The Villain's Wife-Chapter 893 Orders

Chapter 893 Orders

Seconds passed. Slowly the seconds turned into minutes and soon more than an hour had passed since Lily, Victor and Daohu had started walking down the dark corridor. Zhou Jingren was no longer on the other side of the line as she had lost reception and was unable to receive any calls from him. However, Lily didn't stop walking. The path soon became moldy and wet. And a while later the sound of water beneath their shoes echoed inside the walls of the tunnel.

This of course made Lily wonder. This tunnel was really long and dark, she could not hear any sounds or vibrations from the outside of the tunnel. "The house that you were talking about. How far is it from the mansion?" Victor clearly said that the farthest one was the cabin. Lily originally thought that it wouldn't take them more than an hour to travel between the house and the mansion. Glancing at her wristwatch, Lily knew she was wrong.

"This path will lead us to a house near the Brockwell Park in Lambeth." As expected when Lily heard the older man's voice, a gasp escaped her already pale lips. Lambeth was about a thirty minute drive from the Facci Mansion, however if one had to walk that distance, it would definitely take more than an hour to get there.

"Grandmother… had a house there?"

"Yes, Young Miss."

Lily frowned as she held the box closer to her chests. "Victor…. I am quite tired." She inhaled a huge mouthful of air. "I believe this is because we are underground." Lily was truly exhausted. However, this was not because she was walking. But it was because of the adrenaline rush that she had experienced earlier. "Can we take some time to rest?"

"Young Miss… this…" Victor's face turned complicated. "I think we need to continue walking. We don't really know if there are people following us. We should leave this place as soon as possible."

Lily lowered her head in response before she nodded. "Alright. Let's go." She said. The trio continued walking. After a few more minutes, Lily started to feel that the air inside the tunnel had changed. This made her face brighter. This could only mean one thing! They were about to arrive. Silently, Lily let out a sigh of relief. She could only hope that Zhou Jingren's calls would be able to get through now that they were about to leave this place. After all, Lily needed an eye that could tell her what was happening outside.

Not long after, the trio arrived in another hole. They didn't talk as they started crawling. After another five minutes, they arrived in the large narrow staircase that would lead them out of this underground tunnel. It didn't take them more than two minutes to arrive outside.

This time, they came out of a bookshelf that looked modern with its sleek design. This immediately made Lily wonder as this was different than her expectations. Sensing her questions, Victor answered. "Lilian renovated this house specifically for this." Lily nodded in response. She then examined the small library they were in before she decided to go outside of the room to examine the interior of the house, leaving Daohu and Victor alone in the study.

However, what Lily saw outside made her face turn grim. She stilled for a few seconds before she smiled. "Mr. Kuznetsov!"

The man stared at Lily's dirty appearance before he snorted. "Why am I not surprised that you already know my identity?" Lily gulped but pretended to be calm in front of the six foot five giant in front of her.

"Why are you here?"

"Why did you run away?"

Lily squinted her beautiful eyes as she clutched the box tighter towards her body. "Why should I tell you?"

"Hmph! Then I would assume you already know why I am here?"

"Would I ask you if I know?" Lily countered as she acted brave in front of him. On the inside, she was not scared or nervous. However, she was vigilant against this murderer. She knew that once this fiend decides to take her life, she would not be able to stop him. For the first time, Lily felt that she had no choice but to feign calmness in front of him. It was because Mr. Kuznetsov was known in his country as someone who is a true misogynistic pig! He thought that all women were weak and did not equal to men. He looked down on them and could only see them as tools at his disposal.

Lily couldn't pretend that this fact doesn't anger her. "So… Victor…" Lily started but was forced to swallow the rest of her words when she saw Victor out of the Library. "Did you kill him?" Lily immediately asked.

"Why does it matter?" Victor smiled, his voice no longer shy or grim. In fact it was the opposite of it."To make you feel better… he is still alive." Victor grinned as he stood next to Mr. Kuznetsov . "Lord… I followed your orders. Everything should be good now. It doesn't look like she had someone with her aside from that man."

A sneer escaped Mr. Kuznetsov's lips when he heard his servant's voice. He couldn't imagine what would be his good friend, Mr. Neeson's reaction once he knew that Mr. Kuznetsov got a hold of information that would help his country. "Stop pretending and give me that box right now."

"You want… this?" Lily's face paled as her hands trembled. "Why?" Her gaze turned towards the butler who had served her grandmother for years."Why did you kill her?" As expected, her question surprised both Mr. Kuznetsov and Victor.

"How did you know it was me?" Victor asked but the surprise on his face didn't last too long. He stared at Lily's face before he sneered. "Why do you think?" He raised an eyebrow. The image of the old weak man who accompanied Lily earlier was long gone. Instead it was replaced by a burly man that was full of hate in his eyes. "Why the hell would I kill the woman who saved me?" his voice turned gruff and sinister. "Since you are so smart… why don't you take a guess?
