Chapter 357 A Monster’s Footstep

"You- Where… who gave you those photos?" Qin Liwei asked, his eyes bulging out of their sockets. Those photos would be enough to make her sister crazy! It would be enough to shame everyone in his family, including him!

"No idea." Lily shrugged. "Maybe you have offended someone influential enough to follow around in your family? Who knows?" Qin Liwei was too stupid not to realized that the one who took those photos was Lily and well… she does not have a plan to tell him about it.

"I don't believe you!" Qin Liwei rose from his seat and pointed a finger at Lily. "We are not done! This is not done!" Then he strode out of Lily's office with his jaws clenched.

"Yang Mi?" Lily used the office telephone to call her secretary. After a few seconds, Yang Mi came inside. "Someone is backing Qin Liwei. Asked our people to find out. Call George if you have to. Also… someone told him about my schedule. Did you find out who let him in?"

"President, for some reason someone added his name to your appointment today. I checked and found out that it was added around the time that you started your meeting a couple of hours ago. So when the receptionist saw his name, they instantly let them in."

"I see." She nodded. "It seems that someone was able to plant a spy in our company." Lily stated as she leaned against her swivel chair, her elbows resting on it's arm as she intertwined her fingers in front of her. "Help me find out who it is." She uttered in a low voice.

"Yes President. Also… I have tried calling Mr. George Arison already to check about the matter that you asked me to check when you arrived from Japan last night."

"And?"

"I was not able to talk to him. Instead, Mr Jack Arison was the one who answered me. He said… his father was sick and he asked if you will be available in the next few days as he will come to Hong Kong to check some things."

"Jack?" Lily repeated as she rummaged her memories, trying her best to remember her last encounter with the man. She wondered how George had affected the man's coward like personality before. Then she remembered how George mentioned Qin Yuanfeng's peculiar fast recovery. Lily shake her head at that memory of her brother. "What did you tell him?"

"I did not reveal any information about your schedule." Yang Mi said sternly. No matter what Jack did, she refused to tell him about Lily's schedule. This was because she was trained to prioritize Lily's security at all costs. She would never do something that would compromise her.

"Alright." Lily nodded. "Monitor Qin Liwei and Qin Fei." She said before she gestured for Yang Mi to leave so she could start her next conference with her people for her port company.

Lily knew that someone was trying to make her distance Zhuo Jingren. Surely, they have assumed that Lily does not know what kind of person her husband is. Now… all she wanted to know is who would want to distance him from her own husband. Who wanted to separate them… and why?

…..

"YOU DID WHAT?" Qin Mo roared, his voice echoed inside his study as he widened his eyes at his stupid son. "You… You are courting death!"

"Father… you have to understand that I did it because the man's offer is extremely tempting and I thought I found a way to intimidate her! Make her bow down to me." Qin Liwei gritted his teeth. Accepting this fact is extremely embarrassing to him. But he does not have a choice. He needed to tell his father that Lily had a dirt on all of them.

"Didn't you listen to everything that I told you days ago? I said… lay low! Two simple words… Two words and you can't even comprehend that! How did you expect to beat her if you can't even understand two simple words?" Qin Mo asked as he eyed his table, looking for something- anything that he could throw towards his son. If he was able, he would have woken Qin Liwei up with a punch or two. Seeing a ball pen in his table, he abruptly reached out and threw it towards his son, hitting Qin Liwei's cheek in the process. "You moron!"

"Father!"

"You- Your stupidity will be the death of me!" Qin Mo yelled.

"Father, let's not do this now alright? Can we just focus on the fact that those images will ruin everyone in this family? And that Xuan Hui… that man… How dare he cheat on Feifei?" As expected, Qin Mo calmed down a little when he heard his son's words. True! Their enemy is not each other, but a woman named Lily.

"Do you want to know why I asked you to lay low?" He asked, gaining a look from his son. He then sighed before he continued, "That's because… Zhuo Jingren was the man who impregnated Lily seven years ago. Your mother told me about this as well as her suspicion that the one who destroyed and took over the Tang empire was Zhuo Jingren."

"So you are saying that Zhuo Jingren might deal with us soon because of what happened seven years ago?" Qin Liwei's face darkened. Of course, he was still unaware about the fact that his father was the person who made Lily lose her child.

"Yes. That was exactly why I want you to make your presence as low as possible. I don't want to attract a beast like him." Qin Mo said. This statement is partly true. If Zhuo Jingren was really the father, then it would be very possible for him to ruin them because of their treatment towards Lily in the past. And without the backing of Zhang Yifei, the Qin Family in Hong Kong would be destroyed like an ant, squeezed to death by a monster's footstep.

"Then? Then…" Qin Liwei did not continue his words as he widened his eyes. "I have to talk to him!" he stood up and turned his back to his father.

"Talk to who?" Qin Mo asked, his brows furrowed.

"I… I can't say for now. But… he is a powerful man. I can assure you that he can be trusted." He looked ever his shoulder and gave his father a determined smile. "Don't worry, father. I will fix this." He said before leaving the room.
