After Divorce, The Cold CEO Begs Me Not to Withdraw Investment

Ye Feng loved Liu Qingyi for ten years, believing she was the only one in his life. However, he never expected a younger man to interfere. Filled with disappointment, he resolutely chose divorce.

Chapter 185 Case Escalation

Wu Feifei, however, was looking at the photo on the screen with a downcast expression and did not notice Ye Feng's unusual behavior.

She composed herself and slowly said, "This is a murder case that happened last month. We've deciphered the code at the beginning; it's a flight number, and we've finally identified the suspect. As for that pattern..."

“That’s MKJ’s logo,” Ye Feng interrupted Wu Feifei.

Wu Feifei looked at Ye Feng in surprise, "MKJ? What's that?"

Ye Feng said in a heavy tone, "MKJ is an internationally renowned mercenary group. They are elusive and ruthless, and are a major threat to many countries."

"An international mercenary group? What does that have to do with overseas online fraud?" Wu Feifei was completely confused. She felt that her understanding of this case had been completely overturned.

Ye Feng's eyes were complicated, as if he were caught in a vortex of memories: "They are far more complicated than you think. There may be people from them involved in the case you are investigating. MKJ is notorious; they don't participate in ordinary fraud activities."

As Wu Feifei processed the information Ye Feng had brought, she realized that she had underestimated Ye Feng and the complexity of the case.

“The deceased was a member of my team. He was killed while investigating an overseas fraud gang. We intercepted some intelligence and confirmed the suspects’ identities and locations, which led to this operation.” She pointed to the information on the computer screen. “Tiancheng Technology is their base.”

Ye Feng's expression suddenly turned serious: "Wu Dan cannot participate in this operation."

Wu Feifei was stunned; she hadn't expected Ye Feng to make such a request.

"Why? Are you trying to withdraw from the partnership?"

"I will complete the mission, but Wu Dan cannot be involved in such a dangerous operation." Ye Feng's tone left no room for negotiation.

Wu Feifei was furious. She felt that Ye Feng's attitude was a bit excessive: "Do you think the people involved in the operation don't know the danger?"

“Wu Dan is just an ordinary person; he shouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing,” Ye Feng insisted on his position.

Wu Feifei sneered: "The Ministry of Security has already formulated a detailed plan, and we have applied for assistance from the military, so security is absolutely guaranteed."

“If this matter is really related to MKJ, it’s no longer a problem we can handle.” Ye Feng’s voice was deep and powerful.

Wu Feifei felt uncomfortable. She rarely backed down, let alone in front of a man.

She was handling this complex fraud case hoping to make a difference.

Ye Feng's resoluteness surprised her and made her realize the seriousness of the matter.

At the same time, Ye Feng looked at Wu Feifei and knew that she would not compromise easily.

Ye Feng said no more; he was determined to find a way to get Wu Dan out of this case.

Wu Feifei sat in the chair, feeling very uncomfortable.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

In fact, she had consulted a lot of information and learned that the members of this case had committed many major crimes and were extremely dangerous.

Despite having elite support, Wu Feifei still felt worried deep down.

After getting to know Ye Feng, Wu Feifei's worries inexplicably disappeared.

Although Ye Feng was somewhat old-fashioned, he gave her a strange sense of security.

It was based on this intuition that Wu Feifei insisted on having Ye Feng join the operation.

However, Ye Feng now voiced his objection.

Wu Feifei let out a long, frustrated sigh.

“Removing Wu Dan now is impossible unless you have a better plan.” She paused, then added, “How about we call Wu Dan in and hear his thoughts?”

Ye Feng nodded.

Wu Feifei picked up the phone on the table and dialed, "Wu Dan, come to my office for a moment."

Soon, Wu Dan knocked on the door and came in.

Wu Feifei briefly explained the risks of the mission to him.

"Is that organization really that dangerous?" Wu Dan asked cautiously, his brows furrowed after hearing the question.

“Even highly trained professionals would find it difficult to gain the upper hand against them,” Ye Feng continued, his tone heavy. “Safety cannot be guaranteed.”

Ye Feng's words made Wu Dan's heart tighten.

“We have developed a meticulous plan and applied for military assistance, so our safety is absolutely guaranteed,” Wu Feifei emphasized, trying to dispel Wu Dan’s concerns.

"Theory without practice is no match for reality." Ye Feng shook his head. "In actual operation, there are too many variables. If the plan goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He paused, his tone laced with sarcasm, "Everyone knows how capable Chen Yiyi's men are. If they really encountered MKJ, they wouldn't be enough."

Wu Feifei's expression changed: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Have you considered the consequences if Wu Dan's identity is exposed? It's not just him; it would be a catastrophe for all of us." Ye Feng's voice was low and calm.

Wu Dan looked around at the two of them, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Sister Feifei, Brother Feng, I think..."

"Shut up!" Wu Feifei and Ye Feng said almost simultaneously.

Wu Dan shut his mouth in resignation.

Wu Feifei suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office in agitation.

After a moment, she stopped, her tone much calmer: "Ye Feng, you're right. I didn't think things through. I shouldn't have involved you before the matter was fully investigated."

She had also considered the issues Ye Feng mentioned, but she was clinging to a sliver of hope that things wouldn't escalate to the worst possible outcome.

Now, after Ye Feng's reminder, she realized her own rashness.

“It was out of necessity to assign this mission to Wu Dan.” Wu Feifei rubbed her temples. “The previous undercover operations all failed. If we fail again, the funds will flow overseas after the bank releases the loan, and it will be difficult to recover them. Therefore, my goal is to obtain legal evidence as soon as possible to stop the illicit money from leaving the country.”

Wu Feifei's explanation made Ye Feng realize that his attitude just now was a bit too extreme.

"Sorry, I got a little agitated just now," Ye Feng said, his tone softening. "I was just stating the facts, not targeting anyone."

"It's alright." Wu Feifei waved her hand. "This time, Chen Yiyi will be in charge of commanding the operation, and I will also go to the front line myself."

Ye Feng suddenly looked up, "No way!"

Wu Feifei was stunned; she hadn't expected Ye Feng to object so directly.

"I'm the leader, what right do you have to disagree?"

Wu Feifei found Ye Feng's attitude increasingly difficult to understand. First, he opposed Wu Dan's participation, and now he opposes her going to the front line.

What exactly does he want to do?

Wu Dan listened to their conversation in silence, and finally spoke up: "Brother Feng, I want to participate in this operation."

Both of their eyes were fixed on him.

Ye Feng looked at Wu Dan with sharp eyes: "Have you thought it through?"

Wu Dan met his gaze and nodded firmly.

"I've thought it through."

He understood the danger of this operation, but he also had his own selfish motives; his friends were involved in the case.
