How could Ye Fan not know Leng Mei's identity? It's just that Leng Mei doesn't know his exact appearance.

After getting the physical characteristics of Leng Mei from Ye Juanjuan, he understood that it was Fire Phoenix who planned all of this; from kidnapping Mengyao to Biyao, it was all Fire Phoenix's doing.

As for the black-clad attackers, neither Ye Fan, Shen Yaqing, Zhang Lu, nor Qiu Wen had seen them personally, otherwise Ye Fan would have gotten some accurate information to judge the identity of the black-clad individuals.

The Shadow Guard led by Leng Mei was one of the Terminator's two major shadow guards, with each appearance marking disaster and destruction, and the Shadow Guard under Fire Phoenix's command is led by Leng Mei.

A question had been troubling Ye Fan, making him unable to figure out who was behind all of this. It wasn't for profit or revenge; it seemed like a test of patience as no information leaked out. Now it's clear.

"Fire Phoenix, she has finally made a move. Could it be that she is acting on the orders of Deceitful Fox to oppose me, or does she have some other unspeakable purpose?" thought Ye Fan. To be honest, the last thing he wanted was to be enemies with the two shadows, because the three of them emerged from tens of thousands of children, growing step by step in a cold-blooded training base to finally earn the illustrious name of Terminator.

They went through life and death together, bled together. It's almost not an exaggeration to say that in the past decade or so, he was inseparable from Fire Phoenix and Butcher, with their bond surpassing life and death. However, Ye Fan became the assassin extended out by God Organization's leadership, leading God Organization to a catastrophic downfall, and all the blame naturally fell onto Ye Fan's shoulders.

If Fire Phoenix and Butcher disregard old times and blame the entire destruction of the God Organization on Ye Fan, they would walk toward an opposing camp, leaving this deadlock nearly impossible to resolve.

Unless one side compromises, but how could that be possible?

From a personal emotional standpoint, Ye Fan had his reasons for having to act this way, but naturally, Fire Phoenix and Butcher hated Ye Fan's actions, feeling especially indignant towards reaching out to bring chaos to the organization that nurtured them. To put it bluntly, it was ungratefulness. Although Ye Fan sought revenge, Fire Phoenix and Butcher didn't understand that point.

How could Ye Fan not understand that Fire Phoenix, not having leaked any information and only revealing Leng Mei's identity, provided him a clue to trace back to her?

Fire Phoenix also believed he could gather useful information from subtle clues, thus not revealing too much of a trace.

"I know who took Mengyao." Ye Fan glanced meaningfully at Zhang Lu and the others, saying lightly, "You don't need to investigate the woman Ye Juanjuan mentioned anymore. I already know everything, so there's no need to bother looking for her. I've found a solution."

"Master, who is that woman? What exactly is her identity?" Qiu Wen asked eagerly.

Shen Yaqing and Zhang Lu also looked delighted. Finally having some concrete clues naturally made the two happy.

Watching the fighting spirit and strong intent in the eyes of the three women, Ye Fan said calmly, "Mengyao will be fine, and neither will anyone else. As long as you understand this, that's enough—I have a way to handle it."

"Qiu Wen, you and Shen Yaqing go back and make sure Ye Gang's guys calm down and stop running around. Zhang Lu, you can go deal with your own affairs. The rest is out of your hands; leave it to me," Ye Fan said, allowing no objections.

"How could that be? The more people, the more power. Are you trying to spare us because you know the enemy's forces are significant and fear we'll encounter danger? I'm telling you, this won't work. Now isn't the time for you to play the lone hero. I refuse to believe that with my influence, we can't have the enemy hesitant," Zhang Lu said indignantly. "You can't get rid of us just to do this alone. Even if not for you, we would worry about Mengyao and Biyao's safety. Don't bother worrying that you'll implicate us."

"Exactly, Master, how can you take risks alone at this time? I've always followed your commands without question, but this time, no matter what, I'm going to face the danger with you. I'd rather die than retreat," Qiu Wen said stubbornly.

Shen Yaqing added without any hesitation, "It's impressive you can make such a decision and say such things; no wonder you're my idol's close comrade. But as for the rescue operation, we will undoubtedly participate. I hope you won't push us away and consider our feelings too. Since Mengyao and others are in danger, we won't stand by. Even if you plan to go it alone and drive us away, we'll still use our own means to act. We definitely won't sit idly by and worry without doing anything."

The three expressed unanimous opinions, specifically blaming Ye Fan's words. How could he let them leave at such a time?

Does he disregard them as burdens, holding him back?

How could that be?

The three women's strength was not weak. They would undoubtedly be a significant assistive force.

If Ye Fan really thought as they did, they'd genuinely feel heartbroken.

If at this crucial moment, Ye Fan feared implicating them, then such thinking would be truly deplorable. Are they people who fear death?

Listening to Zhang Lu and the others fervently promising, Ye Fan was touched but also helplessly amused.

"How should I say this? It's undeniable that the other side is powerful, but there's no need for violence," Ye Fan explained.

"The other side caused such a huge commotion just to catch my attention and lead me there," he continued.

"If I need your help, I'll surely ask, but you don't understand the current situation—only I know. My reasons make it difficult to explain to you, but I can assure you, I won't be in danger, and neither will Mengyao and others. If things go well, it won't take more than a few hours to resolve," he added.

"Also, the person who took Mengyao is someone she knows."

"I swear, I'm not being reckless, nor am I displaying so-called individual heroism or afraid of implicating you."

"If you come with us, it wouldn't help; instead, it'd make the other side cautious, so I don't need your assistance because fundamentally, nothing will happen. So now, you should feel relieved," Ye Fan earnestly reassured them to convince Zhang Lu and the others.

"Master, are you sure there won't be any incidents? You're not lying to us," Qiu Wen asked, half-convinced.

Zhang Lu and Shen Yaqing also seemed somewhat convinced by Ye Fan's assurance given his seriousness, compelling belief.

"Really," Ye Fan affirmed.
