Black Rose took a step back and pulled at her veil such that some parts could be seen. Her bright red lips could be seen, but no one could see her face. Black Rose said, “Don’t regret if you want to see my real face!”
Her voice was really chilly.
Cold and chilly.
Ye Ling was used to hearing Shen Qianshu’s pleasant voice, and he was really irritated by such a cold, hard voice. He looked at Black Rose expressionlessly. “Why? You don’t dare to show your true face, huh?”
“Ye Ling, I am not your enemy. You do not have to be on guard against me.”
“HA!” Ye Ling laughed coldly. “You have no qualifications to be my enemy. Enemies of me, Ye Ling, will never be people who hide themselves.”
“If I am your enemy, you would not have been able to escape at the auction,” Black Rose said. “I’ve been searching for you because I want to ask about someone.”
“Who?”
“The woman by your side.” Black Rose sounded really cold. “As long as you give her to me, I will agree to anything that you say.”
“What?!”
Ye Ling felt a chill run down his spine. The only woman by his side was Shen Qianshu. He would never think that Black Rose wanted Tong Hua. He looked at her expressionlessly. Black Rose said, “You can take your time to consider…”
“There’s no need for that. Don’t even think about it,” Ye Ling said calmly.
Black Rose laughed lightly. “Ye Ling, if you give her to me, I will agree to anything you say. You want people, resources, power? Anything. I just want Shen Qianshu in exchange. This is a great deal for you.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Ye Ling stared at her coldly. “Let me warn you. If you dare to lay a finger on my people, I will never let you off no matter what.”
He hung up the video call. He did not want to discuss further with Black Rose.
What could there be between Black Rose and Shen Qianshu? They are two people from different worlds.
Why does Black Rose want Shen Qianshu?
What for?
Zhong Ran said, “Master…”
“Investigate. Check if Black Rose is in Golden City. Preferably have her here alive.”
Zhong Ran said, “Master, we do not have enough people in the Golden City. It’s not easy if we want to capture Black Rose. If we take a wrong step, we will lose everyone. This is not Europe. We have to play safe in everything that we do. I suggest collaborating with the police, but I’m afraid that they might be two-faced and corrupted.”
Ye Ling stuck out his finger as if he was thinking of something. In the dark night, his face was really deep and dark. He looked really chilling. Zhong Ran had been following him around for so many years, and he rarely saw him having such a scary face.
Black Rose was a bomb that could explode anytime.
She seemed to know many things. Zhong Ran had always thought that Black Rose’s target was Ye Ling.
But no one would have thought that Black Rose’s target was actually Shen Qianshu.
Shen Qianshu and Black Rose were two different people. Why did she want Shen Qianshu?
“Zhong Ran, am I wrong?” Ye Ling asked softly. “Her life with Tong Hua is good. Tong Hua is an international child star, and she is a genius appraiser. With or without me, her life would have been so much better. No one would bully them. But the moment I appeared, not only did I mess up their peaceful life, I even brought them trouble and danger. Now, Black Rose is targeting her. If it were not for me, she would have had a peaceful and happy life.”
This was the first time that he showed any signs of remorse.
But it only appeared for three seconds. Before Zhong Ran could answer, Ye Ling answered himself. “But so what? I have nothing. I only want one person. Is it so hard?”
