Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Gwen did this so secretly, and Beckman could find out about it. If any of you intend to plan on an explosion, there is no way that Beckman wouldn’t know. So stop with your pointless resistance.”

As soon as Shen Qianshu finished speaking, a youth came forward. “Leader, I know who did it, but you have to fulfill one condition.”

“MIKE!” Everyone shrieked.

Shen Qianshu calmly sat like an unmoving mountain. Her expression never changed. So many people knew about it, yet she sent Beckman to investigate it. How funny. These people were just here to cover things up for one another.

“Are you an enemy or a friend?” Shen Qianshu asked. “As a friend, I expect nothing but the truth. If you are an enemy, I’m sorry. I never negotiate with my enemies!”

Negotiating with Yang Ping caused her so much pain. She only knew how to drag people into more pain and sorrow. So, she had learned to never negotiate again.

Unless they had something in their hands that was worth sacrificing for.

Such as Tong Hua.

Or maybe, Ye Ling.

No one would have thought that Shen Qianshu would be so firm on her decisions and that she would not even give them a chance. Mike’s face turned red, and in anger, he said, “Leader, our plan for this attack has nothing to do with Yang Ping or Mo Er at all.”

Shen Qianshu raised her brows. She was a little alarmed. It had nothing to do with Mo Er. How? That person had traveled across Europe just for an opportunity to cause trouble for her.

Mike said, “Leader, after all this time, I don’t wish to treat you as an enemy, and neither does anyone else here. So I will choose to speak the truth. Mo Er has indeed come to us, and he wished that we would cooperate with them. They want to cause serious harm to you and Leader Ye. They had gone to look for Beckman as well, but Beckman did not tell you about it because he had rejected that offer. Neither did he wish to cause unnecessary alarm. Mo Er has been controlling us with Yang Ping for years. They had treated us so well for many years, and it is only natural for us to repay what they have done for us. But this time, the attack really has nothing to do with them.”

A young lady stood up. “Leader, I was the one. It has nothing to do with them. Please don’t take any actions against them. I will bear the consequences.”

“Lily!”

Lily raised her hand to signal for him not to speak. Shen Qianshu was calm and collected, still. “Since it has nothing to do with Yang Ping and Mo Er, why was this attack planned?”

“For revenge!” Lily said with a truthful look in her eyes. “Ever since Yang Ping’s crimes were exposed, we have severed all ties with her. Mo Er searched for us several times, and we pushed him down. We stick to our initial mission, which is to stay loyal to the Black Rose and no one else. Even if we had done terrible things and planned murderous crimes, we never disobey the orders of the Black Rose.

“Three years ago, we went on a mission given by the Lady White from the headquarters in Black Rose. Seven of us were killed for being spies, and our mission failed. The murderer has since then been promoted from a soldier to a chief. He took part in several European discussions. This time, I was the one who planned the attack. The initial goal was to avenge our brothers and sisters. We did not intend to cause chaos. Otherwise, why would only one die and ten-plus people be injured? If our plan was to cause chaos, there would have long been a river of blood.”

Mike said, “The brothers and sisters died for us, so we have the obligation to seek revenge. Leader, please forgive us!”
