My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 807: Suicide

Fu Lao and Xiaolong both looked increasingly grim. Dai Zhanpeng privately contacted Chi Qinyuan, which would undoubtedly expose Ye Fan’s identity publicly. If a capable hacker intercepted their communication, the revelation of Ye Fan’s identity could be monumental.Even if they luckily evaded hacker surveillance, the operators as intermediaries would certainly be aware of Dai Zhanpeng and Chi Qinyuan’s exchange. If this potential threat isn’t resolved, it could lead to endless repercussions.

"The situation hasn’t yet spiraled beyond our control." Xiaolong anxiously made a phone call, directly issuing firm commands. Everyone at Hidden Dragon Base became busy, eliminating all risks in their infancy.

With just one phone call from Xiaolong, the entire Hidden Dragon Base was operating frantically, with each team exerting its capabilities and taking action.

Xiaolong, filled with deep concern, said, "I don’t know how Mr. Ye is doing. Is he in danger? Poisoning is no small matter; it can easily lead to death."

"We mustn’t forget that Mr. Ye is the Terminator, with survival skills beyond others’ imagination, mastering the technique of harnessing human potential to perfection. Controlling poison spread or even expelling it from the body is probably a trivial matter." Fu Lao spoke lightly, almost blindly trusting Ye Fan, though he couldn’t completely hide his deep-seated worries.

"Hopefully, Mr. Ye will turn peril into safety and won’t end up with a lingering ailment. Otherwise, our guilt would be immense, and regaining Mr. Ye’s goodwill would be fraught with difficulties." Xiaolong also worried deeply, having no confidence in how far Ye Fan could control the poison, clinging only to hope.

He switched topics and continued, "From the current situation, Chi Qinyuan has greatly disappointed us. We delivered this threat to Mr. Ye ourselves, hoping that Chi Qinyuan could discern right from wrong and put past grudges behind her. But she still hasn’t escaped the shadow of revenge, making our situation exceedingly awkward."

"Indeed, Chi Qinyuan is too reckless," Xiaolong shook his head helplessly before seriously saying, "Alright, let’s not consider these matters for now. Zhang Lu is at the base, and I trust she can clean up the aftermath. Our task is to resolve the threat posed by the Dai Family. Mistakes must be punished, it’s inevitable."

"I’ve already made preparations," Xiaolong said, poised to act.

"You personally take action, severely punish the Dai Anping brothers without leniency," Fu Lao issued the command.

"I’ll act immediately." Xiaolong quickly set into motion.

...

Xiaolong first visited Dai Anping, who at that moment knew nothing about his son’s actions and death. Yet, upon seeing Xiaolong, Dai Anping’s heart trembled, sensing that something major must have happened, otherwise Xiaolong wouldn’t have come personally to see him.

When leaders of Hidden Dragon and other bases privately visit someone, bloodshed is bound to follow; this has become an unwritten rule within the organization, silently acknowledged over the years.

"You’ve come to kill me, haven’t you?" Dai Anping spoke, his voice heavy and indescribably desolate.

"You’re exaggerating." Xiaolong didn’t state his intentions, finding it too insensitive to be blunt.

"I understand," Dai Anping admitted, recognizing Xiaolong’s purpose, and dejectedly said, "Can you let me die knowing why?"

"Your noble son made a grave mistake, deploying a hundred troops from your brother to attack the base. From any standpoint, that’s not significant; everyone could turn a blind eye. But your son used Mr. Ye’s identity to threaten him and almost exposed Mr. Ye’s identity publicly, leading to him being killed by Mr. Ye," Xiaolong slowly explained, "More seriously, your son secretly contacted Chi Qinyuan, greatly risking exposure of Mr. Ye’s identity, and Mr. Ye was already poisoned, presumed to be Chi Qinyuan’s doing."

"That ’noble son’ is a complete scoundrel," Dai Anping spat out in disappointment.

"That bastard never listened to me. I risked my life leaking secrets for what? So he’d grow up understanding things, yet now he’s brought calamity upon the Dai Family."

"My younger brother indulged my son, allowing him to act lawlessly," Dai Anping said through tears and despair.

His emotions were incredibly complex at this moment, filled with disappointment, sighs, sorrow—an overwhelming mix of sentiments.

Compared to the Dai Family’s survival, Dai Zhanpeng’s death seemed insignificant.

"What does Fu Lao think?" Dai Anping asked, downtrodden.

"He’s very disappointed in you. I’ve received orders to punish you severely without leniency," Xiaolong patiently awaited Dai Anping’s wise decision, rather than hastily taking action.

"I’ve failed Fu Lao’s trust, deserving death, having brought him great trouble—I was wrong." Closing his eyes, tears streamed down Dai Anping’s face as he painfully said, "I’m willing to accept death, but will this disaster affect the entire Dai Family?"

"No," Xiaolong reassured, "Fu Lao is merciful, only intending to severely punish the principal offenders."

"I see," Dai Anping showed an understanding demeanor, requesting, "Please grant me my last bit of dignity, letting me end myself."

Xiaolong turned away indifferently, leaving Dai Anping alone in the room.

Just as Xiaolong closed the door, gunfire rang out.

Dai Anping swiftly ended his life, unwilling to let Xiaolong wait long. As a veteran, in such a situation, he chose death as a release, no longer needing to ponder further, securing the Dai Family’s survival.

Xiaolong pushed the door open, finding Dai Anping’s body slumped over a desk, blood flowing.

He had to check, to ensure nothing was overlooked.

Gazing at Dai Anping’s corpse, Xiaolong paused for three seconds before resolutely leaving.

Departing Dai Anping’s residence, he headed directly for Dai Anping’s brother.

The second brother of Dai Zhanpeng, the Dai Family’s second elder, was anxious; his men had vanished without a trace, Dai Zhanpeng lost contact—all of which indicated unforeseen developments, causing his panic.

"What happened?" Dai Family’s second elder worriedly muttered.

When Xiaolong privately visited, he fell like his soul had been drained, collapsing instantly.

"Something happened, something major happened; my Dai Family cannot escape this disaster, even if survival is possible, downfall is certain." Dai Family’s second elder murmured despondently.

After Xiaolong revealed his intentions and explained the situation, to secure the Dai Family’s survival space, Dai Family’s second elder also chose suicide.
