My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 921: Kunpeng Strikes

Zhang Lu’s words were straightforward, but they were all facts and made some sense.

She stared intently at Mengyao and said seriously, "I told you so much for one purpose: to consult with me when making decisions. Don’t you trust me? I even know Ye Fan’s identity, so what if I know about other things?"

"It’s not that I don’t trust you. After all, your identity and position are different, and I’m afraid of putting you in a difficult spot. I also want someone to discuss things with, so I don’t act unilaterally since I might overlook something," Mengyao explained.

"Your thoughts are just like Ye Fan’s; no wonder you two make a pair," Zhang Lu said with a bitter smile.

Mengyao didn’t argue on this point, but asked with concern, "Is Gu Qiong in any danger?"

"Certainly not. Gu Qiong made a mistake on the Tang Family’s territory. All the Tang Family wants is an apology; they won’t resort to drastic actions," Zhang Lu said confidently.

"If that’s the case, I’m relieved. I wouldn’t be at ease if Gu Qiong got involved because of this," Mengyao sighed with relief.

"Gu Qiong is already in deep trouble. For a forbidden figure like him, being forced to apologize is the biggest disgrace and scar besides losing his life. He is paying the price for his actions," Zhang Lu smiled bitterly.

"As long as there’s no danger to life, I’m relieved," Mengyao focused on this issue.

She had a newfound respect for the Tang Family. Even Gu Qiong couldn’t escape their pursuit, suggesting just how formidable the operation of the Tang Family was.

"With the way Tang Venerable operates, just the fact that the Netherworld Organization kidnapped Tang Jian’an’s son would be enough to seal its fate. If the Netherworld people show up on the Tang Family’s territory, it’s a death sentence. Unfortunately, the Tang Family probably won’t be generous enough to help us deal with the Netherworld Organization people. They will likely wait until they’ve had enough fun before taking action," Zhang Lu lamented.

With gains must come losses, and this is the price Mengyao had to pay for killing Guo Xiong.

They lost the potential assistance from the Tang Family. Although this aid would also be for the Tang Family’s honor, it would have relieved the pressure on Mengyao and her group.

As for the Tang Family’s intentions, Mengyao and Zhang Lu could not accurately gauge them and could only let things be.

Zhang Lu secretively divulged some news, saying, "It’s said that Tang Venerable has already cultivated the next forbidden figure to guard the Tang Family. Whether this is true or not is unknown. This person is a renowned Human Body Limit expert from Asia, with quite a reputation in the underground fighting world. After quitting the stage four years ago, he has been following Tang Venerable. He has an exceedingly cheesy but not simple nickname, and everyone respectfully calls him Kunpeng, presumably taken from the saying of Kunpeng flying thousands of miles. This naturally implies that he is guarding the Tang Family from decline and even elevating it to the next level."

"The Tang Family, truly impressive," Mengyao said with some amazement.

...

Flowers blooming everywhere, each with their own unique grace.

Now, let’s look at what Gu Qiong is experiencing.

In the dark, thorny countryside at night.

Gu Qiong was speeding through the night. To put it positively, he was running. To be more realistic, he was fleeing.

Behind Gu Qiong, a figure pursued relentlessly. That person was naturally Kunpeng.

Kunpeng did not have an outstanding appearance and was quite ordinary in a crowd. However, his sharp gaze was like a knife, giving a chilling feeling.

When Tang Jian’an paid respects to Tang Venerable, Tang Venerable ordered Kunpeng to personally investigate the murderer of Guo Xiong.

If the Tang Family wanted to find someone on their own turf, they had plenty of channels and sources. Thus, Gu Qiong’s location was quickly pinpointed.

Kunpeng focused all his attention on Gu Qiong.

This chase and escape lasted for half a day.

Gu Qiong wanted to shake off Kunpeng and hide, but it was futile. He not only failed to escape but also exhausted himself. Of course, Kunpeng was also panting like a bull, clearly tired as well.

After running for another half an hour, Gu Qiong was too exhausted to keep going and had to stop.

"Stop chasing me. What’s the point of you constantly pursuing me?" Gu Qiong panted, bending over with his hands on his knees, catching his breath.

"Run, why aren’t you running?" Kunpeng said coldly, "Of course, it’s interesting. Chasing a forbidden figure like a stray dog, how could it not be interesting?"

"We’re all civilized people; your words lack manners. I’m indignant on behalf of the Tang Family. How could Tang Venerable choose someone like you? Doesn’t that tarnish the Tang Family’s reputation?" Gu Qiong didn’t dare to speak too harshly and could only find some face for himself through words.

"The Tang Family’s civility is for those who are civilized. For someone’s sneaky, disgraceful actions, there’s naturally no civility. Not choosing to surround and kill you is already giving you the greatest dignity," Kunpeng retorted bluntly.

"Unexpectedly, the little character who only knew brute force on the underground fighting stage back then is so extraordinary today. It turns out the outside world’s speculation was not unfounded; he indeed possesses the strength of a forbidden figure. The Tang Family is not to be underestimated. No wonder even the God Organization and the Sky Net Organization keep a low profile on Tang Family’s territory. There are reasons for this; two forbidden figures are not to be provoked. Only the foolish Netherworld Organization dares to court death and go against the Tang Family," these thoughts flashed through Gu Qiong’s mind.

He naturally dared not say these words aloud and could only admit grudgingly, "I indeed lack manners, not enough to warrant the Tang Family’s courtesy."

He had to yield; if he didn’t know when to retreat, he truly wouldn’t be able to withstand the Tang Family’s wrath.

"Tang Venerable said, knowing the current situation is not foolish, knowing the consequence of offending the Tang Family is beyond your bearing, so naturally, you would back down," Kunpeng said unemotionally, as if a machine relaying someone’s words without expression.

"Can we not use the term ’back down’? I know I made a mistake and am willing to apologize and make amends. Since the Tang Family didn’t choose to surround and kill me, it means they don’t want to fight to the death. Let’s all be rational and not carry any emotions; how about we have a good talk?" Gu Qiong said neither humble nor arrogant.

He also understood that if the Tang Family intended to kill him, it would require a significant price.

So, it’s reasonable for both sides to take a step back.

He made a mistake but couldn’t go too far and not give face to the Tang Family. Otherwise, his own face would likely disappear as well.

If the Tang Family truly fought him at any cost, he feared he would die here.

"Okay!" Kunpeng nodded generously.
