Mike was puzzled and had a vague sense of impending danger. He subconsciously looked at Lily but noticed her indifference. She
was still sitting there lazily and even adjusted her position. "Mr. Rick, this seems to be an unwelcvisit."
"There's a misunderstanding," Rick said coldly.
At this time, he retracted his hand from Mike's shoulder and walked toward the chair across from Lily. He sat and said, "I chere
because | have squestions | want to ask you two."
Mike's shoulders loosened as he shrugged a little. He immediately froze after hearing Rick's statement.
Lily raised her brows and looked at Rick calmly. "I thought we've said everything in the meeting room."
However, Rick raised his hand coldly and pressed something in his hand. Then a faint "pop" echoed, like a small explosion,

Mike was stunned for a moment. "You..."
"There are too many things in here. | destroyed them." With that, Rick withdrew his hand. "Now, nothing can hinder us from
talking."
"You ruined the CCTVs and aurecorders?" Lily's face remained unchanged until this moment. She frowned slightly.
Rick nodded slightly and continued, "Did you guys kidnap the boss?"
This sudden and direct question made Mike tense up. His eyes widened, and his fingers clenched unconsciously. His heart rose to
his throat as he glanced at Lily.
‘What does he mean? Is he intentionally probing us or rallying for revenge?’
No one could guess Rick’s thoughts from his face, but Mike had already started to think of a plan instinctively.
‘If Rick is here to seek revenge or decides to strike back now, would | have an opportunity to fight back and protect Lily? Can |
ensure her safety?’
Rick turned and glanced at Mike as if he could see through Mike's thoughts. Then Rick coldly said, "You'd have no chance of
winning if you tried to fight me."
Mike was too stunned to speak.
"What about you?!" Rick snapped his head back to look at Lily and continued bluntly, "lI know you cfrom a renowned family of
ancient kickboxers, and I've heard you're highly skilled. However, you're physically disabled right now. Even if you aren't pregnant,

"So, are you asking us to surrender?" Lily guessed his intention, but there was no change on her face.
"No. I'm just saying | have no intentions to fight you. If | do, you'll have no chance to escape from the beginning," he replied
sincerely.
"Rick, what are you trying to say here?" Mike asked despite himself.
Mike rarely had the chance to interact with Rick, nor did he know the latter very well. However, Rick's words confused Mike, who
had no idea what he meant.
"I'm just being frank. You don't need to act in front of me. | want to know the truth." After saying that, Rick threw the thing he held
on the table and leaned back.
Lily glanced at it and noticed it was a tiny controller. It looked like an ordinary car key, but she knew it was not that.
