Chapter 1585 - 1586: Stealing Half a Day of Leisure in a Busy Life
"He is the Hunter Cat!""He is indeed the Hunter Cat!!"
"He turned out to be the Hunter Cat!!!"
Inside the action group, there were varying degrees of exclamations and astonishment.
How could they remain calm?
All along, their greatest enemy has been the Hunter Cat, hasn’t it?
Now, the Hunter Cat has become their prisoner, catching them off guard and filling them with joy.
This scene not only exceeded everyone’s expectations, but also caught them unprepared. Their greatest enemy was now right in front of them, with no reason not to be shocked.
The harm and poison inflicted by the Hunter Cat were deeply felt, and they understood the consequences.
After the surprise, there was naturally full delight.
This formidable enemy finally being captured was undoubtedly a significant victory.
The interrogation of Hunter Cat and Transforming Mouse conducted by Yang Yan ended; Hunter Cat was interrogated with focus, while Transforming Mouse was handled much more simply.
It could be understood that Hunter Cat fully confessed, and Transforming Mouse didn’t hold much value.
Hunter Cat’s willingness to confess everything had nothing to do with Yang Yan.
He decided to let it all go, having stumbled so greatly this time. It’s no exaggeration to say his entire future and prospects were destroyed, and he was surely doomed.
In such circumstances, he had no need to hide anything.
A man facing death was bound to do some outlandish things.
Before kidnapping Li’s mother, he was still fantasizing about bargaining with Mr. Jin after obtaining the hard drive. Now this idea seems so ridiculous.
From beginning to end, Mr. Jin never considered him one of his own.
Kidnapping Li’s mother, to Hunter Cat, seemed like a plot by Mr. Jin to eliminate dissenters.
Otherwise, how could he have been captured so easily?
"Hunter Cat being caught was a bit unexpected for me too. It seems there are secrets we don’t know; Mr. Jin’s actions likely aren’t simple," Ye Fan said succinctly.
"The only regret is that Hunter Cat refused to reveal the forces behind him," Yang Yan lamented.
"As for the forces behind Hunter Cat, we are beyond reach. Knowing or not knowing doesn’t make much of a difference," Zhang Lu spoke.
"No one expected that the Hunter Cat, who was a menace for a time, would be treated as a sacrificial pawn. It seems this Mr. Jin has great courage and astonishing moves," Li Tong said. "In the future, our target focus should completely shift to Mr. Jin."
Just as Ye Fan and others were discussing strategies to deal with Mr. Jin, Zhang Jiefang and Director Luo arrived at the action group.
The arrival of the two leaders made everyone in the action group feel unexpectedly honored.
"Mr. Ye, we’ve all heard about your achievement, and it’s quite invigorating," Director Luo laughed heartily. "After this battle, we shine too, all thanks to you. I sincerely thank you."
"No wonder I invited you as reinforcements. This time, you did well; this favor I owe you," Zhang Jiefang praised generously.
After brief pleasantries, Zhang Jiefang looked at Ye Fan and seriously asked, "How did the interrogation results turn out?"
"Everything that should have been explained, has been," Ye Fan replied calmly.
"That’s good," Zhang Jiefang continued. "So, if the person here is no longer useful?"
"You could say that," Ye Fan replied simply.
"Then handing him over to us wouldn’t be a problem, right?" Zhang Jiefang asked cautiously.
"There’s a minor issue," Ye Fan chuckled softly.
"What? Whatever the issue, I can help you resolve it. Speak freely," Zhang Jiefang said generously.
"The entire action group worked tirelessly; their credit is indispensable. Of course, the credit for capturing Hunter Cat belongs collectively to the action group members. I don’t care about the credit, but they need it," Ye Fan made his request.
"I promise you here; everyone involved gets second-class merit, while individual outstanding members get first-class merit. How about that?" Zhang Jiefang said without hesitation.
"Good!" Ye Fan nodded.
"Then we’ll take the person," Zhang Jiefang said impatiently.
The Hunter Cat’s implications are significant; there’s still tremendous value to be unearthed from him.
Zhang Jiefang taking Hunter Cat was naturally considered in this regard.
The Hunter Cat being in Zhang Jiefang’s hands would maximize his value. Ye Fan understood this. If Zhang Jiefang forcibly took Hunter Cat away, the action group would not have the slightest grievance.
However, now that Ye Fan holds power in the action group, the situation is naturally different.
"No problem," Ye Fan agreed readily.
On Ye Fan’s account, Zhang Jiefang was so courteous, while the credit awarded to the action group was due to Ye Fan’s efforts, also out of consideration for Ye Fan.
The Hunter Cat was taken swiftly by Zhang Jiefang and Director Luo.
Once the news spread that all members of the action group received merits, the admiration and respect for Ye Fan soared to unprecedented levels.
The action group temporarily found some leisure.
Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong, as representatives of the action group, visited Li Tong’s mother’s home.
Out of social obligation, a visit was necessary.
This incident with Li’s mother resulted from Ye Fan’s deliberate allowance for Hunter Cat and Transforming Mouse’s actions.
Due to the resulting fright for Li’s mother, a visit was necessary, irrespective of the circumstances.
Upon arriving at Li’s mother’s home, Li Dingguo opened the door.
"You’re here," Li Dingguo said weakly.
"Dad, is mom okay?" Li Tong asked with concern.
"She’s resting in the room; what can happen, if she can’t even handle this little scare, how can it work?" Li Dingguo said indifferently.
Despite his indifferent outward appearance, he was very worried inside.
His haggard appearance made it clear.
Li Tong went to the room to accompany her mother.
Li Dingguo invited Ye Fan and Zhang Lu to sit down and served tea.
"You all hold important positions, having Li Tong visit the house is enough; you coming personally delays your work, doesn’t it?" Li Dingguo said as if educating them.
"Both personally and logically, I must visit. If I had stopped this earlier, my aunt wouldn’t have been frightened. To lure out the enemies behind the scene, I deliberately placed my aunt in danger, which was my personal selfishness," Ye Fan spoke frankly.
"Don’t say it’s personal selfishness; it’s all for the organization, for research achievements," Li Dingguo said righteously. "I don’t like hearing such words; to combat the enemy, you charge forward, and the enemy has corroded many of our comrades. A little personal sacrifice, what does it count for?"
Li Dingguo’s integrity and faith earned Ye Fan’s deep respect.
The research institute was sustained by such firm will.
As for the occasional traitors, they were simply the scum amid it all.
