The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1843: Disciplining Feng Ling

The disappearance case has been resolved, and the mastermind is Huo Hua, who has already succumbed to poison. This is the final conclusion of the case. Although not all the missing persons were found, most have been located and, after hospital recovery, were gradually sent back to Yanjing and the central plains. This case is considered to be concluded, although it’s regrettable that not everyone was found, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If not for Ye Shikai’s help, it’s doubtful whether these twenty-odd people could be found. Moreover, the disappearance case might have continued indefinitely.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Ting hurriedly walked out of the hospital, blocking Ye Shikai’s path.

"What’s the matter? Do you have something more to say?"

"What are you planning to do staying here alone?" Zhang Ting retorted.

"Huo Hua is just a small fry. When we found him, he was destined to be merely a pawn. To the organization behind everything, he was just someone that could be discarded or replaced at any moment, without significance." Ye Shikai continued, "If we don’t uproot the whole organization, the disappearance cases will definitely happen again, and it might not be in Yanjing and the central plains this time. It could be in the East Sea, in Chang’an, or even in Hong Kong."

"I must stay behind to handle them." Ye Shikai said resolutely.

"Then I want to stay too. Not only that, I’ll personally report to the director and bring reinforcements. It’s so dangerous here in Hong Kong; you’re too isolated and vulnerable." Zhang Ting was also quite "righteous," with a look of unwavering loyalty.

"Zhang Ting, it’s not that I want to mock you, but this case is beyond your capabilities. They’re all cultivators. If you went, it would only add to the danger. Even if the police actually sent people, I fear it wouldn’t make a difference." Ye Shikai sighed helplessly. Just from today’s scene alone, Huo Hua, as a cultivator, though unarmed, gave several fully equipped, rigorously trained SAD members a headache. They exerted themselves fully to subdue him, ultimately requiring Ye Shikai’s intervention to restrain him.

"Even if I’m not their match, I can’t just leave you alone here. It was I who requested you, dragging you into this case. Now, how could I leave you here and walk away?" Zhang Ting said firmly. Though she normally couldn’t resist finding fault with Ye Shikai, she couldn’t shake off her concerns during crucial moments.

"Don’t worry, I have ways to handle things. To tell you the truth, the National Security Bureau personnel will arrive tomorrow, the Divine Weapon Special Group—you remember them, right?" Ye Shikai reassured, mentioning that Hong Kong was a particularly unique location, making it most fitting for Tianjing and their group to come, as they were also cultivators, adequately capable of handling things.

"Of course I remember them, but..."

"Enough, Zhang Ting, the disappearance case has been resolved. You’re a police officer, so you must return and report. Leave it to me here; rest assured."

Next day, Hong Kong Airport.

"You seem so reluctant to leave me, don’t you usually mock me?" Ye Shikai teased her. He knew Zhang Ting had heavy thoughts, and leaving like this made her feel somewhat guilty. Perhaps she also understood how terrifying the organization behind everything was, with so many "Death Soldiers" cultivated through special capsules. Yet she knew her own limits; her abilities wouldn’t be helpful.

"Phoo-phoo-phoo, I’m not reluctant to leave you. I’m just concerned you’ll die here, with no one to collect your body."

"Alright, your reluctance is written all over your face. I probably won’t take long to come back. Hurry back to Yanjing; this case involved so many missing persons. You solved it, that’s no small achievement."

"Hold on, this achievement... should be yours." Zhang Ting retorted. She wanted the honor, but she initially bet with Ye Shikai that if Zhang Ting won, the credit would be hers, but in fact, Ye Shikai won. Being totally honest, Ye Shikai was the protagonist in solving the case; Zhang Ting only cooperated and was even "captured" once.

"I’m not a police officer, at most they would award me a ’Bravery Award,’ so you take it. No need to argue further." Ye Shikai insisted on letting Zhang Ting have the accolade—not deliberately to please her, but indeed he found no use for the "honor," better left to Zhang Ting.

Having sent off Zhang Ting, Ye Shikai suddenly felt much lighter. This justice-filled female officer, though passionate, at times really knows how to "create trouble." Sending her off, Ye Shikai would find operating alone much easier.

"Sir-in-law, since the case is solved, isn’t it time to return to Yanjing with your subordinates?" At this moment, Feng Ling appeared before Ye Shikai, saying very "ill-timed" words.

"My actions don’t need interference from a servant." Ye Shikai said coldly, "Feng Ling, I’ve warned you before; if you keep doing this, don’t blame me for acting."

"Feng Ling doesn’t dare defy, but please, sir-in-law, think more for the Family Head. This case unrelated to you or the Chen family, none of the involved are connected in any way. Conversely, if you insist on investigating further and offend the organization behind everything, it’s inevitable the Chen family will be implicated."

Slap.

Suddenly, Ye Shikai swung his arm, leaving a red palm mark on Feng Ling’s face. The crisp sound of the slap scared nearby passersby into retreat.

Ye Shikai almost never hits women—it’s a basic attribute for a gentleman. But Feng Ling’s actions had made him extremely annoyed, not just her. None of the Chen family members sincerely treated him as the "master" but merely showed false humility because of Chen Yuxin.

This slap was meant to warn Feng Ling and the Chen family that he was not a puppet to be manipulated.

"If you’re afraid of implicating the Chen family, then leave for Yanjing at once. Tell Chen Yuxin, if she’s afraid of implications, I’m not afraid. I have the entire Netherworld Palace at my disposal. Things your Shadow Organization dares not handle, I handle. Things you fear to touch, I touch."

"Sir-in-law, I still advise you to act cautiously."

"Then here’s my advice: buy a ticket back to Yanjing immediately; otherwise, have the Family Head come to collect your body." After finishing speaking, Ye Shikai departed the airport. Though he initially planned to stay here to receive Tianjing and the others, he no longer wished Feng Ling to appear by his side. Thus, he’d have Tianjing and them go directly to the hotel.

Feng Ling’s words thoroughly enraged Ye Shikai, prompting him to slap her in public. He did not regret it one bit; he harbored significant resentment towards the Shadow Organization. Many brothers from the Netherworld Palace once died at their hands.
