The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1965: Airport Ambush

Ye Shikai didn’t want to deceive Ji Qian. The situation didn’t seem as optimistic as he had expected, but he couldn’t stress Ji Qian’s mental state any further right now. Ji Tao’s condition was very bad; even if Wuyan took a charter flight to Yanjing, the earliest she could arrive would be at night. Moreover, even if Wuyan came, she might not be able to remove the worms inside Ji Tao. But Ye Shikai could only console himself, hoping Wuyan’s arrival could turn the situation around.

"Alright, you rest for a bit longer, I’ll call you later." Ye Shikai said blandly. Ji Qian had no mind to rest, getting off the bed.

"Why don’t you go eat something first, it’s been so long since you last ate."

"Okay."

Ye Shikai walked outside alone, lighting a cigarette. The sun had already set, calculating that Wuyan should be close to arriving in Yanjing. If she could cure Ji Tao, it would undoubtedly be the best, but if not, Ye Shikai dared not speculate further, as that was an unavoidable truth. If Wuyan really was helpless, Ji Tao might not survive.

Thinking of this, Ye Shikai extinguished the lit cigarette once more, taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing a number.

"Hello, Kai."

"Chen Yuxin."

"Is that how you refer to me?"

"Chen Yuxin, you’ve done so many bad things, killed so many people, how can you still be so calm? You really are a devil," Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Kai, saying that hurts me a lot. Haven’t other noble families done dirty deeds? They’re just hiding behind a facade of propriety. Besides, I’ve never intended to harm you."

"I have nothing to say to you." Ye Shikai felt Chen Yuxin was already insane; those lives were just chips to her, obtainable or discardable at any moment. She didn’t care about so many deaths; as long as she could complete the HST project, she would stop at nothing. The two had actually already parted ways.

"Kai, you’d better come back soon, just watch quietly. In less than two months, there will only be my family left among Huaxia’s nobility, and the layout of the cultivation world will be under my control."

"I won’t go back."

"Haha, Kai, you called me hoping I’d save Ji Tao, right?" Chen Yuxin turned the conversation around, ultimately seeing through him.

"Kai, you still have a chance. Before eight o’clock tonight, place the worm where I designate, maybe I’ll still consider it. Also, don’t pray for Wuyan to come help you. As long as my plan succeeds, I’ll even swallow the Worm Sect."

"Wait, what do you mean, why wouldn’t Wuyan come?" Ye Shikai voiced loudly, a bad premonition settling in. Surely... she hadn’t done anything to Wuyan?

"Kai, I’ve already given you a chance. Hand over the worm, come back to me, or else..." Chen Yuxin directly hung up the call, sending an address via text to Ye Shikai, then quickly shutting her phone off, making any callbacks fruitless.

"Damn it." Ye Shikai smashed the phone to the ground. No, he should head to the airport immediately; Wuyan should be arriving soon. From the sound of Chen Yuxin’s words, she intended to act against Wuyan.

"Nightmare, Soul Destroyer." Ye Shikai shouted loudly.

"Master."

"Boss."

"Each of you take a team of Hidden Guards and set off with me immediately; we’re heading to the airport." Ye Shikai ordered.

"Boss, has something happened?" Ghost asked.

"Chen Yuxin might be planning to act against Wuyan." Ye Shikai said coldly. Now, Chen Yuxin had lost all sense; Wuyan was the only hope to save Ji Tao. If Wuyan succeeded, then Chen Yuxin would have no chips in her hand, so she would act against Wuyan no matter what.

"When is Wuyan’s flight scheduled to arrive?"

"It’s expected to arrive by nine tonight." Nightmare replied.

"Good, there’s still half an hour. Quickly assemble the Hidden Guards and move out immediately."

"Yes."

"Yes."

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

"Boss, do you think she really has the guts?" Ghost inquired. The Hidden Guards dispersed, mingling with the crowd, vigilantly watching the surrounding situation. After all, the airport was a "critical spot"; even if Chen Yuxin were powerful, she wouldn’t dare make a move in front of everyone’s eyes, right?

"Don’t let your guard down. Honestly, I’m not sure myself, but she will definitely act against Wuyan, that’s for sure." Ye Shikai reminded.

"Yes."

"Nightmare has already personally escorted the Hidden Guards. The rest have occupied the high points of the airport. If the Chen family’s people make a move, we’ll definitely spot them," Ghost said.

"We should go take a look too." Ye Shikai got off the car and walked in directly. Inside were quite a lot of people; after all, the scale of Yanjing Airport was large with significant passenger flow.

"Go find Wuyan, she should be arriving soon." Ye Shikai said lightly.

"Yes, Master."

Ten minutes passed, Ye Shikai closely monitored the surroundings, sensing a murderous intent.

"Not good, come quickly, someone has fallen here." At this time, a distant scream sounded, a woman called out loudly. A man lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, looking critically injured.

"Hurry, someone has collapsed, call an ambulance quickly," shouted the airport guards.

Many people gathered around, some specifically coming over, while guards headed in that direction, leading to chaos on the scene.

"Master, what should we do now."

"Everyone don’t act rashly, hold your positions, and stay vigilant," Ye Shikai ordered.

"Yes."

"Yes."

This wasn’t an accident; now, only five minutes remain until nine o’clock. Ye Shikai faintly sensed the murderous intent in the air.

Finally, Wuyan appeared, the two exchanged a look among the crowd, then she slowly approached in Ye Shikai’s direction.

Three steps, two steps, one step—until Wuyan was right within reach...

Bang.

"Watch out!" Ye Shikai shouted, tackling Wuyan to the ground as a bullet grazed over their heads.

"There’s an assailant, cover them quickly." Nightmare immediately led the team to encircle the duo. The attacker’s gun was fitted with a silencer, amid the chaos, making the gunshot inaudible. Since the assassination attempt failed, the opponent wouldn’t let it rest; they’d certainly try again.

"Master, you should withdraw quickly." Nightmare immediately said. The assailant mixed in with the crowd, wearing civilian clothes, making them hard to spot.

"Alright." Ye Shikai looked down at Wuyan.

"Are you alright?"

"I didn’t expect something like this to happen right upon my arrival. Don’t worry, the bullet didn’t hit. Let’s leave quickly."
