothing! Huang Li Duo's wife is not someone from a prominent family. She doesn't have any connections and only had some friends from the upscale community after they married.

Without the shares, Huang Li Duo would be left with nothing! "My shares will be given to my son after my death!"

"Oh… "Shen Qui nodded. "I understand. If I were you… I would be reluctant to. But, I want to ask you this. Are you really willing to fight me?"

Huang Li Duo couldn't say anything. Fight Shen Qui? Right now, he wasn't sure of that. He didn't have the time to check Shen Qui's current capabilities yet as he never put Shen Qui in his eyes. To him, Shen Qui is nothing but a dog that Lyca picked up somewhere. However, it seems that Shen Qui showed a lot of potential both in business and scheming.

"The read the current financial documents of your company and realized that it is losing more money than it is earning. Your profits are originally aren't high before Lyca left. You were already struggling. However, it seems that being with Long Corp. didn't actually make it any better. This made me wonder why you chose to work with them in the first place." Shen Qui finished his tea.

Then he continued, "I was thinking of ways why you would poison your own father, frame your niece and agree to imprison your own brother. Then I realized that it must be because they promised to make you the CEO of Huang Security? Of course, money should be involved too. Meaning, they must have given you a few hundred million for you to agree to poison the person who raised you."

"It wasn't me." Huang Li Duo said. "I didn't come up with the plan. I was okay with Lyca taking over. I agreed to make her the next CEO."

"I know." Shen Qui nodded. "Isn't that why I only wanted to have your shares? I could have asked for your life in exchange for your son and daughter's life."

Huang Li Duo's wife let out a surprised gasp, her face paling. The tone of the conversation is normal. No one raised their voice, no one sounded sarcastic. However, this is more than enough to intimidate her. "Mr. Shen… please don't harm my children!"

Shen Qui was clearly threatening them! Huang Li Duo would have erupted by now if he didn't know that he was capable of hurting his son and daughter. "Mr. Shen… I'm afraid that I have to think about all this first." Huang Li Duo said.

"I understand," Shen Qui nodded. "But I am going to leave this place two days from now. I expect you to come up with something before I leave. If I won't hear anything from you…"

"I know," Huang Li Duo nodded. "Then… then in these two days, you won't touch my family?"

"Who knows?" Shen Qui gave him a meaningful smile.

Shen Qui's answer made him stumped for words. He knew. Shen Qui clearly understands what he is trying to do. So, he didn't say that he wouldn't touch his family in these two days. Meaning, once Huang Li Duo would contact his friends and ask them for their help, Shen Qui would harm his family.

Everything would depend on Huang Li Duo and his actions.

Huang Li Duo lowered his head. How did it come to this?

How could a mere outsider threaten him now?

"Also... I want to send gifts to Miss Huang Xiaoxuan and her child. Actually, it was my wife's gift."

"No! There's no need." Huang Li Duo answered without batting an eyelid. "But... but thank you. I appreciate the kindness." He tried to fake a smile. Kindness? Is this really considered kindness?
