My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1102: The Fourth Elder Loses His Composure

At the Hunting Team Nine’s base, the Fourth Elder had already arrived here, and Hall had reported the news of Gu Qiong’s death.

"Gu Qiong was a formidable presence, and although the loss is significant, being able to kill Gu Qiong makes it worthwhile. Hunting Team Nine will receive supreme honor." The Fourth Elder looked at Hall with satisfaction and said, "As the new captain of Hunting Team Nine, you’ve done very well. Before I even arrived, you strictly adhered to the organization’s orders and completed the assigned tasks, which is excellent."

The Fourth Elder was, of course, quite pleased with Hall, and naturally did not hold back on praise.

"Thank you for your approval, Elder. This is what I should do." Hall said obediently.

"Let the losses of Hunting Team Nine be slowly replenished in future development. I am optimistic about Hunting Team Nine’s growth. You must strive hard; don’t let other hunting teams overshadow you. You need to strive to be the best." The Fourth Elder expressed great expectations.

"Hunting Team Nine will definitely not disappoint Elder’s affection and the organization’s reliance. The fate of Hunting Team Nine’s demise won’t repeat itself under my leadership. I will ensure Hunting Team Nine becomes indispensable among the hunting teams." Hall assured.

"Hmm!" The Fourth Elder nodded with gratification at Hall, then said, "If there’s a need, I will provide assistance."

The Fourth Elder had arrived in the Middle East primarily to negotiate with Ye Fan, using hostages to make Ye Fan cooperate with Sky Net in dealing with the God Organization, while also strengthening Hunting Team Nine.

Although he was not very satisfied with Hunting Team Nine’s losses, compared to the achievement of killing Gu Qiong, this loss was acceptable. After all, exterminating such a tricky target like Gu Qiong was not an easy task.

"Elder, Ye Fan should be arriving soon. Should we give him a show of force, so that he behaves in front of us? I’ve heard he’s defiant and unruly; a bit of discipline is necessary." Hall suggested.

As the new captain of Hunting Team Nine, whether because Ye Fan had destroyed the former team or because of Ye Fan’s reputation, Hall felt indignant, with a natural competitive spirit.

Hall dreamed of making a mark, naturally hoping for Hunting Team Nine to achieve merits and establish a solid foundation.

"No, we shouldn’t easily provoke Ye Fan; we just need to treat him courteously." The Fourth Elder said.

"Elder, Ye Fan is just one man, what’s there to worry about? Everyone says Ye Fan alone destroyed the entire Hunting Team Nine. That news is exaggerated with falsehoods; no one believes one man can contend with an entire hunting team. It’s unrealistic." Hall said disdainfully.

Sky Net could only blame Ye Fan for the fall of Hunting Team Nine.

Other hunting teams’ disbelief was understandable because they didn’t know Ye Fan was the Terminator. Sky Net’s elders were aware of Ye Fan’s identity, which affirmed this certainty.

"Remember my words; we are only negotiating with Ye Fan, not engaging in debate." The Fourth Elder advised meaningfully, "You’ll understand in time, Ye Fan is absolutely someone not to be provoked."

"......" Hall looked at the Fourth Elder in confusion, not quite understanding, and could only honestly say, "I’ll listen to the Elder; I won’t act rashly."

"That’s good." The Fourth Elder was increasingly satisfied with Hall’s obedience. At this moment, he received a message. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Good news, finally arrived. It seems the hostages to restrain Ye Fan have been captured." The Fourth Elder muttered with a smile, not needing to guess. He knew that the operation to capture Chu Mengyao must have been successful.

But upon checking the message, the Fourth Elder’s expression gradually darkened, turning red then purple, extremely unpleasant.

"President Chu hasn’t been captured; Yu Zhihui and Ghost Shadow are dead. Seventh Elder, you old thing have harmed me! Without President Chu as a hostage to threaten Ye Fan, how can I negotiate with him? If Ye Fan gets angry, he might kill me in a rage. You’ve given me two ordinary hostages; aren’t you setting me up for disaster?" The Fourth Elder was utterly disheartened.

This turn of events left him extremely angry, his face practically squeezed out regret.

"Elder, what’s wrong?" Hall asked in confusion, "Did something happen? Why did your expression change suddenly?"

The Fourth Elder adjusted his breathing, calming down somewhat, quietly muttering, "At this point, only relying on Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang as hostages might threaten Ye Fan. If not, my life is short-lived. I hope the Seventh Elder’s judgment is correct, and he is someone of loyalty and righteousness; otherwise, I’ll end up dead, following the Thirteenth Elder."

The Fourth Elder panicked for a moment before regaining his composure.

"Elder?" Hall spoke tentatively, eyes fixed on the Fourth Elder.

"Hall, you fool, why did you kill Gu Qiong? Couldn’t you delay the hunt? You should have waited for me to discuss it with me before hunting Gu Qiong. Why were you so impatient? Don’t you know haste makes waste?" The Fourth Elder’s demeanor changed, starting to criticize Hall.

The original plan was to act against both Chu Mengyao and Gu Qiong, one dead and one alive, to maximize the pressure on Ye Fan.

Gu Qiong’s death was to warn Ye Fan that if he didn’t cooperate with Sky Net, Gu Qiong’s fate would be Chu Mengyao’s.

Of course, the reason for choosing to hunt Gu Qiong was not only because he was friendly with Ye Fan and feared he would help Ye Fan in the future but also because Gu Qiong didn’t cooperate with Sky Net, which was the main reason to set an example.

But now, the two factors meant to coerce Ye Fan have completed one, Gu Qiong is dead, and Chu Mengyao hasn’t become a hostage, pushing things into an unpredictable state.

At this moment, no matter how significant Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang’s weight might be, it naturally doesn’t hold as much importance in Ye Fan’s heart as Chu Mengyao.

This led to an irreversible change in the situation.

Right now, the Fourth Elder wished fervently that Gu Qiong were still alive, so Ye Fan could reduce some unnecessary hostility.

"Elder, what’s wrong with you?"

"The organization instructed me to eliminate Gu Qiong at all costs, and target must be killed before your arrival."

"I was acting entirely in accordance with the organization’s orders?"

"Didn’t you just praise me for doing well?"

"Why are you suddenly blaming me?"

Hall was dumbfounded, full of confusion, looking at the Fourth Elder.

"Alas!" The Fourth Elder sighed and didn’t say much more; this matter was truly not Hall’s fault.
