Two days after Madam He left, Lily received a message from the latter. It was an image of her in an airport with her luggage. She told Lily that her divorce was finalized and she was about to leave the country. She also hoped that one day, she would be able to meet with Lily again.
“Really?” Lily lifted an eyebrow as she continued to listen to Yang Mi’s report. She eyed the image from her phone before turning it off. “She personally showed Gannon’s grandfather the evidence? So… what is happening with the Liu Family now?”
“It was chaos.” Yang Mi said. “Gannon’s grandfather disowned him and was upset with Madam Liu. Now Mr. And Mrs. Liu are trying to pacify the old man. But it seems that whatever Madam He said to the old man was very effective as he is now threatening to remove them from his will if they keep on pestering him.” Yang Mi pursed her lips before she continued. “Also… I believe Madam He included Gannon’s past and the evidence about Liu Chin as the old man is really mad at the siblings right now.”
“She did a good job.” Lily smiled. Madam He was a smart and vicious woman. Lily knew that she would deal with Gannon before leaving but she did not expect she would deal with the whole Liu Family as well. “She might have recorded the conversation I had with the Liu’s and… let the old man listen to it.”
“That is highly possible.” Yang Mi agreed. Lily always knew how to choose who she associated herself with. Maybe it was an innate talent, but she was really good at recognizing the viciousness in people.
Lily gave a tight lipped smile before she turned towards the pool. She couldn’t help but wonder if Mr. He was able to forgive Xun Yiyi after she confessed to everything that had happened. But this was not her concern anymore.
“I heard Su Ma was already released from the hospital?” Lily sipped into her hot morning tea before she opened her laptop to read the current news online.
“Yes, President, Su Ma was released yesterday. She was already in Mainland China with Mr. Qin.”
“Hm. Good for her.” Seeing that there was no interesting news, Lily closed the tablet and started eating some fruits. When she woke up earlier, Zhou Jingren had already left for his office. “I will visit Qin Yuanfeng today, Chen Shi was already in Singapore for too long, her plans should be in its final stages by now.” She said. She wondered what Qi Xia and Zhou Huifang would do once they knew Chen Shi was doing her own thing in Singapore.
Lily rose from her seat and went to her room so she could change her clothing. She then went to see her brother dearest in Facci Group.
…
Mainland China
“She went to Singapore?” A line appeared in between Zhou Huifang’s brows. He squinted at the coffee in his hands before meeting Qi Xia’s eyes. “Is she dumb?”
“I can understand her. She does not really trust us. It will be hard for her to become our puppet. She is also smart and cunning. She would not just believe something because of our mere assumptions.”
“Or maybe…” Zhou Huifang placed his coffee on top of his mahogany table. “Maybe she does not really care about Lily and Zhou Jingren. Maybe her goal is different than ours.”
“She is a liability.” Qi Xia uttered. “We already revealed ourselves to her.”
“I know.”
“Then… shall we dispose of her?”
“No.” Zhou Huifang slowly shook his head. “We can’t do that. She is too smart for that. She could easily predict that once we deem her as useless, we would try to silence her. So… it is safe to conclude she is prepared.”
“I told you we shouldn’t have approached her. Huifang… I don’t want any problems. We can’t afford to make mistakes now.”
“I know.” Zhou Huifang nodded. “Tang Lingyun is actually doing her part. Lily and her father’s relationship is already broken before it even started. I’m sure that woman will play her part well. She will soon serve her own purpose.”
A snort escaped Qi Xia’s lips. “We saved her from the police. She owes us her life. But… that woman is not making Lily busy. Lily is not even leaving Zhou Jingren’s side.” If this continues how is he going to have the chance to approach her? How is he going to have the chance to act as her knight in shining armor? How is he going to have her in his arms?
“I know what you mean.” Zhou Huifang nodded, understanding flashed in his eyes. They are planning to take away everything from Zhou Jingren. His money, his woman, his company. Everything…
However, this was going to be hard if Lily was around. When dealing with a super power, the best way is not to engage them in a fight. “I am trying to contact that man who we talked to. But it seems he is not around anymore. His number is unreachable.” He recalled the blue eyed man who promised to help them as long as they have a plan against Zhou Jingren.
“Maybe the man is just busy.” Qi Xia shrugged. “Or maybe… he got cold feet. We don’t even know why he hated Zhou Jingren or why he really wanted to help us. At this point, we can’t really trust anyone aside from the two of us.”
“Hm.” Zhou Huifang agreed. “Then… let’s take it slowly. We are not in a hurry. Let’s plan properly, make sure that we win and take everything away from him.” He finished his coffee as he stared at the frame on top of his table. Beating Zhou Jingren right now was impossible.
They needed help. They needed some allies.
“We should start contacting the people that they have offended before. I am sure there would be a lot of people who want revenge.” Qi Xia added. Zhou Jingren and Lily offended a lot of people on their way to the pinnacle of success. Surely, a lot of them would want to have the satisfying taste of vengeance, right?
