The Villain’s Wife 290 Paralyzed From the Waist Down
"He was partly lying," Lily said the mont she and Zhuo Jingren boarded the car to make their way to the office. They hadn’t spoken a word since Lily left the apartnt. Zhuo Jingren understood Lily’s need to absorb everything she’d heard.
"How do you know that?" Zhou Jingren asked. "His story sounds legit."
"I can feel that he is still hiding sothing. He doesn’t trust enough yet," she said. Her gaze was on the passing view as she slowly pursed her lips. It is understandable for two strangers to mistrust each other, and in Lily’s opinion, she and her brother are strangers to each other’s lives.
Zhuo Jingren nodded to indicate his acceptance of her viewpoint. After considering her words he asked, "Do you think the threatening part was true?"
"It is," Lily said. "It all makes sense to now. It would be reasonable for her to endure instead of trying to contact my grandmother. At that ti, she had no access to a decent ans of communication. She was alone and soone was monitoring her closely. They had the ability to practically kill Qin Yuanfeng before a call even connected and she could say hello to my grandma."
"I rember he said that Bec tried to contact your grandmother."
"But she didn’t. She was unable to do so," Lily replied swiftly as her gaze beca dark. "She was, however, able to contact soone else."
"Think about it... she was killed almost instantly after we left Qin Mansion. I don’t believe in coincidences. Let start with He Xinlan and Zhang Yifei partying just across the street from where I was supposed to work. Coincidence? No. Then while I was fighting with my mother, she suddenly ntions going back to Europe and giving what I deserve. Coincidence? No. Her tone was too sure. She was not lying at that ti. That was because she had already contacted soone. Soone assured her that she could co back. Soone close to my grandmother."
"You an..." Zhuo Jingren was interrupted when Lily suddenly instructed Daohu to turn around.
"Go to Mr. Rossi’s address," she instructed Daohu before she turned to face Zhuo Jingren. "Send Bei Tian and your n to this address. Prevent them from letting him leave. I think it’s ti that he and I have a good talk."
Her husband gave a curt nod before imdiately making a call to Bei Tian. The latter was still in Sky City with his n as he was in the midst of giving instructions on how to observe and react to Qin Yuanfeng’s activities.He finished the call before asking Lily: "And Qin Mo?"
The re ntion of his na was going to make Lily grind her teeth into a fine dust. Qin Mo.The person who killed her child, the person who made her mother suffer. It would only make sense to assu that he is soone that Zhang Yifei trusts. He must have called her and told her about Lily’s unstoppable force so she decided to co and visit to see for herself. Moreover, Zhang Yifei must be curious about He Xinlan’s disappearance. "Is there a way to make him paralyzed from the waist down?" she asked.
"There is," he answered without batting an eyelid.
"Then do it," she said. "According to our research, Zhang Yifei’s father saved the patriarch’s life when they were in the military. Have you investigated this?"
"Hmmm... he was still young when that happened. Basically, Zhang Yifei has been with them since she was a child. Taking her in after her father’s death was a ans of expressing gratitude for the fact that her father saved the patriarch’s life in the military."
"Any family mbers?" she asked.
"A sister. She is a school teacher in the provinces. Their brother died when they were children," he answered. Seeing Lily fall silent, he slowly held her hand and gave it a little squeeze. "What are you planning to do?" he asked.
"I have never t anyone as ruthless as that woman," Lily said. "I’m trying to understand why would she do it. Was it greed? Did she want to have the Qin Family under her thumb?"
"If she is working with the future patriarch, who is Qin Hao, then... greed could be her only motive for doing this." She added, "Greed is such a powerful motivation."
"If she had been with the Qins since she was a child, it is also possible that she may have developed feelings for Qin Chuan," Zhuo Jingren suggested. "They were betrothed after all. Watching Qin Chuan fall in love with soone else must have broken her heart," Zhuo Jingren added. "Knowing that Qin Chuan and Bec already had a child, she still agreed to marry him. She knew he didn’t love her and yet she still agreed to be bound to him by marriage."
Lily slowly turned her head towards Zhuo Jingren. "Makes sense," she smiled. "Too many possibilities for now. I am taking this slowly. I will launch an attack the mont she arrives.I even intend to join her for dinner."
"What made you so brave all of a sudden?" he asked.
"I was never afraid," Lily retorted. "They need to fully understand that I am coming for them. I have the Yang Family working under . You and George can handle the Black Market and suppress them there. I am confident that I can take them head on."
"This is not your style? Why are you in such a hurry to destroy them?"
"I am not in a hurry. But if Zhang Yifei’s motivation is indeed greed then I will take away what she loves the most: the Qin Family’s money," Lily explained.
"Well then... Mrs. Zhuo, I am on board. Just tell what you need from ," Zhuo Jingren said with a smile that was just civilised enough to hide the brewing savagery in his eyes.
Lily nodded in agreent. She knew he would always be there for her. "Zhang Yifei is coming... The tiger is going to leave the mountain." Lily narrowed her eyes as her lips curled into a sinister smile. "Wrong move," she said softly with a sinister grin.
....
anwhile, the mont Lily left, Qin Yuanfeng instantly took a bath and started rubbing salt onto his skin. His arms turned red as he continued to rub them as if he was trying to remove sothing. His shower lasted for hours as he repeated the process again and again.
By the ti Qin Yuanfeng finished his shower, it was already dark outside and his door had been repaired. He sat on his bed and stared blankly at his computer array of dual monitors as well as keyboards before letting out a huge sigh. Lily did not believe him, he thought before he lowered his head. He could see it in her eyes. She does not believe him.
He had underestimated Lily’s capability and he regretted it. He should have just told her everything. He regretted thinking that she would believe whatever he told her because of his sad childhood. He had forgotten that she was his sister and not so tool that he could use for revenge.
Qin Yuanfeng clenched his jaw as he felt a familiar anger rising from his chest. His breathing beca quicker as he tried his best to suppress himself. He ran to his bedside table and used all the strength he had to inject himself with sothing that could make him feel calm. He needed to calm himself and avoid having another aggressive outburst. After sensing that his anger had subsided a little, Qin Yuanfeng took a pill and swallowed it with water.
He needed to sleep. Tomorrow, he will visit Lily and talk to her again. Right now, she is the only one who can help him. This ti... This ti he will tell her everything that she needs to know.
