Chapter 429: Acting Upset

"What's going on here?" Lyca asked when she noticed the commotion just as she walked out of the house.

"It's Long Yi," Shen Qui answered. He stood next to Lyca, like a tall concrete wall.

"He's here?" Lyca frowned. Right after he killed his wife, he actually came here to party? This man… was a sociopath!

"He was arguing with the guards when they didn't let him in. He got upset and asked his people to subdue the guards. He then walked inside. Tang Jinyi noticed the commotion and approached him."

"Jinyi?"

"Yes. He wanted to drag Long Yi out. Long Yi was already drunk and tried to fight him."

Crazy. Long Yi had gone insane. Lyca just stood there and listened as Long Yi, and Tang Jinyi argued. After a few seconds, more security arrived to escort Long Yi out of the property. It was a good thing that this commotion happened at the back gate.

Long Yi actually wanted to use the back gate to avoid attracting a lot of attention from everyone. It was just unlucky that one needed to use this pathway from the entertainment room to the garden where the party was currently happening.

"Let me go! Don't you know who I am? I am from the Long Family! Don't you— F*ck! I said, let me go!"

"You are drunk. We don't allow drunk people inside." Tang Jinyi's tone was stern. "Take him out." He added.

"Mr. Tang… can't you just— "Long Yi's words were interrupted when he noticed the two people standing not far away from them. He squinted and instantly spotted Lyca's hair. "Lyca? Is that you?"

In response, Lyca narrowed her eyes at the man. "He killed his wife,"  she said in a voice only Shen Qui could hear.

"When did this happen?"

"A few hours ago. He threw her body in the sea and decided to come here, drunk. He was probably going to use this as an alibi." Finished speaking, Lyca let go of Shen Qui's hand and walked towards Long Yi. An action that made Long Yi smile.

"Lyca… " He straightened his back and tried to remove the hands of the two guards that held him. "Can't you see? She wanted to talk to me."

"Let him go," Lyca ordered, and the two instantly took a step back, letting Long Yi's arms go.

"He is drunk." Tang Jinyi warned her when he saw that Lyca was intending to approached Long Yi. "Be careful."

Lyca didn't say anything. She continued walking. Her eyes never left Long Yi's smiling face. "How come you are here?" she asked.

"To attend grandpa Tang's birthday. It's just that my invitation … I don't know where I put it. I was busy and probably misplaced it in my office."

"Young Miss, Mr. Long is not included in the list. We also asked Patriarch Tang, and he said Mr. Long wasn't invited."

"Is that so?" Lyca stood two feet away from Long Yi. Seeing her up close, Long Yi couldn't help but smile. That was until he noticed that coat that was wrapped around her shoulders. He eyed Shen Qui and instantly knew that this was his coat. A dangerous glint flashed in Long Yi's eyes.

"You look beautiful tonight."

"I know," Lyca nodded. "Since you already know that you are not invited, then… why are you still here?"

Long Yi didn't expect her sharp words. For some reason, he hoped that she would welcome him instead of kicking him out.

"I— "

"Did you forget what you did to my Huang Family?" Lyca's question was direct. To her, there is no need for pretense around this type of man. "Let me remind you. You poisoned my grandfather, framed me, take over my company, imprisoned my mother and father, and tried to scheme against me over and over again."

"I— " Long Yi never thought that Lyca would just blurt out everything in front of other people.

"I— I— What?" Lyca's voice turned colder. "You want to deny doing all this?"

"Lyca… look…"

"If you try to touch me. I will remove your nails one by one without anesthetics." Lyca took a step back. For some reason, Yi'an's message about Long Yi killing Huang Xiaoxuan. It made her upset.

Long Yi's hands froze. He stared at Lyca. "You— You are threatening me?"

"Leave," Lyca said. "Or you will suffer."

Long Yi stared at Lyca for a few minutes before he chuckled. "Alright… I understand. It's because of that man… right? You married him because you wanted to avoid our engagement, right? You used him to make me suffer! You wanted me to be miserable, right?" He laughed. "Lyca… you already won! I am now the most miserable man in this City!" Laughing, he took a step towards Lyca. "You must be thrilled right now… thinking that I am suffering."

"I am," Lyca said with a straight face.

Shen Qui, who was a few feet away from them, didn't move. He knew Lyca too well. Since Lyca walked towards Long Yi, it was evident that she wanted to handle this herself. There is no need to intervene. After all, he was very confident in his wife's skills.

Shen Qui didn't miss the small gesture Lyca made using her hands before putting both of her hands behind her back. Then she took another step back, increasing the space between her and Long Yi.

If Shen Qui's guess was right, Lyca was only acting upset. She was planning to make Long Yi approached her so she could do something to him. Shen Qui knew that if Lyca was truly upset, she wouldn't say a word. She would kill no more explanations needed.

Shen Qui watched as Long Yi tried to touch Lyca again. But she was quick to avoid his hand. She sidestepped and warned him again. This time, Shen Qui knew that Lyca was doing this for the CCTV camera behind her. Earlier, the camera wasn't able to capture her movement. Now, she was making sure to show the camera that she didn't do anything else.

This meant that someone else must be watching them right now.

And that this meant that this Long Yi would probably end up paralyze tomorrow.
