The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1871: "The Gift

"Everyone, do not panic, do not scream," Chen Ruoya said coldly.

"Yes... yes."

"Yes."

"All of you step back and keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to speak out, watch how I deal with you." Chen Ruoya ordered.

"Yes."

The servants quickly retreated. They certainly didn’t dare to speak out, but couldn’t help showing frightened expressions. Chen Ruoya ordered two of the Chen family’s trusted aides to take the box to the back garden, avoiding the main hall as much as possible and using the side path to get to the garden.

"Family Head, this is not good." Chen Ruoya hurried to Chen Yuxin’s side. The guests present had not noticed any anomalies. If they truly knew this news, the Chen family’s prestige in Yanjing would surely suffer after the full moon banquet.

"What happened?"

"A bomb was just found in one of the gifts," Chen Ruoya whispered in her ear. Chen Yuxin’s brow twitched at the news, and the tremor of her palm revealed her inner state. This was indeed a major event.

"Xin, what happened?" At this moment, Ye Shikai also came over. Chen Yuxin, who was jubilant earlier, now had a changed expression.

"Ruoya just discovered that one of the gifts contained a bomb," Chen Yuxin explained.

"What, how could this happen?" Ye Shikai frowned deeply. Who could be so malicious? Today was his son’s full moon banquet, and someone sent such a ’gift’ here.

"I don’t know, but I’ve already had the bomb taken to the back garden. Otherwise, if the guests saw it, we would be in trouble."

"I’ll go take a look." Ye Shikai quickly headed to the back garden, with Chen Yuxin following closely.

"Kai, be careful," Chen Yuxin reminded.

"Don’t worry," Ye Shikai stepped forward. The bomb was placed in a box, with more than an hour remaining. Ye Shikai carefully inspected it; the explosives below were of a highly explosive nature, just like those he used to blow up the HST factory basement years ago. Small as it was, it could blast the entire Chen family to the skies.

If Ye Shikai remembered correctly, there was a barrier around the Chen family, said to be set by the family’s elder. It could block many cultivators’ attacks, including the bomb’s power. So, if someone wanted to sabotage, they must have disguised it as a gift and brought it in. This was understandable, as there were no fewer than a thousand guests today, with countless gifts, and it was normal for the servants to overlook.

"Ruoya, immediately open all the gifts and check if there are any other bombs," Chen Yuxin ordered.

"Yes, I’ll take people to do it right away."

"Kai, what about this one?" Chen Yuxin asked.

"I have a way." Ye Shikai placed the bomb into a Storage Ring. The ring contained a closed space. Honestly, Ye Shikai didn’t know what would happen if the bomb exploded inside the storage, but perhaps nothing would happen...

"I’ll head to the river now." Ye Shikai quickly got into the car and drove straight to the nearest river. There was a large river nearby, with no residents around.

Half an hour later.

Ye Shikai quickly walked to the riverbank, took the timed bomb out again from the Storage Ring, and with a strong throw, he hurled it towards the middle of the river. At the same time, he pulled out a handgun, firing at the timed bomb just as it hit the water, the bullet striking the explosives.

Boom.

A loud noise, as the calm water surface erupted with a splash. The sound was loud, but luckily no one lived nearby, so no one noticed any of this.

Ye Shikai drove back to the Chen family, just in time to see the Netherworld Palace members guarding the entrance.

"Boss, I heard there was an explosive among the gifts, is that true?" Soul Destroyer stepped forward and asked.

"Don’t worry, it’s been dealt with. I detonated the bomb in the river."

"Which bastard dared to mess around here?" Wang Kai said angrily.

"We don’t know yet, but I will definitely investigate it." Today is Ye Yi’s full moon banquet, and as a father, Ye Shikai couldn’t allow anyone to harm his son in this way. So he would investigate this matter at all costs, and of course, the anxious Chen Yuxin would certainly do the same.

Main hall.

"Family Head, son-in-law, this subordinate has checked all the gifts thoroughly and found no other bombs," Chen Ruoya reported.

"Very good, Ruoya. Later, if we receive any more gifts, with or without bombs, send them to a remote place, as far from here as possible," Chen Yuxin ordered.

"Yes, Family Head. We will ensure this place’s safety."

"Xin, don’t get too worked up. There are so many guests here, you can’t let them know about this incident," Ye Shikai reminded.

"Don’t worry, Kai, I’m fine. After the full moon banquet, I’ll investigate thoroughly," Chen Yuxin said coldly. Ye Shikai noticed that all the Chen family guards had come up and were standing in all corners, watching movements around. Chen Yuxin and Ye Yi both had Chen family’s trusted aides and elder guards around them, so no opportunity would be given to approach them.

"Sir, there might be other dangers here. I’ll take them to do a patrol," Nightmare said softly.

"No need, just stay in the main hall. It doesn’t matter how other places get blown up; only this place must be safe," Ye Shikai instructed.

"Alright, we’ll stay here then."

.................................

Everyone remained vigilant until the banquet ended and all the guests had left. Only then did Ye Shikai breathe a sigh of relief. His and Chen Yuxin’s master bedroom and Ye Yi’s room were absolutely safe. Deep into the night, Ye Shikai tossed and turned, and Chen Yuxin was the same. Today’s bomb scare turned out to be a false alarm, but neither of them, both people of status, had ever faced such a threat before. More crucially, the threat extended to little Ye Yi.

"I will definitely find out who the mastermind is behind today’s incident," Chen Yuxin said firmly.

"I think so too. Nightmare has already sent people to investigate."

"I also had Feng Ling and Ruoya send people for investigation. I believe results will come soon." Of course, Chen Ruoya had also dispatched manpower. Both of them had their respective forces, domestically and abroad. With dual efforts, Ye Shikai couldn’t believe that the mastermind could remain untraceable.

"Kai, do you think the mastermind might be among today’s guests?" Chen Yuxin suddenly asked.

"It’s not out of the question, but I think it’s unlikely. I’ve checked the guest list; they’re all closely related to either you or me, with no reason to act against us."
