Chapter 760: The Black Rose’s Secret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Yuanli was donned in a long robe and sitting in the balcony. His injuries were all on his back, and he could not lie down. It was also unbearable if he laid on his front. Hence, he simply kept sitting down. Shen Qianshu walked to his side.
Gu Yuanli asked calmly, “Have you seen Father?”
Shen Qianshu nodded her head and sat beside him. There was silence between the two of them.
For a long time.
“Why did you choose to endure the beating over telling us the truth?” Shen Qianshu looked at him. She really could not understand him. “The biggest secret was already unraveled. Why are you still hiding some of the small secrets?”

“I don’t know,” Shen Qianshu said softly. “Allow me to make a bold guess. You must be very familiar with Black Rose?”
Gu Yuanli was silent.
Shen Qianshu’s pair of beautiful eyes was all filled with suspicion. “You like her?”
Gu Yuanli continued to be silent.
“If she is not your lover or someone close to you, why would you cover up for her?”
“I have never covered up for her.”
She had seen Gu Yuanli being fierce and speaking harshly to Black Rose in the Gu manor. It was because of this that made her guess boldly that they were surely familiar with each other.
“You were also involved in what Black Rose did?” Shen Qianshu asked. “Mom being in a coma had something to do with you? But you were still so young at that time. Why would you have something to do with it? But why?”
“Little Shu, stop here. Don’t ask already, alright?”
“I spoke to the Black Rose over the phone today. She wants me to meet her alone.”
Gu Yuanli suddenly turned around. As he was too anxious, the wound was brutally pulled open. There was cold sweat on his forehead, and his gaze was filled with horror. “You are not allowed to go. Are you crazy?”
“I didn’t promise her,” Shen Qianshu said. “Do you know why she wants to look for me? If she wants me dead, it’d be incredibly easy for her. But why does she want me alive? Does she want to use me to threaten someone?”
Besides Fang Hongxiu, only Gu Yuanli could give her an answer with regards to this matter.

Shen Qianshu said, “Second Brother, tell me.”
Gu Yuanli gave a sigh. “All the common people know that Black Rose is a mysterious organization with great power. However, they do not know that within the Black Rose, they have already fallen apart. They are united against external forces, but their internal disputes are very brutal. After Aventura died, the Black Rose has not had a true gatekeeper anymore.”
“Mom handed over the position of the gatekeeper to Aventura.”
“Right,” Gu Yuanli said. “Mom and Aventura were as close as sisters.”
“Why did Black Rose say that it was Aventura who plotted the car accident? The Blood Rose also landed in Aventura’s hands.”
“In the beginning, they were as close as sisters. Subsequently, they fell out with each other. The actual reason is unknown. I did not know what actually happened regarding the car accident back then. The Black Rose said before that Aventura was originally the successor to the position. If Mom died, she did not need the Blood Rose, and she could inherit Black Rose. In actual fact, besides Mom, no one knew who caused the car accident. The person who went after her life back then was someone sent by Black Rose. Her coma was linked to Black Rose. Of course, there were also enemies of Ghost City.”
“Since both of the gatekeepers had died, why wasn’t there anyone to inherit Black Rose all these years?”
Gu Yuanli slightly furrowed his eyebrows. His face was sunken. “Firstly, there was no trace of the Blood Rose. Secondly... the candidate for the position died during the assessment.”
