Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

Everyone’s hearts froze and skipped a beat.

This gatekeeper is really principled. Without permitting us to do external work, where do we get our income from?

We are already used to being unrestrained. Who will be able to tolerate this sudden announcement?

This will sever our source of income.

…

Everyone exchanged looks. Shen Qianshu’s decision would directly affect their personal gains. Shen Qianshu said blandly, “You don’t have to worry. Other than this, everything else will still be unchanged. If you are worried that you will not have any income, then you are wrong. Yang Ping had brought all of you onto a stray path. For all these years, Black Rose has always stayed under the radar. We can do mercenary missions, such as protection. As long as the missions do not break the law, you can accept them. We will also distribute missions to you at certain timings; at least, it will ensure that you have something to do. Otherwise, where would we get the money to sustain all of you from? You don’t have to worry about this point.”

This was what it meant to serve both gratitude and threat simultaneously.

Shen Qianshu said, “You are the protection of the Black Rose’s headquarters. For so many years, it was also your group of agents that exposed Black Rose in front of the anti-terrorists. We are not a terrorist organization. You must divert the attention of the anti-terrorists. From now on, I will not permit you to cause any trouble again.”

Beckman said, “I agree with the gatekeeper. I have always disagreed with all of you always pitting yourself against the world. I have never carried out Yang Ping’s orders.”

Beckman upheld his values better than them.

Everyone looked at one another.

Shen Qianshu looked at the agents below and said coldly, “It’s enough, speak less nonsense. Will no one confess to this incident?”

No one spoke. Shen Qianshu nodded. “If so, Beckman, you will be responsible for this investigation. Once the investigation starts, if any of you wish to confess, I will no longer consider it. Before the truth is revealed by the investigation, no one is allowed to leave the castle. Those who leave will be dealt with like a traitor!”

“…” Everyone was dumbstruck.

Once Shen Qianshu said these words, everyone knew that this was a trap.

We have underestimated the new Gatekeeper. We initially thought that she was a girl and tried to intimidate her at the start. We thought that it was so until she said that those who refused to come will have to quit the Black Rose.

No one was willing to quit the Black Rose.

Even if there were some people who still followed Yang Ping’s orders, they did not want to quit the Black Rose either. Hence, they had to come. However, by coming, they had also fallen into the trap.

Those guilty would definitely leave. If they were not guilty, then they would not be scared of the investigation.

With Beckman investigating, they were just like sitting ducks.

Shen Qianshu smiled coldly. “For the last time, I will ask again. Does anyone confess to this attack?”

Shen Qianshu thought secretly, This group of people have tightly-sealed mouths.

She hoped that they would be able to bear it. If it was investigated to be them, she would not hold back. Now, the smarter ones would know that it was time to confess.

The agents remained silent.

Shen Qianshu said, “Very well!”

Beckman was responsible for investigating this case. He brought a few familiar people and left the castle. Molise asked, “Gatekeeper, why can Beckman leave? What if he was the one who planned the attack?”

“Never!” said Shen Qianshu. “If it’s him, I will have my own ways to handle it and capture him. So, all of you don’t have to worry. Up till now, only Beckman is my own man. Naturally, I have to believe him.”
