The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1953: Chen Family Secret Chamber

Ye Shikai always felt that the Chen family’s secret chamber hid some secret. Previously, he was merely curious, but after Ji Qian mentioned this matter to him, he believed he couldn’t let it continue. Only by reaching the Chen family’s secret chamber could he uncover the secret within and even confirm Ji Qian’s suspicions.

There were Chen family guards near the secret chamber, so Ye Shikai used the Netherworld King’s Helmet to conceal himself completely, making it impossible for anyone to detect him.

"Although the Netherworld King’s Helmet can make me invisible, it consumes Inner Strength. Hurry up," Ye Shikai urged impatiently. Every time he used the Netherworld King’s Helmet, his Inner Strength was bound to be depleted completely, this time being no exception. The only difference was that he didn’t need to fight this time; he only needed to wait here for Blade Soul to break the array.

"Don’t worry, soon. The Array Map records many arrays. I only need twenty minutes to break this array." Blade Soul replied.

"Alright, no problem."

Half an hour later.

"Blade Soul, is it done yet? I’m barely holding on," Ye Shikai gasped for breath. His Inner Strength was already seventy to eighty percent depleted, and a wave of heat surged in his chest, a sign of excessive Inner Strength consumption.

"Break."

"Open." Ye Shikai pushed hard, and the wooden door of the secret chamber finally opened. He slipped inside and quickly shut the door, fearing detection, then removed the Netherworld King’s Helmet, finally breathing a long sigh of relief.

"Finally made it inside." Ye Shikai exclaimed, the Chen family’s secret chamber must hide some secret.

Ye Shikai slowly walked inside, as Chen Yuxin had said, it hid many ancient books. Ye Shikai casually took one, which recorded a martial art manual, but he didn’t care. He picked another one but completely couldn’t understand it; it was filled with ancient characters, leaving him completely "blind."

"Forget about it; there shouldn’t be anything useful here." Ye Shikai glanced around. They were mostly documents, which were just waste paper to him. What he wanted to know was probably not here.

Chen Yuxin specially built a secret chamber here and even set up an array, definitely not to preserve old matters; there must be something more important.

Ye Shikai picked up a small wooden stick and lightly tapped the floor and walls.

"It’s hollow here." When Ye Shikai walked to the corner, he suddenly made a major discovery; the corner’s floor was hollow. If it were solid, the tapping sound should be heavy and dull, but the corner’s floor tapped like an unripe watermelon...

"But how to open it?" Ye Shikai tried; the floor couldn’t move. Surely, he couldn’t "violently tear it down," what if there were mechanisms below, can’t use brute force.

"Look around nearby to see if there’s a mechanism to open it." Blade Soul suggested.

"Alright, I’ll take a look." Ye Shikai nodded. There should be a switch around here. His gaze fell on a painting on the wall. The painting was famous, but his focus wasn’t on it; beside it were sliding marks.

Ye Shikai gently pushed the painting along the marks, revealing a password lock. It seemed to be the switch, but... he didn’t know the password.

Despite being skilled, he couldn’t pick locks...

Regardless, it’s reached this stage, got to give it a try.

Ye Shikai tried using Chen Yuxin’s birthday, but unfortunately, the password was incorrect.

"Try yours, might be your birthday." Blade Soul suggested.

"Alright." Ye Shikai randomly entered his birthday, but the password was still wrong. If the system errored three times in a row, an alarm would trigger, and Chen family’s guards would rush over.

To leave here or gamble on luck, it’s a choice.

Ye Shikai quickly pressed several numbers, and suddenly, the corner floor slowly opened; he succeeded, the password was correct.

"What’s this password?" Blade Soul curiously asked.

"Ahem, nothing." Ye Shikai perfunctorily replied without explanation. Below the floor connected a section of stairs; he walked down.

Ye Shikai worried there might be people below, so he lightened his steps, but contrary to his expectation, no one was there; the surroundings were dimly lit, and even the path was scarcely visible.

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

"What is this?" In front of Ye Shikai was an urn, not large, but he felt an impending crisis.

"Don’t touch it." Blade Soul suddenly shouted.

"Why?"

"It’s filled with worms." Blade Soul’s words made his blood run cold; inside... it turned out to be worms, Chen Yuxin actually raised worms in the secret chamber, although she’d raised Single Love Poisonous Insect before, but those were deadly worms.

"Are you sure, Blade Soul?"

"Indeed, though I can’t see, I can sense there are more than a dozen types of worms inside. If you open the lid, they will all rush out."

"Let’s leave it then." Ye Shikai continued walking inside, soon reaching the deepest part. Inside was a circular room with dim lights, Ye Shikai couldn’t see anything.

"What’s inside here?" Ye Shikai took out a flashlight, and when he saw the scene before him, his right hand holding the flashlight trembled uncontrollably, and he collapsed on the ground.

The circular room was filled with urns, packed in circles upon circles, countless urns stacked together; he couldn’t estimate exactly how many were there.

"Blade Soul, could these... all be worms?" After a long time, Ye Shikai finally spoke. He felt a creepy sensation, hairs stood on end, as if countless ants crawled on him. If all these urns contained worms, if they all rushed out, Ye Shikai would instantly turn into a skeleton...

"Yes." It was several minutes before Blade Soul said this, evidently also frightened.

"What kinds of worms are these?" Ye Shikai forced himself to calm down. The place was packed with urns, but he couldn’t see inside, nor did he know what kinds of worms they were. Given the worms’ "power," he didn’t dare recklessly lift the lids.

"Kai, you’re here." Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him, Ye Shikai turned around sharply. Chen Yuxin and a team of Chen family guards had somehow appeared behind him.

"What’s going on here?" Ye Shikai questioned, but nobody answered his question.
