The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1971: Discussion

"Alright, since the boss has already instructed us, we’ll stay and continue to monitor the Chen family’s actions," Nightmare agreed, indicating they would keep watch over them.

"Moreover, mobilize all available personnel immediately."

"Everyone, Boss, you’re not joking, right? Since we annihilated Zeus and Doris, we’ve recruited thousands. If everyone is mobilized, Jin Li and the Divine Weapon Team will definitely notice and they won’t allow it." The members of Netherworld Palace were shocked; this wasn’t just talk. If they really did this, it would certainly lead to a chain reaction, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

"At this moment, we can only fight with our backs against the wall. The Chen family has been annexing major families one after another. Do you think Jin Li doesn’t want to intervene? It’s not that he doesn’t want to; he is powerless. The affairs between families are inherently complex. Moreover, the Chen family currently has two trump cards: synthetic poison insects and mutants. I fear no one can do anything to them unless there’s a way to counter them." Ye Shikai intended to make a last-ditch effort. Since Jin Li couldn’t stop Chen Yuxin, he had to gather all the forces he could muster to stop her.

Ye Shikai didn’t share his plans with Jin Li. In fact, it had been a while since the two had been in contact. He believed that at this moment, Jin Li wouldn’t oppose him. If any force was willing to join in stopping Chen Yuxin, he would support it.

"Let’s not delay any longer; let’s set off quickly." Ye Shikai glanced at his watch. It was still early morning, but time was not on their side. As soon as day broke, news of the Ji family being wiped out would spread, and if the Wang family and Murong family were a bit wise, they wouldn’t gloat at this moment. They should realize they might be next.

Late at night.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ye, Miss Ji." As soon as they arrived, before they had a chance to go to the Zheng family, a familiar face came to greet them.

"Mr. Zheng, why are you here?" Ye Shikai asked curiously. They had just entered and hadn’t disclosed their location, yet Zheng Ji found them as if he had eyes that could see a thousand miles.

"It’s not difficult to inquire about things," Zheng Ji continued, "Mr. Ji, my father has been waiting at home for some time, please come with me."

"Mr. Zheng, do you know the purpose of our visit?" Ye Shikai asked in return.

"News of the Ji family’s demise has already spread. You’ve been driving all day, so you probably don’t know what’s happening outside," Zheng Ji said calmly. The Zheng family father and son were sensible people; they quickly understood the situation and had devised a strategy for the events likely to unfold next.

"My father predicted you’d come to the East Sea to find us, so I’ve been waiting here all day, and you’ve finally arrived," Zheng Ji explained.

"I see. Now that you mention it, it’s quite embarrassing," Ji Tao waved his hand. After traveling all day, he hadn’t properly rested. Just after getting rid of the worm poison in his body, such a big event happened last night, leaving his body still weak.

"Mr. Ji, there’s no need to feel ashamed or responsible. My father has already understood the cause and details of the matter. The Chen family came prepared and with so many monsters; no family could possibly resist them solely on their own strength. So... you’re here to form an alliance, right?"

"Mr. Zheng, you’re indeed perceptive. In that case, there’s no need for us to hide it," Ye Shikai nodded in agreement.

"Rest assured, actually, my father has the same idea. It’s wonderful that you could come," Zheng Ji finished, and the group finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Li was indeed a wise man, understanding the principle of ’when the lips are gone, the teeth get cold.’

The Zheng Family.

"Old Ji, it’s really great that you all could come." As they arrived at the Zheng family house, Zheng Li was already there with a group of people waiting at the entrance.

"This isn’t a place to chat. Let’s go inside and talk."

"Alright."

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

"I’m really sorry about the Ji family. Frankly, I didn’t expect that young lady from the Chen family to be so vicious and ruthless, having plotted for so long without any leaks."

"It’s not that there were no leaks, it’s just that none of us suspected her." Ye Shikai sighed bitterly.

"Right now, it’s not about blaming someone for their responsibility but about thinking of how to solve it," Zheng Li continued. "We need to unite the families in Huaxia, but the first challenging part is how to convince them."

"If those family heads are a bit wise, they should choose to join. However, when disaster strikes, they’ll still want to preserve themselves," Zheng Li sneered. Ye Shikai agreed; most of those family heads appeared righteous on the surface but were actually driven by interests. Among them were also cowards and shortsighted individuals, some didn’t want to oppose the Chen family, and others believed in a ’people don’t bother me, I don’t bother them’ mindset. But they didn’t realize Chen Yuxin’s ambition; even if they didn’t provoke her, they’d eventually be annexed.

"Mr. Ye, even if we do our utmost and unite all the families, can we defeat the Chen family?"

"Hard to say. This will be a bloody battle. The mutants of the Chen family are inherently strong in combat. Unless we can find a way to counter them, it’s very uncertain," Ye Shikai admitted. He wasn’t without options; they had destroyed HST’s headquarters and obtained many samples and finished medicines, offering some chance of breaking through.

"But what about the synthetic poison insects?" Zheng Li asked.

"Those synthetic poison insects are made by modifying various types of poisonous insects. To obtain an antidote, extensive research is still needed," Wuyan answered.

"How long, exactly how long?"

"At least a few months, at most... it’s hard to say."

"What do we do then? In that long time, the Chen family could have already annexed everyone."

"But without breaking through those synthetic poison insects, it’s very hard to deal with them. Those insects only need to bite once to kill, even experts in the Body Integration Realm find it hard to resist."

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

"Everyone’s quite downhearted right now, what do you think?" After the meeting ended, Zheng Li asked the attendants to prepare rooms for the Ji family. For the time being, they could only stay at the Zheng family house.

"Qian, I think I should go and have a good talk with her," Ye Shikai sighed bitterly. The current situation was truly unsatisfactory, and he didn’t want to see so many people perish.

"Haven’t you realized her ambition yet? She won’t stop until she achieves her goals."
