My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1309: Trust Your Man

Old Fu achieved his goal; Ye Fan agreed to his request, which was more important than anything.As for Ye Fan’s sense of belonging, Old Fu couldn’t guess, nor could he understand how Ye Fan truly felt.

Simply, he decided not to randomly speculate on Ye Fan’s thoughts.

Ye Fan agreed readily, mostly considering past connections. Indeed, Old Fu had provided her with a lot of assistance, both openly and covertly. With this friendship in place, there was no way she could refuse when he needed her help now.

Moreover, for public and private reasons, he had to step forward; it was inevitable.

Chi Qinyuan’s body needed to be retrieved, and to minimize sacrifices as much as possible, Ye Fan couldn’t ignore it.

"With Mr. Ye personally involved in the operation, overseeing everything, I feel relieved." Old Fu said gratefully, "I thank Mr. Ye in advance."

"No need to thank me, it’s what I should do." Ye Fan replied calmly, "Zhang Lu told me she wants to be involved in the operation as well. What do you think about this?"

"This..." Old Fu hesitated, insincerely saying, "The intentions of Zhang Lu and the others are good, but this operation is highly unusual, not a typical crisis situation, and carries significant risks. Even if I agree, others must too, considering Zhang Lu and others’ sensitive identities, I’m not sure if I should agree."

Old Fu was being honest. Given the identities of Zhang Lu and the others, such a risky operation was genuinely something Old Fu couldn’t decide on.

Zhang Lu wanted to participate, but it wasn’t just her; it was a collective decision of her six-person team, including Yang Shu, Zhang Kui, Shen Tingting, Qian Weiguo, and Gao Qiang. This decision required Old Fu’s cautious consideration.

"What do you mean, you can’t expect me to go alone and finish your so-called mission, right?" Ye Fan said, "Zhang Lu’s six-person team has people with high-status identities; you can’t say just because of their backgrounds they can’t participate in dangerous missions and must leave potentially sacrificial tasks to those without backgrounds."

"Mr. Ye, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean that. The key is that this operation must remain confidential; we can’t disclose the identities of our personnel, and throughout the mission, they will be in disguise. The participants’ identities will be unrecognized, and no one will acknowledge their existence." Old Fu, finding it difficult, after a moment of confusion, finally said, "I’ve agreed to Zhang Lu and her team’s participation, and I’ll persuade those with other ideas."

Old Fu had no choice but to agree to Zhang Lu and the others’ request to take part in the operation. Since it was Zhang Lu and her team’s initiative, those opposing opinions could always be suppressed with a suitable excuse.

Especially with Ye Fan’s words, Old Fu had no reason to refuse; after all, it would be unfair to exclude those with backgrounds from dangerous missions. In a situation where fairness was already scarce, Old Fu had to comply.

Old Fu’s worries weren’t unnecessary. At worst, he’d argue with some old comrades later.

But for now, he had to agree to Zhang Lu and her team’s request, and couldn’t show favoritism.

"Zhang Lu earnestly made this request to me, so I naturally have to speak of it." Ye Fan said calmly, "Besides, I’m familiar with Zhang Lu, and we cooperate well, which is crucial for handling dangerous situations."

"Let’s proceed as you suggest." Old Fu agreed, "Besides Zhang Lu and her team, a portion of Qin Yi’s Longyin Team will also join the operation. Consider how many people you think are appropriate."

He didn’t mention another pre-decided group for the operation, as Zhang Lu and her team had already replaced them, making further explanation unnecessary.

"Quality over quantity; let Qin Yi lead about ten people to join us. Since it’s a small unit operation, mobility is essential for secrecy and concealment." Ye Fan said.

"Alright, I’ll instruct Qin Yi to prepare." Old Fu said, "We’ll meet all your requirements. If there’s anything specific needed, bring it up."

"There’s no special requirement; with the personnel settled, I can personally lead the mission." Ye Fan said lightly, "However, I’m still oblivious to the enemy’s specific situation."

"On this point, upon reaching your destination, Old Master Chu will personally explain it to you as he knows the details." Old Fu’s goal was to mobilize Ye Fan for the mission, but he wasn’t too informed about the actual situation.

After all, Old Master Chu and Old Fu weren’t under the same system, and they managed different domains.

Ye Fan didn’t ask further questions.

Ye Fan and Mengyao watched as Old Fu and Fu Huixia left.

"Heading out again?" Mengyao asked Ye Fan with concern.

"Yes." Ye Fan answered, then curiously said, "Your grandfather is quite old, yet he doesn’t settle down and keeps running around. This time, I’m to execute a mission under Old Master Chu’s direct leadership."

Old Master Chu was, naturally, Mengyao’s grandfather, Chu Erzhu.

"Since childhood, I barely have any memory of grandfather." Mengyao smiled bitterly, "He’s dedicated his entire life to the troops and the country, with little care for family, and rarely spent time with us."

"This old fellow’s reached retirement age, yet he’s still giving counsel; it looks like he can’t stay idle and wants to keep contributing till he can’t anymore." Ye Fan said, deeply impressed.

"Having been busy in one position for most of his life, it’s unrealistic to expect him to suddenly rest." Mengyao said, giving Ye Fan a side glance, scolding, "How could you say that? My grandfather is also your grandfather, so don’t keep calling him old fellow; it’s rude."

"Alright, I’ll be mindful." Ye Fan replied with a smile.

"By the way, will it be dangerous this time?" Mengyao asked worriedly. From Fu Huixia’s words, she realized the danger level might be high.

"Don’t worry, there’s nothing I can’t handle; trust your man, I won’t come to any harm." Ye Fan assured confidently.

"What do you mean, man? We’re not married yet." Mengyao retorted verbally, but felt sweet inside.

"Soon, soon, once I return, we’ll start preparing for marriage." Ye Fan said seriously; he’d been considering it for a while. Now with no more dangerous foes, it’s time to settle down, and marriage should naturally be a priority.

"You haven’t proposed yet, and you want to get married? Not a chance." Mengyao said with a smile, "Let’s talk about it when you return safely."

Just as Ye Fan and Mengyao were discussing marriage, Zhang Lu and others hurried in, breaking the peaceful and happy moment.
