The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1920: Assault on the Research Facility

This operation is not that simple, Ye Shikai is well aware of this. Before the operation began, there was already discord among the people, which was unheard of in the past. Moreover, the opponent’s strength is unknown, and he’s unsure of what might happen tonight. He hopes everything will go smoothly.

"Be on guard. George might already be aware of our action. Before we act tonight, I don’t want anything to happen," Ye Shikai ordered.

"Yes, sir."

As the sun set, the night finally descended. A spotlight was cast from above the research facility. This was no ordinary research facility; it was practically a fortress.

"Sir, it’s time."

"Alright, everyone get ready for action." Ye Shikai issued the command, and thousands of people surrounded the research facility from four directions. The facility was surrounded by massive walls of reinforced concrete, impossible to blast open with cannon fire. Armed security guards were stationed around the area, making infiltration impossible, leaving no choice but to charge in.

"How’s it going? They’re still silent, aren’t they?"

"Yes, the security hasn’t been reinforced. They probably haven’t discovered us," Nightmare replied.

"If they haven’t noticed, does that mean George wasn’t the one poisoning Wang Kai, or is this a trap?" Ye Shikai murmured.

"Sir, we are already committed; retreating now is not possible," Nightmare was correct. They were caught in a dilemma, with so many people gathered here. If they were to retreat now, they would surely expose themselves. The only option is to move forward, no matter the risk.

"Alright, everyone, follow orders and proceed as planned."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Nightmare personally led a team of Hidden Guards, slowly approaching the gate. Once they were within a certain distance, the Hidden Guards suddenly appeared, each holding a submachine gun.

"Who are you?" The guards at the gate immediately spotted them, but before they could react, bullets were already flying towards them...

"Attack!" Nightmare commanded, and the Dark Guards rushed forward. With silencers attached to their guns, the dozen or so guards at the gate were eliminated. One guard tried to close the gate before dying, but Nightmare preempted him, killing him with a swift strike, securing control of the gate.

"There are intruders at the gate. Sound the alarm!" The spotlight above also detected the commotion at the gate. Instantly, piercing sirens blared throughout the base. Ye Shikai wasn’t worried about local police arriving; the alarm was only to notify those inside the facility. After all... the things inside the facility were likely even worse for exposure...

Beep beep beep.

The research facility was filled with sharp alarm sounds, and the guards inside quickly responded.

"Open fire."

Bang, bang, bang.

Heavy machine guns set above began sweeping fire from a high vantage point. Some Dark Guards were hit. Ye Shikai quickly ordered the rest to charge forward. Among the Netherworld Palace people were members of mercenary organizations carrying heavy weapons. Soon both sides were engaged in fierce combat. It was practically a war.

"Mr. Ye, should we enter?" Jin Li asked.

"The external defenses are military-grade, including heavy machine guns and rocket launchers. These are heavy artillery. You are cultivators, not soldiers. This isn’t your battlefield. Let my people from Netherworld Palace handle this. Your opponents are the cultivators and mutants inside," Ye Shikai instructed the members from the National Security Bureau and the Chen family to stay back until the mercenaries from his Netherworld Palace broke through the facility’s defenses.

"Alright then."

"Take out their heavy machine guns."

A dozen mercenaries took out two rocket launchers, aiming them at the machine guns above.

Boom, boom.

Two rockets launched simultaneously, blasting the machine gun towers into fragments.

The Chen family and National Security Bureau had only operated in Yanjing, never witnessing such a formidable scene. This was war, but Ye Shikai had lived in such circumstances for three years, so it was just another day for him.

Members of Netherworld Palace had surrounded the research facility from all directions, everyone carrying guns, rushing inside.

"Open fire!"

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang.

The gunfire inside didn’t cease. Both sides were locked in fierce combat. Ye Shikai checked his watch; it had been twenty minutes, yet they hadn’t breached the interior buildings.

"No, this is too slow. Hidden Guards with me, advance." Ye Shikai grabbed a submachine gun, leading a team of Hidden Guards to reinforce Nightmare.

Ten minutes later.

"Everyone cease movements!" Nightmare opened the entrance to the building. The guards inside were already prepared. As soon as the door opened, the guards concentrated their fire, rifles, and machine guns unleashing bullets furiously. Immediately, several Hidden Guards were hit and fell.

"Everyone retreat," Nightmare commanded.

"What’s the status now?" At that moment, Ye Shikai arrived with Hidden Guards for reinforcements.

"The gate is under heavy fire. We can’t get in."

"Use smoke."

"Yes."

Nightmare and the nearby Hidden Guards tossed two smoke grenades inside, and the gunfire gradually subsided.

"Put on thermal imaging goggles. Once inside, eliminate them swiftly," Ye Shikai ordered.

"Yes."

"Charge."

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

"Finally dealt with all the guards." Ye Shikai sighed. Unexpectedly, capturing this research facility was so exhausting, and so many comrades died.

"Go inform Director Jin, they can come in now."

"Alright."

Netherworld Palace members finally breached the facility’s interior; numerous staff were controlled by the Hidden Guards.

"What’s the situation inside?" Jin Li frowned as he looked at the corpses everywhere, walls riddled with bullet holes, but more importantly, the mutants within.

"Speak, where is George?" Ye Shikai grabbed a person’s collar, loudly questioning.

"He’s inside."

"Are you researching mutants?" Jin Li asked, "Where is the laboratory?"

"Speak."

"Inside... inside."

"So it’s true. Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, Demoness, you three lead a group. Director Jin, you and Jing Xie lead another group, spread out to search. Be quick, or George might escape," Ye Shikai directed, and everyone agreed.

"I’m personally leading a team of Hidden Guards inside."

"Wait." At this moment, Chen Yuxin hurried over, stopping Ye Shikai with one hand.

"Xin, now is not the time for jokes. Every minute we delay, George might escape," Ye Shikai said with a serious tone and a heavy expression.

"I’ve said it before; I’m here for you this time. Since you’re going, I’ll go with you."
