The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1101: Bai Mountain Snow Lotus
"Do you know something?" Ghost said coldly, but his slight facial expression betrayed him. Lang was able to carve out his own territory in the murky waters of the East Sea largely because he was perceptive and good at using people. He gathered a large group of people to work for him, and his influence continued to expand. The Black Sand Gang was indeed a major gang in the East Sea, and its power was not small. It was evident how enticing the position of this "Vice Leader" was. With this status, power, money, and women would flow endlessly. However, in Ghost’s view, even though Lang was extremely influential, he might not necessarily know the hidden truths, given that the police had already stated that the house was destroyed due to a gas explosion.
"Haha, there’s no such thing as a wall in this world that doesn’t let the wind through. If you can’t get what you want, it’s just because your ability isn’t enough and your status isn’t high enough." Lang chuckled lightly. "Let’s get back on track. Regarding the memory recovery, I’m not boasting, I do have a method that can help you recover your memory. Although I can’t guarantee full recovery, at least there will be some effect."
"What method? Tell me first." Ghost was half-skeptical. Lang’s cunning plans were hard to trust based on words alone.
"Near Bai Mountain in Huaxia, there’s a kind of snow lotus that’s said to have amazing effects of clearing the mind and restoring memory."
"You said it yourself, it’s just a legend. Why should I believe you?" Ghost retorted.
"Of course, it’s just a legend, but you might not understand that the world of cultivators can’t be explained by modern science. I’ve heard about the legend of the snow lotus long ago. You should also realize that, under the current circumstances, you might never recover your memory in your lifetime. Don’t you want to give it a try?"
"Alright, why don’t you first tell me your conditions." Ghost changed the topic. People only give up their current interests for greater benefits. Lang was willing to help him recover his memory only because...
"Join the Black Sand Gang, and the position of Vice Leader is yours."
"Alright, I’ll think about it."
"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment. I don’t have such a snow lotus on hand."
"Then all that you said just now was just empty talk." Ghost was somewhat angry. After all that was said, the snow lotus was still a mirage.
"Don’t worry about that. Although the snow lotus is rare, I have my ways to obtain it. Mr. Gu just needs to tell me if you’re willing or not." Lang continued, "I am willing to stake my personal and professional reputation on it."
"Alright, let me think about it." Ghost waved his hand and turned to leave, but suddenly turned back, stared gravely at Lang and warned, "In the future, if you dare to lay a hand on those around me again, I will not spare you."
"Of course. If Mr. Gu doesn’t mind, I can also assign people to protect Lady Gu."
"Forget it, just keep your people away from her." Ghost finished talking and left the room.
"Gu Xin, let’s go." Ghost took Gu Xin’s hand and left the basement in front of everyone. Although he seemed hostile towards Lang, to be honest, when Lang spoke of the Bai Mountain snow lotus being able to restore memory, he was tempted. Although he had enjoyed the time spent with Gu Xin, he still felt empty during the quiet of the night. A person missing more than twenty years of memories can’t help but feel hollow inside.
"First, let me use my phone to assure everyone you’re safe. Your dad and the teachers and students at the school are all looking for you." Ghost handed over the phone.
"Earlier, what did that man say to you?" Gu Xin asked anxiously, her hands unconsciously grabbing his arm.
"Nothing much, just something about memory restoration." Ghost replied dismissively, seizing the opportunity to change the subject. "You need to be more careful in the future, and try not to run into bad people."
"That’s not right, was he trying to recruit you?" Gu Xin asked suspiciously, pressing further. "I’m telling you, you absolutely mustn’t get involved with them. My dad said that as long as you care for yourself carefully, there’s a chance your memory can recover."
"Don’t worry, I have principles. I absolutely refuse to be in cahoots with anyone shady."

Heaven Mall.
"Kai, how do you like this outfit?"
"Chairman Chen, this is a brand new piece just sent from an Italian designer. It would suit you perfectly." An attendant flattered on the side, and Ye Shikai subtly nodded, managing a faint smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Xin, we’re just going on our honeymoon, there’s no need to bring so many clothes, is there?" Ye Shikai gave a bitter smile. Chen Yuxin didn’t have to worry about money. When she liked an outfit, she just packed it and sent it back to the Chen family residence. In just one morning, she already bought more than twenty pieces.
"It’s okay. After all, I can wear them on regular days too." Chen Yuxin smiled gently and continued looking at clothes.
"I’ll go to the restaurant first, the atmosphere here... is a bit heavy." Ye Shikai smiled awkwardly. Chen Yuxin nodded. Accompanying his girlfriend shopping, especially in a clothing store, might be a "pain point" for many men. Even in the past when the two went shopping, Ye Shikai was the same. When he really couldn’t take it anymore, he’d go to a nearby restaurant or a tea shop to rest. As it was almost noon, Ye Shikai planned to go to the restaurant to order some food.
It was an extremely high-end Western restaurant, usually packed with patrons, and there was often a line outside. However, Chen Yuxin’s special status granted her special privileges. So even during peak dining hours, Ye Shikai was still respectfully invited into the restaurant by a waiter.
"Mr. Ye, we’ve prepared a VIP room for you and Miss Chen." A male manager said respectfully, his tone filled with flattery.
"Why is it that no one’s here, but I can’t use the private room?"
"Sorry, miss, this room has already been reserved."
At this moment, a "slight" dispute was heard from a distance. The manager’s expression changed slightly, immediately smiling apologetically to Ye Shikai, worried it would affect his mood.
"Please hold on a moment, Mr. Ye, while I handle a small issue." The manager walked towards the commotion, and Ye Shikai, curious about what was going on, couldn’t help but wander over.
"But no one has come to this room for two hours."
"Miss, I’m really sorry, I’ll arrange another spot for you." The manager quickly appeased, and Ye Shikai pushed open the wooden door, only to be taken aback by who stood before him...
"Qingyu, is that you?"
"How... how is it you." Su Qingyu turned her head, her expression changing, instinctively turning her face away.
"Mr. Ye, I’m really sorry, I’ll take care of it immediately." The manager, seeing this, showed an anxious expression. He dared not offend Chen Yuxin, for fear of losing his job, and hurried over to Su Qingyu, trying to persuade her.
"Let her have the room." Ye Shikai said calmly.
