Chapter 195 The Mad Female Boss Appears!
The face that had just regained some color instantly returned to its icy, hard state.
The joy and warmth of surviving the ordeal in the living room were instantly frozen by these three words.
All the talking stopped.
Su Yue's heart sank heavily.
She looked at her father and saw Huo Shouzheng unfolding the thin telegram in a steady, unhurried manner.
But the next second, his body suddenly froze.
Gu Beichen immediately shielded Su Yue behind him, his aura becoming dangerous and sharp. He stared at the paper in Huo Shouzhen's hand as if it were not paper, but a poisoned dagger.
"Dad?" Su Yue asked tentatively.
Huo Shouzhen did not respond. He simply squeezed the telegram slowly, inch by inch, until the thin paper turned into a tight ball in his well-defined knuckles.
"It's Elena."
Huo Shouzhen finally spoke, the three words seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying the weariness and disgust that had not been worn away in the past twenty-three years.
Elena?
This unfamiliar foreign name made everyone in the Gu family frown.
Only Su Yue felt a sudden tension in her mind the moment she heard the name.
She had seen the initials "E" of that name in the fragments of her father's blood-stained diary. It belonged to the female leader of the "K" organization—the one who had saved her father and then imprisoned him for twenty-three years!
"She was the head of the 'K' organization in the border region back then."
Huo Shouzhen's explanation confirmed Su Yue's guess. He looked at Gu Zhengfeng and added a more crucial piece of information: "An extremely intelligent and extremely crazy woman."
“The ‘K’ organization’s infiltration network in China has been completely eradicated, and Deputy Commander Zhou has been brought to justice. Logically speaking, as the person in charge overseas, her first reaction should have been to immediately cut off all contact and go as far away as possible.”
Huo Shouzhen gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth as he said this.
"But she's not normal. In her world, there are no countries, no organizations, only her own morbid logic. When she learns about what's happening here, she won't think it's a failure of the plan, she'll only think... that I 'betrayed' her."
"Therefore, she came to China in person not to seek revenge, nor to rebuild the organization."
Huo Shouzhen raised his head, looked at Su Yue, and said, word by word.
"She's coming to... 'take me back'."
These words made the air in the entire study freeze.
The female leader of a top-tier overseas enemy intelligence organization, with immeasurable resources and an elite team of special agents, is about to cross oceans and infiltrate the heart of a country to arrest someone, not for national interests, but solely because of a man's "betrayal."
This is something only a madman would do!
"If she dares to come, we'll make sure she doesn't leave alive!"
Gu Beichen held Su Yue even tighter behind him, and the chilling murderous aura emanating from him caused the temperature in the room to drop several degrees.
"Beijing is not a place where she can run wild."
Old Master Huo slammed his fist on the table in anger, his dragon-headed cane striking the ground heavily: "Outrageous! Do they think the Huo family has no one left? Shouzheng, don't worry, even if I bring all the wealth in Hong Kong, I will never let this crazy woman lay a finger on you!"
However, neither Gu Zhengfeng nor Huo Shouzhen showed any sign of relief.
They knew all too well just how terrifying a madman who didn't play by the rules and controlled enormous resources could be.
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
In particular, Su Yue is pregnant, making her the opponent's primary vulnerability to attack.
Just as everyone was gripped by a profound sense of crisis, Su Yue, who had been silent all along, gently tugged at Gu Beichen's sleeve from behind.
"take it easy."
She raised her head and, under the worried gazes of the men, spoke with unusual calm.
"A crazy person obsessed with love is actually easier to deal with than a pure agent."
Everyone was stunned.
Su Yue walked to the table, poured herself a glass of warm water, and slowly took a sip.
"All her actions are based on one core principle—my father."
"Her goal is not destruction or killing, but 'reclaiming'. This means she will not resort to extreme measures that could destroy everything, because that might harm her 'possessions'."
Su Yue's words were like a bolt of lightning, cleaving through the fear that had gripped everyone's minds.
“So,” she put down her water glass, looked up at her father, her clear eyes sparkling with astonishing wisdom and courage, “her greatest weakness is you.”
Huo Shouzhen looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with barely suppressed shock and pride.
He never imagined that his daughter, whom he had neglected for twenty-three years, would possess such keen insight and a calm and composed heart, unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
"Yueyue, what do you mean..." Gu Zhengfeng understood something.
"Lue the snake out of its hole."
Su Yue uttered four words with unwavering resolve.
“If she wants to come, we’ll give her a reason to come, an opportunity that makes her feel she can easily succeed.”
Su Yue then proposed a bold plan that could be described as insane.
“We released the news to the public that my father had been in poor health for many years and needed to recuperate. Since the climate in Beijing was not suitable, he decided to come back to Hainan Island with me to live and recuperate for a long time.”
"At the same time, they lowered the security level around us to the lowest possible level, creating the illusion that our whole family was immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster and had let our guard down."
"In particular, I want to emphasize that I am pregnant, and the whole family's focus is on me and the baby, leaving us completely unprepared for external dangers."
This plan was immediately met with strong opposition from Huo Shouzheng and Gu Zhengfeng.
"No! This is too dangerous!" Huo Shouzhen was the first to speak. He had finally found his daughter and he couldn't let her take even the slightest risk.
“Yueyue, you’re pregnant, you can’t afford any mistakes!” Gu Zhengfeng disagreed.
“Dad, Father-in-law,” Su Yue insisted, “only in this way can we wipe out Elena and her elite squad in one fell swoop and eliminate any future troubles!”
"Otherwise, a madman lurking in the shadows would keep us all up at night. You understand the importance of guarding against thieves every day better than I do."
Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Gu Beichen.
"I believe in you, and I believe in myself. On our turf, we'll set a trap and lure you in. We must take control of the situation."
Her confidence and meticulousness possess an irresistible persuasiveness.
Silence fell in the study once again.
In the end, it was Old Master Huo who slapped his thigh.
"Good! As expected of someone from the Huo family! Courageous and resourceful! Let's do it this way!"
With Old Master Huo's approval, Gu Zhengfeng and Huo Shouzhen exchanged a glance and could only reluctantly but proudly agree to the plan.
A dramatic scheme targeting overseas enemy agents was quietly devised in the small study of the Gu family.
The Gu family and the Huo family, these two enormous war machines, began to operate at high speed for this "performance".
