My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 891: Slim Chances of Survival

Since Gu Qiong had said so, Mengyao naturally trusted Gu Qiong’s words.

"As long as there is no major danger, this is good. As long as we find Ye Fan ahead of the enemies, all bad things won’t happen. Otherwise, no one knows what might occur." Mengyao felt much relieved, with a noticeably relaxed expression on her face.

"My curse was not in vain after all, I shouldn’t underestimate my ability to make bold claims, cursing myself to die miserably, being struck by lightning is pretty unlucky, aha, haha." Gu Qiong thought with great bitterness in his heart. Seeing Mengyao not as worried, he felt somewhat better, willing to go to such lengths to help Ye Fan.

He still mused with disgust: "Ye Fan, if my curse actually works, you’d better compensate me with your life."

Gu Qiong didn’t dwell on this topic further, but said admiringly: "Sometimes, when I calm down and think, I truly envy Ye Fan."

"What do you mean?" Mengyao asked, puzzled.

"Having such a wonderful woman worrying about him, even dying seems worthwhile." Gu Qiong smiled bitterly, saying: "With this sentiment and scenery, I’d like to recite a poem, ’Even thinning clothes do not cause regret, for her I become gaunt,’ it’s truly admirable."

"You don’t have to envy; you could find a partner." Mengyao suggested naturally.

"It’s not as easy as you say; this world is so fake. Among the populous, everyone is just playing games, deceiving one another. Meeting a genuine and honest person is like finding a needle in a haystack." Gu Qiong laughed eerily.

"You are quite picky, but I believe that as long as you want to find, you will eventually find the suitable one." Mengyao said earnestly.

"In the vast sea of people, even if encountered, one might choose to avoid." Gu Qiong fell into a dilemma.

"Why?" Mengyao had anticipated Gu Qiong’s worry but still asked knowingly.

Gu Qiong said plainly: "As a killer, enemies are everywhere. The higher you stand in the dark world, the more enemies you have. Any attachment could become a fatal flaw, harming oneself and others, not worth the risk."

"There is gain with loss; though being unburdened lays the foundation for invincibility, seemingly free, yet the inner sorrow and helplessness, those involved surely deeply understand. To cut ties is incredibly difficult, after experiencing so much bloodshed, the yearning for inner peace grows more intense." Mengyao remarked softly.

"You’ve spoken quite politely, very tactfully. I’ve heard another layer of meaning from your words: a person without attachments is no different from a living corpse. Only with emotions and familial joy does one have the most basic form of survival." Gu Qiong expressed sentimentally: "Hence, the part of Ye Fan I envy is that I live like a zombie, pretending not to have feelings when clearly I do, having concerns yet forced to appear cold and unfeeling, Ye Fan’s predicament may not be great, but he lives as a human while I live neither human nor ghost."

Mengyao became silent, unsure of what to say. Gu Qiong spoke so candidly she didn’t know how to respond.

Gu Qiong laughed casually, suppressing his emotions and said lightly: "I’ve digressed, let’s not talk about unnecessary topics. Tell me, what’s your plan, how can I assist you?"

"You support from the shadows; if facing unsolvable troubles, you’ll have to step in." Mengyao responded unreservedly.

"Alright, no problem." Gu Qiong agreed and then urged: "You should leave now. To avoid leaving clues and arousing suspicion, try not to meet too often, just keep in touch. You are quite a sensitive person now."

"Then I’ll take my leave." Mengyao and her group departed.

Gu Qiong quietly sipped tea, then smiled and said: "This time, it truly will be a drama with each displaying their own unique abilities. If Tang Jian’an and the bigwigs’ actions can be temporarily ignored, then God Organization, Sky Net Organization, Netherworld Organization, and other miscellaneous fish will surely surface. Zhuhai City will soon become a battleground, all parties will enter the stage."

He considered deeply, immediately sensing an extraordinary atmosphere, believing that as news of Ye Fan’s incident spreads, all factions will be unable to hold back and eager to act.

Gu Qiong was uncertain of his role in it all, yet so far, his usefulness hasn’t been significant.

To shine, it depends on the situation.

Considering Zhang Lu and others’ prominent appearances, it seems he’ll have to operate in darkness from now on.

"Ye Fan, your luck better be good; such a high cliff with rapids and boulders below. Falling into such a passive situation, the danger is unimaginable; you’ll be lucky to survive. I comforted Chu Mengyao, but I won’t deceive myself; I must ponder over the details." Gu Qiong was naturally quite worried about Ye Fan’s condition.

After pondering much, Gu Qiong finally vanished from the teahouse.

......

Three days later, Ye Fan still hasn’t surfaced.

Under Zhang Lu’s all-encompassing search, every possible measure was used, yet not a trace of Ye Fan was found. This shaded the hearts of searchers with a thick layer of gloom.

During this period, besides Biyao sitting with Zhang Lu, Mengyao led everyone in searching but still had no success.

Those conducting the rescue effort sensed that the person had long perished, fed to unknown fish, but due to overwhelming orders from above, they could only expand the search scope, continuing the meaningless task.

Mengyao and Qiu Wen went outside, tracing along the river, still searching for Ye Fan.

Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, Shen Tingting, and the search leaders had to hold a meeting to discuss further strategies.

"In my opinion, the instructor is likely in grave danger; no matter what wishful thinking we have, miracles won’t happen." Yang Shu felt disheartened, her determination to locate the instructor was eroded by three days of rugged living.

"The people below are quite resentful, thinking this effort is pointless. After all, it’s been three days, failing to find him could be classified as missing, or even worse, not finding a body." Zhang Kui said sullenly.

Yang Shu and Zhang Kui spoke candidly, aware of the instructor’s strength, yet even their deep conviction was worn away, doubting if the instructor could really be unharmed.

"Search, we must continue searching, not only search but mobilize all forces, leaving no possibility unexplored." Shen Tingting and Qian Weiguo spoke in unison.

They knew Ye Fan’s identity, hence their perspective differed from Yang Shu and Zhang Kui.

"I’m the general leader, and I don’t want to hear any complaints. Until we find Ye Fan, we mustn’t relax for a moment. Remember, do not slack off; if dissatisfied, submit a report above, but what I say is an order, non-negotiable." Zhang Lu said firmly.

Facing Zhang Lu’s assertiveness, Yang Shu and Zhang Kui could only remain silent.
