The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1966: No Way Out

Without a doubt, the attacker must be someone from the Chen family. Luckily, the attacker didn’t immediately fire more shots, nor did they cause accidental injury and chaos. Wuyan is extremely important to him and the Ji family, so her safety must be ensured. If it’s just ordinary bullets, they won’t cause any harm to cultivators. After all, once Inner Strength is activated, dodging bullets is not difficult. Therefore, Ye Shikai deduced that there must be other attackers among the crowd, but there are simply too many people here; where exactly are the attackers?

"Wuyan, I can only trouble you a little for now." Ye Shikai lifted his long sleeve and instead of removing it, directly "wrapped" Wuyan inside. Due to their height difference, Wuyan’s head was directly buried in his chest. Then Ye Shikai covered her with his coat, directly enclosing Wuyan within the clothes. Wuyan was petite and could not be seen at all while she was inside the garment.

"Lift your feet and hold onto my shoulders. I’ll carry you out." Ye Shikai murmured softly. Wuyan bent her knees, clinging onto him. Outside, there was still a circle of Hidden Guards protecting them. Ye Shikai limped his way out of the airport this way. The attackers couldn’t determine Wuyan’s position, of course. They could choose to spray bullets indiscriminately, but he knew very well that Chen Yuxin wouldn’t let him get hurt.

"Let’s go; let’s get in the car." Ye Shikai walked into the car and promptly freed Wuyan.

Huff, huff.

"I almost suffocated." Wuyan gasped heavily. Inside the car, they were very safe. The car doors and windows were bulletproof, ensuring their security.

"Sorry about that. I made you uncomfortable earlier." Ye Shikai apologized to her.

"What is going on here? I arrive, and someone greets me with bullets." Wuyan asked.

"It’s someone sent by Chen Yuxin. She wants to kill you."

"Why does she want to kill me? Isn’t she your wife? How did it come to this?"

"This matter is quite complex. Wuyan, the last time we encountered that Worm cave in the deep mountains of Jiangnan, it was a Chen family secret site for cultivating worms. Those people in black robes were from the Chen family," Ye Shikai explained.

"No wonder, being able to operate under Chen Yaogzu’s nose means they were Chen family members." Wuyan suddenly realized.

"This is all Chen Yuxin’s conspiracy. She is the mastermind behind the HST project, and her ultimate goal is to annex all the families in Huaxia."

"I didn’t expect it. Just goes to show you can know people but not see through them. Even I didn’t realize that all this was her doing." Wuyan was taken aback as well. Chen Yuxin was not only ruthless but also deeply scheming. Her secret plan had been running for so long without anyone noticing, even her keen-minded spouse by her side didn’t detect anything unusual.

"Now she wants to start with the Ji family. Ji Tao was poisoned by a worm secretly cultivated by the Chen family, so I quickly called you here," Ye Shikai explained.

"I’ll do my best."

Regarding this matter, Ye Shikai felt guilty. Wuyan was originally unrelated, yet she came to Yanjing personally to help him, and immediately became Chen Yuxin’s "primary target."

"What are you thinking?" Wuyan suddenly asked.

"Cough, cough, nothing really. Just feeling sorry for letting you come all this way and take on such risks." Ye Shikai’s words carried an apologetic tone.

"It’s actually nothing. If what you say is true, then Chen Yuxin wouldn’t spare our Worm Sect either. If she actually succeeds in implementing her plan, not only Huaxia’s major families but also the sects and organizations in the martial world would eventually be annihilated. Helping you now is helping myself and the Worm Sect."

"Actually... this is all my fault." Ye Shikai murmured. He thought that after mixing in the overseas world for so long, he had learned some cunning strategies, and acquired considerable skills, having gained a foothold and becoming a Local Tyrant. But in front of Chen Yuxin, who was once his ex-girlfriend and now his wife, he ended up being the one outplayed...

He stayed in the Chen family for so long, investigated the HST project for so long, yet never suspected Chen Yuxin, not even a thought crossed his mind. He lost, lost completely. Now, the only thing he can do is try his best to stop it before the situation worsens.

"At least it’s not too late now, isn’t it? You took all the worms from the Chen family, which gives us negotiation chips." Wuyan comforted, "Don’t worry, I will definitely heal Ji Tao."

"Thank you."

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

Ji Family.

"Wuyan, you’re finally here." Ji Qian had been waiting for some time. She learned that everyone encountered an attack at the airport, her heart nearly jumped out of her throat. Fortunately, they were unharmed in the end.

"Don’t worry. Leave everything to me." Under the guidance of everyone, Wuyan entered the inner court of the Ji family. Many elders of the Ji family were aware of her identity; her arrival brought hope to the Ji family.

"Qian, take Wuyan inside. I’ll stand guard outside." The inner court of the Ji family does not allow outsiders to enter, and he didn’t want to break the rules.

"Okay."

Outside.

"Boss, can Wuyan save Ji Tao?"

"Hard to say; it depends on what kind of worm it is." Ye Shikai originally thought that within two hours, Wuyan should have results, but it had been seven to eight hours, and she hadn’t come out, until daybreak.

"You’re finally out." Ye Shikai stayed awake all night, guarding the door, but Wuyan also looked slightly fatigued. Perhaps she really encountered some challenges.

"How’s it going? Any way to solve it?"

"The worm in Ji Tao’s body is unlike any recorded worm. Once it enters the body, it flows with the blood and doesn’t stay fixed in one place, so... very difficult to treat." Wuyan shook her head.

"No way, you are the Sect Leader of Worm Sect. If even you can’t cure it, who else can save him?" Ye Shikai felt his vision darkening, his head buzzing. If Wuyan said so, it might really be hopeless. Ye Shikai felt his scalp tingling. Could it be he really has to seek Chen Yuxin?

Behind him, Ji Qian also looked pale. She knew the situation well; without treatment, Ji Tao would undoubtedly die, and the most professional Wuyan was helpless too.

"I will go find Chen Yuxin. No matter what, I cannot let Mr. Ji just die like that." Ye Shikai said firmly. He knew clearly what would happen if he returned the worms to Chen Yuxin, but he couldn’t let Ji Qian lose her father just like that.

"Wait." Suddenly, Ji Qian stopped him.

"Qian, what do you want to do?"

"If you give the worms back to her, father will still die."

"But..."

"Cough, cough, actually, I have another way." Wuyan coughed lightly twice and suddenly spoke.
