Lazily Yours.

Chapter 417: Talker

Long Yi balled his hand into fists as he tried to stop his arms from shaking. He squinted, eyes focused at the current reports that Shen Qui was showing him.

"You This is This is not real."

Instead of saying anything, Shen Qui stood. It was his time to say goodbye. This conversation was done. "I still have another meeting to attend to Mr. Long. Send my regards to your father," he smiled and walked out of the private room without even waiting for Long Yi to say anything.

"Release a press release tomorrow. Huang Security is officially under LS Group." Shen Qui uttered the moment he left the room as Ronan nodded and started to take down notes. "Tomorrow, release the report that I just gave to Long Yi."

A part of Shen Qui's plan was to give the news to Long Yi in advance. He wasn't giving Long Yi a chance to fight back. Instead, he wanted him to panic and make more mistakes. Walking out of the restaurant, Shen Qui was surprised to see two military men standing by the door.

The two instantly approached him and announced their names. They then invited him to a car that was waiting just a few feet away from the restaurant entrance. The two refused to tell him who is the person inside the car and just told him that it is vital that he talk to this person.

Shen Qui looked at the tinted black BMW before turning his gaze to Ronan. "Cancel my next meeting. Go to the mansion."

For a few seconds, a flash of worry glinted in Ronan's eyes before he nodded and walked towards his car. After all, the two military men standing were both captains. They even showed IDs to prove their identities. Someone who could easily make two Captains their errand boy was definitely not a simple person.

"Mr. Shen"

The man inside the car was young. Probably in his thirties, his eyes looked just like Shen Qui's. Intelligent, cunning, and ruthless. It reminded him of himself too much. He couldn't help but stare at it for a few seconds.

"Ah, where are my manners. I'm sorry. Please call me Dr. Xu. Dr. Ken Xu. I worked with NSA. I don't think we need any ID as you could easily search my name online. Though my photos are not on the Internet." A smile appeared on his face. "Please excuse my rudeness. I invited you without having an appointment."

"Dr. Xu " Shen Qui remembered Lyca being interested in the Xu Family, specifically the man who gave the painting and stones to the elders in the Chu Family. Shen Qui's memory was sharp enough to know that this man was someone that Lyca already investigated before. However, since Lyca didn't talk to him about it, he didn't ask any questions and took it as a part of her curiosity. "It's my pleasure to meet the great Dr. Xu."

"You have heard about me?"

"The Chu Family talked about the best doctor in Xu Country. It was said that he was a young doctor who might have the ability to help Mr. Chu Munan. However, the Chu Family didn't dare asked the Xu Family because they knew of Dr. Xu's importance in the country."

Ken smirked. He didn't know that this Shen Qui was quite a smooth talker. "I see " he nodded. "Well then would you like to have some wine? This one" Ken held a gourd made of glass. "This is something that I made myself. It had a lot of health benefits."

Shen Qui shook his head. "My apologies. But my health had been a little bad lately. It must be the stress. I no longer drink alcohol."

"Is that so?" Ken cocked an eyebrow. Smiling, he poured himself a glass of scarlet red wine and started tilting the wine glass. "You were actually the first person who wasn't so nervous upon knowing my identity."

Shen Qui didn't answer him. The car soon moved slowly along the streets of Long City. "Don't worry, this is just a little tour." Ken's voice was soft and gentle. It reminded Shen Qui of a doctor's voice every time they talked to a dying patient. It reminded him of the doctor that informed him that his uncle was dying. It had a tinge of sympathy. But it wasn't enough to hide the apathy in Ken's eyes.

"Mr. Xu is jesting. I don't think people would get nervous upon knowing you. I believe your brilliance would be enough to make them speechless."

Xu Ke sneered inwardly. Now he understood that this Shen Qui wasn't a simple person. Was this the reason why Lyca married him? After that night, he already knew that this marriage was sudden. She married her bodyguard to avoid another marriage.

This made Xu Ke confused. His woman was not someone who would just marry a guy to avoid another marriage. She was brave and emotional. She would rather die than marry someone she didn't love.

Because of this, he decided to see Shen Qui. He wanted to know what kind of man she married in this world. In the end, Xu Ke only became confused. This man was a talker. She didn't like that.

She liked silence. She like someone that could accompany her for days without speaking. She was an assassin, and talking wasn't her strongest talent. She would prefer killing her enemies directly instead of talking.

So why marry someone who could talk like this?

"Anyway I am here because I wanted to offer you something." Ken took a sip of his wine. "I wanted you to become a consultant for the military. In return, you will have a Colonel rank, and you will be recognized in the country."

"Consultant?" For what? "Dr. Xu I don't seem to understand why you would choose a small-time businessman like me as a consultant?"

"Mr. Shen let's stop the pretense. You already know what I want. The weapon. The weapon that you have. The one that reacted to gun powder. I want it."
