The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1847: Weakness

"Mr. Ye, is there something you need from me?" Wu Yu asked in return.

"It’s about the investigation."

"Investigation? Haven’t you already caught Huo Hua and found the missing person?" Wu Yu asked curiously, signaling the surrounding bodyguards and attendants to leave.

"The situation is different. This time we need to find another group, or you could say the organization behind Huo Hua. The National Security Bureau has also come to investigate, but with little effect. We would probably need your help, Mr. Wu," Ye Shikai explained.

"If that’s the case, you can let Yizai help you. Mr. Ye, if you need anything, just ask. Since the National Security Bureau is also involved, it shows that this group is special. If you have any confusion, I can assist," Wu Yu readily agreed. His collaboration with Chen Yuxin still required Ye Shikai’s support, so naturally, he was eager to please Ye Shikai now.

"By the way, Miss Chen has already agreed to cooperate with me. The tens of billions worth of contracts in Yanjing over the year have been entirely handed over to Miss Chen, and she has sent over cultivation resources as well, all thanks to Mr. Ye’s help," Wu Yu said with a light smile. Ye Shikai looked somewhat awkward; he had never spoken favorably of the Wu Family to Chen Yuxin. He had never gotten involved in their collaboration, so it must have been Chen Yuxin herself who agreed.

"It’s nothing, just small matters." Ye Shikai waved his hand awkwardly.

"By the way, what did Qingyu come to discuss with you?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Oh, just some business matters. Mr. Ye should also know that there has always been some cooperation between the Wu Group and the Tianya Group," Wu Yu seemed a bit guilty, but he managed to explain it.

"I see."

"Mr. Ye, you and Miss Su... should have some old connections, right?"

"Of course."

"Although the Tianya Group is not large, Miss Su is quite capable. I pride myself on having some business talent, but compared to Miss Su, I’m still overshadowed," Wu Yu suddenly said. It was unclear whether he was sincerely moved or intentionally flattering. Nonetheless, Su Qingyu indeed had exceptional business talent.

"Mr. Wu, you are truly outstanding. I heard that after I left Hong Kong last time, you aggressively reclaimed most of the group’s shares and, after taking control, implemented sweeping ’reforms’ within the group, keeping the Wu Family at the top among the three major families in Hong Kong," Ye Shikai replied.

"Speaking of that, it’s all thanks to Mr. Ye and the members of the Netherworld Palace. Otherwise, not to mention taking control, I wouldn’t even have had a place in the Wu Family," Wu Yu said.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Shikai ended his conversation with Wu Yu. He had agreed to fully assist, and even allowed Yizai to accompany Ye Shikai. Su Qingyu was still waiting outside, so he dared not delay too long.

The Wu Family, at the entrance.

"Qingyu, sorry to keep you waiting," Ye Shikai apologized.

"It’s alright. I was just finishing up my tasks, so there was no rush," Su Qingyu said lightly.

"Ahem, the sun is strong outside. Let’s talk inside the car," Ye Shikai suggested.

"I should be thanking you this time," Su Qingyu suddenly said as they got into the car.

"Why is that? How did I help you?" Ye Shikai was a bit puzzled. Their meeting today was an ’accident,’ so why was Su Qingyu thanking him?

"You might not realize it, but I do. While Mr. Wu and I were discussing in the conference room, he kept politely declining. I thought the cooperation was hopeless, but as soon as we left the room and he saw you, he immediately agreed. Don’t you understand why?"

"Mm." Ye Shikai was no fool. Su Qingyu had said it plainly, and he understood that Wu Yu agreed to continue cooperating with Su Qingyu because of his face. If Ye Shikai hadn’t shown up today, Su Qingyu might have left empty-handed.

The reason, naturally, was Wu Yu wanting to please Ye Shikai. Firstly, he is now the son-in-law of the Chen family and Chen Yuxin’s husband. If he could please him, the cooperation between Wu Yu and the Chen family could be stabilized. Secondly, Su Qingyu is also Ye Shikai’s ex-wife, so if Wu Yu coldly refused Su Qingyu, it would be disrespectful to Ye Shikai.

If the cooperation continued, the Tianya Group could profit by hundreds of millions. While this was no small sum, it was merely a drop in the bucket for the Wu Family, regarded as Wu Yu’s expense for pleasing Ye Shikai.

"Actually, I know the Wu Group has cooperated with the Chen family," Su Qingyu suddenly turned the conversation, appearing rather disheartened even though Wu Yu agreed to continue cooperating with Tianya.

"Compared to the Tianya Group, if Mr. Wu could cooperate with the Chen family, he could gain more benefits," Ye Shikai heard the disappointment in Su Qingyu’s voice. It was inevitable. Su Qingyu was so proud, but in the face of profits, she and her group were ’ruthlessly abandoned,’ and the only reason was that she was too weak. Tianya had no competitive power in front of the Chen Group and the Wu Group.

Su Qingyu, though having received the cooperation opportunity, understood well that it was because of Ye Shikai’s involvement. If not for her identity as Ye Shikai’s ex-wife, Wu Yu wouldn’t have shown her face.

"Qingyu, don’t be too upset. I know you want to grow Tianya Group, but it all takes time, doesn’t it?" When they divorced, Ye Shikai had given a large portion of his private assets to Su Qingyu, so she wasn’t short of money. But growing a company wasn’t something simply solved by throwing money at it. The Chen family was a prominent family in Yanjing, with extensive connections and deep power, far beyond what the Tianya Group could match.

"If you want Tianya Group to have a foothold in Yanjing, I will definitely help you," Ye Shikai reassured.

"No need. When you were by my side in the past, you always helped me resolve difficulties, but this time I want to rely on my abilities," Su Qingyu said lightly, choosing to decline Ye Shikai’s assistance. The divorce had already been a blow. If she continued to rely on Ye Shikai, she would never ’move on.’

"Qingyu, I actually don’t know about the cooperation between the Chen family and the Wu family. You know I never meddle in business matters..." Ye Shikai explained. Chen Yuxin and Su Qingyu were love rivals, and now that the Wu family bypassed Tianya to choose to cooperate with the Chen family, it was natural for suspicions to arise. This might have been Chen Yuxin’s deliberate act to retaliate against Su Qingyu.

"You don’t need to say anything more. I understand clearly, you are you and she is she, but the future of the Tianya Group is in my hands. Even if the opponent is the Chen family, I won’t be afraid."
