Chapter 427: The Controlling Lyca

While everyone enjoyed the birthday celebration, Long Yi was also busy getting rid of his wife's body.

"Make sure to change all CCTV's. Xiaoxuan was never here tonight!" He instructed his secretary.

"What if… What if Mr. Huang would…"

"Once he realized that his daughter was missing, he would naturally investigate. But calling him first is not an option." Long Yi had always been indifferent to Huang Xiaoxuan, and he planned to keep it that way. If he called Huang Li Duo and informed him that his daughter vanished, he would surely suspect Long Yi.

"What about the child?"

"Just bring it home." Long Yi said. "Hire someone to take care of it. Do this after the doctor would call us about her disappearance." He gritted his teeth. His future is already uncertain because of his failing business. He had been very occupied lately because of the company that he had somehow forgotten that he now had a child. Something that he could call his own. "The child can leave without its mother. Just make sure it's well-fed and happy. Every child would survive that way!"

"Yes, sir."

"Alright… you should leave."

"Yes, sir."

Long Yi immediately opened a bottle of Vodka after his secretary left and started drinking it straight from the bottle. The spice of the alcohol seemed to make him more aware of what he had done. "It was her fault," he chanted inwardly. Huang Xiaoxuan was the reason why Lyca never liked him. Looking at the stack of paper on his table, Long Yi decided to bury himself with work instead of thinking about that despicable woman.

Huang Xiaoxuan is already dead. Of course, dying was still her own fault. Who told her to come at such a wrong time? Who told her to talk about their child while he was feeling angry? Huang Xiaoxuan's death was her own fault!

"Master! Master! I have some news!"

Long Yi's thoughts were interrupted when one of his secretaries suddenly arrived inside the room without even knowing.

"What?"

"Master… tonight is Old Man Tang's birthday, and I received some news about Mr. Ken Xu, Mr. Xu Jihan attending the banquet."

"That is already expected.

"Master… there is another thing. Apparently…"

"Apparently, what?"

"Someone from the Shen Family also sent a representative. Few companies from abroad just arrived without even invitations. Most of them just used the pretense of celebrating Old Man Tang's birthday. But we all know that they really wanted to talk to Miss Lyca."

Long Yi turned silent as he lowered his head. "Alright… prepare a gift! I will go to Tang Mansion!"

Unbeknownst to him, someone already informed Lyca about what happened.

When Lyca received Yi'an's text, her face instantly changed. She finished her cake before she replied, asking her about the details of what happened.

According to Long Yi's secretary, who was also Yi'an's spy, Long Yi instructed his people to throw his wife's body in the ocean, feed it to the sharks and fishes. He said they would surely benefit from her.

What a psycho, Lyca thought inwardly. That man was truly terrible. Just as Shen Qui said, Long Yi was really someone that could easily ruin himself. After a few minutes of deliberation, Lyca texted back and told Yi'an to hire people to retrieve the body and leave it near the beach.

Tomorrow… there will be a piece of explosive news about Huang Xiaoxuan's body.

Just thinking about Huang Xiaoxuan's fate made Lyca a little… down but not sad. She felt a little upset that Huang Xiaoxuan wasted her life for someone like Long Yi. The woman loved him too much, and yet he killed her. Long Yi never liked his wife nor valued her presence.

He was abusive and manipulative. And Lyca hated that Long Yi won against Huang Xiaoxuan this time. He killed her before she realized that the toxicity of their relationship could kill millions of people. It was poisoned to both of them.

Now… her child would surely suffer.

The fact that the child was not Long Yi's could potentially endanger the child's life too. Once Long Yi knew that the child is not his, there is no doubt that he would try and kill the baby. Such a tragic fate.

Lyca bit her lips and texted Yi'an, telling her to send someone to protect the child. A nanny would be perfect. At this point, Lyca realized that she wasn't really that cold-hearted and evil. The child was innocent in all this.

Speaking of children… Lyca's gaze soon turned towards Shen Qui. It was already Shen Qui's turn to hit the board, and he was already on his eight darts. So far, he didn't have any miss. Lyca eyed Shen Qui's body. He was tall and lean, not overly muscular. He was also good-looking and intelligent. It would be perfect to have their child inherit all these traits.

"Oh! You missed!"

Tang Fangmei's loud voice woke Lyca up from her stupor. She looked at the target board, and just as her cousin said, Shen Qui missed! It was already the last dart, and he actually missed.

"Ha! Now, you have to drink!" Tang Fangmei was immediately in a happy mood. After all, Shen Qui was the only man who missed the bull's eye. She looked at Lyca, mockery apparent in her gaze. "Oh… please don't tell me you can't drink!?" Embarrassing Shen Qui was like embarrassing Lyca. It immediately lightened Tang Fangmei's mood.

"That's right… he can't drink." Lyca suddenly chimed in. Since this competition started, this was the first time that she spoke about it.

"He is a grown man, Lyca. Why are you controlling him?" Tang Fangmei had the word smug written all over her face. "Stop being too toxic and just let him drink."

Lyca rolled her eyes as she stood. "If he will drink. Who will drive me home while I sleep? Stupid. You think I would drive myself back to my house?" Lyca approached them and suddenly grabbed the glass. "Let me drink for him."

Like a hero saving the beauty, she downed the glass without saying anything else.

"…"
