The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1960: Negotiation

Speaking of it, Ye Shikai indeed felt ashamed. Looking at the current situation, it’s very likely that this matter was done by Chen Yuxin. She must have secretly bred a kind of worm, and then used a special method to make Ji Tao ingest it, leading to his serious illness. As for the method, it’s unknown. Maybe it’s an inside job, or maybe through some other means. In any case, Chen Yuxin is the most suspicious, and Ye Shikai, as the son-in-law of the Chen family, at least for now, staying at the Ji family, is somewhat "strange," isn’t it? If it weren’t for Ji Qian, he might have been besieged by some people in the Ji Family.

Although Ye Shikai was unaware of Ji Tao’s matter and unwilling for it to happen, after all, he is still Chen Yuxin’s husband. He is also responsible for her actions, so he felt a wave of self-blame.

"Qian, I don’t want to hide the truth, nor will I shirk my responsibility. If this is really done by Xin, even if I have to give up everything, I’ll stop all this from happening." Ye Shikai said firmly. If Ji Tao really met with misfortune, then for the Ji Family, he would be "half a criminal."

Ye Shikai even felt this was a threat from Chen Yuxin to him, because he refused to hand over the worms to her, so she made Ji Tao suddenly fall ill, as a means to threaten him.

Truly ruthless.

Ji Tao is Ji Qian’s father. Under no circumstances can Ye Shikai watch him die, especially when it’s because of his involvement.

Ye Shikai walked to the door, saw that no one was around, and then took out his phone to dial a number.

"Hello."

"Kai, have you finally come to your senses." On the other end of the line, Chen Yuxin’s excited voice came through.

"This is your doing, right?" Ye Shikai asked coldly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending to be innocent. Elder Ji’s sudden illness, you set the worm on him, didn’t you?"

"Kai, you can’t just say things carelessly. Without evidence, you shouldn’t make accusations." Chen Yuxin outright denied it at this point, and Ye Shikai’s anger rose instantly. From her tone, he was one hundred percent sure that Chen Yuxin did it, yet she spoke so "lightly," as if mentioning something trivial. He knew clearly that Chen Yuxin was threatening him, forcing him to compromise, to hand over all those worms.

"Xin, if you still consider me as your husband, then hurry and give me the antidote, then tell me everything. Regardless of the result, I can bear it with you." Ye Shikai forced himself to calm down, hoping to resolve this matter peacefully.

"Kai, this situation is very complex, far beyond what we imagine. The Chen family should make some changes." Chen Yuxin murmured, leaving Ye Shikai somewhat perplexed. What changes does the Chen family need to make...

"Kai, I’ll give you a chance. Hand those worms to me and then don’t interfere with outside matters. It won’t be long before the whole Yanjing, no, the entire Huaxia undergoes a drastic change. If you refuse, then Ji Tao’s life won’t be safe. The decision is yours. Give me an answer by tomorrow morning." With that, Chen Yuxin hung up the phone.

"Hello, hello, hello..." Ye Shikai tossed the phone aside, scratching his head with both hands, in torment. Now the decision lies with him. If he doesn’t do as Chen Yuxin says, then Ji Tao’s life will indeed be endangered. He could feel Chen Yuxin wasn’t joking.

Ji Tao is Ji Qian’s father and the backbone of the Ji family. Ye Shikai certainly wants to save him, but if he really hands over those worms to Chen Yuxin, what kind of disaster would it bring? What does she mean by a "drastic change"?

"Here you are." Just then, Ji Qian also walked over.

"Qian, let’s meet her together tomorrow." Ye Shikai sighed heavily and told Ji Qian about the phone call he just had. As expected, when she heard the full story, her hands formed tight fists. If Chen Yuxin appeared just now, Ji Qian would have charged forward unhesitatingly to kill her.

"Qian, tomorrow I’ll go with you to find her. I’ll return all the worms to her. In any case, I can’t let your father die in vain." Ye Shikai placed his hand on her shoulder. Ji Qian had sacrificed so much for him. If Ye Shikai were to refuse and watch Ji Tao die, he would indeed be despicable.

"Thank you." Ji Qian murmured, leaning against his chest.

"I should be the one apologizing to you. I never thought she was hiding so deeply. I should’ve noticed earlier." In fact, given Ye Shikai’s abilities, how could he not have noticed a hint? He just "selectively" avoided it each time, to put it bluntly, turning a blind eye...

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

The next day.

"Father’s condition has stabilized, but there’s no improvement."

"If it’s really Chen Yuxin who set the worm, she must have the upper hand. Only her antidote can save Elder Ji’s life." Ye Shikai still didn’t know which worm Chen Yuxin used, but since she dared to make a move, unless Wuyan was present, no one else could break it. Ye Shikai had already anticipated the worst...

"Miss, the Chen family must have set ambush nearby. Let me take the White Mist Army to accompany you in." Chen Ligong suggested.

"No, you all stay outside. He and I will go in." Ji Qian rejected.

"But... what if the Chen family’s people make a move."

"With me here, I’ll protect her comprehensively." Ye Shikai said confidently.

"This..."

"Elder Chen, let it be this way."

"Alright then, we will follow the young lady’s orders."

The car stopped at the entrance of a manor, built by the lake. This was a property of the Chen family, with Chen family’s guards already stationed outside.

"Qian, let’s go in." Holding her hand, Ye Shikai looked full of determination.

"Okay."

Ten minutes later.

"Kai, I knew you’d come." As the two arrived, Chen Yuxin rose to greet them. When she saw Ye Shikai and Ji Qian holding hands, her brow furrowed. Seeing Chen Yuxin, killing intent flashed in Ji Qian’s eyes. Ye Shikai could feel her clenched fists. If it weren’t for him, Ji Qian would likely have made a move already.

"I can give you the worms, but you must first tell me what to do." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Kai, I’ll tell you about this later. If I tell you now, it won’t do you any good." Chen Yuxin was still unwilling to speak truthfully.

"If you don’t tell, then I’ll burn all the worms at once."
