My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Turning Enemies Into Friends

Peng Bird, Mountain Ghost, Flower Snake, and Hua Diao left, and the people Liwei had ambushed around also withdrew.

In the car, the four of them didn’t look very good; their reputation had taken a harsh hit, leaving them in disgrace.

"Leader, what do you think of those pretending to be us?" Flower Snake asked grimly, taking a deep breath.

"Their origins are mysterious, and they seem to be deliberately targeting the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps. They must have a special mission, either a vendetta or some responsibility." Peng Bird said bluntly.

"Then why did they think of impersonating us?" Hua Diao asked puzzled.

Among the four, only Peng Bird had negotiated with Ye Fan, so the others could only ask Peng Bird about what they didn’t understand. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Peng Bird replied leisurely, "Naturally, it’s because we withdrew from the underworld and have always kept a low profile, which gave others the opportunity to impersonate us. By pretending to be us, they can conceal their true identity and background."

"Isn’t it just a dispute? Why go to so much trouble? Why not directly attack the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps?" Flower Snake said displeased. "With such formidable strength, they still act secretly. I really don’t understand what they’re thinking."

"Some things cannot be done from one’s own stance and identity to avoid causing disputes, especially when it involves diplomacy and politics. Keep in mind, the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps is deeply rooted in M Country, influential in both the black and white worlds. So, to surrounding countries, they are like a malignant tumor." Peng Bird pondered, "Perhaps this time, the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps offended someone they shouldn’t have, or someone wants to eliminate this great enemy, hence the seven impostors emerged out of nowhere, aiming to annihilate the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps. There is no other possibility."

"Could it be that those impersonating us are from Huaxia Country?" Mountain Ghost exclaimed in shock, "The Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps has always been arrogant on Huaxia’s borders. Now with Huaxia’s warriors fighting overseas to avoid international disputes, they might have sent their people to pose as us to declare war on the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps. This interpretation makes much more sense."

"Don’t say anything without evidence, and even if there is evidence, don’t say such baseless things to avoid trouble for yourself." Peng Bird warned seriously.

Flower Snake’s eyes shifted before smiling, "It seems that Huaxia Country is the biggest suspect in attacking the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps. Is that how you see it too, Leader?"

"No matter how I see it, it’s not something we can intervene in. Keep your mouths shut and don’t let out any unfounded rumors. If we upset them, we could face utter destruction." Peng Bird said with a chill.

"Indeed, Huaxia Country is not something we can underestimate or discuss. We can only play around in this small circle of D Country and some nearby regions. Facing people from Huaxia Country, we’re not qualified." Mountain Ghost muttered oddly.

The four of them had a rough guess in their hearts and grew increasingly wary of Ye Fan and the others.

"Leader, what should we do next?" Hua Diao asked.

"The original plan was to find a way to eliminate the impostors. That would make the real us even more mysterious. Since we intended to retire from the stage, we could naturally disappear without a trace." Peng Bird said reluctantly, "However, after witnessing the power of those seven, I think we must pull back from unrealistic thoughts. In my view, those seven are elite among elites, with formidable combat power. We cannot provoke them, or our end will be tragic."

"They are indeed formidable, especially that man who seems to be the leader. He’s terrifying." Mountain Ghost said with lingering fear, "I can’t imagine anyone in Huaxia being as formidable as him. It’s impossible to find someone matching his strength."

"Huaxia is a vast country with many hidden methods. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent just seven people on such a dangerous mission." Flower Snake said bitterly, "In my opinion, aside from that man, the others are also formidable."

"Let’s not discuss them anymore; consider it a forbidden topic. As long as we don’t provoke them, it’s best. Provide them with useful information if possible. In the end, whether they live or die depends on their own capabilities." Peng Bird said, "If they die at the hands of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps or Peng Bird, we’ll just go along and spread the word that Peng Bird and his men are dead, giving us natural cover. If they survive, they’ll cooperate with us to spread false news of their deaths."

"That’s the result of your negotiations with them, Leader. It certainly benefits us." Mountain Ghost said, "This way, it aligns with Boss Zuo’s intentions."

Peng Bird and the three others no longer held any hostility towards their impostors.

After some sparring, they clearly recognized the strength and terror of the other party, realizing they couldn’t be defeated. They had to retreat and abandon unrealistic thoughts.

...

Ye Fan and his group couldn’t guess Peng Bird and the others’ specific reactions, but he showcased powerful combat skills, easily defeating Mountain Ghost, Flower Snake, and Hua Diao, which was deliberate.

The purpose was naturally to intimidate the opponents. Before striking, they didn’t know the opponents’ identity.

Now that they know, they have a rough understanding and judgment of Peng Bird and his group’s strength.

Especially the vast forces controlled by Peng Bird, which is beyond their comparison and capability.

Securing intelligence support from Peng Bird is more important than anything.

As long as they can avoid becoming enemies with Peng Bird and his group, that’s the best outcome. Having another friend is better than having another enemy.

Clearly, Ye Fan and Peng Bird couldn’t be friends, but they weren’t adversaries either.

"Instructor, what should we do now?" Yang Shu asked, "Our hiding spot has been exposed. Should we stay put or find a new place?"

"Pack up and leave quickly. Even if Peng Bird’s group isn’t our enemy, we can’t expose ourselves under their watchful eyes." Ye Fan said seriously, "Whether Peng Bird’s people have the potential to expose us or not, we can’t afford to be careless."

"According to accurate information from back home, the second in command of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, White Whale, is leading their most mysterious and powerful combat team from M Country to D Country. We might face them soon." Zhang Lu said.

"The enemy in the open must be dealt with, reducing one target will make things a bit easier going forward." Ye Fan said playfully, not taking White Whale and his group seriously at all, rather welcoming such an outcome.
