The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1750: Determined

After looking at the photos in Zhang Ting’s phone, although Ye Shikai still couldn’t recall anything, at least it showed that the policewoman in front of him wasn’t a bad person and that she was his friend.

"Zhang, your friend seems to have lost his memory." Director Chen asked curiously. Ye Shikai wasn’t acting crazy, so he probably wasn’t mentally ill; it looked more like symptoms of amnesia.

"It’s possible. My friend’s job is rather dangerous, and he’s been missing recently. We’ve been looking for him, and I didn’t expect him to show up in Linxian. How about this, Director Chen, I’ll take him back to Yanjing first. If he really is sick, he can get better treatment there." Zhang Ting said calmly.

"Alright, you can take him away now."

Zhang Ting looked at Ye Shikai. He still had a doubtful expression on his face, but in the end he didn’t refuse her request. The two of them got into the car, and Zhang Ting planned to drive him back to Yanjing overnight. Looking at the man in the passenger seat, Zhang Ting couldn’t help but sigh. Right now, Ye Shikai seemed dazed and absent-minded, and he didn’t even recognize her anymore. He probably had lost his memory, and she had no idea where he’d been all this time.

"Are you hungry? There’s some bread in the car."

"I’m not."

"Where on earth have you been all this time? Do you have any idea how worried we’ve all been about you?" Zhang Ting asked. She knew Ye Shikai was not someone who liked to fool around. For him to disappear for so long, he must have his reasons. When Su Qingyu learned he’d gone missing, she immediately reported it to the police, and that was how Zhang Ting found out. So she was also eager to get to the bottom of it.

"I... I went to the Qin Dynasty." Ye Shikai muttered.

"What, the Qin Dynasty? Is that a place name?" Zhang Ting wondered if she’d misheard.

"It’s not a place name, it’s the Qin Dynasty from more than two thousand years ago. I time-traveled." Ye Shikai said firmly.

"You’re still messing around. Do you take me for an idiot? Time-traveled? Why don’t you say you went to the future." Of course Zhang Ting wasn’t that easy to convince. She was a police officer, after all; suspicion was an occupational disease. Besides, "time travel" only happened on TV. She wasn’t about to believe such a "fairy tale."

"It’s true, I’m not lying to you."

"Enough. You’ve really disappointed me. You were missing, fine, but why do you have to make up stories like this? Do you know how worried we were?" Zhang Ting snapped, displeased.

"I really didn’t lie." Ye Shikai looked very innocent. He was telling the truth, but no one would believe him.

"Right, how long have I been missing?"

"About... a little over two months."

"Two months? How can it be only two months? I’ve already been there for two years." Ye Shikai looked stunned. He hadn’t expected that after living in the Qin Dynasty for nearly two years, less than two months had passed here. Maybe the time in the two worlds was different to begin with.

"Wait, I can’t leave." Ye Shikai suddenly shouted. It hit him all of a sudden: now that he had traveled back, what about He Linghan, and Shangguan Jian and the others? Where were they now?

"What is it?" Zhang Ting pulled the car over and asked curiously.

"I have to go find someone." Ye Shikai pushed the car door open. He couldn’t leave Linxian. He had been killed by Mi Wen at the execution ground in "Lin Xiaang," and when he time-traveled back he was still in Linxian. That meant there had to be a connection. He couldn’t just leave like this, not knowing anything. He had to find He Linghan.

Ye Shikai’s attitude was very firm. He got out of the car and started walking back, and Zhang Ting hurriedly chased after him.

"Are you crazy? All of us have been looking for you, and now you want to go look for someone else." Zhang Ting grabbed his arm, but Ye Shikai shook her off.

"I’m not crazy. Whether you believe me or not, I have to go back."

"Fine, then tell me who you’re looking for. I’ll ask my colleagues to help." Unable to talk him out of it, Zhang Ting had no choice but to agree.

"Her name is He Linghan. She’s my wife." Ye Shikai said.

"What? Your wife isn’t Chen Yuxin from the Chen family?" Zhang Ting was baffled. Back when he and Chen Yuxin had their wedding, it was a grand affair that the whole city knew about. But now, who was this "He Linghan" he was talking about?

"Wait, who is He Linghan?"

"She’s the wife I married in the Qin Dynasty. I have to go back to find her now."

"You really are crazy." Zhang Ting stood there in shock. She suspected that Ye Shikai had developed delusions and was making things up out of thin air.

"Alright, alright, I’ll take you back to look for her, but at least get in the car. How far can you go on just your two legs?"

....................................

The next day

"Miss Su, that’s the situation. He refuses to go back now, and he won’t listen no matter what I say. Also, I can’t get in touch with Miss Chen, so I could only come to you." Zhang Ting dialed Su Qingyu’s number. Chen Yuxin was at the Kunlun Mountain ruins, so Zhang Ting had no choice but to look for Su Qingyu first. After all, she was still Ye Shikai’s ex-wife.

"Thank you so much, Officer Zhang. I’ll book a flight right away and I’ll be there this afternoon."

"Mm, let’s leave it at that." Zhang Ting hung up, then looked at Ye Shikai beside her. He was wolfing down instant noodles. His face and clothes were filthy, as if he hadn’t bathed in a long time. In her impression, Ye Shikai had always been very particular about cleanliness and would never be this sloppy.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Ting walked over to him and saw the map in his hand. It wasn’t a modern map but a very old one, and it was written on cloth.

"A map. I have to find a way to go back." The map in Ye Shikai’s hand was a map of the Qin Dynasty, which he’d kept in his Storage Ring. He had also found a modern map and was comparing and marking them.

"Go back? You’ve already come back. Where else do you want to go back to?" Zhang Ting retorted.

"Of course back to the Qin Dynasty. I have to find Ling’er." Ye Shikai was absolutely convinced that He Linghan wasn’t dead. That day at the execution ground, he was the one who died, but He Linghan didn’t. He had to go back and look for her, no matter what the cost.

"You..." Zhang Ting was so angry she was at a loss for words. They had finally found him, only for Ye Shikai to have turned into a "lunatic."

"Forget it. Anyway, Miss Su will be here this afternoon. When the time comes, I’ll hand you over to her and my task will be done."

"Qingyu, Qingyu..." Ye Shikai suddenly seemed to remember something and kept murmuring under his breath.

"Hey, you obviously still remember. You’re not amnesiac at all, so why did you pretend not to know me?" Zhang Ting heard him muttering Su Qingyu’s name and instantly felt a surge of anger.

"What’s with you, what are you keeping quiet for?"

"I have to go back and find Ling’er."

"Forget it, there’s just no talking to you."
