Shen Qianshu pursed her lips and said softly, “So, in other words, you acknowledged the attack, but you don’t know why Molise was killed, right?”
“Yes!” Lily said, “New leader, new style. Leader, you have to give us time to adapt. For more than 20 years, no outside agents have been in charge. We all listened to Yang Ping. It was so for the previous generation as well. The same is true for ours. Black Rose, this umbrella that provides us with cover has long fallen apart, and it needs some form of integration. You need time, and so do we. Leader, please believe us. If you are really capable, subdue us, and we will do what you say. ”
Shen Qianshu raised her brows. This is how they try to patch things up?
The European agents were self-contained. Naturally, they were willing to give in. Shen Qianshu would not do nothing about it. Meng Qi quickly checked the information, and he nodded as if to signal for everyone to keep silent, but he did not say anything.
Lily was speaking the truth. The person who died was her sister.
“Tell me the detailed plans of your attack and the people who are involved. I promise, if it is true, I will look on the brighter side.”
Lily and Mike made eye contact. Then, they told her everything. This matter affected over twenty people, and they all knew about it. In fact, they participated in it in some ways.
Since it was hidden, Shen Qianshu could not follow the initial punishment.
She said calmly. “Since Lily is the Mastermind and Mike is the main accomplice, the death penalty is waived. Go to the punishment room. Each of you will receive 50 whips. The rest of you will have demerits recorded. You can get your own records from the intranet. After three commits, you will be expelled from Black Rose. If it is a serious violation, you will be immediately expelled.”
“Yes!”
Lily and Mike went into the punishment room to await their punishment.
Shen Qianshu dispersed everyone. Meng Qi said, “You are so quick to give out punishments. You are not going to press on further about all the things that they have kept from you?”
“It depends on what they are hiding. I believe in Lily and Mike. They are just there for revenge. This can’t be fake. What I can think of now is that there could have been some kind of hidden information regarding the missions in the past. They are trying to correct their mistakes, and that is why they hide it so strongly. You are so gossipy. Have you heard about anything? I felt like you had something to say.”
Meng Qi nodded and said, “I have heard of that mission. I am not sure from where, but you can just listen to it and not take it too seriously. Lily does have an older sister. She fell in love with the chief at that time. The chief got information about Black Rose from her and knew about how the technology there is way ahead of the world. So he made use of her to find the headquarters of Black Rose. Lily’s sister was trapped by love, and she betrayed Black Rose. Lily and Mike led a group of people who wanted to follow the chief and betray Black Rose, but Yang Ping later knew about it. She sent Mo Er to kill his sister and separated the chief from Lily and Mike. The chief was also a ruthless man. Following Yang Ping’s plan, he killed several agents, instantly becoming enemies with Lily and Mike.”
“… ” Shen Qianshu was dumbstruck.
Meng Qi thought for a while. “In fact, there is also some insider information. I heard that Lily urged her sister to hook up with the chief to fight back. They were unhappy with Yang Ping, but they were not capable enough to deal with her. The chief had an army, fuel oil, and money, but he did not expect Yang Ping to play them all. Lily and Mike went for wool and came back shorn.”
