The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1921: Traps and Ambushes

"Since that’s the case, fine. Be careful, it’s really dangerous in there." Ye Shikai warned.

"Relax." Chen Yuxin drew the Chunjun Sword, speaking coldly. She was also a cultivation expert, and with the Chunjun Sword, The Unrivaled Noble Sword, her actual strength was already on par with Ye Shikai. But protecting a woman is a man’s instinct, and besides, Chen Yuxin was his wife—Ye Shikai was already used to protecting her by reflex.

"Besides, I’ve got so many elders and experts guarding me. Nothing will happen."

"Wuyan, you stay here with the main force. If there really are Worms, you can detect them from the hall as well. Also, if anything happens, notify me immediately." Ye Shikai hesitated for a moment, then still decided not to have Wuyan follow him. There might be all kinds of Worms in this institute; if someone fell into the Worms’ "ambush," they could be sent to the hall right away for Wuyan and the Worm Sect disciples to treat. And Wuyan had come this time to assist Ye Shikai—he didn’t want Wuyan "trapped in danger."

"All right then. I’ve already instructed the disciples to spread out among every team. Once they sense the presence of Worms, they’ll pick up on it."

"Good, I’m heading out. Xin, you come with me too." Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin took the middle route; according to those researchers, if they wanted to reach George’s office, they had to go this way.

"Xin, stick close to me, and be extra careful." Ye Shikai was walking at the front when suddenly a squad of guards rushed out from the corner.

"Intruders discovered, open fire!"

"Careful." Ye Shikai released his Inner Strength outward, condensing it into a "wall." The bullets were blocked outside, unable to penetrate at all.

"Courting death." Chen Yuxin suddenly charged forward; her speed was so fast she directly slipped past the bullets. Raising the Chunjun Sword, she swung hard. Sword Qi surged, and the entire squad of guards was knocked to the ground; their internal organs were shattered by the Sword Qi, and they died on the spot. Even Ye Shikai was a bit stunned—Chen Yuxin’s strength was in no way inferior to his. Maybe it was because he had never seen Chen Yuxin make a move before.

"Let’s go."

"Okay."

"Quick, stop them!" As they entered a warehouse piled high with materials, dozens more guards rushed out and kept spraying bullets at the group. Ye Shikai hurriedly shielded Chen Yuxin. The Chen family members were all cultivators, but they probably hadn’t handled guns much.

"Hidden Guards, hear my order: spread out, seize the high ground, and pin down their fire."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Xin, you stay here, don’t move no matter what." Ye Shikai reminded her. The Hidden Guards had already taken the high positions in the warehouse; once the personnel spread out, the enemy fire naturally scattered as well, which happened to give him an opening.

"Go to hell." Ye Shikai suddenly rushed forward, a single knee strike easily sending a man flying.

"Careful, the intruder has broken through the line..."

Ye Shikai turned and attacked the guards to the side, the Netherworld Blade protecting him as he effortlessly cut down the nearby guards. The Hidden Guards seized the opportunity to move in, using their gunfire to wipe out the rest.

"There are heavy machine guns up there as well. The guards here are practically a whole army." Ye Shikai exclaimed. This was just an ordinary warehouse, but their route should be correct—if they kept going deeper, they ought to reach the core area.

"Come on, let’s keep going in."

"Okay."

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

"Once we get through this corridor, we should reach their experimental area. I wonder how things are going with Nightmare and Director Jin." Ye Shikai muttered, suddenly feeling a bad premonition. This long corridor was so empty, with surveillance cameras, yet for some reason there were no guards at all.

"Wait, everyone stop." Ye Shikai suddenly shouted, and the team halted one after another.

"Kai, what’s wrong?" Chen Yuxin asked.

"Something’s off. It’s way too quiet here. Quickly, send a few people to hold the entrance—don’t let them cut off our retreat." Ye Shikai ordered. Several Hidden Guards turned back at once, and suddenly an iron door slammed down, crashing heavily onto the ground and automatically locking into the floor. Ye Shikai’s heart jolted—just as he suspected, this had definitely been set up long in advance.

"Sir, the door’s deadlocked, we can’t open it." The Hidden Guards tried to lift the door but were completely unable to move it.

Bang.

At that moment, another iron door dropped in front as well, sealing everyone inside this small space.

"Everyone be alert, watch for traps." Ye Shikai shouted. Gun barrels suddenly extended down from the ceiling at both the front and back, aiming at the crowd...

"Careful!"

Bang bang bang.

Bullets spat from the gun barrels, which tracked the crowd as they moved. In an instant, several people were shot and fell. Fire poured in from both sides, a crossfire meant to "slaughter" everyone in this cramped space.

"Chen family members, hear my order: form the Array." Chen Yuxin remained unusually calm. She used Inner Strength to form a protective barrier, placing the Chunjun Sword in front. A powerful energy emanated from the blade, blocking the way ahead. The Chen family elders also produced their own magical artifacts, forming a barrier behind. Ye Shikai had personally witnessed—and experienced—the might of the Chen family Array before; it was practically flawless.

Ye Shikai didn’t waste any time either. He took two explosives out of his Storage Ring and, under the Chen family’s cover, dashed forward. His movement technique was enough to evade the bullets; in a flash, Ye Shikai had already reached beneath the gun port. He leaped up and shoved the bomb inside.

Bang.

Using the same method, Ye Shikai destroyed the rear machine-gun port as well. After the explosions, things finally went quiet...

"What material is this?" Ye Shikai walked up to the "iron" door and said calmly. This was definitely not ordinary steel but some special material, extremely hard, and fireproof and blast-resistant.

"It should be made of a special alloy." A Hidden Guard answered. "Explosives probably won’t blow it open, and in a space this small, a violent explosion would cause collateral damage to us."

"All right, let me try. You all fall back." Ye Shikai drew the You Xi Sword. Blade and sword, both Supreme Divine Weapons. He gathered his Inner Strength into the weapons and hurled them hard at the door in front.

Bang.

"Cough, cough—the door’s open." Ye Shikai waved his hand. With energy that powerful, if the Chen family hadn’t set up an Array, everyone might have suffered internal injuries from the shock...

"Xin, are you okay?" Ye Shikai asked.

"I’m fine. I didn’t expect there to be so many mechanisms here." Even though they had reacted in time, more than a dozen Chen family members still died to the traps, making Chen Yuxin’s expression grow grim.

"Enough, let’s move, and everyone stay sharp."
