My Perfect Female CEO

Niu Ben tried his best to maintain his last shred of dignity, but under Ye Fan’s mocking words, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Yes, what right do I have to seek others’ sympathy, or any pity that is beneficial to me?" Niu Ben laughed at himself and adjusted his position.

As a prisoner, there should be no extravagant hopes.

"If it weren’t for Li Tong wanting to talk to you, we wouldn’t even give you the time of day. Considering you still have some shame and regret, we can accommodate a few of your conditions, and I can make that decision," Ye Fan said without doubt.

His expression was cold, without the slightest politeness towards Niu Ben, confronting him with icy words.

The shame and regret Niu Ben displayed at this moment were mostly forced out by Li Tong’s reprimands and interrogation; otherwise, such emotions would not have surfaced.

Ask yourself, if Niu Ben was still safe, how could he possibly feel regret?

"Mr. Ye, Team Leader Ye, truly generous!" Niu Ben stared intently at Ye Fan, his gaze fierce. He understood that Ye Fan’s words must come with other conditions, so he asked, "I wonder, what price do I need to pay?"

"You’re a smart person; you should understand the current situation. I don’t need to say more; you should know the urgency of our circumstances," Ye Fan said coldly.

"Unfortunately, I have nothing to say!" Niu Ben’s expression shifted, adopting an indifferent demeanor.

"Are you forcing me to torture you for a confession?" Li Tong said angrily, her eyes showing a ruthless look.

She didn’t want to use force against Niu Ben, but if there was no other way, she wouldn’t hesitate to use any means.

Facing a crisis, towards a former comrade who is now an enemy, Li Tong maintained restraint.

But if Niu Ben was ungrateful, she was not one to be soft-hearted.

"Alas, forget it, forget it." Under Li Tong’s piercing gaze, Niu Ben compromised, sighing deeply: "Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you everything I know, but I just ask you to agree to two small requests."

"Acting on the nose, you still dare to make conditions?" Li Tong said displeased.

Ye Fan glanced at the agitated Li Tong, signaling her with his eyes to say no more, then looked at Niu Ben and said calmly: "You should understand your situation, making excessive conditions is akin to seeking death."

"I know my limits, and I won’t make excessive demands," Niu Ben said slowly: "Actually, my requests are simple: one, I only ask for a quick death, and two, don’t make public the fact that I’m a mole. I don’t want to become a pariah, hated by everyone, even after death, without a person at my grave. My life has been desolate enough, I don’t want to die without a funeral."

Niu Ben’s expression was sincere, his tone forlorn.

"Alas, if only you’d known earlier," Zhang Lu shook her head, sighing.

"You’re lucky to have some humanity left, your conscience not completely extinguished," Li Tong relaxed, speaking lightly.

"No problem, I agree to your two requests." Ye Fan said calmly, "You can now clear our doubts."

Niu Ben pondered for a moment, then organized his thoughts and spoke softly: "The one who brought me into the circle is a woman named Cheng Mu; she’s a crucial and ruthless figure among your enemies."

"Speaking of Cheng Mu, you probably know a little, but not deeply."

"Among the relics left behind by Liu Anping, there’s a clue about this woman named Cheng Mu."

"Later, I can sketch Cheng Mu’s portrait for your convenience in recognition."

"Regarding the enemy’s situation, the only person I’m familiar with is this woman named Cheng Mu; I haven’t had contact with anyone else."

"I have a code name, Field Mouse. The other members know each other’s code names but are unclear about specific identities and names, which is a measure for secrecy."

"If not necessary, all contacts are one-way."

"For confidentiality, the upper and lower lines rarely meet; if meeting can be avoided, it’s best, only meeting when unavoidable."

"You’ve met and dealt with my superior."

"She is the woman in the blue dress, Zhang Rui. You’ve already investigated and found out that Zhang Rui’s identity is fake. In fact, even I don’t know my superior’s identity or appearance."

"That’s because my superior has a bizarre code name, Transforming Mouse. Due to this, I’ve seen different versions of my superior in my limited meetings."

"Transforming Mouse, true to her name, shape-shifting and cunning as a legendary giant mouse."

"Aside from Cheng Mu and Transforming Mouse, the only person I’ve met and know well is Wu Dayong. Beyond this, I have no more information."

Niu Ben fell into thought, revealing everything he knew.

There was no need for concealment; from the moment of exposure, his fate was sealed.

Any hope and extravagant wish, they are futile.

Knowing his fate, he might as well walk the final path briskly without leaving regrets.

He had lived in darkness for too long.

Finally able to openly walk towards death, is not a bad choice.

The enemies the action team faced were deeply hidden, but from the current situation, the enemies Niu Ben knew, Ye Fan already had some understanding and grasp of.

Cheng Mu.

Wu Dayong.

Transforming Mouse.

These three names, and related identity information, through Niu Ben’s words, Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong gained a basic understanding.

"Cheng Mu and Transforming Mouse, who is the superior?" Ye Fan asked, discovering some unresolved questions from Niu Ben’s words.

"This, I really don’t know. I met Cheng Mu when I first entered the circle while still abroad, and since then I haven’t seen Cheng Mu again. I can’t guess the hierarchical relationship between Cheng Mu and Transforming Mouse, but there’s a phenomenon you need to pay special attention to: Transforming Mouse’s identity is particularly unique, being the only intermediary connecting everyone," Niu Ben stated truthfully.

"Do you have any knowledge of the exact number of adversary agents or the identity of the leader?" Ye Fan asked again.

"I don’t know, but I do know that all members infiltrating the target have a code name related to mice. As for the leader’s identity, I haven’t heard of them, very mysterious," Niu Ben thought while organizing his words.

"Are there any other accomplices inside the operation team?" Ye Fan inquired.

"There might be, I think?" Niu Ben said uncertainly.
