The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1118 - Capítulo 1118: 1118: Speculations Abound

Capítulo 1118: Chapter 1118: Speculations Abound

Zhang Lin looked at the bodies; two of them were Black. Although Huaxia has many ethnic groups, there aren’t any Black people. Now they could basically confirm that these were foreign mercenaries. Huaxia never allows such organizations to infiltrate, so no mercenary group would idly wander around Huaxia, as it would be risking their lives. Thus, their appearance was not accidental, but inevitable.

“Lord Moon God, who could be attacking us?” Soul Destroyer had the bodies buried on the spot and sent people to treat the wounded. He was very puzzled. The operations of the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple had always been top secret; no one knew their whereabouts. However, these people acted even faster, lying in ambush beforehand, which was indeed perplexing.

Sure enough, what they feared most had happened. Ji Qian was worried someone might obstruct the operation, and it turned out there was indeed interference.

“I’m not sure. The Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple have many enemies, and it could be anyone,” Demoness asked doubtfully. In this shootout, they also lost three people, and four were injured. The Hidden Guards and the Moon Guards were cultivators, and being able to wound or kill them showed these opponents were not to be underestimated.

“No, although the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple have many enemies, their power is formidable. Especially with the two temples united, those people couldn’t seek revenge without the strength. There must be thorough preparation for them to come and kill us, so the number of enemies with such capability isn’t large.” Ji Qian spoke coldly, looking at the bullet holes in the car. The car’s exterior was bulletproof, but many bullets still penetrated the shell. It seemed the other side used armor-piercing rounds instead of regular bullets.

Even the bullets were prepared. Calling this a ‘spur-of-the-moment’ decision is barely believable. This indicates that at least this mercenary group was already on standby and infiltrated Bai Mountain upon receiving the order.

“My lord, our visit to Bai Mountain is for the snow lotus, and acquiring it is to restore Ghost’s memory. Who do you think wouldn’t want us to succeed?” Soul Destroyer said coldly. The group suddenly realized, and a name flashed through their minds.

“Chen Yuxin recruited Jeddon as her close aide, obviously intending to replace Ghost. Given the situation, the happiest person right now must be her,” muttered Demoness, “If I were her, I certainly wouldn’t want him to regain his memory.”

“My lord, Demoness makes a valid point. Considering Mr. Chen’s character, she is highly likely to do such a thing. Moreover, with the Chen family’s power and wealth, finding a mercenary group like this in a short period isn’t difficult. Whether in motive or feasibility, the Chen family can’t clear their suspicions easily,” Soul Destroyer echoed.

“What you all said makes sense.” Ji Qian nodded. The most crucial point is that the two temples’ actions are confidential, but Chen Yuxin is now Ye Shikai’s wife. She can learn about the operation’s content from Ye Shikai and hire people to stop them. Furthermore, Chen Yuxin disapproves of Ji Qian’s existence because she knows about Ji Qian and Ye Shikai’s relationship. If this operation could also ‘eliminate’ her, it would kill two birds with one stone.

“That woman’s methods are ruthless. Boss being with her… it’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a curse,” Soul Destroyer sighed, the tone slightly helpless.

“Hey, stop talking.” Demoness lightly pinched his arm and pointed at Ji Qian. This topic seemed a little ‘sensitive,’ especially in Ji Qian’s presence.

“Regardless, our goal is to find the snow lotus. Whoever is behind this, we can’t turn back now.” Ji Qian’s eyes flickered with a strange light. She calmed herself and spoke to the group.

“Everyone, pack your belongings. Leave the car here, and we’ll cross the river into the mountains.” Ji Qian ordered. The group unloaded their backpacks from the car. With this experience, they couldn’t be without weapons, and they needed to establish a sentry team to prevent another attack.

“Everyone, pass quickly along this ice road. Next, we’ll enter the mountains.” Zhang Lin pointed ahead. Fortunately, the low temperature in Bai Mountain prevented the ice from melting. Ji Qian was somewhat annoyed—if they intended for the ice to form earlier, this could have been avoided.

“My lord, let me lead some people to blow up the ice.” After everyone had passed, Soul Destroyer suggested to Ji Qian. This river was long, and leaving it frozen provided the attackers a shortcut. The key was not to let the attackers find their location.

…………………

In East Sea, when Ye Shikai returned from the hospital, it was already evening. He was actually quite conflicted. Ghost seemed very resistant to his past experiences, and he wondered if the salves he sent would be directly discarded by Gu Xin.

“What, got a cold shoulder?” A languid voice came from the room. The tone sounded somewhat lazy as Ye Shikai pushed open the living room door. Chen Yuxin was leisurely watching TV inside.

“How did you know?” Ye Shikai walked over, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it in one go.

“Kai, a single glance is enough for me to know what you’re thinking,” Chen Yuxin slowly stood up, walked behind Ye Shikai gently, and pressed her delicate, long fingers softly against his temples.

“Seems like things aren’t as easy as I thought.” Ye Shikai said softly.

“The snow lotus in Bai Mountain is already being searched for, and maybe… there will be news soon.”

“Xin, don’t interfere in this matter. I’ll have someone deal with it. There’s no point staying longer in East Sea. Let’s head back tomorrow.”

“Mm, I’ve already packed my luggage.”

“Kai,” Chen Yuxin softly whispered in his ear.

“Is there anything else?”

“I’ve heard the night view of East Sea is beautiful. Why don’t we… go for a walk?”

“The night view can be seen anywhere,” Ye Shikai shook his head. He was already quite tired. Whenever he felt exhausted, he unconsciously reminisced about past events. He had only returned to Huaxia for less than a year, yet so much had happened. Neither he nor the Netherworld Palace was the same as before, especially with Ghost’s memory loss. Ye Shikai suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness, as if the relationships with those around him had unknowingly become distant…

“But the night view of East Sea is famous in Huaxia. Since we’re here, we should definitely see it,” Chen Yuxin said softly.

“Alright, but… we must return before midnight. We have to go to the airport in the morning.”
