316 Counter Attack

"He is alive?" Zhuo Jingren asked the moment Lily walked out of the hospital room. His face was solemn as he awaited Lily's reply.

"He is," she answered. "And the accident?"

"Successful. The world will know in a bit that you got into an accident just a few minutes ago," he said as he draped his coat over Lily's shoulders. "We can't let anyone see you right now."

"Alright," she nodded before she watched as Zhuo Jingren gave instructions to his people in charge of watching over Old Man Qin.  Zhang Yifei's counter attack was unexpected. To be honest, Lily did not anticipate the poisoning. While Zhuo Jingren had already hinted to her that Qin Hao might attack his father sooner or later, Lily did not predict that they would try to poison him just two days after they left Hong Kong.

Were they that afraid that the Old Man would discover everything that they'd done?
