The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1840: Preparing to Act

Ye Shikai didn’t expect that such a large Wu Family would also lack cultivation resources, and looking at Wu Yu’s stance, he would take as much as he could get, no matter how much, the Wu Family could "consume" it all.

Among these cultivation families, cultivation resources are the most valuable "hard currency." Having money doesn’t necessarily mean being able to buy cultivation resources, and once cultivation resources are publicly sold, they are instantly snatched up. It’s understandable since, to these families, money is just a string of numbers, while the amount of cultivation resources basically equates to a cultivator’s strength. Without strength, one is only at the mercy of others, so every time a relic is opened, it attracts many families to go there, all for the cultivation resources inside, as well as some battle treasures.

This time, the Wu Family did not go to the Kunlun Mountain relic. Firstly, Hong Kong is far from Kunlun, and moving out in full force would indeed be inconvenient. Secondly, the Wu Family didn’t have very strong cultivators. In fact, the three major families of Hong Kong have a cultivator scale far smaller than other Huaxia families. The Wu Family wanting so many cultivation resources this time is likely not just for their own use.

And this time at Kunlun Mountain, the biggest winners were the Chen family and Ji family from Yanjing, and the Zheng family from the East Sea. Especially the Chen family, Ye Shikai’s Storage Ring could hold more treasures and cultivation resources, so the Chen family gained the most. Wu Yu’s request made it clear that he understood all this.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think?" Wu Yu asked in return.

"Well... ahem, Mr. Wu, I’ve never involved myself in the Chen Group’s affairs. You should know this. I’m not interested in it, so I’m afraid I can’t agree to this... Of course, I’m not refusing you. I mean, you should talk to Chen Yuxin."

"If Mr. Ye is willing to be a middleman, it would make things much easier for me." Wu Yu clearly hoped that Ye Shikai would persuade Chen Yuxin to agree. He wasn’t really concerned about whether Chen Yuxin would actually agree; he just wanted to find clues.

"If that’s the case, I’ll help you out, but I never involve myself in Chen Group’s business. To be honest, I’m not confident whether she will agree."

"That doesn’t matter. As long as Mr. Ye speaks, I think Miss Chen would be more than willing." Wu Yu said plainly, and at this moment, the attendant handed over the information Yizai had obtained.

"Mr. Ye, this is what you need. Take it, and I wish you a swift resolution to the case."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

"Mr. Ye, I noticed you came alone. Could it be that you don’t have any assistants?" Wu Yu suddenly asked.

"To be honest, I came to Hong Kong to solve the case with a partner, and besides that... there’s also a bodyguard."

"If Mr. Ye is short-handed, I can send people to assist you." Wu Yu suggested, "With my people helping, handling matters in Hong Kong would be much easier for you."

"Thank you very much."

Leaving the Wu Family, it was already afternoon. Ye Shikai held the information Wu Yu gave him, followed by Yizai and several Wu Family experts behind him. They were all personnel allotted to him by Wu Yu. Ye Shikai had no Hidden Guard beside him; although these people were not as good as Hidden Guard, they were cultivators, and the most crucial point was, Yizai grew up mingling in Hong Kong; he’s seen all kinds of people. Having him help investigate the case would definitely make things much more convenient.

"Who are the people behind you, they all don’t look like good guys." Zhang Ting looked at the "black-clothed men" behind Ye Shikai, with a look of displeasure. As a police officer, relying on her professional eye, she could discern a person’s background.

"People here to help us." Ye Shikai said flatly.

"Just them?"

"Young lady, I heard you were easily captured last night. It’s dangerous here, especially the underground casinos. You’d better not go there recklessly." Yizai advised "kindly."

"You..."

"Alright, everyone quiet down." Ye Shikai waved his hand, signaling the two of them to quiet down.

"Yizai, you guys follow behind in your car. These days, you’ll be staying in the hotel with me, sorry to trouble you."

"Since the young master ordered us to follow Mr. Ye’s instructions, we will do as ordered. Mr. Ye, if there’s anything, please feel free to instruct us."

"Alright."

In the hotel.

"Wu Yu is somewhat of a decent person, why would he let these hooligans follow you?" In the room, Zhang Ting was complaining incessantly.

"You shouldn’t always look at others with tinted glasses, okay?" Ye Shikai retorted, "With these people around, we can avoid a lot of trouble. Also, don’t always provoke them; you’re no match for them. If they hurt you, I won’t be able to help you."

"You..."

"Enough, there’s no point in bickering. If we’re going to solve the case, we’ve got to utilize every available person. With such a narrow mindset, how do you plan to solve the case?"

"Tch, do you have any progress then?"

"Take a look at these documents and you’ll know." Ye Shikai handed the files to Zhang Ting.

"Tonight, we act on it."

Yanjing, Tianya Group.

"Qingyu, something bad has happened." An Lan rushed into Su Qingyu’s office, looking flustered, as if something major had occurred.

"What’s wrong, An Lan? You look so panicked."

"There’s just been news from the Wu Group that they’re going to terminate our contract." An Lan said anxiously.

"What did you say?"

"I just got the news; the people at the Wu Group were very firm about canceling the contract. Even if it means paying the penalty, it doesn’t matter to them. They’ve already cut off the cash flow."

"How could this happen?" Su Qingyu was very anxious. The Wu Group and Tianya Group had been cooperating for a long time, and since their collaboration, both parties had gained considerably. Especially for Su Qingyu, these contracts would bring in billions of profits. The sudden breach of contract caught her off guard, without any preparation. She was anxious but also puzzled, as she and Wu Yu had already agreed to cooperate. Why did the other party suddenly breach the agreement?

"I don’t know, but I’ve already sent people to contact the Wu Group." An Lan continued, "Qingyu, their sudden contract termination, even at the cost of paying penalties, with such a firm attitude, must have been planned early on. Without these contracts, we’ll lose a lot of funding, and as a result, the projects in progress might have to stop. If that happens, the group will be in jeopardy."

"No, I must go and talk to Wu Yu personally to find out what’s going on." Su Qingyu said immediately.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you to Hong Kong." An Lan agreed with a nod.
