Chapter 1288 - Suspicion

Chapter 1288: Suspicion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shen Qianshu never thought there would be such a major plot twist. It was not one person who planned this, but a whole group of people. She sat quietly and felt suspicion. Fine, vengeance. I understand. But why did they have to shoot Molise?

Was it to prevent Molise from exposing something?

Mike and Lily stood in front of her, and they both admitted their attack frankly. Lily was the mastermind while Mike and a team cooperated along with them. Shen Qianshu remained silent the whole time.

Everyone else was panicking.

“Leader, our brothers were tortured to death, and their deaths were terrible. We have been searching for the chief’s whereabouts in the past few years outside carrying out our respective missions. He is very clever and good at being secretive. We couldn’t find him. There was no suitable opportunity for that. This time is a godsend. We planned it for a few months. It has nothing to do with you. At that time, you were not involved in the selection of Black Rose yet, and we had already started planning for this.”

Lily handed Shen Qianshu a document. From the beginning, she had been recording everything down. Indeed, they had been planning it even before Shen Qianshu was in the selection test. Shen Qianshu looked at them calmly.

She said, “Let me ask you. All these years, the anti-terrorism group has been sending people into Black Rose. How do you guys handle the issue?”

“...” Everyone was dumbstruck.

Meng Qi said, “Cruel torture to death.”

Shen Qianshu nodded and said softly, “You are a group of soldiers. You have signed a life and death certificate. If you receive such a high salary and pension annually, you must be prepared to sacrifice. This is true for everyone, including me. I think you have already made preparations for sacrifice. The death of brothers and sisters is not only that group of people. Is it that you are going to avenge everyone?”

Mike was furious. “Leader, do you mean that we cannot even seek to avenge for the people who have died?”

“Don’t twist the concepts!” Shen Qianshu yelled. “Last year, two agents died in Europe. Did any of you seek revenge? No, you even took the escort service provided by the murderers. You guys spoke and laughed jovially, regardless of the life and death of your fellow peers. Why care about the life and death of that specific group of people? Don’t try to guilt-trip me with some moral values. You guys don’t even have them!”

Lily made eye contact with Mike. They did not think that Shen Qianshu would be so familiar with the matters of the agents in Europe since she had just picked up the baton.

Shen Qianshu raised her brows. “Meng Qi, match the information.”

Meng Qi nodded and went to do so. Lily clenched her fist, and her veins were popping. She suppressed her anger. “Leader, why don’t you trust us?”

“You guys aren’t worthy of my trust!”

“...” Everyone was dumbstruck.

No one would have thought that Shen Qianshu would say that so straightforwardly.

Shen Qianshu said calmly. “If you guys are worthy of trust, you should have spoken the truth when I asked the first time. You do not even trust that I would be a just person. You guys don’t even believe that I can solve your problems. Since it is so, why should I trust you?”

Trust was mutual.

If you don’t trust me, I naturally won’t trust you either.

Lily lowered her arrogant head. “I’m sorry, Leader!”

Shen Qianshu pondered. She was confused about what happened to Molise. “Since it is so, why did you have to murder Molise?”

“He is not one of us,” Mike said. “I know at such a time like this, we are very suspicious and anything we say would sound sketchy. In fact, in your eyes, we might just be trying to silence him by killing him. But he is not one of us. We are confused as to why we had to kill Molise as well. If Molise wasn’t hurt, things could have escalated into a more serious stand, and we would not be so frank with you.”
