The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 569 The Organization

Zhou Capital

After Yu Tingye left, Lily and Zhou Jingren concluded that they needed to stop associating with anyone from the Yu Family. They could not involve themselves in something that does not have anything to do with them.

Of course, they are also open to the idea of talking to the old man. If he won’t stop his sinister plans, then Lily and Zhou Jingren will be forced to counterattack and might even ’accidentally’ ruin his company.

The old man should know that the duo could easily destroy the company that he worked so hard for. On their way home, Lily and Zhou Jingren had another conversation about the Yu Family and even Chen Shi until Lily fell asleep in Zhou Jingren’s arms.

"What’s happening?" Lily looked at the line of cars towards the peak. She frowned. She woke up because she heard some noise outside of the car. "Did something happened?" she shifted her gaze at him.

"Hmmm... a little accident. Jichen... turn around. Let’s go to Sky City." He uttered in an ominous voice.

"What happened?" she asked, confused at his reaction.

"There was a small fire in the mansion."

"What?"

"It was not big. It wasn’t even enough to damage the whole kitchen." He gave her an assuring glance. "Relax... we are going to Sky City." He then called someone to check the CCTV’s and find out what happened to the kitchen.

Lily turned silent. She narrowed her eyes as she thought about any reason why someone would want to burn their kitchen. "What if it was an accident?" she uttered.

"Maybe. However, Chef Yang and the maid were not in the mansion. No one was in the kitchen, not even the twins. They are investigating the matter now." He held her hand. "Don’t worry. We will know soon."

"If it wasn’t an accident, then... it should be a warning." She met her husband’s eyes. "Someone wants us to stay away in the mansion. Or maybe even in the community."

Zhou Jingren didn’t answer her. He pursed his lips as he watched his wife. "The Yu Family..."

"Possibly. They are the only ones that could do it right now. People like that are bound to make mistakes and miscalculations." Lily said. "Whoever did this..."

"I will take care of it."

Lily turned towards him. She understood that he only wanted to take care of her. However, Lily wouldn’t just stay silent after this incident. She could not let the Yu Family endanger her pregnancy or her child. She needed to act... and she needed to do it as soon as possible.

......

"A fire?" Old Man Yu lifted an eyebrow as he glanced at the screens that were showing him everything happening inside and outside of the mansion. Some of the CCTV’s are specifically showing what is going on outside of Lily and Zhou Jingren’s mansion.

"Hmmm." The western man sitting on the velvet chair nodded. He then crossed his legs and stared at the old man’s back. "It wasn’t big." He added, his warm voice had a tinge of amusement.

"And Lily?"

"Safe." He answered. "Old Man... your children are crazy. They must have inherited it from you." He chuckled but immediately stopped when Old Man Yu looked turned towards him. "What? I am stating a fact." He shrugged.

"As long as Lily is safe... then it’s fine." Old Man Yu walked towards the velvet chair opposite to the young man. "You are too young to even talk about what I did in the past." He said as he sat down and met the man’s ocean blue eyes.

"I would agree with your statement. My late father is ruthless... but... he is not as ruthless as you."

Old Man Yu ignored this statement. Instead, he poured himself some hot tea and drank it.

"Your children are provoking Lily... if she destroys them... what will happen to you?" the young man gave a meaningful smile as she thought of watching Lily from the restaurant when he was still in Singapore.

It would have been better if he was really there... watching her as she ridiculed the Lee Family during that dinner. Nevertheless, he already did his best to help her by telling the attendant to only listen to Lily’s words.

"I am old. What do you think will happen to me?" the old man countered. "They are stupid enough to provoke her. Let them suffer the consequences."

A burst of loud laughter echoed inside the study. "This place is secured right? No one should know... that this exists, yes?" the young man asked.

"Hmmm." The old man nodded. He poured himself another cup of tea. "If that happens then... she will have the company and... my position in the brotherhood."

The young man instantly lifted an eyebrow. "Once she turns thirty, she will have Lilian’s seat. Why would you want to give her your seat?"

"Then... would you prefer that I give it to either of my sons or to my sinister daughter?" his lips thinned. "The organization doesn’t need someone like them."

The man nodded. "Are you really planning to kill yourself after your wife’s death? You already have their permission, right?"

"Hmmm." Once again, the old man nodded.

"Your death... will cause some commotion in Asia." This is a fact. Once the old man dies many of their members might try to compete for the old man’s seat. Presidents, kings, and influential people will wage some senseless wars against each other that could possibly affect the economy and of course the world. "Are you sure this is a splendid idea?" he asked.

"My death... will happen sooner or later. There is no difference."

The young man looked at Old Man Yu’s tired face as he nodded. "As I said... Lily will have her seat soon. Let’s not forget that her grandmother’s seat is higher than yours and mine. You cannot give her your seat or introduce her to the organization before... she turns thirty."

Old Man Yu frowned at his words. "Lily is twenty-eight. We still have two years. If we introduce the concept of the things that we do for the world... she will easily adapt and prepare herself for the role that her grandmother used to have."

The young man narrowed his eyes at Old Man Yu as a dangerous aura swept inside the room. A suffocating chill enveloped the room. "No. Let her discover this on her own and you... will listen to me if you don’t want your company to crumble overnight. Do you understand me... old man?"
