My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1576 - 1577: As If Facing a Formidable Enemy

Sponsored

Director Ji’s move was destined to fail.

Faced with surveillance as pervasive as a net, any scheme is doomed to be aborted; it’s a given.

At the banquet, anyone, whether going to the restroom or entering less crowded areas, becomes a target of surveillance.

This applies to Director Ji, and even more so to others who are under tight surveillance.

When Director Ji appeared near the beverage area, he had already become a suspect. The waiter who brushed past him, leaving the beverage area, was none other than Yang Yan in disguise.

At that moment, Yang Yan, following orders from Ye Fan, deliberately left the beverage area, intentionally creating an opportunity for Director Ji.

It was up to Director Ji to act—doing nothing would show he’s overcautious, while any reckless action could lead to him becoming a prisoner.

The facts proved Director Ji was indeed the mole; his actions betrayed him.

The poison in Director Ji’s possession was specially crafted. Just three to five drops in a wine bottle were enough to kill several people.

If the poison in his hand were fully unleashed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Many of those at the banquet would certainly collapse.

Thus, under tight vigilance, Director Ji’s plan was unfeasible.

To succeed, it must be when Ye Fan and his team are unprepared or when vigilance is lax, taking advantage of his position and others’ trust to achieve the desired result for Hunt Cat.

However, under such sensitive circumstances, Director Ji was like a dead man walking, unlike the trained operatives like Hunt Cat.

Stealing some intelligence or stealing the research institute’s results was not difficult for Director Ji, who often interacted with such data.

Now, attempting successful poisoning was akin to scaling impossible heights.

Yang Yan, disguised as the waiter, to avoid suspicion, walked a short distance before stopping at a corner.

"Capture him silently; don’t make any noise that alerts others," Ye Fan ordered, seeing Director Ji’s disgraceful behavior on the video.

"Yes!" Yang Yan’s demeanor changed instantly from a gentle waiter to a Warrior, exuding spirit and sharpness.

Just as Director Ji, filled with anxiety and tension, was about to poison the second bottle, he heard footsteps behind him.

The footsteps belonged to Yang Yan, intentionally made loud and clear.

Director Ji suddenly turned around, pulling his hands back.

After trying hard to calm down, he slowly regained composure.

He pretended that nothing had happened, and that he had done nothing wrong.

However, Yang Yan’s piercing gaze made him involuntarily shiver.

Director Ji smiled softly, preparing to leave when Yang Yan spoke in a calm tone, "Director Ji, no need to act anymore. Come with me."

"Wha-what?" Director Ji was startled, his expression changing drastically.

"You better not scream, or I won’t hesitate to use force. You wouldn’t want to see such a scene, would you?" Yang Yan approached with a cold smile.

To Director Ji, her smile seemed akin to a ghost’s, chilling him to the bone, forcing him to shiver uncontrollably.

"I don’t understand what you mean. Who are you?" Director Ji continued to feign ignorance.

"You’ll understand. The saddest thing about a person is failing to recognize reality and lacking self-awareness," Yang Yan remarked cryptically.

At this point, Director Ji’s last shred of hope and fantasy vanished.

He felt as if all strength had been drained from him, on the verge of collapse.

He didn’t even have the courage or thought to escape.

Yang Yan was accustomed to such scenes, having seen many mighty officials reduced to helplessness when faced with bribery evidence, each looking like a spineless shrimp that requires support to move.

At this time, Director Ji was just like those corrupt officials.

Yang Yan chuckled mockingly, escorting Director Ji out through the prepared green channel, ensuring not to disrupt the birthday banquet.

Although the banquet was not insignificant, the absence of three to five non-main characters would not cause any ripples, nor would it attract attention.

Director Ji was secretly taken away, along with the toxic wine.

"Stay vigilant, keep your eyes wide open, and don’t overlook any suspicious person or thing," Ye Fan stressed.

Through earpieces, these instructions were relayed to everyone participating in the operation.

Everyone, from plainclothes agents at the banquet to backstage personnel, was once again fully alert.

The situation was still unclear; whether there were more enemies or not was unknown, demanding a cautious, vigilant stance.

Ensuring the safety of every person on the banquet list was the highest protocol for each participant in the mission.

Everyone remained at their posts without an ounce of carelessness allowed.

The banquet proceeded as usual, with eating, drinking, entertainment, and discussions.

Towards the end of the banquet, among the crowd, Qian Weiwei muttered, "Useless, Hunt Cat’s men truly are useless. Such a rare opportunity, yet they accomplished nothing. Those sent in didn’t even make the slightest noise, vanishing into thin air."

She foresaw Hunt Cat’s operation might yield no results.

But now, as it unfolded around her, she felt immense disappointment in Hunt Cat.

Prepared as she was, expecting those around her to drink the poisoned wine and drop dead one after another, but such a scene didn’t materialize, fueling her anger.

To avoid becoming a suspect in Ye Fan’s eyes, she couldn’t afford even the slightest reckless action, posing merely as a well-behaved guest.

She understood that Ye Fan was extremely alert and sensitive at this moment; any abnormal behavior could lead to disastrous consequences for herself.

Hence, Qian Weiwei exercised ultimate caution.

"Ye Fan is indeed not a small threat," she acknowledged drily amidst berating Hunt Cat.

Hunt Cat’s kill move seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, not causing the slightest ripple, concerning her greatly.

All these facts underscored Ye Fan’s terrifying capabilities.

Launching a kill move against Ye Fan, given his preparations, was suicidal.
