My Perfect Female CEO

Cheng Mu established contact with the Hunting Cat.

Cheng Mu and the Transforming Mouse, as the left and right arms of the Hunting Cat, demonstrated extraordinary power and effect.

Under their command are extremely reliable subordinates, holding confidential lists. Naturally, the people on these lists are important members controlled by various means, such as Zhao Gongming and the like.

"Cheng Mu, what’s the matter?" The Hunting Cat’s voice, magnetic and calm, resonated with a subtle authority.

"Zhao Gongming has accomplished the task. Should we take the key into our hands, or do you have other arrangements? Please advise," Cheng Mu inquired.

"Let me think about it." The Hunting Cat pondered. Zhao Gongming successfully acquiring the key was not surprising at all; it was deemed a matter of course.

After all, he had managed many years, and failing such a small task would indeed be strange.

Moreover, with Cheng Mu personally taking action and using such an essential pawn, failing to achieve the objective would be even more abnormal.

However, the formidable foe they faced was Ye Fan. The Hunting Cat was well aware of Ye Fan’s fame, which made him especially cautious and prudent.

"Operating under the watchful eyes of the venerable Terminator requires utmost care; any negligence could lead to grave losses. The hard-earned channels must not be compromised," the Hunting Cat expressed apprehension towards Ye Fan, speaking earnestly.

"The Terminator is indeed formidable, but we have our strengths as well. The comprehensive network around the research institute is tightly woven, and breaking it would be a challenge, not just for one Ye Fan, but even for ten Ye Fans," Cheng Mu was indifferent.

Saying this, she naturally possessed ample confidence and assurance.

The network enveloping the research institute had taken shape, reaching a peak level, and was beyond the imagination of others.

If it were single combat, Cheng Mu recognized that she was no match for Ye Fan.

But the current situation was not one of single combat; it was a covert confrontation and contest.

In such an arrangement, individual strength played a minor role; it depended on whose wisdom was superior and whose tactics were more skillful.

"Never underestimate the enemy. Though the web is intact, it is not invulnerable. A breach, no matter how small, could result in unimaginable losses," the Hunting Cat cautioned cautiously, "We cannot afford to take these losses, so we must be even more careful."

"I understand." Cheng Mu grasped the Hunting Cat’s message, yet deep down, she was not too concerned.

She thought to herself, "No matter how formidable Ye Fan is, when faced with a group of mice lurking underground, his abilities have no chance to shine, rendering him idle."

Cheng Mu likening her group to mice was most appropriate.

After all, the core members all had code names based on rodents.

Among them, the Hunting Cat was the leader.

It was apparent the reputation of this leader, taking a cat as a name, was indeed the nemesis of the mice.

The Hunting Cat recognized Cheng Mu’s indifference and did not emphasize it repeatedly; he understood that stressing it too much could backfire.

"We already have two keys. In principle, we should deliver these keys to the research institute, merge them with the third, and acquire the terminal data and information from the institute. This is our ultimate goal, a necessity," the Hunting Cat spoke unhurriedly, "However, this time I intend to act contrary, first taking the key from Zhao Gongming and then deciding on the theft of the research institute’s achievements based on the situation."

"This approach seems overly troublesome. In my opinion, there is no need for such caution. Directly acquiring the terminal data from the institute should be feasible. Instead of testing, it’s better to take a risk," Cheng Mu expressed independently, "Sacrificing a few pawns to take risks and complete the mission is paramount."

"You are too arrogant, which is not the conduct of wise people." The Hunting Cat said patiently, "Currently, the research institute is more fortified than ever before, and Ye Fan’s reputation forbids us from being complacent, as the consequences are unusually severe."

Both the Hunting Cat and Cheng Mu were aware that under Ye Fan’s rigorous restructuring, the research institute’s security had escalated more than one level. The chances of exposure while operating in the heavily guarded institute were high, reducing success probability.

The cost of sacrificing a few pawns to achieve the ultimate goal was justifiable.

However, with such high risk factors, rash actions could prove costly.

Aiming for nothing and naively exposing oneself was an act of sheer foolishness.

Cheng Mu continued to feel that the Hunting Cat was inflating the enemy’s spirit while undermining his own but dared not question the Hunting Cat’s orders.

"I’ll handle everything according to your instructions, and you can rest assured," Cheng Mu promised confidently.

She was full of confidence, completely unbothered by Ye Fan.

"The reason I act this way, besides, is to test if Ye Fan has any hidden aces. If this is a trap, blindly walking into it would be foolish." The Hunting Cat painstakingly explained his intentions to Cheng Mu to make her alert.

"A trap?" Cheng Mu was immediately wary, responding incredulously, "Could it be?"

"Better safe than sorry; being cautious is never a mistake," the Hunting Cat advised, "I have a premonition that this matter is not as simple as it appears; something is bound to happen. Therefore, when meeting Zhao Gongming, be particularly cautious."

"Aren’t you overthinking? I trust my judgment. Zhao Gongming is unlikely to be exposed; Ye Fan and others are still in the dark. How could they be wary, let alone set a trap?" Cheng Mu displayed a disdainful smile.

"Trust me. If there is no trap, all the better; consider it a straightforward probe, making further plans based on the results," the Hunting Cat said, his expression heavy, "If Ye Fan’s reputation is merely an empty shell, so much the better. We can then seize the research results with great force. If there is indeed a trap, we can proceed gradually and make further plans."

"Okay, I understand." Cheng Mu agreed solemnly.

After liaising over strategies, the Hunting Cat and Cheng Mu ended the call.

Actually, not long ago, the Hunting Cat, Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong had a brief encounter, though no conversation took place.

This demonstrated that the dangerous enemy, the Hunting Cat, was right by Ye Fan and the others.

This revealed how deeply hidden the Hunting Cat was.

This showed the cunning and deceitfulness of the Hunting Cat.
