My Perfect Female CEO

Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Yang Shu sat quietly in the living room. The conflict between Xi Guxiu, Peng Bird, and others naturally couldn’t escape their eyes. The person responsible for monitoring Xi Guxiu immediately reported the situation.

Therefore, Zhang Lu and Yang Shu urgently sought out Ye Fan to have a discussion about the incident.

"According to the report from the observer, Peng Bird and others broke into Xi Guxiu’s house, forcing him to hand over the map fragment. When Peng Bird and his group were leaving, they encountered a robbery by the Black Cat Team. A series of conflicts followed, and after Yamamoto and Nishida arrived with reinforcements, the three forces engaged in a chaotic battle, and Peng Bird and his companions took the opportunity to escape."

Zhang Lu succinctly explained the details of what happened. This information had been gathered by those who had been monitoring Xi Guxiu all along. Given the magnitude of events, the observers could also identify the parties involved in the conflict.

"Is there such a thing?" Ye Fan listened to Zhang Lu’s words and displayed a meaningful expression. He said, "Boss Zuo and Peng Bird have finally taken action, coinciding with the Black Cat Team’s operation on the same night, an intriguing coincidence."

"There’s something that I find quite puzzling," Yang Shu said. "Did Peng Bird take the real map fragment?"

"What is your doubt? Please elaborate," Ye Fan was not in a hurry to make a judgment, feeling a slight curiosity about Yang Shu’s question.

"According to insider information, Xi Guxiu is not just a businessman but also a fierce executioner with formidable combat skills, comparable to the level of a big boss," Yang Shu said. "According to the observers monitoring Xi Guxiu, Peng Bird, Flower Snake, Hua Diao, and Mountain Ghost broke into Xi Guxiu’s room by smashing a window. After subduing Xi Guxiu, Yamamoto and Nishida also lost their ability to resist; they didn’t even have time to send out an alert. This situation is suspicious and raises doubts."

"It is indeed suspicious," Zhang Lu said. "The fact that Peng Bird and his group subdued Xi Guxiu, Yamamoto, and Nishida so easily, even though they had the element of surprise, feels too smooth. Considering Xi Guxiu’s strength is greater than any one of the Peng Bird group’s members, it’s too unbelievable that they all escaped unscathed from Xi Guxiu, Yamamoto, and Nishida’s onslaught, especially since Xi Guxiu also has an elite team under his command. It feels unreal that Peng Bird and the others grabbed the map fragment so effortlessly; it seems like there’s a conspiracy at play."

Arriving at such a judgment is based on having a thorough understanding of the enemy’s identity and strength.

The public knows Xi Guxiu as a businessman, but there’s a hidden secret—he’s a terrifying expert. Peng Bird and his group should have faced a lethal attack when they intruded.

However, not only did Peng Bird and his companions escape unscathed, but they also took the map fragment from Xi Guxiu, which is quite bizarre.

Why such recognition?

Because the insider mentioned by Zhang Lu and Yang Shu is the same person who previously leaked information about the treasure.

It is due to this insider’s information being leaked that the current situation arose, making the tensions among various forces intricate and complex.

If this insider hadn’t learned of the situation, Xi Guxiu would have already gained an advantage, acquiring the ancient painting from Qi Haomin, then merging the complete map and clandestinely taking the treasure, preventing many incidents from occurring.

Based on the accurate intelligence from the insider, a series of subsequent events unfolded, causing conflicts among various forces.

"Peng Bird’s successful robbery is riddled with questions. Your judgments are not wrong; the progress of events is too smooth, suggesting a conspiracy," Ye Fan said. "Whether it’s Peng Bird’s easy acquisition or Xi Guxiu’s reaction, there are issues. To understand the whole story, it seems we have to carefully consider everything."

"There’s another detail that raises my suspicions," Zhang Lu revealed with an enigmatic smile.

"What is it?" Ye Fan asked.

"After Xi Guxiu was successfully robbed by Peng Bird, logically, Xi Guxiu and his group should be up all night, trying every way to pursue their enemy. However, following the involvement of the Black Cat Team, there was no movement from Xi Guxiu’s side. Instead, they were resting contentedly with all the lights in the room turned off. This is a suspicious flaw," Zhang Lu said with a laugh.

"Oh, indeed, I overlooked this detail," Yang Shu admitted, looking at Zhang Lu. "Xi Guxiu losing the map fragment should have been a devastating blow, yet they rested peacefully without flying into a rage. This is too strange."

"Amidst these doubts, we can boldly make a judgment," Ye Fan calmly said. "Xi Guxiu—or the existence backing Xi Guxiu—staged a good show together for everyone. Knowing someone would target him, Xi Guxiu cunningly allowed the attack, letting the assailants take his map fragment. With this, the attention on Xi Guxiu shifts to the force that took action, thus diverting disaster, taking on the victim’s role, and disentangling himself from chaos, while other forces naturally shift their focus."

"There’s no issue with this line of judgment. Considering various doubts and reliable information, it’s not surprising Xi Guxiu would do such a thing," Zhang Lu earnestly said. "This explains why a force as strong as his, guarding something more precious than life, lost it so easily."

"In terms of strength, Peng Bird and his group are definitely no match for Xi Guxiu, Yamamoto, and Nishida. The unexpected outcome is quite interesting. Xi Guxiu’s acting is superb, always masking his capabilities; it seems we need to take this cunning adversary seriously," Yang Shu suggested.

"After obtaining the map fragment, we can have that insider verify the authenticity of the map. This will confirm our judgment," Ye Fan said casually.

"No problem, I’ll contact her then," Zhang Lu agreed.

"Logically, Boss Zuo and Peng Bird should send the map fragment as promised. Let’s wait and see," Yang Shu said with a grin. "I believe Boss Zuo and Peng Bird won’t break their word."

Just then, Ye Fan’s phone rang.
