The Villain's Wife-Chapter 833 Calm
Chapter 833 Calm
When Lily heard about the location, she immediately wondered if Claude would try to find his grandmother there. After all, it looked like he truly cared about her. So when Lily realized that the park was not the most logical place to meet, she immediately told Zhou Jingren to create a diversion.
Make it seem like they left the country while they went to the marketplace which was just a few walks away from Madam Luo's house. In Lily's mind, Claude would not likely look for the older woman in the marketplace because he would think it would be too easy.
Why would Madam Luo meet Lily near their house? According to logic, she should meet her somewhere far away, somewhere public— a place where people who wanted to kill her would hesitate to attack, somewhere that would make it perfectly normal for them to talk— a young woman and an older woman. Like the park.
However, Lily knew that Madam Luo was not dumb. Why would she want to meet Lily in a place where people could see her? Everyone here knew that she was sick. She was forgetful and old. What if people would try to call her grandson the moment that they saw her talk to a woman that they hadn't even seen before?
"And? Where is she now?"
"Some people are following her. I already sent my people towards her location. They will escort her to us." Zhou Jingren calmly said. "That attendant who sent the letter was seen going to Harringfort's hotel earlier."
"Then… Harringfort must have figured it out that I knew about the park." Lily said. So she was right after all. The people who were working next to Claude and Madam Luo were people from the spectre. This only solidified her previous assumptions about Lilian.
However, it seems that new questions kept popping up. If Madam Luo knew something about this organization and what they did. Why didn't they just kill her? Surely, an old woman cannot just fool an organization that controlled the world from the shadows, right? As usual, Lily's mind started running rampant.
Based on the facts that she had gathered about this organization, it was pretty obvious that they would not hesitate to silence people. Sparing Madam Luo was simply illogical, unless…. they wanted something from her. That would only mean that the older woman was hiding something precious.
Lily stood from her seat. "She will die." She looked at Zhou Jingren as her heartbeat started to race. "She will die. They will kill her." Her eyes widened. "Send your people to protect her grandson too."
Zhou Jingren immediately nodded and made the call. How could he ignore Lily's words? Without any explanation, Zhou Jingren believed everything she said as he started calling his people.
"Jichen." Lily turned towards Secretary Go."How proficient are you in martial arts?"
"I am confident in my skills." Go Jichen answered without batting an eyelid. "Very confident." His tone was calm as he met Lily's eyes.
"Then… please get Madam Luo. The organization won't send normal people to get her. They should be sending assassins." Lily said. She bit her lips and waited for Zhou Jingren to finish her call. This was a life and death situation and to be honest, she was expecting herself to panic. However, aside from her increased heartbeat, she felt nothing.
She was only hoping that they would have enough time to save Claude and his grandmother. She watched as Secretary Go nodded and left without asking anymore questions. After all, Zhou Jingren already informed him to listen to Lily's words all the time.
"Anything else?" Zhou Jingren said as he turned to Lily.
"Prepare the car. Just prepare it." Lily said. "Tell your people not to let Harringfort out of her their sight. He might be planning to leave Luxembourg. Call the Duke, tell him to alert his most trusted people and assign them to a hospital or any secured place where we can let Madam Luo stay." The words just flowed through Lily's lips. She paused. "They should know that I am after Madam Luo." Lily held her chin as she sat on her seat. "Then… they would send skilled people." She met Zhou Jingren's gaze. "A fight might happen. Do you have a gun?"
Zhou Jingren nodded. "They won't hurt us."
"We are not that far from Madam Luo. We should prepare the car." For some reason, Lily felt calm. As if, the situation didn't scare her despite her current situation. She immediately wondered where this confidence of her's came from.
Zhou Jingren immediately made some calls. First to the Duke, second to his people to come to the market and third to his people located outside of Luxembourg. Then he also called George asking him if he had anyone in the Area.
"You seem —" Zhou Jingren wasn't able to finish his sentence when his phone buzzed. Since he just finished making a lot of calls, he immediately answered it, thinking that it was from one of his people. And he was right.
"There was a problem in the park. The fuse exploded. It killed the guards that were standing near it. The two guards were electrocuted." Zhou Jingren said after he ended the call. "The whole East Area of Luxembourg lost all its power including Harringfort's hotel." He said. "It seems that you are right. He might be planning on leaving the country tonight."
Lily turned silent. Seeing this Zhou Jingren continued. "My people are already with Claude. He was preparing to leave the country with his grandmother and was not even aware that she left their house."
"And the attendants?" Lily raised an eyebrow.
"The remaining three attendants inside the house aside from Claude were armed." He answered her. "All of them are dead."
"They haven't killed Claude yet?"
"Not yet."
"Then… asked your people to leave. They were waiting for reinforcements." Lily said. Her gaze turned sharp as she turned silent for a few seconds. Then she let out a sigh. Why was she even acting like she was in the military? She was a pregnant woman for crying out loud! "Let's leave this place and go back to the palace." She said.
