Chapter 1272: Gatekeeper’s Aggression

Shen Qianshu’s words were firm and powerful. The pale boy looked like he had heard some bad news. His face was pale and his body icy-cold as if it had been doused with ice. His face was so white that it was a little scary.
He did not dare to speak anymore. Shen Qianshu stood upright, her expression extremely unpleasant. She had escaped death by a hair’s breadth and passed a cruel selection that she thought only existed in movies. She had crawled through a jungle full of poisonous insects, trembling, constantly afraid of bullets shooting her dead from unknown corners, afraid that she would never see her lover or her son again. She did not go through all of that only for one challenge of democratic voting when she wished to do something.
So what was the point of going through all that?
Every single breath was almost life-threatening, and fear immersed everyone on the battlefield. Shen Qianshu’s aura field had fully opened. Everyone felt that their skies had changed; indeed, it was no longer Yang Ping’s era.
Their gatekeeper had changed.
It was Shen Qianshu.
It was Ye Ling!
After that statement, no one spoke, and no one rebuked.
Just screw democracy.
Shen Qianshu took a deep breath to suppress the anger rising within her and glanced at Beckman. Beckman was a good assistant and a good partner. He stood up and asked, “Who planned the ambush this time?”
Nobody answered!
Every Black Rose agent in Paris was present.
Molise said, “Gatekeeper, we may not be the one who initiated the attack. Perhaps there is someone trying to frame it on us. Please investigate clearly.”
Meng Qi laughed coldly. “Didn’t you say earlier that Black Rose’s agents had always been working like this? You all cover up for each other with words. You clearly know who did it. Who would believe it when you say now that you are being framed by someone? I am Black Rose’s agent too. Why don’t I ever do bad things?”
Molise looked at Meng Qi and stopped talking. She thought that since this issue did not concern her anyway, she had no need to waste her words. The Gatekeeper should have already made a decision.
Beckman was the most frustrated. After all, he was the leader of this group of people. He had his suspicions, but Shen Qianshu was too absolute with her words, leaving no leeway. He was afraid that it would be uncontrollable if things really got fired up.
Beckman said, “The Gatekeeper has already said that we will handle this issue generously. If you really did it, stand up and confess. I will spare your life.”
Still, no one stood out. Shen Qianshu had actually considered the possibility that this incident was not carried out by Black Rose’s men. However, it was very strange. Lady White had mentioned that Yang Ping and Mo Er had already been expelled out of the Black Rose. The internal system would not accommodate anyone expelled out of Black Rose. A day before the terrorist attack, their intranet had constantly been tracking the head of state’s routes.
This was a member of the internal department. It could not be someone else framing them.
Furthermore, the traces of ammunition also belonged to Black Rose, unless Mo Er used someone familiar. However, even so, there were still traces of Black Rose without question. Only then was Shen Qianshu determined to let them confess on their own.
A boy asked, “Gatekeeper, so we can’t do this anymore in the future?
Shen Qianshu’s temper subsided a little. She said coldly, “Yes. You can’t do this in the future. I know that when Yang Ping was around, you could use the intranet to sell information and hire mercenaries. Black Rose could not control it. In recent years, the internal department of Black Rose has also fallen apart and could not control you either. All of you were outside all year round and don’t even care about the military order. However, after Ye Ling and I become the gatekeepers, you must adapt to our style. Black Rose will definitely not permit the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. We will never allow terrorist attacks or crimes!”
