The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1872: Intelligence Delivered by Tianjing

Ye Shikai thought carefully, the guests coming today were all on the list, and this list was confirmed by him and Chen Yuxin. Some were leaders of organizations friendly with the Netherworld Palace, while the majority were influential Huaxia families friendly with either the Chen family or Ye Shikai, such as the Ji Family in Yanjing, the Li Family in Chang’an, and the Zheng Family in the East Sea...

Ye Shikai couldn’t think of any guest who would have the motive to target them. So, this bomb must have been sent by someone with a personal grudge against him. Having wandered the world for years, Ye Shikai has formed alliances but also enmities, some with his defeated opponents and others naturally envy him, wishing to stab him in the back.

"If someone genuinely wants to secretly target us, it’s truly hard to prevent," Ye Shikai murmured. Today they could send a bomb, tomorrow they might poison, the day after they could send assassins to kill...

"I’ve already ordered the Chen family’s trusted aides to closely protect Ye Yi. His room is under surveillance too, and I’ve instructed that from now on, everyone entering or leaving the Chen family must undergo strict checks," Chen Yuxin was more sensitive to the situation. If anyone threatened Ye Shikai or Ye Yi’s safety, she would undoubtedly take action.

"Hmm, with this arrangement, there should be no problems." Today’s bomb incident was a close call. If it weren’t for the servant accidentally slipping and dropping the gift box, revealing the bomb inside, things could have been disastrous. The bomb had been delivered to the living room; if it exploded, the thousand people inside might be in danger, creating chaos among Huaxia’s elite families and bringing calamity to the Chen family.

The next day.

"How’s it going, any results from the investigation?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Boss, I’ve hacked into the nearby surveillance system and thoroughly examined it. Finally, I’ve found the person who delivered the ’gift’," Worm moved the computer screen in front of Ye Shikai. On the screen, a man in a suit placed a congratulatory gift on the table and turned to leave. Many people were entering at that time, and he blended into the crowd. The guards at the door didn’t notice, and once the man placed the gift, he simply left. No one paid attention to him.

Ye Shikai’s expression was grave. This man might just be an insignificant ’deliveryman,’ merely responsible for bringing the item. Whether to capture him or not might be meaningless.

"Boss, what should we do next? If we can’t find the mastermind, they’ll surely act again,"

"I have my arrangements. You all continue to investigate," Ye Shikai said calmly.

"Alright, but Boss, you also need to be more careful. They managed to place explosives in the Chen family, so they are extraordinary,"

"I’m aware of that."

A clue-less investigation is like finding a needle in a haystack. But as it’s Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin’s orders, members of the Netherworld Palace and those under the Chen family could not stop. They kept gathering clues tirelessly, and months passed in the blink of an eye. The Chen family’s security measures remained strict, and no similar incidents occurred again.

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

Ye Yi grew quickly and healthily. As a child of cultivators, he had Inner Strength in his body, immune to common viruses. Chen Yuxin didn’t visit the group much but stayed beside Ye Yi, carefully taking care, never daring to slack off. As for Ye Shikai, he barely left the house.

Today, a guest came to the Chen family—a rather unexpected one.

"Mr. Tianjing." Chen Yuxin went to greet him. She didn’t say welcome, which was enough to show her attitude towards Tianjing. As the leader of the Divine Weapon Special Group of the National Security Bureau, his visit to the Chen family represented the bureau, and obviously, visits from the bureau generally weren’t good...

From a personal perspective, Ye Shikai had risked his life multiple times to help the National Security Bureau. For instance, the last time going to Hong Kong to confront mutants was initially the bureau’s responsibility, yet Ye Shikai was dragged into it, so naturally, Chen Yuxin’s attitude towards Tianjing was cold.

"Miss Chen, Mr. Ye."

"Please sit down." Chen Yuxin invited Tianjing to sit in the living room.

"Mr. Tianjing, do you have anything to discuss today? If not, I’m busy, so forgive my lack of hospitality," Chen Yuxin said coldly, with "disgust" written on her face. Yet Tianjing wasn’t a petty person; he just smiled off her attitude.

"Xin," Ye Shikai reminded, indicating Chen Yuxin to be mindful of her demeanor.

"Tianjing, what brings you here? Is it about the HST project?"

"Not at all. I’m here for another matter, possibly providing you with an answer," Tianjing’s words piqued their interest, finally softening Chen Yuxin’s impatience.

"On the day of Ye Yi’s full moon banquet, did you receive a congratulatory gift that turned out to be a bomb capable of destroying the entire estate?"

"That’s right, indeed," Ye Shikai didn’t deny it. The bomb gift matter was kept secret by him and Chen Yuxin; even many servants in the Chen household were unaware. The few who knew were under a gag order, leaving only Chen Ruoya, Feng Ling, and a few confidants of Chen Yuxin aside from the members of the Netherworld Palace.

Ye Shikai didn’t know how Tianjing learned about this, but since he came, it must be related to this matter.

"I’ve already discovered who the culprits are."

"What?"

"What?"

Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin exclaimed in unison. The news was absolutely shocking to them, given they had been busy investigating for months using their respective resources without a clue, yet Tianjing already knew the mastermind.

"Who did it?" Chen Yuxin asked excitedly.

"South America, Sea King Palace, Doris."

"How could it be her?" Ye Shikai murmured, surprised that the bomb came from Doris. Although he and Doris were bitter rivals, she had motives to act, but he didn’t expect the Sea King Palace members would dare make a move in Yanjing.

"We’ve investigated thoroughly. The man who delivered the bomb wasn’t from the Sea King Palace, but his account had a significant overseas transaction. Tracing the money led us to discover it was the Sea King Palace who hired him for a high price," Tianjing explained.

"I understand." Ye Shikai realized it must have been a "hired murder," and now the truth was revealed. It was indeed Doris who was behind it.
