UNEDITED.

Eliza and Levi’s quick vacation had been fun. However, the two still had to leave because of their responsibilities. The two excitedly told Lily that they would visit her once she gave birth in Switzerland.

After the twins left, Lily started working with Qin Yuanfeng for the Facci Group. With the continuous growth of her stomach, Lily had been very careful. Because of this, the surrounding security around Lily doubled as Zhou Jingren insisted that this is a necessity. Of course, Lily is not that dumb to refuse such arrangements.

Surprisingly, people like Zhou Huifang still found ways to contact her. In fact, the man had the guts to show up in Lily’s office.

"I could not remember the last time that we saw each other." Zhou Huifang said. "I can see that you are doing really well."

Lily smiled in response.

"Is he really necessary?" Zhou Huifang glanced at Qin Yuanfeng who had his laptop on Lily’s table, his eyes, however, was glued at the man sitting opposite his sister. "I mean... I am here for a private conversation." He added.

"He is necessary," Lily said. She might be a schemer, but she could not deny the fact that her plans are not foolproof. Her weakness lies in surprises, like what Zhou Huifang is doing right now. This coupled with the fact that she could not really defend herself in martial arts and is pregnant is somewhat scary for her.

She was scared, alright? Maybe it was because of her growing child or the sad reality of the world, Lily had been scared lately. Of course, she could call this normal. This should be a part of her maternal instinct.

Turning towards Qin Yuafeng, Zhou Huifang cleared his throat. He could not fathom the woman in front of him. He could not understand why she seemed to fear meeting him alone. He shrugged before letting out a deep sigh.

Of course, this was mainly because he could not see Lily’s growing stomach as she was calmly sitting on her leather chair and did not bother standing up to shake his hand earlier.

"Alright then..." he nodded and turned his attention towards Lily. "This year, my uncle Zhou Kang died. Of course, I know you are perfectly aware of that." Seeing Lily nod, he continued. "He was kidnapped, he just disappeared. We never found his body and in the end, he was declared dead."

"I am aware."

"I know that you are aware of who did it." He added before letting out a sad smile. "It was Zhou Jingren and his father. You don’t have to lie to me. I know. Despite my father not telling me the truth, I know about it. I also know that this was because of what he did to their family." Everyone who knows Zhou Kang knows about this. However, not one of them had the guts to say something.

"And?"

"And... I am letting you know that on that day, Zhou Jingren didn’t just killed my uncle."

Lily lifted an eyebrow.

"He killed my brother — my younger brother. He disappeared along with my uncle."

Lily lifted an eyebrow. "You think... Zhou Jingren killed Zhou Xiaodan?" Of course, Lily remembered the Zhou Siblings clearly. Zhuo Xiaodan was someone who had been under the spectrum. He might look like a tall mature man, but he still acts like a ten-year-old boy. "Why would you think he would kill an innocent person?" As the youngest of the siblings, he was extremely close to Zhou Huifang and their father.

Zhou Jingren never told her anything about Zhou Xiaodan. All she knew is that Zhou Huifang’s sister went abroad to study while Zhou Huifang was assigned far away from the capital.

Lily also never inquired about the man as he was not really relevant.

"My father refused to talk about it. And he was at my uncle’s house when... he disappeared."

Lily frowned. First and foremost, Zhou Kang was not kidnapped. He had a meeting with Zhou Jingren in an abandoned building. There is no way Zhou Jingren would have access to Zhou Xiaodan.

Lily’s memories took her to the time when she had a conversation with Bei Tian just after she was rescued from Jack. Bei Tian specifically told her that Zhou Jingren had the tendency to lose himself when it comes to Lily. As someone who does not really think of Zhou Jingren’s past, she took the statement with a grain of salt.

"He killed my brother." Zhou Huifang insisted. His tone became stern, his face grim. "There is no other explanation why he disappeared or why my father refused to talk about him!"

"And by telling me this you— "

"I wanted you to know that he is not the person that you thought he is." His voice shook. "I took the liberty to do some research." He handed her a flash drive. "Of his deeds in the past."

Understanding immediately flashed in Lily’s eyes. "So you wanted me... to fight with you in your quest for justice?" Lily was almost a hundred percent sure that this was what Zhou Huifang wanted. However... how dumb could he be to think that Lily would betray Zhou Jingren?

"You are a businesswoman." Zhou Huifang said. "It is normal for you to value business and money about everything else." His face relaxed as he leaned against his chair. "As someone who is considered one of the most influential women in the world, I would assume that you value your reputation a lot. Would you really tie yourself with a murderer like him?"

Lily only stared at Zhou Huifang, her face devoid of any expression.

"I am warning you." Zhou Huifang added. "I am only here because I wanted to warn you. His enemies... are many. Too many to count. And when they come for him... you know what will happen to you, right?"

A snort escaped Lily’s lips. However, before she could open her mouth to answer, Zhou Huifang already beat him to it. "And no. I am not afraid if I die. If I become his next target. Once that happens, my people will release the evidence that we have against him. It might not be enough to convict him, but it will be enough to ruin both of you."
