The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1967: Obtaining the Cure

"Do you have any other options? Quickly tell us." Ye Shikai said anxiously.

"Actually... I’m not sure if this method will work, after all, no one has tried it before; it only appears in the records of the Worm Sect." Wuyan hesitated, much like any great invention in the world, to innovate and obtain certain technologies requires countless trials, each trial carrying a price, sometimes even life. The method Wuyan spoke of had never been tried before, and if it were to fail, Ji Tao would surely die. It was an irreversible outcome and something Ye Shikai and Ji Qian did not want to see.

"Wuyan, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but since you’ve never tried it before, if it fails, Mr. Ji’s life will be lost. So I still want to choose the most reliable method." Ye Shikai sighed. He wanted to trust Wuyan, but he couldn’t gamble with Ji Tao’s life.

"I understand. To be honest, although I am the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, I have no guarantees. If it’s about saving someone’s life, the safest way is to find Chen Yuxin." Wuyan showed understanding; the choice remained with Ji Qian.

"Qian, to ensure Mr. Ji’s safety, let me go find Chen Yuxin." Ye Shikai said determinedly.

"Alright." Ji Qian nodded gently. If Chen Yuxin were to get those worms, it would bring great disaster, but she also had her own selfish reasons; after all, Ji Tao was her father.

"I’ll go with you."

"Boss."

"Boss."

"Ghost, Nightmare, why are you here?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Boss, are you going to see Chen Yuxin? Should I bring along the Hidden Guard?" Ghost suggested.

"Alright, better safe than sorry." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

"By the way, before we leave, why don’t you let me take a look at those worms? If Chen Yuxin wants them so badly, they must have some special function." Wuyan suggested.

"Alright, we’ll wait a bit before leaving." Everyone agreed, and Ji Qian found an empty room for Wuyan. Previously, Ye Shikai was worried about not being able to control these worms, so he never brought them out. Now that the ’expert’ Wuyan was here, it was a good time for her to study them.

Half an hour later.

"How are those worms? Are they powerful?" Ye Shikai asked.

"I underestimated Chen Yuxin’s abilities. Those worms are not naturally occurring poisonous insects." Wuyan answered coldly.

"What does that mean?" Everyone was confused.

"Naturally occurring poisonous insects are mostly recorded in the Worm Sect; even if not all are recorded, only a few aren’t. But the worms cultivated by the Chen family aren’t recorded at all, and they all have characteristics of several poisonous insects, so I speculate these worms are synthesized by the Chen family using specific techniques."

"Synthesized, is that possible?"

"By synthesizing, or rather combining several types of poisonous insects, more covert and deadly worms can be cultivated, making them hard to guard against."

"I think I understand a bit." Ye Shikai thought of the HST project that transformed normal humans into mutants, similar in principle to transforming humans into half-human-half-beast, similar to the ’synthetic poison insects’.

Perhaps, this is all done using the same technology, which is indeed tricky.

"Is there a way to break these synthetic poison insects?"

"Even though synthetic poison insects are composed of multiple poisonous insects, they are fundamentally new insects. As another entity, finding a solution is going to require slow testing." Wuyan was quite helpless; although she was the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, when faced with this synthetic technology, she was at a loss. In reality, she was quite shocked that such technology existed, as it surpassed the existing technology of the Worm Sect, even considered highly advanced.

"It seems we can only go find Chen Yuxin now." Ye Shikai sighed, the atmosphere was heavy.

"Boss, since we’re going, we should go quickly, otherwise Family Head Ji’s condition could worsen if delayed."

"Alright, there’s no time to waste, let’s go now."

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

At the Chen family mansion, guards only allowed Ye Shikai and Ji Qian to enter; others were stopped outside.

"Sir, sorry, the Family Head has ordered that only you and Miss Ji are allowed to enter. The rest must stay outside." Chen Ruoya was already waiting at the door; it seemed that Chen Yuxin had anticipated his arrival.

"Boss, be cautious. If there’s any danger, activate the alarm, and we’ll come rushing in." Ghost said softly.

"No, listen carefully, no matter what, don’t come in to save me." Ye Shikai ordered. The Chen family mansion was heavily guarded, with hundreds of elite guards protecting it from all angles. Moreover, inside and outside the mansion were arrays for protection. If broken into, it would surely be perilous, and people wouldn’t be saved but rather lose their lives.

"Boss, why is that?"

"You don’t need to know why, remember, do not come in under any circumstances." Ye Shikai turned to Ji Qian.

"Qian, you shouldn’t follow me inside; I’ll go in alone."

"Why?"

"Chen Yuxin won’t harm me, but she holds animosity against you. Besides, even if you accompany me inside, it would be useless. Once I get the antidote, I will come out immediately."

"Alright, be careful."

Inside the mansion:

"Kai, you’ve finally agreed to compromise." Chen Yuxin sat on the sofa, seeming to have been waiting for some time.

"Enough, let’s dispense with the small talk. I’ll give you the remaining worms, and you give me the antidote to save Mr. Ji." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Kai, is the Ji family really that important to you? You should know that even if you can save Ji Tao now, he will eventually die by my hands. In fact, the entire Ji family will meet such a fate."

"Indeed, he is very important to me, and even more so to Ji Qian, so hurry and give me the antidote." Ye Shikai took out the remaining worms from his Storage Ring. Chen Yuxin ordered her subordinate to check them, confirming there were no explosives, then withdrew.

"Alright, give me the antidote."

"Kai, why? Why are you willing to do so much for that woman?" Chen Yuxin suddenly shouted.

"Words are useless. I have nothing more to discuss with you. Give me the antidote; I’m in a hurry to save someone." Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Fine." Chen Yuxin’s face was full of sorrowful expressions as she took out a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to him.

"I won’t make things difficult for you. Inside is a pill that can save Ji Tao’s life."
