My Perfect Female CEO

Ye Fan personally expressed his gratitude, which made the likes of Boss Zuo and Peng Bird overjoyed, recovering from the frustration brought by the fake map fragments. No words could have moved them more.

"With Mr. Ye’s words, everything is worth it. Fighting side by side with Mr. Ye is our honor," Boss Zuo said passionately.

All their efforts and sacrifices have been for this promise, haven’t they?

"Xigu Xiu is deeply hidden and is himself a terrifyingly strong opponent," Ye Fan explained, looking at the four, including Peng Bird. "Fortunately, Xigu Xiu has his own schemes, wanting to shift hostility onto you. That’s why you managed to get the map fragments. Otherwise, without this plot, you wouldn’t have walked away alive from Xigu Xiu."

"I never thought Xigu Xiu could be so insidious," Peng Bird said with lingering fear.

According to Ye Fan, Xigu Xiu’s strength is a tier above theirs. Thankfully, they fell into Xigu Xiu’s trap. Had he decided to slaughter them, they would be doomed.

At that time, if Xigu Xiu had retaliated amidst the siege by Yamamoto and Nishida, the four of them would be dead.

Even George and the others responsible for support might not have evaded the calamity?

While Peng Bird and others were thankful for falling into Xigu Xiu’s scheme, they couldn’t help but sweat secretly. But now, the situation isn’t much better; they’ve become targets for various forces, and it’s a certain death trap.

Whoever holds the map fragments will be targeted by multiple powers, becoming the focus of their interest and attacks.

How could Peng Bird and Boss Zuo not know this hot potato?

"So, Mr. Ye, what should we do next? We await your guidance?" Boss Zuo inquired.

"Stay here comfortably; when the enemies come, we’ll slay them together. This is a win-win situation," Ye Fan said. "You are alluring bait now; surely, someone will come. By then, killing these hidden enemies is what we must do."

"We’ll follow Mr. Ye’s orders without hesitation," Boss Zuo assured.

"By the way, someone has been following us on the road here; it seems we’ve been exposed and becoming a target is inevitable," Peng Bird added.

"That’s the best scenario; it saves us the trouble of deliberately revealing our movements," Ye Fan nodded affirmatively. "It seems the enemies are not only deeply hidden but also have endless tactics."

Peng Bird and Boss Zuo privately rejoiced; fortunately, they had established cooperation with Mr. Ye early on. Otherwise, the consequences would be truly disastrous. Imagining the disaster Xigu Xiu tried to shift onto them would have been catastrophic.

"There’s another situation. Does Mr. Ye happen to know?" Peng Bird didn’t hesitate to say. "According to Xigu Xiu’s revelation, he has someone directing him from behind the scenes. I wonder if it’s true?"

"That information is accurate. We’ve already crushed a power of that person behind the scenes," Ye Fan thought briefly, then said. "The information Xigu Xiu gave you is intentionally withheld. This is why you obtained a fake map fragment. If my guess is correct, Xigu Xiu should have a real map fragment."

While Ye Fan and Boss Zuo were talking, Zhang Lu found a secluded corner alone to contact the insider who provided treasure information.

The insider has already withdrawn; revealing such critical information naturally comes with exposure risks.

For safety, the insider had to retreat. Obtaining such important intelligence made all sacrifices worthwhile.

"I’m really sorry to disturb you so late." After the ringtone sounded for quite some time, a woman appeared in the video, lying in bed showing laziness and sleepiness.

"What’s up? Speak." The woman said slowly.

"I’ve obtained a map fragment and would like you to verify if it’s real?" Zhang Lu asked. "According to our speculation, it’s fake, but we want you to confirm it."

While speaking, Zhang Lu handed the map fragment for the woman to see.

"It’s fake, your speculation is correct." The woman yawned. "I’ve seen the real map fragment. The one you hold, in terms of meaning and scenery, doesn’t match what’s recorded on the real map fragment."

"So that’s the case. I won’t disturb you further; rest well." Zhang Lu said, ready to end the video.

"Hey, don’t rush to hang up. You’ve disrupted my slight sleepiness; now it’s tough for me to fall asleep." The woman complained, then showed a mischievous look. "I heard Mr. Ye is with you on this mission; is it true?"

"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded, then asked, "Why? What do you mean? And how do you know?"

"Don’t mind how I found out; just a bit of inquiry and it’s known—it’s no secret." The woman declared openly. "I wish to meet this Underworld legend and myth. Make an appointment, will you?"

"We’ll see; there’s still a lot happening. After this matter, we’ll talk again," Zhang Lu replied.

"It’s happily decided then; goodbye." After saying this, the woman promptly ended the video.

After receiving the confirmation, Zhang Lu faced Ye Fan and said, "As we expected, the map fragment is fake; there’s no doubt."

"That’s the best outcome, then we’ll calmly wait for the enemies to come," Ye Fan said. "According to my estimate, enemies will scout our situation, and by the latest tomorrow night, launch a lightning attack."

"We’ve set this trap; just waiting for the enemies to take the bait." Zhang Lu said with a smile. "I’m rather looking forward to seeing what kind of lineup the enemies will use this time."

"We’ve prepared everything; nobody will see this coming," Yang Shu said with a smile. "This time, we’ll definitely heavily wound the invading enemies."

"Whatever we need to do, Mr. Ye, don’t hesitate to instruct us," Boss Zuo and Peng Bird cooperated tremendously.

Their intention is whether to make open appearances to lure enemies?

Though the risk is significant, everything is worthwhile.

"No need for particular actions. Just stay relaxed; since someone is monitoring you, the enemies will surely come to you," Ye Fan said.

Everything is ready; just waiting for the enemies to plan out and make their move.
