My Perfect Female CEO

"Mr. Ye." Ye Fan answered the phone, and Left Boss’s voice, filled with excitement, came through.

"Hmm, I’m aware of what you’ve done." Ye Fan said calmly.

"Nothing escapes Mr. Ye’s eyes." Left Boss said politely, "Now, this map fragment is a hot potato, and we’ve become everyone’s target. I want to hand over the map fragment to Mr. Ye as soon as possible, so we can fight together against the upcoming enemies. Mr. Ye, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Very well, hold on a moment." As Ye Fan spoke, he explained everything to Zhang Lu, then informed Left Boss of the hiding place Zhang Lu had suggested.

"Alright then, Mr. Ye, we’ll see you later." After receiving a positive response, Left Boss happily hung up the phone.

Zhang Lu whispered, "The map fragment in Left Boss’s hands is definitely fake. For safety’s sake, it’s still necessary to verify it. Once we have the map fragment, we can decide what to do."

"This plot by West Gu Xiu may seem flawless to others, but to us it’s full of loopholes." Yang Shu said with a smile, "We understand West Gu Xiu’s situation; the other forces don’t know about this information."

"Even if it’s a fake map fragment, in our hands, we can make good use of it." Ye Fan said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Both Yang Shu and Zhang Lu showed a look of inquiry.

"The hidden enemy doesn’t know this map fragment is fake, so this is the time to exploit that knowledge." Ye Fan said with a smile, "If Left Boss and his people are being watched, all the better. Even if they’re not, Left Boss’s movements will be known to the hidden enemy. Using Left Boss and his group as bait, we can draw out the hidden enemy."

"This plan is brilliant, using the fake map fragment as bait to really hit the hidden enemies’ pride." Zhang Lu said.

"If the ancient painting’s safety isn’t a problem at the auction, we can set a big trap." Ye Fan said, "Given Left Boss and Peng Bird’s strength, if the enemy makes a move, they’ll definitely mobilize a large force, not just a small team. So the problem becomes much simpler. Once the enemy takes the bait, we can teach the exposed enemy a harsh lesson."

"The ancient painting’s safety isn’t an issue; even if the auction’s security becomes merely ornamental, no one will find the painting." Zhang Lu said confidently, "I’m the only one who knows the location of the ancient painting, no one else can know. The location of the disguised painting is known to very few, so even if the auction becomes a shell, no one will find the painting. We can definitely spare the manpower to fiercely strike the emerging enemy."

"Have Shen Tingting, Qian Weiguo, Zhang Kui, and Gao Qiang meet up with us." Ye Fan said, "Combining our group’s strength with Left Boss and Peng Bird’s power, no matter how strong the attacking enemy array is, they won’t be able to prevail."

"I’ll arrange it right away." Zhang Lu said loudly.

An hour later, Shen Tingting, Zhang Kui, Qian Weiguo, and Gao Qiang arrived at the new residence before Ye Fan and the others.

After meeting with Ye Fan and the others, the four settled in calmly, not making much of an appearance.

Another quarter of an hour later, Left Boss and Peng Bird arrived and met with Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Yang Shu.

"Mr. Ye, hello." Whether it was Left Boss or Peng Bird, or the experts by their side, they all acted respectfully. Knowing Ye Fan’s identity, they naturally didn’t dare put on airs, and their usual arrogance was gone.

"Everyone, settle down here for now. If there’s any trouble, we’ll handle it together." Ye Fan said courteously.

"Then we won’t stand on ceremony." Left Boss and the others couldn’t help but still feel a bit restrained.

"Don’t be too reserved or feel pressured. We might be fighting side by side soon, so just be at ease." Zhang Lu interjected.

"Have we met somewhere before? You look very familiar." Peng Bird asked, looking at Zhang Lu and Yang Shu.

Isn’t it familiar?

When Ye Fan and Zhang Lu impersonated the identity of Peng Bird, they had indeed interacted with Peng Bird.

Even though they were disguised then, Peng Bird’s keen eyes could still sense the familiar feel of someone he’d met before.

"Have we met? We don’t remember. Maybe we have." Zhang Lu gave a non-committal response, offering no explanation.

"Maybe I was mistaken." Peng Bird couldn’t recall, so he didn’t pursue the matter any further.

Left Boss took out the map fragment from his pocket and handed it to Ye Fan, saying solemnly, "This time we were really lucky to get this map fragment from West Gu Xiu’s hands. I hope it helps Mr. Ye."

"It will certainly be of help, but I’m going to have to dampen your spirits a bit." Ye Fan said casually, "Based on our judgment, the map fragment you acquired is fake. West Gu Xiu deliberately let you take it to draw other forces against you, allowing him to slip away from their watchful eyes."

"What? It’s fake?"

Left Boss’s face fell.

Peng Bird’s expression also turned grim.

George and Mountain Ghost couldn’t help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

There was no doubt in Ye Fan’s words; they naturally believed him and wouldn’t suspect Ye Fan of resorting to such trifles.

However, realizing the map fragment was fake left Left Boss and Peng Bird feeling uneasy.

In that case, how could they expect Mr. Ye to owe them a favor?

If this purpose couldn’t be achieved, wouldn’t it mean missing the chance to build a rapport with Mr. Ye?

Missing such an opportunity meant there wouldn’t be another, you’d never encounter it again.

Ye Fan held the map fragment in his hand, gave it a brief look, but didn’t inspect it closely.

"Is it really fake? How could it be fake?" Peng Bird questioned.

"Mr. Ye, please don’t take offense; we’re not doubting your words, just trying to understand." Left Boss hastily said, giving Peng Bird a warning glance.

"Mr. Ye, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not doubting you, I just don’t understand," Peng Bird said eagerly.

"There’s no need to be nervous, just remain natural. Even though the map fragment is fake, it still holds significant value." Ye Fan reassured them, "Next, we’re going to fight side by side. I’ve noted the favor you’ve done; if I can help in the future, I’ll certainly do so and won’t decline providing assistance."
