The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1820: Seeing an Acquaintance

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Ting asked curiously while eating the meal Ye Shikai had brought.

"I’m thinking about why those criminals suddenly stopped. Could it be that we’ve alerted them?" Ye Shikai said blandly. This isn’t a good thing. The enemy is in the dark while we’re in the light. Now that these people have been disturbed, it will certainly be even harder to catch them in the future.

"It’s possible, but we’ve been quietly investigating the case, how did they know?" Zhang Ting retorted.

"Maybe every move we make is under their watch, and we’re being followed wherever we go."

"That’s... too scary. If that’s really the case, they must have already left Yanjing. How can we catch them?" Zhang Ting suddenly stood up and said excitedly.

"Don’t get too excited, this is just my speculation." Ye Shikai motioned Zhang Ting to stay calm. Everything at present is his conjecture, the real situation may not be like this. But if it is true as he said, it would be difficult. If the criminals really left Yanjing, they would definitely continue to commit crimes elsewhere. Huaxia is so large; it’s not easy to catch them.

"I hope they haven’t left yet. However, I still need to report to the director. If these criminals have indeed gone to other places, we need to collaborate in the investigation and apprehension." Zhang Ting acted on her words, leaving her meal unfinished as she ran to the director’s office.

"Such impatience," Ye Shikai sighed. He doesn’t intend to give up on investigating the case, but the current situation is indeed tricky. Without new cases, there are no new leads, and right now, all Ye Shikai has is that fire scene investigation report.

Yanjing, Netherworld Palace base.

"Greetings, sir."

"Greetings, sir."

As soon as Ye Shikai arrived at the base, several people came out. Soul Destroyer’s injuries have nearly healed, Nightmare and Ghost have already seen him, but Demoness and Soul Destroyer went down the mountain early and are meeting him for the first time since Ye Shikai’s disappearance, which makes the encounter particularly exciting.

"Boss, you’re finally back."

"How are you, Soul Destroyer, have the injuries healed?" Ye Shikai inquired.

"Don’t worry, Boss. However, those women from the Shadow Organization were really vicious. I almost died there."

Speaking of the Shadow Organization, the atmosphere in the room changed. Everyone knows, they are all under Chen Yuxin, yet Ye Shikai still stays with the Chen family, which leaves everyone confused about where the stand is. Are the leaders of the Shadow Organization enemies or allies?

"Nightmare, what’s the situation now?" Ye Shikai changed the subject, directing his gaze at Nightmare.

"Our people have already returned to the European headquarters, recruiting staff and expanding strength," Nightmare reported.

"Very good, you are now the Netherworld King. All matters, big and small, are for you to decide." Ye Shikai nodded.

"Sir, I’m planning to leave Yanjing and return after the European headquarters is rebuilt. What do you think?"

"Didn’t I say, it’s up to you," Ye Shikai continued, "but I agree with your decision. Yanjing, after all, is not our home ground and is not a place to linger. Returning to headquarters to regroup, Netherworld Palace has lost too many experts over this period. Restoring our strength won’t be easy."

"Don’t worry, sir, I’ll give it my all."

"Very good."

Ye Shikai spent a while at the base, though this isn’t the base of Netherworld Palace in Yanjing; the original one was destroyed. This place was originally the base of the Moon God Temple in Yanjing before Netherworld Palace came. Ji Qian naturally had no objections, and since returning to the Ji family, she has relaxed her management of the Moon God Temple, leaving many matters to Selena.

"Boss, can you tell us now how you disappeared back then? We almost turned the Holy Mountain upside down." Soul Destroyer inquired curiously. In fact, everyone is curious, but back then at Kunlun Mountain, time was tight, and Ye Shikai couldn’t explain many things.

"Okay, let me tell you, but I’m afraid you won’t believe it. Sit down, or you’ll be too startled to stand later."

Two hours later.

Ye Shikai recounted all the events from his time in the Qin Dynasty, but having spent two years in the Qin Country, there were so many occurrences that couldn’t be covered in just two hours, so he could only focus on the highlights.

"So... Boss, you married a girl in the Qin Dynasty, and she looked exactly like Su." Everyone was shocked upon hearing this; such a "plot" could easily be dismissed as nonsense if not recounted by Ye Shikai himself.

"Pretty much, but she’s already dead now." Ye Shikai sighed. He Linghan has always been a hurdle in his heart, but he later accepted the reality. He loved He Linghan deeply, and still does, but ultimately, they are not from the same era. Meeting was a chance event, and not being able to be together now is just a regret.

"It’s truly regrettable."

"Boss, what are your plans now? Will you continue to stay with the Chen family?" Ghost asked.

"Xin is pregnant now, and if everything goes well, she’ll give birth in a few months. So, I’ll stay here," Ye Shikai explained.

"Alright then, Boss, take care here."

"Ghost, you still have Gu Xin to care for in the East Sea; head back soon so that girl doesn’t wait too long."

"Don’t worry, Boss, I’ve already told her that I’ve met some friends in Yanjing and will stay a few more days. It’s hard to find a chance to rest, if I return to the East Sea now, who knows when we’ll meet again next time."

"Alright then, stay a few more days."

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

Ye Shikai left the base and drove to another place.

"Hey, it’s been a while, why are you here?" As soon as he arrived at Tianya Group, Ye Shikai encountered An Lan. She was about to go to a meeting; though she had worried knowing about Ye Shikai’s disappearance, after Su Qingyu told her he was found in Linxian, she felt relieved.

"Lan, it’s been a long time. I’m here to find Qingyu," Ye Shikai explained.

"Alright, I’ll call her down. She should be in the meeting room now."

"If you have a meeting to attend, go ahead. I can wait in the department for a while."

"Well, if you go to the department, those young girls will surely be excited." An Lan smiled slightly. Ye Shikai returned to the public relations department. Reflecting on his time here as a white-collar worker living a regular life, though mundane, it felt more like normal life.
