My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1113: The Uneasy Fourth Elder

"Stand back, all of you stand back." The Fourth Elder’s loud order caused the chaotic scene to pause.

"Elder, you have to give us justice. Our captain cannot die in vain," the members of the Ninth Hunting Squad pleaded with the Fourth Elder.

Their momentum to attack Ye Fan weakened, looking at Ye Fan with eyes full of hope.

They believed that as long as the Fourth Elder stood up for the captain, his revenge would be ensured.

"Didn’t you hear me telling you to stand back?" The Fourth Elder roared again.

Only then did the members of the Ninth Hunting Squad lose their spirit, retreating collectively to keep a certain distance from the Fourth Elder.

"Since it was just a spar, one must bear the cost of failure. It is inevitable to lose control sometimes. Hall’s death is hard for you to accept, which is human nature; I also feel sad. But how can you disregard the rules of the challenge and bully with numbers? Will that reputation benefit the Ninth Hunting Squad?" The Fourth Elder had to pacify the crowd’s emotions.

He understood better than anyone how Hall had died, and it was now time to stop the current dangerous direction for the Ninth Hunting Squad.

"But Elder, Ye Fan was not sparring with the captain at all. He had ulterior motives and wanted to kill the captain; this revenge cannot go unpaid. We ask the Elder to give us justice." The Ninth Hunting Squad members petitioned.

"I will give you justice; Sky Net will give you justice, but not now," the Fourth Elder said loudly: "Stand down, resume your duties, and do not cause trouble."

"Yes!" The Ninth Hunting Squad members dared not defy the Elder and carried Hall and the others’ bodies away.

The Fourth Elder’s assurance was merely perfunctory. How would justice be served for Hall’s death?

Would they really hold Ye Fan accountable? That’s entirely unrealistic, even impossible.

The Ninth Hunting Squad could only show Ye Fan a look of vendetta, not daring to act recklessly in front of the Elder.

"Mr. Ye, shall we find a quiet place to sit down and talk?" The Fourth Elder extended an invitation.

"Alright!" Ye Fan nodded.

"This way, please, Mr. Ye." The Fourth Elder was very courteous, immediately leading the way ahead.

The Fourth Elder also felt relieved inside, fearing that Ye Fan, after killing Hall, would act rashly against him, solely seeking revenge for Gu Qiong. Now it seemed that the two hostages, Lu Xiangxiang, were not useless, at least causing Ye Fan to have some concerns, which reassured him significantly, reducing his worry.

Ye Fan also restrained himself, appropriately giving Sky Net a warning, believing that Sky Net wouldn’t cause trouble for him over Hall.

So, after dealing with Hall, he intended to negotiate with the Fourth Elder without escalating the situation further.

Ye Fan and the Fourth Elder sat down.

"Mr. Ye, I am also saddened by Gu Qiong’s death. I heard you had a good relationship with him, but I assure you, Gu Qiong’s death was not instigated by Sky Net, it was Hall’s decision. Hall wanted to recruit Gu Qiong; when talks failed, a conflict broke out. I am very saddened by this incident, but what’s done is done. I hope Mr. Ye will not dwell on it." The Fourth Elder didn’t dig deeper, attributing Gu Qiong’s death entirely to a personal vendetta between him and the Ninth Hunting Squad.

He was playing dumb knowingly. At times, this approach was necessary to avoid embarrassment.

"Let’s not discuss this for now. How Gu Qiong died, you and I both know clearly. After all, I am currently constrained; revealing some things will only lead to a never-ending deadlock. I suppose the Fourth Elder doesn’t want to see me get angry, right?" Ye Fan said meaningfully, fully aware of the Fourth Elder’s thoughts.

"Mr. Ye, you are quite amusing, the way you speak is admirable and very charming." The Fourth Elder smiled insincerely.

He dared not engage with Ye Fan’s words, instead opting to make non-substantial remarks.

Knowing Ye Fan as the Terminator, the Fourth Elder was keenly aware but dared not mention it, lest he put pressure on himself. After all, the Terminator’s reputation was too prominent; talking about it excessively wouldn’t necessarily be beneficial.

"Let’s not mention unrelated matters. I’m currently very concerned about the two hostages you’re holding. Where are they being kept?" Ye Fan said calmly: "I’m very concerned about this issue, and I trust the Fourth Elder will give me a satisfactory answer, won’t disappoint me."

"What is Mr. Ye saying? How could it be confinement? We invited them. Sky Net has invited two distinguished guests to temporarily stay with us." The Fourth Elder’s words were very tactful and gentle.

"To describe such vile behavior so politely is unique, without a doubt. Other forces, I think, would disdain to do such a thing besides Sky Net." Ye Fan fixed a fiery gaze on the Fourth Elder: "I don’t feel like talking nonsense. You haven’t answered my question yet."

"Mr. Ye, I wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly in front of you. As for the whereabouts of Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang, I truly don’t know at the moment, but I can negotiate, allowing you to contact the two women as soon as possible and assuring you that their freedom is somewhat restricted but they absolutely won’t suffer any hardship." The Fourth Elder assured.

"How long do I have to wait to contact Lu Xiangxiang?" Ye Fan said impatiently.

"Before that, I still hope Mr. Ye will talk with Sky Net, with the Elder Council in a video meeting. I alone cannot make the decision." The Fourth Elder spoke properly.

"That’s acceptable. I also want to know what Sky Net intends to do by pressing me." Ye Fan said with amusement.

Seeing Ye Fan calm as an ancient well, the Fourth Elder felt immense pressure. Such a person, once murderous intent arises, is indeed a disaster. Therefore, despite Ye Fan’s calm demeanor, beneath it lies cold indifference. When it comes to action, he’s a ruthless executioner who won’t spare anything.

"How could it be coercion?" The Fourth Elder smiled awkwardly, "Rather than coercion, it’s more of a collaboration. After all, Mr. Ye also holds a grudge against the God Organization. We’ve finally found a common purpose, and it’s only right we cooperate."

"Spare the high-sounding excuses, they make me sick." Ye Fan said displeasedly: "Please arrange it promptly. Since you can’t make the decision, let me speak with Sky Net’s elders."

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Ye. We will contact them right away," the Fourth Elder said reluctantly.

Behind the Fourth Elder, Twain and Green were contacting Sky Net Headquarters, and the Elder Council was assembling.

Since it was a video conference, with major decisions involved, naturally the Elder Council would speak with Ye Fan together.
