Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Almost at the same time, Gu Tian and all the guards in Ghost City pulled out their guns and pointed them at Shen Qianshu. Guns were not allowed three floors under the ground floor of Ghost City, but this rule did not apply to members of Ghost City.

 To avoid uncontrollable circumstances, the bodyguards here carried guns.

 The atmosphere was really tense.

 There were drips of cold sweat on Boss Qian’s forehead.

 “Master Qian, please speak nicely. Please speak nicely. Put down your gun first. Second Master is your Shifu. He wouldn’t hurt you.” The two of them were big figures that could not be offended. Gu Yuanli had been protecting Master Qian like the apple of his eye. The news of Master Qian being in Ghost City was not leaked out. He knew how important Master Qian was in Gu Yuanli’s heart. If the two of them wanted to fight, they should not involve the innocent.

Gu Yuanli looked really unhappy. This was not the first time someone had pointed a gun at him, and neither was it the first time he was being questioned by someone he was close to, but he had never expected that person to be Shen Qianshu. The way she grabbed the gun and aimed it at him was so accurate it looked as if she had been a bodyguard for years.

“Put the gun down!” Gu Yuanli said.

No one put their guns down, and Gu Tian was breaking into a cold sweat as well. No matter who was hurt, the consequences would be difficult to deal with. Gu Yuanli turned around and yelled. “Put the guns down!”

 Gu Tian was shocked. So, he wanted them to put the guns down.

 The bodyguards looked at each other in confusion, and they put down their guns.

 Downstairs, the fans of Master Qian squealed for him.

 “This is not the place to speak. Listen to me, let’s go inside.”

 “Say it here!”

 Boss Qian ran downstairs hurriedly to clear the area. The gamblers were not very willing to, but this was, after all, not their territory, so it was difficult to speak up about anything when so many people were around. The only way to solve this matter was to clear the whole area. Only Shen Qianshu and Gu Yuanli were left in the entire basement three levels underground.

 Boss Qian did not stay as well. Gu Tian had wanted to stay, but Gu Yuanli chased him out.

 The muzzle of Shen Qianshu’s gun was still pointed at him. “I trusted you so much. In all these years, I treated you like my elder brother, and I trusted you like a friend. You told me to never marry Ye Ling in my life, and I promised you that. You gave me something, and I accepted it without any question, but you had actually wanted to kill my lover. Shifu, you can’t lie with that expression in your eyes. You wish Ye Ling was dead more than the Ye Old Lady herself. Ghost City worked with Ye Ling so closely on so many businesses. Why did you want him dead?”

 This did not make any sense at all.

 “Does it matter if you know the reason? He’s dead!”

 “It does!” Shen Qianshu’s gaze was really cold. “When people are alive, they may be confused, but I want to live with a woke mentality. I am afraid of neither suffering nor disappointment. I want to know the truth. If I want to kill you, I want to know why I did so.”

 Gu Yuanli squinted. He had a pair of beautiful eyes that were cold and pure. “If he doesn’t die, you would.”

 Between Shen Qianshu and Ye Ling, he naturally preferred Shen Qianshu to be alive.

 “Why?” Shen Qianshu could not understand. This was totally different from what she had predicted.

 Gu Yuanli leaned backward, and his expression was unclear. He seemed tired, but he seemed to be mocking her. “Black Rose went to look for Ye Ling because of you. As long as Ye Ling hands you over to her, Black Rose would agree to anything Ye Ling demands from her. Ye Ling did not want to do as Black Rose said, and he insisted on doing things his way. Ultimately, he pissed Black Rose off.”

 He looked at Shen Qianshu expressionlessly. “Little Shu, nothing in this world can stop Black Rose. Not even Ghost City.”

 “I don’t even know her. Why does she want me? What for?”
