Heads-up! The CEO's Wife is a Hidden Big Boss! novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755: Courting Death, Huh? I’ll Play Along.

Editor: Atlas Studios

It was currently afternoon on Jijing Island.

Things had been tense in the Elders’ Association ever since Huo Zhi failed to return from Mingyu Island with Gu Si half a month ago. They were prepared to send people straight to the capital to capture him.

But because Gu Mang had never been reasonable and merciful toward the Elders’ Association, they dared not act rashly, so they were feeling very vexed. Every day, they held meetings to discuss how they could deal with Gu Mang and Gu Si.

To them, Meng Jinyang’s case was akin to a breakthrough. They wanted to make use of her to get at Gu Mang.

The moment Huo Zhi exited the meeting room, he contacted Gu Mang right away, but she never bothered to reply.

Just when he was about to put his phone away, the screen suddenly lit up.

[Courting death, huh? I’ll play along.]

...

Ye residence’s living room.

"Madam, the people from Red Flame came to Jijing Island looking for something some time ago. I think they found what they were looking for, but they didn’t leave after that. On the contrary, their influence is slowly growing." Elder Ye reported the current Jijing Island situation to Ye Junci.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Junci furrowed her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at him. "They didn’t leave and are actually bringing more over?"

Elder Ye nodded. "The Elders’ Association has been very busy lately, so they didn’t have the time to take care of this matter until now."

Ye Junci lowered her eyelids in contemplation.

Previously, when Lu Zhan had told her that Lu Chengzhou was planning to deal with Jijing Island, she did not take it to heart at all. It was only now, after hearing what Elder Ye had just said, that she realized that her son meant business.

Jijing Island has great influence and an extremely high status in the world. If he really wants to go against Huo Zhi and the Elders’ Association, it’d be a difficult fight even with the forces of Red Flame and Red Scorpion combined. If he’s doing this for the prescription, why the sudden decision to deal with the Elders’ Association after so many years? She couldn’t come up with an answer even after mulling over the question for a long time. "I got it. If there’s any unusual activity, inform me immediately."

"Yes," responded Elder Ye before suddenly looking at her upon recalling a certain matter. "One more thing. Shadow League has ruined many of Huo Zhi’s and the Elders’ Association’s businesses over the past few months. I haven’t found out what feud they have with the Elders’ Association."

There were a lot of matters the Elders’ Association had to handle lately, so they did not have the time to care about other affairs.

"Was it Arctic Fox’s doing?" Ye Junci was surprised to hear the news. That’s the hacker that even people from Jijing Island are afraid of. If Arctic Fox really has a grudge against the Elders’ Association, they really have to be careful when conducting their business.

"I doubt it. After accepting Country K’s mission at the start of the year, Arctic Fox hasn’t appeared since," said Elder Ye with a shake of his head. That person is too mysterious.

"Someone might have ordered Shadow League to mess with the Elders’ Association, or maybe they offended a higherup in Shadow League." Ye Junci picked up her cup of tea after that.

The only external organizations that Jijing Island dared not underestimate were Red Flame, Shadow League, and the Killer Alliance. The former two used to keep to themselves, but things were different now. On top of that, the influence the Killer Alliance’s big boss had on Jijing Island was considerable too. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The two of them began talking about other things, but Ye Junci seemed distracted throughout the entire conversation. Elder Ye thus tactfully took his leave a few minutes later.

Ye Junci sat alone on the sofa for a long time, thinking about how Lu Chengzhou wanted to deal with the Elders’ Association. Upon deciding that he should not act rashly, she pursed her lips and picked up her phone to call Lu Zhan.

"Are you not feeling well?" Noticing that she looked somewhat tired, Lu Chengzhou frowned and bent down slightly to take a closer look at her. I restrained myself last night, though.
