Chapter 443 Shen Yaqing Comes Out
Mengyao and Fire Phoenix walked out of the room, Mengyao had too many puzzling thoughts. She knew that Fire Phoenix didn't want to be enemies with Ye Fan, yet seemed to have an undeniable reason to be adversaries. This discovery surprised her greatly. Fire Phoenix's heart was very complicated, and she was equally complicated. She wanted to persuade Fire Phoenix, but her words couldn't have much impact.
Fire Phoenix paused slightly, didn't take another look at Ye Fan, instead, gave Mengyao a meaningful glance before leaving.
"What's happening?"
"Something's off about both the president and that woman's expressions, shouldn't they be reacting differently?"
"Logically speaking, it would make sense for two women to fight over a man, but this? It's really odd, yet can't quite pinpoint what's so strange about it."
Du Xueqi and the other women noticed Mengyao and Fire Phoenix's expressions and focused their gaze on Ye Fan, becoming more puzzled as they looked on.
Ye Fan didn't reveal his inner thoughts. Regarding Fire Phoenix's coming and going, he harbored special emotions and concerns.
Mengyao came to Ye Fan's side, still worried. Fire Phoenix's words greatly touched her; not worrying was a lie. She couldn't understand why there had to be bitter enmity between Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix, nor could she figure it out.
"What did she say?" Ye Fan looked at Mengyao, asking carefully.
"She said she was your lover and was heartlessly dumped by you," Mengyao replied calmly.
Ye Fan was taken aback, helplessly saying, "Don't joke around, I'm serious. Judging by your expression, I'm guessing there's something else. Tell me, what's really troubling you?"
"I can tell her heart is especially complex. She doesn't want to be your enemy but has an involuntary reason to be. I don't know what happened between you and Fire Phoenix, but I don't want you two to end up in opposing camps. There must be a way to resolve this, right?" Mengyao worriedly said.
She had questions in her heart but didn't actively inquire about either Ye Fan's past identity or Fire Phoenix's past identity.
She believed that when the time was right, Ye Fan would definitely tell her himself.
"I'll take things one step at a time. As for whether it will reach the point of being enemies, I can't guarantee." Ye Fan said seriously.
He was immensely unwilling to be enemies with Fire Phoenix, but what could he do?
He could only let fate take its course and decide based on future developments.
"Additionally, Fire Phoenix said I would become your burden." Mengyao cautiously said.
She also knew that her presence would often cause Ye Fan to have concerns, for her sake, he would stop at nothing.
"From my standpoint, you are the concern in my heart. As for the burden, that's the enemy's viewpoint. You shouldn't entertain such thoughts of self-deprecation and make yourself unhappy. You should consider issues from my perspective or your own, regardless of other people's opinions." Ye Fan seriously said, "Would you rather see me cold and indifferent, or emotionally engaged?"
"Of course, I'd rather see the emotional you." Mengyao answered without hesitation.
"That's it then, don't overthink." Ye Fan comforted.
"Even if I were to die, I would die by your side, not leaving you." Mengyao vowed steadfastly.
She understood some of Fire Phoenix's insinuations; the trouble they'd face in the future might be immense. Of course, all this depends on staying with Ye Fan, yet she was unafraid, for without Ye Fan, her world would be dark.
"What silly talk is that? I'll ensure you're safe; no one can harm you." Ye Fan promised.
With Fire Phoenix's arrival causing disturbances, Ye Fan and Mengyao kept these thoughts in their hearts, no longer mentioning them openly.
........
Meanwhile, at the same time, the Night Cat Squad also revealed themselves in a corner of Ba Country, showing their murderous intent, directed at the enemy, the arms dealer Brand.
The Night Cat Squad consisted of five members, including the captain Batu and Shen Yaqing, three men and two women. Although their combat skills weren't remarkable, their hacking skills were exceptional. Back in Huaxia, the Night Cat Squad had assisted the Meng Family Business in targeting Chu Group, only to flee in haste after being intimidated by Ye Fan. They settled down in Ba Country's fertile grounds.
Not long ago, Kasam's people invited the Night Cat Squad to reinforce the military base's network defense system.
Shen Yaqing, needless to say, was understood by everyone; she was Shen Yahut's younger sister, Chu Mengyao's former secretary.
"Unexpectedly, Chu Group established such a large commercial arena in Ba Country so quickly, even Habson and Okamura Jiro didn't escape unscathed, one dead and the other fleeing, truly terrifying." Batu said, slightly surprised, "Our upcoming actions must be very cautious. We must avoid any clashes with Chu Group. We can't afford to provoke them. In Huaxia, our identities should not have been exposed, so there's no need to worry about our past enmity with Chu Group."
"The immediate priority is to severely punish Brand, to avenge the captain's sister." Shen Yaqing said indignantly.
Batu's sister met a tragic end at Brand's hands, turning this hatred into the Night Cat Squad's vengeance.
Being a hacking team infiltrating the Underworld, their loyalty to each other needs no additional explanation.
Now that Batu's sister met an untimely fate, what they could do was make sure the perpetrator pays the price.
"Brand operates a massive arms trafficking network and has strong military forces. Therefore, we must not be careless. We need to plan carefully before acting, without making any mistakes, or disaster will follow." Batu emphasized, "However, despite Brand's large business, if we strike at his weak points, we can make him suffer significant losses."
"We just need to follow the captain's proposal, to attack the places where arms are stored and strike smuggling gangs. Brand will surely feel heartache after losing a large fortune; this is our first step, then we find an opportunity for revenge against Brand." One person said indignantly.
"Based on accurate intelligence, this warehouse stores a batch of new arms, so we'll start with it." Shen Yaqing said aggressively, pointing at a warehouse on the map.
"Kill, we must make them pay dearly."
"An eye for an eye, make Brand realize our prowess."
"Beat that son of a bitch, daring to offend us, that's recklessly bold."
The others echoed.
And so, the Night Cat Squad launched a strike against Brand's forces.
