The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1796: Someone Has Arrived

Ye Shikai searched through the surrounding houses and rooms but found nothing. Apart from some treasures, there was no trace of the rumored energy. Ye Shikai didn’t feel any strong energy fluctuations. During the two times he crossed over, the energy had been incredibly powerful and couldn’t be hidden. But now, Ye Shikai couldn’t sense the slightest bit of energy. Could it really just be a legend?

No, that’s impossible. Ye Shikai didn’t believe it. Since he had personally traveled across twice, it suggested that this energy did exist. He didn’t believe the rumors were baseless; he just hadn’t found it yet.

Thud, thud, thud.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from not far away. Everyone immediately realized that the family behind them must have followed. Chen Yuxin ordered everyone to prepare for battle. The treasures they had in hand, she absolutely couldn’t let them go easily.

"Who goes there?" Feng Ling led the members of the Shadow Organization to block the newcomers.

"Li Family, Li Changtian. You should be from the Chen family, right?" The leading man said calmly. It was none other than the team from the Li and Ji families. Coincidentally, with a one in four probability, the two families chose the same path as the Chen family.

"The Family Head is ahead, please wait." Feng Ling said coldly.

"You’re joking. If we wait any longer, won’t the treasures be monopolized by you?" Naturally, Li Changtian wasn’t willing to be outdone. Reaching this point, the Li family had also suffered considerable losses, only for the Chen family to "cut in" at the end. And now, the Chen family wouldn’t let them get any treasures.

Not only the Li family, but even the members of the Ji family were also indignant. The Chen family wanting to monopolize was too arrogant. Did they think the two families were made of mud and could be easily bullied? Especially the Ji family, since both they and the Chen family were in Yanjing. There had been conflicts before, and if the Chen family’s strength increased, it would be a blatant threat to the Ji family.

"Without the Family Head’s orders, none of you can come through." Feng Ling led the people, defending the passage. The confrontation was on the verge of erupting.

"Wait a moment." At this time, Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, squeezed through the crowd, and stepped between the two sides.

"Brother-in-law, you..."

"Don’t speak; I’m in charge here." Before Feng Ling could finish, Ye Shikai interrupted.

"Senior Li, Mr. Ji." Ye Shikai walked to the two family heads, bowed respectfully, and spoke calmly.

"Ye, I didn’t expect you to be here. I hope you haven’t forgotten our previous agreement." Upon seeing Ye Shikai, Li Changtian’s anger diminished a bit. When they first arrived at Kunlun Mountain, Ye Shikai and Li Changtian had made an alliance.

"Of course, it was just a misunderstanding earlier. Please, everyone." Ye Shikai signaled for the two families to join and split the treasures. Even though Feng Ling and Xue Ming wanted to stop, seeing that Chen Yuxin wasn’t stopping them, they refrained, thus avoiding a battle.

Chen Yuxin didn’t stop it, partly because she didn’t want to fight to the death with the two families, and also because she didn’t want Ye Shikai to have a conflict. Since he agreed, Chen Yuxin didn’t mind sharing some of the treasures, especially since most of them were already stored in Ye Shikai’s storage ring.

"Are you okay?" At this moment, Ji Qian also came over. Seeing that Ye Shikai was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Ye Shikai said calmly.

"I’m sorry, last time I had a bad temper and couldn’t hold back, that’s why..."

"It’s fine, don’t feel guilty. See, I’m fine. Besides, it was partly my fault." Ye Shikai gave a bitter smile. Last time Ji Qian got angry and drove him away, but she regretted it afterward, though he fell into deep thought. Given how things developed, he naturally had a responsibility.

"Kai, you’re here." Chen Yuxin came to his side, and upon seeing Ji Qian there too, a trace of different emotion flashed on her face, but she didn’t say anything. With so many people present, it wasn’t appropriate for them to quarrel.

"Let’s go, there are more things ahead." Chen Yuxin took his arm. Ye Shikai didn’t refuse, said a word of farewell to Ji Qian, and left.

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

"Kai, it was only because of you that I allowed the treasure to be shared with those two families." Chen Yuxin suddenly said.

"What, did you really want to fight them?" Ye Shikai retorted.

"Do you think I would lose?"

"The Ji and Li families aren’t ordinary families. They have plenty of experts under them, especially the Li family; they’re the top of the three big families in Chang’an." If a fight truly broke out, Ye Shikai didn’t think the Chen family would prevail.

"And you? If a fight broke out, would you help me or Miss Ji?" Chen Yuxin looked up at him, their eyes meeting. She was serious about this question.

"Precisely because it’s her, I won’t let you fight. Here, a fight would benefit no one." Ye Shikai didn’t answer directly. He knew what Chen Yuxin wanted to hear, but he wouldn’t say it.

"I’m asking, if it came to a fight."

"Xin, stop being unreasonable, okay?" Ye Shikai rolled his eyes and said no more.

"So, you would help her, right? No wonder, she was always by your side when you were in danger." Chen Yuxin said somewhat self-deprecatingly, but there was an unmistakable tone of jealousy in her words. Yet, she spoke the truth. Ji Qian was a "foolish" woman, so "foolish" that she knew she wouldn’t end up with Ye Shikai, yet she was willing to help him, at all costs, even risking her life...

"If you recklessly fight with them, I will be in a difficult position. I won’t help anyone, but I will stop you."

The three families gathered together to collect treasures. Although they didn’t fight, they remained wary of each other. The Chen family came early and had already acquired most of the treasures, leaving the remainder for the other two families.

"Ye Shikai, could you come over for a moment?" Li Yueying suddenly approached him and said softly.

"Is there something you need, Miss Li?"

They went to a quiet corner. Regarding Li Yueying, Ye Shikai didn’t feel much. She was the eldest daughter of the Li family. Though young, she was quite cunning, and he knew to be cautious whether cooperating or negotiating with her.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, of course." Ye Shikai shrugged. "Miss Li, you’re not just concerned about me, are you?"

"Of course not. But if something happened to you, the Li family would lose a partner, wouldn’t they?"

"Alright, time’s short. Let’s be direct. Why did you call me?"
