Chapter 958: Beginning of A New Counterpart
Lu Mengxi hung up the phone and looked at the darkness. She smiled, and there seemed to be a lot of meaning to it. She had achieved her goal. Whatever happened next had nothing to do with her anymore. “Remove all traces for us clearly. Do not let anyone else sense our involvement.”
“I know. Rest assured.”
Xie Jinghuan was in the monitoring room. A surveillance officer said, “The satellite is now online.”
“Monitor it carefully. Don’t be afraid of wasting resources. You have to find the shipping company, identity number, and workers on board for every single ship in the sea. All our information has to match those of the customs. Inform me immediately if anything is fishy about any ship.”
“Yes!”
Xie Jinghuan was not in the country, but he was in charge of all the security and information systems. He had stronger means abroad than the special forces team in his own country.
On the boat.
The ocean breeze was exceptionally fierce tonight. The sea was on high tide. Shen Qianshu woke up from the bumps. She was captured in a small cabin. She could hear the sound of the waves, and she knew that she was not on land.
Her body was aching tremendously.
She got out of bed and knocked on the door. A hipster girl pushed the door open, almost hitting her. She was chewing on some gum as if she was here to watch a show. “You’re awake? Great beauty, are you not feeling comfortable?”
Shen Qianshu retreated. The lights in the cabin were dim, and the youth’s face was not very clear. Shen Qianshu took a deep breath. “I want to see Black Rose.”
“Come with me!”
On the boat, it was impossible for Shen Qianshu to escape. Even if she jumped into the sea, the agents on board the ferry would jump in to pull her corpse back up. She was not intending to struggle in vain. Black Rose was very assured too. She did not even lock her with chains.
Monica brought her upstairs. Black Rose was at the podium, and there were some youths by both sides. Shen Qianshu calculated her strength and theirs. It was just too disparate. She could only wait and see what happened next.
“No matter if I am willing or not, I will still land in your hands eventually.” Shen Qianshu looked at Black Rose openly. “You win.”
Black Rose said, “I told you. No matter what you do, they would all be struggles in vain.”
“No. You won, by luck.” Shen Qianshu laughed. “Of course, luck is also part of skill.”
She believed that Ye Ling had already put all the deployments in place and that only some important steps were left, but no one would have expected his illness to attack prematurely. When Bo Yiren said that had stopped taking his medicine, Qianshu had already guessed that Ye Ling released Noah to deal with Black Rose.
Noah said that he needed him.
That proved her hypothesis right.
However, her scandals and the insults online worsened his health condition. He lost control and had a relapse prematurely. This created an opening for a breakthrough for Black Rose.
Black Rose laughed. “Time to talk about cooperating with me.”
“Before the discussion, I have a question and a favor to ask from you.”
“Please say.”
“Did Ye Ling agree to all of your requests in exchange that you let me go and let him replace me to be your puppet?”
“That’s right.”
“You agreed to it.”
“That’s right.”
“You also promised him that you would remove the bomb in my body, but you lied to him.”
“Smart.”
Shen Qianshu laughed. “It’s not hard to predict.”
“You have asked the question. What about the favor?” Black Rose was in a good mood strangely.
Shen Qianshu laughed. “Simple. If you want me to be your puppet, show me your sincerity and remove the bomb in my body. I believe in the medical team of the Rose Society. They can retrieve the bomb in me.”
She paused. “If you object to it, then throw me into the sea to feed the sharks in the open sea. That saves your energy.”
