Lily watched as Xuan Hui carried Qin Fei away with an unfathomable expression on his face. To be honest, Lily did not foresee that Qin Fei would try to stop her after she ended their confrontation. She also definitely didn't foresee that Qin Fei would lose her balance and fall into the pool in an attempt to stop her. After all, Qin Fei was pregnant and Lily expected her to exercise some caution.

However, since the opportunity already presented itself, Lily wasn't going to be polite to Qin Fei. She would send her to her grave which she had painstakingly dug herself.

Lily then turned her gaze towards Tang Lingyun who was standing still, seemingly in shock. It wasn't long before Tang Lingyun's face morphed into a scowl and she her hands balled into fists. Then she glared at Lily before storming out of the venue to follow after Qin Fei and Xuan Hui.

After the trio left, Lily roamed her eyes around and her gaze swept past all the people who had witnessed what happened earlier. Some of them were staring at her, as if judging her. But Lily did not care about their opinions of her, even if she was labelled 'ruthless' or 'vicious' by them. Because she really was.

Despite what happened tonight, Lily was still expecting some businessmen to call to schedule a meeting with her. After all, she might be vicious but they all knew that she was very capable. Then Lily turned her gaze towards the pool, its surface was now calm.

Lily lost herself in her thoughts as she gazed down at the pool. Actually before coming to this Bulgari cocktail party, she somehow knew that a confrontation was inevitable. So she prepared herself to take advantage of every opportunity that would present itself. And once again her mind won.

Then Lily began to recall the events that happened tonight which set in motion her revenge against Tang Lingyun and her Tang family.

'Shut the door to catch the thief' This was the strategy that Lily was employing tonight against the Tang family.

Tang Lingyun had been so prideful only because she knew she had the Tang family behind her. The Tang family was formidable because of its connections with some well-known criminal groups in Asia. So, before she could get to Tang Lingyun, she would need to cut off the support of the Tang family behind Tang Lingyun. This might sound easy but it had taken Lily years to plan her course of actions against them.

The Tang family had been thriving from the illegal money lending business for years now. They would target vulnerable people looking for a quick loan and then trap them by doubling if not tripling the interest. This provided a steady source of income for the Tang family.

Naturally, in this line of business, they would meet people who couldn't afford to pay them back. So when this happens, the Tang family would roped their debtors into doing illegal things for them as a form of repayment.

The Tang family's illegal empire ran deep, so deep that certain prominent personalities in the police force were also involved. Their pockets were filled by the Tang family and in turn, they would help to cover up for their crimes. Because of the police force's involvement, bringing down the Tang family became a little more tricky.

However, two years ago, she found an opening to break into those the Tang family's perfect empire. She found someone that the Tang family owed. It was a debt so big that Lily was sure they would not be able to repay it once news of what they did were exposed to the world. No matter how rich they were now, all that wouldn't matter in the end.

Lily was not the type who would scheme against an innocent. She also didn't like to make use of an innocent person in her schemes. But to deal with the Tang family, Lily had to revive something or rather someone from the past. She had given that person a purpose, one that also aligned with her own goals. Or as most people know it as 'borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul'. This was what happened literally when Lily chose to deal with Tang Wei Dong.

Tang Wei Dong had always been arrogant and it stemmed from his connections with criminal groups and the people he controlled in the police force. He saw himself as untouchable and even self-proclaimed himself as the prince of Hong Kong. His ego was as big as a mountain.

Tang Wei Dong was also someone who would never accept 'no' from someone, especially from the women whom he had advances towards. With his connections, he believed he could get away with rape which he had on many occasions. But it seemed that his luck had run out because Lily had come to play.

You see, two years ago, Lily found a woman from Tang Wei Dong's past. She was one of his victims who was brutally raped and then killed after that by Tang Wei Dong himself. But, somehow, she survived.

Lily liked to play mind games and this was exactly what she did tonight. Now two years later, on this night, Lily had decided that it was time that Tang Wei Dong met with the ghost of his past

No one in the Tang family would have thought that what Tang Wei Dong did that night would be the start of the Tang family's downfall.

"President, Tang Wei Dong was detained at the previous party just minutes ago," Yang Mi's respectful voice brought Lily out of her stupor. "The drug that was placed in his coat was enough to detain him. And you were right, he tried to bribe the police but since there were the paparazzi and media around, the police had no choice but to arrest him. It was a good thing we tipped the paparazzi to follow Tang Wei Dong around."

"Hmmm" Lily nodded. A few days ago, she contacted the woman from Tang Wei Dong's past and sought her cooperation to bring Tang Wei Dong down. The plan was that she would meet Tang Wei Dong and plant some cocaine and ecstasy in his coat pockets. Of course, Lily would make sure to find someone to tip the police so that they could catch Tang Wei Dong red-handed.

Lily also knew with Tang Wei Dong's connections and wealth, he could easily bribe the police and pay the bail to get out of custody. So, she made sure that the paparazzi follow him around and spread the news of his arrest online. This would tie the hands of the police.

As tonight was a Friday, and the next available court date would be on Monday, this means that Tang Wei Dong would be kept in custody over the weekend. Just as Lily wanted. She then laughed inwardly at her meticulous planning.

Lily was certain that Tang Lingyun would not suspect her involvement in this intricate scheme against the whole Tang Family. This was just the start in her efforts to cripple them before burning them to the ground.

"What about the International Women's Group? Is everything set on their side?" she asked in a low voice.

"Affirmative President. All rape cases will be filed on Monday. With the media's attention on this, it will be a very high profile case. No government official would dare to accept any bribes to save him," Yang Mi also answered in a very low voice that only Lily could hear. Her gaze towards Lily showed nothing but respect and reverence.
