Lazily Yours.

Chapter 458: Suicidal Plan

When Lyca walked inside the Shen Mansion, she didn't miss the sinister and dark aura that she felt. It was as if, a lot of people already lost their lives in this place. She glanced at the gray minimalistic style of the mansion. It was clean, detached from any personal emotions that an old mansion should have. She eyed the huge portrait of the Shen Family hanging by the wall that would lead her to the stairs. They were wearing formal black and white clothes. A tight-lipped smile was apparent on their faces.

Yet, the smile never reached their eyes.

"This way, please."

The man leading her inside said. He introduced himself as the head of the security. Tall and bulk, the man said his name was Lynch just Lynch. With no last names.

Lyca nodded and looked at the man who walked next to her. Anthony never walked a step in front of Lyca. The man led her towards the second floor of the mansion and into a huge room that she assumed was the meeting room of the Shen Family.

"To come here alone after what you did to my son and granddaughter was a very bold move." Old Man Shen's voice welcomed her. She smiled and looked around. The room was filled with people she didn't recognize. She assumed they were his security detail since they were standing against the paneled walls.

Without saying anything, Lyca sat on one of the empty chairs on the circular wooden table. "I'm surprised you actually followed my words and didn't touch any of my family members."

Old Man Shen snorted. After the poisonous gas that was released in one of his plants, he had no other choice but to follow her. He hated it. The thought of it gave him some eating and sleeping problems. "Give us the antidote."

Lyca snorted, lips lifting into a smug smirk. "I'm thirsty. I need water."

"Give her water!" Old Man Shen said. "Enough with the bullshit. I know you need something from my Shen Family! Tell me! What is it?"

"Codes," Lyca said. "Launch codes."

"You "

"Nuclear launch codes. I know the Shen and Xu have nuclear plants. I know all about nuclear bombs. I want the codes." This was something that she learned from Lai Su.

"What are you planning to do with the codes?"

"Play with it." Sarcasm laced her voice. Obviously, she is going to use it. The right question should inquire about the Who, not about the What. She snorted and eyed Shen Jiaojiao. In a few days, the woman already lost a lot of weight, her cheekbones were sharp, collarbones can be seen protroding out from her red blouse.

"Stop the nonsense! I am not giving you the code."

"Then you can watch them die." Lyca smiled. The code is a set of fifty numbers and letters that only the patriarch of the family knows. The thing is, the codes are considered permanent. Even the patriarch can't change it.

"Father Just give her the code." Shen Qiaosong tried to signal his father using his eyes. Old Man Shen could always give her the wrong codes. The only way to confirm if the codes were right is to enter them. And to enter the codes, one needed a target coordinate.

"You won't be able to use the codes without my blood. The blood of the Shen." After old man Shen mentioned this, his face froze.

"I know. Isn't that why I have your grandson?"

"You "

Lyca sneered. "I want it and you have two minutes to give it to me. The codes in exchange for your son and granddaughter's life. I think it's a fair choice!? Don't you think so?"

*BANG!*

The old man's hand slamming against the table made it tremble. "How dare you! Do you really think we are someone that you could just bully?'

"It's better to bully and to be bullied," Lyca answered almost immediately. Hearing her words made the old man's face contort with anger and pure rage. He wanted to kill her.

"Father"

His thoughts were interrupted when Shen Qiaosong started coughing. "I Father "

"What's happening?" Old Man Shen's voice trembled when he saw the blood in Shen Qiaosong's hand. "What did you do?"

"Oh! Man I forgot to say something." Lyca shook her head. "This is not my fault, alright? I was too busy. I forgot about it."

"What What are you cough cough " Even Shen Jiaojiao started coughing up blood.

"Lyca! What is going on!?"

"It's the guns!" Lyca said. "I gave them something that would change the composition of the blood. Blood has iron and well it's hard to explain. But it should be because they are around people with steel, metals, and iron around them. Like a gun or knife you know. Dangerous stuff." Despite her light tone, there wasn't a hint of amusement in Lyca's eyes.

She stared at the surprised face of old man Shen. "You should remove everyone with guns or throw away anything metal, iron, and steel in this room. "In fact, this is something that Lyca triggered. She used a chemical in her perfume that could stimulate the blood of the people who took her poison.

"Belts and anything with iron should be removed. Or they will die." Lyca said. "I'm not wearing anything metal to avoid that. But" She looked around at the people surrounding them. "Your people are. Too much heavy iron inside the room must have triggered it."

"You remove your weapons! Throw it outside! Hurry!" Old Man Shen said, face paling. He gritted his teeth as he fell into another abyss of helplessness. He was rich and famous. But he never thought that one day, he would have an enemy as crafty as this woman.

Of course, he knew that her goal was to break into their defenses.

And she just succeeded.

While Old Man Shen wasn't sure about Lyca's words, he didn't actually want to risk it. What would happen if his son and grandchild would die? What would happen to the Shen family without the heir? He met Lyca's eyes. The smile on her face only made him more infuriated.

For some reason, he felt that this woman was intentionally provoking them. However, he couldn't understand why she would do something akin to suicide? Was she that stupid? Or she had another plan?
