The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1955: Escaping the Secret Chamber

"Of course, they are."

"Quickly think of a way to help me." Ye Shikai urged.

"The rope on you is specially designed to deal with cultivators, with someone setting a technique upon it. Unless your cultivation level is high enough, it is impossible to break free." The Blade Spirit explained.

"I don’t want your introduction; I want to know how to escape." Ye Shikai retorted.

"Although such ropes can restrain cultivators, they are essentially ordinary ropes. If there is a sharp weapon, it should be able to cut through." The Blade Spirit replied.

"Are you saying that a rope that can bind a cultivator is afraid of a little knife?" Ye Shikai questioned.

"Yes, you can understand it that way."

"But right now, I can’t use the Storage Ring." Ye Shikai felt a bit troubled; this rope had such effects; otherwise, he would have already pulled out the Netherworld Blade.

Ye Shikai scanned the surroundings; it was empty. It seemed Chen Yuxin deliberately cleared out the clutter, leaving him without any tools handy. But this didn’t faze Ye Shikai; at the corner of the wall was an edge, though not sharp, it was the only tool he could use. If things went smoothly, spending more time on it might succeed.

Ye Shikai painfully stood up; his whole body was bound like an "earthworm," unable to use even a single finger, relying only on his abdominal muscles.

Just as Ye Shikai was about to act, he suddenly paused; there was likely a hidden camera here, monitoring his every move, so he couldn’t be too obvious.

Ye Shikai was once the team leader of the Dragon Teeth, possessing strong reconnaissance abilities. But being tied up, it was difficult to observe. He could only slowly move to the corner, pretending to stand unstably, and fall to the ground, with his hands landing on the wall edge.

"Ouch." To pretend falling, Ye Shikai deliberately cried out a few times, showing a pain-stricken look. Seeing no one entered, he felt relieved.

His hands tightly bound behind him gave him an opportunity; Ye Shikai used the wall edge like a fixed "knife," sliding the rope over it. He felt the rope slowly being cut through...

Half an hour later.

Ye Shikai felt his palm loosen; the rope finally severed. Once the rope broke, its effect disappeared. At this moment, a vigorous shake from Ye Shikai could shatter the rope to pieces, but he didn’t do it. To leave here, he needed to use his wits. His hands held both ends of the broken rope, pretending still bound.

"Feng Ling, Feng Ling." Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Shortly thereafter, Feng Ling walked in from outside the door.

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

"Help me untie the rope." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Sir, I must refuse. The Family Head’s orders, I must obey; if you have any requests, feel free to tell me."

"I need to use the bathroom." Ye Shikai retorted, "How will you help me?"

"This..."

"Just help me untie the ropes." Ye Shikai continued.

"Sir, let me help you up first. There’s a restroom inside." Feng Ling stepped forward, bending over to try to help him up.

"Alright then, be gentle, my limbs are all numb." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement. Feng Ling leaned over to help him, one arm around his shoulder, the other supporting his waist.

"Thank you." Ye Shikai said lightly; with a shake of his arms, the ropes on him instantly snapped apart. Before Feng Ling could react, Ye Shikai’s palm struck her neck.

"Sorry, you’ll have to stay here for a while." Ye Shikai placed the unconscious Feng Ling on the ground, shook his arms and legs, and quickly rushed to the door, opened it, and locked it again after exiting. Given the surveillance cameras here, although he had successfully escaped, he’d soon be discovered by the Chen Family. He must leave quickly.

"Quick, head to the secret room."

"Hurry."

Sure enough, Ye Shikai heard footsteps approaching from afar, hurriedly put on the Netherworld King’s Helmet, concealing his body.

"Strange, where is the person?"

"Master Feng Ling is inside, she’s been knocked out. Hurry and check."

"Yes."

When the Chen Family guards arrived, they couldn’t find any sign of Ye Shikai, baffled. There’s only one route in and out, they didn’t know where Ye Shikai had hidden.

"Quickly deploy guards to block several exits. Don’t let anyone or any vehicle in or out."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The Chen Family immediately went into alert mode, but Ye Shikai was invisible; they couldn’t find him. He headed quickly to the rear garden of the Chen Family; from there, the wall allowed an escape to the outside, with few guards.

"Wait." Ye Shikai suddenly stopped his steps, looking back at the residence; the secret room lay in the basement of the residence, a dangerous place, home to many deadly worms. Ye Shikai had to destroy them; if he left like this, next time he returned, those worms would surely have been moved, impossible to trace again.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Shikai turned and entered the residence, of course, still with the Netherworld King’s Helmet to stay hidden.

"Place all items in the secret room; dispatch more personnel."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Ye Shikai approached slowly, swiftly moved, knocking out several people before him. Inside were the secret worms cultivated by the Chen Family, though Ye Shikai didn’t yet know Chen Yuxin’s purpose, they absolutely couldn’t be left alive.

Ye Shikai put all these thousands of urns into the Storage Ring, the scene instantly became much "quieter."

"Bad, he’s in the secret room, chase!" At this moment, the Chen Family guards detected the commotion, everyone rushed in his direction.

"Bad luck." After obtaining the worms, Ye Shikai swiftly fled toward the rear garden, trying to avoid confrontation with the guards. With the invisibility effect of the Netherworld King’s Helmet, coupled with his familiarity with the Chen Family’s mansion layout, he smoothly escaped from the Chen Family via the rear garden.

Ye Shikai still wasn’t certain if Chen Yuxin was home or not, but judging by the situation, she should have gone out. Ye Shikai took out a backup phone and dialed Ji Qian’s number.

"Hello, Qian."

"You finally called me. I’ve called you so many times; why didn’t you answer?" Ji Qian’s flurry of questions came sweeping over, catching him off guard.

"Ahem, now’s not the time to explain all this. Qian, listen to me; I know who’s behind breeding the poisonous insects." Ye Shikai said urgently.

"Who is it?"

"It’s Chen Yuxin." Ye Shikai sighed.

"What, how could it be her?" Ji Qian was greatly stunned but quickly calmed down; perhaps she anticipated this result.

"It’s a long story; I’m coming to your place now. Let’s discuss in person."
