Chapter 698: Triggered At Any Moment
The woman’s words made everyone slip into silence.
Second Old Master Gu subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Madam, who was sitting on the wheelchair. His Madam was quiet like a porcelain doll. Was his Madam once a gatekeeper of Black Rose? She had worn this brooch for a period of four or five years until she was met with a car accident, which resulted in the brooch going missing.
If he knew whose hands the brooch was in, did it mean that he would know who had caused her to be in a vegetative state for more than 20 years back then?
Second Old Master Gu’s gaze slightly narrowed. He looked deeply at Black Rose. This woman was now Black Rose’s gatekeeper. Did Fangfang’s car accident have anything to do with her?
“If you do not make yourself clear today, you can forget about leaving!” Second Old Master Gu said in a low voice. His voice was fierce and malicious. He seemed to be torn apart by hatred that was kept inside for more than 20 years. He had been looking for the murderer who made him lose his wife and daughter.
Ye Ling’s gaze fell as he looked at Second Old Master Gu.
The woman laughed loudly. “You want to know whose hands Fang Hongxiu’s Blood Rose was in?”
Second Old Master Gu looked at Ye Ling.
Both of them looked at each other with hostility.
The answer was needless to say.
“Enough!” Gu Yuanli yelled in a low voice. The matter he worried the most had happened eventually.
Ye Ling’s heart was in complete confusion at that moment. When she gave the Blood Rose to him back then, it was not that she wanted him to die. It held another deep meaning. She wanted to give the Blood Rose to him as it held a mysterious and strong power after all.
If he could command the Black Rose, the Ye Family would not dare to do anything to him.
Did he misunderstand his mother’s intentions?
“It landed in Aventura’s hands, who was Ye Ling’s biological mother.” The woman smiled slightly. “The Black Rose only recognizes the keepsake. Whoever has the keepsake will be the owner of the Black Rose. If there is no keepsake, it will be up to the elders to select the gatekeeper.”
“Every gatekeeper will have his or her own successor if they do not have any children. Aventura was not the successor chosen by Fang Hongxiu back then. Yet, why did the Blood Rose land into her hands?”
“There is no evidence. You can say whatever you want.” Ye Tingjun shrugged. He stood at Ye Ling’s side, and his gaze was firm. “I can also say that you tried to frame someone.”
The relationship between Ghost City and Ye Ling was already as incompatible as fire and water. If there was another case of hatred, there would be no solution to it, and they would fight until they died.
Judging from Second Old Master Gu’s deep love for Fang Hongxiu, this revenge had to be taken.
“You are saying that Aventura planned the car accident and caused my daughter’s death and that she also caused my wife to be in a vegetative state for more than 20 years?”
“So how do you explain the Blood Rose in Aventura’s hands?” The woman said calmly. “I forgot to tell you that Aventura had schizophrenia. Her first personality was weak and powerless. Her second personality was a killer.”
Ye Ling’s hands were slightly clasped together. Shen Qianshu put a hand on his shoulder, stroking it lightly.
Master, don’t be angry!
It must be the opposite party sowing discord.
Shen Qianshu sneered. “Aventura had already died. Even if you splash dirty water on her, she also would not jump up and refute you. It is just that for many years, there were no traces of this Blood Rose until recently, when Gu Yuanli gave me the Blood Rose. Shifu, since it is the keepsake of the Black Rose and you are so familiar with the Black Rose, how can you not know that this is their keepsake? And why did you give me this brooch?”
Could it be that they had from the beginning set a trap to let Ye Ling and Second Old Master Gu from Ghost City destroy each other?
That woman sneered and was about to speak when Gu Yuanli shouted angrily, “Enough!”
