Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Someone’s Concern

Zhang Lu saw Ye Fan to the villa entrance, then drove off alone. Ye Fan silently and stealthily entered the villa.

Soon, Zhang Lu received a call from her superiors, it was from Old Fu.

Old Fu first showered Zhang Lu with praise and commendation, then said, "For capturing K12 alive and killing Horikawa Sei and others, you’ve earned a first-class merit. When you return to the organization, I will personally award you."

Zhang Lu gave a bitter smile and earnestly inquired, "The task of protecting Professor Zhao is complete. Should I return to the team?"

A first-class merit, such an honor, yet Zhang Lu couldn’t feel any joy.

"No rush. Recently, Red Skull has been especially arrogant, with dozens of children missing. Keep a close eye on this matter. Start with K12; see if you can find a breakthrough and dismantle the Blood Rose’s human trafficking network in one fell swoop," Old Fu spoke with a tone of gravity.

Red Skull is the code name of a woman whose true identity remains a mystery, quite enigmatic. She is the head of Blood Rose in Huaxia, and K12 is one of Red Skull’s trusted aides. Now that K12 is captured, if we can extract useful intelligence from him, we can unravel the web and deliver a huge blow to Red Skull’s human trafficking organization.

"How should I proceed?" Zhang Lu asked.

"Proceed boldly with what you need to do. Whatever support you need, I’ll provide unconditionally. Law enforcement and relevant troops are at your disposal," Old Fu stated lightly.

"Yes, I assure the completion of the task," Zhang Lu replied loudly. She understood that the power mobilized to track down Red Skull exceeded that for protecting Professor Zhao, and the burden on her shoulders was by no means light.

"The investigation on the Terminator cannot be rushed. Just keep an eye out. Moreover, if you encounter difficulties, you may seek help from that friend. Try your best to recruit him to our team," Old Fu spoke this way, referring naturally to Ye Fan. Old Fu was unaware of Ye Fan’s role in Zhang Lu’s completed mission, but Zhang Lu valued Ye Fan, which made Old Fu concerned.

Zhang Lu had considerable authority. Taking the research institute case as an example, she deliberately concealed Ye Fan’s contribution and then reported it to the organization. Someone like Company Commander Gao wouldn’t speak out. Having signed a confidentiality agreement for missions like those of the research institute, to Company Commander Gao, Zhang Lu represented the organization.

Zhang Lu had also investigated Ye Fan. The files showed a blank slate, more precisely, a black account, with household information processed by Chu Mengyao, leaving almost no trace of Ye Fan online.

Given Ye Fan’s capabilities and the absence of any adverse records, it’s not hard to guess that Ye Fan must have experienced major military operations, possibly even as a mercenary. Therefore, the organization also wanted to recruit Ye Fan.

Neither Old Fu nor Zhang Lu knew that the Terminator whom the organization sought to investigate was right under their noses.

"I’ll make an effort to see if he can join our team, but in my opinion, he’s unlikely to join the organization. Moreover, asking for his help is almost impossible unless we offer some trade, like with the research institute issue, where I shared Professor Zhao’s secret research location with Chu Group, only then did Ye Fan agree to assist me. He’s opportunistic, with a typical merchant’s mentality," Zhang Lu described Ye Fan as someone who wouldn’t act without interest, doing so to help Chu Group indirectly. In the future, when requesting Ye Fan’s assistance, the organization could help Chu Group in business as part of the transaction, achieving the best of both worlds.

"I don’t care how you do it, just make sure you complete the task. No amount of help to Chu Group is too much if you can get results. We highly value you among us old guys, and I hope that one day you can take over from me. To shut some people’s mouths, the more merits you achieve, the better. Understood?" Old Fu advised earnestly.

"I know what to do." Zhang Lu agreed with a mix of tears and laughter and ended the call.

She also understood Old Fu’s unstated message, leveraging achievements to rise. Her identity was significant, but she didn’t want to rely on her lineage. She desired to serve the organization and the people through her genuine abilities. Her skills in all aspects were undoubtedly strong, and she was willing to endure hardship. But having witnessed Ye Fan’s abilities, she realized there was still much to learn.

"Seems like I need to find a suitable opportunity to learn more skills from Ye Fan." Zhang Lu thought, her face showing contemplation. In terms of her completed series of tasks, capturing Snow Mastiff was beyond her capabilities. If she didn’t learn some real skills, it wouldn’t be well-received by some people.

More importantly, Zhang Lu wanted to enhance herself, with the primary focus on improving her skills, which would also rely on Ye Fan’s guidance.

When Ye Fan returned to the villa, it was already dawn. As he prepared breakfast, Chu Mengyao had woken up.

Chu Mengyao came downstairs from the second floor, paused upon seeing the breakfast on the table, and then was overjoyed. She knew her sister was still lazing in bed; at this time, besides Ye Fan, there couldn’t be anyone else making breakfast.

Besides, her sister couldn’t cook at all.

Chu Mengyao, with joy in her heart, stood outside the kitchen with her arms crossed, watching Ye Fan busily, her expression full of delight.

"You’re up," Ye Fan tenderly looked at Mengyao.

"Mm." Chu Mengyao nodded sweetly, curiously asking, "Didn’t Zhang Lu say it would take about three days to complete the task? Why did you return so quickly?"

"Finished the task ahead of schedule, drove back through the night," Ye Fan explained.

"Oh." Chu Mengyao didn’t say much, but her expression said plenty. Though Ye Fan had been away from the villa for less than twenty-four hours in total, during this short period, Chu Mengyao’s yearning had brewed intensely. At this moment, seeing Ye Fan, she couldn’t be happier.

"Is Biyao not up yet?" Ye Fan inquired proactively.

"I’ll go call her." Chu Mengyao walked away.

Soon, Chu Biyao rushed crazily to Ye Fan and shouted, "Ye Fan brother-in-law, is it really you?"

"Your eyes aren’t playing tricks; I’m right in front of you." Ye Fan replied helplessly.

Chu Biyao pinched Ye Fan, hitting the flesh, as Ye Fan remarked bitterly, "What are you doing? You seem perfectly normal, so why pinch me out of nowhere?"

"Why didn’t you yell when I pinched you?" Chu Biyao raised her chin.

"Your strength is too small to hurt me," Ye Fan sincerely stated.

"Tch, no fun. At least pretend to yell, so I know whether I’m dreaming or not." Chu Biyao yawned, quirking, "Someone wasn’t in the villa last night, and my dear sister was missing him so much that she couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning all night, giving me panda eyes."

Chu Mengyao blushed, pulling her sister away to wash up.

Ye Fan felt warmth in his heart, watching Chu Mengyao’s figure, slightly lost in thought, his face radiating joy.
