The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 701 Reflection

The next time that Tang Lingyun woke up, the first thing she saw was a hideous person. She screamed in horror, yelling for Qin Chuan’s name, begging for him to let her go.

It took Tang Lingyun a long time to realize she was actually looking at her reflection. She immediately closed her eyes. How could Qin Chuan put a mirror on the ceiling? Tears flowed down her cheeks when she realized the hideous human wrapped in bandages and chained to the bed was her. The hideous human who can’t even lift her limbs— was her.

She tried to yell, scream until her voice became hoarse. Yet, all she heard was the echo of her own voice, her own sobs.

She was hungry, thirsty. She was a mess. Qin Chuan was a monster— that was something that she had realized since the latter kept her inside this cell. The man was even worse than Lily! He never hesitated to hurt her, leaving her hungry and thirsty for three days then using some gas to make her lose her consciousness so he could feed her— or do whatever it is that will quench her hunger every time she woke up.

And now this.

Qin Chuan wanted her to watch her own hideous appearance as she lay on the bed unable to move her body. If this is not cruelty, then what is?

Tang Lingyun already thought of killing herself multiple times. Biting her tongue until she bled out and died. However, she could not do it. Tang Lingyun was aware she loved herself too much to even consider suicide. No— inwardly, Tang Lingyun still hoped maybe one of these days Qin Chuan would pity her.

He was still human, right? Surely, he would pity the woman whom he slept with for the past few months! Surely, he would soon find it in his heart to forgive her for what she did. After all, they were all humans. They make mistakes.

They should be forgiven.

While Lily had already told him Su Ma would disappear soon, Qin Yuanfeng was still caught by surprise when he heard about her disappearance on the news. After all this, he still felt Lily��s capability to think like her enemies was mind boggling.

How could a person just calculate someone’s decision? After his thorough research, Qin Yuanfeng concluded this was because Lily experienced something devastating in the past. Because of this, Lily learnt to put herself in the shoes of her enemies to predict their possible reaction in her schemes.

It is a genius way to prepare ten steps ahead of the enemy, however, Qin Yuanfeng realized that Lily needed to delve into very toxic and negative thoughts of those people to be able to think like her enemies. She needed to act like them, think like them. She needed to become evil.

Qin Yuanfeng sighed as he stared at Zhuo Jingren. "These are the files that I have of Qi Xia and Zhou Huifang." He hesitated for a few minutes. "Maybe you can deal with them as soon as possible."

Zhou Jingren stared at Qin Yuanfeng for a few seconds before he nodded. "Come." He stood from his seat and walked inside with Qin Yuanfeng in tow. "Lily wants you to learn." He uttered as he walked towards his study. "Do you have your laptop with you?" Silly question. Of course, Qin Yuanfeng would not leave his house without a computer.

"Hmm. What about it?"

"It’s still five in the morning. Lily is still asleep. You still have the time to hack into Qi Xia’s company." Zhou Jingren opened his computer inside his study.

"What do you mean?"

"I could easily kill them." Zhou Jingren paused as he met Qin Yuanfeng’s eyes. "I would do it without even blinking." He added as he started typing towards his computer. "But... I want to keep my wife happy."

"What— why are you talking about that now?" Qin Yuanfeng asked. In his mind, making Lily happy involved sexual pleasure! Why would Zhou Jingren even talk about this in front of him? He cringed inwardly.

This was just too much. Is this man trying to tell him that he is single? He eyed Zhou Jingren with suspicion on his face.

"You think too much." Zhou Jingren chuckled. "Stop it. Or you will never find someone in the future." He then gestured for Qin Yuanfeng to sit on his leather chair. "Grab your laptop. My computer should have enough for you to hack into their firewall."

"So... you want me to steal from them?" Qin Yuanfeng asked. Was it possible Lily and Zhou Jingren loved to swindle money from people?

"No, dummy. I want you to create a virus and ruin their system." Zhou Jingren answered. "No money involved." He answered before chuckling. It seems that Qin Yuanfeng was starting to adapt to Lily’s methods.

"And?"

"Ruin his company, make him panic then monitor his phone and everything that he could use to communicate. If cornered, he won’t have a choice but try to ask people for help. Then trace every call that he makes. As well as every call that Zhou Huifang makes. This way, we will know who is backing them before we dispose of them." He sat opposite to Qin Yuanfeng.

"So are we asking them for money?"

"No." Zhou Jingren said. "Contacting them is too risky." Clearly, his methods are not like Lily’s. He would not want to risk being discovered just because he wanted some money. "Just let them run around like headless chickens. Then... watch as the give us all the ammunition we need."

"Oh." Qin Yuanfeng nodded before he started typing furiously on his computer. "This might take some time. Qi Xia’s company has a good firewall that can even withstand the best of the best hackers in the world."

"No problem. We can wait." Zhou Jingren smiled. "Remember normal people panic at the first sight of trouble. But we also need to consider that they might not react the way we want them to."

"And if they don’t react like we expected?"

"Simple." Zhou Jingren answered. "We save our time and effort. We kill them."
