The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 702 Qin Yuanfeng’s Talen

When Lily woke up, it was already nine in the morning. However, since today was a Sunday, she decided to stay in bed for a while longer before going towards the study to join Zhou Jingren and Qin Yuanfeng as they busily typed on their computer.

"What is going on?" she immediately frowned when she saw their serious expression. "Are we trying to hack into something?" she beamed as she eyed both men.

"Hmmm." Zhou Jingren answered. "Qin Yuanfeng is. I am only trying to check his progress."

"And?" A smug smile appeared on Lily’s lips.

"Another thirty minutes or so and were good."

"Good. Then we can— "

"No." Zhou Jingren interrupted her before he smiled and kissed her lips. "Why don’t we go downstairs and eat something?" he asked, leading her out of the room without waiting for her response.

Lily only chuckled in response as they walked hand in hand towards the kitchen. She was starving anyway and she can always convince this man to gain some profits from Qin Yuanfeng’s talent, later.

Meanwhile, Qi Xia’s sweat trickled down his forehead, his hands balled into fists as he eyed his people working their asses off to protect their system.

"We are too late." One of the programmers said. "They are already in— "

"No. Do something about it!" Qi Xia snarled. "We can still do something!"

"But— "

"No buts! Just do it." He said. A broken system would cost him millions as this would affect the company’s mobile games and the servers that they are using for his gaming team. A curse left Qi Xia’s mouth as he started pacing inside the room where all of his programmers worked.

The loud tapping of keyboards continuously echoed inside the room, making him more and more irritated. "Is it done?" he asked.

"No. We are too late. We didn’t detect the breach on time. When we — "

"Can someone replace this man?" Qi Xia said. "There should be something we could do! Something that could... maybe slow them down?"

"Yes, we can try and slow them down."

Qi Xia immediately felt relief washed over him. Hackers would always try to get into his system all the time, however, this was the first time that an attack like this happened. He immediately wondered if this was the work of his competitor, after all, the gaming summit was about to start next month.

Another curse left him at this thought.

"Mr. Qi... the hacker... I think the hacker’s goal is to destroy the system. Not alter it. You see— " the programmer started explaining his recent discovery.

"Slow them down! Slow them down! I will go and make some calls." He said before leaving the room. Convinced it was their competitor, Qi Xia immediately started calling people that could possibly help him.

However, it was too late. When he came back, his people immediately informed him that the hacker planted a virus that created some sort of a loop in the system. This was enough to ruin his day. With his ruined mood, Qi Xia tried to do this best to contain the situation. But it was futile.

"Fuck." He uttered when he reached his office. From Chen Shi’s imprisonment to Su Ma’s disappearance and now this! This— this was only making him more stressed! He immediately dialed Zhou Huifangs number.

"Huifang. I won’t be able to see you in the next few days. I will be very busy with my company." He uttered.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes, the summit is coming. I will be busy."

"I understand." Zhou Huifang sighed. "I guess... I will be forced to call that guy again, hoping that I will be able to contact him this time."

"Hmmm... for now, I will focus on my company. We encountered a small problem lately so I wont be able to help you with planning."

"I understand." Another sighed escaped Zhou Huifang’s lips. "Also... my father talked to me last night. I believe Zhou Jingren already knows I was trying to contact their past enemies. My father warned me."

The line in between Qi Xia’s forehead deepened. "Is he trying to threaten you?"

"Yes. It was a blatant threat." Zhou Huifang said. "That company belongs to my family, my father should be the CEO and I should have been the one that will follow in his footsteps. But he was a fool. A coward."

Qi Xia turned silent at Zhou Huifang’s words. "Zhou Jingren’s father is not someone we should be afraid of. Maybe we should just kill him so your father can take over the company."

"Fool." Zhou Huifang echoed. "He is not scary. But his wife is... Zhou Dae Un is."

"Did you find out something about that woman?"

"I did and it is not good." Zhou Huifang said. "Let’s talk about this when you come here."

"Alright." Qi Xia nodded. At this point, he was already at the end of his wits. Sadly, he did not have the time to think about this matter as his company was also in trouble. He let out a sharp breath, irritated at the fact that he was less influential than Zhou Jingren.

The Peak

"Divide and conquer, eh?" Lily smiled at Qin Yuanfeng. "Good thinking."

"Hmmm... took me a long time to get inside but... it’s good now. Qi Xia should be panicking. I already installed something in his phone so we can record everything that he said." He shoved a spoonful of porridge in this mouth. "I’m hungry."

Lily chuckled in response before she looked at her husband. "So... Levi and Eliza will be arriving at one in the afternoon. Everything is ready, right?" Lily asked Qin Yuafeng to stay for the weekend as she wanted to introduce him to Eliza and Levi. After all, Yuanfeng was also Bec’s child and Lilian’s grandchild.

Moreover, this would also broaden Qin Yuanfeng’s influence. This will be a great help once he starts managing Facci Group.

"Also... I heard Bei Tian will arrive tomorrow?" Lily beamed. "Tell him to buy some chocolates for me. I want the most expensive ones."
