The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1123: 1123: Cold Lake

Capítulo 1123: Chapter 1123: Cold Lake

“Cold Lake, this is…” The man’s face showed a puzzled expression, obviously unaware of this place. “Boss, forgive my ignorance, what is this place?”

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. This place is very hidden. Cold Lake is a mysterious location in Bai Mountain, where it possesses the energy to freeze everything in the world. As long as you lead their group there, they will undoubtedly die.” The woman said coldly, her words already filled with chill. Deep in Bai Mountain, there are many mysterious affairs. In fact, Bai Mountain is also one of the relics, but compared to other relics like the Holy Mountain or Bai Qi’s relic, Bai Mountain seems very ‘barren.’ There is no burial of important figures here, nor any treasures or spell secrets. Moreover, Bai Mountain is sparsely populated, constantly cold, so no one is willing to come. If it weren’t for finding the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus to help Ghost regain his memory, the Netherworld Palace would not come.

“I see, I understand now. If this Cold Lake truly has such power, then they will undoubtedly die. Please trust me, Boss, I will definitely fulfill the mission.” The man said repeatedly, then slowly exited the cave.

Bai Mountain, third day into the mountain.

“Lord, this is already the seventeenth hill, and we still haven’t found the snow lotus.” Soul Destroyer led a team of Hidden Guard down from the peak, looking dejected, tossing the mountaineering axe in his hand to the ground and sitting cross-legged, panting heavily. Hearing this, Demoness felt a tightness in her heart, gently nibbling her lip, starting to blame herself again. For an entire day, they had found nothing.

“No, finding the snow lotus during the day is too difficult.” Ji Qian shook her head, Bai Mountain Snow Lotus is translucent and bright white. During the day, when mixed with the snow, it is hard to find. Only at night, when the snow lotus emits blue light, can it be seen.

“Lord, in that case, why not reverse the time, rest during the day, and search at night.” Soul Destroyer suggested.

“Soul Destroyer speaks with reason. Daytime efficiency is too low. Rather than searching laboriously, it would be better to rest sufficiently during the day, gather strength and reap twice the results at night.” Zhang Lin nodded and said.

“Alright, then we’ll rest until five o’clock in the evening, then the entire team will set out to search for the snow lotus.” Ji Qian commanded thoughtfully.

“Lord Moon God, allow me to take the people to search first.” Demoness offered again.

“Forget it, Demoness, if we are fatigued from running around, not only will it be ineffective, but if someone attacks again, and the opponents wait with ease, we’ll suffer a loss.” Soul Destroyer persuaded her.

“Let the whole team set up camp to rest, dispatch some to guard the surroundings.”

“Yes, Lord.”

“Lord, the mountain peaks here are numerous, but from one peak to another, although the distance is not far, because of the high steep mountains, it requires considerable time. Why not disperse our personnel, ten in each group, to search separately. If there is a discovery, send a signal flare, in this way, the search speed could be doubled.” Zhang Lin suggested.

“That’s not a bad method, but… there are quite a few people lurking in the shadows, watching us closely. If we spread out our people, encountering danger would be troublesome.” Ji Qian hesitated, still shaking her head, she didn’t want more casualties.

“Indeed, and judging from the strength of the first two batches of people, those coming to stop us this time are diverse, maybe, there are even stronger masters we haven’t encountered yet.”

………………

East Sea, Zheng Family.

“Eldest Young Master, those elders have started to pressure the Family Head again. If this continues, I’m afraid the Family Head over there… will have difficulty.” A middle-aged man stood in front of Zheng Ji, reporting respectfully. The man is an elder of the Zheng Family, the one who taught Zheng Ji Inner Strength and martial arts, he can be said to be Zheng Ji’s ‘Master.’ Equally, he is also Zheng Ji’s trusted aide.

“Damn it, those bastards.” Upon hearing this, Zheng Ji slapped the wooden table forcefully, the sturdy mahogany table instantly turned into a pile of wood chips, scattering on the ground.

“Master Mo, you’ve worked hard.” Zheng Ji turned to look at the man, bowing deeply.

“Eldest Young Master needn’t be so polite, this old man is willing to go through fire and water for the Young Master. Therefore, any task the Young Master commands, I will definitely accomplish.” Elder Mo said firmly, changing his expression, “But Young Master, many of the significant powers in the family are now in the hands of those with ulterior motives. Wanting to fight against them is not easy, and moreover, speaking of this, it’s the family’s internal conflict, wanting to deal with them is even more difficult.”

“Master Mo is right, those people are eyeing our Zheng Family covetously. If it’s merely internal planning, that’s fine, but if they don’t hesitate to collude with outsiders, then the Zheng Family will surely be divided by these parasites.” Zheng Ji said painfully; the family is thin, so power naturally falls into outsiders’ hands. Since ancient times, even the most powerful organizations, even empires, have been destroyed by internal strife and external enemies.

“As long as I have breath, I will protect the Zheng Family.” Elder Mo kneeled on one knee, pledging loyalty to Zheng Ji.

“Master Mo, currently, if we want to settle them, we must first investigate who the murderer of my sister is, otherwise they will definitely make a big deal of it.” Zheng Ji analyzed.

“Then… Young Master, do you have any ideas?”

“Miss Ji left a message; she has urgent business to rush to Bai Mountain in the northeast. It is said to be to help Ghost from the Netherworld Palace regain his memory. She can return in at most a week. Those elders spared no effort to frame Miss Ji. This matter likely involves the Ji Family. I plan to use this as a breakthrough point.” Zheng Ji said word by word.

“Exactly. If they successfully frame the Ji Family, then the mastermind is likely the Ji Family’s enemy, trying to frame them and use the Zheng Family’s knife to weaken the Ji Family’s strength, benefitting like a fisherman between clam and crane.” Elder Mo agreed.

“So, I want to personally go to the Ji Family in Yanjing, thoroughly investigate the matter. Moreover, if my guess is correct, Miss Ji will surely return to Yanjing after leaving the northeast, then I can discuss it with her at that time.”

“In that case, I will immediately arrange personnel to protect the Young Master on his way, and I’ll go to pack my luggage…”

“No, for this trip to Yanjing, just bring a guard to accompany me. Master Mo, I need you here to help look after the family.” Zheng Ji waved his hand; those coveting individuals in the family cannot be left without someone overseeing.

“If so, I follow the Young Master’s orders.” Elder Mo bowed.

“The current situation is too complex. Frankly, I’m not sure if I can find the true murderer, but I can at least prove Miss Ji is not the killer, that way, at least the two families won’t fight to mutual destruction.”
