My Perfect Female CEO

Qiu Wen’s information came at just the right time; just as Ye Fan and the others were gearing up to capture Wu Dayong, this mole was finally unearthed.

The enemy baiting strategy was a complete success; there was never a real plan to capture Wu Dayong.

Everything was a trap.

The ultimate goal was to root out the spy lurking within the action group.

However, when Li Tong and Zhang Lu found out the identity of the mole, they collectively fell silent.

Despite being somewhat mentally prepared, the ironclad truth laid out before them was too brutal to accept.

"How could it be him?"

"He’s one of the veterans of the action group!"

"In the whole action group, he’s among the top elites."

"We’ve fought side by side, through so many tests and hardships. How could he turn out to be a traitor?"

"Betraying the organization, colluding with the enemy, I really can’t imagine that the eyes of the action group, a comrade in the eyes of colleagues, could have such a hidden side."

Li Tong’s expression was grave, her tone desolate. The truth before her was beyond her capacity to accept.

Before Ye Fan, she was the leader of the action group and was very familiar with all her colleagues, having gone through so many challenges together.

Honestly, she couldn’t bear the result if any member of the action group had issues, but for the safety of the institute, sacrifices had to be made.

When Ye Fan suspected there was a mole in the action group, Li Tong still held a sliver of hope, wishing this suspicion to be wrong, and that all her colleagues were above reproach.

They were still her close companions and not shameless traitors selling out their own.

Now, all fantasies have been shattered.

There’s no room left for any wishful thinking.

"When there was a problem in the action group, you should have been mentally prepared. No matter who was at fault, given your feelings for your comrades, it’s only natural to have difficulty accepting it initially. You don’t have to accept this brutal fact, but this mole must be eliminated." Zhang Lu’s face showed anger, and she spoke through gritted teeth.

She had to make Li Tong recognize reality and recover from the emotional turmoil of discovering a comrade as a mole.

More daunting challenges lay ahead, leaving no time for Li Tong to be distracted by the matter of the mole.

"Don’t worry about me; I know what to do." Li Tong said with a determined expression and decisive tone.

Despite the enormous impact the mole’s revelation had on her, for the greater tasks that lay ahead, she understood the importance of priorities.

Suffice it to say that the mole’s identity has become clear.

The eyes of the action group, who else but Niu Ben?

Li Tong looked out the window, while Zhang Lu glanced at Ye Fan and said, "Let’s head back. After unmasking the mole, we have even more perilous issues to tackle."

With Ye Fan’s command, the three vehicles of the action group turned around and headed back to the group.

The other members of the action group didn’t really know what was going on or why the operation to capture Wu Dayong was paused, but they didn’t ask much, strictly following Ye Fan’s orders.

"After we return, we’ll secretly capture Niu Ben and decide what to do after interrogation. I hope we can extract some useful information from him." Ye Fan spoke calmly.

Regarding Li Tong’s emotions, Ye Fan did not attend to them.

Li Tong must come to terms with reality on her own; he won’t offer comfort.

Besides, given Li Tong’s resilience, she doesn’t need others to enlighten her; she’ll come to her senses on her own.

"I hope Niu Ben is wise enough not to do anything foolish." Zhang Lu whispered.

Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong returned to the action group.

In the office, the three displayed varying expressions as they were about to interrogate Niu Ben, and naturally, each had different reactions.

Niu Ben entered the office with a calm demeanor, having been told that the leader was looking for him. Niu Ben came without any suspicion.

He didn’t think much of it, nor did he panic and assume he had been exposed; he believed it was impossible for him to be compromised.

"Group leader..." Niu Ben began to greet Ye Fan and the others. But upon seeing the look in Li Tong’s eyes, he became puzzled and instinctively stared at Li Tong, asking, "Deputy leader, what’s wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Still so calm? At this point, not panicking at all, impressive, really impressive. No wonder you’ve been able to hide under our noses for so long." Li Tong spoke in a chilling tone, gritting her teeth.

She was unrestrained, speaking sarcastically with a sharp tone.

A barely detectable cold glint appeared in Niu Ben’s usually calm eyes. He immediately adjusted his emotions, speaking blandly: "Deputy leader, what do you mean? I don’t understand."

In truth, a trace of panic and unease was beginning to surface within him, but he couldn’t show it.

Regardless of Li Tong’s intent or purpose in saying these words,

at least for now, he must maintain an indifferent appearance and not let anyone see any weakness.

"What do I mean? You don’t understand?" Li Tong sneered: "Of course you know what I mean, you naturally understand my intent. Even now, you manage to act as if nothing happened. I must say, I really admire your psychological resilience, it’s indeed not to be underestimated."

Ye Fan and Zhang Lu stayed silent, leaving everything to Li Tong.

Li Tong’s discontent and resentment towards Niu Ben were evident, and Ye Fan and Zhang Lu understood that Li Tong was venting her inner anger in a disguised manner.

So, they weren’t in a hurry to expose Niu Ben’s facade but wanted to slowly tear off the mask of falsehood from him.

Li Tong wanted to see just how extraordinary Niu Ben’s surface disguise was through such an approach.

Ye Fan and Zhang Lu intentionally supported Li Tong’s wishes, remaining quite composed.

Faced with the relentless pressure and the penetrating gaze of Li Tong, Niu Ben’s heart sank.

Even his facial expression began to show signs of panic.

"I haven’t slipped up, they must be bluffing. I can’t let myself panic and make a mistake; I must act as if nothing is wrong." Niu Ben quickly calmed his mind.

He was confident that he had hidden well, without any leaks, so he believed he was still safe.

Li Tong’s words struck at his core, but he could only take her questioning as a bluff.

Li Tong and the others suspected a mole in the action group, hence they questioned him first, trying to extract a mistake that would cause real trouble.

With this mindset, Niu Ben’s heart returned to a state of calm.

"Deputy leader, what exactly are you trying to say? I’m becoming more confused." Niu Ben said righteously.

"Pfft," Li Tong immediately let out a mocking laugh.
