Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Second Master, follow us. Yang Ping’s dead. This exchange cannot be completed,” said a secret guard. “Our men are at the sea territory ten kilometers away, waiting to retrieve Second Master.”

“Yang Ping is dead?” Ye Tingyun was extremely surprised.

“Yes.” These secret guards had always followed Ye Tingyun and were loyal to him. “News came from City A saying that Master had pinpointed Yang Ping’s location. When he went over to capture her, Yang Ping set up a trap, wanting to die together alongside Miss Shen and Master. Master saw through the plan, and she chose to commit suicide instead.”

“This is bad.” Ye Tingyun looked at his anklet. This self-exploding device could only be removed by Bruce. If Yang Ping was dead and the exchange could not proceed, Bruce might not yield so easily.

“Second Master, what’s wrong?”

Ye Tingyun lifted his pants up slightly, and the secret guards noticed the anklet. A man squatted hurriedly to check the anklet. “Second Master, don’t worry. We can remove this type of anklets.”

“No, as long as I stray one kilometer away, the anklet will explode automatically. Even if you send a bomb disposal expert in, you may not have an opportunity like tonight. Bruce did not send anyone to follow me because he was certain that we could not remove the anklet. He was a bomb expert in the Black Rose. His anklet will not be so easily removable.”

He was confident enough to let him walk alone on the island. He was certain.

“Then what should we do?”

“Go back and inform my brother that Yang Ping must be alive.”

“But she’s already dead.”

“Just tell that to my brother. He knows what to do.” Ye Tingyun stood with his arms behind his back, looking towards the hospital slowly. His gaze was unfathomable. “There’s one more thing…”

He paused. “Do you see the girl from before?”

“We saw her!” The two secret guards looked at each other. They also saw this girl on the monitoring screen. Their Second Master actually taught her how to write her name. How gentle.

Could she be the future Second Mistress?

“Bring her away in the midst of chaos,” said Ye Tingyun in a soft voice. “She’s not very obedient but… don’t hurt her.”

“Yes!”

Ye Ling and Shen Qianshu were already at the ocean, waiting for the secret guards to return. Ye Ling dispatched three teams of secret guards. One of them had returned, and the other two remained in disguise on the island to protect Ye Tingyun.

The sea breeze was a little cold. Ye Tingyun coughed slightly, and Shen Qianshu draped a cloak on him. This was a personal matter, and they did not mobilize the Black Rose’s forces. Everyone here was Ye Tingyun’s and Ye Ling’s men.

No one expected Yang Ping’s death. She had always remained in the deep mountains, certain early on that Shen Qianshu had already confirmed her location. Hence, she put all her stakes on planning their collective deaths, eventually harming both others and herself.

With her death, the exchange could not be completed. Ye Ling was afraid that Bruce would take the risk and want Ye Tingyun’s death in compensation. Hence, he personally brought men there to rescue him. He could not let Ye Tingyun die in the hands of these pirates.

“Master, with Yang Ping dead, one of our sore points will be gone. We can definitely save Ting Yun,” said Shen Qianshu softly. “Since Bruce definitely wants Yang Ping, we will give him a Yang Ping.”

Ye Ling said, “No way!”

He outrightly refused.

Shen Qianshu acted cute and pulled his hand, shaking it softly. “You haven’t heard what I was about to say.”

“I know what you want to say. You want to pretend to be Yang Ping.”

Only Shen Qianshu could pretend to be Yang Ping. She had a sufficient understanding of the Bruce and Yang Ping. She could pass off as the real thing if she pretended to be Yang Ping. Now that it was uncertain what Bruce wanted Yang Ping for, he was uneasy letting Shen Qianshu take the risk.
