My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1361: Everything Is Ready

Ye Fan’s plan was simple: find a way to make General Hawan’s artillery unit aim directly at the Spine Team. That way, he could use General Hawan’s power to eliminate the threat of the Spine Team.The idea was good, but achieving it was incredibly difficult.

According to the current information, General Hawan was with the White Whale, while the Spine Team wasn’t present at General Hawan’s camp and showed no signs of contact. This gave Ye Fan an opportunity to exploit; with proper planning, it wasn’t impossible.

The Spine Team followed orders from the White Whale, naturally independent from General Hawan’s warriors, so the two sides naturally had no entanglements. Even if General Hawan hadn’t betrayed Black Shark, the Spine Team wouldn’t appear before him.

This is understandable. Given the nature of the Spine Team, it’s impossible for them to have any interaction with General Hawan’s warriors.

The Spine Team’s hiding place is a secret. White Whale wouldn’t let General Hawan know.

When attacking, the Spine Team would act; otherwise, they remained hidden as if they didn’t exist.

General Hawan understood this and didn’t question the whereabouts of the Spine Team. Even in partnerships, one wouldn’t inquire about the other’s location. This is an obvious principle; it’s impossible to fully expose one’s secrets to the other.

With a fixed plan in place, the next steps were clear.

First, locate the hiding place of the Spine Team and secondly, find a way to redirect the threat.

Zhang Kui, Gao Qiang, and Qian Weiguo, as before, lurked outside General Hawan’s camp, observing the situation. Although they didn’t see General Hawan or the White Whale, the artillery unit was already prepared for battle.

"Look at that battle-ready artillery unit, it’s prepared for us. After suffering losses, General Hawan is hiding like a mouse. He knows our strength, so he doesn’t dare to come out easily, thinking of using his advantage to eliminate us," Zhang Kui said confidently, observing the camp.

"This general is now like an ant on a hot pan, very afraid," Gao Qiang joked.

"Finding our whereabouts will not be easy. In my opinion, General Hawan hates us to death now; if he confirmed our location, he’d try everything to bomb us. So hiding properly is the key task," Qian Weiguo said slowly, with a faint smile on his face.

What the three didn’t know was that not far away, a five-man squad from the Spine Team was lurking there too. They were ordered by the White Whale to scout the situation and find out if Ye Fan and others were watching General Hawan’s moves. Clearly, White Whale’s arrangement was wise, and by coincidence, they were about to encounter Zhang Kui and the others.

For now, Zhang Kui and the Spine Team’s five members were unaware of each other’s presence. This was due to their excellent hiding, but as time passes, one side will eventually discover clues about the other’s existence.

Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting followed the area pointed out by the Peng Bird, searching for the Spine Team’s whereabouts.

Quickly, a day passed.

By noon, as the weather was scorching and heat waves surged, Ye Fan and the others appeared on a stretch of wilderness. Seeing the abandoned building within sight, they showed delight.

"We’ve finally found them," Zhang Lu said happily, wiping the sweat from her brow.

After over ten hours of searching, they finally found the hiding place of the Spine Team based on the area provided by the Peng Bird. Upon confirming this information through observation, Ye Fan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

During the search, they had found many abandoned buildings and hiding places, which was quite a painstaking effort.

However, it was all worth it. This gain meant that half of their established plan was completed.

"It’s undoubtedly the Spine Team’s refuge. I think we shouldn’t get any closer, or we’ll be discovered by the enemy. If we attract the enemy’s attention, all our efforts will be wasted," Yang Shu emphasized.

"Instructor, what should we do next?" Shen Tingting asked, "We’ll follow your lead and believe you already have a detailed plan."

"The immediate task is to find a hiding place, so the enemy inside the building won’t spot us." Ye Fan pondered for a moment before authoritatively saying, "You three retreat and find a hidden place to hide. When you are needed, we’ll call for your support. You can’t help in the next action."

"How can this be? Is it because there’s danger that you’re making us hide? We should be the ones undertaking dangerous tasks; you can’t take risks. We can die, but you shouldn’t!" Zhang Lu and the others, despite respecting Ye Fan’s decision, expressed their opinions upon seeing themselves excluded.

"Follow orders; it’s none of your concern," Ye Fan replied curtly.

"Yes!" Zhang Lu and the others, though frustrated, had to comply with Ye Fan’s orders.

After Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting had left, Ye Fan then used his earpiece to contact Zhang Kui and the others.

"How’s the situation?" Ye Fan inquired.

"The camp is calm. Except for the artillery unit being on standby 24/7, everything else is normal," Zhang Kui reported. "Moreover, White Whale has not come out since entering the camp."

He paused, had a sudden thought, and added, "Oh, there’s another thing. Five hundred meters away, there’s someone also lurking outside the camp. To avoid alerting the enemy, we didn’t act rashly, nor do we know their intentions."

"At this moment, someone brazenly ambushes outside the camp—other than the Spine Team, there’s no one else it could be. It’s probably to find us. Perhaps White Whale guessed we would focus on General Hawan’s every move, hence this arrangement," Ye Fan affirmed.

"How should we handle it?" Zhang Kui asked.

"Everything’s ready, just waiting for the right moment," Ye Fan said calmly. "Have Gao Qiang and Qian Weiguo withdraw and meet up with Zhang Lu and the others; the upcoming scene will be completed by the two of us."

"Understood!" Zhang Kui received the orders and had Gao Qiang and Qian Weiguo slowly retreat.

The fewer people, the smaller the target, and the lesser the danger.

Ye Fan’s plan was for Zhang Kui to attract the enemy’s attention and then retreat toward his direction.

Only this way could he redirect the threat onto the Spine Team. Of course, during this process, Zhang Kui’s situation would become more dangerous.
