The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1752: The Missing "Tomb

"Who exactly is Ling’er?" Su Qingyu curiously asked. Ever since she entered the room, she had been hearing Ye Shikai muttering this name, and according to Zhang Ting, Ye Shikai seemed to have lost a lot of memories.

"Boss, where have you been these past two months?" Worm also inquired.

"Ling’er, Ling’er..." Ye Shikai did not answer. He seemed to be in a trance, with unclear consciousness, continually murmuring He Linghan’s name.

"Zhang Ting, what on earth is going on?" Without a response from Ye Shikai, Su Qingyu had to inquire from Zhang Ting nearby.

"Well..." Zhang Ting was somewhat at a loss. She still hadn’t figured out everything. First, Ye Shikai disappeared for two months without a trace, then she happened to meet him while on a business trip to Linxian, and then heard him speaking about ’time travel’ and such, which completely baffled Zhang Ting.

Half an hour later.

"That’s the situation. To be honest, I don’t really understand what he was saying." Zhang Ting recounted to Su Qingyu and the others what Ye Shikai had told her.

"Traveled back to the Qin Dynasty."

"Even got married."

"And now he’s back."

"What the heck is this." Zi Yun also found it absurd, especially the time travel part; it seemed like pure fantasy. She was more inclined to believe that Ye Shikai had lost his mind.

"Maybe Boss experienced some incidents that injured his brain, causing some chaotic memories," Worm analyzed.

"That possibility can’t be ruled out. I’ve seen people who have lost their memory after a car accident or a head injury, and some who talk nonsense." Zhang Ting added, suggesting that Ye Shikai had probably suffered severe trauma or was stimulated somehow, causing his mind to become somewhat unstable.

"Enough, if you don’t want to believe it, fine, but to say something’s wrong with my mind—everything is true. Believe it or not, I’m going to find someone." Ye Shikai, slightly displeased, shouted and prepared to leave the room.

"Zhang Ting, don’t forget to help me fix my phone. If it’s beyond repair, try to save the photos inside; if that’s not possible, then forget it."

"Alright."

"Wait, don’t go." Su Qingyu rushed forward to stop Ye Shikai.

"Qingyu, many things have happened recently that I can’t explain in a short time, and even if I could, you might not believe me. Now I really have an urgent matter to handle." Ye Shikai took a map from the table and left the hotel.

The group, still concerned, followed behind Ye Shikai, watching him move away from the city center towards the mountains in the suburbs. Reluctantly at Zhang Ting’s repeated requests, Ye Shikai finally got into the car, and a group of five headed towards the suburbs.

"It should be here." Ye Shikai got out of the car and ran frantically up the mountain.

"Hey, slow down." Zhang Ting called from behind; she was a sprint champion at the police station but couldn’t keep up with Ye Shikai at all, much less Su Qingyu and Zi Yun.

"It’s impossible. It should be right here. Where did the tomb go?" Ye Shikai was shocked. He clearly remembered that he came out of the tomb here last night and saw a signpost when he went down the mountain. How could he not find it now?

"What are you looking for?" Zhang Ting asked.

"A tomb. I came out of it yesterday."

"What, are you crazy, going into a tomb?" Zhang Ting was quite shocked after hearing this.

"You think I wanted to? I traveled back and found myself in a tomb. I can’t figure it out either, so I must find it quickly." Ye Shikai was unable to find the original tomb entrance and seemed a bit anxious.

"How could there be a tomb here? The entrance would be so obvious. If it really existed, it would’ve been discovered long ago." Zhang Ting also found nothing and even asked local villagers, who had never heard of a tomb nearby.

"It really exists." Ye Shikai said firmly, explaining to Zhang Ting, "The tomb entrance was blocked from the outside by a stone previously, so outsiders might not spot it."

"Ahem, Miss Su, please wait here. We’ll search for it. It’s a mountain here, and your outfit makes it inconvenient to walk." Worm advised. Su Qingyu was in office attire and wearing high heels; she intended to have a meeting in the afternoon and rushed to catch a flight to Linxian without time to change.

"Alright, then please watch out for him."

"Rest assured."

Late at night.

"How did it go, did you find anything?" Ye Shikai inquired. The group had been searching all afternoon but found nothing. The area was barren, with no traces of a tomb being uncovered on the mountain. Inquiry with surrounding villagers also yielded no knowledge of any crypt here.

"No."

"No."

"Nothing here either."

"Alright, regardless, let’s go down and get something to eat first. Besides, it’s pitch dark here; you won’t find anything even if you want to." Zhang Ting suggested.

"Okay then, let’s go down the mountain first." Ye Shikai, disheartened, was a cultivator and had searched half the mountain all afternoon but still found no trace of a tomb. He was certain the approximate location wasn’t wrong but couldn’t understand why he couldn’t find it.

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

"You’re finally back. Must be hungry, right? I bought dinner, come and eat." Su Qingyu, sitting in the car, distributed the dinner she bought to everyone. Ye Shikai, sitting in the front passenger seat, was devouring his meal.

Su Qingyu, on the other hand, silently watched him with a complex mix of emotions. She still deeply loved this man, but the reality was that they were already divorced, and Chen Yuxin was pregnant with his child. She could only keep her love hidden in her heart.

"By the way, where are Ji Qian and Nightmare?" Ye Shikai mentioned Ji Qian’s name, causing a spark of joy among them, but Zhang Ting also said he seemed to have selective amnesia, retaining some memories while truly forgetting others.

"They went to Kunlun Mountain. I heard the ruins there have reopened, and many cultivator families from Huaxia are gathering there."

"Boss, so many things happened while you were gone." Worm continued, "After the Main God Conference, you disappeared, and the elite of the Three Temples were ambushed on the Holy Mountain, severely depleted, and the War God Temple was... destroyed by Doris."

"What about Wang Kai, is he okay?" Ye Shikai asked urgently.

"Don’t worry, Lord War God was seriously injured but has been treated by Lord Moon God. Now the survivors of the War God Temple are with the Ji Family." Worm explained. Ye Shikai desperately tried to recall the events of the last Main God Conference, but he had forgotten most of it. He vaguely remembered the members of the Three Temples falling into Doris’s ambush, and then... then Ji Qian was poisoned, and it was a very potent toxin...
