The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1956: Scheduled Meeting

Ye Shikai found a taxi and soon arrived at the Ji Family. The Chen family’s residence was in the wealthy district of Yanjing, where there were basically no passing taxis. Ye Shikai ran a distance before finally finding one.

"Keep the change." Ye Shikai handed over a hundred-yuan bill and got out of the car, looking anxious.

"Are you okay?" Ji Qian came out to meet him with others. Ye Shikai had escaped from the Chen family, and Chen Yuxin would soon know about it. The most crucial thing was that he had taken away all the cultivated poisonous insects; Chen Yuxin wouldn’t let it go easily.

"I’m fine, let’s talk inside." After entering the Ji Family, Ye Shikai felt somewhat at ease; this place was relatively safe.

"What exactly happened? Where have you been these past few days? And what’s with the poisonous insects?" Ji Qian poured him a cup of tea, bombarding him with questions.

"What, several days?" Ye Shikai took out his phone to check the date, only to realize that it had been two days since his unconsciousness; in other words, he had been out for two days straight, no wonder Ji Qian was so anxious.

"Quickly tell me what happened."

"I found vessels for cultivating poisonous insects, numbering in the thousands, in the Chen family’s secret chamber, then... I was ambushed." Ye Shikai recounted the events, and Ji Qian listened, both shocked and terrified. The Chen family secretly cultivated poisonous insects just a few hundred meters from where Ye Shikai slept, like sleeping on a time bomb.

"But... why would this happen? Why would Miss Chen do such a thing?" Ji Qian couldn’t understand. Chen Yuxin was already the Family Head of a prominent family, renowned in Yanjing. If she cultivated insects for healing purposes, it would be forgivable, but the Chen family’s insects were the deadliest. Why would she do that? Once the outside world knew, she would be committing a capital offense, becoming the target of public condemnation. Ji Qian couldn’t understand, and neither could Ye Shikai.

Perhaps, as Ye Shikai said, he had never truly understood Chen Yuxin...

"What about those insects then?"

"I have taken them all out, they’re in the Storage Ring." Ye Shikai said.

"Then she will definitely come for you."

"If she comes, that’s fine; I want to confront her face to face." Ye Shikai had made up his mind, but he worried Chen Yuxin wouldn’t confess.

"I suspect the black-robed people we encountered in the deep mountains of Jiangnan are from the Chen family." Ye Shikai voiced his suspicion.

"Looking at it now, it’s almost certain; they must be Chen family members. That might also explain why they stayed in the Jiangnan mountains so long without being discovered by Chen Yaogzu; they must be in cahoots." Ji Qian agreed.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Qian asked.

"I suspect the Chen family is also involved with the HST project. Since George’s insects are from the Chen family, what role is Chen Yuxin playing in the HST project?" Ye Shikai suddenly had a theory; if true, it would be terrifying.

"Don’t overthink it for now. Let’s wait for her explanation."

Ye Shikai nodded. He had to know what Chen Yuxin was planning. Now that the insects were in his hands, he believed Chen Yuxin would soon come to him.

"Qian, I need to leave here first." Ye Shikai suddenly said.

"Why?"

"Chen Yuxin will definitely come for me, maybe even send people to capture me. If I stay at the Ji Family, it will bring trouble to you." Ye Shikai was about to get up when Ji Qian pulled him back.

"Wait a moment, you have no Hidden Guard or Ghost Nightmare with you, you’re all alone. You can’t match the Chen family; better stay here, this is the Ji Family, Chen Yuxin wouldn’t dare be so bold as to directly come in looking for someone." Ji Qian advised.

"This is between her and me; I can’t drag you into it." Ye Shikai said firmly. If Chen Yuxin lost control, who knew what might happen; staying at the Ji Family would undoubtedly cause trouble.

"Then where will you go?" Ji Qian asked.

"To the old sub-base; though deserted, nothing will happen there." Ye Shikai said blandly. He didn’t want to involve anyone in this, and besides, Chen Yuxin was his wife, he didn’t want to make it a big deal.

"Fine, I’m heading there first. Qian, please keep this to yourself for now, don’t let it get out." Ye Shikai said flatly. The truth wasn’t clear yet, and he didn’t want outsiders to know, or else if ill-intentioned people exploited it, things would get worse.

"Hold on, let me accompany you then."

"No." Ye Shikai declined decisively. Ji Qian’s presence could complicate things; Chen Yuxin already had a lot of hostility toward Ji Qian, bringing her along would surely escalate matters.

"No." Ji Qian was also firm. "Where you go is your freedom, and whether I accompany you is mine."

"Alright then, just stay safe, I’m not sure what will happen."

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

Ye Shikai was driving, and Ji Qian sat beside him, both heading to the former sub-base of Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple in Yanjing.

Ring ring ring.

At this moment, Ye Shikai’s phone rang.

"Hello."

"Kai, you actually managed to escape, didn’t you?"

"Xin, I hope you can give me an explanation." Ye Shikai didn’t flare up; his tone was mild. Anger was useless; what he needed was the truth.

"You’ve hidden things from me for so long, don’t you think I deserve an explanation, Xin? Even if you made a mistake, I could share the burden with you." Ye Shikai continued, unwilling to evade responsibility. If Chen Yuxin had indeed erred, as her husband, he would bear it together, but he couldn’t let her continue the mistakes.

"Let’s find a place to meet." Ye Shikai gave her the address, though she would soon find out anyway.

The car reached the sub-base’s entrance. Ye Shikai parked, then turned to Ji Qian in the passenger seat.

"Qian, you should go back."

"If I wanted to go back, I wouldn’t have come with you." Ji Qian answered resolutely, bringing him relief.

"I am her husband, after all; she won’t harm me. I worry for you." Ye Shikai expressed his concern.

"The HST project has nothing to do with me, but I’m willing to dive in for you. Moreover, I want to discover the hidden truth too."
