Chapter 526 An Innocent Soul
Chapter 526 An Innocent Soul
Zhou Jingren said a few more comforting words towards Lily before they ended the call. After putting the phone down, Zhou Jingren stared at Qin Yuanfeng and Bei Tian sitting opposite to him. "Do we have any luck?" he asked. The kind demeanor on his face while talking to his wife was now gone.
"Someone from Beijing." Qin Yuanfeng said. "Smart but not smart enough. I have the address. This is a team in the black market that is known to spread fake news and create multiple accounts just to troll someone. If you want, I can shut down their system from here."
"If we shut it down… they will only create a new one." Zhou Jingren stood from his seat. "They will have stronger defense and it will be difficult for us to attack them next time that they do this to my wife." His face was dark as he stood in front of the floor to ceiling wall in his office. "I can't have her worry about useless attacks on the Internet."
"Then… do you have something in mind?" Bei Tian asked. A budding suspicion was swirling in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Jingren. "You are not planning to…"
"Dispose of them." Silence followed Zhou Jingren's words.
"Dispose like…"
"Like burn them." Zhou Jingren interrupted Qin Yuanfeng."I want their leader captured. Their bases burned down to the grown and everyone dead."
"Jingren��� that… you can't just do that without any warnings."
"They decided to create some rumors about Lily and release edited photos of her with other businessmen when she was still in Europe. They should have expected this kind of retaliation." Zhou Jingren said, his jaws clenched.
Bei Tian and Qin Yuanfeng eyed each other before both nodded at Zhou Jingren's words.
"I will get it done tonight." Bei Tian stood from his seat. "What are we going to do with the leader of the group? Interrogate him?"
"No… I have something better." Zhou Jingren paused as he looked at Bei Tian. "Tell him to do exactly everything that he did to Lily to the person who paid him to do it."
"Then?"
"Then…" he tilted his head towards Bei Tian. "Kill him."
Seeing this, Qin Yuanfeng lowered his head. He swallowed his saliva as he recalled Jack's previous actions. He felt that Zhou Jingren and Jack are two sides of the same coin. Both men do not have any regard for human life. Jack does it without any reasoning or explanation. He kills whoever he wanted to kill. Burn everyone that stood in his way. And killed for fun, for satisfaction, and for his ego.
While Zhou Jingren is different. He is killing to protect Lily. Zhou Jingren believed that his actions are justified because he is protecting his wife. He would do terrible things, not for fun or satisfaction but for his beloved woman. Qin Yuanfeng was sure that Zhou Jingren would not hesitate to destroy a nation, killing hundreds of people while thinking that he is doing it because of Lily.
To Qin Yuanfeng, both men are scary. Both have lusted for blood and would not hesitate to kill someone who offends them. However, he found Zhou Jingren scarier as his motivation is protecting someone. Compared to Zhou Jingren, Jack's motivation is a bit lacking.
If something happens to Lily, Qin Yuanfeng was not sure that Zhou Jingren will lose all the control that he had inside. He shivered inwardly as he thought about it.

Yu Entertainment
"Come here," Yu Jing held his hand towards his beloved as he gave her a gentle smile. "Stop worrying about it. I paid the best group of hackers to edit the photos."
"But… people will think that Cindy released it. What if…" Qiao Qiao bit her lips as he lowered her head.
"So?" Yu Jing laughed. Seeing Qiao Qiao not move an inch, he stood from his leather chair and pulled her towards the couch. "Stop worrying. There is no way that they would know the truth. I already told you. I hired the best of the best. Tracking them would be hard. "
"Jing… those photos are too much. Lily already fainted because of the news about her bullying Cindy. What if something terrible happens to her this time?" her innocent eyes immediately made Yu Jing pity her even more.
"Such an innocent soul." Yu Jing said. "Don't worry… I will protect you." He held her closer to him before kissing her forehead. How could he disregard such a weak female like this? Yu Jing grunted inwardly.
So what if those photos that he just released a day ago were extremely malicious? So what if it will make people think that Lily managed to grow her company because she was sleeping with her colleagues? Lily bullied his Qiao Qiao and made her more insecure. How could Yu Jing let this woman live a happy and peaceful life?
He lowered his gaze and look at the weak woman in his arms. His Qiao Qiao only deserves the best and Yu Jing is going to give her the world.
"Jing… you are spoiling me too much," under the gaze of a man like Yu Jing, Qiao Qiao's face turned red. "I don't think… I could ever pay you for everything that you did for me."
"Payment?" A flashed of unfathomable expression gleam in his eyes. "Why don't you marry me and spend your life with me? This will be the only payment that I will accept." He gave her a gentle smile.
"Are you — Are you proposing?" her face reddened even more as she tried to mask her real thoughts. How could she marry someone at this time? She is still young, and she is bound to achieve great things as long as she does not marry anyone.
"Of course, I am. I know… I don't have the ring now… but I will go and see my grandmother so I could give you our family heirloom." He smiled. "How about this… think about this matter and you tell me your decision on my grandfather's birthday next week?"
"What do say?" Yu Jing smiled, anticipation apparent in his eyes.
