Gu Yuanli smiled. It was a frosty smile, and he did not answer her.
Shen Qianshu felt her heart sinking. Is this actually for real?
She had interacted with Gu Yuanli for quite a bit of time, and she could tell when someone was lying through their body language. Gu Yuanli had actually wanted to protect her. But why did Black Rose want to look for her? She did not even know Black Rose.
“Why? Tell me!” Shen Qianshu’s heart was aching.
“I don’t know,” Gu Yuanli said calmly. “I just received a notification that if Ye Ling does not hand you over to her, she would kill you. Little Shu, killing you is just too easy.”
Shen Qianshu suddenly realized.
Right, killing her was way too easy.
A professional murderer could kill her in a matter of minutes if they wanted to.
“Including your son,” Gu Yuanli said as he looked at Shen Qianshu with heavy eyes. “If I wanted to kill you or harbored any evil intentions on you, would you and Tong Hua be living so well these past few years? Haven’t you given this a thought?”
It was as if Shen Qianshu had lost all strength. Right, Gu Yuanli had no evil intentions for her. Even when she pointed a gun at him when she was filled with angst and hate, he made the others leave. He did not know what she might do, and yet, he insisted on meeting her personally.
He was not her enemy.
But why?
“I don’t understand!” Shen Qianshu exclaimed.
“You don’t have to. You just have to know that when Ye Ling is dead, Tong Hua and you are going to be safe. That’s all that matters,” Gu Yuanli said calmly. “Once Ye Ling dies, you will only have to deal with the Ye Family. With me around, the Ye Family would not dare to mess with you. Now that Ye Ling is dead, you are of no value to Black Rose. She would not search for you, and this is a happy ending. You do not have to look further into this matter.”
“You know Black Rose?” Shen Qianshu paused. Her eyes swept towards Gu Yuanli.
He seemed to be hiding something, but he regained his composure quickly. “We traded once. Not close. Black Rose and Ghost City have never been on good terms. We have many conflicts. Enemies.”
Shen Qianshu was mad. “Even if so, I don’t need you to decide for me. Who are you to interfere with my matters? Even if I were going to die, that is my problem. Who are you to kill Ye Ling? How dare you say that it is all for me. Despicable! Who are you to do so!”
“Because I am your…” Gu Yuanli tried to restrain himself before he could hold back his anger. He looked at the beautiful face in front of him, and his eyes turned frosty. Little Shu, do you really love Ye Ling that much?
So much that you could hold me at gunpoint?
“Who am I to you!” Shen Qianshu stared at him in shock.
“I am your Shifu. I have to protect you.”
“That’s unnecessary!” Shen Qianshu looked at him coldly. “Other than Ye Ling, I don’t need anyone else’s protection. Other than Ye Ling, no one has the right to harm me just to protect me. Shifu, you’re lying to me.”
“My intention is to protect you.”
“You are lying!” Shen Qianshu stared at him coldly. These years, all the kind deeds he had done for her flashed past her mind. She had sworn to be loyal to her Shifu for life. Even if it would take her life away, she would not even bat an eyelid. Yet, just in these few years, the swear was about to be broken.
“Shifu, thank you for protecting me and caring for me all these years. Thank you for saving Tong Hua.”
Shen Qianshu pointed the gun at her shoulder. “From now on, we don’t owe each other anything!”
“Little Shu!” Gu Yuanli was alarmed. He hurried over and grabbed her wrist.
A gunshot was heard in the entire casino!
