My Perfect Female CEO

Wu Dayong and Zhao Gongming were in the midst of a conversation.

Cheng Mu watched the scene, sneering coldly, "Zhao Gongming is still dreaming, deluding himself that he can stay uninvolved. People like him clearly don’t recognize reality; he won’t wake from his dream until someone mercilessly slaps him across the face."

In front of Zhao Gongming, Cheng Mu always appeared calm and composed, maintaining a peaceful demeanor.

Even on the phone, she had a gentle and amicable tone. No matter what Zhao Gongming said, she maintained a friendly demeanor without any aggressive behavior.

But beneath this facade of kindness, there lurked a hardened, ruthless heart.

It’s fine for someone like Zhao Gongming to grumble a bit.

But if he tries anything uncontrollable, Cheng Mu will immediately turn into an executioner, using iron-fisted, ruthless methods to eliminate any issues that arise; it is only natural.

This is Cheng Mu, merciless and decisive at heart, yet courteous and polite on the surface.

"Thanks to Wu Dayong’s words, I believe Zhao Gongming will accept that he’s under control, leaving no room for any resistance," Yang Chu said meaningfully.

"Naturally, given Zhao Gongming’s timidity and cowardice, compromise is inevitable. I can’t say things too conclusively, but once Wu Dayong tears through the harsh reality, he will quickly change and accept that he’s at my disposal," Cheng Mu said, smugly.

"This is why I hold Zhao Gongming in such high regard. It’s by finding his weaknesses in character and gradually infiltrating until achieving control."

It sounds simple, but in practice, it requires painstaking effort.

Getting Zhao Gongming to sink step by step to this point is quite a challenge.

That Cheng Mu could tackle this problem speaks to her formidable means, one that cannot be underestimated.

"Zhao Gongming is like a faithful dog; occasionally toss him a bone, and he’ll betray anyone, doing anything against his moral principles," Yang Chu smirked coldly.

......

Ye Fan was engrossed in thought. Presently, two options lay before him—first, to strike now and capture Wu Dayong and Zhao Gongming, yet losing the chance to trace the clues. The benefit here is capturing both men can provide immense convenience and sufficient intel.

Secondly, permit Wu Dayong to leave and then track him. This too is highly risky, as Wu Dayong’s tactical prowess is notable, making it unlikely that he wouldn’t notice surveillance. Once Wu Dayong becomes alert, capturing him becomes difficult.

Given these circumstances, Ye Fan weighed the pros and cons.

Capturing Zhao Gongming and Wu Dayong has its advantages and disadvantages.

Swift action yields limited results, and the mastermind behind the scenes will surely become cautious.

Yet, tracing the clues poses high risks, potentially causing more harm than good.

"Wu Dayong and Zhao Gongming must be captured; the looming net over the research center and action group is vast. To gain insight and break it apart is unfeasible. What must be done now is to seize a point, causing loss, thereby weakening the entire net’s energy, which is the current priority."

After contemplating for a while, Ye Fan made this decision.

This is the safest approach and the one capable of achieving the most significant results.

After capturing both, prying open Zhao Gongming’s mouth will pose no problem.

Wu Dayong is not without weaknesses, overcoming him isn’t hard either.

Based on this understanding, it’s wise to capture both.

To prevent unforeseen incidents or unexpected events.

One must realize, Ye Fan and the others know too little about the enemy’s situation. It’s crucial now to have someone like Wu Dayong, an enemy core member, provide essential intelligence.

......

During Wu Dayong and Zhao Gongming’s brief conversation, Cheng Mu and Yang Chu mocked Zhao Gongming’s ignorance.

At this moment, Ye Fan was agonizing over what decision to make.

"Yang Shu, Qian Weiguo, block Wu Dayong’s exit." As Wu Dayong rose to leave, Ye Fan issued this command.

"Understood." A confident voice from Yang Shu and Qian Weiguo came through the earpiece.

"Zhang Lu, Li Tong, you’re responsible for Wu Dayong’s escape route." Ye Fan commanded again.

"Yes!" Zhang Lu and Li Tong answered decisively.

"Qiu Wen, Shen Yaqing, don’t act rashly or reveal any flaws. Continue lying in wait to avoid being discovered by any enemy lookouts. If you have suspects, you may choose to follow them." Ye Fan sent out the final order.

Qiu Wen and others, lying in wait at the supermarket passage exit, followed Ye Fan’s instructions meticulously, without the slightest disobedience.

"What’s that?" Cheng Mu stared at the video, eyes suddenly widening as she incredulously screamed, "Zhang Lu and Li Tong? How are they here?"

Her body trembled slightly; an answer that she reluctantly acknowledged as true, lay before her.

"This bad, it’s a trap." Yang Chu, whose face had been expressionless, suddenly turned stormy with shock, "How did this happen? It doesn’t make sense. The research center hasn’t sent any messages, and the action group hasn’t sent anything either. According to our intel, the enemy hasn’t taken any action. What’s really going on?"

Cheng Mu and Yang Chu recognized the figures of Zhang Lu and Li Tong.

For a moment, they couldn’t remain calm, and instantaneously, their composure unraveled.

Those lying in wait at the research center and action group didn’t send alert messages. The sudden change caught them off guard.

"Building the plank road openly while sneaking across the river in secret, Ye Fan played a trick on us with this stratagem of concealment," Cheng Mu seethed, displaying evident resentment.

"What should be done now? Wu Dayong, save him or not?" Yang Chu hurriedly asked.

"Exposing ourselves now is akin to using a meat bun to hit a dog; it never returns," Cheng Mu said furiously, "It’s not that we don’t want to save him, but we are simply powerless."

"Are we really just to watch as Wu Dayong gets captured? Losing Wu Dayong is losing an arm; how could I then be so adept in action?" Yang Chu expressed unwillingness.

"I’m even more reluctant. Whether it’s Wu Dayong or Zhao Gongming, both are irreplaceable, crucial pieces. Losing any one of them is unacceptable, let alone two."

Cheng Mu stifled her burning rage, speaking bitterly, "With just us two, if we rush out, we’d surely be captured. Do you believe it? Things have come to this, haven’t you realized?"

"Oh!" Yang Chu sighed dejectedly, his face clouded.
