Chapter 213: Chapter 210: Red Skull Sets Up a Killing TrapIt quickly spread within the company that Du Xueqi had become Chu Mengyao’s new secretary.

    This time when Chu Mengyao went to the company, she was no longer disturbed by Meng Hao and Ji Tian. Both of them understood that Mengyao was not in a good mood during this time, and pestering her would only backfire, especially for Meng Hao. He had someone kidnap Shen Yahut first, and after that, something happened to Shen Yahut, which made him feel guilty. Naturally, he couldn’t risk showing up in front of Chu Mengyao now.

    Although Meng Hao had erased any traces that might lead back to him, he still thought it best to keep a low profile just in case.

    Chu Mengyao didn’t know that Meng Hao had kidnapped Shen Yahut, but Ye Fan had gathered some clues. Connecting Wu Dahai to the Fierce Tiger Gang and then to Meng Hao, and considering his own conflict with Meng Hao, he had no goodwill towards him.

    Ye Fan didn’t have direct evidence to confirm the suspects in Ye Juanjuan’s abduction and Shen Yahut’s kidnapping.

    However, he only knew that these matters had crossed his line. If he got solid evidence, he wouldn’t hesitate to act.

    He wouldn’t care what kind of background Ji Tian and Meng Hao had. If he found out they had done something foolish, he would make them pay swiftly, ensuring such things wouldn’t happen again.

    "Investigate Du Xueqi’s situation, starting with her hobbies." Meng Hao and Ji Tian instructed their men.

    Both of them wanted to get close to Chu Mengyao, and naturally, they had to start by ingratiating themselves with her secretary.

    Meanwhile, Red Skull and Nagatani Meiaki, codenamed k1, were planning further action.

    Ye Fan’s appearance had disrupted the human trafficking network and eliminated all of Red Skull’s key aides, which made Red Skull determined to find an opportunity to eliminate Ye Fan, in order to maintain and develop the trafficking network.

    If Ye Fan wasn’t dealt with, not to mention Red Skull’s anger, the human trafficking network they operated would also face serious threats.

    "Chu Mengyao is vying for the Jinluo Bay project. We can use this as leverage by inviting the mayor, a heavyweight guest, to a charity event, then sending Chu Mengyao an invitation. Surely, she will attend, giving me a chance to connect with her and find the right opportunity to personally take action. After approaching Chu Mengyao, I will get rid of Ye Fan." Red Skull came up with a new scheme after planning.

    "Do you need my cooperation?" Nagatani Meiaki pondered briefly, and couldn’t find any flaws in Red Skull’s plan.

    "For now, you should stay hidden and avoid revealing your tracks. If Ye Fan realizes you’ve resurfaced, he could trace the clues back to your location, and that would be troublesome," Red Skull said confidently. "From the current information, Ye Fan’s hacking skills are definitely on par with, if not superior to, yours. A slight oversight could lead him to pinpoint your IP address and trace back to your hideout. It’s evident."

    "If there’s a chance, I’d like to face off with him again. I’m not afraid of Huaxia Country’s top hacker, let alone Ye Fan," Nagatani Meiaki said dismissively, not considering Ye Fan as a threat to her hacking skills.

    A hint of displeasure appeared on Red Skull’s exquisite face as she coldly said, "I don’t need your interference in my planned attack. If you mess up my plan, I’ll make sure you don’t live to return to Blood Rose Headquarters. You’ve already lost to Ye Fan once. If you’re dissatisfied, find another chance to compete, but only if I haven’t killed Ye Fan by then. However, that possibility doesn’t exist, as Ye Fan is destined to die by my hands. So, restrain yourself."

    "I know what to do, I won’t act on my own." Nagatani Meiaki bowed her head.

    "When the time comes, you will assist me in the operation." Red Skull looked towards k1.

    "Yes." k1 responded solemnly.

    At Chu Group, Du Xueqi was left at the company, while Ye Fan took Chu Mengyao off work early.

    Ye Fan received a text from Chu Biyao and decided to take Chu Mengyao to Yucai School’s amusement park. It would help Mengyao forget her worries and sorrows. Honestly, he didn’t expect to find such a good way to make Mengyao happy; it was Chu Biyao’s clever idea.

    Seeing Chu Mengyao looking dejected, Ye Fan noted it inwardly and felt anxious.

    "Where are you taking me?" Chu Mengyao asked helplessly in the car.

    "To play! Roller coasters, pirate ships, Ferris wheels... Yucai School’s amusement park has it all. I’ll play with you until you’re satisfied, helping you quickly shake off the sadness from your heart," Ye Fan said confidently.

    Chu Mengyao pondered for a moment and said, "I don’t want to go."

    "Even if you don’t want to go, you have to. I’ll drag you there if necessary, surely you won’t disregard my effort," Ye Fan replied authoritatively.

    "Sigh, is this really necessary?" Chu Mengyao sighed, her face showing an expression of helplessness. "Actually, I think it’s fitting to be a little sad sometimes. It’s the best way to say goodbye to a loved one. Shen Yahut was like a sister to me, so isn’t it normal to feel sorrowful? I know seeing me sad makes you uneasy too, but there’s no need for you to counsel me. I’ll get over it eventually."

    Chu Mengyao was quite rational, with her own perspective and reasoning.

    "Those who pass away live on in our hearts. To me, Shen Yahut isn’t truly gone. Remembering her is enough; what’s the use of being sad? Apart from making yourself unhappy, can you really bring Shen Yahut back?" Ye Fan said seriously.

    "I understand what you’re saying, but fine, let’s go have fun then." Chu Mengyao smiled faintly and said, "I think you just want an excuse to play and drag me along with you."

    "You could see it that way," Ye Fan said, staring at Chu Mengyao. "Isn’t it nice to smile a little? A serious face makes those around you unable to be happy either. Is this how you pay tribute to those who’ve passed?"

    Chu Mengyao turned her face away, unable to resist smiling secretly.

    "You’re quite clever, thinking of this way to bring me out to play," Chu Mengyao softly praised.

    She had to admit, Ye Fan’s idea was great; just being in the carefree environment of Yucai School was enough to help her forget her worries and find peace.

    "Actually, this was Biyao’s suggestion to me," Ye Fan confessed truthfully.

    "You’re so heartless," Chu Mengyao scolded. "Can’t you come up with ideas yourself? Why do you need your sister to prompt you every time? Seeing me unhappy, you can’t think of a single thing to do? Do you want to see me sad to make yourself happy?"

    After saying this, Chu Mengyao turned to look out the window. She knew that Ye Fan’s face must be very expressive right now. In fact, she said it intentionally. Thinking about Ye Fan’s frustrated and embarrassed face made her happier than ever.

    That part, Ye Fan didn’t know.

    This was much more effective than Biyao suggesting Ye Fan bring her out to play. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
