Lazily Yours.

Chapter 432: A Lifesaver

"Long Yi was arrested just this morning."

This was the news that Lyca walked into when she left the guest room with Shen Qui. Tang Ruyi was giving her a meaningful look as she continued. "He was admitted to the hospital early in the morning because he couldn't move his legs anymore. They said his legs were just numbed."

"Hmmm probably because of his age," Lyca calmly said before stuffing some bacon in her mouth. Earlier, Shen Qui made some slices of bacon and eggs for her. When she asked him if he already had breakfast, he shook his head. Because of this, Lyca dragged him out of the room. "By the way your clothes look too big on me. Did you gain weight again?" She asked Tang Ruyi.

"Is that really something you should ask your single unmarried cousin?" Tang Ruyi's face reddened. "And I did gain some muscles. Not fat!" If only she could be like Lyca, who eats like a beast and still has her slim arms, then she would be thrilled! Tang Ruyi works in the military. It is natural for her to have a muscular physique, her biceps were naturally bigger than those of normal women.

She guessed that her powerful-looking arms were the reason all of her blind dates get scared of her.

"So. Long Yi" Tang Ruyi dragged his name. "I heard he tried to approach you last night?"

"Hm," Lyca smiled at Shen Qui when he added more eggs to her plate. "He is crazy."

"Did he kill his wife?"

"Oh? They already found the body?" Lyca asked.

"So you knew" Tang Ruyi furrowed her brows. "If you told me that Long Yi was actually this despicable, I would have slapped him last night too! Jinyi was able to land a punch. It's not fair." Seeing Lyca maintained her silence, Tang Ruyi started asking questions about Huang Xiaoxuan. "So she just gave birth? How could she liked someone like Long Yi?"

"Some people like someone they couldn't have," Shen Qui answered. "Sometimes it's human instinct to feel challenged, to love the thrill of chasing and getting what they wanted. It's crazy."

"Long Yi's father, was unfortunate to have someone like him as a son," Old Man Tang spoke while reading the newspaper. He stared at Lyca. "I was wondering how the body turned up at the beach. It's not like they just left the body after throwing it. They must have used some rocks. Now, I completely understand how it happened."

Lyca just smiled but didn't say anything.

"I cannot imagine Huang Li Duo's ire." Old Man Tang continued. "But considering what he did to his own father I can say that this is Karma."

"Strange right?" Shen Qui asked. "How the world would give you back what you have given. This time ten times or hundred times worse than what you did."

"Anyway, the gift"

"We can talk about it after breakfast, grandfather." Shen Qui smiled at the old man.

"What gift? Oh, my god! I forgot to ask about that gift! There was a strange topic last night. They said that you gifted something to grandfather with a special security system! It could actually detect smell?" Tang Ruyi became so excited. "Heh, cousin you know that I am your best friend and the only person who knows everything that you made sense you were a child."

"It's because I was testing it on you," Lyca said.

"That's not my point!" Tang Ruyi frowned. "Point is if you created something like this, you should make me test it first! I thought I am your most loyal product tester?"

"I knew this would happen," Lyca said under her breath. She didn't want her grandfather to open the gift last night, not because of the surrounding people. It was because of Tang Ruyi. This woman would never leave her alone now.

Lyca met her grandfather's amused eyes and silently hoped that he would come to her rescue. And he did.

"Alright Ruyi, stop bothering your cousin. If she wanted to give you one, she will. Act like a woman and stop blabbering like a bird."

"But grandfather!"

"I will wait for the two of you in my office."

Shen Qui smiled and nodded at the old man. To be honest, he liked the Tang Family better than the Huang's. He felt that the old man is sincere and direct. Strict, but definitely caring. Even Lyca's uncles and aunts were better people, too. Of course, there was also Tang Ruyi and Tang Jinyi who were quite close to Lyca.

For some reason, he felt closer to the Tang Family.

Of course, when the two arrived in Grandpa Tang's office, Tang Ruyi tagged along. She insisted that she needed to see the gift too. In the end, Grandfather Tang showed Tang Ruyi the gift along with Lyca and Shen Qui.

"This What is this metal?" Tang Ruyi asked.

"Don't touch it. This was programmed for grandfather so no one else can touch it."

"What happens if I touch it?

"It will produce electricity enough to make you faint."

Tang Ruyi turned even more excited. She looked like Lyca and blinked her beautiful large eyes towards her cousin. Lyca rolled her eyes and didn't look at her cousin anymore. Actually, she was planning to give her something too. However, she wasn't some superwoman. Making those items was difficult, and it would take some time.

It's not something that Lyca could just finish overnight.

Shen Qui immediately showed the old man how to attach the armor to his chest. "It can withstand a 50 caliber bullet. It is soft and light, meaning it is easier to wear than a bulletproof vest. Aside from this it had this feature too." Shen Qui pressed something, and almost immediately the metal slowly moved and became even thinner. "If you remove your clothes and put this directly to your chest and back, it is completely undetectable."

"This " Old Man Tang and Tang Ruyi said almost at the same time. "This is a lifesaver!"
