My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1308: Elder Fu’s Purpose

Ye Fan wasn’t surprised by the arrival of Fu Huixia and Fu Lao. He had heard Zhang Lu mention a few things, so he knew Fu Lao might come, and even if he didn’t, it wouldn’t matter to him.After a simple greeting, Mengyao and Fu Huixia went downstairs to chat, leaving Ye Fan and Fu Lao with their own space to discuss business.

Not only did Mengyao know that trouble was coming, but Ye Fan was also well aware, just waiting to hear what Fu Lao had to say.

Ye Fan and Fu Lao sat face-to-face.

"Recently, your actions not only shocked the Underworld, but even the world on the surface was completely stunned. By collaborating with Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, you pushed Sky Net to the brink, then wiped out Deceitful Fox; such a feat is indeed astonishing. Now, all the oligarchs are watching you, Fire Phoenix, and the Butcher, daring not to act arrogantly in front of you. They’re likely racking their brains, thinking of ways to curry favor with you and build good relationships," Fu Lao exclaimed.

His expression was very solemn, yet he couldn’t avoid a sense of nostalgia. Even though he had long known Ye Fan’s identity and had an unimaginable understanding and faith in the name Terminator, he was still shocked when both Sky Net and Deceitful Fox were obliterated.

Relying on his own strength, he played Sky Net for a fool, then used Sky Net to first destroy Deceitful Fox, letting Fire Phoenix and the Butcher rise, and finally crushed Sky Net.

These actions might sound simple, but even Fu Lao couldn’t imagine how difficult they were in reality.

While others were marveling at the Terminator, it was hard to notice the role played by the Terminator, the power exerted, whether in wisdom or strategy, to toy with so many old cunning foxes effortlessly, which was truly astounding.

It’s no exaggeration to say that that intellectual victory was even more terrifying than all-out warfare.

Fu Lao had such an understanding and insight, so he was very cautious about trying to play mind games in front of Ye Fan, fearing to achieve nothing and possibly losing even more.

"Let’s not talk about past events, and it’s a bit exaggerated to say other forces are looking at the faces of Fire Phoenix, the Butcher, and us for directions," Ye Fan said calmly.

"No exaggeration, not at all," Fu Lao responded seriously. "Although the Terminator Alliance has been established, many forces do not recognize it. They want to suppress the Terminator Alliance, taking advantage of the fact that the Terminator is not personally in charge, but under the efforts of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, those opposing forces are crying out pitifully. In front of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, they are completely overwhelmed, and gradually, the fierce power of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher is deeply rooted in the minds of many, no longer underestimated but feared."

Fu Lao had a very clear understanding of the Underworld’s affairs, unlike the little Ye Fan heard from Mengyao.

Nowadays, the Underworld is abuzz with two names, one is Fire Phoenix, the other is the Butcher.

For the reclusive Terminator, there’s not much focus anymore, but the deep apprehension remains.

Anyone who opposes Fire Phoenix and the Butcher or underestimates the Terminator Alliance is gradually subdued.

As soon as any dissident voice arises, they quickly face the blows from Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, and the forces who stubbornly resist suffer heavy losses, further affirming the strength of the Terminator Alliance, and the personal prowess of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher.

With the spread of the fame of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, the opposing forces are dwindling, and their renown is rising.

"It’s all the credit of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher; it really has nothing to do with me. Seeing them have their unique irreplaceable status, I’m also very happy," Ye Fan said calmly.

"It seems you are truly indifferent to fame and fortune," Fu Lao nodded meaningfully, not dwelling on this matter further. He could hardly say that the heavier the reputation of Fire Phoenix and the Butcher, it affects the name of the Terminator, and let Ye Fan defend the Terminator’s name; that would be foolish.

Fu Lao shifted his tone, saying, "I heard you were injured; how are you recovering now?"

"All healed, no problem," Ye Fan said.

"I didn’t come to visit you immediately; you wouldn’t blame me, would you?" Fu Lao said apologetically.

"I wouldn’t. It was just a minor injury, nothing worth visiting," Ye Fan said calmly. "There’s no need for warm inquiries either. I know you have something to discuss, so let’s get straight to the point. I’m not sure if you’re ashamed to ask, or if you’re trying to understand my judgment from the sidelines?"

"You’ve made me a joke," Fu Lao smiled awkwardly but tactfully began to speak solemnly, "This visit is not purely to see you; there is indeed something I want your opinion and perspective on."

"No need for humility; I couldn’t have any opinions or perspectives. You’re the big leader; I dare not act arrogantly before you," Ye Fan quickly replied.

"Mr. Ye, you’re truly humble," Fu Lao’s eyes glimmered, continuing, "Here’s the situation: there’s some dispute on the border. I genuinely hope you can resolve it if you have the time, to deter those scoundrels gathering near the border. Other people or troops could also take on this task, but their rules are too numerous. I need a small force without rules or restraint, active around the border, to eliminate the enemy to the greatest extent, while preserving their power."

"According to what you mean, this small force has no organization, isn’t constrained by any side, and won’t be acknowledged by any force," Ye Fan inquired.

"Mr. Ye, indeed intelligent; that’s exactly what I mean," Fu Lao said sheepishly, "Mr. Ye, I shouldn’t bother you with such matters as you’re outside the organization, but in my mind, you’re the ideal choice, so I can only come to ask for your help."

"I’ve heard Chi Qinyuan sacrificed?" Ye Fan asked casually.

"Yes," Fu Lao answered, his gaze suddenly flashed, unsettled, "Mr. Ye, how did you know?"

"I heard Zhang Lu mention a bit," Ye Fan’s eyes reflected thought. From Fu Lao’s words, he had already gathered enough information.

"Ah, I see." Fu Lao was unsure whether to blame Zhang Lu or punish her; he genuinely didn’t know about Zhang Lu’s leak.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think?" Fu Lao asked with hope.

"Since you’ve made a personal visit, I have to agree. At this time, being able to contribute my part is good," Ye Fan pondered briefly before agreeing to Fu Lao’s request.

The favor must be given.

After all, Fu Lao had provided a lot of help in the past.
