The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1962: The True Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"What did you say?" Ye Shikai shouted excitedly.

"Those poisonous worms have no antidote, Ji Tao is doomed," Chen Yuxin said coldly.

"You crazy woman," Ye Shikai charged forward, grabbing her collar tightly.

"Let go of the Family Head," Feng Ling and Xue Ming rushed up, trying to stop him, but Chen Yuxin dissuaded them.

"Don’t you come over."

"You crazy woman, how can you be so ruthless." Ye Shikai was furious, slapping Chen Yuxin’s face. She didn’t dodge, letting Ye Shikai’s hand land on her face. Her fair skin turned slightly red. Inside, Ye Shikai felt immense pain. Chen Yuxin was so heartless and ruthless, and as her husband, he couldn’t accept it. Furthermore, if there really was no antidote, Ji Tao was doomed to die.

"Kai, why would you help the Ji Family? If that woman has done you a favor, I can spare her life, but the Ji Family will be annexed sooner or later." Chen Yuxin seemed to have lost her mind. She harbored hatred for Ji Qian and ambition drove her desire to annex the Ji Family, even though the Ji Family had never wronged the Chen family. They would not escape this ’catastrophe.’

"Kai, we are the true pair, I can’t tolerate anyone coming to destroy our relationship. And Ye Yi, you should think of me and the child."

"I have nothing to say to you, how could Ye Yi have such a cruel mother." Ye Shikai’s face was full of anger and collapse. He never expected Chen Yuxin had been planning such a shocking scheme all along, and her ambition was so grand. Huaxia had so many great families, what the Chen family was doing would make them a target, but as she said, these deadly poisonous worms, even someone as skilled as Ji Tao couldn’t deal with them, they were indeed the bane of all cultivators.

"Kai, the first step of the annexation plan is to start with the Ji Family. By tomorrow, there will be no place for the Ji Family in Yanjing." Chen Yuxin’s face showed a slight smile, but at this moment, the smile seemed so mad...

"You’re dreaming, as long as I’m here, nothing will happen to the Ji Family."

"Kai, don’t make a fuss, give me the remaining poisonous worms."

"You’re dreaming, I will never give them to you." Ye Shikai resolutely refused.

"It doesn’t matter, I already have half of the poisonous worms, that’s enough." Chen Yuxin sneered, "Ji Tao won’t survive today, the Ji Family will be annexed sooner or later."

"Is that so, I’ll make sure you don’t even have half." Ye Shikai took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed the button on it.

Boom.

A loud boom came from behind, and the jars cultivating poisonous worms exploded instantly. The incendiary bombs inside burst open, forming blazing flames that engulfed all the jars. The air was filled with crackling sounds, and those poisonous worms were quickly engulfed in flames. Although the poisonous worms were deadly, they were ultimately just ’worms,’ and the fierce fire could burn away all filth.

Ye Shikai certainly wouldn’t easily return the poisonous worms to Chen Yuxin. He had placed incendiary bombs in several of the jars. With a simple press, they would be incinerated instantly.

"Now you have no poisonous worms, let’s see how you will execute your plan." Ye Shikai sneered.

"Kai, you’re forcing me."

"It was your ambition that destroyed us all." Ye Shikai turned to leave, but his path was blocked by a group of Chen family guards.

"Kai, hand over the remaining poisonous worms."

"Dream on." Ye Shikai took out the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword from the Storage Ring. He didn’t want a life-or-death struggle with Chen Yuxin, but they had already parted ways. If those poisonous worms fell into Chen Yuxin’s hands, then the entire Huaxia wouldn’t be peaceful.

"If I’m not mistaken, George is also your man, right?" Ye Shikai suddenly said, a strange expression flashed across Chen Yuxin’s face, confirming his guess.

"Kai, it would have been better if you hadn’t gotten involved in this. I could have kept it from you all along." Chen Yuxin muttered.

"So it’s true, you are the mastermind behind Project HST." A tear streaked down Ye Shikai’s cheek. For so long, since the Mothman incident, he had been kept in the dark. Chen Yuxin never mentioned it to him, not even a bit of information.

"So many people, turned into half-human, half-beast monsters, Xin, are you human or a devil?" What shattered Ye Shikai the most was the HST project. The scenes were heinous beyond words.

"Honestly, just a second ago, I prayed you would say ’no,’ but it really was you." Ye Shikai looked at the ’devil’ in front of him. She was his wife and also a ’devil,’ two ’figures’ gradually overlapping...

The existence of the HST project led to untold death, those innocent test subjects. Ye Shikai had once vowed to personally strike down the mastermind, and he hadn’t expected it to be his wife, whom he shared a bed with.

"Kai, I know your temper, that’s why I’ve kept it from you, but you have to believe, I never wanted to harm you. Even if you’ve ruined the base, even if George died at your hands, I wouldn’t harm you."

"Don’t come near me." Ye Shikai yelled sharply, raising the Netherworld Blade at her.

"Things have come to this point, Kai, I’ve no way back. The HST project has taken too many lives, and cultivating these poisonous worms took too much time. There’s no turning back with the drawn bow, the plan can only move forward. I have no other choice, give me the remaining poisonous worms."

"That’s right, there’s no turning back with the drawn bow, those who died won’t come back, but I still want to bear it with you." Ye Shikai tried one last persuasion. He firmly believed that things hadn’t yet reached the point of no return.

"It’s no use, Kai, don’t persist." Chen Yuxin murmured.

"Boss, we’re here." At this moment, a sudden shout came from not far away. The Dark Guards suddenly stormed from the left side of the manor. Leading them were Ghost, Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, and Demoness. Last night, Ye Shikai had already ordered the four, along with all the elite from the Netherworld Palace, to rush to Yanjing overnight. Now it seemed the timing was just right.

"Take them all down."

Ye Shikai quickly retreated, joining the Netherworld Palace members. This was the Chen family’s manor, and Chen Yuxin had already placed many men here. The Netherworld Palace members had only broken in to rescue Ye Shikai. If they stayed longer, they would surely suffer.

"Boss, are you alright?" Ghost asked.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. Everyone, evacuate at once." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Yes."

"Yes."
