The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1979: The Solution to Breaking It

"What kind of poison is this?"

"Blood-sealing Throat, with a bit of Golden Toad Poison—its toxicity is severe, even a cultivator can hardly withstand it," Ye Shikai said calmly. Generally speaking, it’s a toxin synthesized from Poison Arrow Wood and Poison Arrow Frog essence, extremely venomous.

"Where have you seen it?"

"Chen family." Ye Shikai knew very well that this poison is used by the Shadow Organization to assassinate targets, and the Shadow Organization is an assassin group under the Chen family. It appears that the one attempting to assassinate Wuyan should be Chen Yuxin, but whether the assassin is an infiltrator from the Shadow Organization or a traitor within the Worm Sect, nobody knows.

"The matter of the traitor should not be spread widely. If the whole Worm Sect becomes aware of it, it won’t be easy for you to continue as the Sect Leader," Ye Shikai advised. Now is a critical moment, and it’s not suitable to make a big fuss about catching the traitor.

"Alright, I’ll assign some trusted disciples to guard more closely," Wuyan agreed.

"I’m leaving tomorrow morning."

"Is there something urgent?"

"There’s still a lot happening in the East Sea. The Chen family’s actions are so swift; once the noble families of Chang’an are ’settled’, the next would be the East Sea," Ye Shikai said calmly. Looking over Huaxia, the East Sea is a vibrant city, and the Zheng Family has been rooted here for a long time, wielding significant power. Many families look up to it, and if the Zheng Family can be brought down, Chen Yuxin’s plan would be more than halfway complete.

"Wuyan, if possible, I hope you can quickly develop a method to deal with synthetic poison insects. Although the East Sea is thousands of miles from Yanjing, it won’t remain peaceful for long," Ye Shikai said calmly, as though he didn’t mention it, but everyone could feel the immense pressure.

An assassin could infiltrate the forbidden area of the Worm Sect, and similarly, could appear within the Zheng Family; there’s no absolutely safe place among the noble families of the world.

"Are you going directly to the Zheng Family in the East Sea tomorrow?"

"No, I still need to find an old acquaintance."

The next day.

"Ghost, are you sure he’s really here?" Ye Shikai queried curiously as he arrived at an abandoned building.

"The person selling the intel said so, let’s hope it’s true, don’t want to be duped," Ghost stepped forward, with Ye Shikai following. They took several turns inside the building as per the information and finally arrived at a door. A lot of dust laid on top, indicating no one had been there for a long time. However, Ye Shikai noticed a clue—the dust on the doorknob was sparse and showed marks of disguise, indicating someone was indeed inside.

"Looks like we got something this time." Ye Shikai pushed open the door. Inside were loads of equipment, and a man in short sleeves was sitting in the middle, tinkering with electronic devices he couldn’t identify.

"Mole, I’m here again."

"Why is it you again?" The man was startled to see the visitor, then slowly got up and walked forward.

"What, not happy about a customer coming to give you money?"

"Though we’ve only cooperated once, I can confirm that every time you come, you bring trouble—big trouble," Mole impatiently returned to his seat, wanting to drive Ye Shikai away, yet, they were already there and it wouldn’t be nice to simply throw them out.

"So, let’s talk business. You came here to buy stuff, right? Just say so."

"You’re really smart, but I’m not sure if you have what I want," Ye Shikai said while lighting a cigarette.

"If I don’t have it, then the whole of Huaxia definitely doesn’t have it," Mole seemed confident in his goods, understandable since his stuff was rare and not commonly needed, those who needed it were definitely ’tough guys’.

"Alright then, let me ask you, do you know about synthetic poison insects?" Ye Shikai asked coldly, causing Mole to freeze with his hands.

"Seems like you have heard of it."

"Although I don’t sell info, I’m well aware of what’s happening in Huaxia. After all, my clients are not ordinary people," Mole said faintly, putting down his instrument.

"So... do you know about the recent events?"

"Yes." Mole nodded, "Synthetic poison insects are a secret product developed by the Chen family. Recently, several families in Yanjing were overtaken because of them. You coming here is not because..."

"That’s right, do you sell anything to combat synthetic poison insects?"

"You must be joking. Even the Worm Sect can’t crack those synthetic poison insects. I sell rare stuff, mostly equipment, where would I have an antidote?" Mole shook his head repeatedly, indicating helplessness.

"So, you really have no means?"

"I’m a seller, not a god; things don’t materialize just because I wish for it."

"Come on, Mole, I heard you’ve developed something related to synthetic poison insects, or are you worried I can’t afford it?" Ye Shikai’s words were startling, instantly seeing through Mole’s lie, though it wasn’t because he figured it out by himself, but because he received ’special’ intel.

"You... where did you get this information?" Mole asked excitedly.

"That’s not important. Just tell me how much it would cost."

"This... this thing is different from other stuff; selling it would make things difficult for me..." Mole knew Chen Yuxin’s power was rising. Selling it to Ye Shikai might offend Chen Yuxin. Mole usually maintains a neutral stance, not helping any side, thus not encountering dangers, always benefiting. But currently, this balance is being disrupted.

"I understand your difficulty, but I can assure your safety, and let you name the price, how about it?"

"This... fine, I want fifty million."

"No problem, I can pay you right away."

"Alright then, wait a moment, I’ll be right back." Mole entered another room and soon returned with a bottle in hand.

"What’s this?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Since you’ve done your homework, surely you know what it is." Mole handed over the bottle, "It’s an attractant, derived from synthetic poison insects, it should be useful. However, it’s an attractant and can’t eliminate them, only lures them."

"Wait, how did you get hold of synthetic poison insects?" Ye Shikai queried back.

"You have your secrets, naturally, I have mine too."
