My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Birds of a Feather

General Hawan and White Whale appeared harmonious, laughing without a hint of discord, at least, on the surface.

But deep down, White Whale harbored murderous intent towards General Hawan, it’s just not the right time to act yet.

Just as he instructed Amir, using General Hawan’s hand to eliminate Ye Fan and his seven companions together, then it wouldn’t be out of the question to kill General Hawan to avenge Black Shark.

Hawk didn’t allow it, but White Whale planned to act first and report later, and once the established facts were there, Hawk would have no choice but to accept it.

General Hawan couldn’t fathom White Whale’s intentions. Given his understanding of Hawk, he naturally wouldn’t pursue Black Shark’s death, as long as the friendship and mutual benefits remained intact, everything would remain peaceful.

"Your Excellency General, you are the host, do you have news on those seven rogues?" White Whale asked impatiently.

"Not yet. Since Black Shark’s murder, I have had my men scour for information on the seven’s whereabouts, but there has been no progress," General Hawan affirmed. "However, other forces have interfered, and the hiding place of the seven was visited by someone and has since vanished, it’s likely Boss Zuo has intervened."

He was a step behind, finding only Ye Fan’s previous hiding spot after he left, unaware of the new location.

"Boss Zuo intervened, really?" White Whale’s heart jolted.

If true, she must be extra cautious, as the intelligence gathered from the smaller black-market factions she commissioned may be unreliable or even a trap, forcing her to take it seriously.

Boss Zuo, as the underground leader of neighboring forces, naturally, some smaller factions would sell her out to please him.

That suspicion was understandable, and White Whale grasped this logic.

"Indeed, apart from Boss Zuo, I can’t think of anyone else who could have found the seven’s hideout before me," General Hawan declared confidently.

"What business does this Boss Zuo have meddling in our affairs?" White Whale fumed.

"The enemy of one’s enemy is a friend, I’m sure Boss Zuo understands this principle," General Hawan replied irritably. "Boss Zuo and we both have grievances. If someone opposes us, naturally, he’ll aid our enemies."

"These seven rascals pose a significant threat to us, I’m sure Boss Zuo perceived this and aims to suppress our power by employing their hands," White Whale added with extreme anger.

"If Boss Zuo wasn’t so deeply hidden and had control over such a vast force, I’d truly want to wipe him out," General Hawan said, full of murderous intent, which always existed but was thwarted by the fact Boss Zuo wasn’t easy to deal with; if he were, he’d have acted long ago.

Truthfully, he didn’t want to become too rigid against Boss Zuo, as it wouldn’t benefit anyone.

Due to such considerations, many times, he opted for avoidance rather than direct confrontation with Boss Zuo.

Deep down, his fear of Boss Zuo was considerable.

"Boss Zuo’s matter is sidelined for now, our target is those seven rascals. If during this period, Boss Zuo breaches rules to assist them, we won’t be passive," White Whale said coldly.

"Declaring war against Boss Zuo isn’t wise," General Hawan gave White Whale a meaningful glance.

"By the way, haven’t you met those seven outlaws before?" White Whale, diverting her thoughts from Boss Zuo, queried with curiosity: "After being held captive by them, you’ve been in close contact; can you discern their identities and origins?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

General Hawan replied gravely, "To be precise, I’ve seen four of them: one man and three women. The man seems to lead, while I haven’t seen the other three. Judging by appearance alone, I can’t ascertain their identities or nationalities, as they are clearly disguised."

Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting were the four who had held General Hawan captive when Black Shark was killed, while Zhang Kui, Qian Weiguo, and Gao Qiang didn’t show up, explaining why General Hawan only saw four.

"Indeed, as rumored externally, Peng Bird’s group is elusive, it seems true," White Whale sighed.

"Regardless of truth, they are our enemies, they must die," General Hawan stated. "I can confirm that each of the seven has combat prowess not weaker than Captain Black Shark, which is truly daunting."

"Maybe the enemies we face aren’t just seven; Peng Bird’s group might have other accomplices," White Whale continued, "To eliminate the enemy, we must consider all potential threats, to avoid unexpected attacks."

"Miss White Whale’s foresight is commendable," General Hawan complimented but scoffed. "Not to boast, once the foes emerge, I’ll ensure they die without a trace. I’ve assembled artillery units, and once the enemy surfaces, my cannons will strike, regardless who they are, they will perish under my bombardment."

"With your assurance, General Hawan, I’m relieved," White Whale laughed. "I trust that with your capability, you can blow the rogues apart."

"Naturally." General Hawan said pridefully. "The priority now is locating the rogues, sadly, that takes effort; after all, in such a vast area, it’s no easy feat to find a few people. If Boss Zuo has indeed intervened and provided sanctuary, our search becomes even harder."

"I believe Boss Zuo won’t provide refuge to the seven," White Whale declared confidently. "Mind you, the seven are killers; would they stoop to collude with Boss Zuo? Killers have their codes and pride; they wouldn’t compromise for sanctuary."

"That’s the logic; if these seven killers understood the rules, they wouldn’t align with Boss Zuo," General Hawan added. "Boss Zuo approached the seven, implying some shady deal; who knows if it’s struck."

Neither General Hawan nor White Whale anticipated that the ones meeting Ye Fan’s seven were the actual Peng Bird members.

Boss Zuo played a crucial role in it, but not as significantly as they imagined.

General Hawan looked at White Whale: "Miss White Whale, how many have you brought? Can they handle the close-quarter threat from the rogues?" freewebnovel.cσ๓

"No problem, Spine Team is all here; we just need to locate the enemy," White Whale assured confidently.

"Then here’s to a successful collaboration in annihilating all enemies," General Hawan laughed confidently.
