My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Would Rather Die Than Admit It

The Peng Bird directly revealed its identity in front of Ye Fan and others who were impersonating it.

"How is this possible?"

"How could we encounter something so ridiculous?"

"Weren’t they saying the Peng Bird is very secretive? How secretive could it be to just pop up like that?"

"What are we, the impostors, supposed to do now?"

"If our fake identities get exposed, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion about our true identities?"

The expressions on Zhang Lu and Yang Shu’s faces became quite colorful indeed, extremely complicated.

Ye Fan was equally astonished for a moment, shot a meaningful glance at Zhang Lu and the others, who realized their overreaction might tip off the Peng Bird, so they turned away, leaving everything to Ye Fan to handle.

"How could you possibly know who we are?" Ye Fan said curiously. "Besides, you claim to be the Peng Bird; how do you prove it?"

"Ha, how else should I prove it? Do I need to prove my identity?" Peng Bird chuckled, raising the corners of his mouth, "Throughout the Underworld of D Country, there are few who know my identity."

He looked straight at Ye Fan, amused, "I found you all, naturally confirming your identities, do you still want to deny it blatantly? It doesn’t matter, even if you deny it, it’s no big deal. You are impostors, after all, and everyone knows it."

Peng Bird was in a relaxed mood; the defeat of the Mountain Ghost trio at Ye Fan’s hands had already cost them face.

The intended show of force was not administered to the impostors, but instead, they embarrassed themselves.

At this moment, seeing Ye Fan and the others’ bewildered expressions, how could he not understand that the impersonators were indeed feeling bewildered?

"You say you’re the Peng Bird; what does that have to do with us? We also picked a nickname for ourselves for convenience in the field, and I didn’t know there was another Peng Bird," Ye Fan said, unconcerned, "This Peng Bird is not that Peng Bird, we’re just namesakes, is there anything to be so shocked about?"

Peng Bird, seeing Ye Fan being so candid, genuinely began to suspect, is it really as simple as having the same name?

Still, the peculiar expressions earlier clearly suggested something fishy.

Surely, anyone hearing their namesake would have a similar reaction, which makes sense.

But if that’s the case, then it means that being just namesakes doesn’t carry any deeper meaning. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"You claim it’s just namesakes, yet why does it feel like a load of nonsense to me?" Peng Bird said sternly, "I think someone is using our banner for some shady business, planning to make us take the fall?"

"Take the fall? Ha, you’re overthinking it. We bear no grudges against you; what would we gain from making you take the fall?" Ye Fan replied calmly, "There’s no need for me to make you take the fall. Besides, we are definitely dealing with the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, whether it involves you or not, that’s our business."

"Don’t assume everyone’s a fool. You say it’s only your business, as if it were that simple." Peng Bird smiled and said, "I have a bold guess. Your target is the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, yet due to your identity and background, you cannot reveal it, to avoid disputes and criticism. In that case, your background is not just ordinary, serving the government is evidently logical, utilizing the assassins’ identity to eliminate potential threat targets, that’s a simple deduction."

"Whether our identities happen to be the same name or impersonations is not the crux." Ye Fan said, looking at Peng Bird, "You’ve surrounded us and personally sought us out, is there something you want to say? Speak directly."

Pausing for a while, he playfully said, "If you’re unhappy with us using the name Peng Bird and want to reclaim your name, just draw the lines and we’ll take it."

"It seems you really haven’t realized how precarious your situation is." Peng Bird started accusing, "Do you not know that by impersonating us, you’ve brought us great disasters? My brothers and I have already washed our hands of this lifestyle, but you’ve forced us into the spotlight; do you feel no guilt?"

Peng Bird chastised, "Right, since you’ve decided to impersonate someone else’s identity, how could you possibly care about others’ lives or feel any remorse? Perhaps you think that because my group of assassins operates in such secrecy, and coupled with our lack of recent notoriety, it’s an opportunity to impersonate us to achieve your goals and reach your objectives without feeling guilty."

He was certain the other party was deliberately impersonating and it wasn’t merely a name coincidence.

"You’ve already caused us immense trouble yet insist on covering up your identity, brandishing our banner recklessly?" Peng Bird said harshly, "If so, don’t blame us for being rude. We’re not made of mud; this visit was to talk before taking action. Next time, we may either be friends or foes. We don’t need to take action personally; just revealing your hideout to General Hawan or the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps will bring you endless trouble. We’ve been operating in this region for so long; no matter how deep you hide on my turf, you won’t hide for long."

He angrily said, "Once your hideout is exposed, just wait for General Hawan’s artillery! Of course, the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps isn’t easy to deal with, as you’re aware, and as long as you’re against me, there’s nowhere to run."

Peng Bird intended to attribute the finding of Ye Fan and others’ whereabouts to himself, to strengthen his bargaining chips.

In doing so, it demonstrates the strength of his influence, and the impersonators would surely rethink their position. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"If we’ve caused you trouble, I apologize, and I can only say it’s a case of the same name, with no other intentions." Ye Fan seriously said, "If you insist on going all out against us, we’ll be ready anytime. We’re not afraid of you, and when the time comes, we’ll see who fears who."

Ye Fan playfully said, "You say you’re the Peng Bird, the three outside must also be significant figures. If I were to strike mercilessly, all four of you would surely die before those ambushing outside even get in; do you believe that?"

"You really do have some thick skin; you’ve deceived yourselves into truly believing you are the Peng Bird, huh? Which makes sense since you’re hiding your identity to the death and refusing to admit it, even in death, the true identity mustn’t be exposed," Peng Bird laughed eerily.
