Chapter 438: Long Yi's Downfall Part 4

Huang Zi Yan stared at Long Yi's expression. Now he understood what Lyca told him just before he walked inside. Long Yi was simply irredeemable. A sociopath.

"I'm just letting you know that — "

Long Yi's eyes widened when he saw Huang Zi Yan pull out a gun from behind him. "You — You said you would— "

"My mother was still in a daze because of what happened. Since we brought father to the hospital, mother never spoke a word. My father is going to become a vegetable until he dies, while my sister is already dead. Do you think I would still care if I go to prison or not?"

"You— "

He chambered the gun and stared at it for a few seconds. "A part of me wanted to kill you. I wanted to watch you bleed, I wanted to make you suffer." He gulped all the anger away. What remained was nothing but calmness. "But… another part of me said you don't deserve death. Yes… death would be too easy for you."

"What are you planning to do?" Long Yi's eyes widened. Huang Zi Yan would not…

"I am going to make you just like my father." Huang Zi Yan pointed the gun at Long Yi and pulled the trigger.

...…..

When Huang Zi Yan walked out of the police station, he immediately approached the black Mercedes waiting for him. Getting inside the car, he eyed the woman sitting next to him. "I shot him…"

"I can smell the blood," Lyca said before she yawned. "You didn't kill him?"

"You were right. He didn't deserve to die. He needed to stay in prison for the rest of his life, not being able to move his arms and legs again."

"You do know that there are ways to make artificial limbs, right?" Lyca asked, her gaze was glued at the backdoor of the police station where her cousin came from.

"I already gave you everything about Long Yi. Those are the things that Huang Xiaoxuan gathered when they were still together. Those offshore accounts are his last money. If you take that away from him… he won't be able to afford a high-tech limb." Huang Zi Yan said before he sighed. Slowly the car started moving away from the police station. "Thank you…"

"You should be thanking me. You disturbed my sleep just so you can hurt him." Lyca crossed her arms across her chest. Earlier, she was enjoying her time alone with her husband when this man arrived and begged to see her. That was when she knew that Huang Li Duo tried to kill him.

At first, she didn't know why Huang Zi Yan would suddenly see her instead of staying at his father's side. Then Huang Zi Yan suddenly told her about the bank accounts that Huang Xioaxuan found out. These were all Long Yi's and his father's accounts that were for emergencies.

This was the reason why Long Yi was still confident despite what happened to his company. It was because the money was huge, it would still save him from debt. Long Yi must have been planning to slowly recover before retaliating. Sadly for him, Huang Xiaoxuan knew those accounts and was able to copy them in a drive.

She put the drive inside her secret drawer in her room in Huang Li Duo's mansion. Huang Zi Yan always knew about this drawer, as this was also where she would hide anything important to her, like her diary. Growing up, he saw her access the drawer once or twice.

That's why when Huang Xiaoxuan died, he immediately checked the drawer, hoping to see some evidence of abuse in her diary. That was when he found the drive.

When Huang Li Duo tried to kill himself, Huang Zi Yan felt lost. He knew he could never fight against the Long Family alone. After a few moments of deliberation, he finally decided to see Lyca and asked for her help. "My father?"

"He will be transferred to a facility abroad under a new name. It is the same as you and your mother. Runaway." Lyca said. "And don't look back."

Huang Zi Yan stared at Lyca's side profile. "Why did you decided to help me?"

"Money," Lyca said. "Without the bank accounts, I would never have helped you." She was too lazy to involve herself without any compensation.

"So… So you, "he gulped. "You decided to help us even if you hated us because of the money?"

Lyca finally turned towards him. "Of course." Is there any reason why she would help them? Was he hoping to hear her say that she had a change of heart and already forgave them? "I am not a forgiving person. You are lucky, I was too lazy to deal with you."

She had much more problems aside from these people. There was the Xu Family and the Shen and, of course, Shen Qui's mysterious past. It's just too troublesome.

Hearing her words, Huang Zi Yan lowered his head. Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead. He balled his hands into tight fists. "How did you do it? You let me get inside a prison and shoot him? How?"

Lyca lifted an eyebrow. "I didn't do it. Shen Qui did." Her husband is amazing. Period.

"Oh…" Huang Zi Yan nodded. That's right. There was also Shen Qui. "So… I will leave this country."

Lyca nodded as the car started to slow down. "Long Yi is already poor. The only thing left under his name in the house and some properties." She said as the car came to a full stop.

"That quick?"

"I am efficient." Or at least Ronan was efficient.

Huang Zi Yan nodded. "Just so you know…"

"Nope." Lyca shook her head. "We are not doing some sentimental I-regretted-not-protecting-you-and-not-helping-you-before stuff." That would be too cringey. "You should go… I hope not to see you again."

Huang Zi Yan wanted to say more, but Lyca already leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. Seeing this, a wry smile appeared on his face. "Goodbye, cousin. Thank you for helping my family. I owe you."
