My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 860: Who Is the Rough Man?

The Rough Man indeed intended to extinguish the hope held by Mengyao and the other two women. Although he seemed generous in allowing a delay, he naturally had his own thoughts and motives.

First, to display his terror and dreadfulness; second, to quash any possible hope, so that the three women would stop their futile struggle and be forced into a deadly corner. This was all part of his meticulously planned layout. In such a scenario, the women had not a glimmer of hope.

"You must be sick," Qiu Wen snorted coldly, venting her dissatisfaction in this way.

"From your face, I see despair and helplessness. It makes me quite delighted. The phrase ’angry at your failure, bitter at your misfortune’ is just for you. I consider myself a qualified spectator," the Rough Man said with a laugh, unable to hold it in.

Don’t be fooled by the constant smile on his face. The phrase ’emotionally enigmatic’ describes him perfectly, and that’s what’s terrifying.

Such a person could become lethal on a whim. No one knew what he would do next.

This was the place Mengyao and the other two feared and dreaded the most.

"I’m a straightforward person. Since I want to achieve my goals, I naturally have to be clear about everything," the Rough Man said with an infuriating smile, "If I want you to feel despair, then naturally, I can’t let you hold even the slightest hope. As I said earlier, you are now in a dead-end. But what if Ye Fan appears?"

Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi exchanged glances, a bleak light flashing deep in their eyes. The two women had secretly reached an agreement that if Ye Fan appeared, they would do whatever it took to give Mengyao enough space, creating enough time for Ye Fan. At that time, Qiu Wen would risk her life to block the Rough Man, even though he was incredibly powerful. Qiu Wen was confident she could buy a few seconds. If absolutely necessary, Du Xueqi would protect Mengyao and withdraw from the danger zone, which would be enough. Although Qiu Wen might die, it was a choice they had to make under the circumstances.

For Mengyao’s safety, this was the only feasible solution that Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi could think of.

Although the two women had no verbal communication, the situation forced them to do this.

That’s why Qiu Wen thought of verbally insulting the Rough Man, intending to anger him so that he wouldn’t think of this point. But unbelievably, the Rough Man brought up this hope himself.

Even though Mengyao understood Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi’s determination, she truly couldn’t do anything now.

"What do you mean by that?" Qiu Wen asked, pretending to know nothing.

"Heh, since you’re feigning ignorance with full knowledge, why not let me spell it out for you," the Rough Man said with interest, "Your last hope is waiting for a miracle. If Ye Fan appears, you would risk your life to entangle me, giving her a chance to forcibly drag Chu Mengyao out of the danger zone, and by the way, creating time and opportunity for Ye Fan to rescue."

The Rough Man’s gaze shone strangely as he stared at Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi. Of course, the one to entangle him would naturally be Qiu Wen. Whether in terms of distance, space, or strength, Qiu Wen was undeniably the right choice. By then, Du Xueqi forcibly leading Mengyao away could be a good opportunity, which was where hope lay.

Mengyao and the others clearly understood what the Rough Man meant.

Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi shuddered inside. They understood that this last hope had been seen through by the Rough Man. The situation next could very well develop unexpectedly. Even if Ye Fan really came, it would still be worrisome. It would be easy to catch the Rough Man off guard, but once he was prepared, things would become exceedingly difficult.

The Rough Man did not care about Qiu Wen and the others’ death-like silence. He continued speaking to Qiu Wen, "Do you think, by risking your life, you could stop me? If I decided to kill with one blow, do you think you could escape my grasp?"

Then, he glanced at Du Xueqi, saying coldly, "Once Qiu Wen is dealt with and I rise, can you escape my hands? Even if you don’t care about life and death and rush up, do you think that little amount of time can give Chu Mengyao a chance to live? I’m not underestimating Ye Fan, but your strength is too weak. I believe you both have the heart to stop me at the risk of your lives, but so what? Can you stop me?"

"That’s uncertain. I believe in our master (savior)," Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi muttered in their hearts.

This was their only chance. At the critical moment, they would take action without regret, even if it meant death.

At this moment, the two women dared not take any rash actions. Without Ye Fan, any movement from them would be in vain.

"Chu Mengyao, can you bear to watch these two foolish women die to protect you, and you, in the end, also find it hard to escape my ruthless hands? Even in such a situation, would you prioritize your life or death?" The Rough Man looked at Mengyao with interest, saying, "If you are willing to die by my hand, I might consider sparing their lives. After all, you are my target, and I don’t want to kill the innocent indiscriminately. Occasionally showing mercy is quite tasteful."

"Your scheme to sow discord won’t work. Arrogance naturally has its consequences," Qiu Wen shouted coldly, fearing Mengyao would make an unwise choice. She emphasized, "Trust our master; this arrogant freak won’t last much longer."

"If you act now, you still have a chance to lose completely. But once Ye Fan arrives, you definitely won’t have a chance. I’m not underestimating you, but you’re outclassed by Ye Fan," Qiu Wen said coldly. She naturally chose to believe in Ye Fan. No matter how perilous the situation may be, she couldn’t easily give up. If she did, it would all be over.

"You saying that makes me very sad. Could Ye Fan be my opponent? Hahaha." The Rough Man laughed eerily.

Then, his mischievous hand pinched Qiu Wen’s thigh, glinting coldly, "Don’t try to provoke me, or I won’t mind acting right now."

"I know that every line of work has its rules. Words count, and reneging would be worse than an animal," Du Xueqi said maliciously, "You’re not the type to let your words be like farts, right?"

Her words were sharp, intending to provoke the Rough Man.

"I enjoy your provocation so much that I will abide by my word, but I have my conditions," the Rough Man said spiritedly.

"Whatever your conditions are, get your filthy hands off my leg," Qiu Wen shouted coldly. If looks could kill, the Rough Man would have been sliced to pieces.
