The Villain's Wife

"Please Mr. Qin… I will not do this again." The woman kneeled, fear apparent in her eyes. In response, Qin Yuanfeng sneered. He narrowed his eyes at the woman's clothing.

"Hurry," he said before ending the call with the security personnel. Lately, women had been trying all kinds of tricks to get closer to him. At first, he thought this was only because he was new here. However, the tricks that these women used seemed to have become more and more pathetic.

He watched as the woman broke down on the floor. Trembling under his scrutinizing gaze. Unfazed, Qin Yuanfeng turned his attention towards his computer instead. Women were fickle creatures— scary fickle creatures. It was in his best interest to avoid them as much as possible.

After a few minutes, two security arrived with a couple of cleaning crew in tow. This was not the first time that this had happened in Qin Yuanfeng's office, so the group was already familiar with the things that they were required to do without any instructions given to them.

Seeing Qin Yuanfeng busy with his computer, the security and cleaning crew silently did their job without saying anything. When Qin Yuanfeng saw the cleaning crew leave, he opened his phone and dialed Zhou Jingren's number.

"It's me. I fired another person today. Maybe it's best that you take her and ask who sent her inside the Facci Group just to try and get close to me."

"Alright." When he heard Zhou Jingren's confirmation, he nodded and ended the call. In times like this, trust was not something that he just could give to other people. To be honest, the only two people that he had trust in for now were Lily and Zhou Jingren and he firmly believed that telling them his observation was the right thing to do.

With this in mind, he sent Zhou Jingren the file of the fourth woman that he fired just this month and the other two last month. This needed to be stopped.

Zhou Capital

"What?" Lily asked. "Isn't that normal? He is quite a good looking guy. Women are always attracted to good looking ones. At least… women like me." She chuckled. "But yes, it is always better to be thorough."

"Are you saying that women are only attracted to good looks? There are women who are attracted to the rich and famous too. It might not be the looks alone."

"Husband…" Lily started. She propped her chin on her palms as she grinned. "I think… it's not being rich and successful that attracts women. I think… it's this mentality that men with dreams and ambitions, and are willing to do something about it are hotter than those who don't."

"Alpha males?" Zhou Jingren asked.

"Hmmm… You know… the cold, ruthless, rich and handsome CEOs." Lily giggled. Zhou Jingren shook his head at Lily's statement.

"Our men are already interrogating the woman that was just fired today." He said.

Lily pursed her lips. She shifted her gaze towards the floor to ceiling glass window. "Yuanfeng is not someone that they should mess with. He already learned his lesson and is smart enough to avoid repeating it. Unlike his father."

"By the way… Su Ma woke up." Zhou Jingren said. "Our people are closely watching them." Lily didn't say anything. Those people did not even deserve a sentence from her. Instead, she smiled to herself. Watching that Tang Lingyun and Qin Chuan deal with each other would be entertaining.

Lily was not a hundred percent sure that Qin Chuan would believe her. But, she had already planted the seeds of doubt inside him. All she needed to do was wait for it to grow and mature.

Lily had said that she wouldn't get involved with Qin Chuan anymore and she would stay true to that. However, she never said that she would leave Su Ma alone. The fact that she had the audacity to imitate her mother was enough to warrant her death.

However, this was too early. Everything was too early. Moreover, Lily was waiting for Su Ma to make some mistakes, any mistake which would lead them to the real culprit behind all this.

Lily was not a very forgiving person. She was petty and she did not just forget the people who offended her. And this Su Ma? Well… She would receive her own punishment soon enough.

"That woman is claiming to be a voice actress right? We should be able to find some recordings of her voice. We should compare that to her current voice. I mean… some people might sound alike but each of us have our own unique voice because of the folds of our vocals. Maybe she practiced and had some training but… there is no way she would be able to copy the real Su Ma's voice."

"Alright." Zhou Jingren nodded and dialed Bei Tian's number. He then informed him of Lily's plan. The reason why they didn't do this before is because they wanted to be careful.

They didn't want the person behind this to notice that they were investigating Su Ma. They only wanted them to think that their plans were succeeding with no issues. They wanted to paint it as if Lily had been affected by this scheme.

The person behind this was using the 'Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao' strategy which was a good strategy against a stronger opponent like Lily and Zhou Jingren. Since the enemy cannot face them directly, they tried to create a problem elsewhere. They attacked, what they thought was very important to Lily to distract her from their true objective.

Well, if Qin Chuan was that important to Lily then… they might have succeeded. But he is not. To someone like Lily who never experienced a fatherly love, Qin Chuan's existence is easily replaceable by the people who truly cared for her. George and Mr. Rossi were good examples of this. Even Cathy's presence could easily replace Qin Chuan as she had been beside Lily, guiding her along with Lilian.

Now that the conflict between Lily and her father had been established. This will make the enemy think that victory was coming their way. And this— this was the right time for them to counter attack.
