The Villain’s Wife 671 Conscience
Lily was unaware of what was happening between the siblings. What she was aware of, was the fact that Chen Shi was already making her move.
That night, she scheduled a eting with Jun Liang.
"Are you sure this is it?" Qin Yuanfeng eyed his twin sister. For so reason, he could feel his palm start to sweat. Was he excited? He asked himself inwardly.
"Hmmm. She already t with Ron, her primary accomplice." She answered while eating dried fruits. The eting would happen in a few hours and it seems that Qin Yuanfeng couldn’t stop fidgeting. "Why are you so tense?" She asked.
"I don’t know." Shaking his head, Qin Yuanfeng turned to his computer.
.....
A few hours passed.
Singapore.
Chen Shi started pacing. She bit her lower lip as she folded her hands in front of her chest. In a few minutes, she would have the chance to talk to Jun Liang and ask him about her daughter.
"You should stop pacing." Ron’s voice echoed. "If you can’t decide whether we should do this... then we should just stop you know." After all, Jun Liang was still his brother— the brother he betrayed because of a woman. He stared at Chen Shi’s troubled face before sighing. "If you want— "
"No. " Chen Shi shook her head. "We need to know where our daughter is. And you need to beco the CEO of Lee Group. Everything is already prepared. We can’t back out now." She uttered. Since Jun Liang dared to side with Lily then he should not bla Chen Shi for being rciless.
The thought of Lily and Zhou Jingren made her resolve more solid. She needed to end this now. "What ti is it?" she asked, frowning at her watch. "He should be here any mont now."
"Yani... you know that we can’t really co out from this one right?" Ron asked. "I want to make sure that you really know the consequences of murdering a person."
"What consequences? We are framing Thomas Lee. There will be no consequences for us except for... our conscience." She paused and turned to look at him. "You already lost yours the mont you betrayed your own brother."
Ron clenched his jaw in response. Who would have thought that one day Yani Chen would use this reasoning against him? Unable to stop the guilt form further spreading inside him, Ron lowered his head, as his hand balled into a fists. This was the woman that he chose to love, he chanted inwardly. It was only right that he stood by her side no matter what happened.
"I will call Thomas and tell him my location so he can easily co here." Chen Shi said as she dialed Thomas’ number on her phone. Not long after, she heard the latter’s voice on the other line.
"Hey... Thomas? It’s ... Yani Chen." She uttered, her voice trembling. When Thomas asked her what was wrong, Chen Shi imdiately started telling him her plan to see Jun Liang today.
"You— You probably don’t know this... but... but he used to hurt when we were married. So... so when he asked to see today, I imdiately felt the need to call soone to inform them that if sothing happens to ... I— "
"Okay, calm down." Thomas interrupted him. "You are saying that Jun used to abuse you when you were married years ago?"
"Yes... but I.... I didn’t have the courage to tell anyone about this." She started sobbing. "I... I just feel that I don’t have the choice anymore. I need to tell soone about this.... We don’t really know if... if he will hurt again tonight."
"Yani..." Thomas feigned his surprise. "Then...we should call the police. I an... this could ruin him!"
"Thomas.... Do you really think that I would want to see the man that I used to love in jail?" Her voice was laced with sadness. "While our marriage didn’t work out in the past, it doesn’t an that we lost the love that we had for each other."
"So what are you trying to do now?" Thomas asked. "Do you want to co and watch as you et him?" he offered.
"I— Will you?" Chen Shi said before letting out another sob. "I am so sorry about this... I didn’t an to disturb you but after leaving Singapore... I lost contact with a lot of my friends and I only have your number in my phone."
"No— No... it’s alright. I will help you. Are you seeing him in a public place? Maybe that should help?"
"No... he wants it in a hotel."
"Then... what is your room number? I will co and stay in the other room. Once I hear any disturbance, I will imdiately go to your room. You can leave your door open or just leave your key card outside."
A smile instantly blossod on Chen Shi’s face when she heard Thomas’ words. As expected, not many n would refuse to help a pitiful woman like her. "Thank— Thank you. I don’t know how to thank you for this favor."
"No need. I am coming... just tell your hotel and room number." Thomas said.
"Of course. I will leave my keycard outside as well... just for— security."
A sigh echoed on the other line. "Alright... Yani.... I will see you soon. Take care of yourself."
"Thank you Thomas." Chen Shi bead as she ended the call. She then turned towards Ron. "Everything is set. You should probably leave now." She pulled him up and kissed him on the lips. "I will see you after this. And together... we will conquer the Lee Group, alright?"
....
Unbeknownst to her, Thomas was watching her every move in the room across hers.
After ending the call, Thomas Lee sat next to Mr. B and eyed Jun Liang who was sitting across from him.
"It seems that Lily’s plan is doing well." he uttered before his lips turned up into a smile.
