My Perfect Female CEO

Inside the teahouse, watching Ye Fan and others leave were two women, one was Nagano Yoko, the other was Namie.

The two women were the hidden force, with Nishida as the visible force. More often, the two women had decision-making power, while Nishida only had the authority to act, serving as Nishida’s commander to some extent, always operating in the shadows.

For the ancient painting at the auction, they were determined to win, naturally making thorough preparations, with a resolve to fight to the death.

Namie and Nagano Yoko remained hidden in the shadows, never appearing publicly, even communicating with Nishida only through phone calls.

Even Nishida didn’t know the names and identities of the two women, only having heard their voices.

Therefore, they were deeply hidden, making it impossible for other people or forces to know about them.

"I wonder what purpose Ye Fan has in seeking out Nishida?" Nagano Yoko spoke with confusion.

Regarding Ye Fan, Namie gritted her teeth in anger, speaking coldly: "If Ye Fan didn’t intervene, and Chu Group didn’t interfere, our mission would be twice as effective with half the effort. Now, the potential for sudden changes is immense. Whether it’s covert snatching or monetary bidding, we’re facing formidable enemies. Who knows what the final outcome will be?"

"Indeed, more unexpected changes mean increased danger." Nagano Yoko sighed.

"Ye Fan definitely wouldn’t waste his time visiting Nishida without a hidden agenda, either trying to destabilize Nishida or with other secret plans. We are in the dark about it." Namie expressed helplessly.

"Nishida is facing such a major incident and will surely take the initiative to contact us. Let’s remain calm and wait for Nishida’s report before discussing Ye Fan’s motives." Nagano Yoko spoke: "The urgent task is to infiltrate the auction as much as possible, find the location of the ancient painting, and then find a way to steal it."

"The infiltration of the auction has been ongoing and has never slackened." Namie boasted: "The composition of auction personnel is complex and can’t be a monolithic entity. As long as we find the right direction, we will definitely determine the whereabouts of the ancient painting. If we silently steal the ancient painting, everything will be a success, and by then, the turmoil within and outside Jin City will naturally subside."

Regarding the map fragments of the treasure, Nishida has one piece, and Nagano Yoko has another.

For Nagano Yoko and the others, the ancient painting at the auction is crucial, naturally making auction infiltration a work of utmost importance. No matter how far it can be taken, acquiring the ancient painting is the ultimate goal.

Before acquiring this ancient painting, Nishida’s side is under immense pressure, coveted by many forces.

For other forces, Nishida and the auction are targets for action.

If the auction’s ancient painting is obtained, the pressure will be even greater.

No matter the pressure, as long as the auction’s ancient painting is obtained, Nagano Yoko is confident of ensuring the painting’s safety.

Seeing Namie’s expression, Nagano Yoko knew that the infiltration was yielding results, and couldn’t help but smile, saying: "It seems that we’ve already found a target to strike—good news will come soon."

"Indeed!" Namie disdainfully said: "That guy named Ji Jie is a spineless and money-hungry person, easily swayed. Just pay the right price to buy the intelligence we need."

"You’re an expert in reading people, so I’m at ease letting you execute this task." Nagano Yoko said.

"The auction’s security force is not weak, it’s hard to confront directly. Just find the breakthrough point, then it’s easier to act." Namie asserted confidently: "Once the ancient painting’s location is confirmed, a swift strike will ensure success."

"We’ve spent a great deal for the moment of victory and can’t afford failure." Nagano Yoko spoke solemnly.

"Even we, the hidden agents, are involved, ensuring swift success." Namie said resolutely.

...

At this moment, Nishida’s face was unsightly, feeling a bit timid.

In front of Ye Fan, he could still put on a facade, not wanting to lose his reputation and face, dismissing Ye Fan as insignificant. He had this mindset because the bodyguards around him gave him enough sense of security.

However, Asai’s death made him sense danger.

If careless, Asai’s fate would be his, so there’s every reason to be worried.

Even with strong bodyguard forces, worry is unavoidable.

Yamamoto and Nishida were filled with righteous indignation; Asai’s death shocked them greatly.

"Who would’ve thought Asai and others could be so easily demolished, employing thirty high-caliber forces that comprised one-third of our total strength." Nishida had every reason to be moved.

Beside Nishida were Asai, Yamamoto, and Nishida, each commanding thirty strong individuals.

Now with Asai dead, it cast enormous gloom over Yamamoto and Nishida.

"Even if Asai and others are dead, they must have inflicted some damage on the enemy. I firmly believe that Asai’s downfall means Ye Fan used potent forces, though such powerful forces are not easily mobilized and entail significant losses." Yamamoto trusted Asai’s strength, hence he believed Asai inflicted heavy damage on Ye Fan and his followers.

If he knew that Ye Fan with just a few individuals annihilated Asai and others without suffering any personnel losses, he would probably go mad.

What further made Nishida and others feel powerless was that Asai didn’t even send back any message, indicating a high possibility of Asai being ambushed with despicable tactics, leading to his downfall.

In any case, the dead cannot come to life, an unavoidable outcome.

"There’s no need to dwell on Asai’s matter. Let’s proceed as planned." Nishida sighed.

Yamamoto argued discontentedly: "Ye Fan and Qiu Wen came alone, essentially infiltrating our nest. If we act, we can surely annihilate them, avenging Asai’s death. However, missing this opportunity is truly regrettable."

"Losing this chance is indeed regrettable," Nishida said unwillingly.

"Whether we can kill Ye Fan or not, nobody knows if Ye Fan has reinforcements," Nishida said seriously: "We must comply with one premise: Our safety hasn’t been compromised due to Huaxia forces’ concerns. The repercussions of attacking us are too adverse, worse than killing us, affecting innocent parties and causing a sensation, a result many don’t wish to see."
