My Perfect Female CEO

Regarding Shen Yahut's death, Mengyao didn't feel guilty. In her mind, Shen Yahut was like a sister to her, and she naturally held the same feelings toward Yaqing. Although Yaqing was quite distant from her, she didn't mind it. She believed that after some time together, Yaqing would slowly adapt and gradually accept the fact that Shen Yahut was already dead.

Ye Fan watched Shen Yahut's demise with his own eyes at the time, leaving a knot in his heart. He couldn't save Shen Yahut, and thus felt very distressed.

Shen Yaqing didn't know anything, and looking at the gentle eyes of Ye Fan and Mengyao, she felt quite uneasy.

"Don't be a stranger. From now on, I'm your sister." Mengyao pulled Shen Yaqing to sit down and gently said, "I can see you have a lot of questions. Feel free to ask whatever you want."

"It seems I don't know you guys, do I?" Shen Yaqing blurted out, full of suspicion, "What are your intentions? Just speak frankly. Although you saved our lives, if you want the Night Cat Squad to work for you, that's impossible."

She considered her words carefully before bluntly voicing her thoughts. Gratitude was gratitude, but asking the Night Cat Squad to do things against their principles was out of the question.

The Night Cat Squad had faced attempts to be recruited by many powers, but they were always rejected. Working under someone else was far less liberating than being free. Although there wasn't complete safety, it's fine as long as they were careful.

The Chu Group is very large now, which was the biggest reason Shen Yaqing could think of for Ye Fan saving her. This way, it would directly strengthen the Chu Group's network system, making it easier to break into other companies' networks and obtain detailed information about competitors.

Any company requires skilled computer experts, but hackers are not necessarily willing to align with a corporation. Traversing the underworld freely, mastering others' secrets, and acquiring what they need with ease.

She never would have thought that the reason Ye Fan and Mengyao cared for her so much was because of her sister.

"You're overthinking it. We know you, but perhaps you don't know us." Mengyao explained softly.

Shen Yaqing interrupted, "Enough with the flattery. If you have a purpose, just come out with it. Your reputations precede you here in Ba Country; it's hard not to know you two. I naturally know about you. Frankly, back in Huaxia, we were invited by Meng Yinglong to attack the Chu Group, so we're somewhat akin to enemies."

She said this to see how the other side would react.

Despite her heavy guardedness and hostility, she still felt uncertain inside. After all, the two people in front of her were not to be trifled with, especially Ye Fan, who many called a "god of death."

Dreaming, Mengyao thought mentioning Shen Yahut's news would be too abrupt, so she intended to speak slowly. Yet seeing Shen Yaqing's unstable hostility, she said helplessly, "I didn't expect you attacked my company, but that's a minor matter—it's all in the past, not worth mentioning."

"Even that can be glossed over?" Shen Yaqing widened her eyes in surprise.

"I've said it's a minor issue." Mengyao nodded seriously. With a glance from Ye Fan, she then said in earnest, "We know you're Shen Yahut's sister. With that in mind, surely you can't still be hostile toward us?"

"..." Shen Yaqing stood with her mouth agape, shocked at the sudden news. She suddenly felt a surge of joy she couldn't bear, and dizziness overcame her. She impatiently asked, "Where's my sister?"

She remembered clearly that when she was fifteen, her parents divorced. She went abroad with her father, while her sister stayed with their mother. Shortly after, her father got into serious debt, lost everything in business, and eventually committed suicide under the pressure from collectors. Because of this, she dropped out of school and became a hacker using her talent and interests.

She delved into programs and coding, hoping to trace her sister and mother in the vast ocean of the world.

Unfortunately, when she arrived in Huaxia, the old house had turned into a skyscraper, and she didn't know where her mother and sister had moved to.

At this moment, hearing news about her sister, she regained consciousness and was overwhelmed with happiness, losing all guardedness and hostility. Even the way she looked at Ye Fan and Mengyao became more amiable.

Seeing Shen Yaqing filled with joy and expectations, Mengyao and Ye Fan exchanged a glance, hesitant to break the sad news to her, worried that Shen Yaqing would not comprehend or accept such bad news.

"Better a short pain than a long one. You'll find out sooner or later," Ye Fan hesitated before slowly saying, "Your mother worked herself to illness to raise your sister and endured great hardships. When her illness acted up, there was no cure, and she passed away years ago. Your sister also got into an accident not long ago and died. At the time, your sister was Mengyao's secretary, and they were as close as sisters. A few months ago, Shen Yahut was kidnapped, and when I rescued her, we encountered another group's murderous intent on the way back. I watched as Shen Yahut took her last breath, but I was powerless to save her."

Ye Fan explained everything clearly, "In a way, the killers were after me, and as a result, Shen Yahut died."

He took the blame on himself, hoping to make Shen Yaqing feel a little better.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqing was already beside herself, devastated. She cast a cold, harsh look at Ye Fan and Mengyao and shouted, "You're lying to me, you're lying to me."

After saying this, she turned and left, shaking off the arm Mengyao had grabbed.

Mengyao staggered, falling onto the sofa. Her strength was naturally less than Shen Yaqing's.

Unable to accept this reality, she recalled how she'd endured countless hardships, telling herself to persist because she hoped to reunite with her mother and sister one day, even in the absence of her father—a support of sorts during his lifetime—now, not even her mother and sister were around. Her world collapsed entirely, leaving no courage to carry on.

She suddenly found her hopes of living had disappeared.

The loves and ties she cherished were long gone.

Despair, solitude, anger, and helplessness engulfed her.

Her strength, in the face of such devastating news, was like a wall built of sand in a flood, crumbling to dust.

Watching Shen Yaqing in a frenzy trying to rush out, Ye Fan extended a finger, making Shen Yaqing faint.
