The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1846: An Unexpected Encounter
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
Upon learning that Su Qingyu was going to Hong Kong, Chen Yuxin didn’t show much excitement, at least not on the surface. No one knew what she really thought.
"She isn’t staying at Tianya Group; what’s she going to Hong Kong for? Could she be going for a vacation?" Chen Yuxin said indifferently.
"I heard it’s because of Wu Group’s matter," Feng Ling continued, "Mr. Wu, the second young master of the Wu Family, wants to exchange the contract in Yanjing for the family head’s cultivation resources, and part of this is the previous Tianya Group contract. Wu Yu suddenly interrupted Su Qingyu’s cooperation, so..."
"I see." Chen Yuxin nodded slightly. She had already agreed to Wu Yu’s request, and the loss that Tianya Group would suffer hadn’t crossed her mind. However, she didn’t mind, as Tianya Group was not a major corporation, and the Su Family wasn’t a cultivation family. Wu Yu was not someone who would experience small losses for big gains; cooperating with Su Qingyu might bring profit, but for Wu Group, it was expendable. For Tianya Group, it was a considerable loss.
"This time, Miss Su is probably going to Hong Kong to find Wu Yu."
"It won’t help even if she goes. Wu Yu is a smart person; cooperation with Tianya Group only brings billions in revenue, but choosing us allows the Wu Family to obtain many cultivation resources, which is what the Wu Family needs most." In the recent Kunlun Mountain venture, the Chen Family was the biggest winner, obtaining countless cultivation resources with minimal personnel loss.
"Family Head, but the son-in-law is still in Hong Kong. If he finds out Miss Su went to Hong Kong, will he..."
"Shut up." Chen Yuxin coldly rebuked.
"Alright, you and Xue Ming immediately take people back to Hong Kong, and provide personal protection for the son-in-law."
"Yes, at your command."
"Ruoya."
"Family Head, what are your instructions?"
"Prepare yourself; I’m going to Hong Kong in person," Chen Yuxin softly stated.
"Family Head, but you’re pregnant now; you should stay home and take care of your pregnancy, not travel far," Chen Ruoya advised.
"Enough, no need to persuade me; I have my own plans. Just go ahead with it."
"Alright then."
Hong Kong.
"At present, we can’t say these kidnapping cases are definitely related to the HST project, but the suspicion is high. We can start from here and might gain other insights," Tianjing said casually, holding the data in hand. Jing Xie, Fenghuang, and Shen Wu had already taken people out to search. As for why Huo Hua brought these people to Hong Kong, it suggests their base might be here. If true, we can conduct a thorough search, but since Huo Hua is dead, the organization behind must act, perhaps relocating the base from Hong Kong."
"If they relocate the base, we’ll be passive. All clues will be cut off, and we’ll have to start afresh."
"Don’t worry; I’ve stationed people at the docks and the exit to Li city. Since it’s a base, there must be lots of equipment. If they leave rashly, they will surely be spotted by our people," Tianjing explained. Especially at the harbor—Hong Kong’s shipping industry is prosperous and the port is large—Tianjing deliberately sent many National Security Bureau members to monitor.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this time, a knock came from the door, and Fenghuang and Shen Wu returned empty-handed.
"The Hong Kong Security Office cooperated fully, sending people to assist us in patrols, but we couldn’t find a single clue," Shen Wu complained.
"That’s normal; if they were that easy to find, we wouldn’t need the National Security Bureau to intervene. They wouldn’t evade the search by Hong Kong’s Security Office," Tianjing had anticipated this, as the National Security Bureau database has plenty of information, but regarding the organizational details of the HST project, the information is sparse.
"Seems like I need to visit the Wu Family," Ye Shikai sighed deeply; in Hong Kong, perhaps the Wu Family could offer more help. Ye Shikai had heard rumors that the prominent and minor businesses throughout Hong Kong were interconnected with the Wu family, somewhat exaggerated, yet illustrating the extensive reach of the Wu family’s business. In other words, regardless of the domain, Wu Yu has a say. If the saying goes, ’a foreign dragon can’t suppress a local tyrant,’ then the Wu family is the ’dragon’ and ’local tyrant’ merged.
Previously, Ho Hua was investigated thanks to materials provided by Wu Yu and Yizai; likely this time, Wu Yu’s assistance is needed again.
Ye Shikai had Tianjing and his team remain at the hotel, while he personally headed for the Wu family. With Tianjing from the National Security Bureau, their presence at the Wu family would likely be uncomfortable for both sides.
Outside the Wu family home.
"Mr. Ye, it’s you." Yizai guarded the entrance and, upon seeing Ye Shikai arrive, promptly came to greet him.
"I’m here to see Mr. Wu; can you lead the way?"
"Certainly, please follow me." Yizai led Ye Shikai into the Wu Mansion, yet did not see Wu Yu.
"Mr. Ye, my young master is in a meeting room discussing with others and will take some time. Please remain patient and wait in the hall," Yizai explained.
"Alright, no problem, given the sudden situation, I didn’t notify Mr. Wu before coming; waiting is expected," Ye Shikai had no issue, seating himself in the hall, where Wu family’s servants offered snacks and afternoon tea—he was somewhat hungry.
After about half an hour, the meeting room’s door slowly opened, and Wu Yu emerged. Ye Shikai just intended to approach him when he saw a "familiar face" walk out from inside.
"Qingyu, why are you here?" Ye Shikai exclaimed in surprise.
"You... how come you are here too?" Su Qingyu was equally shocked; she had come to Hong Kong to negotiate with Wu Yu, but wondered why Ye Shikai was here.
"Mr. Ye, sorry to keep you waiting,"
"No apology needed, Mr. Wu, but why did Qingyu come to see you?" Ye Shikai inquired.
"Miss Su is here to discuss business with me," Wu Yu explained, then turned to Su Qingyu, "Miss Su, regarding your proposal just now, I have now agreed. Rest assured."
"Really? That’s wonderful."
"Yizai, please escort Miss Su."
"Yes, young master."
Ye Shikai hesitated slightly; on one side, he was here to meet Wu Yu, and on the other, he wished to talk to Su Qingyu.
"Wait a moment," Ye Shikai suddenly interjected, stopping Su Qingyu who was about to leave.
"Cough, cough, I have some matters to discuss with you; could you wait for me outside for a bit?"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the Wu family’s entrance," Su Qingyu nodded slightly.
"Okay, I’ll come out and find you shortly."
