My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1087: Cutting the Gordian Knot

The news of the deaths of Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God spread quickly.

Song Residence.

Song Muchen hurriedly broke the news of the deaths of Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God.

"What?" Song Tianba was shocked and turned pale when he first heard the news, exclaiming, "Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God had so many strong people around them, yet they still ended up dead at Ye Fan’s hands. This Ye Fan is something else."

"Indeed," Song Muchen said bitterly. "According to the intelligence received, Ye Fan and Qiu Wen swept through like an unstoppable force, taking down the bodyguards as if they were nothing. In the end, both the Gambling God and Guo Fengxian died in vain."

"What should we do now?" Song Tianba asked anxiously. "We’re at a critical point of threatening the Tang Family. With Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God dead, the forces on both sides are bound to be in chaos and unable to focus on suppressing the Tang Family."

"Big brother, it seems we must turn to the Thirteenth Elder for decisions. If the Thirteenth Elder has no strategy, then all our efforts will have been for nothing. With heavy losses and the enmity of the Tang Family, plus the fearsome Ye Fan, the Song Family is in real danger." Song Muchen was worried.

"Yes, it depends on the Thirteenth Elder now. If the Thirteenth Elder wants to keep a steady approach without taking risks, then it’s the Song Family that will be sacrificed in the end." Song Tianba was fully aware of how dire the situation was.

"Whether the current situation can be salvaged is hard to say. It depends on how much effort the Thirteenth Elder is willing to put in. If he abandons the Song Family, we’re truly finished." Song Muchen felt like he was on pins and needles.

"I just don’t understand why the Thirteenth Elder fears Ye Fan. If he had acted decisively, there wouldn’t have been this mess," Song Tianba said, puzzled.

......

"These two fools, causing more harm than good and ruining my plans." The Thirteenth Elder was furious upon hearing the news.

Given the circumstances, there was nothing he could do but accept the reality.

"I warned them multiple times to stay low and not expose themselves. I didn’t expect the Tang Family to find their hiding spot. Now they’re dead," the Thirteenth Elder said angrily. "Even if they died a hundred times over, I wouldn’t blink an eye, but dying at such a bad time, ruining my plans—it was a death worth less than nothing."

"Elder, Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God acted recklessly, allowing the Tang Family to find their hideout. What’s happened has happened, so there’s no point dwelling on it. We should focus on what to do next," Silver Fox advised.

"With these two pawns lost, our combined assault on the Tang Family loses a key player. Just as the Tang Family was about to fall, they’ve now got a bit of breathing room. The Song Family alone is not enough to apply fatal pressure on them," the Thirteenth Elder said truthfully. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"This Ye Fan acts unpredictably, completely disregarding convention, catching people off guard. Who would have thought he would be so decisive, taking action with no room for negotiation," Lion said, frustrated.

"Business battles are like battles on the battlefield: it’s either you die, or I survive. Ye Fan targeted our pawns and cut them down—an impressive counterattack tactic that can’t help but be respected," the Thirteenth Elder said calmly.

"If this continues, the Tang Family will regain their life. What should we do?" Silver Fox inquired, bowing.

"Contact Song Tianba. Meet him first thing tomorrow morning. It would be best to reassure Song Tianba, and if funding is needed, I can provide support. We must not relent in suppressing the Tang Family," the Thirteenth Elder pondered.

......

Tonight, the deaths of Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God stirred anxiety and strange unrest.

The Guo Family was in upheaval, having first lost Guo Xiong, and now Guo Fengxian. In a short time, they had lost two patriarchs, causing internal chaos, leaving them disinterested in business and busy overnight electing a new patriarch.

With the mess in Zhuhai City, no one mentioned it. The Guo Family members all focused on their family’s interests.

They oddly and sensitively ignored Zhuhai City, too preoccupied to avenge Guo Fengxian.

The reason was simple: both patriarchs had died in Zhuhai City, and no one dared to go back seeking discomfort.

Within the Guo Family, few clamored for revenge for Guo Fengxian, and those voices were quickly drowned out by other family members.

With the Gambling God gone, the massive business interests of his line were left only to the Gambling God’s widow, halting decisive actions, especially in suppressing the Tang Family.

With the pressure from the Guo Family and the Gambling God’s line gone, the Tang Family’s days were much better.

Tang Jian’an stayed up tirelessly, focusing all his energy on dealing with the family’s crisis, leading a group of elites to handle the pressing matters overnight.

Ye Fan and Qiu Wen returned to the Tang Family.

Tang Venerable, beaming with joy, approached the two, clasping his hands in gratitude, "Thanks to Mr. Ye’s intervention, my Tang Family was able to catch a breath. Mr. Ye’s proactive action and swift resolution had an astounding effect."

While speaking, Tang Venerable signaled to a few servants behind him, who then placed some prepared food on the table before retreating.

"Mr. Ye, Miss Qiu, you’ve been busy all night. I’ve prepared some food for you; please see if it suits your taste. If you need anything to eat or drink, just let us know," Tang Venerable said politely.

"No need to be polite, Tang Venerable. Let’s sit and talk slowly," Ye Fan replied.

"You are the host, and we are the guests. So please, Tang Venerable, don’t be so formal. Being overly formal would be impolite," Qiu Wen said.

"Miss Qiu is right," Tang Venerable replied humbly.

"With Guo Fengxian and the Gambling God gone, only the Song Family remains. Waiting for an opportunity isn’t practical for us; we must seize the chance and take swift action to resolve the trouble. If we can trace this line to the Thirteenth Elder’s whereabouts through the Song Family and strike him down, that would be wise," Ye Fan said calmly.

"Does Mr. Ye have a plan?" Tang Venerable’s eyes lit up.

"I’ll directly break into the Song Family and see if Song Tianba behaves," Ye Fan said.

"Ahem!" Tang Venerable was choked and coughed a few times before awkwardly saying, "Mr. Ye, you jest. Only Mr. Ye has such bravery and boldness; others likely would not."

"The Song Family is a lion’s den, not easy to break into," Qiu Wen interjected. "Master, let me join you. I can assist."

"I alone am enough; more people would be of no use," Ye Fan stated firmly.
