The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1854: Investigating the Truth

"What’s in the car?" The security guard at the factory gate stopped the vehicle and asked the driver.

"All chemical agents ordered by the factory, the smell is pungent." The driver replied impatiently. Even sitting at the front, the driver wore a mask; otherwise, he would be overwhelmed by the pungent smell from the chemicals in the back. After speaking, the driver handed the delivery note to the guard.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take it inside, place everything properly, and stay safe." The guard didn’t bother to check further and let it through after a glance.

Ye Shikai followed the vehicle into the factory. It seemed they were producing some chemical products inside, but Ye Shikai couldn’t understand; the names of those chemical materials were foreign to him, and he had no idea what they were for. He only saw many people in hazmat suits walking around.

But from another perspective, if this place was indeed a base for the HST project, then it should have a lot of chemical products.

"Quick, get two people to move everything from the car."

"Okay."

Ye Shikai quickly jumped off the car. Wearing the Netherworld King’s Helmet, no one could see him. As he walked into the factory, he noticed several security personnel wielding batons and a number of iron doors that required fingerprint verification to pass through. This made Ye Shikai suspicious; what kind of factory could be so secretive with such high "security levels?"

The saying "this place has no silver buried" indicates the more one tries to cover up, the more it shows there’s a secret within. Ye Shikai had already guessed that this factory was far from simple.

Ye Shikai was equipped with a tiny camera, capturing everything inside entirely. This place seemed to store chemical agents, serving as a perfect "cover," but the real secrets lay inside the factory. Though he was invisible now, he still needed to wait for an opportunity to pass through those fingerprint-verification doors.

After waiting uncertainly for a long time, finally, someone approached, verified their fingerprint, and entered under the watchful eyes of four security guards. Ye Shikai stuck close behind them and rushed in the moment the door opened.

"How’s the progress?" asked a man inside to someone beside him.

"Subject number 25 is dead, and subjects 35 and 37 are showing rejection symptoms."

"What? Do you know how much attention is being paid to these experiments by those above? With progress so slow, how can I explain this?"

"Even so, these agents are being tested for the first time. It’s normal to have test subject fatalities. We must first try on white mice after modifications."

This is truly insane. Ye Shikai gritted his teeth, wishing he could blow up this factory right away...

Right, if the factory were blown up, everything would be over and done with. This crazy thought flashed through Ye Shikai’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it. This area was a residential zone, and if there were an explosion, who knows how many people would be affected. The factory was also stacked with so many chemical goods that if there were an explosion, it wouldn’t just be a mere fire; toxins might leak out, causing unimaginable consequences.

With the project progress delayed, it bought them some time. Ye Shikai would report to Tianjing once he got out, urging them to quickly send personnel to seal off this "hell on earth."

However, Ye Shikai had no plans to leave just yet. This was the research lab, the outermost layer of this "hell on earth." Going deeper felt like descending into the lower parts of hell. Ye Shikai also worried about escape routes like tunnels inside; if they existed, then even if personnel were sent to seal the place, those inside could transport all equipment and data out through tunnels.

The deeper he went, the tighter the security became. Not only fingerprints but also facial recognition was required. Naturally, the deeper he went, the more confidential it became, accessible only to certain individuals. But this didn’t hinder Ye Shikai much, as being invisible was like having a "cheat," allowing him to follow closely behind the person in front. Of course, matching one’s steps would be best.

Ye Shikai had two places he wanted to go. The first was their laboratory, where they performed experiments on "test subjects," likely a "hell on earth." Only by going there could he understand, and the second place was where they stored their agents—the location of the HST project’s "results." If he could acquire the agents and take them out, maybe antidotes could be concocted, causing the HST project to go completely "bankrupt."

Ye Shikai treaded lightly. No one around could see him, and following this path straight to the end, he reached their agent storage area. There were even signboards here, providing directions for him.

"Something’s off," murmured Ye Shikai. The long corridor surprisingly lacked defenses. He looked up carefully, spotting infrared machines installed above the walls. Just as expected, Ye Shikai put on a pair of glasses, revealing the densely packed infrared protection in his view like a spider web. Keen observation was necessary to discern a "passage" through.

Suddenly, the infrared began to move, startling Ye Shikai. They were indeed moving. If the infrared shifted while he was passing through, he’d be in big trouble.

Thud, thud, thud.

At that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed behind him. Ye Shikai pressed himself against the wall nervously, seeing two workers swipe a key card and the infrared gradually disappear.

Ye Shikai sighed with relief inside. If he had gone through alone, it would have been a massive ordeal. But now, it was accomplished effortlessly.

"Quickly get the agents out; a comparison experiment needs to be conducted immediately. Those above are waiting for the results."
