The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1789: Lies

"Really no?" Ye Shikai retorted, his hands tightly gripping the tray.

"No."

"Haha, that’s really interesting then." Ye Shikai suddenly laughed.

"Kai, what are you talking about? Why are you asking me this?" Chen Yuxin seemed somewhat guilty. Of course, while she may still lie confidently to others, she was only guilty towards Ye Shikai, especially at this moment, when her biggest worry was Ye Shikai’s aversion to her.

"Xin, even now, you’re still lying to me, aren’t you?" Ye Shikai threw the tray to the side.

Boom.

The tray smashed on the ground, producing a loud noise that startled Chen Yuxin, making her shudder.

"Kai, what... what do you mean?"

"Just two days ago, when you took the trail up the mountain, you sent members of the Shadow Organization to disband Nightmare, didn’t you?" Ye Shikai scolded coldly, leaving Chen Yuxin suddenly flustered upon hearing it.

"No, really no."

"You’re still saying no." If not for a shred of sanity, Ye Shikai nearly rushed forward to slap her, but considering Chen Yuxin’s pregnancy, he wouldn’t lay a hand on her.

"Yesterday they told me everything. Even now, you’re still trying to argue. What kind of woman are you?" Ye Shikai shouted angrily, leaving Chen Yuxin both shocked and flustered. She never expected that Nightmare and Ghost had met with Ye Shikai the night before, her lies exposed, she knew what awaited her, as Ye Shikai hated betrayal and lies the most.

"Kai, it’s not like that, you need to listen to my explanation." Chen Yuxin quickly stepped forward, but Ye Shikai was already thoroughly disappointed, how could he calm down?

"Fine, how will you explain? Speak." Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Feng Ling and Xue Ming outside the door were worried Chen Yuxin was in danger and naturally approached, but seeing the two arguing, they didn’t step in to stop it. After all, Ye Shikai was still the son-in-law of the Chen Family, and arguments were the couple’s own business, as subordinates, they just needed to follow orders.

"Kai, that day I found someone tracking us, but I really didn’t know their identities. That trail is a shortcut, it must not be known to other families, so I ordered Feng Ling and the others to kill and silence."

"Utterly ridiculous." Ye Shikai said coldly, pushing Chen Yuxin aside.

"Had you never seen them before? Do your subordinates not recognize them?" Ye Shikai mocked, "You’ve fought them several times before. I know you’ve been always looking for trouble with Ghost and the others, but I didn’t think you would go straight for the kill."

"Kai, I didn’t do it on purpose, you have to believe me."

"Just now, I would rather you admitted it voluntarily, how I wished it was truly a misunderstanding. But now it seems, when you ordered to intercept and kill them, there was likely not a trace of hesitation in your heart." Ye Shikai spoke coldly.

"It’s not like that, it’s not like that."

"Truly a pity, I just regret I had eyes but couldn’t see, failing to realize you’re such a woman with a venomous heart and mind." Ye Shikai said, intending to leave the camp.

"Please stay, son-in-law." At the entrance, Feng Ling and Xue Ming immediately stopped him.

"What, relying on you two to stop me?" Ye Shikai sneered.

"Son-in-law, the Family Head hasn’t allowed you to leave, please reconsider." Feng Ling advised, as the leaders of the Shadow Organization, they were Chen Yuxin’s trusted aides, always compliant with her orders, yet they underestimated Ye Shikai’s resolve and strength.

In the past, Feng Ling’s strength was no less than Ye Shikai’s, but now, even two Feng Lings might not be his match.

"Son-in-law, please return, otherwise we’ll show no mercy." Xue Ming, with her proud nature, spared no courtesy.

"Fine, if you wish to resort to force, I’d like to see what you’re capable of." As soon as Ye Shikai finished speaking, Xue Ming’s dagger was already pressed against his neck.

"Xue Ming, don’t be reckless." Feng Ling worried she’d act rashly, urgently advised.

"Fine, then let’s see what you’ve got." Ye Shikai extended his hand, seemingly "slow," but the two could only watch with their eyes wide open, Xue Ming wanted to act, but it seemed as if her hand didn’t obey, it wasn’t that Ye Shikai’s move was slow, on the contrary, he was too fast for them to react.

Ye Shikai stretched out his fingers and flicked the dagger’s blade lightly.

Scratch, scratch.

As Xue Ming recovered, she hastily withdrew her hand, leaving the sharp dagger with only a grip, the blade turned into shards, scattered on the ground.

"You’re not my match, I’ll spare you based on being her subordinates." Just as Ye Shikai intended to leave, Chen Yuxin ran out of the tent to block his way.

"Kai, please don’t be angry." Chen Yuxin pleaded bitterly, seeing this, Xue Ming and Feng Ling dared not linger and had to retreat for now.

"You did so many things and now you still want me not to be angry." Ye Shikai had nothing left to say, he just wanted to leave here quickly.

"I promise I’ll never make a move against them again, whatever they want regarding past issues, I’ll accept, okay?"

"This time, no matter what, I will not forgive you."

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

"Ghost, are we just going down the mountain like this?" Meanwhile, Nightmare and Ghost retraced their way down the mountain, along the way, Nightmare remained very uneasy. Having just succeeded as Netherworld King, usually calm he suddenly found himself at a loss.

"Since the Boss said so, we’ll comply. He worries we might face further mishaps, after all, the core of the Netherworld Palace only includes us few now."

"Nightmare, oh no, I should call you Netherworld King now." Ghost suddenly teased, "From now on, we’ll follow your lead."

Ghost greatly endorsed Ye Shikai’s decision. In theory, he was the Brain of the Netherworld Palace, always considering himself the number two, yet Ye Shikai did not choose him, for two reasons: first, Nightmare’s martial skill in the Netherworld Palace was second only to Ye Shikai’s, as Netherworld King, personal strength must be formidable; the second and most important, compared to Ghost, Nightmare could fully invest his heart in the Netherworld Palace, since Ghost currently had another identity as "Gu Li" in Huaxia.

"Indeed, Nightmare, now that you’re the Netherworld King, let’s hear your plans." Wang Kai inquired.

"I plan to return to the Netherworld Palace, since the Boss has granted me the position of Netherworld King, I must also revitalize it." Nightmare asserted firmly.

"Good, if so, we’ll return, waiting for the right time, then we’ll seek revenge on Doris."
