The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1961: Annexation

"Kai, if you really do this, Ji Tao won’t survive today." Chen Yuxin threatened coldly.

"You..." Ye Shikai didn’t like being threatened, but given the current situation, Ji Tao’s life or death was indeed Chen Yuxin’s biggest ace. Ji Qian was furious yet fearful; if Chen Yuxin really went all out, Ji Tao would truly be dead.

"Kai, all decisions are in your hands." Chen Yuxin said calmly.

"Qian, don’t worry. I won’t let Mr. Ji get hurt." Ye Shikai comforted, preserving Ji Tao’s life was his negotiation bottom line. Unfortunately, Chen Yuxin understood his bottom line well, which put him at a disadvantage during negotiations.

"Kai, what do you think? Have you decided?" Chen Yuxin pressed.

"I can give you the poisonous insects, but you need to tell me what kind did you put into Mr. Ji." Ye Shikai demanded.

"Kai, you still love to bargain, but even if I tell you, it won’t be of any use. You simply don’t understand poisonous insects, nor do the Ji family. They don’t understand either; only I can save him." Chen Yuxin’s tone was almost threatening. "Also, don’t hope for Wuyan to come to your aid; Ji Tao won’t make it until then."

"Xin, don’t go too far." Ye Shikai said coldly. The two were beyond any marital affection now. Ye Shikai just wanted to punch her in the face.

"Fine, I’ll give you some first." Ye Shikai took out ten urns from the Storage Ring. He didn’t have time to check what the poisonous insects inside looked like; perhaps they were even more terrifying than the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect.

"Go check them." Chen Yuxin waved, and the attendants behind her immediately stepped forward and checked carefully.

"Family Head, no problem, the poisonous insects are intact."

"Very good."

The space within the Storage Ring is very special; things stored inside won’t "deteriorate" or undergo changes. If ice was placed inside, it wouldn’t melt even after a year or two.

"So, can you tell me now?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Don’t rush, Kai. You’ve only given ten poisonous insects; wanting information with just these is too convenient."

"Chen Yuxin, don’t push your luck." Ye Shikai said sternly. Chen Yuxin’s delay was making him displeased, but due to Ji Tao, he didn’t dare act rashly.

"Miss Chen, what exactly do you want?" Ji Qian could no longer stand it, stepping forward to demand an answer, with Ye Shikai quickly intercepting her to prevent action.

"It’s all because of you, woman. If not for you, my plan would have already succeeded. Ji Qian, you know how much I want to kill you?" Seeing her, Chen Yuxin’s expression changed, and her intent to kill was evident. Previously, when the two women met, they held some reservations, but now their animosity was laid bare.

"If you want to deal with me, I’ll give you my life; why touch my father?" Ji Qian was losing control, nearly collapsing. Ye Shikai quickly held her back.

"Now, I don’t just want your life; I want the entire Ji family." Chen Yuxin said coldly.

"Qian, don’t be impulsive. Save Mr. Ji first." Ye Shikai whispered to her.

"Alright, I agree with you. You can have the poisonous insects, but not all of them. I’ll give you half; you tell me what this is all about, and you need to provide the antidote. Mr. Ji is not involved in this." Ye Shikai tried negotiating with Chen Yuxin.

"Fine, I agree."

Ye Shikai and Ji Qian were troubled, even though "half" still amounted to hundreds, and they were all deadly poisonous insects.

"Half of the poisonous insects are here now, can you tell me?" Ye Shikai once again took out half from the Storage Ring, filling the long table with urns, all collected by Chen family members.

"Kai, haven’t you always wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter? I can tell you." Chen Yuxin said calmly. "Actually... this started when you returned to Yanjing last year..." Chen Yuxin paused, suddenly looking at Ji Qian beside her.

"Miss Ji, although I really want to kill you now, please leave first. This matter, I’ll only tell him."

"You..."

"Alright, Qian, you go out first; as soon as I get the antidote, we’ll go back and save Mr. Ji." Ye Shikai comforted, knowing Chen Yuxin’s reluctance for Ji Qian to know the secret plan had her reasons.

"What’s your plan, can you tell me?" After Ji Qian left, Ye Shikai coldly demanded.

"Kai, why are you so angry?" Chen Yuxin slowly approached, but he pushed her away with both hands.

"Spit it out."

"Kai, I know you hate me now, but it’s because you don’t understand me. I would never hurt you." Chen Yuxin reached out and grasped his hand.

"Enough, just tell me what’s going on."

"Actually, this plan was set into motion before you returned to Yanjing last year. These poisonous insects are meant to target Huaxia’s major families." Chen Yuxin showed a hopeful and aspiring smile. "Kai, your return makes this plan even more seamless."

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Naturally, to annex all the families."

"You’re crazy." Ye Shikai fiercely shook off Chen Yuxin’s hand. Huaxia has dozens if not hundreds of families. Despite the Chen family’s power, it is nowhere near ruling over them all, let alone annexing every family. Ye Shikai hadn’t imagined Chen Yuxin’s ambition being so immense.

"Had you heard this before, it might have seemed a fantasy, but not anymore. With these deadly poisonous insects, no cultivator can stand a chance; even Wuyan couldn’t save you. Starting from Yanjing, every family of Huaxia will be annexed one by one."

"Kai, now that you’re with me, this plan will be even easier to execute."

"Enough." Ye Shikai freed himself from Chen Yuxin’s grasp. "I have no interest in your insane plan. I also don’t care what you’re trying to do, just give me the antidote."

"You want to save Ji Tao, right?" Chen Yuxin said coldly. "Why, what’s so good about the Ji family? Is it because of that woman?"

"She saved my life, more than once. The Ji family has helped me in countless ways; no matter what, I can’t watch Mr. Ji get hurt. Hand over the antidote, immediately, at once."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, those inflicted with poisonous insects have no antidote; even I don’t have one."
