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.”
