Chapter 197: Ridiculed

While Lyca is relaxing and having a good time with her husband, Long Yi and Huang Xiaoxuan were stressing over the fact that the newly manufactured bullets were not working.

This wasn't just not working because of the gun malfunction or because the shooter lacked skill. This was the bullet losing its properties. The chemicals inside the bullet were not doing their job, it stopped melting alloy and flesh. This prompted a lot of people to file an official complaint. Even the government agencies who had the same bullet started sending them questions.

In the end, Long Yi and his father was forced to pull out all of the bullets in the market. This, of course, cost a lot of money. 

"So… until now… we weren't able to determine why the bullet stopped working? Why are they taking this long? Should we hire a new research team?" Patriarch Long's face was dark and gloomy. Huge eyebags can be seen under his eyes which made him looked scarier than before. He started pacing in front of Long Yi's table, his hand was on his pockets as he continued. "You said that the letter came from overseas? How come our security team didn't notice that something was wrong? Wasn't it too pink and sparkly?"

"Exactly. They thought a high schooler made it." Long Yi clenched his jaw as he met his father's eyes. "I think it was Lyca."

"Lyca…" That was enough to make his father silent. "I thought she left the country?"

"That was the previous assumption. The letter was also showing that it is from overseas. There is a possibility that it was her, Lyca." Long Yi uttered. "I believe it is high time that we use her parents to pressure her. The last time that we did it… we didn't toucher her parents because of Huang Ying's fear that she would come back and haunt us. Well… that was years ago. Now… she is back. So, we should also use all the things that we can to make her give up this useless pursuit of… revenge."

"You think this is still useless to her?" his father clicked his tongue. "Yi… I am disappointed in you."

"Father…"

"This is personal to that woman! This isn't useless! We all know how she had been really attached to her parents! Once we touch them… can you assure me that she wouldn't send something that would kill us all?"

Long Yi's lips thinned. His father actually had a point. However, this wasn't enough to change his mind. Long Yi was someone who considered himself resourceful and ruthless. He would always use everything as long as it would benefit him in the end.

"I want you to make your people in the black market watch out for new bullets. Since she ruined the bullet that she made then, she must be planning a comeback. Perhaps another bullet with the same function. We should watch out for new ones. She would definitely start doing this in the black market." Patriarch Long uttered before he strode out of Long Yi's office. Unfortunately, Long Yi was someone who always listens to his initial instinct. 

This incident alone was enough to tell him that Lyca wasn't someone that he and his father could tame. She is a dangerous enemy. And just like all dangerous enemies that they had, Long Yi was planning to crush Lyca to a pulp.

With this in mind, he immediately went out of his office. Using a secret access that would allow him to leave the building anytime, Long Yi secretly left and made sure to give instructions not to tell anyone else where he was going. 

Then Long Yi went to the Huang Security, the place that became a prison for Huang Sheng Hong. Of course, his wife was still in the Huang Family mansion. It had been a few months now since they decided not to let Huang Sheng Hong and his wife stay together in the same area.
