The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1958: Ji Tao’s Sudden Illness

Chen Ligong was quite efficient and quickly found a "safe house" guarded by Ji family’s escorts inside and out. Most importantly, Chen Yuxin wouldn’t know about this place.

"Today, we managed to escape with great difficulty, but we don’t know what her next steps will be." Ye Shikai sighed. Chen Yuxin had already torn her face with him completely, and he wasn’t sure what she would do next. Ye Shikai suddenly thought of the child, but Chen Yuxin, no matter what, was the child’s mother, so she shouldn’t do anything dangerous to the child.

"Right now, the worms in your possession are what Chen Yuxin cares about the most. As long as the worms are still in our hands, even if she acts, she won’t go too far. Besides, I believe she won’t harm you." Ji Qian comforted.

"Qian, that’s exactly what I’m most worried about. She won’t harm me, so she will surely harm you and the Ji family. If it implicates you, that’s something I don’t want to see." Whether from a personal or family perspective, there is a great conflict between the Chen family and the Ji family. If Chen Yuxin had a list of people she most wanted to eliminate, Ji Qian would probably be at the top.

"Don’t worry, I have already notified father, and the family will be on guard. Also, the Zheng Family from East Sea and the Li Family from Chang’an are family allies, and they will provide support as well." After all, the Ji family is a major family in Yanjing and has long been prepared.

"I really can’t understand what she wants to do, why she needs so many worms." Ye Shikai felt a bit overwhelmed. He still hadn’t figured out what Chen Yuxin was thinking. They had been married for so long, and even had a child, yet she still kept some things from Ye Shikai.

"The biggest possibility for why she doesn’t want to tell you is because she knows you’d oppose her, so she decided to keep it from you." Ji Qian said calmly.

"You’re right," Ye Shikai nodded. In reality, this was indeed the case. If he knew the Chen family was cultivating worms, he would definitely oppose it, even to the point of threatening Chen Yuxin to stop, because he doesn’t think this is a good thing. Cultivating so many worms must have a larger goal, and Ye Shikai opposes all acts of unnecessary killing.

"If the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect and Red Poison Gu also originated from the Chen family, then Tianjing’s death is also inextricably linked to her." Ye Shikai sighed. It seemed that the decision to kill Tianjing might have been made by Chen Yuxin. He never expected her to do such a thing.

"Do you think the HST project might be related to her?" Ji Qian suddenly asked.

"I don’t know, nor do I want to know." Ye Shikai shook his head. Although George indeed possesses worms, it doesn’t necessarily mean Chen Yuxin is the mastermind behind the HST project. Perhaps she was just leveraging relationships.

"In summary, avoiding her isn’t a good solution now. I need to find an opportunity to meet with her again."

"Alright, I’ll go with you then."

Evening.

"Young Miss, something big has happened." Chen Ligong suddenly burst in. Normally composed, it was the first time he showed a panicked expression.

"What happened?"

"The Family Head... the Family Head suddenly fell gravely ill and is barely hanging on."

"What, how could this happen?" Ji Qian jumped up from the sofa upon hearing the news.

"Father’s health has always been good, how could this happen?" Ji Qian shouted.

"Your servant doesn’t know, but please, Young Miss, you must return home now."

"Prepare the car quickly, hurry." Ji Qian was already losing control of her emotions, and Ye Shikai was also shocked. Ji Tao was no ordinary person, a cultivator wouldn’t suddenly fall ill, let alone to a critical state. Ye Shikai couldn’t believe it, but he thought of someone, Chen Yuxin.

"No matter what, hurry back first, I’ll accompany you back." Ye Shikai advised.

"Alright."

On the road, Ye Shikai drove at top speed, but for Ji Qian, the wait was agonizingly long. Suddenly hearing the news, she was not prepared at all, with anxiety, shock, fear, and worry filling her heart.

Twenty minutes later.

"We’ve arrived." The group hurriedly got out of the car and charged straight into the Ji family.

"Elder Chen, you cannot enter." As soon as they reached the door, a few guards stopped them.

"Rude, don’t you see it’s the Young Miss?" Chen Ligong yelled, "What kind of people are you?"

"This..."

"Get out of my way." Ji Qian couldn’t hold back her anger any longer, releasing her inner strength and instantly knocking back the guards.

"Let’s get inside quickly."

"Elder Chen, whose subordinates are those guards at the gate? Why did they dare to stop us?" Ye Shikai asked curiously. The guards shouldn’t fail to recognize Chen Ligong and Ji Qian. Knowing their identities, why dare stop them? There must be someone directing this.

"They should be Ji Feng’s people." Chen Ligong explained, "Only his people I haven’t seen, and only he could replace the guards at the gate."

Bam.

Ji Qian pushed open the door forcefully. Inside, Ji Feng, Ji Yu, and many Ji family members gathered, the atmosphere looked oppressive, and Ji Tao lay in the center of the sickroom.

"Sis." Ji Yu cried and rushed over. Ji Tao’s sudden illness was a major blow to the Ji family, Ji Yu had never faced such a situation, she immediately broke down in tears.

"Don’t worry." Ji Qian consoled briefly, then walked to the bedside.

"Qian’er."

"Father." Seeing the critically ill Ji Tao, Ji Qian could no longer bear it, tears immediately fell.

"What on earth is going on here?" Ji Qian asked.

"Reporting to the Young Miss, the Family Head suddenly fell seriously ill, and his vital signs are rapidly declining. We’ve checked repeatedly but can’t find the cause." The doctor replied.

"And you?" Ji Qian turned to the family elders nearby.

"Fellow elders, couldn’t you determine the cause either?" Ji Qian questioned.

"Young Miss, though we consider ourselves somewhat knowledgeable, the Family Head’s symptoms show no root cause. We’ve checked, and the Family Head hasn’t been poisoned. Even consuming antidote pills had no effect. Currently, we can only use Inner Strength to sustain the Family Head’s blood and energy."

"This is an internal matter of the Ji family, outsiders should leave." At this moment, Ji Feng approached Ye Shikai and said coldly. Ye Shikai was certainly aware of who Ji Feng was—a petty man aiming to seize the position of Family Head. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting now, Ye Shikai would have liked to punch him in the face.

"Third Uncle, I brought him here. Do you have a problem with that?" Ji Qian said coldly.

"Niece, though he’s your friend, the situation is unique right now, hope you understand."
