The Villain's Wife 729 Angry For Your SakeThe Peak

"Are you sure about this?" Bei Tian's face immediately turned ugly. "What if it was Tang Lingyun? Maybe she told them about it?"
"No. Tang Lingyun was not aware. She didn't know what Lily did to the Yang Family. Even Xuan Hui and the others were not sure if it was Lily who really did it."
"But— Xuan Hui did not really mention anything about the conversation, yes? What if it was only because of what happened to his wife? Surely, it was enough for them to know that it was Lily?"
"I can't be sure." Zhou Jingren stood as he looked out on the window. "Actually I am not sure. I feel like someone is watching us. When Xuan Hui told him about the foreigner then… I immediately assumed that they had a spy. It is just a feeling that I can't let go."
"Then… are we going to do something about this— feeling?" Bei Tian said. "I mean… that is so unlike you."
"I know. Trust me��� I know."
"So?"
"We��re taking Qi Xia."
"Hm? Taking someone in broad daylight is illegal." Bei Tian chuckled.
"And so is taking someone when it's night time." Zhou Jingren turned towards the only person aside from Lily that he would trust with his life. "Uncle already tried to talk with his son. However, until now, he is still cooped up in his house. If Lily is right, then Zhou Huifang does not have long to live."
"And?"
"Lily said they want to frame it either on her or me. So… we are framing Qi Xia."
"You— "
"Yes, we will take him, frame him for killing his friend, torture him until he tells us who is behind this and then... kill him." Zhou Jingren titled his head. Slowly, a sinister smile bloomed in his face. "That man has been acting like a fly lately. Buzzing in my ears, tempting me to crush him."
"I heard that you asked Qin Yuanfeng to play with him?"
"Hmm." He nodded. "He still has access to his system. He can ruin it anytime."
Zhou Jingren continued, "I had suspicions that he was working with someone before, and I wanted Qin Yuanfeng to find out if it was connected to his business. Apparently, it's not. This means that the person behind them may not be associated with them or even close to them. Maybe someone who they just met. Or someone who recently approached them."
"Good thinking."
"Hmmm. Now however, I am sure that it is not related to them. But it should be someone powerful or else, they would not be this confident. Even Zhou Huifang really tried to tell Lily about my past."
"We have offended a lot of people but I am almost a hundred percent sure that we haven't offended someone outside of Asia. We are not that powerful to even fight against those Itallians or those Mexicans. So— a foreigner? Do you think— "
"It should be Lily." Zhou Jingren said. "She made a lot of enemies. Companies that she forcibly took from people, families that she ruined."
"You are making it sound as if she is more evil than us. At least… she didn't kill anyone— she killed one but that was self defense."
Zhou Jingren raised an eyebrow at his words. "It is not about who is more evil or who is more kind. It is about our past. Lily is a cruel business woman. She may act like this now but… her history, the things that I read about her signifies that she had her own enemies, people that she offended for the sake of… profits." He shook his head. "And sometimes, leaving someone alive is more cruel than death. Letting them stand by the sidelines and watch as their companies are being ruined before their eyes is just as excruciating— if not more painful than death."
This is the reason why a part of him was always against Lily's style of dealing with enemies. It was too cruel, too malicious. Still, he was not planning to ask her to change her ways. Lily was not a perfect human. She too has made mistakes, lots of them, she does not know a lot of things. However, all these imperfections made her into who she was today, it made her realistic, it made her... human.
And no matter how imperfect she was, Lily was still the woman that he loved.
Bei Tian smiled. "Seeing you worry about other people's past is refreshing. But yes, I would agree with this logic. She fought against corporations and multinational companies. It is normal for her to acquire the ire of those people." He made a deliberate pause before he gave him an assuring smile. "Stop worrying too much. We will eventually find out who it is. Just to make sure, I will stay in Mainland China and will personally take care of things here."
"Thank you," Zhou Jingren sighed. With their past, slowly coming back to bite them in the ass, Zhou Jingren was worried that their future might become more turbulent than what they were experiencing today.
"Being worried doesn't suit you." Bei Tian chuckled. "It adds wrinkles to your face." He uttered. "Lily doesn't like ugly people. She might stop liking you once you get too old for her taste."
"You are still sulking about the kid?" Zhou Jingren teased. "He does look like a teenager."
"Still! He really had the guts to give her some flowers! You should be angry about this."
"Lily doesn't like the fragrance of flowers. She's allergic. I'm sure that flower ended up In the bin."
"She is?" Bei Tian widened his eyes. "Alright then… I will forgive that kid."
"You are so childish."
"I was only angry for your sake!"Bei Tian hissed. "And I have the right to be angry." Even he did not have the guts to give Lily at least one flower! How could he let other men give her flowers just like that? He pouted. "I will leave now. I will give you some updates once I arrive in mainland china."
"Hmmm." Zhou Jingren leaned against his chair as he watched Bei Tian leave the room, with a complicated look on his face.
