Chapter 100: Chapter 97 Would You Keep Me Company?After Zhao Shiyan came to her senses, she realized that Ye Fan wasn’t indifferent to her life or death. He was cold and ruthless to save her, and only by holding onto Ye Fan could she find a sense of security.

    Ye Fan’s figure flickered, and Zhao Shiyan’s embrace was in vain. She couldn’t even get close to Ye Fan, let alone hold him.

    "I like you so much, but you, this bad person, can’t see it. I’ve walked around the brink of life and death, so what’s wrong with hugging you? You act like it’s a big loss or something, so annoying." Zhao Shiyan felt even more wronged and cried louder. After some internal grievance, she looked at Professor Zhao and trembled, "Dad!"

    "Daughter." Professor Zhao rushed to his daughter.

    The father and daughter hugged each other, crying together.

    Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao didn’t worry about Zhao Shiyan’s feelings. Ye Fan was under no obligation to take care of Zhao Shiyan. They understood this point. Even though Zhao Shiyan was a beauty, so what? Not all beauties are loved.

    K12’s body trembled on the ground. This defeat was total, a terrible loss. Ultimately, it was all thanks to Ye Fan. Even when Horikawa Sei held Zhao Shiyan hostage, there was still hope to complete the mission. But they misjudged the situation, underestimated Ye Fan’s terrifying strength, which led to this complete defeat.

    After half an hour, the gunfire outside the research institute stopped.

    A soldier appeared in the operations room, reporting with excitement, "There were fifty-two enemies attacking the research institute. Fifty-one were killed, and one infiltrated the institute..."

    The soldier stopped talking because he saw the corpse of the one who infiltrated the research institute, which was Horikawa Sei. He also discovered the presence of K12. The soldier was quite puzzled. Where did Assistant Li go? How did an injured woman suddenly appear?

    The soldier didn’t know many things and naturally didn’t ask much, just reported the battle results and casualties.

    "Dismissed." After the soldier finished, Company Commander Gao ordered.

    "Yes!" The soldier left, but before leaving, he looked at Ye Fan with great respect.

    "The two people protecting Zhao Shiyan died, and including the attack before Ye Fan arrived, a total of five people died." Company Commander Gao sighed in a low voice. It was a great victory, an unprecedented triumph, with extraordinary achievements. But thinking about the fallen comrades, Company Commander Gao couldn’t feel happy.

    "This is my fault. I didn’t think things through; otherwise, those two soldiers wouldn’t have died." Ye Fan said.

    "You’re slapping me in the face. If it weren’t for you, who knows how many people would have died? And yet, you’re blaming yourself. If that were the case, I’d have no face to live either." Company Commander Gao felt ashamed.

    "If anyone’s to blame, it’s me. I arranged for those two soldiers to protect Zhao Shiyan, and I chose Zhao Shiyan’s hiding place. Without assigning guards, it wouldn’t have drawn attention." Zhang Lu blamed herself.

    Horikawa Sei was just lucky; otherwise, those two soldiers wouldn’t have died tragically.

    Ye Fan killed Horikawa Sei, the first person he killed since setting foot in Huaxia. As for the assassins of the Poisonous Spider, he merely incapacitated them.

    "The few who died are all martyrs. Just give enough condolence money to their families, it’s not a big deal." Professor Zhao said casually, without paying any attention to the lives of the dead soldiers.

    Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao’s expressions turned cold, and they looked at Professor Zhao with great displeasure. The fallen soldiers were indeed martyrs, and providing condolence money was a given, but martyrs deserve respect. Professor Zhao’s attitude greatly dissatisfied the two.

    If Professor Zhao hadn’t spoken up, it would have been fine, but he couldn’t help but make light of it. If Professor Zhao were not the person to be protected, not to mention Company Commander Gao, even Zhang Lu would have the mind to give Professor Zhao a few kicks to teach him how to respect the lives of martyrs.

    The two ignored Professor Zhao, really having no mood to deal with such a person.

    Not considering whom the fallen soldiers died protecting, Professor Zhao’s words were truly disheartening.

    In the blink of an eye, it was three in the morning. The research institute was safe, and Professor Zhao was also safe.

    The enemy’s attack failed. Organizing such an assault required long preparation, and all Blood Rose members involved in the action were captured. Outside, only the enemy Nagatani Meiaki remained at large.

    Especially K12 and Horikawa Sei, the loss of important Blood Rose members caused great damage to Blood Rose. At this time, even if Blood Rose had personnel, they would not dare to act rashly, let alone launch an attack on the research institute without sufficient manpower.

    Nagatani Meiaki, filled with desolation, vanished into the night. She understood one thing: all the people attacking the research institute had died, and even the deeply hidden K12 was exposed, so she had to leave.

    However, her heart was full of anger. She originally had a clear grasp of the situation inside the research institute, but now, such a situation occurred. Nagatani Meiaki attributed the failure to Ye Fan. Since the appearance of this mysterious man, so many unexpected changes happened. Sёar?h the n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Therefore, Nagatani Meiaki had a pressing idea in her mind: find out about Ye Fan and then kill this troublesome Ye Fan. It was the most urgent task at present. Blood Rose, wanting to do something, had never found it impossible.

    "Now that there’s nothing for me to do, I’ll leave first. Will you drive me, or should I go back myself?" Ye Fan looked at Zhang Lu.

    "The crisis has been resolved. All the personnel that we know attacked the research institute have been captured, except for that mysterious hacker. My mission is complete. I’ll drive you back." Zhang Lu immediately got ready to leave. Since she drove Ye Fan here, she naturally had to personally drive him back.

    "Brother Ye, when you have time in the future, I’ll treat you to a drink." Company Commander Gao was sincerely reluctant. He very much wanted Ye Fan to teach him a few moves, but since Ye Fan was leaving, he naturally wouldn’t ask him to stay. Besides, someone like Ye Fan, a secret operative, had many important things to do. According to organizational principles, he wouldn’t cling to him.

    Actually, at this time, returning to the villa, Ye Fan could just help Chu Mengyao and her sister prepare breakfast.

    If Company Commander Gao knew what his hero was doing next, he would certainly vomit blood.

    In Company Commander Gao’s mind, Ye Fan was a mysterious operative of the organization, not realizing that Ye Fan wasn’t part of the organization at all.

    "Alright." Ye Fan gave Company Commander Gao a meaningful look.

    "Brother Ye Fan, can you stay with me a little longer?" Zhao Shiyan pleaded pitifully.

    "There are so many soldier brothers here; let them accompany you. I have things to do, so I’m leaving." After saying this, Ye Fan turned and left.

    "Dad, why doesn’t he like me?" Zhao Shiyan cried in grievance.

    "Don’t worry. Even if I have to force him, I’ll make him like you." Professor Zhao said with confidence, contemplating a solution.

    "Really?" Zhao Shiyan asked expectantly.

    "Of course it’s true." Professor Zhao replied firmly.
