My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1101: Taking Hostages
Ghost Shadow drove the car onto an empty road, finally slowing down.
"Courting death!" Ghost Shadow glanced at the vehicle tailing him, speaking with a murderous intent. He didn’t know that Yu Zhihui had already committed suicide, but he wouldn’t let those following him off. Since he couldn’t shake them off, he could only deal with the trackers before leaving.
He was extremely confident and did not take the pursuers seriously.
With his skills, he could naturally deal with the pursuers easily, and it was precisely this confidence that left him fearless.
The reason for his confidence was that he knew those around Mengyao well; none could match him. Even if there were several, absolute strength rendered any advantage in numbers useless.
After stopping the car, Ghost Shadow ran directly towards the vehicle tailing him.
"Get out of the car to die!" Ghost Shadow’s cold pupils radiated disdain.
Tang Venerable and Kunpeng got out of the car, and upon seeing them, Ghost Shadow’s pupils immediately contracted.
"Tang Venerable, the pillar of the Tang Family dominating Jiangnan, along with Kunpeng, the Tang Family’s successor, why are you here?" Ghost Shadow exclaimed, stepping back involuntarily.
He naturally recognized these two, as one of the famous Forbidden Powerhouses in Asia, he was quite aware.
Ghost Shadow no longer carried any contempt, replaced by disbelief and shock.
"Ghost Shadow, one of Sky Net’s executioners." Tang Venerable said with a chuckle, "Today, encountered here, leave your life behind."
"You want to kill me? Hahaha, hahahaha, the mere Tang Family dares to oppose Sky Net. Is the Tang Family not afraid of being annihilated?" Ghost Shadow laughed.
"Ignorant brat, how did the Thirteenth Elder die, don’t you know? Since Sky Net wants to deal with my Tang Family, my Tang Family will also fight back with all its might." Tang Venerable replied calmly.
"Well, well done, I did not expect Tang Venerable, who hadn’t been involved in the Underworld for over a decade, to step out actively now." Ghost Shadow appeared relaxed, but inwardly was extremely tense, and coldly shouted, "If you want to kill me, let’s see if you have the ability."
"You overestimate yourself." Tang Venerable said indifferently.
As he spoke, Tang Venerable and Kunpeng attacked Ghost Shadow.
The three engaged in battle. If Tang Venerable and Kunpeng attacked Ghost Shadow separately, Ghost Shadow could insist on escaping, perhaps enough to evade death. However, with Tang Venerable and Kunpeng both attacking, Ghost Shadow was naturally outmatched.
After a round of combat, Ghost Shadow was executed, dying under the siege of Tang Venerable and Kunpeng.
......
In the villa, Mengyao, Zhang Lu, and Qiu Wen were awaiting news, and the information of Yu Zhihui and Ghost Shadow’s deaths came promptly.
"Yu Zhihui’s suicide and Ghost Shadow’s execution showed that these two apparent enemies are dead on the surface. But who knows if there are hidden operatives, how many, and their strength? Currently, it seems we cannot proceed with the next round of attacks." Zhang Lu said.
"The enemy acts mysteriously, extremely cautious, without leaving clues for tracking, discovering their secrets is indeed as difficult as climbing the sky," Mengyao replied blandly, "Luckily nothing happened, Sky Net’s plot was thwarted by us."
"Sky Net’s assassins are quite peculiar, never thought even someone as feeble as Yu Zhihui was a member of Sky Net. It proves that Sky Net has endless talent, who knows in what forms they might appear before us, which is quite surprising." Qiu Wen remarked.
"Our crisis is resolved, but who knows how Ye Fan is doing?" Mengyao expressed concern.
"Relax, Ye Fan won’t be in trouble, nor will he possibly encounter trouble." Zhang Lu, not completely relaxed, assured, "Even though the crisis in front of us is resolved, we should remain cautious. I feel uneasy; based on my knowledge of Sky Net, it cannot be that only Yu Zhihui and Ghost Shadow exist, there should be other tricks."
"With both dead, it’s a case of dying without testimony. Doubts without evidence are just empty suspicions with no clues; we are powerless, if the opponent insists on hiding, what else can we do? We’re still helpless." Qiu Wen said dejectedly.
"Ghost Shadow preferred dying in battle, Yu Zhihui preferred suicide rather than falling into our hands. Hence, they hid to avoid leaking information, choosing death over life." Zhang Lu said, "From this point, there may be other situations we don’t understand."
"Why consider so much? If trouble comes, we face it, if floods come, we block it. That’s all we can do." Qiu Wen said indifferently.
......
Sky Net Headquarters.
The Seventh Elder, after receiving Yu Zhihui’s intelligence, sought the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder.
After briefly explaining the situation, the expressions on the three elders were grim.
"Seventh Elder, how are you handling matters? You once beat your chest guaranteeing that Yu Zhihui and Ghost Shadow could accomplish this mission, but look now, they’ve failed, right? Failure isn’t the issue, if it was just a common failure we’d merely lose a few people, but now what?" The Third Elder said bluntly, "The Fourth Elder is about to meet Ye Fan, without hostages to restrain him, if Ye Fan gets angry, the Fourth Elder is doomed. The painstakingly reformed Hunt Nine Squad will also suffer annihilation."
"This matter is definitely tricky, we put too much trust in the Seventh Elder. If the situation spirals, it will be uncontainable." The Second Elder spoke, with evident blame.
"Three elders, the intelligence riskily provided by my subordinates is indeed feasible." The Seventh Elder assured.
"We can only treat the dying horse as a living one, how is the control over newly planned vulnerable hostages?" The First Elder primarily concerned about this issue. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
If we fail to achieve results soon, things will be catastrophic.
"Mei and Lan have secretly activated channels to capture Chu Mengyao, and have already taken Lu Xiangxiang, heading to the designated place. Additionally, the capture of Liu Shangxiang is underway." The Seventh Elder said.
"That’s good, without opportunities on major targets, we can only mitigate losses from other aspects." The First Elder sighed and then reminded, "Once we’ve captured hostages, notify Ye Fan as soon as possible to prevent any recklessness on his part."
"I will handle it immediately." The Seventh Elder responded.
Lu Xiangxiang was secretly captured by Mei and Lan at the workplace.
In a foreign land, Liu Shangxiang was also captured.
The Seventh Elder, at his wit’s end, could only use these two as hostages.
