The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1736: Vicious Woman

"No, she won’t leave me." Ye Shikai said instinctively. He and He Linghan truly love each other; he doesn’t believe that He Linghan would abandon him, unless...

"Did you threaten her?" Ye Shikai shoved Mi Wen aside and shouted loudly. He wouldn’t believe that He Linghan would voluntarily leave, but Mi Wen must have tried to get at her somehow, persuading or even threatening her to leave.

"I merely made a deal with her."

"I don’t believe it. Right now, she doesn’t have any chips to bargain with you. You could kill her at any time. You say it’s a deal, but you’re just trying to brush me off. Actually, you’re threatening her." Ye Shikai said coldly, Mi Wen’s confident smile and silent demeanor had already exposed her.

He Linghan is not a weak person at heart; Mi Wen’s scare tactics won’t work on her. But if... Mi Wen threatened her with his life, even if she is unwilling, she would likely agree. Just like she insisted on coming to find Mi Wen despite Shangguan Jian’s obstruction.

"You are too despicable." Ye Shikai mocked, "In my heart, you’re far inferior to her."

"To be honest, she’s much stronger than I imagined." Mi Wen suddenly said, "From the moment she entered Linxiang City alone, I suddenly felt a sense of self-reproach."

"If I were her, would I dare to come to Linxiang alone? Probably not. I might have ended up dead upon entering the city gates." Mi Wen murmured, seemingly lost in thought.

"Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I actually felt a tinge of inferiority in her presence." Mi Wen self-deprecated, "If not for my background and family, I might truly not match up to her."

"You are excellent, but love isn’t about ’choosing the best’ but ’choosing what’s fateful.’ Meeting is ’fate,’ and being able to walk forward together is ’destiny.’ I and you have fate but no destiny." Ye Shikai said gently.

"Don’t speak too soon. As you said, being able to walk forward is ’destiny.’ Perhaps you and she only have fate but no destiny after all, if she voluntarily leaves you."

"I said it’s impossible; she wouldn’t agree."

"I told her if she didn’t voluntarily leave, I’d kill you."

"Sure enough, I knew you were threatening her." Ye Shikai suddenly grabbed Mi Wen’s neck fiercely, his five fingers pressing hard.

"You venomous woman, I will kill you." In his rage, Ye Shikai lost his reason, blood pounding in his veins. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to kill Mi Wen. She’s obviously forcing He Linghan to leave; it’s simply unreasonable.

"Why, why won’t you let me go?" Ye Shikai nearly hysterically screamed, it’s the long-repressed anger within him...

"Oh no, the master is in trouble!" At this moment, the guards outside also sensed something abnormal. The loud commotion inside was probably audible throughout the entire mansion. When they saw Ye Shikai choking Mi Wen with both hands, they immediately rushed forward.

"Get out of my way." With a powerful release of his inner strength, Ye Shikai knocked four guards flying.

"Quickly, hold him down." The remaining guards, disregarding their safety, all charged forward and finally pulled Ye Shikai back, while Mi Wen never fought back.

"You venomous woman, I will kill you." Ye Shikai tried to break free. His commanding inner strength surged through his body, released suddenly, shattering the wooden windows and doors of the room. The dozen guards nearby were also shaken, their internal organs shattered, spewing blood.

Ye Shikai didn’t have a Storage Ring, otherwise, he would have taken out You Xi’s sword and killed her with one stroke. But in his rage, he wasn’t thinking straight and directly lunged at her, wanting to strangle her.

Mi Wen suddenly stood up from the bed. Her pupils gradually transformed into "vortexes." Ye Shikai felt a sudden weakness in his body, followed by a sharp pain in his head, like needle pricks. It was as though a force was tearing his nerves apart. This feeling was worse than death, and he knew this was Mi Wen’s Illusion Pupil skill.

Ah ah ah.

Ye Shikai fell to the ground, as if crushed by a mountain, unable to breathe. His vision and hearing seemed deprived, and his heavy eyelids slowly closed...

"Someone, come." After activating the Illusion Pupil, although Mi Wen managed to make Ye Shikai fall into a coma again, this move also caused damage to the user herself. Having consumed a large amount of inner strength, Mi Wen’s face was frighteningly pale.

"Master."

"Master."

"Take him back to the room and guard him."

"Yes."

"Yes."

A warehouse beside the tavern.

"Quick, move faster."

"Bring all the dirt here, keep it quiet."

Shangguan Jian had bought this place, under the guise of ’renovation,’ but in reality, it was to dig a tunnel towards the prison. To speed up the process, they worked in shifts day and night. There was a curfew at night, and people couldn’t walk the streets, so the city was very quiet then. Therefore, they had to keep their noise minimal, else they would be exposed if patrolling soldiers noticed.

"Xue San, is the direction of the tunnel correct?" Shangguan Jian asked.

"Rest assured, I’ve calculated this direction. Just one mile more and we’ll reach the market, about three miles from the dungeons." Xue San stated firmly. He wasn’t serving as a prison guard just to kill time. He had been calculating all these days, even sneaking up the watchtower to calibrate directions.

For three consecutive days, the tunnel’s progress was relentless, accumulating several cartloads of dirt daily. If it weren’t for the North Gate’s guard being Shangguan Jian’s confidant, they would’ve long been discovered.

"Alright, you should go rest; you still need to go to the dungeon tomorrow and need plenty of energy. Leave the tunnel digging to me." Shangguan Jian offered a cup of water to Xue San and spoke gently.

"Yes, Xue San, you should go rest. Leave the heavy labor of outside tunnel digging to me." Man Cang emerged from the tunnel with a shovel.

"Alright, just dig in this direction, you won’t be wrong." Having been running around these days, working as a prison guard by day, Xue San was indeed a bit exhausted.

"By the way, how’s your sister-in-law’s situation lately?" Shangguan Jian asked.

"Rest assured, the dungeon boss is ruthless towards other prisoners but wouldn’t dare to breathe heavily around my sister-in-law, serving her lavish meals as if she were an affluent city resident." Xue San continued, "I think it’s because Mi Wen instructed in advance."

"Would she poison sister-in-law in the meals?" Man Cang pursued.

"That...won’t happen. If Mi Wen wanted to kill sister-in-law, she wouldn’t need such elaborate measures."
