The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1901: The True Cause of Death

Will the next person be him?

Ye Shikai fell into deep thought. If it really was him, what methods would the killer use, and could he defend against them? These were all problems. Tianjing’s death was too sudden; he started to worry. The mastermind behind the HST project might be even more insidious and mad than he imagined. Chen Yuxin’s words made sense; they dared to target Tianjing, what else wouldn’t they dare to do...

"Kai, did you hear what I said." Chen Yuxin said softly.

"I heard you, don’t worry, I won’t be in danger. The Hidden Guard is by my side, what are you worried about?" Ye Shikai reassured.

"Tianjing was even a team leader at the National Security Bureau, they dared to make a move against him, what wouldn’t they dare to do? Moreover, you said the other side is developing mutants, turning people into half-human, half-beast creatures. If they dare to do such lunatic things, what else wouldn’t they dare to do? You should stop investigating further; with so many people protecting us here at the Chen family, our safety is definitely not an issue." Chen Yuxin continued to persuade.

"I already looked into it; it seems Tianjing received some message last night and drove alone to the Dark Night Bar, giving the killers the opportunity to act." Ye Shikai explained.

"Kai, Tianjing’s death is a warning signal. You must stop investigating, I’ll talk to Jin Li about this, you cannot investigate further."

"Enough." Ye Shikai suddenly shouted. He initially thought they would argue, but he suddenly deflated. At this moment, he had no mood or energy to argue with Chen Yuxin. Investigating the HST project had already exhausted him mentally, and now with Tianjing brutally killed, the pressure crushed him. Ye Shikai took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

"I don’t want to argue, rest assured, I will be responsible for you and the child. However, it seems I’m already in too deep to back out; even if I don’t investigate, they will not let me go."

"They won’t, Kai. If you stop investigating, they won’t trouble you. Tianjing must have obtained some information, crucial enough to endanger them, that’s why they killed to silence him. Kai, as long as you stop investigating and don’t get any information, they won’t trouble you."

"Xin, that’s just avoidance." Ye Shikai said with a bitter smile.

"It’s not avoidance. The world has so many injustices; is it avoidance if you choose not to consider them?"

"Alright, don’t worry. I will take care of myself." Ye Shikai reassured, calming Chen Yuxin for now, although she continued persuading him to give up the investigation.

The consequences of the HST project are unimaginable, potentially threatening the safety of all Huaxia, even the whole world. It’s not something ordinary people can handle; cultivators are the last line of defense.

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

The next day.

Ye Shikai visited the National Security Bureau again. Tianjing being murdered was both accidental and inevitable; the killer expected him to act alone. As the saying goes, even the fierce tiger cannot fend off the pack of wolves, especially when the wolves are already lying in ambush, attacking suddenly. It’s hard for even the strongest cultivator to escape unscathed. This is a lesson learned, so now Ye Shikai travels with Hidden Guard accompanying him, with a car in front and behind, each containing Hidden Guard. Chen Yuxin worries about his safety, and additionally sends members of the Shadow Organization as guards.

"All of you wait outside, don’t break in." Ye Shikai commanded. The National Security Bureau is different from other places; he carries a "special pass," so Hidden Guard can only follow to the entrance.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Jing Xie, how is the investigation going, and what about Tianjing’s autopsy report?" Ye Shikai asked excitedly, estimating that the autopsy report should be ready.

"Mr. Ye, you won’t believe it; you better look at it yourself." Jing Xie handed the report to Ye Shikai, and the answers shocked him.

"What, is it a poisonous insect?" Ye Shikai asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Ye Shikai looked at the autopsy report; Tianjing was affected by a type of Worm. This Worm is extremely small and can travel through the body’s blood flow to the heart, the body’s "engine," and one of the critical areas. The Worm penetrates the heart, causing death, able to reach the heart undetected by the human body, striking fatally. It’s such a terrifying Worm, and Ye Shikai flipped through the report, which contains a detailed description of this Worm.

Commonly known as, Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect.

"Wait, when did forensic autopsy start detecting Worms?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked, flipping the report to the last page where he saw the forensic examiner’s signature.

"What, I’m the one who examined it, is there a problem?" A cool voice came from behind, making Ye Shikai shudder and turn around abruptly.

"Wuyan, why is it you?" Ye Shikai was completely stunned to find Wuyan had come to Yanjing, even more surprised that she conducted Tianjing’s autopsy.

"Of course, Jin Li invited me. He questioned the cause of Tianjing’s death, so he asked me to come." Wuyan explained.

"Yes, I asked Sect Leader Wu to come." Jin Li entered as well. Ye Shikai thought the Worm Sect was only involved in trading herbs and Worms, without interacting externally, but unexpectedly, Wuyan and Jin Li have known each other for a long time. Despite Wuyan being only nineteen, she was already the ’appointed’ Sect Leader of the Worm Sect a few years ago.

"Mr. Ye, there are many things you don’t know. In fact, various clans and factions in Huaxia are intertwined with the National Security Bureau." Jin Li said casually.

"Cough cough, let’s focus on the main topic, Wuyan, are you sure Tianjing really died from the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect?"

"Certainly, do you doubt my research on Worms? If I hadn’t arrived a few hours late, I could even have extracted a living Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect from Tianjing’s heart." Wuyan said firmly.

"Who exactly would apply such a vicious Worm to a team leader?" Jing Xie asked further.

"Yes, Wuyan, does the Worm Sect have this Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, or do you know if anyone else might have it?"

"The Worm Sect indeed possesses it, but such Worms are strictly guarded; they cannot be taken out. As for others in Huaxia who might have the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, I cannot be certain." Wuyan shook her head.

"The killer applied the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect to Tianjing beforehand, rendering him unable to resist. After it activated and caused death, they pierced his heart with a weapon to create the illusion he died from a stab wound. If I hadn’t personally come, the killer would have succeeded."
