The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1113: Confidentiality

Speaking of it, it seems that there is a special bond between Queen Mona and him. In modern society, no one would believe that creatures like elves still exist in the world, yet Ye Shikai happened to encounter them. Although it has been almost half a year, he still vividly remembers his experience in the Mili Forest. Orcs, elves, these all reshaped his understanding of the world, especially the words Mona once said.

She had known him two thousand years ago.

Ye Shikai had no idea what this meant. The lifespan of elves is very long; two thousand years is just equivalent to eight or nine human years. By comparison, humans seem like mayflies, living fleeting lives. As for what Mona said, Ye Shikai considered it as merely a "seen everything in life" moment.

Looking at Chen Yuxin’s eyes, Ye Shikai suddenly felt a bit uneasy. If he accidentally revealed these things while talking in his sleep, then the story of Mona...if Chen Yuxin found out, would she misunderstand?

"Kai, tell me about that experience, the Mili Forest, and the elves. Is there really such a place?" Chen Yuxin asked, resting her chin on her hands and murmuring.

"It’s very dangerous there, with giant elephants, fierce lions, and tens of thousands of marching ants. Encountering them means you either escape or face death." Ye Shikai recounted all the dangers along the way. To outsiders, these creatures are "scythes of death," but to the Mili Forest, they are the born guardians. This is the way nature should be.

"Is that so? Then you must not go there again next time." Chen Yuxin’s face grew heavier as she listened, especially when she heard that several hidden guards didn’t make it out in time and were devoured by marching ants. Her body couldn’t stop trembling.

"Of course, I wouldn’t go unless absolutely necessary. But now, I should...never have to go to such a place again." Ye Shikai suddenly teased, "At least, not until those man-eating creatures are gone."

"Even if there aren’t any marching ants, you shouldn’t go." Chen Yuxin suddenly shouted excitedly, "And those elves aren’t anything good either; you must have faced danger there as well."

"Xin, why are you so excited?" Ye Shikai was a bit shocked; Chen Yuxin’s reaction seemed a bit excessive.

"Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I was worried about you encountering danger." Chen Yuxin realized her impropriety, brushed her hair, and sat back down.

"Isn’t it true that I faced no danger? Plus, my abilities have successfully advanced." Ye Shikai nodded and said.

"Xin, I made a promise to the elves not to speak of them, so...can you keep it a secret, okay?" Ye Shikai hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said softly.

"Of course, it’s your secret, and naturally, I’m willing to keep it for you." Chen Yuxin nodded and said.

"That’s the best." Ye Shikai looked down at his watch, "Alright, you rest here, I’m going to the hospital to find Ghost."

"Go quickly." Chen Yuxin helped him straighten his collar, appearing gentle and caring.

"OK, I’m off." After Ye Shikai left the room, Chen Yuxin’s smile gradually disappeared. She walked to the sofa, sat down, poured a glass of red wine, and occasionally took a sip.

Knock, knock, knock.

At this moment, the door to the room suddenly sounded.

"Come in." Chen Yuxin’s eyes turned cold, and she spoke softly, her voice not loud but just enough for the person outside to hear.

"Family Head, is there any command?" The visitor was her trusted aide, Chen Ruoya.

"Did the operation fail again?" Chen Yuxin said casually, her cold eyes sweeping across the surroundings, causing Chen Ruoya’s face to change and her body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Family Head, it was my mistake in selecting people. This is East Sea, I..."

"Enough, no need to explain." Chen Yuxin interrupted her, "This time it was rushed, not entirely your responsibility. East Sea isn’t our territory, hiring people here indeed adds risk."

"Family Head, I will immediately find someone else to take charge of the operation. This time it will not fail." Chen Ruoya said firmly. She had been indoctrinated from a young age with loyalty to the Chen family, in other words, she had been brainwashed since she was young. In every family, there were "Death Soldiers" like Chen Ruoya. To speak of it, the life of someone like Chen Ruoya could be called a tragedy because her fate had been decided early on.

As Chen Yuxin’s confidant, Chen Ruoya watched her become the Family Head. "When one person attains the Dao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Chen Yuxin became the distinguished Family Head, and Chen Ruoya, as the confidant, held a position of power in the Chen family. Many who wanted to curry favor with the Chen family wouldn’t miss the opportunity to offer benefits to Chen Ruoya.

That being said, Chen Ruoya’s loyalty to Chen Yuxin was no less than the life-and-death allegiance of Netherworld Palace’s armies to Ye Shikai. Therefore, those benefits never caught Chen Ruoya’s attention. The only thing she wanted was to complete the tasks assigned by Chen Yuxin.

"No need, this matter is no longer urgent." Chen Yuxin shook her head, pulled a dossier from the drawer.

"This matter is most imperative, go handle it immediately and don’t disappoint me again."

"Yes, Family Head."

East Sea Airport.

"Lord Moon God, would it be inappropriate to leave like this without saying goodbye?" Demoness hesitated as she glanced behind. Apart from Nightmare and a small team of hidden guards left in East Sea, everyone else had received Ji Qian’s notification early in the morning, quickly packed their gear, and by noon, they would fly to the northeast. Even Ye Shikai didn’t know about her arrangements.

"If you wish for Ghost to regain memories sooner, say less, do more." Ji Qian said coldly, "Have you prepared everything?"

"Everything is ready—all of it is hiking gear, full set, and some weapons are already prepared. We’ll collect them once we reach the northeast." Soul Destroyer explained, handing a piece of paper to Ji Qian.

"This is the equipment list, weapons are harder to obtain. I’ve arranged for Hidden Guards in the northeastern base to procure them."

"Very good." Ji Qian nodded, "We’ll wait for a moment more; there’s someone important who hasn’t arrived."

"Who else hasn’t arrived?" Demoness looked around, curiously asking.

"Everyone, I’m sorry for being late." At this moment, a beautiful woman jogged over from afar. As everyone turned their heads, the first thing that caught their eyes was a pair of long, white "legs."

"Wow, who’s this?" Soul Destroyer lifted his gaze, moving his sight from bottom to top—white skin, deep-set eyes, high nose bridge, brunette hair—it was a Western beauty.

"This is the person I’ve been waiting for." Ji Qian turned her head, addressing everyone.
