The Villain's Wife

"Open it!" Chen Shi said after a few minutes of pacing. "Now! Open it now." She added. After much deliberation, Chen Shi realized this must be about her daughter.

What if her daughter was indeed kidnapped and they now want some ransom money? What if her daughter was still in trouble? Chen Shi started fidgeting. She sat on the couch and watched as Chen Luan opened her laptop.

Then a gasp escaped her lips. Her eyes widened, her mouth agape. Chen Shi's body trembled.

"This…" she muttered under her breath. "How did they get this?" She rose from her seat. "How did they get this!?" She screamed.

"I— I don't know." Chen Luan answered. He always thought there was no evidence of Chen Shi's past schemes. But this…

"This is fake. This must be fake! Someone is threatening me! Someone wants money from me!" Chen Shi fumed. For the umpteenth time she started pacing around the living room. "It must be Lily! There is no other person capable of doing this to me! It must be her!"

"But… "

"No buts! This is Lily! This should be the reason why Jun Liang was so confident in declining my order! He found a backer! Hah! He actually colluded with Lily! That man— That man deserves to die!"

"Alright… I think we should calm down. I think we should just— "

"No! That person deserves punishment! Jun Liang deserves to die! I am going to Singapore. Book me a flight to Singapore now!"

"Wait— the message is not done." Chen Luan pointed at the laptop screen to let Chen Shi see the account numbers flashing on the screen.

*If you want the original file*

*Send 10 Million in USD*

Account Number: 1000*******

"This— Isn't this an account number of a swiss bank?" Chen Luan said.

"Damn him. I'm sure he told Lily about this! I will kill that Jun Liang! I will kill him!"

"I think we should calm down and think about it." Chen Luan suggested. Even after many years of working for Chen Shi he had never seen her this upset, her crazed eyes were scaring him. "Please… let me get some water for you."

"Book me a flight to Singapore. I will kill Jun Liang myself. The Lee Group is mine and I will get it from the people who stole it from my aunt. This— I have been playing this game for so long. It is time to end it."

…..

Facci Group

"She panicked." Qin Yuanfeng looked at Lily's smiling face.

"Isn't it fun?" Lily said, she leaned against her chair, her eyes were glued to one of the screens on Qin Yuanfeng's computer. "She will go to Singapore and kill Jun Liang… let me tell you what she will do next."

"What are you, some sort of fortune teller?" He raised an eyebrow.

Lily chuckled in response. "How about a bet?" She asked. "Do you want to bet with me?"

"What bet?"

"She will kill Jun Liang and frame someone from the Lee Family… or attempt to frame me."

Qin Yuanfeng turned silent at the certainty in Lily's voice. "You seem very confident?"

"I am confident." She turned towards him, meeting his eyes that looked exactly identical to hers. "So? Are you in?"

"Alright… let's bet. But… I don't have the money to— "

"Nah… If I win… you work under me. You will work with Yang Mi and accompany me all the time."

"You want me to learn from you?"

"Don't you want to?" She fired back. "If you win… Facci Group is yours."

"What?" He asked, confused. Could Lily be this confident that Chen Shi would do one of the things that she said? "But… I want to know what makes you so confident about this. I mean… betting the Facci Group? Isn't that too courageous?"

Lily raised an eyebrow, a sly smile was plastered on her face. "Are you in?" She asked, ignoring Qin Yuanfeng's questions.

"Alright. Let's bet."

"Good."

"So? Are you going to answer my questions now?�� He watched as Lily turned towards the screen again. The same smile was on her face.

"Chen Shi is about to send you money. You should spend it properly." Lily said.

Qin Yuanfeng turned towards the screen and as expected, Chen Shi was indeed giving directions to Chen Luan about the money. He shifted his gaze back to Lily. "How did you know that she would send the money?"

"She wants to buy time." Lily said. "She knows money won't solve anything but death will." Lily folded her arms across her chest. "She wants to make sure Jun Liang is indeed working with me. She also wants to make sure that the money is for Jun Liang. Of course… there is no way she would know this. I mean… she does not have someone like you." Lily shrugged.

"You still didn't answer my questions." He uttered. "How do you know she will kill Jun Liang and frame someone from the Lee Family? Or frame you?"

"Actually framing me is too far fetched. So… If she wants to frame anyone it should be Thomas. That will make him a criminal and his son, the new CEO of Lee Group." Lily answered.

"I know what will happen if Thomas is framed. I am asking you … how do you know this will happen? How are you so sure? You are even willing to bet a multi-million dollar company."

Lily raised an eyebrow. "How do you know I am not faking it? How can you tell I am so sure it will happen?"

Qin Yuanfeng turned speechless, he opened his mouth only to end up closing it again. He wasn't really sure what to say. The sound of Lily's laughter echoed inside his office, her head fell back, amusement apparent in her eyes.

"I am joking." She uttered. However, this only made Qin Yuanfeng frown. What kind of joke is that? Did he miss something? He stared at her, confused. What part of that is the joke? The bet?

"My dear brother…" Lily said while shaking her head. "It seems our brains… have different frequencies." She uttered. "It should be fun working with you."
