The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1844: Tianjing Arrives in Hong Kong

An hour later, Ye Shikai lay on the hotel bed, estimating that Tianjing and the others’ plane had landed, he finally dialed the phone.

"Mr. Ye, we have arrived, should we come to find you now?" Tianjing said directly, without beating around the bush.

"Sure, it’s a pity, I was planning to pick you up, but I had some minor issues on my end and had to trouble you to come here yourselves." Ye Shikai gave them the hotel’s location. Tianjing didn’t mind these courtesies; after all, he was an elite from the National Security Bureau and was in work mode, with only the case on his mind.

"No problem, we’ll be there in half an hour."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you here." Ye Shikai hung up the phone, lying on the bed. Today, he had a big outburst at Feng Ling, and she’ll surely restrain herself in the future. Perhaps Chen Yuxin would also stop interfering with his actions. However, speaking of which, he hurriedly left just now and didn’t see where Feng Ling went. She is Chen Yuxin’s confidante, even after being slapped by him, Feng Ling wouldn’t just slink back to Yanjing in disgrace.

Before long, there was a knock at the door. Ye Shikai got up to open it, and there stood the Divine Weapon Special Group, including Feng Ling, along with Shen Wu, Phoenix, and Jing Xie. Four people, two men and two women, and a few technical staff from the National Security Bureau seemed to stay in the next room but did not enter.

"Mr. Ye, we meet again."

"Tianjing, it was impolite of me not to personally greet you at the airport." The two shook hands and spoke, and Ye Shikai invited the four to sit down. His room wasn’t an ordinary guest room but a business suite with a dedicated conference room. Now Huo Hua was dead and the body still in autopsy, but if things went the way Ye Shikai expected, that was the situation. Huo Hua, in the end, was just a small leader, and his death meant little to the organization behind the scenes. At worst, they’d replace him in the mole’s transactions.

"No worries, we’re not here for tourism; solving the case is more important."

"I didn’t expect you to solve the missing person case so quickly." Shen Wu sneered coldly. She had always been prejudiced against Ye Shikai, but she acknowledged his importance in solving the case. Though she wasn’t happy, she just complained mildly.

"Shen Wu, don’t be rude."

"It’s fine, really. Anyway, the fact is, Huo Hua’s kidnapping of these beggars and scavengers is just the surface. I intended to investigate further through him, but he died of poisoning, breaking all leads." Ye Shikai sighed.

"Don’t worry, our purpose here is to deal with this organization behind the scenes. I believe we will find a way." Tianjing reassured him.

"I have some intelligence here regarding Huo Hua." Ye Shikai handed the information he got from Wu Yu to Tianjing.

"Alright, we’ll study it first, and I’m sure we’ll have a breakthrough."

"Okay."

Midnight.

"Mr. Ye, you’re still awake." Tianjing walked into the conference room, seeing Ye Shikai sitting at the table, looking at the printed materials.

"Since there are no leads now, we need to delve into the details, look for clues, right? Though Huo Hua was only a minor figure, I don’t believe his connection to the organization is completely erased. Even if there’s only a trace, it can be deadly."

"I’m not here about the case." Tianjing changed the topic.

"Then what are you here for?"

"Mr. Ye, I’ve heard you’ve given the position of Netherworld King to Nightmare. Is that true?" Tianjing suddenly asked, which caused Ye Shikai’s hands to tremble. Why was Tianjing asking him this?

"It’s true. I thought the National Security Bureau only cared about major affairs in Huaxia; I didn’t expect you to know about this too." Ye Shikai didn’t deny it. He handed the Netherworld King Order to Nightmare and gave him the position because Nightmare was more suited to the role.

"Since that’s the case, would Mr. Ye be interested in joining the National Security Bureau? If it was due to the identity of Netherworld King before, now there shouldn’t be any reason for refusal, right?" Tianjing persuaded, as Ye Shikai waved his hand, so this was his reason for coming. Before, when he was still the Netherworld King, Tianjing had tried to persuade him to join the National Security Bureau, but he politely declined.

"I’m sorry, but I still refuse." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Why is that?"

"It’s quite simple—I’m not like you people."

"What do you mean by ’you people,’ Mr. Ye?" Tianjing asked in return.

"Literally. Although I’m no longer the Netherworld King, fundamentally, we’re just not the same kind of people. To be honest, if it were more than a year ago, I might have agreed, but the current me, let’s forget about it." Ye Shikai murmured.

"If that’s the case, I won’t persuade you further. Even though our paths differ, we still aim for the same goal. Just like now, aren’t we working together to solve this case?"

"That’s very true. In fact, one’s identity doesn’t matter much. Not everyone within the forces of the Main God is evil. You, the elite group leader of the National Security Bureau, didn’t you also collaborate with me, a former Netherworld King?"

"Let’s focus on business." Tianjing sat across from Ye Shikai, lighting a cigarette, "Let’s discuss matters related to the case."

"Tomorrow, we’ll go to the forensic office at the security department. Huo Hua’s autopsy report is about to come out. Also, after Zhang Ting returned to Yanjing, she took statements from those missing beggars. Since Huo Hua kidnapped them, some of them might know where the others went. I think it might help with the case."

"Mr. Ye, have you thought about why they wanted to kidnap these beggars?" Tianjing suddenly asked.

"Well, I still don’t know, but it’s obvious they didn’t do it for money or labor, and they specifically chose beggars to cover their tracks."

"Remember the Mothman case?" Tianjing suddenly mentioned, and Ye Shikai furrowed his brows. Initially, he almost lost his life solving the Mothman case. The case was eventually cracked due to the collaboration of multiple forces, such as the Netherworld Palace, Dragon Teeth, the police, and the National Security Bureau. Because the case was too intricate, it wasn’t publicized, with parts of the confidential documents kept in the National Security Bureau.

"Of course, we almost died in that chemical base. The HST project aimed to turn humans into absolute obedience monsters. Even ordinary people, with just an injection, could become stronger than cultivators. I will never forget it." Ye Shikai slowly stood up, staring at Tianjing.

"Wasn’t the HST project already terminated? Weren’t all the bases in Yanjing dismantled?"
