The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1912: Stronghold Under Attack

"That’s truly a pity." Ye Shikai said indifferently. Yueling obviously didn’t want Ye Shikai to know this man’s identity. The so-called ’trying to cover it up makes it more obvious’; the more secretive one is, the easier it is to slip.

"Mr. Ye, you’re probably not just an ordinary businessman, are you?" Yueling countered, which seemed more like asking a question she already knew the answer to. Both were aware that the other’s identity was not ordinary. How could an actor possibly be a cultivator, and how could a businessman talk about matters related to a case?

It’s impossible for Yueling to easily reveal the truth, Ye Shikai was well aware. It’s next to impossible to get her to talk about the HST project unless they catch her red-handed, but that’s very difficult. Since Yueling chose to use a star’s profession to disguise herself, she must not be afraid of investigations. Besides, the National Security Bureau had just cleared out a few bases in Hong Kong and South America; Yueling would definitely be cautious.

"Cough, cough, actually I have many identities. If Miss Yueling wants to know, I can tell you all in the future." Ye Shikai smiled slyly. "However, I also hope Miss Yueling can be open with me."

"Of course. If Mr. Ye has any matters, you can come to me anytime. But it’s late today, so if there’s nothing else, Mr. Ye can take his leave." Yueling was still quite polite. The verbal ’sparring’ between them was almost at its peak, yet they hadn’t broken face.

Ye Shikai left Yueling’s villa, and during these meetings, he hadn’t gained anything. But he wasn’t discouraged at all. This was expected; he didn’t hope Yueling would easily bend to his will. However, these subtle inquiries gave him more understanding. Although Yueling was connected to the HST project, she was definitely not the mastermind behind it.

Jiangnan City, National Security Bureau base.

"From today’s conversation with Yueling, I noticed that she seems to be very apprehensive about this man, or perhaps guilty. When I mentioned this man, her eyes revealed guilt and rejection. We can investigate from this angle." Ye Shikai suggested.

"We’ve already started investigating, but... the results are somewhat tricky."

"What do you mean?"

"He’s not from Huaxia, just like Yueling, grew up overseas, but he has a face of a Huaxia person." Shen Wu continued. "And he’s not an ordinary person; overseas he has a very large enterprise mainly focused on biotechnology. Besides that, he has many other businesses, very powerful."

"Having a large biotech company, he is very likely the mastermind behind the HST project."

"Yes." Jing Xie echoed, Ye Shikai also had doubts. Yueling was so apprehensive about that man, fearing exposure of his identity, and this man owns a biotech company that matches the HST project perfectly.

"It means this man is very likely the mastermind." Bai Ni analyzed.

"Given the current situation, it’s very likely, otherwise why would that group dare assassinate Tianjing rather than let this photo leak? It’s very likely because this man, the photo captured his real face."

"This matter needs to be immediately reported to Director Jin."

"Understood."

"Additionally, we need to figure out a way to capture him."

"That’s probably not possible; he’s not from Huaxia and... he should have already left Huaxia by now. We can’t take action abroad." With Jing Xie’s words, everyone’s gaze instantly fell on Ye Shikai. The National Security Bureau can’t act abroad, but Netherworld Palace can.

"Uh, I’ll go to the restroom first, you guys chat." Ye Shikai couldn’t bear their stares, hastily found an excuse to leave. He of course wanted to eliminate the HST project, but he didn’t want Netherworld Palace to ’take the spotlight.’ After all, members of Netherworld Palace were his brothers...

Ye Shikai walked out of the meeting room and suddenly heard some noise coming from the corner. This building is a base for the National Security Bureau, so there shouldn’t be idle people coming in.

Ye Shikai immediately became alert. Could it be...

Bam.

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from behind him. Ye Shikai whipped around, and a mutant charged straight towards him. This was a long corridor, Ye Shikai had ample time to react.

Fight.

Ye Shikai took out the Netherworld Blade and swung it down, but the mutant slightly turned its head, and the blade cut into the mutant’s shoulder. Nevertheless, the Netherworld Blade was a Supreme Divine Weapon, incredibly sharp, and with the downward swing, directly severed the mutant’s right hand.

Roar, roar.

The mutant let out a piercing scream, and everyone in the meeting room immediately rushed out.

"What happened here?"

"Be careful, it’s a mutant."

"What, a mutant?" Bai Ni was shocked. This place is a base of the National Security Bureau; how could a mutant attack here? And late at night, where did the guards at the entrance go?

"Everyone, be careful." Ye Shikai reminded, turning to face the mutant. With a reverse blade slash, he killed it. But from the current situation, he didn’t know how many mutants there actually were, possibly more hiding. The sudden appearance of a mutant here surely wasn’t simple. It was meticulously planned; it would absolutely not be just one mutant. The situation inside the building is uncertain, and the guards, whereabouts unknown, but the result likely won’t be good, so vigilance is necessary.

"Jing Xie, Shen Wu, you protect Director Bai and retreat to the basement. Phoenix and the other members follow me." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, and from the corner, two more mutants rushed out. Just as he expected, if mutants arrived, it wouldn’t just be one. The mastermind’s target was everyone present.

Bam, bam.

National Security Bureau members pulled out their pistols, repeatedly pulling the trigger at the mutants, but these mutants’ shells and bodies were like steel, bullets striking them only sparked without leaving marks.

"Aim for their eyes."

Bam, bam.

Ye Shikai stood at the back, covering everyone’s rear. The corridor wasn’t long but had several emergency exits; mutants could suddenly appear from the exit, but they didn’t and only slaughtered their way up from the building entrance’s staircase. Hence, Ye Shikai only needed to protect the rear. There was only one path to the basement, and the basement entrance had a blast-proof door; it should be able to withstand the mutants’ assault.

"Hurry and go, I’m staying to cover the rear." Ye Shikai pulled out the You Xi Blade, standing in the corridor with both sword and blade. The entire building echoed with the mutants’ screams, indistinguishable where they were or were not, and the sudden incident caught everyone unprepared.
