The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1929: Operation Concluded

Although the group consisted of cultivators, the truck rolled over a dozen times, and they were somewhat injured, with a few sustaining fractures. Ye Shikai led them toward the camp. Although he hadn’t ordered everyone to evacuate when the self-destruct device was activated, the device itself served as an alarm, suggesting they should have already withdrawn.

Ye Shikai pulled out a signal gun and fired it into the sky. A fireball streaked across the sky. Clearly, they now needed medical treatment. If the main force comes, they should soon send someone over to assist.

Wuyan took out some antiseptic medicine and sprinkled it on the wounds. Soon, those minor injuries vanished completely.

"How’s the situation? Did you take out the mastermind?" Wuyan asked.

"Yes, he died under You Xi’s sword. I’ve dealt with him," Ye Shikai nodded, finally putting a major concern to rest.

"Speaking of this, I really have to thank your Lifebound Gu," Ye Shikai expressed his gratitude. In the duel with George earlier, if it weren’t for his trickery—playing dead to launch a surprise attack—he might not have been able to eliminate him within minutes. Though somewhat disgraceful, at this moment, it was meaningless. George was not a righteous person; using deceit to fight deceit was reasonable.

Ye Shikai recounted the duel between them, including the moment George released the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect, which was then defeated by the Lifebound Gu. Had Wuyan not given him the Lifebound Gu, Ye Shikai would have died inside, allowing George to escape. In a sense, Wuyan ’turned’ the entire situation around.

"The Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect is a rare poisonous insect. It entered your body but was ultimately defeated by the Lifebound Gu within you. It’s your good fortune. If even the Lifebound Gu couldn’t block it, you would have been bored through the heart and died." Wuyan commented indifferently.

"Anyway, this time you saved me, not only rescuing my life but also helping me eliminate George, terminating the entire HST project." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

"Alright, don’t say anything further. I’ve already mentioned before, I came simply to help you. Now that things are over, I should prepare to return to the Worm Sect."

"No need to rush, you’ve been out for quite some time, a day or two more won’t matter, right? I’ll host a farewell banquet in Yanjing." What moved Ye Shikai the most was Wuyan’s decision to enter and find him five minutes before the self-destruct, which was like playing with fire. Had anything gone wrong, Wuyan herself wouldn’t have been safe.

"Forget the pleasantries. If nothing else, I’ll bring the team back to the Worm Sect tomorrow." Wuyan insisted on returning to the Worm Sect, and Ye Shikai refrained from persuading further.

Ten minutes later.

"Kai, are you alright?" Chen Yuxin hurriedly arrived with a team, along with everyone from the Netherworld Palace.

"I’m fine, maybe some fractures, but it’s not serious." Ye Shikai said calmly, "Some others here are injured, hurry and get them treated."

"Alright."

From afar, the entire research institute had become a sea of fire. No need to worry about extinguishing it; by dawn, it would be a pile of rubble.

"Kai, I was really worried about you earlier." Chen Yuxin began to cry directly. Ye Shikai didn’t think much about it. When he saw Feng Ling and Wuyan, he had already roughly predicted it. He wouldn’t blame Chen Yuxin for not coming in and choosing to leave. On the contrary, he’s grateful for her decision. If anything happened to him, at least the child would have their mother to care for them...

"It’s all over now. George is dead, and everything has ended." Ye Shikai sighed. From the first encounter with the HST project to now eliminating the mastermind, so many things happened, so many people died, truly haunting.

The group returned to the camp. Though they lost some people in this operation, overall, it was perfect; they accomplished the task with minimal cost.

"Sir, we only managed to retrieve these." Nightmare brought out several refrigerated boxes, containing some bottles of medicine, looking rather disordered.

"Cough, cough, in the heat of the moment, we didn’t know which were useful, which weren’t, so we randomly grabbed some and put them in. If it weren’t for the self-destruct initiation, the medicine in the refrigeration unit could have been preserved." Nightmare explained.

"You all did your best. Speaking of which, I bear some responsibility. With a self-destruct device installed in the research institute, I failed to detect it, almost leading everyone to die within."

"What about those people?" Jin Li stepped forward and pointed at the personnel from the research institute.

"Those brought in for experiments should be sent to the hospital. As for the researchers, let Nightmare handle them." Ye Shikai said blandly.

"I understand. Given George’s death, our task is complete. This isn’t Huaxia, I must lead the team back promptly." Jin Li explained.

"Okay, I’ll have Nightmare arrange a charter flight immediately. You all travel back overnight. As for some detailed matters, I’ll explain when I’m back in Yanjing." Ye Shikai stated.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you in Yanjing."

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

Once the group finished dealing with matters, they dispersed. Nightmare naturally led the team back to the Netherworld Palace headquarters, while others gradually returned to Yanjing.

"Such a leisurely day." Ye Shikai had rested for several days. This feeling was like someone suddenly retiring or an athlete retiring after daily training, suddenly idle at home with nothing to do. After all, from a certain perspective, Ye Shikai was a ’warlike’ person; suddenly becoming ’quiet’, he found himself with nothing to do.

"Kai, now you can stay home; don’t wander around." These days, Chen Yuxin was also enjoying herself. A family of three living together without external interference was indeed a delight.

"Of course, but I promised Jin Li to go find him today to explain the situation." Ye Shikai said casually.

"Alright, come back early."

"Okay."

Ye Shikai drove and arrived within twenty minutes. Jin Li was already waiting in the office.

"Now that George is dead, with the mastermind behind the HST project gone, this project will vanish accordingly." Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Indeed, though the HST project isn’t confined to a headquarters alone; it might have base branches worldwide. How should we handle those?" Jin Li questioned.

"Fortunately, my subordinate found a file half an hour before the self-destruct, detailing each base’s situation. Given this, the remaining bases can’t escape; we just need to eliminate them one by one according to the list."
