The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-671

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 meetingwith Jun Liang.

"Are you sure this is it?" Qin Yuanfengeyed his twin sister. For some reason, he could feel his palm start to sweat. Was he excited? He asked himself inwardly.

"Hmmm. She already met with Ron, her primary accomplice." She answered while eating dried fruits. The meeting 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 become 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 blame Chen Shi for being merciless.

The thought of Lily and Zhou Jingren made her resolve more solid. She needed to end this now. "What time is it?" she asked, frowning at her watch. "He should be here any moment now."

"Yani… you know that we can't really come 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 moment 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 formfurther 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 come 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 me… Yani Chen." She uttered, her voice trembling. When Thomas asked her what was wrong, Chen Shi immediately started telling him her plan to see Jun Liang today.

"You— You probably don't know this… but… but he used to hurt me when we were married. So… so when he asked to see me today, I immediately felt the need to call someone to inform them that if something happens to me… 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 someone about this…. We don't really know if… if he will hurt me again tonight."

"Yani…" Thomas feigned his surprise. "Then…we should call the police. I mean… 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 mean that we lost the love that we had for each other."

"So what are you trying to do now?" Thomas asked. "Do you want me to come and watch as you meet him?" he offered.

"I— Will you?" Chen Shi said before letting out another sob. "I am so sorry about this… I didn't mean 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 come and stay in the other room. Once I hear any disturbance, I will immediately go to your room. You can leave your door open or just leave your key card outside."

A smile instantly blossomed on Chen Shi's face when she heard Thomas' words. As expected, not many men 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 me 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 beamed 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.
