The Villain's Wife (WN)

Almost immediately, Victor's face ashen. As someone who trained himself in martial arts, how could he not know the effects of severing someone's Axillary artery? An adult man could lose his life in a mere three minutes if he won't stop the bleeding now. He glared at Lily as he used his other arm to get his belt to use it in doing a tourniquet and temporarily stop the bleeding.

However, how could Lily allow this to happen? Without saying anything, Lily ran towards him with the blunt knife in her hand. She then started attacking him with the knife, prompting him to move,avoiding himself getting stabbed. Not long after, Victor tried to use the belt in his hand to defend himself from her attacks. 

Lily snorted as he eyed the man's ashen complexion. Thirty seconds have already passed, yet Victor hasn't lost his consciousness, as expected of someone who practiced martial arts. However, Lily knew that he wouldn't last another thirty seconds. After all, the blood that he is losing is just too much for his body to handle. 

And just as Lily expected, Victor staggered after a few more seconds. His hands started trembling from the loss of blood; his eyes turned hazy. Victor shook his head, trying to stop himself from losing consciousness. But it was futile. He knew his life would end soon.

Furious at the current outcome, Victor tried to attack Lily with the purpose of injuring her as a retaliation. However, his consciousness is slipping away. A loud thud echoed inside the room as he felt his body hit the floor. He eyed Lily, who was calmly smiling at him as he realized how she had planned all this. 

The one that Lily used to stab him was the fake daggers displayed in this room. It was blunt and, of course, will bend and break if you use it to strike someone hard. Because of this, Lily turned the temperature so high, he would need to take off his jacket— the only thing that would stop the blunt knife from hitting his armpit.

Then she acted vulnerable, making him lower his guard. After all, Lily was indeed a weak woman. Even if she practiced a little bit of martial arts, she was not experienced enough. Moreover, her strength is that of an ant that he could easily crush. Seeing Lily lowered her head only made him think that she is trying to hide the fear that she felt inside. 

So he became arrogant, thinking she was nothing but a defenseless scared chicken! In the end, Lily thrusts the blunt knife in his armpit, surprising him while severing his Axillary artery. What a schemer! He cursed inwardly as he tried to maintain his consciousness. He knew it was futile. He had at most one minute to live.

In the end, his experience was useless against a schemer's mind.

"Why do you think I would allow that to happen?"

Lily's words earlier echoed inside his mind. Why? Of course, it was so that she could kill them herself. Those were the last thoughts that crowded his mind before his consciousness left him. Just as Victor finally closed his eyes, a loud explosion echoed outside. 

Lily eyed the now cold corpse in front of her. Who cares if the knife that she used was blunt? It wasn't about the knife… it was about the target. A disgusted sneer escaped her lips as she examined his coat that he put on the couch. Seeing the now real dagger from the man, Lily grinned as she wondered why he wasn't carrying a gun with him.

However, this was no longer her concern. She thought as she walked out of the room, grabbing Victor's phone. After another explosion, Lily started hearing gunshots and footsteps. She didn't wait for other people to see her as she runs passed Kuznetsov's office and went inside the room next to it. She then locked the door and stayed in the tub in the bathroom.

Without a gun, Lily is obviously useless in a gunfight. She decided to send a text to Zhou Jingren's number telling him her location. Then, she called Qin Yuanfeng and immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he answered.

"Are you on your computer?" She asked. The plan was for Zhou Jingren to lead this assault while Qin Yuanfeng and Bei Tian will stay in Hong Kong assisting him.

"Yes. He is underground, fighting with Kuznetsov forces that are trying to escape with him."

"He is trying to leave?"

"Yes. There is an underground tunnel that will lead him to a house near his private plane. He is trying to run."

"Did you disable all communication that he could use to call for back up?"

"Yes. He can't call for back up. I believe that was the reason why he is trying to escape. Sixty percent of his men who are fighting in the front line are already dead. He has about twenty elite personnel with him right now. Don't go out of your hiding spot unless I tell you to. It will be very dangerous right now. His people are running back to the mansion."

"How many troops do we have left?" She asked. Since she was the one who planned all this, Lily knew that another batch of people from Zhou Dae Un's company would assist them. However, she was not sure if they would make it in time.

"The backup is already here. We still have about fifty men alive. Zhou Jingren has fifteen people with him. All elites, including Secretary Go."

"Alright… " Lily said, her brows creased. "That means… He is outnumbered?"

"Relax…" Bei Tian's voice echoed. "He can defeat them."

Lily turned silent. "This is a big assault… did you take care of the satellite? We don't want to involve other people in this matter."

"Yes. Moreover, you are now inside a mansion that is in the middle of two acres of forrest. The next house is about three acres away. It's like he built this place, so not many people will know what he is doing inside. Just as you said… the person who will take you will have secret experiments below his place. You are right. There is indeed a place that I find difficult to hack two floors below the prison. I am about eighty percent in breaching the security. However, it might take another thirty minutes for me to hack into the system completely. I am not so sure if this is a laboratory or just a secret place, but I suggest…"

"I am going." Lily interrupted him. "I will go to that room. Since Kuznetsov is already on his way out, it means he is abandoning that laboratory or already sent his people to destroy it. However, since the security is still pretty tight in that area, it means they haven't succeeded yet. I will go and check it out."

Silence followed her words. 

"Are you sure?" Bei Tian asked.

"I am. Tell me… where are they now?"

"There is a tunnel in the underground prison. To go to the laboratory, you needed to go to the underground prison first. However, they are fighting in that area. It will be too dangerous for you."
