The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-875-30041322

Harringfort could not help but tremble from his own thoughts. Was it possible that Lily wanted to kill herself along with the order? Of course, he had completely forgotten Lily's statement about her wanting to live in peace with her small family.

"Lily…" he gulped but was not able to continue his words. "If you give them what they want… do you think that it will be the end?"

Lily snorted in response. Then she looked out of the window as the plane slowly descended into Mainland China. "Let's talk once I finish dealing with them, your highness." Lily rose from her seat as she opened two buttons on her attendant's uniform and started walking out of the plane. However, since Lily's back was turned towards him, Harringfort wasn't able to see the smirk on Lily's face as she started walking towards the car waiting for her a few meters away from the plane. 

How could she miss the fear in Harringfort's eyes? Lily knew that her initial plan had succeeded. Harringfort would now report his findings to everyone. And Zhou Jingren could now walk freely using a different face.

..........

Hong Kong.

"Wait… Wait…" Bei Tian tensed. "So you wanted to use my face while I… while I…" He cleared his throat as he eyed the sleeping Kaen in the stroller. "While I take care of him?"

"My mother will take care of him." Zhou Jingren chuckled. "I have some tasks to do. Three months. Give us three months to finish everything."

"You—" Bei Tian gulped. "What if he starts calling me father?"

"He won't be able to talk just after three months." Zhou Jingren said.

"But what if he thinks I am his father?"

"He won't, you are not good looking enough."

Bei Tian glared at him. This was supposed to be a serious conversation. However, he found it comical how Zhou Jingren would trust him to take care of a small infant. He cleared his throat and looked at Kaen. "Zhou Dae Un is already on her way?"

"Hmmm. She cannot disappear for a long time. People are always following her around and the only reason she was able to lose them was because she had someone act as her, wearing prosthetics. However, that should be alright soon."

"Why here? Why with me?"

"This is the safest place right now." Zhou Jingren said. "They would never think that we would put Kaen in this place as we know that a lot of people are watching you. They would think, we hid him somewhere remote and safe."Of course, this was also the fact that Zhou Jingren was already dead in their eyes. Plus, Lily and Zhou Jingren knew that someone was a spy in Lily's forces. That was different from Zhou Jingren's side. All of the people around him were people who grew up or at least knew him while growing up. The people closest to him, especially Bei Tian. had fought with him, someone who would not hesitate to sacrifice himself for Zhou Jingren. He trusted him."Once I start pretending to be you. I will immediately go to Luxembourg. Of course, the people following you right now will follow me as they will think, I am going to meet up with Zhou Jingren and Lily."

Bei Tian clenched his jaws. For the last six months, he had been in Hong Kong not doing anything else other than managing the business like a good young master. However this does not mean that his forces had been motionless either. "Are we destroying them?"

"Probably not." Zhou Jingren was being honest. They don't know everything about this organization yet. However, everything was already planned. If they could not defeat them, Lily and Zhou Jingren were planning to disappear with their child. While that was close to impossible, Lily had already taken care of the planning. Everything was already prepared on their end. "But we will make sure to cripple them." They were planning to destroy their sources of income and some other transactions that would create problems for them.

This might not be enough to destroy them, but it will somehow shake the authority that they hold. And once this happens, Lily and Zhou Jingren knew that some people in the organization are bound to want more power than what they currently hold. Meaning… a civil war inside this organization might begin.

The plan was to first make people doubt each other, make them confused. Of course, Lily had already started this with Harringfort— the person who was now starting to doubt the organization.

"Alright then." Bei Tian nodded. He might not be that smart but he knew that Zhou Jingren deliberately made him the guardian as he knew that he would do everything to protect Kaen. As someone who grew up together, Bei Tian and Zhou Jingren had been through a lot. They completely trusted each other and would always protect each other. "About that virus or whatever that is that Harringfort gave me…"

"Don't worry about it. I will find out soon enough if Harringfort was bluffing about that." Zhou Jingren said. "Is everything prepared in Africa?"

"You are not going to Luxembourg?" Bei Tian raised an eyebrow but decided not to ask questions now. "Everything is ready. Our people are waiting for your order."

"Good." Zhou Jingren said as he eyed the small Kaen. He then let out a sigh. Three months… Lily told him that it will only take her three months to shake them. Then… she was planning to live peacefully. No more schemes, no more killing. Lily wanted to buy a place somewhere cold. She said she wanted to live near a snowy mountain or a beautiful lake. He slowly lowered himself and looked at the peaceful face of his son. "Soon Kaen…" he uttered in a low voice as his eyes turned gentle.

He recalled the day that Lily said goodbye to Kaen. He recalled how she never shed a tear and said there is no need for her to say goodbye as she was coming back. Despite that, he didn't miss the sadness that accompanied her voice.
