The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 638 A Coincidence?

"You— Don’t you dare say something like that in front of me!" He yelled.

"My house..." Lily shrugged. "I can say whatever I want."

Qin Chuan was about to say something when he heard Zhou Jingren snort.

"I think you are only wasting your time here." Zhou Jingren said. "Have you ever met a criminal who confessed to their crimes?" he asked. "First, let me tell you this. Killing your wife won’t give us anything but problems. Do you really think we are stupid?"

His question made Qin Chuan silent. Zhou Jingren continued, "Mr. Qin... people are manipulating you and you easily let them. They want to create a rift between you and Lily, and it seems that they are succeeding. As someone who loves my wife dearly, I should tell her to cut you off from her life completely. Of course... the choice is still hers."

"Su Ma means nothing to us. Do you really think we would waste our resources trying to kill someone as insignificant as her?" Zhou Jingren added.

"I am here to ask questions and I want answers." Qin Chuan said with a stern tone.

"No, you don’t deserve anything from us. And next time you decide to barge in here you’d better remember this. I don’t just try, I do it." Lily uttered before she rose from her seat. "Please leave. Your wife needs you."

"I— Maybe..." Qin Chuan stuttered. He didn’t know if he should apologize for overreacting. However, he also felt like he had the right to ask questions. Maybe his approach was wrong, as Lily was a pregnant woman. But... he almost lost the love of his life. Surely, no one would blame him for thinking Lily was responsible for that incident.

Now that he thought about it, Lily’s reasoning was indeed right. If she wanted Su Ma dead, there was no way that she would have survived. Moreover, Lily and Zhou Jingren are not stupid to target Su Ma in Hong Kong. It would only make them look more suspicious.

Suspicious.

Zhou Jingren’s words earlier echoed in his head. "Do you know something about Su Ma? Do you know something I don’t?" he turned towards Zhou Jingren. He then shifted his gaze at Lily. "Do you?"

A snort escaped Lily’s lips. "Didn’t you find something when you investigated her background?" She walked towards the baluster and looked at the pool sparkling against the sun.

"I didn’t. Su Ma is... clean. Everything matched from her stories. I saw images of her and her late husband. Her family pictures which include her. Is there something that I missed?"

Lily and Zhou Jingren’s silence immediately made him nervous. "Are you hiding something from me?" he asked. Qin Chuan felt his pulse rise. "Lily?" Now that he thought about it, his daughter was a very reasonable woman. She was not the type that would let her emotions win.

"That woman... might be Tang Lingyun." Lily uttered, her eyes still on the pool.

"Tang...but she disappeared, right?" Qin Chuan was familiar with Tang Lingyun and Qin Mo. "She stabbed Qin Mo and disappeared, right? How do you know this? Do you have proof she is Tang Lingyun?"

"Tell me... Su Ma had a daughter. Do you know where she is? Did you meet her before marrying Su Ma?"

Once again, Qin Chuan turned silent from Zhou Jingren’s question. According to Su Ma, her daughter blamed her for her husband’s death. They lost contact right after her husband had passed. Qin Chuan never asked questions about this matter as Su Ma kept sobbing during the conversation.

He also decided not to ask her anymore questions because he feared that she would break down again. "I... She told me her daughter hated her for her husband’s death."

"Apparently, her daughter is abroad. But... till now... we weren’t able to find her." Zhou Jingren said. "Her social media says she is travelling to various places to perform. But our people couldn’t physically find her." He stared at Qin Chuan’s confused face. "Now... tell me... do you think this is not suspicious enough?"

"Are you saying you couldn’t get a hold of her? Because Su Ma said her daughter hated technology and does not use her phone a lot."

"And... you believed her?" Lily snorted. "Really?" She turned towards Qin Chuan. "I am telling you this, not because I want you in my life. I don’t. I hope that’s already clear. If you don’t believe us, fine. It won’t hurt us. If you believe us then... it’s a way to know the truth." Lily would not waste her resources in helping this man. Not after he chose to marry a woman whom he met a few months back. Lily could not be bothered dealing with people who think with their penis.

Qin Chuan stared at Lily. His jaws thinned as he thought of her question. Of course, he believed Su Ma at that time. The woman was practically crying in his arms as she told him this sad tale. However now....

"Do you have any other proof that she is Tang Lingyun aside from her suspicious daughter?" he asked.

"If you are familiar with GC Jewels then you should also know that anyone who holds their VIP card has a record. Last year, I saw Tang Lingyun receive her orange card. Something that does not really give you any other benefits aside from a few discounts."

"She bought me something from that store." He said.

"Yes. I was there when she bought it. She also bought Yuanfeng and I jewelries from the same store." Lily nodded. "The card she used was Tang Lingyun’s. The fact that she did not recognize the type of card she owned was another thing I noticed when she bought jewelry." Lily sneered. "That card is the lowest tier of VIP cards that they have."

"But... Isn’t it reasonable that she does not know such things? Su Ma is not someone who loves shopping. She just likes to stay at home. She— "

"Wrong question." Lily interrupted him. "Don’t give us reasons why she is not Tang Lingyun. Instead... ask us why would someone want to get close to you by using my mother’s face."

Lily continued, "Did you really think it was a coincidence? You meeting her... her voice, her laughter, her mannerisms. Does she not remind you too much of my mother? Did you really think meeting someone exactly like her was fate?"
