.....

Lily’s loud laughter echoed inside the dining area. "So you are saying that this is only because you are lazy?"

"I am lazy. The awards night will be a week from now. And I am busy with the company. Plus, you are pregnant and you have to talk to Qin Yuanfeng about that Oil company. You have a lot of things to take care of. This — You don’t need this." He shrugged.

"You know what? I agree." Lily smiled. "I don’t need them. But... don’t kill her. We need her." Someone else wanted to disrupt her relationship with her father. If she ever had one. And she is really curious to know who would dare do that.

The couple continued with their conversation and had a wonderful rest that night.

....

The Peak

"Hey."

When Lily heard Zhou Jingren’s voice, she instantly smiled as she opened her eyes. His soothing tone seemed to make her more sleepy. She stifled a yawn and pulled the sheets closer to her body. "Hey. Good Morning."

He leaned forward to kiss her.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked. She did not miss the slight line between his brows.

"Qin Chuan is here, furious. He wanted to talk to you."

"What time is it?" she frowned.

"Six."

"Why would he come here?" This was a stupid question. She already knew that it should be about his beloved Su Ma. The right question should be why would he come in here furious.

"He demanded to see you." He answered. "If... I think I would not be able to stop myself if I would be the one talking to him."

Lily pursed her lips at his answer. She knew that Zhou Jingren never liked Qin Chuan simply because of his terrible choices in the past. Because of the current event’s Zhou Jingren’s strong dislike against the man doubled if not tripled. Not that she blames him.

Zhou Jingren has the right to be angry considering that he knew about everything that happened to Lily in the past.

"Then let him in." Lily met Zhou Jingren’s eyes as she shrugged and pulled him for another kiss. "You can stay beside me." She uttered. She honestly does not feel safe with Qin Chuan anymore.

"I will." He uttered before pulling her up so she could freshen up and change her clothes. "Last night... Su Ma was shot on her way to Mainland China. She is still in the hospital. She is alive. They just finished an operation, and she is currently in the ICU."

Lily halted her steps, she turned towards him. "She wanted to frame me." Her face darkened. "Have Go Jichen find all the offices on that floor yesterday. She must have been there to consult someone about the changes that she made in her face. Cross Checked it with everyone who performed the operation on her last night. Every medical personnel who visited the hospital yesterday who also had a clinic on that same floor."

"I already did." Zhou Jingren said. "I already asked Jichen to check out the doctor that she visited in that hospital. I will text Yuanfeng to cross check it.We will have our results soon, don’t worry too much about it."

Lily frowned. That Tang Lingyun must have thought that she could outsmart Lily by using the fury of her father.

Since Su Ma came here to visit Lily, it was pretty obvious that her purpose would be telling Lily about her marriage. Lily’s previous reaction when Su Ma was introduced was enough to make her the prime suspect of this... incident.

Surely, the shallow Qin Chuan would have this assumption too. What a stupid man, Lily thought inwardly as she stared at Zhou Jingren. Maybe falling in love is truly enough to make a person like Lily, Zhou Jingren, and even Qin Chuan unreasonable.

A few minutes later, Lily and Zhou Jingren marched towards the terraces where Qin Chuan was pacing with his red eyes and unkempt hair. "Did you do it?" He stopped walking and asked when he spotted Lily and Zhou Jingren.

"I’m sorry?"

"Su Ma was shot on her way to Mainland China. She is currently in the intensive care unit right now. Did you do it? Did you just try to have her killed?" he asked in a stern tone.

"Answer me! Are you the one responsible for the attempted murder of my wife!?" he asked. His chest raised, his eyes bulged in anger.

"Why would I want to kill her?" Lily asked, she sat on the vacant seat next to Zhou Jingren.

"She must have told you about the marriage! She originally felt bad about it. She wanted me — she had been urging me to tell you! She must have come here to tell you about it. Am I right?"

"Yes, you are. She told me that you are already married." Lily calmly responded. "So you came in here... to ask me if I was the one who asked my people to kill her simply because you are already married?"

"You are the only capable person to do it without any traces of evidence! I want you to be honest with me! Did you — Did you do it?"

"What makes you think that I care about your marriage?" she retorted. "Do you think I would waste my time and resources just to kill someone irrelevant?"

"You — Lily... I did my end of the bargain! You promised me that you will give us a chance. I never mentioned your pregnancy to anyone. Not even to her! How could you do this? You promised that you will give us a chance! How could you go back on your own words?" He then turned to look at Zhou Jingren. "And you — I know what kind of man you are!"

"I also know you love my daughter. How could you allow her to do this? If you were in my shoes, what would you feel? Zhou Jingren... I — this entire thing is making me speechless! As a man who loved my daughter... you should have known how it feels like when someone would try to kill the love of your life!"

"You know..." Lily interrupted Qin Chuan’s rant. She looked at the beautiful sun shining on the horizon. "If I... decided to have someone kill her... do you think I would be too stupid to do it after she just saw me?" A smile left Lily’s face as she met her father’s eyes. "If I wanted her dead... there is no way she would have survived." she said. "Nada,zilch. She would have zero possibility of even arriving in the hospital breathing."
